Weaponry [AAM] Air-to-Air [AAM1] Name: Quick-Maneuver Air-to-Air Missile (QAAM) Availability: EA-6B Prowler (4) F-5E Tiger II (4) F-15C Eagle (14) F-35C JSF (10) F-117A Nighthawk (8) MiG-21bis Fishbed (6) MiG-31 Foxhound (10) X-02 Wyvern (14) X-29A (10) YF-23 Black Widow II (12) Info: Ustio's QAAM technology far surpasses that of Osea's. Capable of following and keeping up with an aircraft maneuvering across the sky, if it somehow misses the aircraft it will turn around and try again. The missile keeps tracking until it runs out of fuel then disengages. This missile will rarely miss. Rating: 9/10 ============================================================================== [AAM2] Name: Semi-Active Air-to-Air Missile Availability: F-4E Phantom II (6) F-15E Strike Eagle (10) F-16XL (10) F/A-18C Hornet (8) F-20A Tigershark (10) J-35J Draken (8) MiG-29A Fulcrum (12) Su-47 Berkut (14) Info: Useful in medium range engagements. This missile requires tracking from the aircraft that fired it. A large targeting reticule will appear on the HUD. You must keep the target within the circle in order for the missile to track the target. Because of this, the missile is very ineffective at close ranges however the missile is quite maneuverable. Rating: 7/10 ============================================================================== [AAM3] Name: Advanced Long-Range Air-to-Air Missile (XLAA) Availability: ADF-01 Falken (18) F-14D Super Tomcat (14) F-15S/MTD (14) JAS-39C Gripen (8) MiG-31 Foxhound (12) Su-37 Terminator (16) Typhoon / EF-2000 Eurofighter (14) X-02 Wyvern (14) Info: Longest range of any Air-to-Air missile, simultaneous targeting of up to four aircraft, and excellent maneuvering and tracking, sounds like a great combination to me. My favorite Air-to-Air missile, along with the XMAA, the medium range version of the missile. Don't fire too close to your intended targets or your missiles won't have time to drop away from your aircraft and ignite the motors. Rating: 10/10 ============================================================================== [AAM4] Name: Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (XMAA) Availability: EA-18G Growler (8) F-2A (10) F-15C Eagle (16) F-16C Fighting Falcon (12) F-22A Raptor (12) Rafale M (16) Su-27 Flanker (16) Su-32 Strike Flanker (12) Info: Medium range Air-to-Air missile, simultaneous targeting of up to four aircraft, and excellent maneuvering and tracking, sounds like a great combination to me. My favorite Air-to-Air missile, along with the XLAA, the long range version of the missile. Don't fire too close to your intended targets or your missiles won't have time to drop away from your aircraft and ignite the motors. Rating: 10/10 ============================================================================== [AG] Air-to-Ground [AGB1] Name: Bomblet Dispenser (BDSP) Availability: F-16XL (8) Su-47 Berkut (12) Tornado GR.4 (12) YF-23A Black Widow II (10) Info: This weapon dispenses numerous bomblets that covers a strip of land in the direction you're flying. Useful if there are a lot of targets lined up on the ground for you to take out. Don't fly too low when dispensing bomblets or they won't cover a large enough area and don't fly too high or they will cover an area too big and be harmless. Rating: 4/10 ============================================================================== [AGB2] Name: Fuel-Air Explosive Bomb (FAEB) Availability: A-10A Thunderbolt II (10) ADF-01 Falken (8) F-15S/MTD (8) Su-37 Terminator (8) X-29A (4) Info: A highly explosive bomb that levels just about everything in a large radius around the impact point. Have fun! Rating: 9/10 ============================================================================== [AGB3] Name: Guided Penetrating Bomb (GPB) Availability: F-14D Super Tomcat (10) F-15E Strike Eagle (14) F-20A Tigershark (8) F-22A Raptor (12) F-117A Nighthawk (16) Mirage 2000D (10) Info: Need to ensure that your bomb will hit what you want it to hit and destroy it? This is what you need. Very strong, but the blast radius is smaller than the unguided bombs, but at least you know you will hit your target, unless there is a building or a hill in the bombs path. Rating: 8/10 ============================================================================== [AGM1] Name: Long-Range Air-to-Ground Missile (LAGM) Availability: EA-6B Prowler (8) EA-18G Growler (10) F-16C Fighting Falcon (8) F-117A Nighthawk (12) Su-32 Strike Flanker (14) X-29A (10) Info: This long range missile is great to take out a target while staying out of range from SAM sites and AA Guns or taking out the SAMs and AAs to get to your target without having to worry about being shot down. Rating: 7/10 ============================================================================== [AGB4] Name: