What is your PC specs mate?
Anyways, Mine was when i was leading an Infantry squad in Karbala. We had been ordered to patroll an area in the city and it resulted in that we got ambushed. We pulled over and the 50 caliber covered us while the rest of the squad were entering a rooftop next to us. The fight was very epic and the range between us was very far. They kept shooting and the HMW was positioned right by the alley protecting our flanks. And around 20 minutes of rooftop fighting without anyone of us being killed we called on a air strike from the apache.
" Ok guys air strike coming in anytime now ". It went quiet, they kept shooting but then. BOOM tutututututututututu Shiuw shiuw! their compound was raped! We quickly waited for further instructions from the commander and flanked the building killing the remaining guys aswell as taking the weapon cache.
My most realistic moment was in the back of a huey on Muttrah with a noob pilot flying.
I hop in, he starts heading to docks and we just passed over the cranes when a vodnik lights up the pilot and he dies, and we spiral out of control into a warehouse.
Was playing the US Side on muttrah a few weeks back, we got onto a huey when the round starts and requested the pilot to get us to docks so that we can build a firebase. When the huey dropped us on the east side of the warehouses and dropped a crate, an apc came out of nowhere and started shooting the chopper, the pilot flew in the warehouse and exit through the other end and got away safely. We manage to damage the apc with a LAT kit we brought along with us and killed the crewmen as they tried to run away from the crippled apc, one of the smartest way of the use of helicopters in muttrah so far and great piloting skills. Now is that realistic enough?

Classic. Quoted for large amounts of humour.
For me, my most realistic moment is shown in this video below. I had just come off a 2 week combined arms exercise where we worked with M1's and LAV's (but not Bradleys), then played Kashan as an armoured task force. The formations we were holding, scanning our sectors, co-ordinator fires from the different weapons systems, it was all very similar to what I had done a fortnight ago. Incredible feeling.

My squad (this is on Ramiel) was getting BH transport to the area of a known cache. The Blackhawk came in quite slow (there wasn't much of a gap to fit). So about 10ft off the ground squadie just goes.
"ARRREEE PEEE GEEEEE BAIL OUT" and it sounded soooo realistic...
The squad bails (luckily) 5ft off the ground. Not one but 2 RPGs streak towards the heli, plus a PKM. Obviously it was a well coordinated (I assumed in the debrief that it was the 6 member insurgent squad all from the same clan) ambush, they waited for the heli to set down so it couldn't evade the RPGs. Anyways, only 4 of us make it. 1 I assume was in the heli at the time of the explosion, and the other got mowed down by the PKM. Luckily we were put down next to one of those long 2 story buildings with a bunch of arches on the roof. So the squad members left were me (grenadier), our squadie, medic, and a sniper (he has a good reputation on server with sniper kit so we let him take it). So we put down a rally in the building, allowing our other two guys to spawn (who we both made spawn medic). After personally taking out 2 targets and the sniper taking down another 2, we knew the cache was VERY close because he could see the tracer of about 4 guns (not counting RPGs). The insurgents were pouring fire on our position from multiple angles, so we smoked the joint and made it to the street, where with cover from our sniper we managed to cross to the other side. I usually take point or 2nd in our line, so I was inside when an RPG took out 2 of our guys while going up the stairs. about 20 seconds later our rally and sniper get taken out. Now we know that the cache is in one of the buildings very close to us, so we make a run for it and make it to the building with the cache, and take it out, including one of the RPG guys and another PKM gunner. So we both run and our squadie is trying to get us extracted by humvee. So we just run south...south...killing a few insurgents along the way. We jump in the Humvees and head home...then the round ended almost right after we got out. I was like...wow. My adrenaline was pumping because if felt so real. We were actually pretty lucky I suppose, because the squad should have tracked us (the last 2 guys) and taken us out but I guess another group or something engaged them.
Korengal Valley. I was squad leader and searched for a cache reported in the area togheter with another squad. We're close to "Laniyel" (or whatever it's called, bunker complex south on the map) when we spot an insurgent stronghold in the bunkers. A long but still very intense firefight breaks out and we're exchanging bullets for many, many minutes. We kept our fire superiority all the time though. I report the stronghold to the CO and asks for an artillery strike on the area, which we get. It became a beautiful ending to a beautiful firefight. And on the top of that, we took zero casualties, which must be a record for any squad I've lead!
It felt like a movie clip on LiveLeak or something!
Getting the teams remaining tank stuck in the boonies and trying to remove it for 10 minutes, ruining one truck in the process. That gave some realistic "****! And now what?!" feeling.
Other than that, blowing up my first Humvee as an insurgent with an IED after having waited for five minutes. The waiting time was feeling very realistic, like waiting for a bus that You feel You might have missed and thinking about going home.
i got like the best one, im sure only a few devs and back in the day testers will remember this
we were role playing on the test build when albasra changed to britan and we finally fixed the damn rock bug. it was some epic shit
at the time i was on britan, and we were at a building with a 50 cal on the road, making a check point, and there would be a few civvies walking up, and showing us their papers (field dressings) and we would let em by etc, and then a car drove up and we were like STOP AT ONCE OR BE SHOT! and they kept driving so we fired around the car, then they still didnt stop so we shot and killed him and when we went up to inspect the vehicle, another one came out of nowhere and all we hear is BOOOOM and out of nowhere shit is all exploading and stuff. it was epic.

