Whats's Your Weakness?

[BigStew]

Don't let that slow you down. I'm 6'5 and, granted I play at a woodland site, I've had people call me out for being super sneaky

last years Halloween game for scale I am on the right by the way. the forest I play in none of the trees are wide enough to give me cover.

My biggest weaknesses are all health related unfortunately. I get by as best I can but unfortunately it does impose certain limitations. I'm definitely not as fast as I used to be nor as strong. I'm still striving towards doing milsim events but it's taking a fair amount of work in terms of physio to get there but I will get there.

As far as gameplay goes my biggest weakness is probably pistol related although all this downtime has probably resulted in degradation in all the skills I've developed.

I've picked up the Texas star that was available on Weapon762 to work on my pistol skills. I've mostly been using it at around 10 meters and I'm definitely finding it to be a hell of a challenge at present. I'm yet to try out my rifles against it.

@PopRocket123 - While nowhere near as good as the original Jumanji, I must admit that the first of the two with the Rock & co in was far better than expected. I'm wary of the second one though . Kevin Hart was damn good in it although gotta love the smoulder. ?

Survivability and patience on the field for me: I often try and push up or find a sneaky flank when I have no business doing so and i'll just end up getting peppered.. even by my own team as i'll be up beyond their sight lines.  I think it literally stems from the way I've always played computer games like Battlefield and Day of Defeat where i'm fairly anti camper and am constantly looking to get behind enemy lines.

It's the reason I have recently been working on my DMRs; I'd like to learn the 'attrition role' a bit better and become more content at holding a position or even one angle. I figure playing a bit more DMR would be good for that as minimum engagement distances usually apply, and if you trick them out well enough you can get some good accuracy and consistency which is going to allow that type of game style to be more enjoyable.

Also, maintaining a good fitness level: i'm so bad at letting my fitness drop off. I can have the short term will power to get fit, but never have i had the discipline to maintain it - an example is last year..  I actually did the 'couch to 5k' thing, was definitely the fittest I'd been since I was at school, and the game days I went to during that period were so enjoyable... felt it made me generally better than I ever had been on the field; by the end of the day I'm usually pretty much dead, but with those few games I went home feeling like I could probably go on for another couple hours. Anyway, I haven't been for run now since probably the end of September.. belt size back up to 34; probably more as even these trowsers are starting to feel a bit tight, feeling a little depressed about it all... lock down certainly doesn't help.

Flexibility for me! Get cramp while laid down in shooting position for too long. 
 

Over eagerness to get kills can sometimes cost me due to my competitive nature... means I spearhead forward early and get surrounded when other teammates don’t follow me or catch me up

I also sweat a lot and that leads to fogging but nowt to being overweight. I’m just a sweaty bastard and sweat sat down doing nowt

Finally someone who gets me ?

I’ve never understood it and been butt of jokes since being a teenager! 
 

I stand by the merit of never smelling though! Good old Lynx Africa ?Just always... damp. Grey T’s are a no go for me.

My weakness is respawning and going back to where I was hit. It teaches me valuable lessons but lets my team down.  I always want to know how come I was spotted/heard/ambushed.

Weight wise, I've jogged each day through lockdown.   I'm back to the fighting weight that I was in my teens-till late 30's, but hyperhydrosis makes fogging impossible to avoid unless using mesh, which I hate.  The use of the stuff gives me the jitters, and that lack of confidence is another weakness.  

I suppose that getting too competitive with the kids in milsims is a weakness too.   They don't have arthritis, I do...

An itchy trigger finger near friendlies in CQB... I admit I just shoot before looking because I do have good reactions, but end up shooting about 6 or 8 friendlies during a day, which is atrocious ??

Yep, me too - whenever I'm at Grange live in Brum i'll rack up a fair few TKs and take a quite a few myself too. It may be the layout of the site that lends itself towards getting taken out by your own team.

I also think it might be the pistol snap shooting/dry firing I tend to do at home (I mean we all do that a bit right?)... i practice snap shooting with target acquisition being priority, and then not even think about the target identification part.  

 

[LoneTactix]

This is it, if someone is moving towards me I'm not expecting it to be friendlies but it'll be people who sneak, rush and flank well and I should just take half a second to check. 

 

[Adolf Hamster]

i swing both ways, i try and wait to identify targets until i get pissed off constantly getting blasted first so switch to shooting anything that moves until i feel guilty at team fragging.

vicious circle....

 

[Skara]

It's 20 pushups for each blue on blue in my team

Although I usually tell my nearest teammate there's an opponent somewhere, so he takes the shot AND the punishment

i generally offer to take the hit in their stead.

unfortunately my squad mates have figured out they can guilt trip me even more by refusing the offer....

 

[strykerles]

Time delaying a grenade and saying "f**k" loudly as it lands so they think it's an impact

then hearing the hit calls when it goes off

I mean last summer I was trying to keep up 100 press ups a day - so by that logic I would have has a quota of 5 TKs per game before I would actually have to start checking my targets ?

Started doing them straight out o bed again the other week.. struggling to do a set of 20 at the moment. ?

The whole point of them pushups is to teach people to check their fire

Last year we watched one of the younger guys die halfway through a series of 80, he whacked his whole squad at once
