Mission 4: Die Hard Attack - p. 2 MoW: Vietnam Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

New objective: Destroy the enemy air defense batteries.

Place the mortars in [31] and hide them among the trees and bushes. Mark each as a separate control group using Shift + digits. You have to kill all the enemy infantry that may destroy or damage your tanks, including those soldiers who operate mortars in [32] and [33]. It is a quite time-consuming task but it's not difficult. If you lose some of your men, you can always call an infantry squad and replace the dead soldiers. From now on till the end of the mission you'll be able to call two infantry squads.

Make sure the enemy mortars are in the range of yours and start bombing them. The opponent will try to replace each mortar crew with new soldiers and this behavior will help you. Just keep aiming at the mortars all the time. Don't wait for the reloading when controlling one of the mortars. Shoot and then immediately select the next mortar by pressing the key bound to it. Save your game frequently and don't forget to kill enemy soldiers in [34].

After a long battle the vicinity of [32] and [33] should be clear. Well, an enemy tank will remain but it's not worth the bother. Call your own tank and wait until it arrives. Place it behind the rocks in [35] - in a way shown in the picture below. From this position you'll be able to take out the crews of the anti-aircraft cannons in [36]. Make sure that the front part of your tank is facing the anti-aircraft cannons directly. Only the front of your tank is heavily armored, so it's the only way to save it from major destruction or getting immobilized.

New objective: Eliminate enemy officers.

After you've completed the previous mission objective you'll get some air support, even though you don't really need it that much. Move your tank to the edge of the map in [37] and then turn and stop in the vicinity of [38]. You must watch out for any enemy support that may come from [39]. It could be a tank or an APC with infantry. But there's no point in waiting for it. Destroy the guard tower and the checkpoint in [40] by shooting from your cannon. Eliminate the enemy infantry using a heavy machinegun.

It's fair to say that the tank is nearly indestructible as long as you remain cautious. Remember to shoot at the enemy soldiers from a safe distance (use your map and search for the red dots to locate the enemies). Otherwise, they might bring your heavy machinegun operator down. A moment's inattention and they can kill your entire crew because after one soldier dies, another takes his place. Eliminate all opponents until you're able to place your tank in [40] safely. Watch out for the abovementioned support here. If it's an enemy tank, then it'll probably destroy yours, but you can call another one (meaning, the last one). But if the support is an APC, you'll have no problem destroying it and killing its crew. In this case, kill the heavy machinegun operator first and then get rid of the rest of enemies (for example, you can run them over).

Remember that some of your soldiers have toolboxes that allow you to repair your tank. So, if the enemy had damaged your tank (e.g. destroyed a track), repair it and continue to fight. It's time to complete the mission objectives. Place your tank in [40] and shoot a few times at the officers' hut in [41]. This should suffice but if they aren't dead, use the heavy machinegun.

New objective: Destroy the helicopters.

Don't be surprised if the enemy helicopters had already been shot down by your allies - it's highly possible. Otherwise, just destroy them with your tank. Two or three shots shall do the trick. The enemy helicopters should be landing in [42] and [43]. If there aren't any, you need to wait for them to land. In the meantime, you can eliminate the infantry surrounding the area.

New objective: Destroy enemy tanks.

Your allies will complete this mission objective almost every time. It's a secondary objective, so you just might as well skip it. But if you want to do it yourself, just look for the enemy tanks on your map. You should have no problem with destroying them as you have the significant advantage of fire and men. You can also use air support that is shown in the picture below.

New objective: Obtain the documents from the officers' hut.

The last mission objective is as easy as pie. Clear the area from the enemy infantry using the tank and then send a soldier to the officers' hut in [41]. Press the Tab key to lighten up items and pick up the bag with secret documents. You'll complete the mission successfully.
