Spoilers ahead.  I'm just going to be blogging my laughable MGS progress throughout this thread.

So books weren't expensive this year, and saving isn't a thing, so I decided to get MGS V.  My background is playing Snake Eater and most of Twin Snakes something like 8 years ago, and bum-rushing through most of Snake Eater again last summer.

So after playing Mission 8 (?), where I have to intercept tanks, I got the feeling I wasn't exactly doing something right.  It took 16 C4 charges, and like an hour, to murder the tanks.

I have my dev team at level 5 or 6 or something, and I'm getting the impression that they should be drastically higher by this point, because I couldn't craft a better fulton, or anything that makes a bigger boom.  Should I be fulton-lifting everything in sight?  Because, I've been doing missions by taking out as few people as possible, and hiding the ones that I do.

So to all the MGS fanboys, have any general tips that might help in the long run?

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
IT'S LEAKING OUT

Fulton everyone you can at first. Fill your staff so you can develop good shit. When your staff units fill up, you will automatically put the best ones into the units that they fit in. Upgrade your binos you can analyze what skills they have, and wether or not they're worth rescuing. But at that point in the game you're better off just fulton-ing everyone you see.

And on that mission you only need to take out 1 tank to complete it, then just fuck around for the rest of the time, or complete the optional objectives. Remember there are no checkpoints in the mission so if you die, you're back at the start.

I don't believe in megathreads.  I'm a special snowflake, whose problems are top-priority.

Noted.  Thanks.

I beat it right before making the thread.  Didn't know about the 1 tank thing, but oh man, it took FOREVER to get 8 low-level C4 charges on them, slipping in and out of the base to grab supply drops.

Just meet the minimum requirements for the mission, then replay it later when you've got better gear.

Also make sure you extract the bionic specialist at the start of that mission, he'll come in handy later for some of the bionic arm upgrades. He's running away from some guards near post 15 iirc.
