RET.Rosefield.M

Pros:

• Good mission setup
• AI seemed to act naturally. Did not stand out in the open and utilsed environment.
• Correct amount of ammo for endurance through operation.
• Brilliant showcase of air assault done well. H6O mod came into its own with fast roping and insert/exfil.
• Fantastic work from air assets in support and destroying targets in AO.
• ATLAS were fantastic in supporting and reacting to casualties. Halted a lot of black casualties.
• Clean comms within platoon.

Cons:

• Framerate drops at periods.
• Reload bug within 3CB weapons. Drum mag reload when not empty deletes from inventory, even with space for it.
• Spotreps and overall contact reports lacking.
• Crossing in front of fire witnessed at portions.
• Slight lulls at times especially in the second half of the mission.

• Solid Inter-Platoon Communication
• All Supporting Assets Were Outstanding
• Mission Accomplished

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-5
Element Leader: First Sergeant Summerfield.P

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


Pros:

• Air Assault was sexy and did a good job showing it off!
• It felt like we were in a constant state of combat after touching down at the LZ
• Gunslinger elements coordinated well on their own
• Supporting assets performed most excellently
• First time running as Gunslinger-5
• Felt that 6 and I worked well together

Cons:

• Banter during the briefing again. Banter is good, but its easy to get side tracked. People need to be mindful that the purpose of the Leaders Brief 30 minutes prior is to go over the mission, not for music playing / jokes / bullshitting. Seems to be a consistent complaint in WFWs now about the lack of time to plan or trying to rush in game to go over what we've already had 30 minutes to talk about.
• Chaotic, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
• First time running as Gunslinger-5 (Meaning my own lack of knowledge)

Element Callsign: Buffalo-3/Bison-1
Element Leader: Specialist Boyd.M

Other Members
Warrant Officer 1 Sinca.J

Pros:

• good performance from all airframes.
• FRIES and river runs went really well.
• Learnt lots about FRIES and low profile inserts.
• didn't balloon during the river run, stayed nice and low.

Cons:

• Made a rookie mistake coming back to base and hit VRS and crashed; thankfully nobody was aboard.
• Got shot by another Blackhawk during exfil.
• Camera on the H60 DAP is wonky as heck, always slewing around on its own; caused me to take a manpad I couldn't focus on because I kept getting thrown off mark.

Element Callsign: Buffalo-2
Element Leader: Warrant Officer 1 Hamm.C

Other Members:
Private First Class Burlas.J


Pros:

• Another well conceived, designed, and executed mission. Fun, entertaining, and challenging.
• Outstanding showcase of Alpha Co. aviation excellence. The proof is in the performance.
• Extremely successful and challenging FRIES insertion. We should do these things more often.
• Combined arms forces worked extremely well together as we usually do.

Cons:

• Mod issue was frustrating and some of us didn't find out until last minute. Would suggest posting future issues in the WW forum discussion.
• Slotting issues in forum sign-up verus in-game slotting was confusing.
• Unfortunate and unintentional friendly fire incident when Buffalo-2 Crew Chief accidentally discharged the mini-guns, striking and damaging
  Buffalo-3.
• Buffalo-1 attempted CSAR using the hoist system, but unfortunately, it is still bugged and they were ultimately unsuccessful. My understanding is that Hatchet Project is working on getting this fixed.

Mazinski.H if it's too late doesn't matter, but I attended as Infidel 1-3 for this WFW. Joined about 15 min late, probably why I was missed.

 

[Varnado.J]

Liber.N and Mazinski.H I attended as Infidel 1-2 for WFW. I had Acre problems so had to exit but came back into game 10 mins afterwards.
