200+ meters up though, I'm almost always hitting it from the top or at a slight angle to the top. And their radar blip will go white for a while as if the vehicle were vacant/destroyed, but then it'll become active again.

After you've disabled it, fly behind it and shoot rockets at its back until it literally explodes?

If that doesn't work well at least you'll know the mission is bugged.

Tried the easier one of the "Clean Sweep" missions, where a black ops team has to clear an entire town of occupying Russians.

We did alright for a bit, then stumbled around a corner and got destroyed by a single machine gunner.

Well, that was realistic.

Cold War Crisis again.

If Chicken Run were the title of a snuff film (not the claymation film), then you'd have tonight's session of Speedrunners against my brothers.

Zero Skill is a deadly level, regardless of skill level and ranking. I've never been shot at with so many missiles, fire-boulders and shockwaves in such a short span of time (a good half-dozen attacks hitting me at the same time). And to top it off, I also got tenderized by a long row of spikes. Ouch.

Speedrunners

EDIT:
And Steam Broadcast is still incompatible with Vista. It would've been fun to watch.

I didn't die, but my ghoul did. Many Sabbat did not die, they had their very minds broken, for that. I'm still not satisfied. I never got the best armor in the game or had an oppurtunity to tell her to leave(she disappeared from my haven before she was supposed to).

My last soldier rounded the corner, causing the enemy plasma toting giants to scatter, and ending the round. It was now their turn, and they took advantage, causing massive havoc among my troops with some well placed plasma grenades, even armored in mechanized exoskeletons as they were. One of my soldiers panicked and decided he would help out the enemies, against all reason shooting one of his comrades dead.

Somehow, a previously unseen massive flying saucer also got in on the action on the next round. That was the fusion lance that tore the camel in half.

 Yeah, I'm a noob at this game, but man the RNG can be unforgiving.

Sorry for the double post, apparently I hit quote instead of modify, and saved before I realized it. Phone is suckling for browsing and posting on the forums lately.

Prior to that, some bad timing and lack of preparation ended up with me losing all but one of my characters, a woman possessed by the spirit of a demon; she I had recruited further up in the dungeon,  and was a bit underlevelled,  but was able to singlehandedly take out a few more floors of enemies. At the third level with her, causing her to become unlocked, she ended up dying, causing a restart.

The next game I started with her and another guy, and actually managed my first clear... on "Very Easy."

I've got a while to go yet.

Rukodiora killed one of my teammates with his sweeping beam. Then me. Then me again.

I was doing pretty good so far. No deaths and I'd acquired four options, the laser, missiles and two speed ups. The most tense moment came as I was dodging the giant lady boss. The end was in sight though, I just had to fly underneath one more time-

I made it! Wait, WHAT KILLED ME!?

I had been skimming along the "floor" of the stage to avoid the giant lady's footsteps. It turns out, the small yellow bumps in the floor count as solid objects and you will die if you touch one.

2 Pro tips:
1) Your farthest moving person should always be the first person you move. Later movements should never go beyond the spot the first guy did in any direction.
2) Move everyone for their first move, then go back and overwatch them all (as opposed to going move->overwatch, move->overwatch, etc.). That means that if you do accidentally trigger a pod all your guys still have 1 move to take cover or open fire.

Was so caught up in the groove I failed to see the red dragon on the other side of the room. 1 misstep later, and the fire blasted forth, incinerating to of the disco skeletons but blasting away my sat few bits of HP.

Rayden is stupid and cheap and I hate him so much. His torpedo move does way too much damage and he can perform it many times consecutively without delay.

Sub-Zero got me cornered and low-punched me into oblivion.

Johnny Cage just got lucky. Usually I beat him pretty handily but he utterly wrecked me this one time.
