Yeah, that shooting the enemy and they don't die shit gets to me sometimes. I know you're all probably sick of hearing it from me (and truthfully I just realized yesterday that 99% of my posts here are about lag or some whiny shit, so I apologize) but last night on Market Garden, I had my Thompson and a German was clearly afk right in front of me. I held the mouse button down for a 2-second burst of maybe 10 shots, just as a plane flew over me. When that happens, I literally don't get fps. As soon as a plane shows up on my minimap, it's like time traveling to 10 seconds in the future. When all was said and done, because of the dog fight going on, I (at about 10 feet away from this German) had used up THREE clips and gotten TWO hits. Finally I gave in and knifed him but come on.
A few more things happened to me on Nordwind last night. First of all, I grab the Sherman Jumbo (spawned as engineer). Took it and hid it in the trees on the east side of the map. The good thing about that position is that you get a great flanking shot on any tank/truck/apc that mindlessly decides to charge the back flags, but the con is any anti-tank german inf spawning at the 3rd flag, their natural direction of sneaking through the forest will bring them to you and you have to be extremely careful and look through the trees very often for sneaky fausters.
Anyway, I (more through the Jumbo being awesome than my own skill, truthfully) am there for about 10 minutes. The first three flags have fallen, and we (allies) are content to just try and hold out at the final two flags. Our arty is firing constantly, sniper in the church, etc. A panzer IV comes rolling out of the woods. First shot hits him, lights him up. Second shot blows him up. Imediately following that I knock a StuG out in one shot. No tanks for a few minutes, but I manage to machine-gun down two inf that were sneaking through the forest. Then the Tiger appears, and I take it out in two flank shots. Three more inf (one I know for sure had a faust) fall victim to me, when a Jagdpanther appears. I take it out with two shots, and then have a round bounce off the front of my tank. Searching frantically, I realize that the amazing defenders of our flag have allowed an enemy to get into one of our Shermans that spawn there. So I take him out. Then I have another round bounce off the front, and I take out a second stug, along with TWO hanomags. Unfortunately, in my haste to destroy the stug I hear the clank of a satchel. I gun it and fly out of my hiding place and into the battle. I turn the turret around and kill the inf behind me, and request repairs frantically (down to half health). I then take out a third Stug head on, at a quarter health.
'NEED REPAIRS! NEED REPAIRS!'
I check our spawn screen and see we have FOUR engineers BESIDES MYSELF, all within 200 feet of me, and NOTHING. I drive the tank as far away from the tree line as I can, and bail to repair myself, still requesting repairs. I see a comrade WITH A CARBINE run past me and into the forest. Just then, I'm hit by OUR OWN ARTILLERY.
As if that wasn't bad enough, earlier on in the round I had seen a teammate with a bazooka at the 2nd flag trade his zook for an STG44 WHILE A TIGER WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Guess he wanted omg pwnz some noobz.
True fact - anyone with a wrench that doesn't use it should be kicked for a week. It should be perfectly acceptable to teamkill morons that are only interested in their own score.
