Anyone know how to save the pilots of the downed cobra? My team (for some reason endedup on the other side of the village and im covering both of em'. But their moving slow, so anyone knoww how i can get them to move!

Other then that ive used allot of vehicles. In the airfield mission i shot down the attack chopper were it needed allot of repai, so i went in it for like, 9 seconds before the mission was accomplished.

give them "move to grid reference" orders, usually works. Just saying "follow me" doesnt seem to work properly. Its damn annoying that part, i hated it. Damn buggy.

I will try that. Thanks, but also, how do i get the slow pilots to move? All their doing is like 1 step every minute, then going prone.

there is a "move fast" order...cant remember where exactly but it might be in Tactical.

FOZ_1983 10-12-2009 04:22 PM

move fast order (this is from memory) is i think (this is just d-pad commands) -


RIGHT/RIGHT/UP

Move fast basically makes the selected units move to the desired location at a fast pace, while also engaging enemies en route but not stopping to attack. They will just shoot while on the move :)

Need anymore help just post.

yep thats the one ORDERS.. MOVEMENT.. FAST MOVE thats how i got the pilots and rest of my team to haul ass to the lz

oh it helps if you hang back A bit and pick off any troops trying to pick your team off :grin:

FOZ_1983 10-12-2009 05:47 PM

my tactic that i found worked very well was to kep echo team alive (the team you support at the beggining)......

they will help you then from start to finish.

BEFORE going to the spot and meeting the pilots, clear out the entire village and destroy the 2 APC's that turn up (getting the bonus achievement in the process). Once everything is destroyed or killed, RV with the pilots and get them the hell out of their. You will meet some units on the way to the extraction but dont worry, a little bird will deal with them :D

Hmm...i may have torestart the mission but idc, i just want to extract both pilots, not just one (I like pilots, so rescueing both is a BONUS!!!!)

ok what i would do if you want to keep both pilots alive is to get to the house they are holed up in but dont enter and release the pilots get your men in a defencive position around the area take out all the forces in the village first then rescue the pilots you should have a few units in the woods to your right as you exit the village but if you kept echo alive they will attack em also give your team and the pilots the haul ass order straight away then hang back a bit and take out the troops that drop from the transport helo also if you took out the aa position before you head to the crash site you will get a little bird to help you when you do rescue the pilots :grin::grin:

hope this helps

I might have to do that again, becuase I ran out of ammo in the village, I had to make it to the extraction point using nothing but my pistol and telling my guys to sprint there lol Bullets were kicking up everywhere and there's no point returning fire with the MEU lol And sadly one of the crew died in egress.
