Some alternate escape routes for Bastille's "Bridge Out" Map (better known as the "Roller Coaster Tycoon" map)

I know many of you hate this map but I find it amusing.

This run is in a 4L Apache with rear mounted HMG. Cargo included a couple cans of fuel and a reload. 22 B armor on all 4 sides.

Instead of taking the road I run the valley shortcut. It isn't as effective as hoped and I take a gunfire hit. I promptly shove 50 calibur right back into the offening vehicle and shave off 1/3 of his side armor.

Notice around turn 112 I choose to try an alternative to both the road and the bridge option. The AI finds this laughable and tries to cut me off by taking the bridge. BOOM! not a good idea Mr Pho... but he recovers and then for some reason tries to follow my scent trail and turns away from me to fall back down the hill.

I discover you can drive in between the X girders of the bridge legs too

I later try another route (around T 165?) and drop down a fallen bridge and climb the other side. This doesnt pan out too well but the AI decides im insane and doesnt bother trying to follow me this time. I turtle coming off the bridge back to regular ground and have to roll the Ape back onto its wheels. I escape 400m by turn 250-ish

Enemy loss: 12 blown tires and about 12 points armor from 50 cal fire and crashes. Minor Weapon and Engine damage to the Pho for his stupidity. Thosands of dollars and some down time for that gang (if they were tracked and managed as we are)

Anyway. some methods to mull over for those still finding this map hard.

Please not that most of this is using Low-Speed Esacpe Tactics. Rarely do I exceed 65Mph. Much of it I intentionally drive at 40Mph.
