Valkyria Chronicles 3 (PSP,Eng. Trans) Part 11, Chapter 4 Completed
This mission took around 2 hours 49 minutes to complete. I learned most of it after failing a few times in 1 hour 30 minutes of trial and error. Keeping 3 shock troopers in the first area and never moving them fends off the enemies from the main base for a while and you never have to move through that first area and waste turns. Occasionally I bring someone in to help defend if it gets bad.
Other than that I kept the APC in the beginning parts of the maps until clearing out all the main enemies. The APC is extremely weak and a tank will kill it fast, as well some of the red , harder enemies. I got to the final area on the previous attempt, but the armored sheild enemy destroyed the tank when I tried to drive it past him, since I was out of lancer units. Turns out the sniper works much better , but its best to take the alternate route and shoot at him from above, where he cant hit you.
Its good to have an engineer dispatched in areas where the APC is to repair it as needed and resupply snipers and lancer units. In the area with the two tanks you can use those side openings to hit the tanks from the side, by taking the alternate bottom path that leads to the dock. Its good to have a sniper to take out the occasional enemy that appears. Eventually you can snipe the red unit through the wall opening as well as get a lancer unit behind the remaining tank and hit the weak spot for a quick kill.
Its better to take the alternate path in the final area as well and take out the enemies, especially the armored sheild unit which is extremely dangerous to take head on, as shown. I had no lancer units left, since he killed them both, so I had to use one of my sheild units to melee attack the back of the tank. The sniper rounds were way too weak and it wasnt doable that way since I did not have an engineer to resupply sniper rounds (you only get 1 per team turn). Simply go up the ladder shown, use all your turns to attack the back of the tank and when you are on your last turn retreat back down the ladder and the tank wont hit you.
Remember to hit the tanks on the side panel when using the lancer units, unless you have the weak spot (blue exposed engine) available to hit. Other areas do almost no damage.
Stay tuned !!
