downtime for making a plan vs. "being on the move all time"

[Megagoth1702]

Hey fellas.

Being a SL is also an entertaining role. Not only do we have to PWN the enemy, we also have to avoid downtimes etc. You can avoid those by making your plan up on the move (running with map open) which will go well sometimes. And sometimes you end up dead.
At the end of the day ->
You were on the move. (good)
You ended up dead. (bad)

Respawning and re-organizing is not a big deal for most players because as long as SL is entertaining (moving, firing orders, keeping them busy etc). But sometimes it would be better to sit down, make a proper plan and THEN execute? So it's like this:

You had a short downtime (bad?)
You were on the move
You ended up killing 1 and a half SQD.
Downtime-time again, need new plan (bad?)

What is better in your opinion?

I understand that this depends on situation and it's a balanced thing. Just give me your thoughts.

In my opinion it is better to have a good comms squad and always be doing something than to covertly skirt the whole battlefield and take a flag with no contacts (which is actually good SL'ing).

SO inevitably I lead my squad into the jaws of death, but there is a fair bit of fun involved as well as some aggression, and afterwards I can talk about what went wrong or how to improve. And then it's once more into the breach.

A good K ratio is desireable, but taking ground is better, and better than both is the satisfaction of knowing that you are shooting as a group. Although I can get frustrated sometimes.

If you're in my squad and you're sick of dying then by all means tell me.


Oh and I do have some good days where we pwn! Aggressive FOBs ftw!

I always run with my map open xD!
Though, I do have a point man and AR ahead of me. So the chance of me going down is minimized.

I do that too! However it usually ends this way for me [to be fair, the team was indeed being utterly useless on flags not in play]
