Just had a very, very fun couple of hours playing this to completion! Some comments in the spoiler.
The challenge level was very satisfactory. Lots of enemies but they weren't super-coordinated so it was not a suicide mission.
I really liked how the mission starts in daylight and proceeds into night.
The timer for the new tank crew arriving felt very short, I only just barely got there in time.
Really loved how almost all of the guard towers were manned. Too many empty towers in the BIS missions. Also liked the enemy snipers positioned strategically on hilltops (and that darn hidden machine gunner near the runway). Frustrating, but realistic :).
The documents were on the most distant small island (I think I was playing your previous version), and my poor AI buddies kept wandering into deep water and dropping all their equipment. (was fun finding them new pairs of night vision goggles :) ). Also, I was unable to climb the ladder in the lighthouse. Is that normal?
My favorite part - stealing the truck with mounted grenade launcher from the base near the airport and using it to pound Strelka into dust :).
