This would be a good option, personally I like trying all the classes for a bit of variety.

Pah, AT is still a pretty weak class, if they don't get you with the first rocket. they die.

I would use AT with the DAO-12 in places where I know there would be close quarters fighting, like in the beginning of karkand. It was pretty effective.

These past tenses upset me. Is your fall-out with Beef irreconcilable?

Two medics and a support guy are a must for any squad, though I think it'd be too hard to make a definitive "best" squad since the situation varies so much on beef, an AT guy could end up being completely useless some times, but others he's the only chance for a squad to survive. As far as 5punk are concerned, even when we just go as whatever we feel like we usually do very well :)

Berk, your squad is basically the same as mine. :roll:

And yeah, one of my AT guys could be traded out if there's not much armor to deal with, but on a map with a lot of tanks & APCs, having 2 AT's will make a world of difference. 2 can keep almost constant fire on any tanks, and you're not fucked if your AT guy bites it. Plus, sometimes, one AT just won't be able to get it done.

We tried to have another go, but after a few weeks, we just realized it was only a summer fling. *dramatic pose*

I'll be a medic, but I do seem to be having problems spawning on other team members locations.
I can sometimes join other members in my squad, but more often than not I can only spawn at my captains location.

Good fun being a medic, as I think it helps you learn the tactical side of Beef, just following people and looking at how others play.

well, that's the point, you can only spawn on your squad leader.

How come sometimes I can select other vehicles and stuff on my squad, and not the leader, and spawn in them then?

You can't.

you can however select anything your squad leader is in, even if he's not driving.

You can only select your Squad Leader (green dot) or flag locations, but if your Squad Leader is in a full vehicle you can't spawn on them cos there is nowhere for you to sit so it'll be a green dot with a red circle, this also appears if you have previously selected the Squad Leader and he subsequently dies, it'll be a green dot and red circle till the body dissapears.

I think.
