Kansas City- the hardest mission?

TigerHawkB

First time out of the vault
I am always having problems on this mission.
First of all, my game is patched at 1.27 and I play only during daylight.
This is imo the the hardest mission .I have PipBoy armed with SAW and Rocket Launcher, have Stitch with a CAWS loaded with normal shells, have my main char with the Enfield(I think) and Neostead loaded with Flechette, got Rebecca and Farsight with Sniper rifles to provide cover fire and also Farsight has another Neostead for close range and at last I have Mother serving as melee char and a grenadier.
I have sent Mother on the North gate, my main char i kept it on the West gate along with Farsight up on the wall for sniper support and the others i sent on the South gate, Rebecca up on the wall.
I cannot use the Browning yet as I don't have PA and not any perks that raises my STR and also i don't use drugs.PipBoy has a STR of 8 with the Mutate perk, removing Bloody Mess and adding Gifted, so I gave him the RL, the only weapon I have that can actually do serious damage against SM.
SAW's don't do too much damage, and I have to rely on Snipers, CAWS and RL.
Anyway, I always seem to have at least 8 ghouls dead.Somehow goddamn mutants even manage to kill ghouls inside even though they didn't penetrate the defenses so they are stil outside.WTF?
 
SAW must be given to someone who can use it. In most cases you need only SAW and sniper rifles for this mission, any weapons with range<40 is useless (well, if you really want to save ghouls.

Know why? Muties have Avenger and some SAW and other heavy weapons, and they must be picked first. You have to use turn-based mode in order to deal with muties without being outnumbered...
 
All my people have STR >6 and can use SAWs, well, except Mother ofc.
But i noticed SAWs don't do too much damage to armored mutants, mostly in the range of 20-30 dmg per burst.Even CAWS do more damage than SAWs with the right shells.And ofc I know muties have Avenger and other heavy weapons.
Maybe cos I always play CTB i get f...d. Guess I have to try ITB then.

Well, i managed to finish the mission with exactly 7 ghouls killed.
