Pros:

• Solid Communication with INFIDEL-1 on LR12 & BUFFALO/GRIZZLY Flight on LR02

• Dealt with multiple ZSU-23's on tail-ends of Gun Runs
• Evaded & shot down MiG-29 with Guns
• Weapon Choice solid dependent on Target & other Considerations

Cons:

• Failed to update ISR Markers for stretches of time, unknown if it affected GUNSLINGER Plan/Situational Awareness
• Unable to wipe up Ambush Killzone due to SABRE clearing it up, then saw them get taken out in the end
• INFIDEL-1 had to switch between LR12 & LR14 on the same LR Radios
• x2 T-72 MBTs spawned in Objectives just as GUNSLINGER was pushing around 300m away...
• Multiple Public Players taking Air Assets, not on OPORD & failed to communicate on any Radios (LR 02/12/14)
• More snacks & less Sorry! next time

 

[LaCombe.M]

Abate.L Can you try and update your squads AAR? I know you weren't leading it, but since a Recruit led the squad, I don't expect him to post an AAR. If you need any help, just let myself or Storm.A know as platoon and we'll get you sorted.

• Building clearing went smoothly

Cons:

• Bad reaction to convoy ambush, vehicles stopping on the road

Posting on behalf of Emmer.A so apologies for brevity of feedback as I took no notes.

Pros:

• Good fun stated by troopers.
• Brilliant to see people stepping up for leadership who either have not done it before or do not usually do so.
• Varied enemy kept things exciting and engaging.
• Good spotreps allowed squad to understand were the enemy is.
• Utilised motorised assets as a force multiplier.

Cons:

• Slightly disorganised movement with squads overlapping each other and members becoming very close in proximity.
• More planning could of been made and executed in response to each objective.
• Convoy protocol not followed. Always push through contact and maintain position given in convoy.
