Destroy AA Gun | Operation Avalanche MoH: Airborne Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You shouldn't have any major problems with this final objective. Obviously you shoudn't be surprised by the fact that it's going to be well defended, so you won't be able to destroy it right away. You've probably collected a couple of grenades along the way. You should try using them, because this is the end of this mission and you won't need them for other fights. You can only try and surprise enemy soldiers. Check the following description for more details on that.
Reaching your target:
If you've destroyed the second barrel from a larger distance, you will have to defeat one more group before moving on to the target area. This is a very important issue, because there are a lot of allied soldiers in the area and I'm sure that you wouldn't want to see them die. Enemy soldiers will be standing to the south-west of your current position. Thankfully, you'll be dealing with small groups, so it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of them.
Now you will have to start moving south. Like I've said before, the main road leading to your target is going to be heavily defended, however you could try and eliminate all enemy soldier. Nevertheless, it would be much safer to turn right (once you've gone past a large entrance). You should be able to find a tent here. Keep a crouching stance at all times, so you'll be able to surprise enemy soldiers. Also, make sure that no one surprises you from the left flank.
I want to say this again - don't attract too much attention and you'll be able to get closer to enemy troops. They will be standing to your left. You could keep moving towards the gun, however I'd recommend using a grenade here. Just make sure that it doesn't touch the roof of the tent while it's still in the air. This should allow you to kill most of enemy units without risking anything.
Keep heading south. You should be standing close to the right wall of the temple. You could try and keep quiet, however this won't be necessary anymore. Make a few steps forward and hide behind a large truck. Lean out carefully. This should allow to kill all of the remaining enemy units. Make sure that you've secured the gun, because that's where most of the enemy soldiers are standing. You should also check your compass to make sure that everyone's been killed. Also, wait for the rest of the squad to advance to this area.
There's only one more thing to do here. You will have to approach the gun. It's not being guarded anymore, so you may as well stand up. Locate a glowing spot and place an explosive charge there. Once this is done, move back to a safe distance and wait for a cool explosion. This will allow you to finish this entire mission. You will also be rewarded with an excellent cut-scene. You'll see the temple being destroyed by allied planes.
