I guess we surprised them from behind because the tanks at the oil field never knew what hit them. I tried to keep all teams involved, but It wasn't good enough. If we had some ATGMs it would have been easier to keep more guys in contact but all we had were the vehicles and some short range AT rockets.
Lessons learned: before cresting with a tank or an IFV, if possible make the gunners disembark, spot their assigned targets and get back to their vehicles. This will limit the time needed for the gunners to line up a shot right after exposing themselves.
