Date of Question: May 13th 2006 | Question ID: 55956

Your going to have to keep practing sorry for the spelling,but sluppy lines is a very hard mission to beat.

Hope I help

The easiest way is to land the plane behind or infront of the couriers and start shooting them until it explodes. This is the easiest because it saves gas and makes for an easier kill rather than flying up high trying to hit em while almost hitting things.

To me that was a hard mission for a long time, but I finally passed it. You kind of have to be a experienced driver at it and shoot the vans' really quick. I would always run out of fuel, but I first went to the to vans' farthest away from Zero's building, then went to the van closest to the Zero's building and then the other two. I hoped I helped.

This is in my opinon the hardest mission ever.I shot the cars on the right side of zero's building.Then I went back for the others.

Try harder and you will make it.

Mission 2: Supply Lines...

This is a difficult one, considered by many to be the toughest mission in the game. Luckily it's optional, so you can skip it if proves to be too much of a bother. Apparently the difficulty of this mission was toned down for the Greatest Hits version of San Andreas, so count yourself lucky if you're playing that one. Using the RC Baron, you must eliminate all five of Berkley's couriers before they complete their deliveries, or before the RC plane runs out of fuel. Three of the couriers are in vans, one is on a bicycle and the other is on a motorbike. The fuel meter in the top-right quarter of the screen will decrease as time goes by, so you must eliminate all of the couriers and return to the rooftop of Zero RC before it's depleted. Completing this mission will require practice, a bit of luck, and plenty of patience.

The key to success here is practice. You must be able to pilot the RC Baron, which may take a few runs through the mission. If you wish, ignore the couriers and instead practice controlling the Baron, putting particular emphasis on swooping down and perhaps targeting pedestrian vehicles with the plane's machine gun. Luckily, since your life is not in immediate danger during this mission, in the event of a mission failure you can simply step back into the red marker outside of Zero RC without having to travel back there.

Once you feel you have the controls down pat, attempt the mission with the intent of completing it. There are two couriers nearby at the start; one in a van and the other on a bicycle. While the absence of a target marker suggests no auto-aim, the machine gun seems to target the couriers as long as the RC Baron is facing towards them. Target the van first; swoop down and hit it with gunfire, this driver should get out once the van has been hit, allowing you to gun him down. Afterwards, swoop around and go for the courier on the bicycle. He is easy enough to take out; just swoop towards him and fire away.

That's two down, three to go. That leaves two vans and the motorbike. The order in which you go for the remaining targets is up to you, but be aware that you will have to actually destroy the other vans, as the drivers won't flee from them. The final three targets are particularly difficult to take down in that they will fire at the RC Baron, which cannot sustain very much damage at all. For this reason, when targeting one of the vans, avoid flying near the passenger's side. The machine gun can destroy the vans fairly easily, so fly off as soon as you spot the van on fire. The motorbike courier will shoot at you also, so fly high for the approach and swoop in for a quick kill. When all five of Berkley's couriers have been dealt with, make a beeline for the Zero RC building. Land on the red marker to complete the mission.
