it's been a while since I wrote a debriefing, i guess i should try to change that (especially since I now have permanent access to a PC at work ^^).

unfortunately etzu dropped in the beginning so besides dropping off troops in the beginning of the mission there was not much to do for me for a while so I used the time to practice hovering a bit (I don't like autohover and there is that deadzone in the center of my joystick). After the other chopper was empty Alwarren joined me on my chopper and I got to fly some CAS, which mainly consisted of hovering since there were no real AA thread ( there was that one AV shooting us but it didn't damage anything and it didn't live to tell the tale). When all our ammo was depleted we landed near the Farm in the north of the city and joined the sniper team for the attack on the northern outpost. We didn't get to see much of that attack but alwarren and den were hit from the barn which someone kindly blew up with a RPG . after that we went back to the helicopter to scan for the struglers and guide the Infantry in.

event though contact with the ground team was quickly established, everything went downhill pretty fast. After establishing visual contact on the lost squad I tried to land in the clearing they were passing on their way up to the castle. while I was landing Den's chopper was critically hit and went down and I took one hit while landing damaging the chopper and when trying to stabilize the copper on the ground (apparently the chopper didn't have a brake) either crashed into a tree backwarts or took a second hit taking out my tail rotor which forced me to abort and return to base (which was a nice training since even though I totaled the chopper on landing I was able to walk away from it
