USA mission 3 How to destroy a bridge?

[Corsin]

So im on the USA mission 3 (i think its 3?) where you take the town and then get ordered to blow a bridge...

HOW THE FK DO I DO THAT?

OMFG its driving me nuts, ive had sappers put bombs on the bridge, - Nothing,
Ive had the howitzer shoot it - Nothing
I ive had the tanks shoot it - Nothing....

Then a King-tiger rolls up and just fks you. Like WTF

[Randombandit]

is that the one where the guy asks "can we rig it?" and the other guy gives him the OK? I dont think you can blow it up, but you can plant remote charges on it then when the tigers come across you detonate them and make a mess of it all.

Nah its where that Arsey LT is like "Rig one of the bridges"

and then he's like "Ok Blow it..... Blow it!"

And im like... stood there with my penis in my hand like "Well... would if i knew how".

I didn't get it either, but you don't really need it to win (on normal, at least).

I've placed 2 tanks on top and barricaded them, and everything else was covering bridges in town. It was enough to hold before receiving "retreat objective".

[Randombandit]

hmm...i wonder if that is one where the fk up guy fails to do yet another thing (rigging the bridge) and you have to kill the tiger then he gets yelled at yet again for not doing his job. I am not gonna run it right now, but maybe tomorrow i'll see. There are too many "blow up the bridge, and a dont let them blow up the bridge missions that I cant recall this one exactly

Yeah one of the tanks runs out of fuel on retreat though lol, totally shafted me when the KT chased me down the road.

(look at the minimap)

This mission is driving me fkin insane, and about to earn a negative review, its nuts that ive gotta try to work out what some game-dev was thinking when he made this stupid mission.

They really need to work on an outline of what the objectives actually are.... "Retreat from the town" is vague as fk.

Wait till you get to German campaign

These campaigns in general seem stupid.... "Take out the town of 200 germans, with 18 infantry... while 3 tanks watch".

Like wtf

[joamsons]

The third mission is "Operation Luttich" under the Falaise Pocket Campaign. Blowing up the bridge, unlikely (but if anyone does please share). When you inflict much damage to the enemy, the game will say that you have defended the town and orders you to retreat. That's how the story goes.

[roxp]

haha same on epic lvl it is impossible to win because AI just drives with tanks across shrugging shells from sherman, if there was -1 bridge it's doable.

[alexandrebestetti]

Just leave an unit near the retreat point (it's shown when the retreat order is given). I've escaped with a single sherman. Btw, this is a typical Mow mission...

[Maple Leaf]

If you click save at the extraction point, the mission will end successfully, at least for me
There are still many bugs in this game, at least my extraction point was occupied by a Tiger.

Part of the story is that the Sgt. leading the engineers doesn't want to listen to orders from the Lt. and doesn't want to rig the bridge because he wants to take down more German soldiers. You can't destroy the bridges for this mission. Position guns and tanks to be able to take side shots on things crossing the bridges. You can still rig the bridges to blow the tanks, the bridge will remain intact. When I played this, I lost all my armor, had 1 AT gun left that was damaged, and infantry was also heavily damaged. Then the script played out to retreat, so it felt like you're supposed to sustain heavy losses here.

I had one I struggled with....took the castle ruins and it told me to take up positions in the city (Hit H to see conversation history if stuck). So I did, but also held the castle....then I looked at the red objective arrow and moved stuff to where it said....lost my mind....then hit H and reread and they said (leave the castle to someone else, you get back to the city....retreated EVERYONE from the castle and BAM it went.

Yeah, Germany's entire campaign is confusing as hell.

Constant narrative of pre-war nostalgia and fights for no reason in an already lost war.
