WCP GBA Painting the Target

[Ross]

I've been stuck on this mission for a little while now and can't figure out how to beat it, I've tried setting mines by all the cap. ships and that buoy thing but I always get the movie showing the Midway being destroyed. I've also tried destroying all of the cap. ships but then when there are no more enemy ships on radar nothing happens

People have also been asking us about the Targeting Disc and Locating The Jammer missions most often. Hades got through the Targeting Disc mission by doing the following:

When you play the mission and you arrive with all of the enemy ships around, hold the L button and tap the B button until Mines are your currently selected missile. I'm not sure how close you have to be, but what I did was afterburn straight for the jump point beacon (it'll be a light blue dot on your radar), and when I got close I just dropped mines (B button) like crazy. After I'd dropped a certain amount.. not sure how many.. the game autopiloted me back to the Midway.. mission complete.
