Set Signal Fires for P-40 Warhawks | Operation Avalanche MoH: Airborne Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Ignore the second task (destroying the gun) for the time being, because you'll be able to fulfill this particular mission objective much earlier. Your goal is very simple. You will have to destroy two explosive barrels in order to set signal fires for allied bombers, so they'll know where to drop the bombs. You will also get closer to your next objective while trying to find the barrels, so you won't have to waste a lot of your precious time here.

Reaching your target:

This is going to be one of the most difficult fights for this mission. Sadly, there's only one path leading to your current destination and you will also have to avoid TWO heavy machine gun posts. There are a lot of enemy soldiers in this area as well, however it's going to be quite easy to get rid of them. The first heavy machine gun post can be found in front of the stairs. You will have to go there, so you'll come across it right away. Try standing a little lower. Use the sniper rifle to get rid of the gunner. Stay here for a little while longer, because new enemy soldiers will probably try to use this heavy machine gun. Kill them before they manage to do that.

Second heavy machine gun post can be found to your right. You will have to neutralize it as soon as possible. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to advance towards the barrels. You've got two choices here. You can either use the sniper rifle to kill the gunner or you could throw a couple of grenades at him, however you would have to use a small balcony that's located to the right. I think that the sniper rifle is the best choice here. Either way, you will have to solve this problem before moving on with the mission.

Your next step should be to reach the machine gun post in order to secure it once and for all. You won't have to use the machine gun. Just make sure that all enemy soldiers have been killed. They will appear to your left. Use a good cover before attacking them. Thankfully, there are a lot of large objects here, including the sandbags. You will also receive some help from your allies, so it's not going to be too difficult to take full control over this area.

The barrels can be found to your right, near the artillery guns. They are red, so you shouldn't have any major problems finding them. Start off by destroying the closer barrel. One good shot should be more than enough. Once the explosion has occurred, use the sniper rifle to take out the second barrel. This should be done from a larger distance, so you won't have to worry about other enemy units right away. Once this is done, you will be allowed to proceed with the final task of this mission.
