When TeamSpeak is Not Your Friend

[[JiF][AARP]Tissueman]

I was in a squad with Gav and Smuckers last night. I was following Smuckers to cap a flag. He jumped over some sandbags and I hit the ground on the other side. Next thing I know he says he's down and that the guy who got him is right in front of me. Now I'm pretty slow as my K/D ratio will easily demonstrate. I expect to jump up and get mowed down while I'm doing my usual "Is that a bad buy or a tree or a fire hydrant or a bit of debris" routine. Low and behold the bad guy is RIGHT THERE and I unload a full clip into him without hesitation.

While I'm reading the FRIENDLY FIRE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED note I hear Gav chuckling. I guess he had spawned in on Smuckers or slipped by me. So one of my fastest moves that night was taking out my squadmate. Looking back, I don't know if Smuckers was talking to me or Gav. Oh well. Alas poor Gav, I knew him well.

I also got to watch Smuckers knife someone. Now I know what it is like to be on the other side of that interaction. Well at least vicariously. I had my first 'drive by' knifing experience last night. Some guy ran by me and while I was shooting the ground and air I died. Then it said I had been knifed. First time I haven't had to watch the cute graphic of someone knifing me.

Yep we worked well as a squad there! I was following up the rear playing the medic role I could pick up dead people in front.
We were on Seine & pushing from B to C. Smuckers leaps the sandbags & Tissue hits the dirt without going over. I decided to leap in behind Smuckers, something Tissue obviously failed to see with his nose pressed to the concrete of the bridge.
Smuckers pushes his head out & gets taken out. Tissue's report is wholly accurate up to this point. What he failed to notice whilst grovelling in the dirt was that I then pushed out & gunned the offender down (thinking I could then safely revive Smuckers). All of a sudden 'Rambo' pops his head up from behind me & guns me down.
I had to laugh it was so funny at the time. I was only following orders sir

Perhaps I'll remember to look at that little map in the corner before I make my move next time. Sigh...

TKing/Friendly fire was the order of the day it seems. Every time I fired a rocket, Jimbo would suddendly spring after it and catch it with his teeth.

Good boy Jimbo, here's a scooby...

I think it would be a good idea to yell out "Close assault!" before you start your close assault run to the vehicle

lol

Gib,

The proper protocol is to wait until Jimbo runs in and gets killed before we fire our RPG's. He always looks so earnest when he does that.

Was that smear on the side of the BTR Jimbo?

[[JiF]Lt Gav]

Jimbo is like a dog chasing cars in the street.
As soon as he sees an enemy vehicle he slips his leash & gallops off after it, C4 in hand & tail wagging madly behind.

That's a visual I didn't need

Oh but they all like it when the go boom

[[JiF]Gib]

LOL Gav.

Ya Tissue that is true, trouble is I don't see Sparky until after I fire the rocket and then its too late and he's eating scoobies in the sky...

Now I know why Jimbo chasing tanks and seeing them goes boom delights me so much as it feels so familiar. Back in the medieval/dark ages there was a tactic employed called Incendiary Pigs. The would take a few hundered pigs, slap black powder barells on them, light them, then drive them to the enemy.

I think Incendary Jimbo's work much better and we don't have to hear all that annoying squealing and oinking, just the barking.
