Issues with Vega mission and the "Special Tank"

[agentfrosty86]

I keep failing the part of the mission where you return the Sherman to the Integrators. Well, not really failing it, but I get the tank in time, the dialog pops like it's supposed to, I return the tank with more than a couple minutes to spare. The Integrators agree to pull out and begin to do so, then something happens and they go hostile again saying I've "broken their agreement."

This wouldn't really bother me that much, I think I have enough to kill them, it's just that... BIG BOB IS STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM. They go hostile and he instantly dies from concentrated fire. I refuse to lose Big Bob. Anybody know what's causing this?

Is there any fighting nearby? If they eat a stray bullet, it will turn them hostile. I had that issue in Santa Fe with spider tanks walking through the Integrators lines, and again with the Cartel in Nueva Torguga during an arena fight.

I usually drive the tank in front of their path then abandon it and give them a wide berth.

I figured it out finally after several more tries. The damn Integrator Infantry keep walking across the minefield along the eastern side of the southern checkpoint where they come in at. Not even my units' mines. Kinda BS if you ask me... Guess I'm going to have to reload the whole mission and have a unit that can clear those mines take care of them before anything starts, otherwise they're going to continue to keep walking over them.

I tell ya, I really like this game, but also really hate it. It's at once incredibly micromanagement-intensive and yet takes so much ♥♥♥♥ out of your hands and places it in the incompetent grip of the AI or RNG that it is incredibly frustrating. I've reloaded more saves in this game than pretty much any other RTS I've ever played. Smdh

Yeah, it's truly both love and hate relationship at the same time. Stupid as it sounds, but I've felt this exact thing with Dark Souls :D

Perfect analogy. Love and hate relationship.

I killed them all, then returned the tank after their death, it worked every time...
