Pros:

• Squad cohesion was superb throughout.
• Good fun in an intense and constant environment.
• Brilliant operation parameters and objective setup. Loved seeing Lingor back in the mix.
• Top work from all air assets throughout.
• Relished challenging environment and had to work hard to achieve goals.
• New COI was implemented.
• Fantastic buddy aid throughout which kept the entire squad alive and combat effective for duration.
• Well done Dujakovic.R in the VIKING-5 role and managing to overcome mission and mod difficulties.

Cons:

• Due to small groundforce presence the platoon was never able to mutually support each other properly in the AO.
• Overall lack of ISR and inital recon. We came up against an entire static line which could of been easily identified and marked so planning could be flexed accordingly.
• Killed the HVT that did not fit initial description.
• Scope of operation was planned for x4 VIKING squads and because of this the scope became slightly overwhelming.
• Unable to sustain full momentum and tactical movement. Advance through the next set of buildings and immediately become bogged down.
• Lost 6 early which caused a slight slow down of orders.
• ACRE issues. Despite taking radios from crates and not spawning we still had massive comm issues perhaps due to scripting.
• We could possibly look at maintaining the KP menu option to allow all players to flex drawing distances, for frames, in built up areas of the map.

Pros:

• Great team to work with
• Great comms within the squad and with 7
• Tons of work for medics 30+ complex surgeries
• Great response time with a single team covering the whole AO
• 0 Black tags when patients made it to Atlas care

Element Callsign: GUNSLINGER-7
Element Leader: Specialist Winters.R

Pros:

• A ton of medical of all types for both GUNSLINGER-7 and ATLAS personelle
• Terrific communications between ATLAS team and GUN-7
• Good response time for calls
• ATLAS-1 went above and beyond with being just 1 team responding to so many calls. Especially keeping VIKING-2 alive while having to provide security themselves
• Platoon net with 5/6 made it clear where they wanted ATLAS to generally be

Cons:

• Frame rate issues
• ACRE issues
• ATLAS team was tasked to capacity so some calls had to be delayed due to the sheer volume of calls and casualities. A second team would have helped a lot
• Convoy spacing was too close. Near accident happened that could have made a lot of problems
• Lack of security at CCP with mass causality event as well as other times during treatments sometimes

Pros

• Excellent progress considering the high contact levels 2x BLUFOR Squads vs 2x OPFOR Companies (with chunky armour)
• Excellent work and versatility from a singular Atlas team
• Excellent work from VIKING-2 orienting and engaging onto contact. Quick and efficient clearing
• Philips was awesome Sierra multi-crew, excellent fire team leaders in Westcott and Armitage
• Decent Communication internally in the squad
• Excellent work from mission maker providing constant contact

Cons

• Planning felt like it could have been concentrated on important areas, rather than covering the entire AO. There was too much hard clearing in the AO
• Some ACRE issues, Yelling on radio
• A little chaotic after 6 left. 5 Took up the reigns exceptionally well after the initial stumble.
• HVT taken down
• Initial contact in the southwest sector Cafe Rincon. It was a really good addition to the operation but felt like too much and a bit of an appendix given the scale of the operation.
• Entry to the FOB was where VIKING-2 got stuck. Everything snowballed from there.
• Lack of ISR - VIKING are also Cav Scouts and can fulfil this role if accounted for in planning.

Non Cav

Pros:

• Comms were bad first but got better over the entire mission, which is a really positive thing because it means air assets were actively working on improving and getting better
• Fantastic strikes, no blue on blue, really great CAS work by Raider and HOG
• Quick CSAR by buffalo
• Beiter.A absolutely killing it for the 6th time this week somehow -- awesome mission by an awesome mission maker

Cons:

• Little bit of a disrespect toward leadership and on radio, important to remember that everyone's doing their best and to not let frustration become hostility especially during an operation
• Frames :'(
