Well we got our assess handed to us. I don't know how we failed to spot all those vehicles (two or three Ifrits and an AA tank) when we observed the town from afar, from two angles (actually from the air too). Maybe they spawned when we got close?
I am still not sure how I exactly kicked my proverbial bucket in that mission. All of a sudden I died, in spite of being fully behind a solid stone wall. When the dust settled, I saw the wall topple over, but that was after I got shot. No idea what happened.
Quote:One comment - The Ghosthawk was ordered to wait until we need it, which lead to Valhalian, the pilot, to just stay put far from the action throughout the whole mission. That chopper could have been used used for reconnaissance just like the LB and even if it couldn't, holding a player to wait for such a long time (I would define long time as about 15 minutes and more) is something leaders should avoid, even if it is the right thing to do tactically. Gameplay comes first.
Actually, that wasn't what I said. I told Valhalian to keep his distance from the tiown to stay out of machine gun fire but try to spot targets. More I could not do, since he didn't have door gunners he wouldn't gain anything from getting closer.
The Littlebird has better chances over the town because of its mobility. The Ghost Hawk was better off scouting from the distance.

That was another good try! I swear these AI can see our mines and claymores and are able to avoid them.
It would make sense if they had an engineer with them.
Quote:Otherwise I can't explain how they didn't blow up on them in all these attempts when we kept placing the mines on different areas. Alwarren's team saved my ass on that hill after Maverick died, that's for sure. I think we did good on the assault on the terminal but there were just too many of them. Good job Etzu on killing all those AAF with your pistol, we should call you Wyatt Earp!
Also good shooting by Knight, a few reflex shots that really connected.
The assault itself, I don't know but the plan seemed to be good at that time, at least I thought so. Two teams, using the roadside ditch as cover... I can't really say why I was shot.

Our disengagement battle was also glorious. These NATO guys really fight well and they had the upper hand. We shouldn't have assaulted that ammo depot without getting some AT's first. Once we saw that Hunter MG there we should have quietly pull back, find a patrol with AT to ambush and get back there with more punch.
Unfortunately I misjudged the distance to the hunter and missed it by maybe 10 centimeters. I was also still exhausted since I had to crawl forwards to avoid getting shot. Which really annoyed the fuck out of me, because usually I am really good with the RPG-42 (See "Hack'n'Slash video, or one time where I hit a driving BTR-K at 600 meters range with the thing. Blergh).
Crawling along that wall was... intense. I just heard the bullets crack and the impacts on top of me, that was piss-inducing scary. Unfortunately, it also proved quite deadly because one I crawled towards the edge of the narrow ditch I immediately got shot.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
