Mission Summary:
During previous operations, Redfor has consistently utilized it's ability to mass produce armored vehicles to impair Bluefor's ability to retake areas.
Today's mission was a response to this. We received Intel on 3 potential factory locations. And have received authority to initiate a small mission to perform recon on those locations. After the factory location is confirmed, Helicopter pilots will coordinate with pilots in the area to initiate a full attack on the factory location.

Pros:

• Comms were great.
• Helicopter/Fighter Pilots coordinated very well with each other. Often using buddy lasing to find, engage and destroy targets
• Cloud cover obscured the target area, which resulted in the fighter pilots having to approach the situation creatively.
• The sparse information, that was initially provided had to be developed and then shared with other pilots via comms. This was generally well received.

Cons:

• Lack of a simple opord.
• Weather conditions were well received by some, while others are still on the fence.
• There were some performance issues reported by pilots who had to fly low to the ground. (This may be a result of civilian traffic and grass settings)
• Sparse targets for CAP pilots to engage.
• Change Distant Airports (Not currently occupied by bluefor, to be owned either by redfor or the neutral faction.
