For maximum efficiency as radioman place yourself in an empty squad near the bottom of the squad table to make yourself a squad leader, then you spawn with binoculars and can help the Commander by marking targets instead of just twiddling your thumbs. You also can then speak directly to the commander through the Commander radio channel. This also saves you taking up a slot in an "active" squad that may need all the help it can get capping objectives.
@@TheIndogamer Yeah it's good if there is coordination, My method of making yourself a squad leader whilst playing radioman is more so that you can tail the Commander and also be more useful overall by providing marks/speak to them directly through the commander channel without polluting the side/proximity chat. Which can be dangerous sometimes, I remember marking and calling a napalm in on an enemy commander when my radioman heard his radioman communicating to him over the proximity chat.
@@gaiuscaligula2229 I'm not the type of guy that locks the squad inclusivity, so I sometimes really wish I were on the battlements just so my men could spawn closer, instead of spawning behind the Cmd.
For me, radioman is just a chill job, I always like to be SL since I can mark for the commander and be a spawn point. And radioman is great since you don't have to be in the front and die alot and rage
Being a radioman is a huge responsibility. When there's a good TL (ho chi mihn) I really enjoy playing it tho. Best commanders communicate a lot but sometimes leave some room for squad leaders to decide how to take objectives. I usually play as a SL and communicate with my squad a lot. Sometimes in Hue City I just tend to support my machinegunners and give good marks on Northern flank. Throw few nades and snipe opposing team with a M16.
My biggest thing is a lot of commanders don't get on the frontlines and that's an extra body to cap points. Playing a frontline commander is a shit ton more fun than playing a desk commander.
radioman is the most underrated class in the game. Commander is nothing without radioman Radioman is nothing without commander. Together they will decide if your team is going to win the match
They could add a feature for radioman to make him more fun He can attempt to find the frequency that enemy is using and get intel from them but it makes him for a while unavailable to use by his own commander and if his commander ask for his assistance but he can’t be available he get negative points
I think it’s worth mentioning that you will come to notice that when you play as radio man you become a priority target in an engagement as killing you will prevent any support being called in so an important rule to follow is to try blend in with grunts in your squad and, where possible, attempt to not put your self in a position where both you and the commander would be in a single players line of fire, hogging cover in an engagement, as if you give an enemy player an opportunity with both the commander and the radio op then you are leaving the rest of your squad mates without the two who, in the right hands, can be the most important to ensure they come out of an engagement on top.
I was wondering why nobody pick the radioman from what ive seen on TH-cam but i cant shoot for a penny so its a good class for me... The game will be available for free on Epic Games tomorrow (8 Oct to 15 Oct if anyone is wondering) so ill try it out. Good guide btw!
@@BunnyBun11 In the beginning, frustrating because i was rushing a lot so i died a lot. I uninstalled the game and took a break of probably 3 weeks. Came back in, as a second chance and now its been pretty damn fun. Its about been patient i think. As for the radioman, its exactly what the video is explaining. Its been fun for me even as a radioman, just supporting the team and doing a favor to the commander while protecting him. Fun game in short.
I was the radioman in an infantry platoon while doing my mandatory military service, and that's a pretty realistic portrayal of the job... Might have to get this game now, didn't know I could RP as myself lol
Bought the game like a week ago and that boddy rose guy you met in one of the clips is still there,must be some old veteran but he's one hell of a cool guy
Looked again at the thumbnail/loadout at 1:23, was that a reference to Marine radioman Cpl. Michael Wynn whose picture was iconic for it being used by The Smiths for their album "Meat Is Murder"?
also, perfect video about radioman, and I didn't know the Radioman could pretty much farm points by sitting around like a sloth with the commander drinking a beer
Sometimes I do that. I just find the map radio the safest option and the radioman just sticking with me is a waste of a man. He'll be more useful in the front lines, though it's fun to have a radioman available if you need him.
You should have touched on how if the radioman is with cmdr near objectives when attacking, he can spawn the whole team on him and turn the game real quick. Not possible if radioman isnt there with him. Great video tho!
"God.. has a hard on for Marines, because we kill everything we see. He plays his games.. we play ours. To show our appreciation for being given so much power.. we keep heaven packed w/ fresh souls. God.. was here before the Marine Corps, so U can give your heart to Jesus.. but your ass belongs to the corps!" - Gunnery Sgt. Hartman.
If you need advice on commander, I am willing to help out with some advice and voice acting. I've been known to do some legendary commanding and got most of my ranks commanding from both rising storm and red orchestra 1 and 2.
Huh!! What a funny coincidence to randomly stumble upon the great UndeadWill in the comment section of a Hex dk video... I've played as UndeadWill's radioman & the first thing I noticed about his command style was that he has mastered the art of boosting the team's morale! Many great laughs & good games were had! 😎
So was it an intentional change that you only get radio assist points for recon calls now or is it a bug that the devs won't fix? Feels kinda unfair to not get points for 3/4 of the calls.
@@Hexdk I see. I picked the game up just recently and tried radioman after watching your video (cool video btw) but I am yet to earn points for anything else but recon calls. Despite of that managed to be the highest scorer in the game once so I still like the role.
Reason why the radioman is better than stationary radios:
He’s not stationary
He can say funny things
unless he's afk eating ramen noodles
Fun fact: there’s a radio in the back of the loach helicopter

