If your in a tank squad it's a good idea to mute some of the other guys, you only really need to hear your driver and the SL. Press Tab then click on the manage tab to get a list of player you can mute.

Or better yet, create your own dedicated squad with just you and your vehicle crew in it..

Great thread guys, very topical, this has been on my mind a lot. I am an infantry fanatic and would rather beat feet than hide in a vehicle anyday. I have used tanks and apc's, it's alright but nothing compares to getting up close and personal.

I think Pancho has a point about weapon accuracy and people putting down their rifles. I am sure everyone's noticed the weapon of choice appears to be the greande these days as people struggle to hit a barn door with the adjusted weapons. The realism/steady your aim thing is broken in my opinion. As I say I prefer infantry and spend most of my time practicing my 'shoot and scoot', as such I had got to a stage where I was a reasonable shot in 0.6, nothing stellar but I could occcasionally hit what I was aiming at. Now it seems like a lottery yet the insta proners are consistently successful. I can hit stuff with the new weapons but its a slow learning process. I feel like I have to relearn each time I pick up a weapon, maybe this is realism I don't know.

I have already posted my two cents worth about locked speciality squads, the thread has now been locked as the admins are working on a new set of instructions which is fair enough. If you want to waste a minute or two have a look, its brain dribble but I bothered to type it, so there you go.

PR seems to be getting more vehicle based which leads to more and more squabbling over assets by the 'it's mine' squads. As a sidebar I have just bought a joystick and I'm going to put the hours in on a practice map to learn to fly the blackhawk. I will then happily act as a transport for all my infantry buddies on some of these god awful giant maps.

As posted before keep the faith with infantry, keep starting infantry squads I'll always join infantry first regardless of the map. The only vehicle I'm bothered about trying to use is a helo, and I need to learn to fly it first.

Anyway the battlefield is ours if we choose to take it back. Lets make sure if there is an enemy tank it is surrounded with our engineers and smothered in C4, ringed by mines, facing HAT from all directions. Get the AA kits and light up the sky like firework night, no pilot should be safe. APC's pah, they are like a little boys tank, a tank only weaker and quicker for running away. I for one shall be charging the next APC I spot with my knife drawn as an example to others (Legal Discalimer: Author clearly carried away, TG accepts no responsibility for the PR safety of anyone adopting foolhardy, beer fuelled bravado, style tactics).

INFANTRY RULE!

Cheers

^^LOL. Nice thread, and I've noticed all these speciality squads too.

I feel too cooped up in a vehicle, I like to be able to spin round quickly and react to my environment quickly, I find I can't do that in a tank.

I'm a crap SL, so it all depends on what squads are open with with known squared away SLs.

I started my first 0.7 round (Fool's Road) as a Medic in an Infantry squad and ended up wearing a Crewman kit as an APC gunner as us Brits were getting pounded the moment we left Village. We later got pounded in Village, but that's another story.

2nd round was Kashan. Started as an Engineer manning the turret MG in a 3 man tank squad and ended up sitting in the 2nd seat on a mobile AAA vehicle. You don't get much protection from enemy fire, but you can repair without leaving the turret and take out pesky enemy infantry when they pop up from behind a rock.

End of the day, I'll take the first empty slot I see in any non-Air squad and run the kit the SL tells me to use.

When ever i SL i create an infantry squad never really create a vehicle squad just doesnt apeel to me but then sometimes i will join a tank squad if there are no more inf squads open

But tanks are so much more deadly when they work in pairs, as you can get both tanks to fire on the same target simultaneously. Unless you've got the other tank squad members in TS it's very hard to coordinate with them.

I was looking in the PR forum at some of the work in progress maps, and came across this one

[Map] Al Anbar Province WIP!

I really hope they use it in a future build. The mapper is saying only 1 tank on the map, so pretty much everyone on foot.
Some of the later posts has a video of the map that looks a lot better than the screen shots on the 1st page.

Looking forward to it!

Edit:
Here is another urban map that looks interesting:
