DMZ players will have no doubt come across many a mission that involved helicopters in some way but for the Shadow Company tier two Wings Clipped mission, you will need to put in a lot of effort. This mission can be quite difficult in my opinion if you don’t know of the best strategies to use when completing the task, I will take you through each of those strategies.

Easiest way to complete Wings Clipped mission in DMZ
To complete the Wings Clipped mission, you need to destroy three reinforcement helicopters in Ashika Island specifically. I’d make sure that you definitely are trying to complete this mission on Ashika Island because if you aren’t then that would cause your progress not to go up in any way.
If you’re struggling to find reinforcement helicopters then there are excellent ways to spawn them. I recommend that you spend time breaching a lot of Strongholds as this will make more reinforcement helicopters spawn. Along with that, starting to crack safes (with the drill) can be another way to make reinforcement helicopters quickly spawn.
Use JOKR launchers and Bring a Squad into the DMZ
By far the best way to destroy reinforcement helicopters is to deploy into a match with a squad filled with players who have JOKR launchers, including yourself. You then can communicate with each other and split the team up, I’d make sure that every individual player makes their way to one Stronghold and breaches it. Once they have done so, they can run outside and use the JOKR to blow up the reinforcement helicopter. If three players do this same process, that’s an easy mission completion.
If you’re looking for a bit more of a challenge, you can go old school and use another rocket launcher to take down these helicopters. I suggest that you bring a PILA as an alternative as an ideal option over some of the other options in the weapon category since it has built-in lock-on capabilities.
You can also load into the map with a heavy machine gun of your choice, loaded up with incendiary rounds so that you deal more damage to the helicopter as you unload into its heavily armored chassis. Additionally, I’d bring a munitions box for you and your friends because it will take more than one rocket and plenty of ammo to take down these reinforcement helicopters.
Capture a SAM site
Sure, players can load into a raid with a launcher, but I personally prefer to take over one of the many SAM sites on the map instead. These surface-to-air missile silos take away all the difficulty of aiming, locking on, and hitting these helicopters out of the sky, especially if you’re being shot at by other enemies around the area.
Instead, you just have to clear out the area of any NPC enemies and interact with the silo, which will activate an event where you must defend the silo against a few waves of enemy reinforcements. Once the silo is completely secured for your use, it will lock on and fire at any airborne targets, including the helicopters in question.
SAM sites can be identified on the map by a rocket symbol and are usually surrounded by a whole squad of AI enemies. If you load in with the right weapons, they shouldn’t be much of a problem.
It’s time to put these methods to the test for yourself and destroy some reinforcement helicopters in beautiful style, best of luck.
