This is probably going to be the toughest mission on expert mode for the Panzer Elite campaign due to the limited force you’re given at the start and how fast you need to react when the British XXX Corps arrives. Only new unit introduced here is the Marauder III Tank Hunter. A light tank-destroyer that can hunker down to sacrifice all mobility in exchange longer firing range, lower reload time, higher penetration chance, and more damage. Very powerful AT tool so long as it’s supported properly.
The toughest part of this mission is the start due to there being no base to work off of so your units are extremely valuable. If both Panzer Gren squads perish the game will send you more to capture territory, but the vehicles will not be replaceable so make sure you maintain unit preservation above all else. While you can allow the Marauder IIIs to Tank most of the damage, they are considered light armor so small arms fire can eventually kill them so keep an eye on their health.
What I like to do first is plant the Marauders in front at the center of the road with the armored cars on the side to provide support. So long as the infantry sections focus on the Marauders you should be able to outlast them. After the forward recon element is dealt with, make any necessary repairs and capture the nearby points. There’s two combat groups the AI will send in response to this: an m3 half-track, lieutenant, sappers w/flamethrower, and an infantry section upgraded w/a Bren lmg. Otherwise, it will be a sapper upgraded with PIATs, lieutenant, Bren Carrier, and a Stuart Light tank.
After those two groups are dealt with you’ll want to send some infantry down the main road to takedown the unsupported AT gun. Once it’s down, send up the Marauders to focus fire on the nearby house to knock out the Vickers HMG waiting to ambush you. When that’s swiftly dealt with you’ll simply need to hit one of the nearby vehicles to aggro the Command Tank. If you kill him the AI in the town will immediately retreat and you can move onto the next half of the mission.
The game will send you a scout car and order you to garrison the church so you may construct a base. I advise having the scout car capture all the points on the lower sections of the map while you begin building roadblocks and barbed wire on the two passages to your side flanks. This will help keep the AI from circling around you and cause them to bottleneck into only two major areas. Only heavy vehicles may destroy them simply by running over them. Otherwise it would take a long time to shoot them out.
I don’t advise going too far north-west because this will trigger the countdown for the XXX Corps’ arrival which means you’re screwed because you now have to rush and create an outpost in the church, secure remaining territory, try to assemble a defense force, AND destroy forward defenses the AI will be setting.
When you’re done cutting off the rear flanks, garrison that church and start building a base. By now you should have tons of fuel and manpower to spend. I suggest to spam Marauder IIIs to cover the main road and the southern bridge on the right. They will be your bread and butter for destroying the absurd amount of medium and heavy British tanks the mission is about to throw at you. So long as you keep them supported against infantry and the occasional repair this mission will suddenly feel very trivial.
After the arrival cutscene plays out, this will be an endurance test. If you intend to obtain the medal then you’ll need to hold the highway before the timer runs out. For this, as well as dealing with infantry nuisance in general, I advise building two mortar half-tracks and a munitions one for support. If a bunch of infantry sections or sappers gather up just dump some incendiary shells on them. They will most likely retreat and die trying to take it.
At about 15 minutes on the countdown timer there will be two Priest Self-Propelled Arty Guns that will wreak havoc on your defenses. I advise having Tank Busters/Marauder III ready to respond as quickly as possible to mitigate any unnecessary losses. After that nothing of significance happens. Once the final minute is reached the AI infantry will retreat in full, giving you ample time to capture the highway (if you lost it) and secure the medal.
I hope this guide helped for any that were struggling. If not, then I at least hope you learned something new. Enjoy!
Beautiful strategy, I truly enjoyed this :)
@@blacksamurai76 more to come soon =] I’m actually finishing up the final missions to the campaign.
@@StarMarshal It did look pretty tough at the start considering how fast your units can die. Another excellent job!
@@blacksamurai76 I especially enjoyed this one so far. Really jumped up in terms of difficulty by the look of everything going on.
Post another episode soon. These are rather addictive. Really love to see how every strategy you come up with plays out. Don't see quality like this very often.
The dynamic weather really makes these missions stand out a lot better. It's cool to see the passage of time as the battles wage on.
just perfect man! your vids are just like the movies
Than you kindly, Seltin. More on the way soon.
Geez talk about walking into a killzone. Was pretty cool to see how the different units worked together too. Can't wait for more episodes!
That was a really beautiful killzone you created. Excellent work.
Another stellar episode for me to watch. Thanks for the great content as always.
It is insane to see how many troops they can send just to capture that frontline lmao.
lately CZcams is not notification your videos, it may affect views, If it weren't for checking your videos, I wouldn't have seen it yet...
I don't really care too much about views. Glad that you were able to find it though. Hope you're still enjoying the series =]
@@StarMarshal based. Good to see someone isn't just doing this for the money.
what a defense you defended that tank squad that I had you showed you have an incredible military power
I have been playing along to these guides on my iPad. I have to play on Hard tho because Expert requires micro that I just cannot manage with a MnK lol.
Wanna hear a old joke : next number is *croud whooing*
69 !!! ✊😆😂
I could watch these all day.
0:08: Bloody inept soldiers, bloody reckless command structure, bloody Kampgroup Leer... boys, time to fight once more! At least we have armor this time around... Alan, please keep watch on the roads.
3:38: Recon shows that the Leers are coming to attack us and are currently giving our Rs a lot of casualties... boys, with me! Let's try to stop them right in their fecking tracks! Trooper, find Alan and his group so they will keep watch for Woomer's task force.
4:56: (Whoops. Friendly grind.)
6:33: Shoot, they got a Munitions Point... on my mark, boys.
6:54: No, not now... DAMN IT, WOOMER!!!
12:08: They're onto us! Get out of there! Squad D, hold!
13:18: Good riddance to bad lowlife trash... boys, fall back! We lost command for this place... where's my brandy bottle?!
19:15: Hah! That should scare them.
21:14: They've just set up a church base. Boys, you ready to become men after we turn the tide here? Then hop to it!
26:32: This is it. The end. Go, go, GO!!!
28:25: First wave is beat. Not that much of a problem, but the enemy appears to have allowed a Scorched Earth policy. Make haste!
31:00: Artillery, fire!
31:45: NO!!!
39:00: Enemy bombers are here... gentlemen, it's been a pleasure serving with you, but stay here while me and some chosen men will charge through one last time. Alan... keep watch on them, alright?
43:55: FOR KING AND COUNT-*bang*
(British armor really didn't stand a chance there.)
...If anyone comments in the highway's unfortunate number in a sleazy way, expect thumbs downs.
And yes, getting Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway flashbacks while watching this. Game needs a sequel, and a true conclusion at that.
Is this really expert difficulty? because I don't get all that time to set up defences.
Did you put units in the cathedral?
Just like I imagine it but cant perform ffs lol
do you play any online games?
I will play online with friends here and there. If you mean for the channel not so much.
@@StarMarshal play some parts of Call of Duty online for the channel
@@shalyn001 Do you mean Warzone?
@@StarMarshal I mean infinite warfare 2016 or world war 2 2017
@@shalyn001 is there even a playerbase still for those ones?
