Description:
You must capture three targets - (1), (2), (3) - place a hacking module near them and then protect it till the white border of the circle indicating it fills up. If the enemy destroys the module, you have to plant and protect a new one. On the other hand, once the target is secured, it can't be retaken by enemies, so you don't have to worry about it. After capturing the three targets, all you need to do is to call the air raid on the target in (4).
All the troops that you will receive during the mission will be dropped off in (5). Enemy soldiers can throw a lot of smoke grenades, but in truth it will help you more than them, as it will be harder for them to hit. New enemies will keep appearing in the place of the dead and destroyed ones - they will be dropped off by helicopters in several places (among other places, (10), (11), (12), (13)). Enemies will have soldiers, ASDs, quad-drones and CLAWs.
Instantly, as soon as the mission begins in (5), run as quickly as possible to (6) (exit the parking lot using the right or left exit, it doesn't matter). You should see something similar to stairs between the containers (first picture above). Go up them, turn right, then left and right again - to get to an open container on the right (second picture above). When you're running, hold the sprint button all the time.
Run out of it and turn left, you'll find yourself in (7). Jump down, run forward and past the car. Just to the right, behind the crane there should be the HELLADS defense system - run behind it and place the hacking module by the launcher wheel in (1), so that the sea is behind you (picture above). The closer you place the module to the launcher, the better. Then, crouch in this spot and wait.
Enemies can run up to you from the left or right, but the more quiet you are, the less of them will come. However, the quad-drones can be problematic (picture above) - try to destroy them, but only when they start to shoot at you. As for the soldiers, the distance is so short that you will easily get rid of them with the combatant suppression knuckles. Hide back immediately. Even if there are a lot of soldiers on the other side of the launcher, you need to worry only about those who will come running to you. If everything goes well, the hacking module will finish its job and you should have around 6 minutes and 30 seconds left.
Immediately switch to ASD, which is already at your disposal, and, eliminating the enemies, get out of parking lot through the left gate. Afterwards, immediately go into the building on the left, through the entrance in (8) (picture above). There may be a few soldiers near the second launcher in (2), as well as enemy ASD. Your task is to eliminate as many enemies as you can (remember to also use the grenade launcher and keep in mind that the ASD may run soldiers down). At the same time give the order for all troops to come to this place.
Since there are more enemies, the fight may be more challenging, but don't worry - you have about three minutes to capture this target. It's crucial to simultaneously secure this place (picture above), and come here with at least one soldier. Don't shoot at anyone, just keep sprinting. This may be the biggest problem, though, as the enemy soldiers are probably already at the parking lot, waiting till your troops land. Don't be surprised if, for example, you get a couple of soldiers who will die almost instantly.
Try to use all your troops to create commotion near (8), so that the chosen soldier, whom you will control, can run to (2). Even if there are some opponents there, ignore them - place the hacking module as soon as possible. Do the same by the wheel, to the opposite side of the entrances to this place. And, as you did earlier, crouch and wait. Eliminate only those enemies who will come to you, and if they don't, all the better!
When there are about 3 minutes left till the end of the mission, you must hurry, but at this very moment you should get a CLAW. This is your chance - switch to it and start walking in the direction of (3) massacring all the soldiers and ASD on your way (picture above). Keep in mind that the CLAW is very slow and you have to get to your target as quickly as possible.
Now, there are two possibilities. Either the enemy CLAW, which has been preventing you from capturing the last target, came to you to (5) (you'll destroy it on the way), or not. In the latter case it is in (9). Point the fire in his direction at once (first picture above). In the meantime, give the order for all troops to come to (3). When you get rid of the enemy CLAW, immediately look up - there are two enemies with RPGs on the containers (second picture above), make them bite the dust as well (look at spots (13), (14), (15)). Then, position yourself near the big vehicle-launcher in such a way as to be covered from as many enemies as possible (search for them on the map). At the same time, try to eliminate as many enemy soldiers as you can before you move to the next paragraph.
Choose any soldier and quickly put the hacking module between your CLAW and the big vehicle (picture above). Then switch to the CLAW and just stand on the module. You won't destroy it this way, but you'll be able to protect it with the robot's body. Search and eliminate enemies, but don't leave your position and wait till the hacking is over (there should be at least 20 seconds until the end).
As soon as the hacking is over, look out for the message in the upper part of the screen. When it appears, hold down the use button and then steer the rocket at the target in (4) - the ship that will be indicated by a diamond (picture above). You control it the same way as you look around. When the rocket hits the ship, the mission will be successful.
