Last night was very frustrating for me. It seemed there wasn’t a lot of cohesive team play. I usually shy away from commanding but last night I was so baffled I had to step up. We were playing the Odessa map (I think) and we were getting our butts kicked early on. I had gotten team switched from the Ukraine side over to the US. I was the squad leader for a bunch good of guys with no TG tags and they seemed as frustrated as I was. I told them I was going to command to see what the hell was going on. No other squad was holding a flag for very long if at all.

After I signed on as Commander I saw three 6 man squads, two one to two man squads flying the jets and helos. I thought…hmmm…this isn’t bad why we aren’t doing better. I looked at the 6 man squads closer. The squad I left was fine. The other two 6 man squads HAD FOUR SNIPERS PER SQUAD. I immediately got on the viop and told all the SLs to switch up. One of the squads stepped up and switched but the other totally ignored me. I didn’t want to tell an Admin because those guys have enough on their plate. I wanted to try to prove to these folks that having 4 snipers in a 6 man squad really isn’t helping the team. I don’t think the SL had a voip and he ignored my team chat of “WE AREN”T GOING TO WIN IF YOU HAVE FOUR SNIPERS IN YOUR SQUAD!!!!! Unfortunately all I could do is berate them with countless, “YOU’RE THE WORST SQUAD EVER!” I thought to myself, “How can these guys not notice they are hurting the team?”

I have no idea how to prove to these lone wolf squads that they should listen to me without getting anyone kicked. I would rather not go that route because I believe kicking people is bad for TG. Any suggestions?
