Mission GDI 4A is impossible on Normal

[OLLI_S]

I play on "normal" difficulty but I can not win mission GDI 4A.
Tried it several times (about 10 times) but no chance.
No way to win
Any hints?

That's the one where you need to steal the Detonator from the Nod base, right?

From what I recall; load your infantry into the APCs, and just drive; ignore everything and just get the hell into the Nod base. You don't have to kill anything, or fight anything; just get in and grab the crate.

This is the strategy I used long ago and today.

Get all the troops in the APC fast; focus down the buggies, use the Humvee as bait. Up and around in a reverse U shape, use someone to distract the rocket dudes in the canyon, then drive right on past the Light tank into the nod base. You don't need to kill everything, just get to the crate with someone alive.

I manage to reach the base but the enemy tank is driving over my troups and killing them
This is so frustrating, no chance against the tank

I just completed this mission just drive one of your light tanks into the base then steal the detonator. then drive to the evac.. took me 1 hour to figure this one out.

You are only required to get a unit to touch the crate/box in the nod base (and not destroy anything or extract to a location afterwards). So just bum rush

Cool, with this information it was easy to win.

I used the Tiberium patch to my advantage by luring enemy infantry into it using my light scout. I kept my own APCs and infantry on the starting positions to kill enemies that survived crossing the Tiberium patch, especially those squads they send from time to time. Then, when I crossed my entire force across the patch, the only enemies left in the nearby area were the buggies. I managed to clear the central part of the map this way. I saved my APCs with little damage before rushing them via the north and east pathways. I was also able to explore about 95% of the map.

Fun fact: enemy won't start sending out attack teams if you go around the edge instead of taking the main road.
