My only feedback for now regards communications between the fireteams and command team:
Although there only were 4 players on the command net in TS there were some occasions in which the chatter was quite confusing because we were talking at the same time. Additionaly it did happen that team internal TS chat interfered with my talking on the command net. Therefor I suggest to use the command channel in TS a bit more like an actual radio instead of simply babbling away:
Prior to talking on the command net OR when being called by another unit on the command net:
- Inform your teammates in the same channel that you are about to talk on the command net so they won't talk at the same time and disturb you
Calling a unit on the command net:
- start with the callsign of the unit you want to call then state your own callsign and wait for a response (so the called unit can inform their teammates in the channel to be quiet)
After a conversation on the command net:
- Inform your teammates in the same channel that you finished talking as channel commander
This way the communications will be more effective and also more immersive.
I'd like to plan another mission for next Sunday. I was thinking of the mission with the BMPs on Nogova. Can't remember it's name right now but it would fit well and requires more all around awareness because of smart enemy counter attacks.
