Battleifield 3 – Thunder Run – What kind of millage do you get per Tank?
01.14.12
Change up from smelling the sea air, flying the F/A 18′s off the deck of an aircraft carrier in the “Going Hunting” mission, to the desert air, rolling with your mates in a tank squadron. Once again, you really get a feel of what it would be like driving a tank, firing the main gun and the machine gun in this mission. It is one of my favorites.
You, Corporal (E-4) Miller, are in full control of the tank, so you not only drive it, but also may fire the turret or co-axial machine gun and direct the Hogwarts in on a raid from above surveillance point in a later mission. Mission Update (extra task): Scrap Metal Destroy 6 enemy tanks before reaching the fort in Thunder Run Scrap Metal is the bonus task on this mission.
This extra bonus task is to personally destroy six enemy armor units before you are ordered to stop and switch to the UCAV view. There are eight tanks for you to toast, and you may satisfy this condition on the Easiest Difficulty Setting. Mission Objective: Defeat Enemy Armor After a bit of travel, you will come across six units of enemy armor.
One solid strike from an armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot round on the target’s side armor should be sufficient to knock it out of action. Once the initial six units are destroyed, your tank’s enhanced thermal vision will be unlocked to let you locate and destroy the last two tanks using the dust storm to hide.
