Transformers Strikes Back

You are talking about the anti-aircraft laser. It is indeed BT, but as long as it does not fly too high, it will be fine. The following is a guide, I hope it will be helpful to you!

Prologue:

A rapid alarm sounded, and the fighter plane controlled by the player took off and entered the battle...

Initial weapons: VULCAN CANNONS, PHOENIX, MACHINE PISTOLS, FLAK GUN.

MISSION 1: ZERO HOUR (zero point) LOCATION: ZONE 1

Mission briefing: Farm area (1) is our basic supply source. We did everything we could to prevent the enemy from invading, but in the end the front line was still breached. Our No. 2 headquarters is under fierce attack from the enemy. Without any delay, it's time for "Transformers" to be revealed. Don't be merciful...

Key strategy: standard training level. There is an enemy mechanical army in front of the base, and they can be eliminated without any effort. Then fly to the green supply point on the radar to simply resupply. Now the enemy planes have started attacking the farm, take them out easily and end the mission.

MISSION 2: DEFENDER (defense) LOCATION: ZONE 2

New weapon: TORPEDO (torpedo)

Mission briefing: The enemy's suicide bombing robot has targeted Our immigration area launched an attack. We detected many such mobile bombs targeting our weapons research center (1). Defend our immigration areas 2, 3, and 4 and prevent enemy threats to our weapons programs.

Key strategy: The enemy will attack our immigration areas 2, 3, and 4 successively. The strength of each echelon is one armored personnel carrier, four bombers, and several small robots. The power of those bombers is exaggerated in the early stage, so it is recommended to use the tracking missile in the form of an airplane (right click) to destroy them as soon as possible, then turn off their radiation waves, and then use torpedoes to destroy the troop carrier. In the end, those little robots were crushed to death even with their feet :). Because the time interval between the three waves of attacks is very short, and our immigration area is arranged in a triangle, you should go to the supply point to replenish ammunition and HP as soon as possible between attacks. After crushing the enemy's three main attacks, it's OK to wipe out all the remaining small robots on the map.

MISSION 3: ESCORT (Escort) LOCATION: ZONE 1

New weapon: TOMAHAWK (Tomahawk missile)

Mission briefing: The enemy is approaching No. 1 Gathered in a dangerous location very close to the headquarters. Even if you cannot break through such a strong defense line, you must protect the safe arrival of the reinforcements we send from Highland 2. That way we can take the initiative and be the first to strike.

Key strategy: As mentioned in the briefing, the focus of this level is to protect our reinforcements from reaching the designated location. On the way, you will encounter three enemy echelon attacks. The strength of each echelon is: two armored personnel carriers, three attack aircraft, and four tanks. After the second echelon is eliminated, the enemy will attack the headquarters with four troop transport aircraft, and rush to the rescue. After completing the rescue mission, cooperate with reinforcements from afar to eliminate the gathered enemies.

MISSION 4: PROTECTION (Protection) LOCATION: ZONE 3

New weapon: DISK LAUNCHER (disk gun)

Mission briefing: one of our cities Under attack from the north and east. The energy from the power station (2) of the nearest settlement area is required to be transferred to the defense fort (1). And your job is to stop the enemy before the defensive cannon can unleash its power.

Key strategy: The enemy will launch echelon attacks on the northern and eastern defensive artillery respectively. Each echelon has about two powerful attack aircraft and three or four attack aircraft. When approximately six echelons of the enemy have been eliminated, power will be transferred to the defensive guns. This makes the remaining two echelon attacks easy. Finally, the enemy will attack the power station with eight troop carriers and destroy them! The difficulty lies in the protection of the defensive guns before the power supply.

MISSION 5: VANGUARD (Vanguard) LOCATION: ZONE2

New weapon: GP BOMB (guided bomb)

Mission briefing: Three of our ships have made an emergency landing The ship was sent to intercept the enemy at the weapons factory. They can't be delayed for too long, go rescue them!

Key strategy: It’s hard to believe what enemies these three ships can stop! The enemy's attack force consisted of three troop carriers and several tanks. It is recommended to destroy the enemy's troop carrier before it lands, because the robots rushing out of the ship will pose a great threat to our ship. On the other hand, those tanks will continue to attack our fleet, so we must fight as quickly as possible. The enemy's air force will also arrive after a certain time, and the best way to attack them is to track the missiles.

MISSION 6: LEVIATHAN (Troll) LOCATION: ZONE 3

New weapons: ROCKETS (rockets); MINI ROCKETS (small rockets)

Mission Briefing : The enemy has a huge battleship attacking one of our cities. It would be a disaster if we let it go and brought our cities within range of its fire.

