Report follows:
Joined the round, had about 3 people on each team. I made an air trans squad to get things going.
After a couple of minutes the two man clan squad and the lone wolf squad merged to form one infantry squad, and they invited me in to help with commuication.
Got a few compliments from the SL on flying, which wasn't really difficult as I was only doing trans and suppruns, and I never got locked by AA. I almost died once as I was going to extract the lads and I pinballed off a couple of buildings, forcing me back to the carrier as a shaking, exploding mess.
After about half an hour of closely supporting this infantry squad I was invited to the newly formed cobra squad, and since I'd just lost a match against a shipping container I decided I'd have my first go of gunning on multiplayer.
The pilot had reasonable flying skills, and we only crashed once about an hour after starting, so we had a very good session. At first I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to do anything since he was constantly doing hydra runs and not hovering to let me engage when I told him to, but after a few minutes we started working as a team, with a pretty good spotter as well.
We had about 5 enemy contacts by the docks, 2 of which were sly gits trying to get to the cranes and set up AA positions, the others being vehicular targets (2 of those flat APC things and one truck)
We also had a squad (possible fob) digging in at an apartment block, which we pounded with both the 30mil and a few hellfires, getting 4 confirmed kills (we checked for bodies).
As well as this we had two contacts on the crane at the construction site, which we were unable to engage with hellfires, so they got a lot of cannon fire instead.
Reading the score screen I eventually got 24 kills on that position, however I also killed 3 friendlies, one of which was our own spotter (we made sure to call visual contacts as well after that)

but I'm on 1900-2100GMT (2100-2300 IST) and usually on either muttrah server or the UKWF flight training server if it's online
