Yes. there is no limit of praise about this mission.
It was horrible feeling to notice how there seemed to be only AI infantry and 2 brads. Me and Evil-fox at the most north. Especially when Platoon leader told me to look at the map.
Oh my god... Map was red of enemy platoons coming down towards me and Evil-fox. It felt hopeless. I do bet that it was something similar that mens that fough winter war in Finland experienced.
at the moment it felt especially like in to spot 2:54 Like... from nothing there all of sudden came far more than you can deal with.
or better seen here.. this is what I meant. It felt like this. OMG...
Like there was thought... how the hell can I survive this?! Im going to die... waiting - waiting.- shooting - waiting - shooting.
Talking with Evil to get courage, Hearing from platoon leader how screwed I will be in moments. - Shooting, - More shooting.- Nerver breaking waiting. - Hit to my face... sending hit tank with black eye back to town of saint joseft and receiving XO to help. Continying to fight with knifes and machine guns. All so intense for a while. Another black eye, sending it back, but not enough, and too late, it gets destroed. Getting one more brad under my command but its on hellish place. Under attack of platoon of enemy tanks! Hiding behind wrecks. Firing tows that don't seem to kill enemy. Running as fast as I can to hide and to reload. Listening intence gas turbine sounds. - heart beating. Listening how those engine sounds seem to be all over in my front area getting closer and closer. Sneaking closer to see. I sneaked too much a head, I see how tanks gun moves over hill not far. Its coming over hill, and will see me. - I nearly panic. knowing I dont make to hiding place in time. I shoot many salvos to it and run closer it to hide under small hill that it was trying to get over. - nerve breaking waiting, as it climbs up. I empty my 25mm belts to it. It seems to stop but seek target. Its on bushesh and I feel that I cant hit it with tow. I start reloading nearly in panic like manner noticing more antennas, and suspicious movement not far from tank that stopped over hill. Reloading, hoping for best. reloading.... and I see it. Tank circling hill.. coming to me. And I turn, preparing to tow on its side, and it makes it. Turret flyes sky high. Another tow from clear spot to stopped tank, and situation gets more calm. I see own infantry running at the hill where those tanks were stopped. I start feeling more calm. I hear that Fox is still alive and that attack on north is stopped. I hear that Fox sees own leopard helping there near his location and I feel that we have hope... after all the hell... we have hope.
and actually... that was it for me... nothing happened after that but silence
and question... was this all of it? reloading everything, sending damaged brad to repair area. Re positioning and even scouting a little with troops to know if enemy will be coming and from where... and just waiting.
And at that moment I started to have that awkward smile on my face.. to know that I was alive!
Great mission Cougar! I loved it. So intense, nearly hopeless at the moment. But we make it!
