BATTLE COMMAND HINTS





Typed by SIDEWINDER of LSD.








Nice thought isn't it?  Driving around in a powerful tank, blasting the enemy


and generally protecting the innocent from the vicious dictators.  This is


what you can do in BATTLE COMMAND but that's only good news if you've


mastered it yet!


Here's some helpful guides to some of the missions to help you get the most


out of your trusty tank.





AIRFIELD ATTACK


Make sure you destroy all the buildings near the runways and any other in the


vicinity.  For this reason you need to make sure that you're stocked up on IR


surface-to-air missiles.





HIDEOUT


The only way to complete this mission is by using mortars - it's a good idea


to take two sets of mortars with you.


When you reach the circle of mountains use the exterior views at maximum


distance to find the exact location of the target then use the mortars, set


at around 500-700 yards, to blast it.





DESTRUCTION


Try to avoid the crossroads where possible, as there are always gun


emplacements based at them.


If you are short of ammo and still have a lot of buildings to destroy, sit


next to them and wait for the enemy to fire on your position, then move out


the way.  Their shots will do the task well!





MISSILE BATTERY


This is pretty straight forward so keep your head and push on!





SATELLITE


To begin with, head south-west across the bridge then follow your scanner.


If your rear-end starts to get badly damaged, driving around backwards can


help balance it out, as well as giving you the chance of blasting any enemies


that try and follow you.


When you reach the satellite, remember to drive into it slowly.





KAMIKAZE


Forget about the roads and travel south-east until you come to where the


river and mountains nearly meet instead.  Now whiz through the gap to the


pick-up point to escape.


Remember to take plenty of air-to-air weapons and self-protection systems.





U-BOMB


One clue to this mission is to note the fence at the entrance of the valley


works by electricity - and the electricity pylons are on the other side of


the river.


Try to blow up the U-Bomb with Dragonflies for some spectacular results!





GENERAL HINTS


When the chopper arrives at the pick-up point try to destroy all the enemies


in the area; there's nothing worse than getting blown-up as you board the


chopper!


When using the pulverisor cannon set your binoculars at maximum magnification


for greater accuracy.


Use trees and buildings for cover if you're being pursued.


Destroy enemy aircraft as soon as possible to strengthen your position and


note that you can also use surface-to-air missiles to blast ground targets.


One last thing - keep moving!





End.
