After more than a couple frustrating games as the Russian's on the Danzig clone resulting in lockout, I've come to the conclusion that basic leadership via VoIP seems to make all the difference.
What do I mean? When left to their own devices, it seems (just as in real life) soldiers are content to sit back in the opening buildings or in their spawn, plinking at German/Russian helmets, the long range equivalent of whack-a-mole until the timer runs out. With no encouragement or direction, only the veterans of RO1 seem to achieve anything.
However, when someone takes over a leadership role and directs over VoIP, the effect is pronounced. It seems that even a tiny bit of audible encouragement or direction rallies the team together and things seem to get done infinitely quicker. Even just simple voice commands on occasion help dramatically in forming a cohesive team.
Anyone else notice this trend or am I just crazy?
