Element Callsign: VIKING-1
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Abate.L

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Staff Sergeant Abate.L
Corporal Barone.E
Corporal Connelly.M
Corporal Hunter.A
Corporal Kastor.K

Specialist Rodahl.S

Private Stalker.E

Pros:

• All troopers had fun and enjoyed themselves.
• Hectic moments but platoon remained tactical.
• Squad located and marked 2x Enemy HQs along with securing non combatants at aid station.
• Effective sector markings in objectives.
• Great initial recon before any platoon movement.
• Solid job from squad putting into full use the tactics and subject matter from SP topics. Top CQC and MOUT performed.
• No server or mission file crash.
• Good initiative taken in order to adapt to objective parameters.
• Having a CHARLIE fireteam worked brilliantly in covering whole squad lane. Rolling with the VIKING-6 Sierra gave extra security to platoon. A good demonstration of how they can be utilised whilst we build numbers towards standing up 2nd squad.
• Immersive feel to mission file throughout.

Cons:

• Some low frames and rubbing banding at times.
• Vanilla thermals needed on Vehicles. Led to SABRES needing to utilise headlights.
• Lack of IR strobe usage within platoon. IR lasers were not a suitable replacement as enemy forces also had them in use.
• Lacking communication between squads in platoon. Could be due ACRE issues.
• Slow movement between objectives, lost overall momentum.
• Did not accurately report locations for ATLAS to arrive.
• Due to the overall size of the objectives it would of been better suited to keep the SABRES on flank security. SIERRA's easily tackle town movement themselves.
• SABRES in close proximity could utilise VIKING short ranges.

Pros:

• Had fun with a bit more medical
• Adapted well
• SPC.Phillips.O was quick to check in on his Element Leader on SR after hearing IDF, after two failed attempts due to the Element Leader and her battle buddy being deceased SPC.Weiss.S took charge immediately and kept things running smoothly
• After Element Leader lost all medical perms the whole team did well listening to direct orders and tending to patients efficiently

Cons:

• Lost two Sierras; one being due to odd planning and the other "ArmA'd"
• Medical permissions issues after death for Atlas-1 Team Leader slot on TS
• Atlas elements got a bit crowded at the end and too much patient treatment crossover.

Specialist Roberts.L
Private Holland.M

Pro:
Great following orders and communication within the tank
Good crew checks after hits
Good bream firing
Good uses of jocky
Solid communication to Warhorse
Good transition of command


Con:
I as lead should have resumed command after getting back to the front
I should have slowed advance to allow infantry to clear
I should have made it more clear to the tank commanders where they needed to be.
Many troopers were late and slowed everyone down which caused disorganization
