For those still confused about traversing commands!

Yesterday saw some great work by OCB members and some of our regular public players on Patrol Ops.   Highlight of the early afternoon was some armoured operations involving two tanks.   The vehicles were able to maneuver correctly, use the terrain and engage targets on the move, which saw the successful completion of a difficult mission with no casualties and with both vehicles returning to base with slight damage.

Later in the evening, the available number of deployable troops picked up, which enabled deployment by soft skinned vehicles of a number of infantry elements and a fire support team utilising mortars.

Communications between sections were very good, field formations were utilised, and the plan was executed with few problems.   A couple of near misses with one inadvertently fired mortar round (it's ok, we forgive you), and few casualties.   Overall a great night had by all, and thanks to the members and guests that made it such a great night.

Here are some more images of the action.  I believe there is a video that has been recorded - to be released soon.

OCB is very welcoming to all players, new or old. It's one of the things we are known for and we will continue to welcome all. Although it must be said, more like a reminder, that use of voice communications in game should be restricted to communicating about what is going on in the mission, location of friendlies, enemy elements, coordination of helo extraction etc.

OCB members are getting a little fed up with the constant rubbish talk that is going on in team speak, with some players facing removal from the servers if it continues.

"Fuck I just got blown up", "Hey what retarded hat should I wear", or similar are comments we don't need to hear.   If you want to talk crap, that's fine, just don't join team speak.   When using a radio mod like ACRE or TFR, it is for communication with other elements to pass on information.  It is not for you to waffle shit, so don't do it. 

If you want to talk crap that is not mission related, turn your mic off and go for your life. When guys are trying to use comms to coordinate their efforts we don't want to hear about your weekend, the fact your parrot just died, the cat threw up on your keyboard, or that you just broke a fingernail - we don't really care.

Keep the chatter lean and clean.
