Can't get past a campaign mission: "Destroy Dropship Command Center"

[varanzmaj]

Help?! Anyone?

I can destroy all the enemies, but can't target the drop center with my LRM Trebuchet. What gives???

How do I kill this building before the timer runs out?

Im getting desperate is there any way to "cheat" past this mission?

I drove a mech onto the pad nearby and shot the wall down to create line of sight to the structure, then you can sensor lock it or target it with things that are in range, including LRM.

I sprinted/jumped to get there (lots of evasion) and ignored the mechs. Took it out with missiles and then jumped down to be extracted.

And don't forget to brace...

idk.. i just killed all the enemy mechs and the building and still had 3 turns left.. since the game seems to not think u should be able to do this i had to run to the LZ even tho there where no enemy forces left.. with my 4 legged mechs.. took me another 7-8 turns :D

Jump jets are key there. If you can get a mech onto the hill that building is on, then other mechs can inderectly fire missles on it. You have to have line of sight to it with one mech though.

no, it's the one where you have to secure a spot, from there, you steal the enemies turrets and descend on them.

includes one heavy, and it's a dragon

Ah ok, thought I was going mad. Thanks for the help guys.

I haven't played this mission yet but I already see those tanks. If you haven't you're lucky.

Yes it also has about 6 to 8 srm boats at the start guarding the turret controls.

Mission was a ♥♥♥♥♥, my main toon got take out for 94 days (died essentially) in this another had to eject, I ran my evasion guy round the back and killed the facility with 1 turn to spare, like a film timer haha

I rushed my jump Panther down to teh left from start area, jumped down after enemy mechs pushed towards my main force, and then had it haul ass to the objective to nuke it; then i mopped up for parts

Have your Jenner sprint along the edge of the map, then jump into the area with the control module while your other three deal with the tanks. I got chewed up a bit on the way to the evac point, but ended up with the Dragon as salvage.

Precision strikes on legs, and called shots on the other legs when downed. Builds are important, though. I threw on some more armor by junking some jump jets and refitting ammo placement into legs, and utilized weapons slots/tonnage better than stock config.
