III Execution

Commander’s Intent

Helicopters should be used as a force multiplier and close air support.

Movement Plan

  • Use helicopters for rapid infill and exfil.
  • Helicopters are high-priority targets (don’t spend too much time on the ground).
  • The longer time our troops spend on the ground the longer the enemy will have time to muster troops.
  • All landings should use the “show and go” method if possible
  • Fly low, avoid flying over hills, and use valleys for cover.
  • stage landing technique “show and go”

AA Threat

  • Light arms
  • Heavy arms
  • RPG’s
  • Some MANPADS

Pilots should be using IR countermeasures over enemy positions. Single flair ~30 seconds.

Armour Threat

  • some old MBT
  • Limited modern MBT

Nightbird has limited TOW lauchers.

Reinforcements

  • Reinsertions will be on the hour every hour and be adhered to strictly, no deviation is allowed.
  • Reinsertions are the same for all, including vehicle teams.
  • The Platoon Commander has a one-time reinsertion wild card at his disposal, call this in through HQ.
  • At predesignated times, reinforcements will be sent out of the base in the smallest transport vehicle that can hold reinforcements.
  • At predesignated times, an air transport will be sent out to pick up reinforcements from the base.

Great OP @Mattdogs. Loved the chaos.

@Schmalfred and @Teddy, amazing work in the end when we were trying to survive. I was passed out and halfway to heaven multiple times but Teddy patched me up while Schmalfred was covering the main entrance. We all checked in with each other every 5-10 seconds because things were so hectic.
Bonus points for @Spud guiding me over the bridge. I couldn’t see anything since I was moving Teddy as a prisoner since he was AFK :rofl:

Server/HC FPS at the last objective was hovering around 10FPS which was noticeable.

T’was awesome to see so many foots on the ground and birds in the air.

NB did great if ignoring my flying mishaps (rocket in the face and tree in the cheek). Good shooting @Ohdahh!

Thank you for the OP!

That did give me some Lone Survivor vibes as the AI was harassing us from all sides. It was a really fun experience and i loved the chaos. As we started hearing the red team over the radio a bit better by the minute, while trying to survive with a few magazines left and running out of ammo. That relief was so good when they finally arrived.