sticking with the commander all the time and you'll get highest score. that's what i have learned from radioman lol
I like how you added the "push your handle twice if you can speak" that was a real thing for soldiers in advanced positions and foxholes
He didn’t add that, that was from the film platoon
6:55 How on earth did you survive that charge?
I was thinking the exact same thing when I made it.
god is with him
By screaming of course.
@@albertpirelius amen brother.
Lovely recreation of the scene from "platoon". Best Vietnam movie ever.
Platoon was a trilogy.

Woodstock mode is the most useless feature in the game yet it wouldnt be a true vietnam experiance without it
Any other class: *Alert, advancing, killing and getting killed.*
The Commander and Radio man: *High on drugs*
NOW I KNOW PLATOON WHEN I SEE IT OR HEAR IT AND THAT RADIO INTERACTION AT THE START DEFINITELY CAME FROM THE MOVIE.. NICE VID DOUGH.....

I don't think that's a good idea, the Radioman role is pretty realistic as is, I don't really think adding gamey elements like that is a good idea
Dat commander just got straight up executed. Damn!
I like how you incorporated some Platoon elements, even the gunshot sound
Radioman: *"We just find da commander"*
Rising Storm 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. Great video, man! Thanks 👍
Radioman is unironically my favorite class in RS2V.
FYI, I main the medic in TF2
yes
Same
Me, too scared to play the actual game: It's like... I was made for this.
Yes me too, but i only do it for the ex too.
Wait so i dont have to shoot and stay in the back?
*SIGN ME UP*

5 second life expectancy
@@foxythefox356 More or less yeah, five seconds for the average radio op, like in the real war, a minute for a radioman who knows what they're doing
Great video! Also, can you make a guide on how to effectively play both Southern and Northern Commanders? That would be great.
Ah thank you man for this tutorial I really liked it!

1. Sit next to commander

That intro bit is taken from the later part of the book Platoon. Y'all should read it.
Watching these videos for *when* I get a PC
I’m just looking back on this vid and I realized wouldn’t it be cool if the VC had a war cry while bayonet charging.

Nice intro dude. I really love the way how all of it start. :/
"It's not about points, goddamn it give me a body count!"
Bombs: drop
Radioman: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*Oh look, Sir Anthony!!*
I've had a few commanders tell me to just sod off and do my own thing cause they did not need my services so I was like "Guess I'll die then."
also, perfect video about radioman, and I didn't know the Radioman could pretty much farm points by sitting around like a sloth with the commander drinking a beer

Woodstock Experience is key to radioman.

7:06 What on Earth is that screaming? Is that a toggle? Or natural character reaction to charging under arty fire?
It was something I put in during editing.
11:11 I don't think going into combat high asf us a good idea lol 😂😬

You never made a commander guide for rs2? I love your videos

Need a riflemen or a sapper guide

Always keep an eye on your HUD icon, its good to know where your commander is at all times
