Pros:
Communication was well done at the squad and command comms, although designators got muddled.

Some server lag

---- NOTE ----
This was a first attempt at a Squad based ZUES mission, with many participants from other departments brand new to the game.

Pros:

• Everyone gave their full attention and respect to the mission making it a strong first attempt at a Zeus mission
• Having a variety of assets mixed in our first mission e.g. CAS elements, Buffalo transport and Bradley support all together is an awesome mix
• Pilots gave their best effort to the CAS communication despite difficulties with visibility and lack of markings

Cons:

• Fire support was occasionally off target and resulted in blue-on-blue, CHAOS was not very vigilant on marking targets due to being new to Squad and being a guest to this AO
• Night OP was perhaps an over-reaching goal for a first mission, BUT was intense and enjoyable nonetheless
• Confusion on leaders net with callsigns debating using ingame squad numbers, or pre-assigned callsigns according to OPORD

Pros

• Was incredibly immersive, the night-time was really great.
• Really good job by mission makers in placing believable contact and managing the performance of the mission.
• Squads did really great on their individual actions.
• Chaos and airframes worked great together.
• Really great working with guys from other AOs and the Squad guys. Thank you for letting me come along and lead this!

Cons

• Been a while since I've played, so difficult to communicate information via marks etc. I think not being an 'in-game' commander contributed to this
• Buffalo got downed a lot due to close-in LZ placements. My mistake.
• Sometimes comms was difficult with infantry elements, most of the time it was great.
• I joined in slightly 10 minutes or so late due to mod issues. Apologies for the slow-down at the start
• Less foot movements to reduce downtime. A planning mistake from my part.

Lessons Learnt

• Stick to in-game numerals to reduce communication problems for comms and marks
• If unconscious, do we stop talking? Clarification needed.
• Commanders need 3x pax in squad to enable, should they be integrated in a squad?
• Mission pace was way slower vs Arma PvE standard, can design more dialled-in missions.

• night time was fun all around
• good amount of contact for banshee for the op

Cons

• DX11 or 12 issues for aviation
• crashing at spawn to invis walls
• server lag from bots remaining
• blue on blue from cas
• hard to do chaos with no sops
• had to stop using callsigns to save confusion with mismatched numpad keys
• clarify at pve events if dont talk while dead
• lots of downtime in between contacts
• contact or firefights were short
• resupply and reinserts as well as talking while dead for future ops
• slow start overall to the op
• possible logi and fob once an obj is taken
• more planning for vehicle repair and resupply
• more inaccuracy shorter engagement distance (80% or higher for near-peer, 95%+ for insurgents)
