you know its too difficult when you see the tutorial instanly starts with an exploit

I didn't even know these were "bonus" missions. I thought I just couldn't start the follow-on missions...

Quite the disappointment to find out the next mission where actualy the same mission with different parameters. I was looking forward to a more story driven series of missions. Like move inland, capture Cean or something along those lines. Loved the premessis of this first mission, but feel these next two are the lazy option by wargaming.

You can actually stay in the water all the way at the edge of the map at the start for all 4 bunkers. Even if you don't see the health bars, you can follow the amount of damage the naval guns do in the HUD and switch targets based on that. Then the Sherman Crab spawns in front of you and you can push it straight away. Also I found it to be easier and more reliable to fight the first two Pz IVs, then get the 5th bunker. You can hug the cliff edge so it still struggles to hit you, while you don't need to rely on RNG that much, and lose time on missing your shots from the beach.

12:17 the only yt video on this channel where QB swears and it doesnt get censored

They've uptated this challenge: now it's 16 minutes AND the bunkers can now shoot you all the way to the edge of the map...

If you break the F6 banker before the D5 one like your 10days ago video you get additional arty strike then bomb D5 one. I think this way you can advance faster. I finished the mission in this way.

It is to hard and maybe such high pressure challenges should not take place in a perceived casual mod, but I think people should treat them like a speed running challenge after you finish a game type mission, not a must do low brain power daily mission.

idk why they had to implement this tryhard mission, its so frustrating with all the RNG factors and the gamemode is not fun enough to justify wasting 1-2 hours to get the cheese done, u literally get better rewards for playing a battle of frontline then completing this PvE mission

Only 4 important things to get that 15mins mission. 1: hug the water at start 2: use the barrages effectively (target bunkers quick) 3: don't shoot that jagpanzer and use a barrage on it 4: keep moving to do 2 and 3 quickly and don't be afraid to lose a tank if required.

I still haven't done it on easy mode. 4 minutes off and the best tank loss has been 1. That move to the left of the 1st inland bunker is a nice one though. That will definitely help. Cheers QB. The clock continuing to tick over once the mission is completed is just bullshit.

here's something interesting: i did the mission without dying once, and that somehow bypassed the 15 minute rule and gave me all the rewards (i did it in around 16 minutes) don't go for less than 15 minutes, go for zero deaths

Great guide QB, keep up the good work!

yeah ive tried it like 10 times and I just cant complete it. mostly cus the friendly AI takes forever to do stuff initially. But I followed this guide and did it first time! thanks qb

I rarely, if ever have issues with these one-off missions, but I couldn't figure this one out (never thought of retreating at start). Thanks so much for the video!!! Managed to complete it within a few tries after watching it.

I just love that one of the camo's for completing this whole thing has painted on the side "Do not submerge above this line". Seems perfect given how to complete the first part reliably.

@quickybaby, they listened to you!!! now we have 16 minutes to complete the mission!!

Love your videos QB even if I dont play reguralry last few months still like to watch your vids!!❤️❤️

Thx QB it helped sooooo much:)

Never thought I'd see QB doing a speedrun.

Thank u qb u helped me so much!

Thank you for the great Guide, I've been trying on the two missions, and failed miserably. It is very useful.

Thx for the video @Quickybaby, gonna try it once i've done my daily's :)

Thank you - with this I successfully completed it under 15 min. (Clock stopped at like 14:10, but hey! I'm not complaining xD )

I did it first try after watching the video. I was off with my run by about 30 seconds. Not shooting the Jagdpanther and using the Artillery helped. It's also up to RNG where your bots can help you kill the Panthers, and they will do some damage + distract them, so you can go ahead and just use a strike on them. You basically cannot be mad if you keep failing, take a break. And yes Run. This is basically Overlord%. Anything goes wrong, just restart.

Thanx Quicky! Very valuable content. While I am an overall green player with roughly 1630 WN8 - and therefore far away from your performance level - I certainly am no slouch either. But I also find the 15 minute assignment tough to achieve. Your tips like driving backwards into the shallow water at the start and help working down that MG bunker as well as not attacking the JPanther so he wont attack you (which is odd by the way) to the tipp from where to attack the german tank reinforcements best are very helpful. I needed 3 tries to accomplish the bonus task without losing a single vehicle. Now - equipped with yout tipps - I will try this mission later on. Thanx for sharing...

Somehow got it first try after the tutorial, before that I had tried at least 5 times and gave up haha. Thanks a ton!

