Pros

• Had fun using AT, blowing up tanks and other vehicles
• Worked well as a mech. infantry unit. Did a great job moving/working alongside armor
• Used one vehicle the entire match. Used coordination to fall back to repair stations when needed.
• Good communications with other squads to know where we needed to be.

Cons

• Had minor setbacks with logistics within our squad, AT guys needed ammo quite often
• Maintaining grouping within fireteams, spread out at times.
• Our squad had to scramble at times to change objective but recovered well when tasked with new things.

Pros

• Great Op. Very fun.
• OIC appointed last minute and he did a great job (thank you Moe). The chaos of no prep was a huge positive. We all had to adapt on the fly. Challenging in a good way.
• Objectives (primary and secondary) were great.
• Team comms + cohesion very strong. Everyone left feeling positive.

Cons

• Some lag / crash issues. No worse than anyone else.