Napalm Bomb (NPB) Availability: F-4E Phantom II (10) F-5E Tiger II (8) F-14D Super Tomcat (14) Su-37 Terminator (10) YF-23A Black Widow II (12) Info: Large fireball that spreads in a straight line. Capable of destroying a variety of targets but is weak against larger targets. Rating: 6/10 ============================================================================== [AG1] Name: Rocket Launcher (RCL) Availability: A-10A Thunderbolt II (16) F-1 (10) J-35J Draken (8) JAS-39C Gripen (12) MiG-21bis Fishbed (8) MiG-29A Fulcrum (10) Info: Each salvo contains multiple rockets that disperse in roughly a circular pattern at where you aim. These rockets are fairly strong and can take out a group of tanks or buildings. Rating: 7/10 ============================================================================== [AGB5] Name: Self-Forging Fragment Submunitions (SFFS) Availability: F-2A (14) F-15E Strike Eagle (14) Su-27 Flanker (12) Su-47 Berkut (16) Typhoon / EF-2000 Eurofighter (12) Info: A bomb that fragments into many pieces before impacting the ground or a target in order to cover a wide area, similar to the BDSP and SOD, though a little more useful. Rating:7/10 ============================================================================== [AGB6] Name: Stand-Off Dispenser (SOD) Availability: F-15S/MTD (16) F/A-18C Hornet (12) F-22A Raptor (12) F-35C JSF (16) JAS-39C Gripen (14) Rafale M (14) Typhoon / EF-2000 Eurofighter (16) Info: Basically a guided version of the BDSP. Rating: 4/10 ============================================================================== [AGB7] Name: Unguided Bomb (UGB) Availability: F-1 (12) F-5E Tiger II (8) J-35J Draken (8) MiG-21bis Fishbed (10) Mirage 2000D (14) Info: Fair sized blast radius, perfect for a cluster of targets. Easily level and entire enemy installation with a full load of bombs. Rating: 9/10 ============================================================================== [AGB8] Name: Unguided Bomb-Large (UGBL) Availability: F-4E Phantom II (8) F-15C Eagle (10) F-16C Fighting Falcon (14) MiG-31 Foxhound (12) Su-27 Flanker (8) Info: Large blast radius, you would have to try to miss the target to not destroy it with this huge bomb. Rating: 10/10 ============================================================================== [AGM2] Name: Advanced Air-to-Ground Missile (XAGM) Availability: A-10A Thunderbolt II (10) F-16XL (14) F-20A Tigershark (12) MiG-29A Fulcrum (12) Mirage 2000D (14) Su-32 Strike Flanker (16) X-02 Wyvern (16) Info: High damage and simultaneous targeting of up to four targets. They will always hit their target unless something is directly above them. These missiles fly to the target, maintaining a certain altitude until directly above the target upon which the missile noses over and slams into the target. Rating: 10/10 ============================================================================== [ASM] Air-to-Ship [ASM1] Name: Long-Range Air-to-Surface Missile (LASM) Availability: F-1 (10) F-2A (12) F/A-8C Hornet (10) F-35C JSF (14) Rafale M (14) Tornado GR.4 (12) Info: This missile packs some power. Despite the fact that it is anti-ship missile, it will do just as well with ground targets. Long range comes in handy staying away from pesky SAM Sites and AA Guns. Rating: 8/10 ============================================================================== [E1] Electronics [ECM1] Name: Electronic Countermeasure Pod (ECMP) Availability: ADFX-01 Morgan (8) EA-6B Prowler (5) EA-18G Growler (6) Tornado GR.4 (4) Info: These can be useful or not useful to you. If you can survive with just missiles and no special weapons to shoot down or destroy targets, and you are having a hard time avoiding missiles, then go ahead and grab this. If you can avoid missiles for the most part, then don't bother using this. This works by making it impossible for anyone to lock onto you temporarily Rating: 5/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [WKTH] VI. Walkthrough [MIS1] Mission 1: Glacial Skies / Operation Crossbow Date: 2-APR-95 Time: 13:00 Area: Valais Air Base Location: 020�04'08"N, 239�31'24"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 6, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 11, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 17 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-5E (QAAM) or J35J (SAAM) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA ============================================================================== Easy mission to start the campaign. Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets only (AIR-DSP) and allow him to use Special Weapons (SPW). Proceed full throttle into the hostile formations and shoot down aircraft as you see fit, and according to the type of ace you want to be. That's all there is to this mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS2] Mission 2: Annex / Operation Roselein Date: 15-APR-95 Time: 10:20 Area: Arlon Location: 014�47'46"N, 234�27'58"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 7, GROUND: 13, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 18, YELLOW: 20 TOTAL: 58 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-1 (RCL) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: QAAM ============================================================================== Starting on the runway, light the burners and takeoff. After reaching the proper altitude, you will complete the takeoff phase and begin your mission. Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets only. Fly to the first bridge and wipeout targets of your choice with missiles. When you reach the second bridge, switch to your rocket launchers, get in close to the group of tanks on your side of the bridge and pound them with 1 salvo with your rockets. You should destroy them all. Destroy anything else you want to destroy in the area. Also allow Pixy to use Special Weapons and if you want to, help him eliminate the air threats. When you reach the third bridge, unload your rockets at the two groups of tanks on either end of the bridge. Destroy any other targets of your choice with missiles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS3] Mission 3: The Round Table / Operation Choker One Date: 20-APR-95 Time: 11:20 Area: B7R Location: 022�53'37"N, 234�19'32"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 8, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: -, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 8 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-5E (QAAM) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: QAAM ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets. Fly at max speed to the nearest enemy formation. Attack all aircraft until a flight of Aces show up. After the cutscene, you can choose to shoot down the remaining secondary aircraft, or go after the aces. Allow Pixy to use his special weapons now as well. Never fly straight for any period of time longer than a second. The aces are good pilots and will keep you on your toes with missiles. After you shoot down half of the aces, downing the other two become easier with less aircraft shooting at you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS4] Mission 4: Juggernaut / Offensive Campaign No. 4101 - Gelnikos Date: 24-APR-95 Time: 11:40 Area: Futuro Canal Location: 014�03'23"N, 231�28'19"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: 19, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 11, YELLOW: 24 TOTAL: 54 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-1 (UGB) or MiG-21 (UGB) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA or QAAM Notes: Obviously, since you don't own a MiG-21 yet, you need to buy it as well as the bombs if you plan to use the aircraft and the recommended payload. You should have plenty of cash available to do this. ============================================================================== ***I highly recommend that you choose the mission Costner, as the aircraft you unlock upon completing that mission will make the next couple of missions easier*** As usual, order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets and allow the use of his special weapons. With the air threat being taken care of, you can concentrate on eliminating the ground targets. Use up your bombs first then destroy anything else on the ground with guns and missiles. Pick one of the coastlines and destroy all the targets you wish to, then fly over to the other side and repeat. Afterwards, help Pixy eliminate the remaining air threats. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS4] Mission 4: Juggernaut / Offensive Campaign No. 4101 - Round Hammer Date: 24-APR-95 Time: 12:00 Area: Futuro Canal Location: 014�08'57"N, 231�28'19"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 2, GROUND: 15, NAVAL: 8, TARGET: 20, YELLOW: 15 TOTAL: 60 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-1 (UGB) or MiG-21 (UGB) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA or QAAM Notes: Obviously, since you don't own a MiG-21 yet, you need to buy it as well as the bombs if you plan to use the aircraft and the recommended payload. You should have plenty of cash available to do this. ============================================================================== ***I highly recommend that you choose Costner, as the aircraft you unlock upon completing that mission will make the next couple of missions easier*** As usual, order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets and allow the use of his special weapons. With the air