Doing this on Rigorous difficulty is basically impossible. Even the "normal" difficulty is a giant pain in the ass.

Thx Qb. I had watched a few other vids, and the water exploit was the key here. Did the 15 min. on the first try and the last one after a few tries. Gg!

Thanks for the guide QB. Didn't matter for me though, my pings are far too large. I take damage before I can react. After a dozen tries, I gave it up. WG doesn't want sweaty scrubs like me succeed at this and get their paltry lootz. With the coming theft of my skills I worked YEARS on accruing, (we only get a Skill Book for those over 6?) my time in this game is limited. Well, they succeeded on getting thousands of $$$ from me over a decade and might have got more but too many thefts of both time and money. I have always enjoyed your content sir and wish you and Tanya health and happiness in the future.

WoT listened to you Quicky! They changed the time for Rigorous to 16 minutes and the last 15 seconds are not counted against the achievement (I had a time of 16:09 and it gave me the achievement).

Thank you QB, I wouldnt make it without you!

After several attempts I concluded it pretty near impossible to get the victory in 15 mins. QB has virtually confirmed this, at least for my skill level. Obviously, it couldn't have been easy in reality on D day and there would only have been one chance and none to learn any nuance of enemy (model) behaviour. Which makes the WoT challenge a bit too unrealistic. I guess it would have been too expensive for WoT to model subsequent challenges, at battles further inland from the beachhead, rather than setting time limits for the same battle.

At 7:17 it is possible to use a shortcut by simply driving up the hill on the left, this way you can take out 2 bunkers more quickly (first the Jpanther one, then the Dubois bunker). Helped me alot!

It's just too dang hard. I tried everything (obviously I haven't found these "not shoot the JPanther strat and such"), sequence breaks with dropping nukes on barely in range bunkers... always got my ass handled... And sometimes, when I play safe, my allies charge in and when they're dead (the third time I think) I lose... very fun... :/ So I have to replay this "fun mode", because of the missions. So overall, I liked, the setting, the voicelines... but the 10th time it's not so fun anymore... Thanks QB for the guide, will fire the game up again, and try it this way :)

Thanks QB

15min is more difficult than the survival mission. Got the third mission on my 2nd play. 15min I dont have it yet after 2 days of playing

Im happy I got the beginning same as you :D

Thanks to you, it's clear!

Shooting in between the bottom front of the panther turrets and the hull is an instant kill

This game mode is something else... The first mission was easy, and when the second mission came with "Don't lose a tank" I was like "Eh, possible, gonna give it a try on hard". I didn't even make it to the small sand dunes in the beginning and I already lost 50% of my HP and my engine from the bunkers...

If you are have trouble doing it in 15 minutes. Watch Sahm Lockhart video on how to do it instead. Was able to do if first try. Some of the thing QB does cost a lot of time. Like the first bunker on the hill. If you destroy it before the first wave of Panzers yolos you, it will cause the first stug to be out of position. That can cost you 30 seconds, because you have to wait for him to get into position before you can strike him. Also you will waste 16 seconds on missed shots for the first hill top bunker if you try to snipe it. It is easy to avoid damage from it if you stick to the cliff side. You can also kill all 4 panthers in a battle ship strike if you stick to the left side at the end. They have a rally point on the left side of the bunker and they will all group up.

if you kill the last tank before the 15 minute timer it still counts even though the timer goes below 15 and ends, i got my last kill at 15:02 and the timer stopped at 14:48 and still got the mission done

Tbh, for me it was bigger problem finishing with no deaths, but the 15 minute run I didn't even use the exploits, you have 3 tanks and if you used your airstrikes you don't care if you died because your main damage against panthers and bunkers are the airstrikes, not you shooting at them... I do agree 15minutes is too low, I did it on the first run in 14:30 and I was sweating at the long time it took for it to actually declare my victory xD

WG have perfected the lets make it complicated'', apart from spending money. I started back in 2012, the game was simple, and fun. It was a joy to spend time in. Then corridor maps appeared, graphics improved which was nice, but every iteration, new thing, has made it less fun, and more like a job to keep up. For the casual 'lets blow some **** up' days have gone. Still enjoy your vids though QB, thank you

they just changed to 16 minutes and I got the mission now!! lolsss... thanks QB

This may have been the first time in a while that QB has sworn on his YT channel

at 7:14 you can climb up the ridge and go for that bunker on top immediately. Then go over to the south bunker

TY 🙏

Totally agree with you. I tried a couple of times and failed ofc, so I'm not motivated at all to do these missions. As you said QB, this game mode should be fun and easy, not frustrating and wanting to delete the game and break my keyboard and mouse :)

Was too hard for me. Just made me rage. Had to stop playing that game mode.

