Pros:
Fixed Wing: There was no Lag. (Previously Users had reported bits of Lag on the Marianas Map)
Fixed Wing: Mission was somewhat fun.
Rotary: Good amount of contacts. Although some were nested in trees. (This makes it near impossible to kill them)
Rotary: No apaches were lost.

Cons:
Fixed Wing: Tankers were in a constant bank
There were times where there were insufficient airframes performing CAP
F14s were unable to spawn into airframes. This was fixed by removing/readding their slots. After doing this, stored aligned was not re-enabled.

Additional Notes:
There should be no one sitting with the OIC during the course of the mission.
Limited the transfer of sensitive information to flights.
Flights should leverage sensors/datalink/awacs(via ai or lotatc) for information.
We should no longer have Pilots being vectored into targets by command.
This can be and should be handled via the awacs.

Additional Cons:

• Garbage Mission
• Addition of Human Redfor who used IR Tactics
• Commander had connection issues
• Zero AWACs
• Cap could not get off the ground
• Cap was not on comms with vulnerable strikers
• Some pilots claim they were not sufficiently warned of human red air.
