Pros

• Good Spacing.
• Good Communication between the group.
• Wolfe was top medic
• very realistic gameplay!
• Great Attendance
• No real server issues
• Great Concept

Cons

• The bots once they go into vehicles or weapon systems, their balancing does change to a different parameter. This is uncontrollable and feels like they become 0% inaccuracy / no limiting draw distance.
• communication to command did seem cluttered at times.
• Few issues with PID of targets, however I believe my section did not kill any civilians.
• Some of the MATV's got blood thirsty and pushed recklessly while being told to hold back and act as a base of fire.