I was kinda hoping that the event played in part with the events after dday. Would have been cool if they added a new map for Carentan and then had the next set of missions there.

At this point I'm convinced that there is a dedicated "Anti-Fun Department" at WG. Why not just have a fun (subjective) little mode for people to enjoy? No, we have to add missions that require (borderline) exploits, speed run strats and good RNG. I expected the two missions to be the same but with the other battle pas tanks (maybe from a slightly different PoV).

The ally bots will sometimes just sit there at the end and not do anything; also they are doing a server maintenance today related to this and are gonna make this easier

Best I did was 17ish minutes, but damn, I gotta retry this tonight, Thanks for the vid. I think they should have made it 17 minutes because all my friends didn't make it.

The last 15 seconds count in the endgame stats, but the mission timer ends when the last enemy dies. There's a guide on KZfaq where the guy killed the last Panther at 15:02 and he got the mission.

That jpanther + bunker middle exploit was a part I was missing

I would say that they should give everything when they reach the final part and it doesn't matter if they die, the important thing is to complete the 15 minutes, then in the other game they no longer worry about time and survive.

So pleased you have stated exactly what I thought. Even in the easy mode, I have not managed to complete it faster than 15m 40s. I can't see how to lose 41 seconds off the fastest time I achieved. I could see maybe 20 seconds faster but nothing beyond that. Obviously, it is not impossible, I saw you do it, but it is really difficult and somewhat unreasonable.

Good Guide! 15min is ok.

I was disappointed that it was only bonus missions, and really hard ones at that. I had hoped for a follow-up scenario further in-land. But there are some good tips in here that might help do the trick the next time I try.

Took me 3 tries to get the first mission done, but I did both of the harder missions first try :D It was pretty close though, had like 10 seconds left. Yu really have to hit the panthers on the first try, so there's quite a bit of luck involved too

Kept finishing it with 13-14 minutes left, and totally gave up after spending waaaaay too much time on this mode. I will give it another go after watching QB, especially after seeing where I was losing time.

Spot on QB, I thought there would be different battles such as moving inland to the battle of caen mabe, so to play this beach battle over again in under 15 minutes, and with 1 tank to complete bonus missions is to much, no fun not going to bother with it, what a shame !!!!

Thanks QB, this is a dog if a mission and it is pissing me off. Wasting too much time and energy on it. I have the Tiger131 now so not too worried about the Panther😁

My problem wasn't running out of time or me being killed....most of my gameplay was over because my allies all died in the last fight.

Thats great QB, now do it again but with no lives lost on Rigorous difficulty

Thanks, I don't feel so bad now, I found the rigours mode to hard and not enjoyable. But at least now I might stand a chance.

You know a mission is hard when even QB is struggling and gets lucky in some scenarios

You actually can finish exactly exactly above 15:01 as that was the time i got on my third try and it gave me the reward.

After you killed everything, you have to wait more enemies to spawn and there is a time limit?

Tbh i prefer this kind of event were is like a challenge that you need to complete instead of a mindless 40Hrs grind But i can understand that most people just wanna chill and have some fun driving a tank around WG should do with these kind of events like they did with the tank marathons back in the days where you have 2 ways to complete a stage either you complete a challenge or you grind a certain amount of exp that way most of the people should be happy also maybe add more maps so it doesn't get boring that fast but that's just my opinion :)

I did it first try without dying, its not too hard you just need to know how to do it, you can save a lot of time if you do a boost in the middle, I think that it’s a good thing if it provides some challenge.

After 50 attempts, I was able to finish the mission in 15 minutes. It's really quite difficult. At first I thought the problem was me.

According to what you get, it should be 20mins and you can loose 1 tank. That is doable. My personal best is 16minutes, and it was really tough...

