Me too, nowt wrong with a bit of attack & defend, or capture the flag, sometimes overly convoluted rules go out the window for many players after the whistle blows, you just want action, ideally without cheating.
Problem you’ve got is your second point vary rarely happens which cancels out your first comment , which is why I’ve not bothered going to any immersive games (refuse to call them mil-sim as they bare absolutely no resemblance to the name !) for yrs now . You’ll get the small teams of friends working together and every now and again you’ll get a clump of players working together but on the whole i found it always just disintegrates in to a scurmish in the end . It’ll never truly work due to the fact everyone there has paid a substantial amount of beer tokens to be there and they want there money’s worth out of it (and you can’t blame them for that) but to work you need a fairly ridged structure of command , and there in lyes your true problem on the whole Airsofters don’t like being told what to do , so soon as an objective has to be planned out , an attack on a building for example instead of the commander say “you do X ! you do Y! And you do Z !” And the players doing it , it just descend in to a Chinese parliament where you’ve got everyone clamouring for there opinion to be heard and taken and players sulking off and doing there own thing because no one would listen to there masterful plan (of course it would have worked , he’s been playing CoD for years you know !) .
Nail on the head mate , how many times have you seen players milling around a doorway (won’t call it stacking as there not !?) a player will lob a grenade in run in and they all just stand there looking blank ! No ones backed them up ?
I’ve lost count of the No of times it’s happended to me , I’ve reached a point now where if there isn’t one of my own team to back me up or a couple of players I consider friends and I know I can rely on them I just don’t bother any more . ?
