change to level.

[MeatShield]

im currently playing the level on the game where you go to the enemy base in the urban map and need to capture the sat. now, iv tried to play this level over and over. its either the artillary from their base plows you over since you are now in reach or the vtol's destroy all your units when you just get a new shipment of people.

im asking for the vtols to come in at a later moment of the level or no vtol at all.

i can beat this level, but i am on easy just to whip through the game again. all the other levels are easy, this one may be to much for someone's first go around at the game.

so i found another map. its Sub_2_7.

so here is what iv got the last 20 times iv tried this map, my trucks both get destroyed in less than a min by a wave of vtol's. a next wave destroys 2 tanks, some hover tankkillers show up, and the waves of vtols keep coming. i die in less than a min and a half when the transport takes 3 min...
iv tried many different ways, i tried no trucks, half tanks half anti air, iv tried so much. the vtols are to strong, they kill the truck, what ever your building at the same time. if they didnt have any vtols in the beginning of the map, that would give a chance.

its ridiculous.... they kill you in a split second.

[Olrox]

its ridiculous.... they kill you in a split second.

Are you building defenses in the LZ?
And repair facilities?

here is a time line

you land
you start building AA
one truck and AA building in progress gets destroyed, by wave A of vtols
you second truck finishes
before you start another build the B wave shows up and destroys it.
4 tank killer hovers show up,
wave a comes back and kills 2-3tanks
wave b comes and kills 2-3 tanks
the tank killers clean up

total time. 1 min and 30 seconds.
transport time is 3 min.....

the last time i played this mission was on Playstation 1. so it was a little different, the game has changed alot, alot in the radar and AI. thats a good and bad thing.

Hmm. Bring AA tanks? Build lancer bunkers to stall the TKs?

I was thinking 'bout that too
But heck, I've almost forgot that there's the lancer bunker in campaign. Those ones are fast to build and are very effective against tanks.

ya see, i tried that last night.

[Zarel]

ya see, i tried that last night.

...you'll have to be more specific.

[MeatShield]

Bring AA tanks and Build lancer bunkers to stall the TKs. the vtols kill the trucks and the splash destroys the buildings before i can build anything. im on easy btw

try to dont move your units since they arrive, until second reinforcements. May be some triggers wont trig, so enemy will not come. I remember used to hack like this in old days

[MeatShield]

nope, tried that. that use to work on the ps1 version...

[kringled]

What kind of tanks are you using? Is incoming artillery fire still part of the problem, or have you been able to deal with that? In the last campaign level I was playing with 2.3b12 (beta 9 level), while the Collective TK units were dangerous, they weren't lethal to my heavy units (tracked pythons) when they started in good shape. Hover units were a different story.

You mean you're using this truck?
Try to write things in a more complete manner, this way you avoid unnecessary questions like this

You need 6 trucks and 4 tanks. Have 3 trucks immediately start building whirlwind AA down the left side of the Lz and across the back. And have the other 3 trucks building lancer hard points across the front of the LZ. Whirlwinds will kill the birds and the tanks and the hard points will kill off the enemy hover craft. You should have reinforcements on the way. Once you wipe out the attacking vtols there won't be any more. You can pretty well wipe out the map with artillery after that. There will be attacks from the north but your tanks can take care of that. have your trucks build ripple rockets and then just start building sensor towers.
