Here's a thread where you can post your preferred role(s) in our group missions. Examples: Squad leader Medic Rifleman Missile Specialist (carries AT/AA) Machine gunner Sniper/overwatch Demolitions Expert Engineer Helicopter pilot Fixed wing pilot Tracked/Wheeled focus (include if you have a preferred role such as driver or gunner) If I have neglected to include a specific role, please feel free to name it anyways. I will update the next post as players post their preferences. If you post initially but then later pick up or drop a role rather than editing your original post, just post a new reply so it's easier to keep track of.

Should be current as of right now, but, having done several at once, I may have made a mistake or two. Just double check the reference list and let me know if I left you out on a role.
I'm still trying to learn how to not die so... not sure what role I am leaning towards. Put me down as "generally bad at everything, but looking for a niche?" is that a role? if not, I think it should be.
If you are trying to learn i would just suggest that you pick Rifleman as your preferd role. Its the most fundamental role and a rifleman is always needed. Most people should have a basic understanding of how infantry plays. Even if you are someone who primarly drives vehicles as the vehicles are designed to support the infantry.
I have found my happy place with the Ultimax. We spent some quality time together on the range this morning. From here out my primary role is Machine Gunner / Medic with a splash of Engineer on the side.
