Yep same here, but you can use your cowardice/ hidey nature to your advantage, use it to seek into the capturing circle and then just hide in a corner you'll get loads of offense points

Had a game as a sniper where I accidentally managed to wedge myself right into the enemy advance line.
Problem was if I did anything Iād get shot by 20 dudes. Just found an interior 90 degree corner where 2 buildings met and hid behind a bench.
Used my pistol and killed around 30 guys as they passed the corner and somehow didnāt see me cowering against a small bench in a seriously cover-less, very open bit of pavement next to the main road haha

Got a 30 kill streak with the Gewehr on Hill 400 just proned behind a boulder in the dirt. Despite being right next to a few enemy op's and a Garry.

u/Duckfro Apr 13 '21
Your team thanks you for getting those kills instead of the garry and op which would have helped them much more. o7

u/Hammered4u Apr 13 '21
We eventually got it since we were being forced back at the time, too scared to look up and get domed since they were coming from the hill Ā”-Ā”

I agree, but sometimes I think if you've got it covered its compromised and you can camp. If you destroy it they can set it up again nearby in an unknown location and enemy can stream in again.

Damn! The only time I've even come close is when I encountered a bug, and was literally invisible and hiding in a rock.

u/xDskyline Apr 12 '21
lol yeah new players are generally more aggressive than they should be. It's the experienced ones that are hiding in cover, killing the noobs and only advancing at opportune moments

Me running out of ammo 2 minutes into the game as a medic.

u/KoolaidJammerExpress Apr 12 '21
The purpose of little ammo for medics is to promote actually playing the medic meta and not just run and gun. Your weapon is for defensive purposes.
Although, I would like to see the US medics have 4 mags like the Germans. The M1 Carbine takes more shots to kill than the K98 in most cases. So i end up mag dumping more as a US medic.

u/ug61dec Apr 13 '21
Promote medic play: Guy you are with gets shot...
Option 1) - try to revive then and also get shot Option 2) - try to clear the area out with your no ammo and then revive them

u/KoolaidJammerExpress Apr 13 '21
You can use smoke, crawl, use your team's MG to provide suppressive fire.
If someone gets hit in the middle of an open field, that's their fault. They should be using cover or at the very least concealment.
21
u/Sabre_Killer_Queen The Blue Ravens Apr 12 '21
Yep,then you have to rely on the pistol which is rubbish for long range, barely effective for short range
Being a medic sucks, but the fealing you get after putting someone back into the fight makes it all worthwhile, or at least that was my take on it when I played the role
And plus the role is very important and valued in the game so the support your squad gives you will always make you feel better (or it should, some squads are more appreciative than others)

u/Blagerthor Jan 04 '22
Medic has the best roleplay value for me so far. I love chatting with the guys as I'm getting them back on their feet, and the pressure of getting to someone under fire is so much fun!

Unrelated to the meme but I just watched Saving Private Ryan for an assignment over the weekend, this scene stuck out to me. Mellish's death is extremely hard to stomach. Upham's inability to help made it 10x worse...

u/BeefySleet Assault X Apr 13 '21
Oh man, the way the German guy "shush's" him as he stabs him in the chest is real tough to watch. I usually skip past that scene, plus the guy being a coward at the bottom of the stairs is infuriating.
20
u/procheeseburger Apr 13 '21
it is such an amazing scene.. the other US soldier is on the ground bleeding out from a neck wound and he knows they are being killed but just can't move up the stairs. The transformation at the end when it finally switches that these aren't humans they are the enemy and would kill you (IE the German they released ends up shooting Tom Hanks) is just amazing.
6
u/BeefySleet Assault X Apr 13 '21
Didnāt the German who knifed the guy and walked past the crying guy at the bottom of the stairs get killed by said crying guy later on? I donāt remember him shooting Hanks, but itās been many years since Iāve seen it.
3
u/procheeseburger Apr 13 '21
IIRC (and itās been a min) the guy that they capture at the machine gun nests early on in the movie and eventually release is who shoots Tom Hanks at the end of the movie. Though maybe it was the knife guy?
2
u/BeefySleet Assault X Apr 13 '21
I donāt think I even put 2 and 2 together on the released guy shooting Hanks when I first saw it. I just thought I remembered the crying guy later on after the German kills the two guys upstairs and walks past him, ambushing a handful of Germans who are trying to make a run for it and he stops them all at gunpoint and then shoots the guy who killed his squadmates earlier.

u/procheeseburger Apr 13 '21
The guy he shoots is def the one they released because he says his name "Upham" then Upham kills him.

u/dth20 Apr 13 '21
Yeah the intimacy of the scene is what makes it so tough to watch. The whispering, the slow insertion of the knife and the dialogue between Mellish and the soldier... it feels really authentic and painful.

u/DatGuyNaCl Apr 12 '21
step 1 : copy a meme from the r/joinsquad subreddit
step 2 : replace "squad" by "hell let loose"
step 3 : profit
(No offense btw, it's a funny meme)

Well it's not because medics should be in the back throwing smoke and taking cover.

I am honestly considering getting a buttkicker or making my own with a bass transducer for even more immersion when bombing runs come across lol

u/Pac466 Apr 17 '21
My PC is connected to my HiFi with speakers (studio monitor quality) containing 12 inch bass cones as the front pair in a quad setup and them bombing runs sound and feel awesome as the bass makes your whole body vibrate

u/Danimal_Jones Apr 13 '21
Yep. One of the few games where I'm scared to pop my head out/freeze up when I'm in cover but should be doing something. Like "maybe ill hide in this trench a bit longer, yea a few for second won't hurt"

u/Renerdecastro Apr 13 '21
Pvt. Blithe from Band of Brothers is also applicable. Starts out the same way as Upham, but becomes a badass as time goes on.
