Destroy Hill Houses AA Gun - part 1 | Operation Husky MoH: Airborne Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
As you've probably noticed by now, this goal is located far away from the center of the town. Remember that you won't have to do what the game tells you, so you may as well skip the briefing section of the mission. It's best to choose the approach on your own. Take a look at the map if you want to find out where to go. Obviously you will be allowed to take detours along the way, especially since there are some open buildings in this area. It will be a good idea to hide inside these structures, however don't forget about enemy troops. Some of the enemy soldiers may be hiding inside the buildings and it's going to be fairly difficult to spot them.
Approach:
If you don't want any problems, you should consider landing near one of the safe zones. I would recommend choosing a roof of a large tower. First of all, this will allow you to score a bonus for finding a Skill Drop area. You will also have a great look at your surroundings from here, so you'll be able to take out at least a few soldiers without risking anything. Take a look at the screen if you want to find out where you'll have to go. This is going to be the main road leading to your current goal area.
Reaching your target:
You will have to land safely on top of the tower. It would be a good idea to achieve at least a Flared landing. You should be able to take out at least 3-4 enemies from here, however don't expose yourself too much. You could also try leaning out a lot. Once the soldiers have spotted you, they will start firing. Press the crouch key in order to avoid being hit. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about grenades, so you may continue to attack them. Once they're gone, try moving to your right and landing on roofs of some of the smaller buildings. Don't even think about jumping down directly to the ground, because you would have probably died or you would lose a lot of health points.
Sooner or later, you will have to decide where to go next. Sadly, you won't be allowed to stay on rooftops for the rest of the mission, because there's a large wall separating you from your current objective. As a result, it would be a good idea to reach the ground. Choose one of the smaller buildings before dropping to the ground, so you won't receive any injuries. Now you will have to help your teammates to secure a small passageway (screen). You could take part in the assault or choose the upper tower for a better view. The choice is yours. I would recommend going with the rest of the soldiers, because you'll only waste your time in the tower.
Once you've reached a new location, you'll probably notice that there's a very large group of enemy soldiers in front of you. There's also a MG-42 machine gun post there. Thankfully, you will be able to surprise the soldiers from the right flank. Be careful, though. Some of the enemy units will be coming your way. Move closer to the armored car and neutralize the machine gun post.
