Our first LZ was way too close to the target and so we ended up in front of an APC and a roadblock.
We already discussed what happened in the following minute and it ended with the APC burning and the objective achieved.
I beg to differ. The LZ was NOT too close to the target, and if your pilot is not capable of waving off if there is a danger nearby, I cannot help that. I explicitly said the pilot should wave off if the LZ is hot. We inserted perfectly fine, and were not at all spotted from the tower.
I (maybe falsely) assumed that your pilot would not land in front of an APC/Roadblock and search for a different LZ. I cannot see what you or your pilot sees, and I do not want to micromanage every aspect. As I said, I specifically told the pilots to look for another LZ, but even if I hadn't, it is common sense.
Quote:After pickup the new LZs were again way to close to the target, but after protest the pilots made it work anyway. The assault went smoothly and I was just about to organize the second assault when I was shot by a sniper.
Again, I disagree. There was nothing to "make it work". I told the pilot to fly in low from the south, there was absolutely no danger and we weren't engaged at any point, so my calculation proved to be right no the point. Granted, this was a risk, but a calculated risk and I was right.
So I really don't understand the argument here.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
