Pros

• H60 was a resounding success.
• Fantastic comms.
• Fantastic teamwork.
• PACE plans were on point.

Cons

• ACRE issues crippled numerous elements. Broström.A refer to the below comments. The same issue happened again. I would recommend pulling a TS4 server log to examine what happened in closer detail.
• A ton of a air comms made delegating channels a must. It created a lag when crew had relay info.
• Communication issues in bird and out led to inability to confirm friendlies/enemies position
• CAS was Type 3 mostly
• Slow start

Personal Feedback

• Green smokes were used a lot.
• Blue smokes were used a lot.
• Yellow smoke wasn't used.
• Red smokes were confusing and should only be used by infidel.
• I had Infidel unknowingly push Bandit elements past a TRP that Bison's were cleared to fire beyond.

Element Callsign: Atlas 2

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

CPL.Cazarotti.V​

Pros:
Loving the fast rope stuff
HH-60 Pack
F-18's
Good teamwork with in Atlas 2
Decent amount of work to be done
Awesome work as always done by Alpha Company in their flights.

Cons:
ACRE once again failed and many people had issues
I was not able to speak to Atlas 1 or to Bandit 7 through whole Op
Major FPS issues should not be a issue in our Missions. It does not help keeping people coming to our Ops
Slight rushing of medics to finish treatment
Took almost a full 30 mins before we started loading into the birds needs to slim down

Element Callsign: Hornet Flight
Element Leader: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ryan Langlois

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Warrant Officer 1 Lucas Tyrcon
Specialist James Caliber
Specialist Lee Whitfield
Specialist Stefano Mariani


Pros:
Excellent numbers for the FTX
Hornet flight was tasked with taking out various types of targets (Anti-Air, Tanks, Infantry, Artillery)
Enemy was well hidden and it took Hornet flight awhile to find our targets
Lag was very brief and after said lag the server performed pretty well


Cons:
ACRE issues
Overwhelmed on comms with one Infidel managing rotary and fixed wing
Heavy laser use by fixed wing elements made it tough to locate a given laser (something we will work on)

Element Callsign: Bison-2
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Dread.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Specialist Hackel.B​

Pros:
Good chance to use multiple H-60 variants. Didn't experience any additional lag. Pilot coordination was on point.

Cons:
ACRE seems to be getting progressively worse
A ton of a air comms made delegating channels a must. It created a lag when crew had relay info.

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Sergeant Major Nexhex.A​

Warrant Officer 1 Ramirez.M​

Specialist Otakar.D​

Pros:

• Excellent teamwork within the Aircraft
• Situational awareness
• Communication
• Fast rope insertion worked very well with the H60 Modpack
• H60 performed very well in a populated operation

Cons:

• Issue with Aircraft landing on sloped surface causing it to look buggy to everyone except for the front seater crew
• ACRE issues caused confusion at certain times

Element Callsign: Bison-1
Element Leader: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Lindsay.A

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Lindsay.A
Specialist Green.M


Pros:
HH-60 pack was fun to use, but we need some more practice to nail it down better.
Good teamwork among numerous elements on ground and in air
Successful outcome
Great Charlie and Bravo Co. turnout

Cons:
ACRE issues led to communication problems - Spawning in with radios channels set causing issues?
Communication issues in bird and out led to inability to confirm friendlies/enemies position CAS was Type 3 mostly
Slow start
Infidel unknowingly had Bandit elements push past a TRP that Bison's were cleared to fire beyond
With this many elements maybe split CAS into 2 separate channels between FW and RW elements

Element Callsign: Buffalo-1
Element Leader: Chief Warrant Officer 5 Abbassi.G


7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Derry.B


Pros:
Buffalo and Bison flights coordinated well when inserting as well as other taskings

Cons:
Alot of comms chatter across multiple radios at some points
Would've liked the opportunity to test and push some of the extra features on the H-60 mod, as it was an A.Co FTX but seemed to be focused around Infantry.
