Hello Tanoa,
@Stagwine: Awesome story to read, I really wish I had recorded my POV and even spectating yous with Alias and commentating on your moves as it would've made an awesome action movie (Better than Expendables 3 anyway). Really happy you 4 made it out at the end 8) .
Regarding kills, I'll tell you in private since there's a rule against posting the debriefing kills at the end here because this is more focused on COOP than action.
@Unnamed: Another awesome story. Really happy you had the balls to drive around the LAV against the Abrams to distract it otherwise we were just stuck at the ATC tower based on orders. Good flying too. Though please next time split the wall of text into some easier to read paragraphs. Also it's Den (For Dennis) not Dan.
My POV on Hello Tanoa.
Before starting, my tip for a mission without radios, is to try and get some from any bodies you came near. You can easily pick up from an enemy EI.
Started as Charlie's M107 Sniper with a Thermal Scope with Evans in the Lead, ALIAS and Kah (Sorry about typo in name). Walking on NE outskirts of Balota. Start to take fire behind us and from the air strip. M107 with long range scope whilst out of stamina and constantly shaking at 100m against riflemen is not very good. Everything goes to shit with a lot of shouting in local. Charlie manages to shoot the attackers behind whilst I start dispaching the ones shooting from runway.
We push to hangars and capture the hangar area and ATC. There we see the tank. "Hmm this shouldn't be a problem, ALIAS and I have some AT". We proceed to shoot the tank. Not a scratch on it and now it's angry. It proceeds to shred about 7 people (Evans, ALIAS, Varanon, Alwarren and few others) whilst trying to get to the magical AT crate. No luck. We are down to the 5 people mentioned above by Stag/Unnamed (Manuel,Kah and I) by the time I take command. Manuel and Kah were sharing the shed together, hiding (( ?° ?? ?°)), Unnamed was in the hangar with the LAV and Stag was with me at ATC.
I decide to try and contact unnamed and luckily he had a radio. Since Stag and I were pinned, I decided to try and ask Unnamed to drive LAV and be the bait so we can attempt to go hangar. Surprisingly Unnamed did as ordered and it somehow worked without his death (or ours). Stag and I attempt to load up on missiles but then disaster strikes.
The angry tank shot at the parked Harrier in our hangar, detonating me along side the harrier. Luckily Stag somehow survived and managed to get me up but I was in the open with an AT rocket. Only thing standing between me and angry Abrams was a Dorito Triangle shaped metal part from the hangar stuck in the ground giving me some cover. Sadly it was pointing down and my feet were exposed and took fire. Peeking from my safe triangle I managed to hit the tank and it was still alive. I shot about 8 rockets into it from every AT launcher in the crate to finally disable it.
We then group up and fly in the Seahawk to NWAF and the rest of story was covered well in other's posts.
Regarding my death though, I thought it would be smart if I tried to take it out with a Javelin from crates in middle of airfield (I mean wishful thinking that only 1 of the tanks might be glitched) and only risking me instead of whole party. Shoot Javelin, hit tank, glitched like the first one, turns barrel around and shreds me. Died. Sad times.
