This still isn’t even a challenge.
Should you be insulted? Or just happy that you actually get to move again?
Forwards, jump aside, aim, fire. Launch away from the ground, then jet back downwards to avoid the smattering of hostile fire.
The savage enthusiasm of Thea might be infecting you, even in low-sync. Feeling Alive and whole. She’s even humming some sort of sequence of notes, while you remove another rolling Tamar tank with a Tyrant round.
Finally some actual resistance manifests in the form of proper dug-in positions that erupt in fire when you clear the corner. Sway right, left, then thrust sideways to gain cover again.
Two tanks, another APC, and some sort of multi-missile carrier. The rockets blast apart the house you’re ducking behind.
Reactor is reading a little hot, but still within acceptable temperatures. Not that your pilot would notice.
According to the map….Target Delta is right about there.
And now that you know their positions, all you need is a little bit of time. Scraping some rubble from the ground with your offhand, you throw it ahead of you. A cannon triggers at the movement, firing at nothing. Novice gunner.
That gives you an opening to leap out again, aiming at the non-smoke shrouded tank and fire, extending the leap with more thrust to avoid the following flight of unguided rockets in your wake.
One shell explodes the other tank before it fires, and all the unguided rockets in the tubes can’t save this carrier and remaining other vehicles from you in close quarters. As long as you can get there before the other one finishes its reloading. Ok, maybe that’s a bit unrealistic, but you can certainly jink their aim when the reload cycle of their main gun is complete.
Which you do again, helped by the peppering small explosions behind you and the timer you set to exactly when it fired.
At close quarters, they have no hope.
Those other two Air Raider signatures are diving on your position, now.
Best to clear this objective, first, then turn on them. If you can find it. Where. Where is this damn thing! The data said it was here. You petulantly rip the roof off a dwelling.
“Beta, they must have moved it. You see those indents in the ground? The thinner snow bits? It was here. Now it’s not. It’s a mobile array, not like the others.”
Yes, you see the spot she’s talking about.
