Pros

• Had a blast taking out enemy artillery

Private Walden.M


Pros

• Much fun was had with the HQ element I led, even though I was in my maps more than in the fight
• Contested beach landing was obnoxiously difficult, could be an inspiration to a Steven Spielberg war flick in the future. Like a behind the lines rescue of some beleaguered Paratrooper.
• Plenty of room to maneuver once beachhead was established. Never felt funneled by the flow of the OBJs and terrain.

Cons

• Tankers and Aviators were out of the fight in their MOS for the first 30-60 minutes.
  • Recommendation: Incorporate similar means until the "unlock" - Like armed LAVs for tankers, have unarmed recon flights for aviators until ATK Aviation is available.
• Staging / RSOI was longer than required
  • Recommendation: Instead of using the small interior of the LHD (Carrier asset in game), set up a large platform on the water on the far side (not ENY side) of the LHD where everyone can stand and organize themselves.
  • This also enables the initial wave to be free from traffic congestion.
• Respawning vics in the LHD did not line up with respawning PAX. Double an issue for an event which features a high mortality rate at the same OBJ.
  • Recommendation: At the mentioned artificial platform, have a large motorpool of vics for successive waves.
