I think the TOD's are great but there are a couple of snags that I have seen in the few I have flown in. Here are a few thoughts that I have dredged from my subconsciousness...
Low numbers - In the frame of Black Sea that I CO'd we had two squads that were way under strength. We had one pilot out of two squads show. I know that this is not controllable at all by the CM's but it really messed up the tasking and led to a lot of confusion. Maybe squads that fail to field players should be encouraged more rather than threatened with expulsion... Who knows?
Aircraft assignments - I noticed that the Sat TOD has mandatory aircraft type on the orders, is this going to be a feature for the next few Friday TOD's as well? I noticed that Black Sea frame 3 was 80% La5's, better than 100% La5's but again a bit too uniform for my taste. I'd like to see the mandatory plane % assignments used every TOD to avoid TOD furballing...
Terrain bugs - Not so much avoiding them because they will always be there but having a contingency plan. Maybe a "what if" action list could be drawn up for the CM running the event to help handle bugs.
Field captures - I don't know if they have been included in TOD's but maybe a frame could include field capture as a primary objective. Give the goon/M3 driver 3 or 4 lives and try to get a goon in... would be another factor in strategy. Good for gv battles maybe?
Hope these suggestions are helpful...
