damn you GTA

Ugh....I just finished like the hardest mission in GTA:SA so far, Zero's Supply Lines...mission. That freakin red baron little plan handled like crap, and then they give you like the same amount of fuel you could fit in a thimble. :( :( :( Took like 20 tries...so much so I could here the reverb of the engine's little high pitched whine in my head after I stopped playing! It's always the same, kill the first 3, then burn all your fuel trying to get the other two, and lord knows it's not the game spawns them in the same spot. I swear there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's like the space time continuum has explosive diarrhea. Anyways I found an FAQ that gave me to real good tips, here ya go: Alternate Strategy by Deadly Samurai: The way I beat this mission with fuel to spare is to take off, cut left, and just shoot the van until the driver gets out. Don't kill him yet! Next, go left again to shoot the biker to make him get off the bike. Don't kill him either! Both of these guys will chase after you, so go west now and blow up the van. I find getting right up in front of him works best. Now wait. You do not burn fuel while idle, so position the plane on the street accordingly and just wait. The first two guys will come after you, and shoot them down as they appear on the street. You should still have a 95% full fuel tank at this point simply by being patient. This should be more than enough to go north after the last two guys and get back to Zero's roof. I got back with about a quarter tank of fuel left. You still need to position yourself correctly to kill the last two guys, but if you follow this strategy the pressure is off, and you won't be as frustrated even if you fail because one of the couriers kills you because this strategy is nearly foolproof.
