After a couple of mins of shooting, then realizing I wasn't hitting anything, decided to read on here. I abandoned quest and restarted it. Didn't even have to aim perfectly to get a hit. Quest finished in no time at all. Make sure after you blow up a plane, to fire at it again, so you hit the pilots as they parachute. Have fun!

Description

There's no time left. Here they come! Take control of a heavy gun and shoot the gnomes out of the sky! If that bomb takes too many hits it will blow, taking us all with it! Defend the base, {name}! You're our only hope! If we somehow make it out of this in one piece, report to Overlord Krom'gar.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Spare Parts Up In Here!Stonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    Whew, that was tough. I didn't think we'd make it, <name>. We better get these parts back to Chief Blastgineer Bombgutz. I think I hear the gnome flying machines buzzing outside. We haven't got a minute to lose!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eyes and Ears: Malaka'jinStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    Honor's Stand has been lost. The Horde's grip on the Barrens shattered along with the land itself. I now receive reports that we are at risk of losing Malaka'jin to a concerted attack by the Alliance and the Grimtotem. If Malaka'jin falls, half of Stonetalon falls with it!
