Can you have the markers for all active objectives show like the previous version and not only show when it’s been assigned? I get that we need map awareness and all that but while traveling, if one stumbles across the side mission or something and dies it wastes time and resources. 
 
This also helps in objectives being completed more effectively as all players are aware of active tasks at all times.
 
Also I am not a fan of how the map currently works in terms of markers for vehicles and infantry. The previous one feels a lot a cleaner and easier to use. I didn’t even use the map yesterday because it didn’t offer me anything beneficial as markers seem to fade fast and EI are not marked. 
 
My reason for bringing these points up is that you have a lot of new and casual players on EU1 and these small things plus the increased difficulty of missions makes it frustrating and will probably result in teamkills, players not wanting to play due to frustration with mechanics and difficulty etc.
 
To be honest, I still have a better, more fun gaming experience on the old version because it’s simpler and I enjoy clearing buildings of EI. Please put EI hiding in buildings again!
 
The aspects I do like are the point system and the more structured main objectives with tasks to complete.
 
Would I play this version instead of the old one if presented a choice, especially as a relatively new player? No. I was frustrated, annoyed that I kept dying trying to get out of the old AO because infantry don’t despawn, annoyed that I kept getting one shot by EI over 700m away.... 
 
I think AW need to look at what, ultimately they want from this. Is it for the experienced players, to offer a challenging experience? Is it for the casual players? Will newer players stick around, eduring the more challenging aspects and dying often to master the new version?
 
This is a long post and I am sorry but the TL:DR version is - would players play this over 3?

Situation
Tensions between the United States and Iran have reached new heights. Neither side is backing down and both sides continue to posture with increasing displays of brinkmanship. War Hawks within the United States Government, including the President, have decided that enough is enough. The United States will strike first in an effort to prevent catastrophe in the region and protect the country's interests in the international economy. Critical to the invasion, named Operation Fighting Resolve, is the capture of Landay Airfield in the inland province of Anizay. This airfield is used to launch interceptor aircraft as well as acting as the main support base for Iran's mobile ballistic missile divisions. Secondarily, to the base's west is a crucial Iranian Command and Control Center (CCC). Capturing, disabling, and investigating the CCC will enable conventional US forces to establish a foothold as they move inland during the follow on stages of the invasion. The unit that has been tasked with mission is the 2nd Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment. No unit is more perfect for this mission than the 75th Ranger Regiment with their expertise in direct action and airfield seizure.

@Schubz - Runnerup for most incoherent player "Sometimes, I have no Idea what you are saying and its hillarious! "
 
I am absolutely terrified that I have forgotten someone, so if you are sad that you are not in this list, it's not because I don't appreciate you, it's because my monkeybrain has problems remembering things (And because it was really difficult to only choose one person per slot).
In the end, everyone who plays alongside me is an absolute legend, and I appreciate you all.

AW Role Model 2020: @Jochem he is good at whatever role, frequently steps up and always helps others.

For me the best piece of advice is to use minor corrections. The most common error is to over correct which leads to a cascade of constantly over compensating and you then cannot get into a stable hover or movement. 
 
Try getting into your landing phase about a kilometre out.
When I was new I generally tried to have my final approach be as straight as possible, I then only had to worry about managing my altitude and speed.
The less things you have to think about the better.
