Well for starters, we had an AI driver, which was... pretty horrible. Secondly, and this isn't specific to this mission but something I notice every time, communication within a tank is very bad. I did not get any contact report from the gunner, although there were plenty of contacts visible on the hillside. It's just that every time I am a tank commander, I get the impression that my crew doesn't say anything; when I am the driver, my commander tells me to go to a specific point even though I have no GPS and would expect the commander to do the navigation. It's just that I generally feel things aren't working smoothly in vehicles. Maybe it's me.

Might have been me. I had three AT rockets and one HE for my RPG-42, and they were all hits. I took out at least a truck and the lead vehicle (couldn't say what it was, bad visibility, just saw that it moved), The last APC I hit once but with an HE and that didn't really do much.
Quote:Alias wanted to have Charlie split so not all engineers will be in the same vehicle, and that's a good idea.
Yeah, I agree, but that would mean splitting up Charlie. As far as I could see, all the teams were somehow chopped up.
Quote:Can we somehow put into use BIS End Game's group management feature so we could change the initial structure of the teams?
I'll have a look. I don't know how that is used, I don't think it's a module but it might work with a few function calls.
Quote:The problem is, that we didn't really ascertain the targets are on the northern part of the base until we had gotten closer. Of course, we knew where they were from previous attempt but telling Alias that we better go to an overwatch over the northern part of the FARP would have been too cheaty... At least that's how I felt.
Well we were quite sure that they weren't on the south side, so that might have meant north, or east side. In any case, the northern route would have been preferrable IMO, especially with the Strider GMG covering the southern flank.
Of course we didn't know what was on the northern flank, which I would propose to have a second team scout the northern side in such a case, since it is a pretty hilly terrain and no position can get full overview.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
