It was definitely a mistake to give Bravo a green like to move in before Alpha was in position too. For some reason or none whatsoever I thought it's just a matter of time before the trucks flee so I preferred having one team attacking than no team at all, while Alpha strolled slowly in the river.
A mistake in my judgement that cost us the mission.
Tanks
I should have been clearer on the last phase of the attack on the base and ordered the tank platoon to only fire on infantry carrying ATs, and stay far from the base. However, if you are operating a tank, and there are other friendly infantry squads l, be mindful and limited when using your weapons, leaving no targets for the infantry is always an issues in Arma coop. Communicate about that with the mission commander to remove any doubt.
Missing in Action
I flew the gunship with Varanon. After the first touchdown of the transport LB, I was sure there are no more friendlies on-site and switched over to mop-up mode. I could have easily fired on the remaining friendlies and only luck and a blinded with blood copilot prevented that. That should have been communicated better. In addition, ground teams must be in constant radio contact with their CAS asset, reporting enemy contact, requesting specific runs on threatening enemy targets and providing BDA. Instead, there was complete silence. If no targets are available, periodically notify the pilot that there are non.
