you have to micromanage a little. Send individual fire team members to different locations and buildings. Then park your tank close to the barn near the ocean and set up claymores facing the blind spots of that building and set up some more to the buildings in front of you to the left in between them. They like to run and hide back there. Then have your medic and yourself in the tank and put your other members in good places to defend from the AT teams.

I always park a little back and to the right of the smoke that comes in. Every time I've done this plan though its worked, with a few exceptions. You want to use that tank and have a far out, but tight perimeter on it. Rather it be with people, or mines.
That is the most you can influence, just have to hope the AI can hold their own for once.

You think you have it tough.....

For some reason my game has saved without the APC (Tank) at that stage! Looks like I will have to start the whole **** mission from the start :cry:

Update...

Re-did the mission and thankfully, an APC survived the previous level. Put one AI in the main MG post with another covering. Moved the APC on to the small hill (behind where it's first parked) and then managed to see/cover almost the whole village from incoming attacks using HE. Thats my tip of the day :D

Imo, you cant complete that level without the APC so if it's not available you need to go back and make sure at least 1 survives the mortar attacks in the previous mission.

Anyway.......thank f*** thats over! lol

Guys I too didnt know about the tank but I done it like this get your team to follow you and do a Lyas(platoon)run up the ground between the road and the sea stop for nothing, about 500yds take out the 4 man team approching, then cross the road right angles and come back down towards the tank and machine gun the ground is high and your looking down slightly and catch them in a cross fire I caught them retreating. Idied loads of times trying to defend wish Id known about the tank...cool. let me know how you do latter on with the Evac mission. good luck guys
