The Anti-Aircraft guns are toast and there do not appear to be any other AA guns in sight. Something that has always frustrated me is our inability to determine how many AA guns are in a given area ahead of time. One would think if we possess the technology to make me invisible to enemies a few feet away using my Nanosuit, we would be able to obtain a solid count of AA guns in a target area ahead of time.
I realize that my vent is certainly as old of an issue as I am a human being, but it still amazes me that we tend to be surprised with another AA gun after we believe to have destroyed the last gun in the area. I know that someone might bring up the Probability of Exact Proximity studies completed for the US military in 2012, where current technology cannot predict with absolute certainty in cases where long range ground to air guns are employed. Still, I think we should be able to do better than that now that it is eight years later. Me, I just tend to add one more to the list of known targets. I just always hope that last AA gun doesn't find me before I find them first.
At any rate, with the AA guns out of the way, I was alerted that a Korean People's Army (KPA) cruiser is docked in the harbor and is jamming our GPS systems. Given the attack by US forces, I am certain they are jamming our signals to keep us from sinking their huge boat.
To give you a recap of the objectives, I've attached them below in image form:
From the map, you can see Psycho in blue, watching over the area from above. I am located at the orange location, directly where I stood when I detonated the final AA gun in my last post. The KPA cruiser is located on the other side of the dock from me. I am pretty sure that the path between my current location and the signal jammer is loaded with more KPA soldiers.
I am still using the KPA submachine gun as my primary weapon, with both sniper scope and silencer attached. My secondary weapon is a KPA FY71, that I've been carrying for quite a while now and a great weapon given the amount of ammo lying around. Both weapons are fully loaded and I still have three rockets in my rocket launcher, strapped to my back. Both pistols are full and my grenade supply is plentiful.
Using cloak, I moved toward the KPA cruiser. As you can see in the screen shot below, the ship is quite large in size.
Just after I took the picture, I heard a Hummer arrive to my area. I went into cloak mode and they failed to notice me sitting by a large spool of wire. The Hummer was obviously on a search pattern, because they returned a few minutes later.
I remembered having some grenade launchers for my FY71 and decided I would give them a try against the Hummer. The Hummer contained a driver and a gunner. So, if I could take out everyone in one shot, that would probably be the preferred option.
When the Hummer arrived, it stopped for a second to see if I could be located. Once the break lights engaged, I shot a grenade at the back of the Hummer, directly at the fuel tank near the back bumper of the all-terrain vehicle. The Hummer went up into flames with a loud explosion.
The explosion placed the remaining guards on the dock on full alert. I was able to use the large roll of spool to help snipe gunners located from about 70 meters away. Taking this approach kept my exact location unknown. Once the area was cleared, I used cloak to move further upward. I made it to the location where a ground (or dock) mounted machine gun was stationed, still under the cover of cloak. However, I heard a helicopter approaching from the distance.
The helicopter must have been called in from the ship, as it hovered above the dock - still seeking out my exact location. I stood up and switched to the rocket launcher. With very little stealth available, I fired two quick rockets at the helicopter. Unlike last time, both rockets hit the helicopter directly and caused the chopper to explode in the air above me. Remains of the helicopter landed against the ship, still burning as they hit the dock.
I quickly hid under a train car close to my location. My Nanosuit energy was extremely low at this point. Once my suit charged up, I moved into cloak mode. Another Hummer had arrived and was searching for my location. I also noticed guards station themselves on top of the KPA cruiser.
Moving around to the other side of the rail cars, I was able to eliminate the troops in the Hummer and a couple troops that were stationed on the other side of the dock. Taking out the gunner was the more difficult of the two tasks, since I had a really bad angle stationed next to the rail car.
With the area secure, I was able to move down toward the cruiser using the rail cars as cover. I jumped into cloak mode to pick up a new rocket launcher, which was located next to the ground mounted machine gun and stock up on ammo.
The KPA soldiers stationed on top of the cruiser turned out to be easy prey, since they were not sure of my exact location. Their curiosities ended up getting the best of them, as I was able to pick them off when they leaned out to seek my location.
Knowing that some troops would be manning the second munition site, I decided to enter the site in order to clear out any existence of soldiers on the dock and inside the industrial area. I wanted to make sure the area was clear to avoid a surprise attack after I boarded the KPA cruiser. Three guards were stationed in the second munitions building and their elimination proved to be easier than expected. I moved back toward the KPA cruiser.
From what I can tell, the dock area is now clear. My next step will be to board the KPA cruiser and take care of that GPS jammer.
I will be in touch soon!
