We (Charlie) started by scouting for targets from the tower and opened fire when we were spotted. When we came down we found Alpha heavily engaged in the courtyard with Russians in close range. When realizing that Alpha lead is dead, I took command over Alpha as well, requested minigun support from the Blackhawk and tried to follow the initial plan, of getting out from the castle's perimeter to the north east. The resistance at the north eastern exit was so intense that I decided to exit from a different angle, which proved itself. When exiting from the north we had the blackhawk suppressing the enemies that attacked us and we boarded safely and extracted while laying down suppressive fire on the guys that attacked us at the north eastern way. And then I lost my memory .

In other words, when we play infantry we usually try to take it slow and play tactical, but in airial vehicles things sometimes get a little... Michael Bay-ish.That. 80% of our gunship losses is a result of charging the enemy and getting too close. My mistake regarding the AH-64 was that I didn't ask it to take out the Blackhawk wreckage first thing. We paid dearly for that overlook...Next time (and oh there is going to be a next time!) the Apache will keep its distance and use Hellfire missiles against the wreckage and the BMPs and move in close only when the BMP threat is removed.

Great job Unnamed using the UAV, that was really an even breaker in that mission. Also great job everybody, and especially Den and SPhoenix that had to put up with my impatience and wanting to get things going quickly!
