Element Callsign: Sparrow-1
Element Leader: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Constantine Wulf


7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Matthew Dread

Pros:

• Fun mission, hectic, challenging.
• Had a great co-pilot that made my job easier.
• Good comms with infidel

Cons:

• Had ground lead on 14 call in attack when the infidel was doing the same thing and there was no coordination between them
• It was so bright out we couldn't see our tracers until with were within 100-200m of the target so our gun runs were less effective.
• Ground elements rushed into ambushes that they were warned about.
• Lag...but less than last time on this map.
