Guided Missile Drone Strike
[BROKEN BY GAME UPDATE]
For this mission you are a drone pilot, remotely flying the ACG Dragonfly precision strike drone which has been equipped with one GP-Y "Guppy" Guided Missile.
Upon activation of Detacher 1, your control will switch from the drone, which will return safely to base (use your imagination) to the Guppy, allowing you to directly guide it to the target.
Your target is a high-level terrorist leader believed to be hiding somewhere in this small village. At 0900 hours a surveillance satellite saw him arrive in a red truck and enter a house.
You are to climb the drone to at least 5,000 feet to avoid detection, release the Guppy missile and destroy the target residence while minimizing collateral damage.
Good Luck!
Bonus targets: The USS Tiny and the Jundroo.
Tips:
Since the main cockpit is upside down, Orbit View is really your only option. You'll have to move the camera manually to accurately aim your missile.
The Guppy flies pretty well for a missile, but it's not perfect. With the wrong inputs it WILL enter an unrecoverable spin and fail your mission. Line up your shot before you release the missile to minimize the amount of input required.
The Guppy has a reinforced underside (i.e. the indestructible cockpit) and can actually be "slid" into the target at a very shallow angle. If you find aiming at steep angles is too difficult, try it out!
The mission is generally easier at shallower angles. If 5,000 feet is too difficult, try it from below 1,000. If 5,000 feet is too easy, try 10,000!
Note: If it doesn't work on mobile, try removing one or two of the houses.
Updates:
12/27 - dampened Guppy roll input
