BAF Multiple Factors:
I think that one went south because of two things. I was the leader of the team that was supposed to take out the D-30's. Simon was the sniper. Two mistakes were made:
1) I ordered "Weapons Free" before the sniper shot. That caused the gun to turn towards us. This is the main reason why it failed.
2) The sniper was overconfident he could snipe the gunner.
In the future, if someone says he is confident to take the shot, please bear in mind that the position of the gunner might change. Even if I hadn't made the mistake of ordering "Weapons free" too early, the first shot might have missed and the gunner might have turned anyway, so please take this into account when you say you are sure you can hit the guy, especially since the first-shot success was doubtful without a proper range measurement.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
