When playing German it is called "pissing off your teammates".

Playing today I was stuck with a bunch of campers who wouldn't advance. After the first round we had only managed to capture the AT position in the last minute. During the next round I tried to get people going on voip but the same group of prone campers just kept staying in the same place along the first ridge line. Finally about the fourth or fifth time I past them charging to the trenches, someone TD'd one of them. For some reason they thought it was me and started a tirade of insults and how they were going to "get me". To which I responded they would have to grow some nads before they could "get me" since I was in the trenches. And wouldn't you know it, five of them got up and charged the AT position. The rest of the team follows and we cap in about 10 secs. By this time I had respawned and circled to the left of the command bunker and started taunting the dweebs again and sure enough before you know it they are chasing me through the cap zone towards the tower. The command bunker falls, I turn right and somehow make it into the Station and go upstairs. Four of them follow me and finally TK me near the radio. We win the round a couple of seconds later. I was laughing so hard I couldn't play anymore and these clowns where so busy trash talking, I don't think they realized what had happened until the map started to switch and voip cut out.

I doubt the legitimacy of this claim. It just seems TOO far fetched...but who knows.

Well there was an absence of admins and for the forums sake I might not have included the bulk of the conversation which was rife with expletives. Believe it or not, it was one of the funniest things that has happened to me while playing online. :cool:

Alternatively, sneak around as a gruppenfuhrer and spot arty on various positions, then sneak off to the radio and call it in. Most of the time, if you're patient enough, you can get around all the troops stationed at the AT gun and may face minimal resistance at the bunker position where the radio is. Once you drop arty on them, it's all over. Your troops can rush in and take the position.

You do know there's a radio right by the AT trench, right? :p

The idea is that radio ussually has angry Russians with guns by it before the AT trench has been taken. Going to the next radio lets you radio the strike in without being shot at.

As russian it simple to defend the bunker when AT is cap. Just sit near ammo dump and call arty near bunker (a littlebit north) and just sit tight when arty ends just call a new one. You wont get killed near ammo, others should watch for flankers and you should have 2 or 3 guys in bunker.

That is funny. Basovka is one of my favorite maps, and its so frustraiting when your German teamates will not advance past the damn tree line. Especially right in the begining when it matters most. Ugh. Congrats on getting those cowards to move!
