Clear Agia Marina
I guess going over the street was the best idea. The hillside was pretty exposed, and unfortunately got spotted there.
Winter's Pack
Can I say I loved this mission? Yes I can. I loved this mission. Highlight of the evening. Stealth missions are hard to pull off and this one did pull it off.
I think my approach was pretty solid. We got pretty far without getting detected, and if the AI would react to the noise instead of the triggerman, blowing up the trucks at the first camo net would have drawn some of them away. The way that we approached this I think worked well.
TBH, I am not quite sure were things went south. Unfortunately Variable shot his AT at a UAZ, but TBH, in the darkness and snowstorm that was the best thing to do, because it could have easily been a BTR-80 or something worse, and we were able to pick up more AT on the way.
The Shilka really was a problem. It was too bad we lost sight of it.
I should really make a habbit of recording Stagwine's missions. They're always top notch.
Two things I have to say though:
1) If your leader speaks, everybody else be quiet. We had multiple cases of that, and one time it made me get loud.
2) One comment I got during the mission was "I don't think it is a good idea to go after the Shilka". Never question my decision once I made it. I was the squad leader, and I had decided to try and hunt down the Shilka, and I really don't care who thinks this is a good or bad idea.
Not that I would need to explain this, but the reason I was trying to get the Shilka was because I didn't want it to come in our backs when we were engaging the BM-21's. It made a lot of sense to try and hunt it down, and the only reason I gave up on it was because it had moved out of range and there was little point in trying to hunt it down in a snow storm by night.
30m Frogs
The armor of these guys is insane. They just won't die, you have to expend at least half a magazine. Other than that, it's a cool mission, and execution wasn't bad except for Charlie team getting wiped out.
The Akala Situation
I think this mission really needs support vehicles or repair specialists. With all the AT around it is really hard not to get hit, especially since it is almost entirely open field and engagement range is beyond the zeroing of the main gun.
Also, if the gunner and driver switches positions, of course the gunner needs to switch to the driver seat, otherwise, yes we don't have a driver. Also, if you think you cannot fullfil a role, think about that before you take the slot. If there is no free slot in the slot screen, make it known that you want to switch and give the reason. But do not take a slot if you are unsure you can handle it.
Sar-E-Sang Interception
When the APC engaged us, I think at least for the lead vehicle it was the best decision to drive forward behind the buildings.
I got shot by a single guy on the mountain top. No fire, no tent, nothing, he was just standing there. Damn campers
Jolly Green
I got shot out of the cockpit by Katiba Snipers each and every time. I was so proud I landed the chopper on that tiny little lawn in front of the house and got immediately headshotted by a guy from the hillside.
Lesson learned, try to find an angle which is safe to land in first, although most of the time it's essential to get out there quick especially if cover is flaky...

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
