Actual that one does there are scav turrets further down, along with a small bunch of units if you destroy those then the mission marker does vanish like it should.Sensor base on Alpha 02
...still doesn't seem to be clearing up completely:
Lancers / Tanks Killers doesn't really make any odds going head to head still not a good idea unless you want to be taking heavy causalities, there not so bad on easier difficulties but kinda nasty on insane, which is of course why i tend to use artillery a lot.And those are only lancers. Tank killer (and especially the VTOL weapon) is a scary thought for insane difficulty.
Depends, if you are doing the easy thing and simply recovering the artefact and pulling out then you are probably right.Actually, no, I didn't (and it'd be a good thing to test when I get back to Beta 04, too). It's never come up the way I do Beta 04. With my approach, you don't need to deal with either of the bases on the stage to complete it. I'm not sure having to take those on just to stop the VTOLs is a useful trade-off - it'd mean you'd spend a lot more time on the stage and presumably you're subject to the VTOL waves until that point?
If however you are going for the total annihilation victory then yes it is because the level is easier when you are not getting pounded from the air, and while you might be subject to air attack till you can shut them down 18 AAA will make short work of there VTOLs and positioned correctly they will never actually get anywhere near you because your AAA will have them off before they get the chance, on occasion they will try to go after your AAA but if they are built with heavy bodies and tracks then they should be sturdy enough to survive at least on the easier difficulties, not so sure about insane though haven't gotten that far yet.
The 1 exception to this is when they are using lancer/tank killer vtols in previous versions they actually had to be nurfed because they where way to powerful although if i recall that's because there was a bug that made them more powerful then they should be, I'll have to wait and see how they are now.
