I did it roughly like this:
- go to gunner and kill visible patrol with HEAT
- get #3 out of BMP and into T80 as driver, leave #2 behind
- move forward and kill the enemy BMP
- switch to driver and drive along the coast, cut to the right and go around the base next to the sea so the units _in_ the base don't see you. Tell your gunner to kill the Shilka next to the base and BMP beyond it as you see them.
- continue on rapidly. When the first Mi17 appeared I stopped, switched to gunner and downed it with HEAT
- continue close to the shore, I managed to burn past the infantry with AT weapons without being hit
- after this about where the road up to the base is the 2nd Mi17 "got" my T80, so I had to continue on foot
- there's a retry position just before you get to the base (thank f***), a little over 5 mins left.
- it took a load of retries to get it right but I assaulted the base from the woods to the south. If you go down the back of the huts on the south side you can run past the BMP without it being able to react and get to Sergei.
- I told him to wait then grabbed a satchel from the boxes between the huts then sneaked to the BMP between the next huts and blew it.
- The odd soldiers were still around, killed these and saved.
- I took the slow route home. E&E isn't too hard on foot as choppers / tanks don't see you and there are plenty of woods.
- From the woods before the area with the first patrol I headed down to the seashore and ran like f*** to the extraction point. There an enemy or 2 shooting but too far away for them to hit.
