sw22 0 Posted July 8, 2003 I'm on Resistance mission FIRE FIGHT. I've reached the airfield and am in a position to RPG the three bombers, but as soon as I open fire on the first plane, a bunch of tanks and loads of infantry all start shooting at me. Consequently I never get further than destroying the 2nd bomber before the Russkies blow me away. Any ideas how to finish the mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trapper 0 Posted July 8, 2003 Search for a better hideout, were you can take cover after your first shot and hope the enemy won't hit you before you hit the dirt. For the next shot wait until they stop watching your direction or choose another place for your shot. Or try the mission with satchels, that way not all enemys are detecting you at once, but it's dangerous to get in and out. This mission is difficult in both ways but I prefer satchels after the same bad experiences with RPGs. The desert is just to open to get away after they detect you, and they are very good in detecting rocketlaunches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sw22 0 Posted July 8, 2003 Thanks Tracker but I managed to finish it by firing all three RPGs damned quick and then lying down until the Mission Complete screen. It took me about 20 attempts to hit all three planes quickly enough AND survive the tanks coming up behind me. I got blown sky high many times! I stopped and fired from near the finger-shaped rock. Not a good place to be when the tanks come rolling in but I couldn't find any proper cover that was within RPG range of the planes. Going right up to the hangars just got me shot by their infantry. I did think about using satchels but reckoned I wouldn't be able to get close enough to the planes before being spotted. How did you get that close? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trapper 0 Posted July 9, 2003 If I remember right, I crossed the runway near the mountains in the south and approached on the western side of the runway. So the hangars blocked the view of most of the defenders. Guys that i couldn't avoid I had to kill on my way. After reaching the planes like that it was quite enough to setup all satchels. Maybe the direct way saved time, the enemy reinforcements didn't arrive before I started my retreat to the mountains. - I wasn't sure if I would make it, and was already thinking "The campaign was so good until now, why did they put such a Red-Hammer-Hero like mission in?". But before I had to worry about covers and unrealistic heromissions, the outro took over and prooved me wrong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sw22 0 Posted July 9, 2003 I only tried crossing the runway once and got shot half way accross. I probably didn't skirt round in a wide enough arc. I'll have to try it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
