[Sutodoreh.W]

Operation Urban Anvil
Element Callsign: EAGLE Flight
Element Leader: SPC.Sutodoreh.W "Scooter"

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

SPC.Sutodoreh.W "Scooter" EAGLE-1
SPC.Whitfield.L "Beaver" EAGLE-3
SPC.Morton.Q EAGLE-2

Pros
Lots of targets. Op had a lot of potential. None of the cons are fault of mission maker, really wished we could have run this at a time when we weren't dealing with a new modpack and server issues.


Cons

• Would have helped a LOT to have had an opportunity to test the new vehicles BEFORE an op like this. For ex. by uploading the modpack to TacR or something.
• Spent more time rearming or flying back to rearm than actually airborne
• Had to swap between 3 different vehicles throughout the op, every time had to spend long time making new loadouts for the pylons
• Apparently there were blue on blue incidents. Need to tighten up, but also didn't get any radio calls during the operation which is frustrating. Believe some of the incidents are result of new mod's CBU-105's which, in hindsight, looks like will target empty or blufor vehicles as well. Old mod version only targets opfor.

Pros:
Had a really good time with a well structured OP.
Step off was nice and fast.
Super fun running through the town with 6; when we peeked a corner and saw a tank 6's scream was beautiful; made the whole OP.
Although we had quiet a few casualties Both Atlas elements just kept on pushing and being dope.
Amazing comms once I got the hang of 3 radios.
Burton being a beast in Atlas-2 and handling all of Misfit-4's medical and living till the end to bring back a squad worth of guys and an Atlas-1 element.

Cons:
Trying to move my elements safely with no infantry support was rough at the end
Both my medical teams got pinned down at the end
Friendly hockey puck made car go boom and that was the end of me
