Driving Katyush?????

afantom · 07-07-2004, 08:03 PM

Hi i am on the map with Katyush - i have killed everyone - but i cant seem to get the damn thing of the back of the train - or the train to move help

I really cant be bothered to blow all the tanks up individually that would take ages

ther is a smal depot on the left ttop side where you begin a garisson of troop where tracks lead to use the train (had 1 of you men get in) ride to train to this point you get a new objectief and then enter the katyush and use it to destroy the tanks
hoop this helps

The Katyusha (sp?) is not meant to get off the train wagon. You are supposed to drive the train into the west depot area so as to get the Katyusha to cover most tanks within its fire angle. You are on this mission, so you definately know how to redirect railtracks. Then you climb into the Katyusha and fire away (it has a pretty long minimum range, its accuracy is pretty low and it has a small firing angle, but it sure does blow stuff up

)

Other options are the ~10 dynamites that can be found in a truck or some crates (cant remember) somewhere in the rail station. Stack the tanks close to eachother (this is also recommended if you want to blow them up with the rocket launcher) and use the dynamites with some fuel barrels to enhance the effect.

Also, if you are wondering what the game means with "armored targets" is all tanks, excluding the ones on the train wagons, and not the armored cars either. I don't know if the Pz1 counts, but it's pretty easy to destroy nonetheless.

Im stuck on the last part of this mission. Mainly that I don't seem to be able to destroy all of the armoured targets with Katyusha. It doesn't include the tanks still on the train?

The Likelyhood of me being able to get anywhere near the base before the tank crews arrive is slim, nevermind blowing up the last couple of tanks.

I have aimed the fire cursor directly over the objective marker and I know the Katyusha has 2X16 salvos, but still I can't blow up every single tanks completly. Nearly always one or two left!

Where do I aim each salvo?

After clicking, I found the rockets fired in a round of 8, firing each rocket after a few seconds.

So what I did was set the game to slow motion and keep an eye on the ammo counter.
I then started the salvo by clicking once on a tank, then after the rocket had fired moving the cursor over the next one, waiting for it to fire, then moving onto the next tank and so on.

As a reply to Smokey, you don't have to destroy them all with the Katyusha, it's only a secondary objective. Personally I don't like the low accuracy, so I just do whatever I can and blow the rest up with dynamites and fuel barrels.
If you want to be effective with the rocket launcher, you have to drive the train back and forth and play around with the switch controls so as to get the train in the westmost track in the depot. Only then does its firing angle cover most armor.

There is a load of dynamite and tank destroying goodies in the German base at the far end of the map. Use these to finish off any armor that Katyusha does not destroy. You are unlikely to destroy all the armor with Katyusha alone as there is not enough ammo (except perhaps on easy difficulty).

I saved a rocket or two for blowing up the guard tower and fence to the eastern side of the east base to make it easier to sneak in a destory the last of the tanks...

Think this might be a bug... It seems the train (and not the katyusha) is unmoveable here...So I cant get the katyusha in place. Killed almost everything, i tried moving the train 10000 times with each soldier but nothing works. And yes i DID try direct control, it worked fine on the previous mission. Anyone else got this problem?
