Oh how much I love blowing up stuff... That was a great mission. Good job everyone.
I want to stress out one point that repeated itself several times over the past month under different leaders. If you are threatened, shoot, even if that means revealing yourself. If you are threatened, shoot, even if that means firing on an unaware enemy. That goes to leaders but also for individual soldiers. We die more because someone is waiting for permission to fire than someone shoots prematurely. I trust the people that play on coop nights to use their judgement on cases like this. For example, if there's an enemy vehicle that is approaching your position and there's a good chance that it will spot you, take it out before it detects you, even if there's a chance that it will not notice you. The threat in such a case is too big for us to take the chance.
If you watch Gwyn's video starting from 0:59, you'll see that Bravo team is proned right on the road, and an enemy BTR is patrolling on it. The risk of being detected is too high in this case, the enemy should have been taken out at the point that it was clear that it's going to pass dangerously close to the team. In this case, I was on the other side of the road with Alpha, it took me some time to realize what's about to happen and I took the shot immediately when I saw that the BTR has turned off its lights (indication for its AI crew switching to combat mode, which means they have detected Alpha). If Alpha wasn't in a firing position, Bravo could have been wiped out.

That was cool flying the Blackfoot, great job Unnamed for gunning it. I think I managed to finally have a correct setup for my thrust control.

I really look forward to playing this again, We got there right on time and it was so cool seeing the AAF soldiers so concentrated on Bravo while we snuck up on them from their rear. Now THAT's a great setup for a mission! I don't know if that's how you'd imagine it unfold Varanon, but it was a perfect Arma moment! Good job Bravo on stopping the convoy.

That's a good idea, but if we want to use that effectively we need to have all lasers turned off except those pointing at an enemy concentration.

Too bad the truck swerved to the side when my missile was on it's way to the enemy APC... it literally caught the bullet of the APC...Could you tell what happened there after I fell asleep?
The revive script is total bollocks, though.. six different steps to bring someone up again... not even ACE was that convoluted. And blood transfusions in the field... right...

And when I say very well camouflaged, I mean "almost impossible to spot even on spectating mode". I had to use that thermal view while spectating to spot them!
