Recruit Ryder.T

Pros:

• Excellent game tonight with a really great team. Everyone was where they needed to be and were able to read the situation without a whole lot of micromanagement.
• Our end of the match rally was legendary. Great collapse on the point to grab it back at the last minute
• Shout out for not losing motivation after being pushed to our last point in the beginning.

Cons:

• Teams felt a little slow to react to some orders from the commander, but overall it was not bad.
• Played it a little too close tonight.

 

[Hoover.T]

Element Callsign: US - Romeo (Green Team)
Element Leader: CPL.Hoover.T
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
SPC.Buscemi.A
CPL.Doss.T


Pros:

• Green team was well co-ordinated and our squads worked well together to help eachother when needed.
• Squad mates were responsive and worked well together while carrying out orders quickly. Everyone kept a cool a head and was focused, it was great time playing with them!
• Squads were able to work together dynamically utilizing prox chat to hold the industrial zone on multiple occasions. People don't usualy use prox chat too much, but not tonight- we definitely used it quite a lot.
• Command was quick to make tough decisions under pressure and kept the teams effort co-ordinated and focused as much as possible.

Cons:

• Our team (US Forces) had a few times where we failed to mobilize quickly to secure the areas around a strongpoint after capturing it, ultimately stalling our offensive.
• Garries on our side were lacking a few times but we still managed to keep up pressure with clutch boat spawns.

• AB Squad were amazing at clearing the infantry and spawns where ever they were.
• Great communication about enemy direction and being able to response accordingly almost immediately.
• Easily switched rolls as needed.

Cons:

• Our start was a little more difficult then it needed to be. I think mostly that comes to experience and will get better as we play.
• There are so many marks on the map compared to Vietnam we gotta be a little more conscience of deleting marks as we go. I am also guilty of this.

Specialist OConner.N

Pros:

• We didn't panic when we couldn't cap the mid point back right away

[West.R]

Element Callsign: Blue Team Fox Squad
Element Leader: Sergeant West.R
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Staff Sergeant Tyszka.C
Private First Class Lindner.S


Pros:

• Good fun game

Cons:

• The northern side of the factory was NEVER actually patrolled.
• Helicopters need to do better at killing boats and take them out before they leave HQ.
• No one is getting into the hard cap zone.
• North side of the river was never patrolled.
• Need transport at the beginning of the match so squads aren't left behind at HQ.
• Should have an OPORD at the start and have a plan going in.
• Should be using transport helicopters to transport infantry.
• Need someone in charge of bringing boats to the front or dedicated to using them.
• Why are we training with boats and helicopters/air assaults if we don't use any of that training in OPs?

 

[Mix.C]

Element Callsign: US Recon
Element Leader: Lieutenant Colonel Mix.C
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Lieutenant Colonel Mix.C


Pros:

• Utterly brutal fight that came down to the last seconds
• Team never gave up, ground out the hard win
• Very good leadership kept us on task, avoided collapse and put us in position to get the W.
• AB Element, and in particular Recon worked well together and made major problems for the enemy
• Our general plan held up, insulated us from defeat and kept us in the match the whole time. There is a reason we keep wining

Cons:

• Utterly brutal fight that came down to the last seconds
• Helo logistics for match start sub optimal and arguably cost us mid off rip
• Some of the defensive garrison placements felt off to me

 

[Conner.D]

Element Callsign: Blue SL
Element Leader: 1LT Conner.D
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
SSG Tyszka.C
SGT West.R
CPL Kertz.W
SPC Haden.E
SPC Miller.F
PFC Crider.K
PFC Lindner.S

Pros:

• Great overall effort, we stayed in the fight until the end and kept pressure on mid-point the entire game
• Adapted well to enemy pushes and played aggressive defense
• Commander relayed task and purpose in a clear and concise manner

Cons:

• Need to task organize better at the start-two transport aircraft at a minimum and at least one mortar team
• Ignored push from the northeast corner of mid-point, extended that fight longer than it had to be
• Once the initial push into the mid-point is complete with transport aircraft, then have one full aircrew switch to a supply helo
• Transport helo can be used after initial drop for false insertions to have the enemy chasing ghosts-all they need to do is stay on the ground about five seconds to give the impression we are trying to push from another direction
• Indirect fire needs to ALWAYS be considered and planned for-it's a combined arms fight
