CHAPTER 3: The Poppy Fields – PART 5: The Somme
SIXTH TROPHY OPPORTUNITY “Brothers’ Keeper”
There are two tank segments in this level, you must complete both without losing any men. You can keep a head-count as they will run in a group behind you – five in the first segment, and a new four in the second.
Aim the cannon up high and move along while shooting at threats and obstacles, particularly timing your shots for the enemy planes, which will be announced by one of your infantrymen.
Note: The trophy should pop before the cutscene with the end boss.
Detailed guide:
The first segment has 5 enemy planes, most of which don’t actually need to be shot down.
The regular green planes don’t harm the tank at all, they’re only a threat to your infantry.
-The 1st is like a warm up, and won’t kill any of your men if you ignore it and keep moving.
-The 2nd is to teach you a lesson, if you ignore it and keep moving your last guy will die, but if you stop he can take cover and survive.
-The 3rd (a bomber), will cause damage only to the tank.
[checkpoint] (if you die)
-The 4th is the most deadly, and will wipe out your whole team if you don’t shoot it down.
-The 5th (a bomber) will destroy your tank in one hit if you don’t shoot it down, which would send you back to a checkpoint before the 4th, with or without your last man (depending on how you handled the 2nd).
[checkpoint] (if you die or if you quit)
In short, you can let the first 3 go, only the last 2 must be shot down before they get to you.
After you’ve taken down the bunker, a new squad of 4 will roll by with a new tank.
The second segment has 7 threats but is much shorter as they are more densely packed.
[checkpoint] (if you die)
-1st a plane which will wipe out your squad if you keep moving, you can protect them if you stop.
-2nd a bunker which can also be ignored if your men take cover and you don’t take too much damage.
-3rd a bomber which will destroy you if it gets two hits, so must be shot down.
-4th a bunker.
-5th a bomber.
-6th a bomber.
-7th a plane. Harmless if you cover your squad.
In short, you don’t have to worry about shooting down either green plane, and don’t have to shoot down all of the bombers or bunkers so long as your squad stay in your shadow and you destroy enough to make it through without the tank being destroyed. It’s kill or be killed!
Note: The trophy should pop before the cutscene with the end boss.
