Element Callsign: CHAOS-1
Element Leader: Corporal Kastor.K

Pros

• Generally had fun, nice to do something different
• Good mission concept, unusual deployment and AO
• Love playing defensive missions that still allow us to give ground or counter, instead of having us stuck in one Alamo all day long
• Good effects on targets from EAGLE Flight
• Utilized 9-lines and kill zones / pilot authority despite radio issues
• Great initiative from Zeus to utilize a 5-gun off-shore artillery battery instead of CAS while the other Zeus was sorting comms out for EAGLE Flight, absolutely loved being FO and doing Call For Fire again
• Terrain (huge ass cranes with ladders and staircases) permitted me elevation and thus direct eyes on many of the targets

Cons

• Fraaaaaaames (too many pre-placed smoke stacks that Zeus was unable to remove during the game)
• Comms issues (both bugs and weird range/terrain attenuation, which could have been helped by radio towers - why were they not used?)
• Non-standard loadouts are fine for cosmetics, but if specialists like FAC are missing mission-critical gear without previous heads-up, it's a problem (I had a laser designator but no Vector, had a MicroDagr, but the wrong one that doesn't work with a Vector, as well as no S7 Android).
• 7Cav compositions were not used, resulting in issues and frustrations for CHAOS and EAGLE Flight
• Pacing at the very end, we got pushed from the East, but then ENDEX happened as I was in the middle of a 9-line, with still active targets

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-7
Element Leader: CPL.Eugene.R

Pros:

• Platoon Comms were decent could be improved.
• Lovely map and environment/era good change of pace.
• Buddy aid was amazing tonight, big improvement from previous ops.
• Mission was well designed and fun.
• Lot of medical for Atlas teams.
• Lot of contact for the platoon.

Cons:

• FPS was rough at beginning avg 9 frames but steady at 20-30 and later 40-50+ as we left the ship.
• Squads not providing grids when we don't have CTAB difficult to coordinate Atlas to positions without vital information.
• Medical permissions were missing for both Atlas teams and Gunslinger-7.

The framerate was definitely a factor during the first half hour to 45 minutes into the Op Had issues getting 6-lines from -7 due to the technological limitations
