Element Callsign: Riptide-5
Element Leader: Sergeant First Class Westcott.R

Pros:
  • HALO drop went well! 2 separate chalks is always a challenge and we pulled it off.
  • Excellent use of Combat Patrols to scout the AO while airlifting in vehicles. OIC concept of how to pull this off actually worked!
  • Excellent individual actions during casualty scenarios, fantastic flexibility by the -7 team and their coordination with the corpsmen.
  • Solid Sitreps/Spotreps/ACE reports when applicable.
  • Killer job by all Pilots! Great work adapting to the Ospreys, flexing to the Chinook for airdrops (which were all on point!), then back to Ospreys for ISR and support and exfil!
Cons:
  • If we don't train on grenade dropping drones then we shouldn't be using them for OPFOR in an OP.
  • Server/frame issues that I will be investigating.
  • I overheard more than 3 "Bad Frag" calls. Yeah it's our first OP back from furlough but we need to get that under control.

Element Callsign: RIPTIDE-7
Element Leader: Sergeant Blake.H

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Holiday.T

PROS:
  • Squad corpsman seemed to handle themselves well even with reduced equipment from what the medics are used to
  • Nice to do themed operations
  • Good buddy work with Attached Surgeon

Cons:
  • Not many taskings for RIPTIDE-7 (as expected)
  • Blood Transfusion kits are kinda lame when used on their own, though would be a good idea if used to suppliment lower ammounts of carried whole blood.
  • Server performance
  • Briefing screens were horrendously laggy on spawning in
  • Did not hear of WHISKEY-1's mass cas in time resulting in a full wipe bar one survivor
  • Too many coms on side chat that were not 'zues issues'
  • Trooper taking a dump during the jump brief
  • Jump soundoff was difficult due to disconnects.
