[SP] Proof and scanners

How the heck do you keep the 4 scanners up? I've tried many loadouts and the closest I've gotten was killing one bomber with speed, disk, GL, and the lame RL. They either pummel me if I stay out too long or whack a tower if I dash in to re-equip to much.

The last time I took a look around to see if I was missing anything. Noticed a turret was down. Does that need to be up to take out the heavies?

just kill the bomber as fast as possible using the RL, maybe use the base as cover while you guide the rockets at range

kill tanks with constant mortar pressure and grenades

Remember to use cover where possible, and that there IS a definite "blind spot" that the gunners cant get at you with. While you are attacking the bomber it will veer off from attacking the sensors so play dodge-em till you can get in a few good shots with the RL, and dont forget the speed pack, fire off a round of rockets, hit the speed pack and then you can usually squeeze off two more rounds one right after another... thats a total of 18 rockets in the air almost at once! Also, aiming with the RL is a good idea.

Just use cover to your best advantage, dont get too far from the base, and you should be okay. Also remember the tank REALLY wants to kill YOU, and it will forget about the gens if it can go after you instead. I managed to do a good number on the tank with mortarts and the RL (and the energy pack and burner for the ground troops). The burner does HELLACIOUS damage if you can lay a few direct hits on either an enemy footsoldier or even the tank. (and remember, damage IS cumulative) :D

disk + speedpack.

disk will kill the tg's in bomber. Then just chain or use rocket pod.

I just did HD with a repair pack. If the bomber got a few good hits on me, I retreated back into the base, hit the resupply station, and popped back out on the roof.

When the tank came, I just retreated back into the base, killed all the ground troops as they approached each doorway, and then went out and owned the tank.

That level was a bitch on hard. Took me a good hour and a half to beat it all the way through.

The only advice I have is - shield pack, shield pack, shield pack. Set up the two turrets atop the little "doorway overhangs" (dunno how else to describe them) in the base, and the repairer between the resupply station and the generator.

To destroy the bombers and tanks, use hand grenades and discs, or RP at long range. For the satellites, you have to make sure to kill the heavies mortaring them more than you have to worry about the bombers.

once you learn the trick to the stupid RL it's not as bad although still somewhat tough... here's the thing when you use the RL keep aiming at the target after you fire, i think it follows the reticle a bit after you fire... or at least I have way more luck using it when I do that

This is how I did it too. The Assault Ships move so predictably that you can nail 'em at long range with the disker. If you want to get fancy you can grapple the sucker and burnerize it to death once the side gunners are toast (it only takes 2 or 3 hits on the front end to do 'em in).

The RP makes a real mess of the tank in very short order. Just stay out of the main gun's way!

Oh, don't forget about the heavies that come in from the sides to mortar the scanners too! If you don't take 'em out, they will do a perty serious amount of damage to 'em.

1: grapple onto the assault ship, hit it with nades and disk or RL

2: repair the chaingun turret, chain it from afar.

3: Burner.

Hell I beat it by using the turret to take out the vehicles. Just sat in there and hammered them. You can hit the bombers from a long ways away. You see the arrows but not the ship. Just lead the arrow and hammer away.

I beat it on all levels this way...I thought it was the easiest.

on hard i used the RL and just sat on top of my base and just jumped to the resupply station if i needed health. i used a shield pack.