Key strategy: Obviously our mission this time is to destroy the battleship halfway. However, the forts located around the battleship are not scary, and the countless carrier-based aircraft are not scary. What is really scary is the huge cannon on the belly of the ship. So when attacking, be sure not to stay within the sight of its cannon until it turns its muzzle and points it at you. The more successful method is to land directly on the back of the battleship, and then eliminate its aircraft boarding window and the left and right turrets. From now on, just attack the attack point on its abdomen and kill a few planes at the same time until the behemoth crashes in front of you. Be careful to end the battle as soon as possible, because the battleship is constantly flying towards our city, and by the time it destroys the city, it will be too late.

MISSION 7: INFILTRATION (infiltration) LOCATION: ZONE 4

New weapons: MAVERICK (independent); ASSAULT CANNON (cannon)

Mission briefing: We have discovered an enemy fortress hidden in the ice and snow wasteland in the north. There will be three alert radar stations at your insertion point. Kill them before they detect your presence and notify the main base to strengthen its defenses.

Key strategies: Starting from this mission, we can finally switch from passive defense to active attack. However, in this mission we only have a simple supply of ammunition, but cannot replenish HP, so we must pay attention to protecting ourselves. After approaching the radar station, there will be an aircraft flying towards the base, which must be intercepted. Otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with later. After destroying the radar station, go straight to destroying the fortress. Note that with our current firepower, it is better not to fight head-on. We might as well make two more detours. In the meantime, the enemy's mothership will come for reinforcements. All you need to do is destroy the attack points one by one while avoiding the impact of enemy aircraft.

MISSION 8: FORTIFICATION (Fortress) LOCATION: ZONE 2

New weapons: HELLFIRE (Hellfire); GRENADES (Grenade)

Mission Briefing: Me Fang is trying to equip our weapons research center with a powerful defensive cannon. Seeing that we were not yet finished, the enemy attacked. Defend the research center until the defensive cannon is operational.

Key strategies: Don’t think that you can complete the task as long as you persist until a certain time. Facts have shown that when you rely on time, your researchers will leave you early. What's more, the enemy also brought a mothership! So offense is the best defense. In the early stage, the enemy will attack with about twenty fighter planes in echelons. Don't let them take out too many researchers, kill them with homing missiles. After all the fighters are destroyed, the enemy mothership will arrive. Dodge the enemy's fire and destroy the plane's boarding window and all other attack points to complete the mission.

MISSION 9: MINESWEEPER (minesweeper) LOCATION: ZONE 4

New weapons: NAPALM (napalm); ION BEAM (ion beam)

Mission Briefing: Our reconnaissance indicates enemy activity in the ruins of the base (1). Our commander suspected it was a covert operation. There are many powerful anti-aircraft batteries (2) installed on the mountain and the canyon is full of mines. We need our best rescue team (3) to investigate the ruins.

Key strategy: The focus of this mission is to ensure that our rescue team successfully reaches the designated location and enters the ruins to investigate. The rescue team is divided into three groups and will travel along the canyon via different routes. Don't try to destroy the air defenses on the mountain one by one. The only serious thing is to clear the mines for the rescue team. After clearing the mines in advance, eliminate the enemies in the ruins of the clean base. Enemy reinforcements will arrive after the rescue team reaches the ruins, and the blow to the rescue team will be devastating. The approximate strength is three troop carriers and several powerful attack aircraft as well as many attack aircraft. Kill them before they kill all our rescuers to complete the mission.

MISSION 10: FACE OFF (clear) LOCATION: ZONE 1

New weapons: PHALANX (matrix gun); PULSE CANNON (pulse cannon)

Mission Briefing: Thank you for your efforts in convincing us of our ability to fight our enemies decisively. A message was cracked. An enemy cruiser is moving in the direction of our headquarters. We dispatched a mothership to intercept. Usually they are evenly matched, but enemy reinforcements can quickly upset this balance.

Key strategy: Never believe the comfort your boss gives you. Facing the enemy's powerful firepower, our mothership is obviously a piece of cake. However, it is more than enough to deal with attack aircraft and tanks on its own. Let those planes go and destroy the enemy cruisers first.

Similarly, we can land on the cruiser and clear the aircraft mounting port above it and the gun emplacements on both sides. Then destroy other attack points on the cruiser either from the air or from the ground to ultimately eliminate it. Okay, now it shouldn't be a problem to eliminate the enemy's remaining aircraft and tanks.

MISSION 11: PAY BACK (Retaliation) LOCATION: ZONE 5

New weapons: PHOTON STORM (Photon Storm); TRIDENT (Trident)

Mission Briefing: We've given the enemy a break, and their plans involve a secret weapon. Our best staff are working hard to crack more codes. The enemy appears to be undergoing renovations at this time, and some bases (1-4) in heavily defended canyons have ceased operations. We will provide a supply point for you to replenish. But you have to keep those bases safe after destroying them.

