TheWoWDBAvoid this one if you have other options, you get so little progress for each kill/rescue. Very sluggish.

this would be a lot more satisfying if the vehicles didn't seem to randomly self destruct and aimed hella better
The mortars are fun but about half the time the WQ is glitched. You kill a few bad guys, the mortar disappears and you get...no credit. Oh well, back again with another mortar and kill a few more bad guys and get... no credit. I think the mortars in it for the fun of blowing things up. Unless you're using the mortars to shoot down the hanging thingies, you're just treading water. You still need to whack the bad guys in melee to get any credit. They're not difficult to kill and have no tricks I've encountered but it's like building a stone wall; it only takes about a week... or two.
