Help with mission - destroying tanks with mines

[aeroengr7 0]

Here's the problem.  I laid down the mines, ended up taking out two of the tanks.  Wasted the guys that somehow lived through me blowing up the tanks.  Leader was wasted by bad guys.  So before I get up to the rendevouz point the APC I'm supposed to get into is blown up my something.  Not sure what, didn't see, but I suspect a T-80.  So I head down to the village south and waste those guys, scavange some russian rockets and blow up that tank.    I head up to the NATO base and carefully proceed to waste everyone there and then blow up the remaining tanks.  

So now in my journal it shows that the objective of destroying the tanks has been accomplished.  The second objective, of course, is to meet up with the APC -who were blown up early on.  So what the #### do I do now?  I got in the jeep by the woods south of the NATO base and pretty much drove all over the southwest part of the island till I accidentally hit a building and f*ck*ed up the truck.  So then I walk all up and down the western half of the island and most all of the eastern half.  Eventually I became disgusted and turned of the PC.  

So my question, again - what the #### are you suppossed to do/where the #### do you go if you have completed the objective but the people who are suppossed to meet you are dead?

Thanks.

Beats me.

Try starting the mission again, and lay mines on the side of the road. Don't place any directly on the road, because your leader already put one there - the first tank will hit it, but the other tanks will drive around it. So place mines a few metres back from your leader's first mine, on both sides of the road.

Grab the LAW, get in a bush and wait. Observe the tanks and watch where they go when the first tank blows up, and adjust your mines' positions for your next attempt. If you place them well, you should get all 4 tanks with mines. Watch out for enemy crews, and get over to the M113 to finish the mission.

When the first tank will be destryed the other will go right or left. Place bombs on right, left off the road, and grab LAW launcher. Stay there. Just T72's will left, if they will. Grab LAW and destry it. If you'll be out of LAW'a go to ammo crates and try to pick up more of it.

Now I do not have to repeat all that have already been said.....of course. But I hope I can ask you a question:

How the #### did you have the patience to drive around the whole f**king island, looking for a solution?!

Oh, and I suggest you hide in a bush up in the hillside. There you will be safe and have a good shot at the tanks.

lol, i loved that mission, was so fun. weee.

i lub blowin up em tanks hehe.

id just take the advice the others take, make sure u swiftly destroy all tanks before ur transport gets there.

I've replayed the mission and beat it. No problem. But

there really should be some time of system in place so that

if the guys you need to meet up with get killed, you can still complete the mission. I mean, I lived, I killed every living thing on the island, but there was no way to get back to friendly troops. Isn't this suppossed to be realistic?

I loved that mission too. Great atmosphere, great sunrise, and a lot of LAW rockets. I was right next to the crates and picking LAW's like mags of rifles. Mines destryd only T80 and one T72. I have to destroy the others with the LAW. It was fun.

I am on that mission right now, after reverting and starting over. However, it seem that those tanks have got eyes in their ass after patching to 1.27. I am immediately discovered and killed without firing a single shot. Unless I hide in a bush. But then, if I fire I am spotted.

Aaaahrgghhh..... release 1.28 soon.

I hate that level.

I loathe it.

Its the most boring level in the whole game.

one time the M113 got blown up but i still managed to finish the mission just by running to where i should have met it. weird eh?

oh yeah- i think the enemy seeing through bushes is fixed in version 1.30 dowload it and see.

[PolariZ 0]

Well, they still see a little to good. I replayed campaign after 1.30, and was gunned down on level three. First by a guy 100 metres away, with only half my head sticking over an edge. In the dark, with his attention turned to the other forces 45 degrees away from me. Heh..... Fixed you said.

Second time, it was by a red behind fallen tree. A BMP had knocked it over, so that it covered my view towards him like a wall. And I mean a big and whole wall..... I think it is because fallen trees does not count as cover, when the AI view is calculated. I wonder if this has ever been adressed by BIS.....

make sure u r far away enough from those mines on the road....one time i used them in other mission (brother in arms), i got all blown up even i was hiding inside a house may be 30, 40 meters away when the tank blew up on the mines.... :-/
