Pros

• Captured Beketov Airbase, Command post, and cut off the Russian frontline units. therefore completing all objectives.
• Managed to secure 1 High ranking officer and 2 Intelligence workers belonging to GRU(Russian Army Intelligence Unit).

Cons

• Low attendance

Mission issues and bugs

• ACRE bugged for some as usual
• Trenches maxed out at 17 so ZEUS had to delete trenches for new ones to be built.
• Medical perms were not working for Bandit-7 and some members in ATLAS-2 even though they had doctor permissions. so ZEUS had to remove and re-apply once for it to work again.
• Surgical kits for team members in ATLAS were missing but team leaders had the equipment. They are requesting for it to be added to team member kits as well.
• 1 member Bugged after medical treatment so they went unconscious again after waking up. The temporary solution to this was a ZEUS heal on request from ATLAS and 7.
• DAP Smart rocket does not hit the target that is locked onto so they had to use dumb rockets. Suggestion from the pilots: Next time maybe use AH-64 instead of DAP but hard limit RAIDER to only engage approved targets by an infidel.

Pros:

• Plenty of action.
• Good communication within the team when no technical difficulties.

Cons:

• Limited communication from platoon.
• Buddy aid needs improvement in platoon.
• When not in mutual aid, cannot give support.
• CCPs should only be set up in secure positions. Setting up in the tree line lead to unneccessary casualties when assaulting the town.
