Pros:

• Great work from the squad leaders. Good initiative
• Excellent tanking, despite issues
• Decent first use of squad area reconnaissance - something we don't do often that should be incorporated. - Recommend mission controllers and OICs to use area reconnaissance and leader's recon more efficiently in their operations. Mission controllers factor in the time it takes to do it in their design.

Cons:

• PID
• Navigation Skills
• No OIC, impromptu plan was forced.
• Lack of personnel

Pros:

Pros:

• playing and leading OPFOR was a heap of fun
• mechanized MOUT was intense and excellent as well, squad ruled the town around them
• great performance from the whole squad overall
• good comms from the ALAZ-5 (2IC)
• lots of varied targers, Mission Control unafraid of using hard targets and using them well

Cons:

• failure to PID resulting in blue on blue vs an ALAZ tank
• failure to shift command among dismounts when CPL.Katsu went down (no 2IC designated beforehand)
• lack of effective direct comms with ALAZ, had one working LR and separate platoon and armored nets to juggle between
• low turnout resulting in operation planning on the fly due to lack of OIC

Pros:

• A lot of briefings allowed us to show off our adaptability to new intel
• Fun with opfor. Opportunity to get acquainted to new limitations
• Nice change of pace with no microdagr
• good 30 mill suppression, although it caused two black casualties
• squad had a go-get-em attitude

Cons:

• Too many briefings made the squad lose the big picture of the OP
• Squad was spread thin and lacked mutual support at numerous occations
• Need tanks on SR for proximity work
• Failed to maintain the Pace of ESKI 1

 

[Zubrican.F]

Element Callsign: Alaz-2
Element Leader: Sergeant Zubrican.F

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Palmer.N

Pros:

• Fun Op overall
• Finally we get to play as a different side. Playing as U.S.A. constantly is kinda boring in my eyes. So we would like to see more Ops as OPFOR

Cons:

• Server had thermal imaging disabled even though T80U does have gunner thermals which would help considering the amount of foliage in the area.
• AI shooting through the greenery. Thermals would fix this issue a bit
• T34/85 one shooting T80Bs from the front which is nonsense, but that is mod issue possibly
