Walkthrough
Enemy forces have deployed artillery across the river in response to recent operations. This was anticipated. Iron Nest has been cleared for active engagement under direct fire conditions for the first time.
Objectives
- Destroy the enemy field artillery first.
- Prepare follow-up shots before the first impact starts counter-battery pressure.
- After the artillery is down, clear the remaining hostile infantry while avoiding friendly troops.
Practical route
- Treat the first shot as the start of the clock. Set up the second shot before firing if possible.
- Field artillery buys the most survival value because it is directly tied to counter-battery pressure.
Start by plotting the mission map, then prioritize Field Artillery, Infantry. Counter-battery timer: Starts at 5:00 when triggered. Counter-battery time extension: Can add 100 seconds from mission progress. Set up the next shot before the first impact when possible.
