I'd like to re-iterate a few things that were mentioned yesterday about the mission.
Solskipper's leading was very much what I would expect, and I did not envy his task. I would have "serialized" the objectives as well, therefore I would say that the briefing should mention that splitting up is an option, maybe by providing approximate enemy numbers via "recon" (Of course we could have done recon ourselves, but that generally takes too much time in the beginning of the mission where only the drone operator has work to do).
I had two major gripes with the mission:
I would recommend to drop the first two objectives and just go for the town. It will make the mission shorter by at least half an hour, and less frustrating if you get killed early on. Also, as I said above, give binocs and scopes to everyone on the MG team.

I had two major gripes with the mission:
- I felt it was too long. We took almost two hours. While this is hard to predict, my experience told me right at the beginning this was going to take a while. It was also basically four times the same objective (clear point X).
- The MG team which I was part of naturally is a support element that will stay in overwatch. For me, that meant I did not get anything to do during the entire mission. I had a CCO, and no binocs, so I could neither shoot anything, nor could I help with spotting targets. IMO everyone in the MG team should have binocs and a rifle scope.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
