Mission 18 - Amphibous Assault

Mission 18 - Amphibous Assault

Lt. Colin Munro
Callsign: Neptune 3
Aircraft: Harrier GR9
Weapon loadout: HSM, AGM, Flares

Start by clearing out enemy patrol ships and ground batteries. Sweep them clean using your AGM and strafe them whenever you can to take them out faster. After taking out all ground targets, enemy fighters will appear from the mountain range. Engage them and eliminate them to complete this phase.

For the second phase, you need to destroy the mines to clear a path for your battlegroup. You can take them out easily using short cannon bursts or just use an AGM in the middle of the minegroups to destroy several of them at once. However, you can only see them when you're flying at around 150 to 350m.

After clearing the mines, you'll have to deal with the heavy gun batteries on the mountainside. You may want to get rid of their AA defenses first then release your ordnance while strafing them to maximize your attack runs. The batteries themselves are sturdy as hell so expect that it will take 2-3 AGMs to take one down. Use quick cannon bursts as you approach the targets to deal more damage.

Finally, approach the unidentified target and recon the enemy base. More enemy targets will appear. This is the final phase of this mission. Take out the ground targets first, as well as the patrol ship and frigate that will appear nearby. After getting rid of the annoyances on the ground, engage the last remaining fighters to complete the mission.
