Pros:
  • Fun match overall
  • Excellent on the fly planning
  • All squads seemed to catch a groove and played well together.
Cons:
  • New map always comes with performance issues
  • Initial jump to center point seemed to have been very disorganized. Took us a while to get momentum and secure the point and resecure after losing.
  • Many squads seemed to have troopers out of position and or advancing before anything is secured.

Element Callsign: Allied SPA and Lead Tank Commander - "Cheap and Easy"
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Sotelo.R
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Sotelo.R
Sergeant Allen.R
Private First Class Pavlovec.J

Pros:
  • Even with the rough start, armor platoon turned around and really locked in on supporting the infantry holds by the end
  • SPA tactics seemed to have worked well, managing 13 kills and 3 OPs takedowns before transitioning to a T-34
  • Command comms very clear, very calm, very nice
  • Russian win, baby!
Cons:
  • Couple team kills during SPA, mainly on my part due to not communicating fire missions to rest of team
  • Server performance saw some moments rubber banding

Element Callsign: Axis Baker Squad

Second Lieutenant DAmico.J

First Lieutenant Swanson.B

Specialist Seymour.B
Private First Class Ingram.M

Pros:
  • Fun to play a mostly vanilla operation
  • Great turnout and pretty smooth briefing and rollcall in the beginning. Well organized and smooth.
Cons:
  • The Axis had a critical collapse on defense at the 47 min mark that put us on the backfoot from that point onward. We had no recourse to defend, keep garrisons up, or reposition.
  • I wish we had placed more garrisons as the game went on. Too many redzone garrisons, and no front line garrisons. The whole team attacked like lemmings going over the cliff, diving over the edge over and over again.
  • New map was pretty laggy, and lots of frame rate drops.

Specialist Walton.D
Private Miller.H


Pros:
  • Gameplan did not go off without a hitch however, leadership held their head together and generated an offensive lanes of pressure and maintained pressure
  • in that regard command comms were serene compared to how they can get sometimes when the plan fails to go
  • Squad performed fantastic - executed required functions as soon as requested
  • defensive actions were quick from the guys and on multiple occasions saved edge-line cases of the mid-point flipping once it was captured.
Cons:
  • can be a bit grindy but i think that is the point of the map very claustrophobic - secondary objectives are fun
  • not a lot else here good times
  • SPA tanks are mixed and could use some more practice with the combined arms to figure them out

Pros:
  • Great operation to end the year on
  • Excellent comms within squad
  • We were able to complete our mission and flex around as needed
  • Amazing work finding enemy garrisons and destroying armor
  • Was fun working with the SPA giving them fire missions
Cons:
  • Command comms were a little much at times making it hard to communicate effectively with my squad. Many pings were not marked because everyone was getting drown out.

Pros:
  • Team had a lot of momentum first half of the match.
  • Crew enjoyed access to supplies & being able to put down repair stations.
  • Great coordination between Axis tankers. Executed flank & focus on enemy tanks.
Cons:
  • Struggled to regain momentum and map control in the second half of the match.
  • Major lag issues for the crew. Affected both the driver and gunner's abilities to perform their duties.
  • Crew did not like the map itself. Tanks felt very funneled in to certain lanes.

Element Leader: Sergeant Belmont.E
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Major Argentini.E


Pros:
  • Great work as recon, movement and OP placement allowed us to be highly effective and take out a total of 12 Garrisons.
  • Good communication in leadership; shout-out to Corporal Jinto.H working with us to take out an Axis SPA.
  • Good operation structure, appreciated that it ensured an extended game and the limited restrictions. Enjoyed the new map.
Cons:
  • Server stability and rubber-banding was rough at times
Critique for the Axis: Daisy-chaining off of garrisons and outpost patterns gave away many garrison positions.
