Issues:

Critical Issues:

Game-breaking bugs, crashes, or failures to meet core requirements

Mission needs a Header .conf file to be selectable on the server. see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yRKSkQ0XSYyxI8OqAjnzKEY8OA1gKogqq4VydXl47OY/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.3cev1c7gxbo0 (note ONLY make changes as described, icon loading screens etc cannot be changed)

Major Issues:

Significant gameplay imbalances, broken triggers, or missing briefing intel

Mortar Round crate does not contain any mortar rounds.

Minor Issues:

Typos, aesthetic clipping, or non-essential optimization suggestions

The "callsign" of your groups can be improved by setting PS_GroupCallsignAssigner in each group. Your mission does have a lot of "asset groups" so maybe the standard platoon format of 1,2,3 is not what you are looking for? see https://github.com/perfk/gc-reforger-missions/wiki/How-to-add-Callsigns-to-groups for how you can change a faction name.

The Blufor/Opfor EditableMarker.et's have different "glow" images. (you can set "none" if you couldnt find a glow value you liked), or maybe the skull is on purpose.

Recommendations:

These are the reviewer’s subjective suggestions for improvement. While they may enhance the player experience, they are not required for mission approval.

This mission is way too easy. The five Crow M2s alone could wipe out all insurgents on the walls, and if pushed onto hill 048 014, they could just as easily kill everything else. I'd add more emplacements, MG and AT if we have them, and place more stationary units inside the tents and around the bunkers on base. The "defense" waypoints for the larger groups are fine, but those units generally just stand out in the open.
I'd block off hill 048 014 so the US can't reach it, or add a small outpost with more insurgents there. As it stands, the US can take that hill without ever making contact with the base.
I'd make this a standard three-rifle-platoon attack and leave out the Recon/SMAW/MMG setup.
-- There's nothing for Recon to actually recon, they're all inside the base, we already know where they are.
-- If we want a SMAW or MMG, put it in a proper weapons squad instead.
I'd remove the mortar. Thirty rounds isn't enough to justify a dedicated team, most COs will just order all rounds fired and then rejoin the assault. That also makes the Forward Observer pointless, since they'd never be in position before the rounds are gone. And if the mortar does turn out to be effective, the already limited defender force ends up even worse off.
I'd remove the mines from the humvees' standard loadout. GC can be unreliable, and the mines aren't needed here anyway.
Make it COTVT with a small scoped section (no sniper scopes). A mission like this can easily turn into the US just shooting from a distance, and adding defenders makes that harder. They should be forced to fight inside the base.

Dependencies:

Implemented everything Perfk said, added a few surprises and it should be ready and tested (by me)

Please note that some small issues we normally just fix for you to keep missions rolling in, but since this is your first mission will i sadly need to be annoying and ask you to fix them on your own, so you remember it next time.
