Objective: Protect the Bombers

At this point, you gain control of a P-47 plane high above the battlefield. Before you can help out Daniels on the ground, you need to protect the bomber squad and ensure they deliver their payload behind enemy lines.

This portion of the game starts with a tutorial to familiarize you with the controls. Once you’ve gotten a feel for how to fly the plane, a large group of German fighter planes arrive to attack your squad. Speed up to directly engage the fighters. Try to fix your attack on one plane until it takes enough damage to go down.

For this first dogfight, you must destroy eight German fighters. The hardest part is usually finding an enemy plane and differentiating it from a friendly P-47 squad. Luckily, the Objective button takes care of both of these problems by highlight nearby enemies as well as allies.

The B-52s flying in formation aren’t defenseless, but they need you to quickly take out the fighters before they take too much damage.

After eliminating eight fighters, your squad must traverse another flak field. Realign with your escort and do your best to avoid taking damage from the black clouds dotting the sky.

After making it to the other side, the Germans have a second flight group ready to attack. This time it consists of 12 enemies. Flip around and take on the enemies attacking from the six o’ clock position head-on.

Objective: Retreat to the Front Lines

Once you regain control of Daniels, charge back to the stone wall. Use your Garand to pick off the gunner on the back of the half-track, as well any other soldiers charging your position. Grab a machine gun off the wall and then press the on-screen indicator to dismount the gun. This will allow you to quickly dodge behind cover if you take damage from incoming fire.

Objective: Get to the Left Flank

When you are ordered to get to the left flank, sprint up the wall to the left and find some cover near your Sherman tanks. Drop the machine gun and use a rifle to kill the Panzerschreck soldiers as they charge up from the woods on the left. A soldier will go down here. Drag him behind the bunker to save him.

Objective: Form Up on the Center Lane

After regrouping with your squad in the center lane of the defenses, several German tanks arrive on the tree line. Stay behind cover and get ready to use a machine gun. As soon as the enemy infantry emerges from the smoke, start mowing them down with your 1919 machine gun. Eventually Daniels gets hit by a round, but just as your P-47 air support arrives!
