Marine Campaign, 3rd Mission *SPOILER ALERT*

The main problem with those T-62, as I myself found out ;), is that they have ERA on them. While the SMAWs have a decent chance of cutting through, it's the Javelins that were really designed to counter ERA. AT-4s and M72A3s just aren't up for it. If any of you did kill with those weapons you must have either got in a lucky shot where there was no ERA *or* managed to hit a spot where the ERA had already been blown off. In other words, a VERY lucky shot!

This brings up some things I had been wondering about. You already answered one question which is whether ERA can get blown off in the first place.

The other is how is ERA expenditure simulated? Does any hit just blow one brick off, or can I say, knock all of it off the entire side of a tank with a single large HE round? Also, would repeated hits from Mk 19 HEDP rounds knock off a lot of it? I remember one of those T-62s in this scenario taking a lot of HEDP from one of my AAV's, and rather than fight back, it backed up to get out of LOS. Probably had busted optics :D

Better result in what mission? The one you choose road ore the one with the highway?

Have a look at the campaign flow diagram. If you "lose" mission #7 (meaning that you're victory level isn't good enough; I don't remember what the actual requirement is, but it may be better than just a tactical victory) then you are switched over to mission #10. If you "lose" that, you are bounced back to mission 7. This is simulating trying to probe a path through the mountains and each time you're stopped, trying to find an alternative approach.

So to answer your question: you need a certain result in the mission AFTER the one where you choose the road, or you'll be switched over to the "other road".

It doesn't work this way. At least not for me. I never get from 6 to 7 no matter what I do, only to 10. And when I fail in 10, I go back to 6.

I assume 6 = Decissions, Decisions and 10 = Attack on Objective Pooh
