Clearing missles of ohio class

[casperorillian]

Does anyone have any advice on how i am even supposed to do this? I understand that I need to crane them out from the top but I cant even get close enough to see the missiles to hit them with the radio. Am I missing a trick or something?

Hitting them with the radio is the easy part. You should be able to see the very tip of the missile from far enough away that you won't die. Torching open the closed doors is harder. I crouched and inched forward just far enough to be able to cut the torch lines then immediately backed away.

The whole thing takes a long time and depends on precise movement. A step too far in one direction can result in you fainting. It'll probably take over an hour to remove all the missiles. There are a lot more than the ten mentioned in the achievement.

The worst case is a missile in its tube, with the door welded over the top. You have to remove the door, then back off immediately, then call the crane in to remove the missile. You don't need to winch the door to the tube away before using the crane.

Watch the exit hole of the tubes as you walk up to it, because sometimes the door has already been removed but there's still a missile in the tube. If you're not looking for the tip of the missile you won't notice it, and you'll walk up to it.

You can get closer to the welding strip with less exposure by crouching down as you approach it. Yes, I know that wouldn't work in real life.
