When the team does NOT hang in the cap and we lose it in the first 30 seconds. Or vice versa, the team refuse to assault it and I notice I’m ramboing alone in the enemy defense line while the team snipe.
Btw, losing first cap is not a great tell - all the enemies are spawned in at the same time, close to the cap, while the best defenders have to run back and build rallies. I’ve had countless matches where the first cap was gone instantly and then 2nd one wasn’t even touched
For me the biggest tell that we’re going to lose is when my team has too many people with no respawns. It’s almost impossible to play when you have 4 or more players doing useless shit like “sNipInG” or spamming AT cannons or mortars or HMGs 300m behind the cap
they’re good at keeping an enemy away from an outdoor point, particularly if it’s the first point and they’re either AI or just spawning in and crowding the place up, faster than calling in artillery.
