Protect your tanks by shooting down all planes in "Operation Cobra" - 20
This is done on Mission 2: Operation Cobra
About half way through the mission, your tank battalion will come under attack by German Planes, so you end up manning an Anti-Air Gun, demanded to take the planes out to protect your convoy. There are a couple of waves of planes, but the cannon is automatic and planes don't move that quickly. Lieutenant Pierson calls out the planes locations' in the screen, the location commands sounds like; "Planes at 2 O'Clock". If you don't understand what Pierson means by 2 O'Clock for example - think about a clock, with straight ahead being 12 O'Clock, 2 O'Clock is going to be to the left, 45 Degrees of your position. Also you will need to shoot where the planes are going to be, rather than their current location, this is because the planes are far away and it will take a short amount time for the shots to travel to the plane.
The German Planes used are Junkers Ju 87, nicknamed Stuka, which means "dive bomber" in German. It was used for air-to-ground combat mostly by the Luftwaffe. The phrase "Ack Ack" is slang for Anti-Aircraft Gunfire, used by WWII Soldiers.
