I honestly have no idea what I gotta do to clear this stage, I mean I know I gotta defeat Van's tank thing but inbetween me and him are swarms of long ranged machines that I can't really maneuver around or fight with just 4 people, by the 4th turn the mission is typically a lost cause.
I've gotten that one secret wanzer part thing from the germany email thing which kinda helps but not really enough because the arms are melee based and neither of Ash, Joyce, Amia, or Pike are melee people, those three Helicopters don't really do too much either.
Are there any other secret parts that I'm missing out on? gamefaq guides have helped but they aren't really enough, when i go on youtube I see people either playing on easy (i'm on normal) or people with HP pools in the 700's which is way higher than the 250's that everyone has, well except Ash who has 650 due to those parts. I eventually managed to figure out how to beat 1 and 3 with little help if any but 2 seems like a completely different beast.
Thanks in advance if this gets any useful tips.
