Unlike the previous missions, the clock is your friend here. You want to stay alive as long as possible while fending off waves of enemy vehicles. At the start of the mission, simply hold on the platform where you begin with the EDF Medium Tank.
This tank has a turret capable of rotating 360 degrees, so you can easily turn it to face each incoming vehicle. However, as the action gets heavier, turn the entire tank to face each incoming vehicle.
The tank’s armor is thickest in the front, so you want this heavy armor facing incoming attacks to reduce damage. Never let the enemies attack the tank’s weak rear armor.
Enemy vehicles can only access the central platform via two ramps, so focus your fire on these narrow chokepoints to blow away the attackers. However, watch out for enemies simultaneously attacking from both sides.
If you act quickly, you can halt these flanking attacks before they inflict too much damage. If your tank begins taking heavy damage, you can retrieve a Repair pick-up at the top of the map—there are also Proximity Mines nearby too.
Leaving the central platform makes you vulnerable to flanking attacks, so grab the pick-ups and then make your way back to the central platform. Placing Proximity Mines at the base of each ramp is a good way to defend this location until you’ve survived long enough to achieve a gold star.
