Yeah that was it. I just liked to bomb shit. It was stupid that you couldn't destroy his Goblin. I dropped several barrels on it, and nothing happened.

UPDATE: After just a week of having the game, I have finished the mission Black Project.

I find Zero bloody annoying in that mission, I mean he wont shut up. I can only fly as fast as the chopper can fly, so once or twice I bomb him instead...lol

Yeah, he needs to be quiet if there's something in his way. Still, it's a fun mission.

lol yeah so true, I'm stuck on the mission where you have to steel the military plane (aka hydra) off the ship (its one of the last missions of the game on los santos), and then destroy the boats
can anyone help me, or do i just have to get better at fying so I don't crash into the cliff every time!

re: Help, Hints & Tips Thread

Have you switched it to plane mode from hover mode? If you haven't hold the right thumbstick forward for 3 secs until the view jumps and it will now be in plane mode. Much easier to fly with.

If you have done that and are still having trouble, I found the best way to do it is go out of range, then do one sweep across them. Then turn around and do another sweep. If you are far enough away they can't see you when you turn.

Have you used the lock-on feature? Hold X. Sorry, I'm not on this mission, so I don't know what to do. I don't know if they tell you what the Hydra can do. I've only used it once.

Is there a really easy way to get the firetruck missions completed? Like a glitch or something?

re: Help, Hints & Tips Thread

Well, I did the firetruck missions starting at The Strip in Las Venturas.

It took me two times, but technically only one. I accidentaly clicked the right thumbstick button because I was used to it being that way in Vice City. It was amazingly easy. I dunno, maybe I was just good at it, but you can probably do it too.

I tried Zero's first mission but can't shoot down all the planes before they take out his antena's. Any tips for that?

re: Help, Hints & Tips Thread

There aren't really many tips for that mission Abby, you just have to have quick reflexes. Keep checking your radar to see which plane is closest to you and go for that one.

Always hold down R because you have unlimited ammo. There really isn't much I can help you with here. Also look at you radar, and if you're down to one antenna, just protect that one and don't bother shooting ones that are far away until they get close. Also, lead you target just a tiny bit. Aim at the front, and you will hit in the middle.

P.S. You spelt antenna wrong, so I corrected it for you.

re: Help, Hints & Tips Thread

a very good way to beat the ambulance missions is to do it in a very small town with its own hospital such as one of the small towns in the bad lands or directly above los santos, as you'll only need to go a little ways to get each patient

if you try one town and you keep having trouble navigating it than try a diff one untill you find one that suits you

re: Help, Hints & Tips Thread

Yeah that is what I did. I think I went to Angel Pine as that is very small and makes the missions a lot easier.

re: Help, Hints & Tips Thread

The Patriot is strictly a military vehicle in this game. You can only find them at military compunds. I suggest getting the one at Area 69. Just break open the southeastern gate, take it, head north to the airstrip, park in the garage, and save. Then you can take the Patriot back. I love getting this thing and taking three other guys on drive-bys with it.
