Pros

• Really enjoyed the OP. Comms were effective, doing flank manuevers was pristine and no casualties in Hammer 2 unless it was from a reset.

Cons

• Only issue was the mis approach with the markers being down.

Pros

• Fun Op
• Good Comms
• Team operated well in a chaotic environment.
• 2 of 3 guests enjoyed the format.
• In game briefing was great.

Cons

• 1 of 3 guests did not enjoy the format (too complex).
• We may want to consider a 15 / 30 minute "Pre-Operation Bootcamp" for guests.
• We would benefit from figuring out comms during staging and hotwash phases.

cohesive storm (technical issues)

Pros

• Very in-depth realism, fitting the definition of a milsim unit to a "t".
• Chaotic and ambitious at the same time.
• Harder than expected, but in a good way.

Cons

• Fog was annoying, especially in buildings, troopers also complained it left afterimages in their optics.
• Some troopers were not happy with the in-depth realism of the Operation.

Pros

• Everyone had fun.
• Good comms, good spacing, good callouts.
• FTLs did a great job managing their fireteams, appreciated by both troopers and SL.
• Insertion and transport via RHIBs was fun and immersive.
• In-game briefing was awesome.
• Adjustments were made by mission controllers on the fly that made for a better experience.

Cons

• Staging: typically are told to create squads in order of callsigns, but Hammer 1 was Squad 5, other squads were mis-named/numbered.
• Map markers and hud elements removed w/o training cranks the difficulty up.
• A lot of running, not enough action.
• All squads converge on the same objective were in each other's way, cluttering comms and adding to chaos
• In-game hotwash prematurely interrupted. Unfortunate, considering how much emphasis has been put on it in recent weeks.
• Not for everyone. 'Polarizing' may be a good way to put it.
