Pathfinder problem

[threat.at]

And again: the whole squad gets annihilated.

I tried several ways to solve this, also like it was explained here... (http://gamespot.com/gamespot/guides/pc/operation_flashpoint/p4_08.html)

When I kill the sniper on the other hill, then the squad survives longer  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rock.gif But not much - this has to do with an incapable commander and with the "visibility problem" I already posted on OPF2-Suggestions...

No matter what I do, in the end:

"I am the one and only"  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

And alone against 1 BMP, 1 Shilka and a dozend of ruskies? Only with a machine gun, without binoculars and grenades, with enemies, with make a headshot over 400 meters through bushes...pfff..

Does anyone have a tip? When the mission starts, we are like presented on a silver plate - standing on that meadow, observable for everyone... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/mad_o.gif

For the mission pathfinder, restart the mission and go by the right of village (alone), don&#39;t care about your squad, kill all the soldiers and find a law launcher if you need one, destroy the shilka, then go by the left of the road and stay near the bush, then follow the reminder of your squad.

First of all, you have M60.
I do it like that:
I place myself in one of the bushes in front of a village.
Then I wait until the first Red squad gets between a villige and my team.
I fire small bursts aiming carefully, untill the whole red squad is dead.
Take out the group on the villige street, then you can move a little to the right so U could see the sniper on the opposite hill.
Shoot the f....
You team should have dealt with the shilka and BMP by the time. You taks is to give them support, so do it.

When it is done, I run to the left (no go to village). I go until I can see the road leading to the next village. Again Hide in one of the bushes. Wait till they (russkies) come really close. Wipe them out. One of them had RPG. Take it as well as AK.

Now.
Follow to the road untill U can see troups in the next village. Hide in the bushes.
U need to make them come after U, cause they will kill your squad later on (the AH1 part).
Aim carefully. There is a mild downhill, so shoot everyone that comes out (single shots).

Now U can go back to your team far right. U&#39;ll should see last shilka in the middle of a village. Shoot it down from the distance.

There come choppers.

Stay there where U were. There U will wait for russan reinforcements giving you team chance to hide. Again shoot carefully.

There are many ways of doing that mission.
The most important is to think ahead.

yes Gordy think right, this mission is for the M60, you must get a good position to give a good cover for the squad, the shilka must be destroyed fast, take a look on the soldier law launcher if he is not dead first.
