Lost Squad
Glorious defeat on the last attempt, which was ideal for the last one for that evening. A couple of pointers for leaders in this missions:
Ground team
When Civilians Defend
Good job everybody, I wasn't sure we are going to make it. Gotta love seeing enemy infantry blowing up on the mines. None of them came through the valley! I was sure the bulk of the force will attack through it so I had it all densely mined. Damn that Ifrit was moving exactly where I planned on placing a SLAM mine...
Another mission designed to be played with respawn is beaten without it on CiA!
Bomberman Three
Ambushing Delta's convoy
To be honest I'm not sure what happened on the second attempt when we managed to overcome the hostages convoy defenders. Can anyone from my team shed light on what happened there? All I know is that the lead vehicle evaded the explosive charge, I took out the rear Ifrit and then hell broke loose and in its end, I chased the lead Ifrit and took it out with an RPG when it returned and attacked us.
What happened in between?
Attacking the FOB
I wasn't expecting that much resistance. When we were attacked from behind by enemy reinforcements I wanted to push forward and take cover in the FOB which I assessed to be lightly guarded by the time we got there. I was terribly wrong. These guys fought like lions there and didn't let us in. It was a fierce battle and we put up a good fight. Good job guys. For next time - I'll get back to our crates and re-equip with AT. I had only HE to hit that chopper with. AT would have destroyed it to pieces.
Great mission, loved every second of it.
Korean War
I like that one although it was a bit on the Hollywood side, gotta appreciate the effort that was put in it and recruiting all the mums and girlfriends to do voice acting. I had the entertaining job of calling in fire missions, and boy, was I surprised to see CSAT on that windmill. I was on my quad bike when I saw an Iranian fellow strolling in front of me. He wasn't more than 10 meters away when I broke left and drove away, I only saw him raising his weapon. I tried to return and attack but his friends were already alerted so I pulled back, called in a 3 shells fire mission on them with good effect on target. By the time I got there, the APC crew was there to help me mop up the two survivors that remained.
Glorious defeat on the last attempt, which was ideal for the last one for that evening. A couple of pointers for leaders in this missions:
Ground team
- [size=1em]Position yourself from where you can disengage a superior force and put something solid between you and the enemy, like a hill or a structure. Try to keep on the move if you are engaged.[/size]
- [size=1em]Don't get hit! The survival of your team depends on you keeping comms with the choppers and directing them.[/size]
- [size=1em]Keep talking so the pilots could use the level of distortion to assess whether they are getting closer to you.[/size]
- [size=1em]Avoid marking your position with smoke. But if you have to, don't use white smoke! The enemy is usually using white smoke and that makes it highly confusing for the gunships to decide where is the enemy and where are you.[/size]
- [size=1em]Once contact is made, use multiple chemlights to mark your position, IR grenades are even better, use both.[/size]
- [size=1em]Use flares only when a chopper is visible[/size]
- [size=1em]Split up to cover more ground. Each chopper should be sent to different part of the island.[/size]
- [size=1em]Keep talking. Try to determine whether you are getting closer to the ground team by the level of radio distortion.[/size]
- [size=1em]Keep your collision lights on. When locating the team and engaged with the enemy, turn them off.[/size]
- [size=1em]When the ground team think they see you, release flares.[/size]
