Pros:
  • Everyone had fun!
  • Good inter squad communications.
  • Fire team to fire team coms were excellent.
  • Viking-1 were excellent for clearing out the objectives today, we were fast and effective in the first objective

Cons:
  • Objective two was good, but we had a HUGE lane to clear as one squad, it was tough to clear all of it effectively with a 9-man squad.
  • Some platoon coms were stepped on.
  • Don't shoot enemy aircraft with LAW's

Element Callsign: Banshee - 2
Element Leader: SPC.Zaren.T
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: CPL.Dread.M, SPC.Zaren.T


Pros:
  • Good plan with phase lines, LRP/CCP, route planning, etc.
  • Good Support from Helios and placements of LRPs, saved us on several occasions.
  • Lots of contact was made and good cross-talk ment that lots of helicopters, APCs, Motorised, and infantry were destroyed.
  • Good teamwork, communication, and formations between the Banshees and the infantry.
  • Good contact and a good time in general.



Cons:
  • Render distance made SBF hard.
  • Viewports for the driver were non-functional, which ended up driver having to stay outside in the end, getting a KIA.
  • I myself feel I have to work on correct vehicle commands and how to better operate the vehicles.

Element Callsign: Bison-1

Element Leader: Corporal Cade.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Private Richardson.JD


Pros:

  • Great communication with Gun-6R, Good leadership/combat elements.
  • Happy to see integration with Helios setting up a FOB for Bison to assist in our resupplies, even though they didn't have much combat time, they played a very substantial role in resupply efforts for both Bison and other elements.
  • Overall, a great operation in my view, loved every second of it and there was very minimal server lag on my part which is perfect.

Cons:
  • Personally, could work on HE Rocket aiming and leading on moving targets, but no cons in terms of the operation.

Pros:
  • trooper echoing orders well
  • CQB was on point - good alternation between fireteams, good movement through buildings, good fireteam prox comms
  • leadership comms solid
  • good use of formations like squad line, fireteam wedge
  • good movement to contact for phase 1, fireteams covering each other
  • Fun to have two large distinct objectives
Cons:
  • some confliction between viking 1 and viking 2 during breach of phase 1 - l shaped breach made overlap likely
  • troopers tended to stay tight in formations - opening up past 10 meters would be better
  • squad lost momentum when SL and Bravo TL were KIA during phase one breach - we had 2Ics but there was a stall in the pickup
  • We (Viking-2) were behind in terms of tempo/pacing for Phase 1 - that's on me as SL
  • OBJ 2 felt pretty big for the personnel we had available - we did have enemies circle behind us as a result of not being able to effectively cover the full width of our lane

Pros:
  • Good OPORD
  • Had fun on the advance.
  • Good work by GMs to get section members teleported to correct location.

Cons:
  • More enemy on the flanks.
  • Over all lack of direction due to the adhoc nature of the section (public players).
  • It can be difficult to coordinate with players who come and go in this open public section.

Element Callsign: VIKING-6

Element Leader: First Lieutenant Molitor.K

Pros:

  • Very appreciative of all the support from the Leaders. Really tight communications throughout the evening.
  • Infantry movements were good, if a bit slow at times.
  • Folks dealt with tasking well, even when ridiculous.
  • Appreciate S3's support throughout the Op helping fill in gaps to keep the pace up.
  • Enjoyed the large objectives to wrap up a campaign.

Cons:
  • Personal improve, could definitely find ways to speed up planned consolidation. Spent about 35 mins not doing much with the Platoon.
  • Personal improve, when selecting the Banshee SBF position I did not account for render distance which led to them being ineffective for a bit.
  • Construction truck for Helios if they can field multiple truck types instead of the arsenal.
  • Would like to see actual slots for Helios teams to get an idea of what tasking might be feasible.
