It's OCTOPUS ISLAND because you're the guy that showed up to defend.
And hey, BOXHOUND is the best emblem ever!

Meh, I use Non-lethal anyways. (And complain about it every now and then.)
Basically, with Non-lethal, you have a chance if you can get up quick.
Lethal, dead is dead, but you have armor/health regen.  Bring a high rank and you can survive more bullets.

And I don't use see any Rolan or Seven on my list.  My username definitely has the word Zangi in it.  This is on PS4?

Nope, PC.  Guess it's someone else who likes dwarf engineers.  Even if they aren't bay12, no regrets...
Is there any reason not to offer support to freakin everyone?  Not that it matters, I'm only choosing the emblem I like best from each random list.  Or from many of the lists, none.

The only logical reason is that you could get mission requests at an inopportune time and feel bad that you didn't help them.
Plus there's the GMP you lose from deployment.

I'm pretty sure I hit a cap on # of people I can support, might not be one on PC version, who knows.

EDIT: Using locked characters, you won't lose em if you die/get captured in FOB.  I lost a few junk A+ guys dying in FOBs and stuff.

So after being "done" with the game (82% completion, little to do besides play pokemon with animals and slowly S rank them all), the thing that eased the game the most for me was to start selling resources. They give so much cash, it's crazy. Currently, if I'm being lazy, It's just power-crusing through with the D-Walker and shoting the ballista at dudes or running around with a stun nade-laucher (upgrading the very first, basic nade laucher is very worth it) and then telling d-dog to get em. Doing No Kills, No bullettime, full stealth, no evidence (never fire a shot) - runs of the main missions is the most fun at this point, since normal dudes are never a issue in the small numbers they appear in.

I've reached the "how can I keep playing this game while acting as mentally deranged as possible" phase. Death is not enough. They must suffer.

Fun tip: use (active) decoys to see how many times you can throw them around in one go, aka conscript juggling.

I stole a guy and drove him way out of the way in the desert and kicked him awake. He pulls out a pistol and I disarm him and knock him out. Do it again but this time give him the opportunity to knife me before knocking him out again. Wake him up, steal his pistol but don't hold him up and apparently he simply can't handle it and falls to the ground stunned. Somehow CP nearly half a kilometer out knows about it.

I'm getting really sick of defending this palace from this flipping army (for no reason at all, no less).  The GROM takes 5-6 hits against the APCs' front armor, yet it's got the highest damage ranking of all my rockets.  Meanwhile the vehicles see right through smoke grenades, and supposedly stealth camo and sandstorms too.

The APCs are bad enough with their nigh-invincibility and knockdown shots, but the actual tanks keep sniping me from across the map.  If I see them launch a shell through my scope, it's too late to run.  But hiding gets the VIP hurt, and they retarget almost instantly since they know I'm around the building and they hang back pretty far.

I've tried replacing the GROM with the Brennen sniper, and it seems to work a bit better.  A lot easier to fight back against the infantry, and I can reload it from the ground.  Still takes forever to actually kill the vehicles though.  So far I've had the most luck just extracting them, preferably before they disgorge.  But that leaves me exposed to the other infantry (not like I have any covering fire to speak of, grrr) and to getting sniped by the battle tanks.  But they snipe me even when I'm indoors, with their shallow arcs, so yeah.  Those shells have a massive instant-kill range too.

Bluh...  Guess I should have upgraded the other rocket launchers more.  I upgraded the missile launcher for the support chopper, I don't think it's equipped though.  I'll see how that works, never used it before.

This mission sucks ass

If it's the mission I think it is, then use the cells to the left to intercept tank shots until you've reloaded. If you have the grom fully upgraded, it should take two shots to make the APCs stall, so long as you aim low.

That mission really did suck indeed. I got killed by the very same goddamn tank a couple times. It even managed to shoot over the sandy hill it was riding behind, right into the room I was standing, right into my face. Without seeing me (i was looking through the binoculars and only just saw the upper tip of the tank's turret above the sand dune). Glad it's over with. Too bad the 'reward' kinda sucks as well though.

The """reawrd""" I got for it would have made the mission much, much easier for me. :P
