CSI: OPFOR
Nice mission as always, good leading, good warm up exercise.

I definitely need more practice with tanks and AT. Is hard to coordinate a platoon of tanks without practice.
And in the context of modern warfare the scenario from this mission is not realistic at all, with so many things bunched up, helicopters, tanks in a such small area. But was fun.
I'm not 100% sure but in a combined operation i think we need the commander to be out of the action so he can have a better view on the big picture and coordinate team without dodging bullets and rockets. Also he shouldn't get caught in micromanagement that's squad leaders job.
Since i couldn't find who has the command bar i took command towards the end and tried to get in touch with other teams. Was hectic and difficult without armored support.
Later i tried to update map with new targets for arty but i was never able to get in touch with them via radio.
We got lucky towards the end, whoever took out the tanks on route towards the objective did great job, we wouldn't have been able to make it otherwise. That valley is pretty deadly.
McGregor did great spotting the enemy tanks, he saved our behinds several times.
Despite i was like a fly without head at the end, the guys which were with me did a great job and we managed to take out the last enemy tank overwatching the objective.

The cluster fuck from the beginning was my doing. Sorry.
I got confused by mk4hud, but we end up taking all 3 cars which proved useful since charlie didn't have transportation.
In the past using my + key on the numpad mk4hud told me whos in the vehicle, took me a while to understand that doesn't work like that anymore
Very nice work on the convoy. Didn't expect to deal with it so fast and i was surprised how many PCMLs an APC can take.
I wasn't aware the first scout position had a good angle on enemy camp, i should've make sure i know all the facts before making a decision, however i tried to keep everyone on the move and cover the terrain as fast and safe possiblen. That side of the map is tough for vehicles and i don't know it very well (which is a good thing).
Is one of the reasons i consider using it for a future mission of mine as well.
It was a good call to use scouts, next time i'll take more advantage from this strategy.
Towards the end i split up trying to stay away from the heat, get better eyes on the objective but all i managed to do is to draw enemies attention and we had close contacts.
Thankfully Den saved my ass more than once and by doing so we removed some heat from other teams.
The best thing we did was to make the enemy APC move on us which made it easier for others.
Since i was busy saving my ass and playing hide and seek with enemies i relied more on the feedback i had from other teams and their good judgement and they did great taking out the objective.
Was a challenging mission as always. Good experience and a lot of lessons to learn. Thank you FHQ!
Operation Red Tiger
Good for practice, pretty common mission, feels like made for target practice.
