This will contain spoilers.
I was doing this mission and I encountered a bit of a strange bug that nearly makes completing the mission impossible if you don't know what you're doing.
Right at the end of the mission, you have to defeat the dude who appeared in star trek in his battle armour. The obvious solution is to use Natasha's pilot snipe weapon, and it works... it will stop him dead in his tracks and he won't move... however, the mission will not end. Because the game doesn't register that as a kill.
If you snipe kill the pilot, you'll notice that you have the option to move someone inside the unit and claim it... however, the unit will not enter, even if the computer co-op tries to enter, it won't work.
Now if you get your other units to try and attack this now motionless enemy, they will not attack him.
Meaning you can't complete the mission.... if... you do not know what you're doing/never played a C&C game before.
The way around this problem is to either use your special abilities which will harm the guy (although you will have to wait for them to recharge. Or... Send some tanks/V4 rocket launchers to the guy and have them force fire on him. To force fire, hold R1 and double tap X on the target. Even if they do not score direct hits, the splash damage from each shell will damage it until it's eventually destroyed.
So if after what feels like hours you get to this point and start to panic because you can't complete it. Thats how you do it. Force fire, this option is listed in the manual, only they never cover it during the tutorial.
