Specially in hardmaps maps, you must play as team. And as a team you should not leave people alone and take responsibility. Join Operations: TR allows you to stack vehicles for maximum teamwork:

LCAC
Drop people off at the target, even if that is on land. It's a land craft, not a landing craft like many people think.

Chinook (1)
Flying a chinook is nice, but you might get shot. If this happens above water, your team has to swim to the target, which can be very far. Always take a zodiac with you:

Chinook (2)
The zodiac is very slow when on land. So in case the heli brakes above land, this is useless. So besides the zodiac, you should also take a backup chopper:

Or even better, help your team and take 3 chinooks. In case the first 2 brake, you can still get your team to the target:

Rocketpod
Being the pilot of a little bird rocket chopper is the most selfish thing to do. In case your team needs help, you have only 1 seat to evacuate them. Always take a chinook on top when flying the little bird, just in case someone needs help

Take it all
When you attack an unknown base far away across the water, as commander it might be hard to judge how to lead the attack. Do you need to attack by air, by sea of from distance. A good team leader leaves all options open and attacks with every possible equipement they might need.

Extended armory
Always take the armory with you. But the default JO:TR armory is very limited. You should extend it before you go by loading up some extra gear in the back first.

Mark V
The Mark V has onboard firepower. But this is limited to 4 mounted weapons. For the best attack, and the best chance your team survives, increase the firepower by loading up an armed zodiac and a buggy.

And of course, in case of emercancy, you should take a chinook to evacuate your troops when it's needed.

That's about it for now. I still have to find out where I stored the screenshot of the moveable security tower I made by stacking 4 BTRs on top of each other

Are there any more tricks with the weird vehicle collision engine of this game I missed? I'm still trying to make the ultimate team transport machine (or death machine based on the number of onboard guns it has), but they keep exploding before I reach the top
