Well, afterwards I went on to have probably the best night I've had in the MA yet.
Not a ton of kills, but the most I've ever gotten in a night. My SA and view work was 10x better than it had been. I recorded and watched a lot of video last night, and at one point I was alone between A1 and A19 with about 6-8 Rooks. Got 1 kill, and peppered several. Lasted for 8 minutes like that.
From watching that I can see I need to work on converting a defense move/reversal to offensive, instead continuing in a defensive mode. Of course the biggest thing I saw was my need to better my gun solutions and accurracy. But...all in all I was really happy.
