This is easily the toughest training mission, requiring you to survive at least three minutes just to get a bronze star and over four minutes to achieve a gold star. Early on, evasion is your best tactic—simply run away from the enemy vehicles. As they take the lower path, race to an upper path.
By simply driving fast and avoiding conflict, you can eat up at least a full minute. Of course, don’t be afraid to blast any weak enemy units that get in your way. However, avoid direct fights with EDF Heavy Tanks or MLRS units. And don’t forget the range of the Rover Flatbed’s artillery-like cannons.
This allows you to hit enemy vehicles from ranges where they can’t hit you, so keep your distance and keep firing.
As you move beyond the three minute mark, you can expect a total of four enemy vehicles to be tracking you simultaneously.
As long as the enemy vehicles stay together in one large group they don’t pose a huge threat—just stay as far away from them as possible and shell them from a distance. But if the enemy vehicles are spread out, they have a better chance of trapping you, forcing you to fight your way out.
Constantly monitor the positions of the enemy vehicles and pick off units that stray from the group. If you don’t deal with these stragglers quickly, they may cut off your path of escape. Also, watch for newly spawned vehicles that may appear directly in your path and act quickly to destroy them.
Sometimes it’s best to let the last group of four enemy vehicles survive so you can avoid such unpredictable appearances by new vehicles. Simply keep your distance from the group and last as long as possible.
