Am I stupid or what? LOL

Is it just me, but......

When playing Russian, I occasionally make the mental leap that
Russian=RED, therefore Enemy=Blue, and occasionally TK.
I really have to try hard to remember that Russian=Blue - does anyone
else suffer from this, or is it just the tiredness and beer kicking
in?

I put it down to too many years of conditioning that
RED=Russian.......

Incidentally, my success rate is usually higher when playing RED, as
the Blue nametags are easier for me (colour blind) to see.....

I agree good idea!!

Absolutely.

Happens to me quite a bit when beginning a game. I've actually gotten to a
point where I say out loud "Killing blue killing blue".

Hehe

The thing that confuses me is when I have loads of folk on my buddylist
and then someone who isn't green turns up and my brain thinks it must be
the enemy, but happens to be an innocent non-buddy on my team. Oops.

I have the same problem. It is even worse (in my opinion) for The Finn Wars
mod. The Finns are represented by a BLUE flag (but are axis so they are
RED) and the Soviets are represented by a RED flag but are BLUE. Argggh!
A mod with TKs just waiting to happen, especially since you can't see the
other person in those great forests!!!

P.W.

I think it happen at first, but you soon get used to it, mostly,
the worst is autoteam changer, suddenly respawn on ex-enemy team and bam
shoot one oops.
done that a few times , sorry to anybody who etc.
