Iron Tank (NES) Final Checkpoint - Difficult Sections
Beating this checkpoint took around 1 hour 40 minutes. Extremely difficult section. I tried playing it slowly and carefully but in the end I beat it with a very precise aggressive approach that involved luck and many attempts to break through. The strategy was to use the V ammo (you can farm it in the area, so I did this with a full bar), and only hold down fire when a tank or enemy was directly in front of me, for the track portion, hoping I could get through the bullet storm at the top where the tracks end. After that I take out a tank, drive around a mine, stay in the corner briefly then unload multiple ammo types straight into the train enemy to kill it. Finish off 3 tanks. Point my turret to the right and drive straight up, shoot the tank and move to the right to escape and ride up the right wall to get the checkpoint. Trying to quickly move the turret to aim is very hard to do with the aiming control in this game and the tank moves very slow. So I grinded this method for a while. Once I beat the last boss I will have a full playthrough up. Maybe a tutorial.
Stay tuned !!
