Guys please keep mission editing reviews and comments to the mission's releases threads, that's what they are for and we don't want to send our mission makers reading two threads to fix their missions. Maverick please cut your review of Rolling over Christmas to Phantom's mission thread.
The mistake I made was to get too close to the enemy Humvees. We could have conveniently launch RPGs on them from the first line of stone fence and didn't have to get to the closer one. We might had missed an RPG on two but definitely cut them to pieces without them detecting us while half of the team was in the open.
Other than that, we did great on this mission. Shining moments - Freeman detects enemies on our right flank and saves us all from certain death. Team Blue (Misha's team, or was it Red) taking out the marines that came to investigate where that Metis was fired from. Closing on the church and nading the guys that found themselves trapped within the church premises, along with some very nice shooting ans suppressing units which tried to counter attack. I like this mission. Just let me know if you've had enough of it next time I select it
Guys that addon Maverick mentions is called slx_anim_steeplying.pbo and you can get it from channel Alpha on Teamspeak. It's in the "Recommended Addons and Plugins" folder. It will eliminate auto-stand when crawling in the vicinity of rocks.
Lesson learned - Even if the road is masked with bushes, don't attempt to take concealment by the road. the damn AI will see you through it. That's what happened to me as I was waiting for them to pass and shoot RPG up their ass. The BTR detected me and opened fire. I managed to hit it once and died right after.
