Is that on Standard mode?

Spoilers again:
To get the ammo dump, clear out *all* the troops around it. Once you
do, it won't explode when opened. If I recall correctly, the contents
is 5 missiles, 50 shells, 20 interceptors (the most of any dump),
20-30 armor piercing shells, and possibly other things I can't
remember the amount of right now.

It always seems to strike just as I'm concentrating on hitting
snipers in the woods, and I have to play in arcade mode for the ammo
factor as usually the ammo dump goes boom! :)

In my experience, missiles have actually been incapable of hitting
that artillery (they just fly over it). The only way I've found that
may possibly kill one (there's no real way to tell if it's dead
beyond points in arcade mode, and since we don't know how many there
are, no way to tell if you got them all) is to hammer it with shells
and machinegun fire (standard shells can land on the gun if you set
the range carefully). Even on the easiest difficulty, "killing" a
single gun can take dozens of shells on target. After hitting send
here I'll fire up the game and really run some tests, and post back
with my results.
All this said, in a practical sense, your best bet is to defend
against it as best you can, and hope it doesn't kill your friendly
tanks before you can make it out of the area.

the moving artillery on that level can be attacked or defended
against in two ways.

space.
The moving artillery does not stand still but moves back and forth,
so firing at it will likely miss.
I stock up on cruise missiles, which will destroy tanks and moving
artillery in a larger radius, then fire one to the left then to the
right of the location the moving artillery last fired. .
Meanwhile I turn on the smoke for defensive purposes.

That artillery is definitely the single worst part of the game. It
cannot to my knowledge be truly destroyed, even if you hammer on
it for an extended period (i.e: don't bother trying).
General strategy is (if you don't want spoilers stop here):
When entering the sector, approach the first row of woods. For all
troops, use your machine gun (shells are both overkill and
difficult to aim). The troops are in groups of four or five, so if
you hit one, fire a few more times until you hear them stop dying.
Once you clear out the first several batches of them, you can
either enter the first row of woods and use them as cover to clean
the second, or just drive down the road towards the bridges
eliminating troops as they show up.
Somewhat confusingly, the second bridge is the left hand one.
Good luck!

Hi I was wondering if anyone could please give me some tips on
how to pass the first part of sector 5 of GTC, the part before
the bridge? I accidentally destroyed one of the bridges and went
over what I thought was the other bridge, but fell through it, so
I must have tried to cross the broken one.
Where I'm struggling is with the artillary, as when I'm trying to
kill the snipers hiding in the woods I'm finding it hard
switching quickly between the intercepters and the shells or my
machine gunn fast enough, and sometimes it's almost as though the
game freezes while the artillary's misile is in mid air, so it's
not giving me a lot of time to shoot back or fire my
intercepter. Is there a way to turn off that mobile thing, or
enable training mode so he stays in 1 place until I'm used to the
sector layout?
Does anyone have the invisability cheat code? I don't usually
like cheating, but it'd be handy to be invisible while taking
stock of my surroundings.
Thanks from Lori.
