Element Callsign: Buffalo-1
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Whitfield.L

7th Cav Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Whitfield.L
Warrant Officer 1 Sinca.J
Corporal Velasquez.J
Specialist Hetzel.J

Sustains:

• First time with a full crew of 4 & it was great! Sinca did an outstanding job of keeping me on the right path, & the CC/DGs ensure our birds safety whilst under fire
• Loved the immersive feel of Hearts & Minds! Even though SPOTREPs were lacking on cTab/Map, the contact taken was to be expected and made flying the Pavehawk a whole lot more fun
• Solid Coordination between all air assets on LR 02. Raider & Bison were responsive when proactively reconing & clearing Buffalos multiple (hot) insertion pathways
• Gunslinger-5 effectively communicated Logistic Requests & Updated HLZ through LR 14. No lulls in tasking for Buffalo-1 throughout the Operation.
• Initial Mass Insert & Mass Extract was pretty solid (besides my slight misclick at the end..)
• x1 Roadkill credited to Sinca.J on a hot LZ

Improves:

• Initial Spoolup & departure was delayed multiple times due to Ground & Air not proactively communicating together. Lack on both ends with clarity of which birds are to be used & when everyone is loaded and the flight can depart.
• LR 02 & 14 got clogged at times when non-aviation pertinent assets hopped on & transmitted unnecessary messages. Suggestions to either list out the Radio Channels & their purpose on the map or CoC crackdown on assignments.
• The H&M Crate Spawner was a little excessive as it only had the massive plywood NATO ammunition crates. I'd suggest bringing back the simpler Domination / Insurgency Crate Spawner with draggable boxes & leave the H&M Spawner for the big stuff like truck-based logistics & FARP building (?).
• Zeus teleported a player into AO just as my Crew Chief dismounted & started to talk to them at base.

Element Callsign: Bison-1
Element Leader: First Sergeant Summerfield.P

7th Cav Personnel Within Element:
First Sergeant Summerfield.P


Pros:

• Solid Coordination between all air assets on LR 02.
• Danger close dumb rocket run (Less than 100m) killed 1x T-55 and 1x BMP with zero friendly casualties or damage.
• Good coordination with Infidel and Gunslinger 5

Cons:

• 02 and 14 got a bit cluttered with non aviation comms due to some mix-ups. Things were adjusted appropriately. Suggestion for the next one is to list the relative channels on the side of the map like we did before
• Spool up was a little annoying because we kept getting told to spool up, then spool down, then spool up, then spool down. A little frustrating, especially with lots of clickable things in the cockpit.
• Zeus teleports when we had air transport.

Pros:

• Chemical Warfare is amazing, my troopers enjoyed it and the danger aspect of it
• Squad Communications where great, and people knew what to do at all times

Cons:

• Micromanagement from leadership hindered squad ability to think outside the box (addressed in AAR)
• Squad size prohibited Entire Squad from entering 1 Heli and requiring 2 Helicopters
• One of my troopers decided to shoot a IED that was close to us that resulted in a mascas
