On US and European servers I generally end up playing Russian since I know the German team is generally more experienced. The only exceptions are on Spartanovka and Grain Elevator, where I pick German.
Usually, playing on the Soviet team these days goes something like this:
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "SLs, TLs, drop more smoke"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "SLs, WE NEED SMOKE."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "SLs, TLs, there are SIX of you and I've barely seen a smoke grenade ALL GAME."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "SLs, TLS, you know you can press 4 and click to use a smoke grenade, right?"
*teamkills team leader to take smoke grenades*
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "TL, could we have arty in D4?"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "TL, please cancel the artillery--we can't get into the capzone!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "TL, next time, put arty behind the capzone, not in front of it, and please use artillery, not rockets."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Guys, we are down 50 reinforcements--look before you run into the open."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Guys, we are down 100 reinforcements. Fall back and camp."
]nXs[Nikita: "Well, this was one-sided... gg"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Friendly tank, that Panzer IV has been sitting at the other end of the park ALL GAME NOW. Can you move to I5 and kill it?"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Friendly tank, the enemy tank is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Friendly tank, STOP KILLING INFANTRY and take out the enemy Panzer!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "We need more people in the capzone"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "I am the only person in the capzone. Get in the cap."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "I have been the only person in the capzone for the last five minutes. Throw smoke and get in here!"
*Gets teamkilled*
SuperL33t4770: "OMG dood so sorri!!!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "........................................"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "MG on the left flank, sniper in the white building, 2nd floor, left window."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "MG still on the left flank--don't go there without smoke, guys"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Have you guys seriously not noticed the MG sitting there on the left all game? DON'T GO THERE ANYMORE!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "...why am I still seeing dead bodies on the left flank? /facepalm."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Commander, please don't use forced respawn to respawn yourself."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Commander, PLEASE STOP WASTING FORCED RESPAWN to respawn yourself."
*must restrain urge to teamkill friendly commander upon next respawn*
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "We need an Engineer to blow the doors to A."
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Engineers, please blow the doors at A!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Engineers, please do your job and blow the right door at A!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Engineers, you are not Assault troopers! USE YOUR EXPLOSIVES!"
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Engineers, WHY ARE YOU DROPPING YOUR EXPLOSIVES IN SPAWN!?!?"
*Picks up satchel charges and proceeds to do in 30 seconds what two engineers did not accomplish in 15 minutes of game time*
/rant
Yes, I did just get out of the game.
It's going to be a long, hard road to the Reichstag...
EDIT:
]nXs[Nikita(Team): "Why have all our bunkers been destroyed by our own engineers? BEHIND friendly lines?" (on Mamayev)[/QUOTE
Funny thing is, you get the same thing on the German side too, but it doesn't matter as much
On some maps you can win as Germans without a TL or a Newbie one
Yes Mamayev Is one of the maps the Germans can win without a TL .
But you do not finishing with 100 reinforcement, instand it will be close
Playing with a bad TL,Sl and tankers on a Russian team you just get your a
