STUCKED at mission 3 , the mission you have to destroy the chemical weapons by providing air support for the marines. I can't find those infantry that hammer wants me so bad to take care of, i can't see much, the area is mountainous so you can not easily manouver around the area, the NVG sometimes glitch the terrain textures, its so hard to see whats down there. I can't believe its the 2nd time i have to do this thing after the 1 st mission which i replayed 10-15 times before i figured out which infantry to bomb. hunting for 3 guys in a mountainous region at night in a harrier is a bit hard. Maybe some blue/red smoke near the target or some kind of laser designation some coordonates, anything, are those navyseals sent in with sticks and rocks ?

I know your feeling, i've had about 10 times and still havent had a chance to complete the mission. After a couple of tries to bomb the airfield by myself i realised its pretty mandatory to use your wingman to attack the tanks and you to laser bomb the 2 garages, becouse your wingman is equiped with mavericks and he can hunt tanks faster than you. The problem i have with this mission is that very limited time you get after the helicopter touches down at the port. I failed the mission 7-8 times just in this part of the op. It is really frustrating at the point i didnt play it anymore. You dont have time for multiple passes , the whole thing is happening too fast , by the time you try to make a 2nd pass the mission's lost (heavy casulties). And you dont really know who is who down there. The heli touches down, some infantry spawns up, are those my guys are those my targets? Who the hell knows. I used rockets (edited them in the mission designer becouse the one equipped are no longer in the game) to make a pass at some 4-5 infantry dudes that seem to spawn near the water. But i cant see the other ones i have to bomb. in 1 min you dont have time to do much. Really frustrating.
