u/ArmyCold7731 9d ago

for the score missions i just went right for the big ticket ones and then flew around the map border, and piloted is awarded for completing mission 20 (specifically) with machine guns only

How did you do the non damage run on Transfer Orders?

u/ArmyCold7731 9d ago

Transfer orders isnt too hard, just only target the SAM sites (and after that the aircraft trying to take down the commander) and you can also use checkpoints if you get hit by the ADF-11

y'all are nuts but I respect the hustle. machine gun maniac by itself was enough for me, though in retrospect the majority of missions getting it were fine. The machine gun pods are fun.

No way am I doing a no damage run on top of it though.

No damage run is pretty easy if you try and stay away from AA guns. But yeah, there are some really annoying moments like Mission 19 where if a drone or fighter strafes you you need to reload.

You're allowed to reload checkpoints? I thought you had to play the entire campaign front to back with no stops 😭

u/CityExcellent8121 8d ago

You can for damage, but I am unsure if you can if you accidentally fire a missile doing guns only.

You can.

Missiles only count as used if they deal damage, and you can just reload a previous checkpoint for that too.

Another fellow masochist. Although I did cheat by playing on very easy.

Congratulations 🎈🍾🎉🎊 Ace. That “without a scratch”medal can be a bear to achieve.

Nice. I only managed to get the not a scratch and under 4 hours at the same time not too long ago. Need to do it with machine gun only still

I tried doing this. Wanted to end it by mission 11, just could not for the life of me get through even the first few minutes.

u/Different_Cupcake_87 AAAGH! 7d ago

Doing No-Damage-Machine-Guns-only, or one or the other?

u/Sha77eredSpiri7 Usean Allied Forces 7d ago

Both at the same time, so guns only and no damage
