I've used her quite a lot recently in vanilla as a great data tracker option for the plethora of missions where either getting your DT to do a thing is important or even just keeping one alive. Her toolbox profile can be pretty brutal in combating midfield links too. I don't know if she will continue to make all my lists but she is certainly going to be in the mix of consideration pieces on a weekly basis.
I’ve also been playing a lot of vanilla and really enjoy her in there, but it’s definitely mission dependent. So far I’ve been enjoying the red fury Muhktar paired with a mutt or two (for smoke tricks, of course) a bit more, but they’re both really fantastic. Vanilla makes me less squeamish about the price tag on both, since I don’t feel the need to shell out points for a 5 man.
