Pros:
  • Interesting op concept
  • Pretty good squad work
Cons:
  • Comms were rough, felt like we could be more concise on command a lot of long winded and inffective comms
  • Personally got wrecked by two airheads well played
  • Given HLL meta, its rather hard to attempt two offensive objectives while playing defense, this forces a large portion of players outside the zone and super succeptible to mass redeploys, which crushed us twice. Cudos for the recovery just felt it would have been nice to have a more clear offensive and defensive objective, but alas airhead meta is airhead meta

Pros:
  • Fun
  • Good communication and coordination intra-squad
  • squad handled everything that was thrown at them and they performed phenomenally
Cons:
  • VOIP sucks now, cant hear anything with the garbled junk that is the in game voice now
    • This is due to the in game voip not the structure
    • With voip being as garbled as it is, need to keep comms clear and short to the point
  • Structure fell apart when we nearly clinched the final point and the cohesion fell apart

Element Callsign: Axis Fireteam 1
Element Leader: SGT.Rhone.T

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
SPC.Abejon.S
SPC.Lynch.B
SPC.Campbell.B


Pros:
  • We won
  • Fireteam was Johnny on the spot. Since we were the flex squad we had to bounce back and forth between defense and offense rapidly and repeatedly. While momentum was hard to gain with so much back and forth, the squad performed to the highest standards of the Airborne.
  • Excellent assault on Madeline bridge (first attack)
  • Team as a whole never gave in to panic, even though we were thirty seconds from losing the entire match on two occasions.

Cons:
  • Brutal approaches to almost all attacking points.

Private First Class Carrington.D

Pros:
  • Recon vehicle performed beyond expectations.
  • Back -line work on enemy Garrisons and vehicles mostly unopposed, with great effect.
  • Communication was excellent.
Cons:
  • Did well on the fallback when the enemy started threatening the back point. But need to work on being more aware of the back-line.

Element Callsign: Allies
Element Leader:
First Lieutenant Rollins.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Butcher.B
Corporal Jinto.H

Pros:

  • The team as a whole did very well, we nearly won the game, I spotted the enemy air head and dismantled it.
  • Spotted and eliminated 2 trucks and 1 puma
  • held point on defense allowing the infantry to establish a foothold and push forward

Cons:

  • Brutal approaches for recon vehicles lead to many bottoming out on ditches and bomb craters filled with water we couldn't see and ended up stuck more than 7 times on approaches, eating up valuable time where we couldn't offer the support we needed to give. Next time consider using light tanks which could traverse better.
