TCS - What's the Strat?

[OKMB]

Playing on D6, and this mission is extraordinarily difficult - haven't been able to get a single tower yet. Any advice?

Hope the devs fix the jank before the order is lost. See also: All the people reporting managing to finish and then it throwing a fit and not finishing, resetting goals, etc.

People will blame skill issues and friendly fire, but once you start making sure nothing you have is or can hurt your own goals, you will realize it is not your fault.

The bug spawns are the same. 1 on each side. So my team had 2 nade launchers on one side and 2 arc thowers on the other side. We posted up further closer to the bug spawns to kill them before they emerge. If the biles or chargers emerge we would try to run to one side away from the obj and bomb it.
It seemed that the smaller mobs would head for the obj while the heavies would try to attack the players.
Also using explosives near the tower will damage it, it took me a minute to realize it and had to aim the nades further away or just focus on bug spawns.

Focus on one tower at a time as a team, and set up minefields and turrets (not mortar obviously).

Once you hit the button to begin the countdown all bugs (big and small) ignored our team and focused on the tower.

Just use turrets and it's just an idle game.

crowd control weapon lik mgs , flame and arc are kinda obligatory since you dmage the tower with most stratagems

Wait for everyone to get to one tower before activating it.

Everyone should watch different angles instead of tripling or quadrupling down on the same spawn.

Glance at the tower itself every once in a while to make sure no bugs slipped past you.

Don't throw airstrikes/orbitals too close to the tower or use the mortar sentry, since they damage the tower. EMS mortar is fine and very good.

If you fail, clear the area out before hitting the button again.

Focus on 1 tower at a time, bring mines and turret(the maned one is also great). Place mines on the "wild land" and turret on high ground. Try to avoid carpet bomber or things like them, because the tower will get hit as well. You dont always needs to stick together, sometimes split in 2 groups can help cover more angle, each group have a diver focus on mines and turret, another diver focus on defending themselves and anti tank

One tower, bring turrets and a reliable AT weapon. Works like a charm.

[Wutever]

Just time Clusters or Airbursts on the breaches, have an EAT lying around in case a Charger spawns. Autocannon does wonders against bugs, as usual. Turrets are good, but you gotta watch your placement or the turret can kill the tower. Mechs are nice, but I assume you don't have access to them if you play on D6.

If you split up around the tower it should be pretty easy.

Be careful of damaging the tower yourself with strikes and whatnot. Had a guy not realise for ages that his mortar was damaging the tower while it killed the enemies surrounding it.

Once you realise that it becomes pretty easy.