Haha, I remember this. Back in the day when I was a tester...
There was a trend of RPing a short while after this as well. I remember one which was an insurgent posing as a civi than dropping his nade at his feet screaming allah. Even sent out a medicvac for the wounded personnel back to basrah airstrip.
I was playing Al Basrah the other week, and we were all on mumble. So the entire british team was working as one, we had like 5 infantry squads spread out walking line formation across the desert.
Then we spotted an enemy up on a rooftoop about 250 metres out and everyone stopped, but everyone had the restraint to hold fire, so we all set up, took aim and one of the squad leaders got out infront and started counting down, 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... FIRE!
A hail of red tracers covered the sky and the target was put down instantly.
We all worked together like this to get caches until we won, it was the most epic moment in PR, ever.
Kind of an old thread, I know, but it is worth bringing back to life.
Earlier today I was playing as the Americans on West Fallujah. My squad moved a crossed the main highway towards the mosque where we thought a cashe was. We cleared two blocks meeting only light resistance. We entered the mosque and found the roof empty. We began taking light arms and RPG fire from mutable directions. We set up a perimeter and quickly eliminated the threats.
I was watching a road to the west (I think) which the insurgents were using a lot. Every so often we would tag an insurgent but none fell in the street (they must have been on Khat or something). One insurgent was unlucky and I dropped in in the middle of the road. Almost immediately afterward another figure walked into the street. I held my fire because I noticed it was a civilian with his hands up and I did not want the penalty for killing him. He was slowly walking towards the wounded insurgent so I fired shoots between him and the insurgent. The civilian kept moving. He was within a meter or two when he got out his medic bag. I was so concentrated that when my squad leader yelled, "Shoot the civi', shoot him!", I hesitated but when he yelled it again I fired about half a mag while the squad leader and another squad mate did the same. Some how the damn Iraqi got away. It was hard not to engage a noncombatant and hold my fire until he showed his intentions.
My most realistic moment was on fallujah west. Our squad had taken position in a two story building near the fields of tall grass. We were successfully engaging insurgents in a nearby building.
Then, we saw movement in the grass. As the shapes emerged, we found 2 collaborators trying to draw our attention with their hands raised. Then we saw more shapes as combatants started to move up. We killed the armed insugents, and myself and a squadmate went down to arrest the civilian under the cover fire from the rest of the squad. We arrested the civis and mopped up the remaining insurgents.
It really gave a feel of the tactics used by insurgents. We really had to fight to get our way out of the compound. We had to sprint out because mortar shells were falling on our previous position. It was intense.
My most realistic moment thus far, would have to be when Me and the squadmates were moving on north westward on Muttrah, It was one of the small roads just past the first set of buildings from the mountains. As we were about to pass the cover of the wall in front of us, the squad mate in front of me dropped with a load thud of the bullet impact to his head. the entire squad hit the ground instantly. I was only about2 meters behind the guy that was hit so i decided to retreat to a safer location since we had no clue where the sniper was, the moment i stood i heard the crack of the second shot landing right where my face was just a moment earlier. blinded by the suppression effect i sprinted back behind a garbage disposal bin, when a 3rd shot just clipped the top of it. scrambling the rest of the squad tried to spot the sniper, but to no avail.
we ended up retreating about 1 and a half blocks eastward, where we hooked up with a friendly APC and got it to scout ahead. the sniper was never found.
I have two great moments from PR that give me joy just thinking about them.
One took place on Ramiel. I was the lead of an Armored Cavalry group which consisted of myself as squadleader, a grenadier, a AR, a medic, and 2 crewman manning a Stryker. We were driving around the Western part of town looking for a cache. We started taking enemy fire so the infantry got out of the Stryker and set up a base in a building near by while the Stryker drove around the block providing fire support and extraction if needed.
Well. Extration was soon needed as it seemed like dozens of insurgents began to attack our position. We had our AR on the roof laying down fire and the grenadier lobbing grenades out there, but they just kept coming. Soon, Molotoves were on the side of the building and roof and we we're huddled together watching the doorway. I radio'd in we needed extract from the Stryker as RPG's were hitting the side of the building and insurgents were rushing in the building. We then heard 50 cal fire outside and insurgents screaming as they are taken down, so we threw down smock and got the hell out of dodge. While the mission was unsuccessful the adrenaline was definitely pumping after words. We finished I believe 26-0 after that fight, which the Stryker taking down 15.
The other moment which I will always remember was on Ejod Desert. Our team , the U.S, was getting hammered and my squad was pushing into the city alone. We perched ourselves on top of two buildings, one with me as squadleader, a medic, and two riflemen with the rally on it and another on the other side of the courtyard with a AR and medic. We were quickly engaged by two squads and they fell right into the ambush. I ordered my squad to hold fire until the perfect time. When we did open up it seemed like they all dropped in seconds. A few managed to escape, but they were quickly dispatched when the riflemen and medic were sent on a flanking mission around the back to finish them off and take out the rally.
I play as (ZH) 3lephant if any of you were in those squads let me know. This makes me want to play. Haha.
I'd have to say it was when I was flying a full COW near south outpost on Kashan, the chopper was hit by 50.cal fire, but I was flying 1m off the ground, so I was able to land, and we all made it out. There was only one casualy, my co-pilot, who bled to death. 2 minutes later, another chopper came in and picked us up.
The beatings will continue untill morale improves.
Not sure if I know of any specific moment but there's certainly situation in PR where I get a feeling of realism. Like whenever you move in on an objective as a footsoldier and you have firesupport by .50 cals or APCs. And on kashan when you advance towards a flag and you pass 2-3 M1A1s and they fire with 0,5-1 second intervals with deafening blasts.
Or whenever you get into a good squad that uses cover, flanking manouvers and supressing fire.
Mestinia, 4 AT kits (1 stolen, 1 LAT, 2 HAT) ambush. 2 squads set up on a foresty hill and waited for 2 BRDMs to drive by and drop troops. luckly they passed the little hill and stoped right infront of us. tookem all out at once
