Comanche 4 SP...

[sabbey]

Anyone know of a decent FAQ with tips on each of the levels? Stuck on the third mission of the second campaign IIRC. Keep getting a mission failure notice, that Bravo Team is dead at the same point each time, right after taking out the stealth boat. Problem is, I can't target them to find/help the idiots before they are taken out... ;)

What is the name of the mission ?

[sabbey]

Well I am on Ice Box now. What a stupid level... ;)

EDIT: If only the targeting worked, maybe this level would be worth playing. Guess this will be on the shelf from now on. Really, Novalogic likes to screw over gamers by making a hard game harder by either unbalancing the gameplay or they are just bad game designers. Now, I remember why I rarely buy their games anymore. :4B:

Anyone know if the mission editior can be used on the SP missions. Looks like I'll need to finish this level, since it's obvious Novalogic never did...

Well, before you go and edit the mission ( it can be done ).. Let me crank up the game and take a look. The missions are all capable of being completed. I'm in the middle of a few things - including getting some terrains and maps uploaded for C4.. so give me a day or two. Maybe someone else will beat me to it.

In the meantime... try out these two links...

This is the only game FAQ I could find for C4. It does have some tips for each mission though. Hope it helps you out.

Thanks guys, in the meantime I think I'll try another level... :)

As you follow your waypoints (as quickly as possible) you will find yourself approaching a coastline dotted with enemies firing at you. This is where the boat crew is. Hold your position and fire upon the resistance. You will be informed that the mission has changed. The boat crew loads and heads toward you (and so do helicopters and boats, including the target boat. Waste no time doing away with the normal engagements and keep yourself above your boat crew. I admit it is difficult to fly backwards, protect the crew AND destroy the boats but it can be done! Although you can not lock on the target boat you can place it in your crosshairs and dump what you have on its deck. You'll make it. I am not a great pilot and I know that if I can do it anybody can. Timing, practice and lunacy (works for me).

My problem is, somehow, even if I bypass W1 and go around to W2, Rescue 1 is still activated and destroyed. I do get a message about the armor on the ground when I get near W2, so I might be going too far up before taking out the enemies on the ground at that point. But so far, I have yet to even hear the W2 reached message...

Man, I must be doing something wrong! Though I seem to get further along, then the craft is destroyed and takes forever to get back that far again. Too much a hassle and not balanced in the way they set the mission up IMO. So far each of the levels didn't have the "mission" copters come in until the area was clear. Kind of stupid to do otherwise, actually, even more so to have a single hit take the thing down! :D

My only real complaint though; The targeting is not working! I have it on "Nearest" and was clicking it to no avail, even when there was an enemy practically right in front of me. Bad programming? Must be!:bigun2:

EDIT: Sheesh, I finally got past it. This time I used mostly the tracking Stingers and occasionally used Hellfires. The helicopter part was easier than the rest regardless, though used the infinite weapons/mega hit points codes. All in all, a **** hard mission even with them on...

BTW, I also noticed that the targeting of enemies was working better, there must be something about it I missed before. Since I was able to takeout each enemy off the map slowly while moving forward. While, before there were enemies firing at me that weren't getting targeted. Oh well, this is one hell of a fun game, but that mission had me almost ready to give up. Don't like moving to another level without completing the previous first. ;)
