Element Callsign: Misfit-1

Second Lieutenant Searle.I
Corporal Easson.T
Corporal Kent.R
Corporal Fox.Z
Specialist Almaguer.R
Specialist Beta.P
Specialist Calafiore.N

Non-Cav:
RET.Houston.T

Pros:

• Fantastic operation concept and execution, and excellent handling of the server crash by S3, very fun overall and very well received by all Misfit-1 members.
• Movement and communications ON EVERY LEVEL were absolutely amazing tonight. SL's bounding coverages between WP's and RP"s really used the terrain to our advantage.
• The intensity and aggression of the final objective put the ENTIRE SQUAD in the zone, everyone had this OP at or near the top of their list for enjoyment and immersion.
• Very immersive Insert and Extract flights via Buffalo, flying through the valleys was excellent.

Cons:

• Accidental pop of Purple smoke during ODA crossing on OBJ 2.
• Very long reinsert time (30 mins) for a couple disconnected players

COMBAT AFTER ACTION REPORT​

Element Callsign: BUFFALO-1
Element Leader: SPC. Spin.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
BUFFALO 2/3
SPC. Alexander.P
WO.1 Hamm.C
2LT Highman.J
WO.1 Spitnale.K

Pros:

• Long flight times making for more flying, planning, and NOE flying which is always a good time
• AA threats made NOE and speed important!
• BUFF had successful CSAR missions for a BUFF and a RAIDER
• Great flight comms and comms relays between aircraft
• Great flying as a BUFFALO flight, flight comms, and flight planning
• Overall a great time and solid mission from S3 and the Zeus

Cons:

• After inserts, AA and/or AAA spawned in along the insert route in (could have moved from another locations, but seemed a bit off)
• On the previous note one BUFFALO went down due to the aforementioned, but it happens when theres AA threats
• TFAR caused minor issues getting in comms with 5 for a small portion of the mission (realism was nice, but it would be nice to have some sort of friendly comms relay location and/or a friendly C-2/E-3 aircraft in the air as a forward C2/relay node which could also serve as a secondary objective for fixed wing aircraft as needing CAP to protect it).
• Server crash, but it happens
• Aviators do not spawn in with backpack radios which is important in the event an aircraft goes down and the in aircraft radios are not useable, would be nice to have those from the start

 

[Corbin.R]

Element Callsign: MISFIT-5
Element Leader: Warrant Officer 1 Corbin.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Warrant Officer 1 Corbin.R

Pros:

• Excellent communication with Buffalo, even though we were out of contact for some time due to the terrain. Eventually, Raider was able to pass messages along to Buffalo.
• Excellent execution by all elements!
• Enjoyed having the opportunity to run 5 again and help coordinate Misfit Platoon.
• Misfit-4 really hammered some vehicles with MAAWS.
• Good saturation in the AO and had lots of fun!

Cons:

• Server issues
• Not having enough pilots (mind you, I wouldn't say this could necessarily be fixed you can only do so much).

 

[Eugene.R]

Element Callsign: Atlas-1
Element Leader: SPC.Eugene.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
CPL.Velasquez.J


Non-Cav Personnel:
ExpendableJoe


Pros:

• Good comms with Misfit-7 and Atlas-2.
• Medical work towards the end was good, decent amount to do.

Cons:

• Server crash from apparently what was stated ram capping out. (Preventable if servers are checked every 3 months to prevent it from capping out.)
• Individual trooper discipline within Atlas-1 squad not listening to Team Leader/Comms & doing their own thing rather than staying together. (Very annoying)
• Had to wait an entire hour to get to the AOI due to lack of pilots & Airframes all for server to crash.