Key strategy: sneak attack on the enemy's base is much more satisfying than passively protecting one's own. But be sure not to fly too high in the canyon, otherwise the air defense on the mountain will give you a good look. Destroy the enemy's four bases one after another. Note that there are missiles in the two bases on the left and right. They will be launched in a short time after being attacked. The target is your supply point. So try to intercept these missiles on the ground or in the air. Before each base is attacked, the enemy will release 3 to 6 aircraft. Don't let them pose a threat to your supplies. After finally destroying all bases, the enemy's troop carriers will attack our supply points. There are three ships in a group, destroy them and complete the mission.

MISSION 12: HIT&RUN (guerrilla) LOCATION: ZONE 6

New weapons: HARPOON (harpoon); DISPERSION RIFLE (shotgun)

Mission briefing : The enemy's plan was partially cracked again. There are indications that the enemy has erected many missile launchers in a heavily defended canyon (1-9). Our people will provide you with basic supplies again (10). Be careful, once you are discovered, as a huge threat they will definitely advance the progress of missile launch!

Key strategies: Personally, I think this task can be considered a difficult point in this game. The enemy's missiles are distributed in four parallel canyons, and there are also anti-aircraft defenses on the mountains that can kill them with one shot. Taking out any canyon will allow you to use all your strength, especially if there is more than one missile in the third and fourth canyons. Once the enemy attacks you, it will launch missiles within a short period of time. Fortunately, an attack on a single canyon will not cause a countdown for other missiles. Although you can theoretically intercept missiles in the air, the general situation is that ground and mountain defenses will quickly send you back home. Therefore, the missiles in this canyon must be destroyed before the missiles are launched. Personally, I recommend attacking the most difficult third and fourth canyons first. There are paths on the mountain behind the supply point that lead to each of the four canyons, so you can attack one canyon without being discovered by the others. The troop deployments in the four canyons are: 1: anti-aircraft artillery and attack aircraft, and one missile; 2: anti-aircraft artillery (note that the air defense is very powerful near the missile) and mines all over the canyon, and one missile; 3: quite intensive artillery fire , four missiles; 4: anti-aircraft guns, mothership and attack aircraft, two missiles.

MISSION 13: GATEWAY (channel) LOCATION: ZONE 7

New weapons: HEAVY BOMB (heavy bomb); GAUSS GUN (magnetic induction gun)

Mission Briefing: We have deciphered the remaining data and there is no secret weapon. It's even worse than that! The enemy has constructed a new space jump tunnel through which they plan to transport the rest of their forces on Earth. We discovered a huge source of energy (1) deep in the swamp. Well it just means one thing: you have to destroy that tunnel before the enemy's Earth connection is established.

Key strategies: Head towards the goal and you will soon find the legendary passage. Be careful not to get too close to the glowing thing. The huge energy is not something you can bear. There is a fort on each side of the passage. It is recommended to deal with them first. Pay attention to the order of attacks. Each horizontal protective device is connected to the vertical protective devices on both sides, and the vertical one can only be attacked after the horizontal device is opened. It is recommended that when attacking the horizontal device, you first open one side and destroy the connected vertical device before destroying the other side. Otherwise, it will be unpleasant to have the artillery fire from both sides attack you at the same time. In the meantime, enemy planes will come to the rescue. Usually before you destroy all protective devices, the enemy's passage has been opened. Don't be too hasty until the last vertical guard is destroyed. Then several huge engines will be exposed in front of you, don't hesitate to smash them. All planes will attack you after you destroy the second engine, destroy the other engines as quickly as possible if possible. Because there is no end to the flight. After all the engines have finished playing, run as fast as possible. The farther you can run, the better. Note: This mission only has a meager ammo supply, and there is no way to restore HP.

MISSION 14: SALVATION (Salvation) LOCATION: ZONE 8

Mission briefing: You alone saved the "Sun God" from Armageddon (the battlefield of the final battle between good and evil at the end of the world) ”, but the war has not yet been won. The enemy gathered the last remaining forces to attack areas where our military deployment was weak. Cooperate with our mothership and her daughter ships to protect the base (1), immigration area (2) and energy sentry (3-4). This is it, where the war will end.

Key strategy: In the last mission of the game, a large number of enemy attack units attack our targets in batches. There's really nothing else we can do except destroy the enemy as much as possible before they destroy any of our target points.

Well, this part is left to the readers to enjoy...

Epilogue: The battle is over, and with everyone's salute, our fighting hero walks towards the sunset...
