The best solution to get GROUND DEFENSE

[Healtti]

I can't seem to get those pesky 50 kills with allied ground units.
Always when I call the allied attack airborne units decimate the targets before tanks can do anything.

Is there a suitable level or an operation to do this. It shouldn't be this difficult :(

your best be it to do it on a level where you need to protect the tanks.
iv traded the game in so i cant remember the level but the one with the oil tanks and the second grasmeria one is good.
i used the allied cover to get this one but if using attack then aim it at ground tragets as this would make it easier for your ground allies to get the kills
(sorry about the spelling)

I just got it as I was going through 3rd time around. But if you can't be bothered to just wait keep doing Ragno Fortress. After the mission update your ground forces move into the fortress.

Draw your support aircraft away and do an allied attack on far away targets - there'll be the odd ESM or something. Then quickly fly back to the fortress and do another allied attack/cover and your ground forces should have a good old bash at the tanks etc... inside the fortress :)
