Then comes joining the random pubbie squad where I'll just be taking up a spot while doing my own thing. I know it discourages teamwork but without a mic I cannot lead and is it actually a bad thing? I will actually encourage it as more people need to be independent-minded instead of following your SL to a T.

Read our rules, one man locked squads will not fly unless under direct orders of your CO. Even then it's still questionable. We are never going to encourage lonewolfing, but teamwork sometimes requires infiltration of one person while the rest make a distraction. There still teamwork involved and can be done from within a working squad.

Whos right to say you can't defend your only flag at tunis? So the CO moves all the squads off and now you lost junkyard and all your other flags and bleed is worse. Sometimes keeping ONE squad back is your backbone of your offense. You can't always move forward, you need to keep eyes on your flanks when in defense. If you get tunnel vision on the main fight, your going to lose more then win.

Rockets are nice but only kill people in defensible positions while grenades are better because of the instant kill instead of having people run from rockets. Yet I understand, to have people switch to herzog would mean a change in style that people will not be accustomed to.

Nothing is better then the other. They have different uses so you can't compare the 2 in effectiveness. Herzog is extreme close range and rocks are mid to far range weapons.

Realize the skill it takes to snipe a guy but also realize that people stay still when firing giving a chance for a sniper to take out 2-3 guys in a short time. Then the ability to run away is just amazing with apms and rdx.

Snipe squads are useless. A well informed recon that know show to use explosives as their primary weapon are your best assets to a squad. Snipers cant hold down defensive lines and cannot make offensive pushes. Recons are best used for intel and explosives techs. A squad full of chatting recons will never amount to anything other then a slight nuisance.

Look at who your talking to. TG doesnt punish, its the people who dont read these forums that do.

Take into account rockets, people stuck in kit screens, Nades, lag time after the revive, and disorientation after the revive. This takes time to develope and people need to learn to cover a reviver more so then 2 people running for the revive.

again, there are times to use this and not use this. This tactic works best for those to play together often. You know what your partner is going to do and you are quicker to react. People who dont play together often need backing up of a full squad as the teamwork connection isn't as good. This isn't worng, but this takes very long time to develope.