I'm surprised QB managed it in time despite losing A LOT of precious time. I've seen a couple tricks from another CC that allow you to save some time by focusing on having the bombardments earlier. - Get 2nd arti ealier: after destroying the first bunker and JPanther close to it, and destroying the sneaky Stug, you can actually make the climb a little after. This allows you to drop a clean arti on the central bunker (all while destroying the JPanther) which grants you the 2nd arti, which you can quickly use to clean the last bunker close to the ARL alley - Get 3rd arti earlier: Shortly after the previous step, at which you have 2 artis, on their next reload focus the bigger bunker behind. You need 2 strickes, but you have them. This will grant you the third strike, which you can use to destroy the very last bunker. This should eventually trigger the next waves of tanks earlier In the end, what might take you the longest is to clean the tanks, especially manage to strike the Panthers fast

7:50 for anyone that does this, the bunker doesn't reload quickly. You can drive right past it after it shoots Dubois.

Finally did every mission for normal and vigorous gotta say 15 minute vigorous was more difficult than doing vigorous with not a single life destroyed

My second eldest Son has been playing tanks since it's inception....he LOATHES the missions, says the bots are pure stupidity and that it's pretty much impossible to get through....however, I'm going to have him watch this for some possible trips as I've not seen his attempts from across the room lolz, I'll also be retrying, noobie style, with the maneuvers that I saw you do.

At 7:12 you can climb up the hill on the left, and nuke the Bunker in the center early, then you will unlock the second nuke early, which saves a lot of time

Tried after watching this on the stream, part of the BS is just the general inaccuracy of the A1 gun. 3:01 During one run I wasted 20 seconds trying to aim for the inland bunker that gets destroyed by the spitfire from the airstrike The first 4 bunkers have a weak spot. If you consistently hit it the destroyer barrage does full damage, but you need to fire at it at least twice otherwise the destroyer will cease fire The easy mode is more forgiving, I did both on the first try. The battleship arty also drops in 4 seconds after placing down instead of 6

Rest time 14:42 i have win this challange . Thanks for help. Meine Restzeit war 14:42 ich hab die 15 Minuten Aufgabe trotzdem geschafft😉 Danke für die guten Tipps.

ty

I had no issues with finishing within the time limit. But I can’t beat it without losing a tank.

I agree

But ordinary players should opt for a 'regular' mission, as it is easier since the enemies don't shoot that well. In my second battle, I completed both 2 extra missions in the regular battle.

Is the only difference between Regular and Rigorous just the lives? I seem to do Regular okay within 3 [when I have 5] lives but trying Rigorous I get my lives eaten up (or time out and lose trying to look after them)

I like the challenge but I agree with you. The average player (I am little better than average) will not find this attainable. I have not finished it in under 15 but I am enjoying the challenge.

What are his visual settings? I want it because of 5:16 its so clean

Did it first try but got it within 1 second, and I was definitely sweating

I can't finish it (skill shortage on my part) but I do enjoy it 🙂

Actually I am happy to make it in time in normal difficulty. Might be able to do it in hard as well, but I think I am better of just playing the game to progress the battle pass and have fun instead of wasting hours to try to get every task for theses missions done. And especially the start feels a bit frustrating without this trick because the small earth or sand "walls" are not high enough to cover, and even if you keep moving all the time you get hit every once in a while.

For me it was easy, both done in first try. What dissapoints is, that those 2 missions are just a repeat of what had to be done a week before. In addition I think an extra mission with a real hard difficulty would have been nice. At all, for a casual player, those rewards arent worth the time trying. Better waste the time in Frontline, much more fun.

Scorpiany managed to climb the slope after taking out the first bunker, and he then took out the 2nd one with Jpanther. This gave the second bombard earlier which is very effective. However, I can't climb the slope. No idea how he managed to do it

Yeah, even as a okish player (2x Legend) this crossed the line from difficult into annoying. The part that I find really frustrating is the missions just feels lazy especially when compared to Warships which despite having a smaller Dev team managed to create 3 different PVE missions for the anniversary.

I did it in 2 days after like 20ish try After the beach, rush up everything and lost 2 tanks on purpose after using smoke to shave some time Managed to done it with 4 secs to spare FYI, It said under 15 mins. The post conversation took around 13 secs so basically u should finish it in 14 min and 45 secs

In what dificult you play?

Thx for taktic ,aem play this mision 7taims and end 8 for 15min 20sec😮 thx ❤ (my tank destroy 2 taims)

Lmao! I thought It was just me having a hard time doing it in under 15 min, thinking I was soooooo bad

For whatever reason, the modules on these tanks seem to have only half their effective health. If you know where the fuel tanks and ammo racks are, you can drop a Pz or Panther in just a few shots, with bonus dopamine because detonations, woo.
