Problems on "Island Attack" - Formidable

[Fidibus]

Okay...until now the game really had some challenges for me, but somehow I managed to get through with it without trying easy or normal but this one drives me nuts...
I played this piece of junk level so often, that I can manage to take out the four energy points in about 2-3 minutes without loosing a life...
As soon as the cannon is exposed I know you´re supposed to "persuade" your enemy to shoot his own freaking cannon...that just doesn´t work for me...

Is he supposed to shoot the actual cannon on top or does the base of it also count...I hope I can make myself understandable. Thanks

Agreed that this one is frustrating, but not nearly as bad as Save Pepper, or Flying Fortress.

I just did this one myself, so some tips:

- take it slow, clear out all the enemies at all four locations before destroying the couplings
- weaken (but don't destroy) each of the four couplings.
- then destroy the four of them as quickly as possible
- once they're gone, eliminate any blue dot not near the center island
- head to the island. Ignore the idea about trying to get the guy to shoot the cannon, instead hover around an edge of the island where you're too low for any enemies on the island to get you (not counting flying units) and just keep shooting at the tower yourself. It takes awhile, but you will eventually destroy it.
- the only enemies I killed while attacking the cannon were any flying units that would fire off missles at me.

Hope this helps.

Thanks man.

The tip about destroying every opposition AFTER I grilled the 4 knots did it for me. It stopped the long range cannons from ripping me to shreds. The idea didn´t occur because of all the respawning shite.
