Pros

• Round 2 Improvement: Noticeable improvement in communication and coordination compared to Round 1
• Squad Morale: Multiple troopers expressed strong motivation and enjoyment
• SL Leadership: SLs and team leads adapted and rallied well in the second half
• Teamwork: Despite difficulty, most stayed engaged and pushed through
• Enthusiasm for the Cav: Troopers remain proud and positive about being in the Cav

Cons

• Round 1 Performance: Poor coordination and execution in the first round
• Comms Discipline: Multiple reports of weak or inconsistent communication
• 3D Marking & Callouts: Need better clarity and frequency of enemy spotting
• Flanking Awareness: We were repeatedly flanked due to lack of overwatch and rear security
• Spatial Awareness: Some felt positioning was too clustered, making maneuvering difficult
• HAB Camping: Spawn points were camped or poorly defended at times
• Medic Support: Medics struggled without proper cover or support from fireteams

Pros

• Really enjoyed this game mode. Felt more tactical, realistic, and challenging having an objective to destroy.
• Communication all around was abundant and effective. Teams relayed information about enemy vehicle and infantry locations quickly enabling us to attack accordingly. Drone use was a huge help to this!
• Our team did well at placing rallies/radios where we saw fit to attack from a different angle.
• Our medics did a great job keeping everyone up and immediately attending to those that went down.

Cons

• None
