Tanks undestroyable

[Dwarf Floyd]

There is a mission, where you first have to find the Documents of the colonel, and then destroy his Tank Convoy! But the tanks seem not to be a little bit damaged from my C4 I layed on the road! Can someone help me, who did stop the Tanks?

[Mentok the Mindtaker]

If you played Ground Zeroes, tanks take a lot of c4. They are tanks after all.

You need the rocket launcher, and even then, it took like 4 hits to blow up the tank. If u havent yet, upgrade the c4 to level 2 and research the rocket launcher (put everyone in to R&D until u hit level 12). Then, before u get the intel, place C4 on the road. Do 2 groups of 2, spacing out the groups so you can hit the first tank and the jeep that follows. As soon as you have the intel, get to a good vantage point and get ready to blow the c4. As soon as the first tank is over the last group, blow the c4 and with luck you'll blow it up and jeep too. They will stop and not know where you are so equip your rocket launcher and finish them before anyone figures out where you're shooting from.

On that mission i had the support team bombard the convoy, then i layd C4 on the ground, called in the air support, easy peasy.

I was too deep into the infiltration of the first set of buidlings to get back on the road into time to prep explosives. I ended up having to use D horse to chase them all the way to the place where they stop.

I failed a few of times. First time i planted single c4s on each tank. Didnt kill them, they immediately knew where i was and they killed me.

2nd time, i planted 2 c4s on each tank. Still didnt kill them.

3rd time, i planted 4 c4s on each. Killed one, the other survived.

4th time and final time, i planted 6 on each.

I didnt have high enough R&D or what ever to research rocket launchers.

R&D is tied to the number of people in the unit, so just move as many people as possible to R&D and you should be able to hit the minimum for the rocket launcher with no problems

[Kyorisu]

C4 works just fine. There's what 2 tanks? Take one down resupply and kill the other.

there is an armored vechicule with rocket launcher that you can steal father along the route to blow them up. after getting the documents question a soldier and they should tell you where it is

What DJmass said. Or you can always put 4xC4s for the 1st tank while RPG the 2nd tank. I extracted the Colonel cause his Battle Rank is an A.

How I tackled the 2nd tank is to aim at its fuel barrels (at the back) cause I believe the side has lots of armor on it. I run around and press Spacebar to jump into prone position quite a lot. Also RPG aren't reloadable when prone, you have to be on kneeling position at least to reload. Takes 4 RPGs for the tank to KABOOM!

I questioned an enemy soldier and he told me of a location to an unmanned armoured vehicle. Didn't need to use a single explosive as this APC type thing downs tanks in 4-5 seconds each

I followed after the convoy on horseback, thinking of hijacking one of the tanks if the driver got out, we passed by an outpost that had a rocketartillary/ APC hybrid, jumped in.... tanks took about 8 rounds each from the 30mm was suprised how quickly that thing took em out.

Yep, after several tries, I saw that little sucker standing around! So I was able to destroy both Tanks!

No unit's level is tied to the number of people in it, not directly anyway. The unit's level is tied to the rating each individual has in that particular area. So if you had 50 E-ratings in your R&D and I had 50 A-ratings in mine, I'd have a higher level R&D unit because the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. I honestly can't see how people think that quantity is better than quality....the game explains the ratings and unit level correlation very clearly.

Electro mines, and just send them off in a parasuite with driver and all :p

Better idea: replay "Angel With Broken Wings" and make sure to rescue the hostages on the third floor of the palace before they're executed (facing the entrance, take the stairs on the back right). One of these two is a transportation specialist, which unlocks Fulton Cargo 2.

Then, just rush the tanks and Fulton them as fast as possible, with the crews inside. Mission complete.

If the tanks are moving, stop them by placing an empty vehicle in the road ahead of them.

Stay prone but close. When the tanks stop, fulton them.

Not only do you get a tank and staff member, it counts as "eliminating" them.
