===============

Situation

Our Intel raid really paid off. I've been able to piece together the purpose of Ion Corp's business venture on Tanoa. Unfortunately it seems we have actually been playing into their hands. Originally they were hoping to foment conflict on the Islands by arming various criminal groups, having them threaten the local government. But since we've been causing mayhem ourselves, Ion has simply used our presence as an excuse to take over security on Tanoa. We've been doing them a favor by attacking them.

We do have one advantage though. They're not actually looking to control Tanoa outright, they just wanted an excuse to build up major military infrastructure on the Islands, and then sell the resulting installations to CSAT for a huge profit. The Centrepiece of their venture is the Island of Tuvanaka. They've been restoring and rebuilding various facilities on the island, and it will be offered to CSAT as a complete pre-packaged base of operations for the entire Area, with pre-packaged subdued local government to boot. If we can sufficiently degrade and destroy Ion military installations on Tuvanaka, we can make their Venture near worthless.

Mission

Demolition is the name of the Game. But first we have to get on the island, and we need to bring a lot of explosives. To that end we're going to need to steal an Ion Helicopter and load it with explosive satchels and fly it to Tuvanaka. Ion has as helicopter operating from a small base they have near Georgetown. We will clear that base, drive in our explosives cache, load the helo and head to Tavanka.

I will land the helo on the Eastern edge of the Island. You can steal some wheels from the nearby firing range if you want to drive around the island. Otherwise you'll be on foot.

There are 3 targets to destroy.
- Comms Whiskey Radio Tower
- GSM Station Radio Tower
- Airport Storage Containers

Security at each location is relatively low, as Ion is stretched thin across the Archipelago. However they have a rapid reaction forces that will quickly move to intercept you. Expect motorized and possibly airlifted forces to be sent against you.

I will stand guard at the helo and do drone recon for you. But I won't be able to defend the helicopter if Ion tries to attack it. Be ready to return to the helo at any minute to defend it... and me.

Once all targets are destroyed. Return to the helo for extraction.

Nice mission, very enjoyable. Good sniping practice. I found just one bug: the landing spot for the helicopter is on a mountain slope, so it crashes upon takeoff. No big deal, since it is at the end of the mission.

I had a time with this one, but managed it eventually - SP with AI help!

Made a few changes. Should help keep Highres alive while you go about your mission. However keep in mind there may be situations (which are communicated) that require you to return to his location. Keep an eye on Task updates.

again this highres shit and I am not going to try it again. What can I do to protect this persona if it is at the mercy of a patrol somewhere unknown. I will go to the next mission. Except for this problem, a VG mission.

Ok, I will be waiting ... but what about episode 04, did you make it easier, while not 'easy' ?

To avoid spoilers : This may be because Highres (the pilot) got attacked by wandering patrol, I have some that are somewhat randomized and can stumble on him. Part of the mission is indeed keeping him alive, but if there is no warning, hard to do. I'll see if there is a way to better isolate him. Thanks again for the feedback, much apprecited.

I started the mission and it was much easier than the previous one (see comment) but there is a bug : when reaching the firing range, there is a message and its aborts the mission; all backups lost !
