Yeah, whenever I get near infantry with the intention to provide them with cover and covering fire they instantly scatter away from that location as if I am some sort of an abomination. And then they get on the forums to tell us that we need to play the game for them. When in reality they don't want us anywhere near them. At least they could try being honest for once. I always play for victory and my team instead of going for KDR or ISK efficiency or anything like that, but if I die protecting something that could turn the tide of the battle that blueberries don't seem to be giving a frak about then I get fanmail saying that I'm scrub with no gungame.
But what infantry really wants is all the kills for themselves and auto victory without playing the objective game.
Considering I often pumped my HAV up to a whopping 600K ISK for them, both as an Anti Tank vehicle, bunker/weapons platform, and mobile troop transport...... that attitude really hurt my feelings.
Yeah, I've kind of stopped caring about blueberries because they are so ungrateful, unless they happen to be some people I know, for example I must say that ResistanceGTA and his friends can be great blueberries, they know what tank support means, it goes both ways, they kept me alive and I kept them alive. More so they kept me alive tbh. But still, when I saw them assisting me I really wanted to help them in any way I can and then that resulted in me dying in the redline because I was too stupid to get stuck there, and I didn't even have to go there in the first place.
And when I play in a squad I love it when infantry tells me in the comms where I'm needed and possibly what for and what I need to look out for on the field.
For example "Hey you stupid fraking idiot, we need you here at Echo to take out the enemy [insert type] tank"
To which I reply with "Alright, on my way" or "I'll get there as soon as I can" or something like that.
Or they could be saying "Watch out for the enemy Incubus"
But when everyone is completely silent in the comms not caring about the vehicle support in any way is a bit depressing and then I will most likely stay around one area defending it with the best of my abilities.
There are some very rare occasions when infantry wants to use me as cover and they usually let me know in the comms if they want to do that, and the also usually understand if I say that I have to bail because of X.
So if blueberries want me to help them, they should help me in return as well, and show that they appreciate me helping them, by sticking close to me if possible, I will then provide you with all the help I can to push for an objective or defend one. But if you are not engaging that pesky AV player when there are no other enemies around, I will leave you there to die.