threat being taken care of, you can concentrate on eliminating the ground targets. Fly to the Western set of targets on the ground and make one pass, heading North, destroying anything that catches your eye. Head toward the Two Destroyers and one Frigate and destroy them, then head back South and clean out the area of targets. Fly across the canal and destroy the targets on that side. Afterwards, fly to the fleet of ships at the Northern end of the canal and sink them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS4] Mission 4: Juggernaut / Offensive Campaign No. 4101 - Costner Date: 24-APR-95 Time: 12:20 Area: Futuro Canal Location: 014�03'30"N, 231�28'19"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 6, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: -, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 6 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-5E (QAAM), MiG-21 (QAAM) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA or QAAM Notes: Obviously, since you don't own a MiG-21 yet, you need to buy it as well as the missiles if you plan to use the aircraft and the recommended payload. You should have plenty of cash available to do this. ============================================================================== Rather easy mission. Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets and allow special weapons. Not much to be said here, just find the nearest formation of enemy aircraft and shoot them down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS5] Mission 5: Flicker of Hope / Operation Varsity Date: 12-MAY-95 Time: 05:50 Area: Solis Ortus Location: 016�52'07"N, 237�16'09"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: 12, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 12, YELLOW: 7 TOTAL: 31 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-16C (XMAA) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: QAAM Notes: Sell the MiG-21 and buy whichever plane you unlocked after mission 4, which differs depending which mission you took. ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse, attack air targets, and allow special weapons. If you want to destroy secondary targets, start with the west most target and work your way to Drop Zone 1 (the one with AA Gun targets closest to you). If not, then just proceed straight into Drop Zone 1 and start there. Wipe out opposition at the other two drop zones, ignoring the aircraft that show up until you eliminate targets on the ground. The remaining targets will be aircraft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS6] Mission 6: Diapason / Operation Constantine Date: 13-MAY-95 Time: 16:30 Area: Directus Location: 017�28'01"N, 238�25'51"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 6, GROUND: 4, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 18, YELLOW: 19 TOTAL: 47 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-16C (XMAA) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: QAAM Notes: Same aircraft and payload as you had in the last mission. ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets. Concentrate on destroying ground targets in the first three sectors, destroying any aircraft left in a sector before moving on to the next one. After you destroy all primary targets in the third sector, a hostile aircraft will attack allied forces on a hill north of the third sector. Switch to your special weapon and fire once within range. After shooting down the aircraft, the allied forces on the ground will thank you, then you can move on to the last two sectors. Feel free to use a few of your special missiles if you choose to shoot down some enemy aircraft. Upon destroying all primary targets, two aces will fly into the battle zone. Allow Pixy to use special weapons at this point. Fly straight towards the aces, but do not fire any missiles unless you have a really good angle. Turn around and pursue the aces and shoot them down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS7] Mission 7: Bastion / Operation Hell Hound Date: 17-MAY-95 Time: 16:20 Area: Mt. Ivrea Location: 017�29'13"N, 231�57'02"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 17, GROUND: 88, NAVAL: -, TARGET: -, YELLOW: 17 TOTAL: 122 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: A-10A (XAGM) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA or QAAM Notes: Purchase the A-10A. If for some reason you don't have enough cash, sell an aircraft. ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets only, like usual. Destroy every target on your way up to the control tower in the center of the battle zone. The approach tunnels can only be destroyed when you fire a missile so that it goes into the tunnel itself, hitting the concrete will not work. When you reach the center, destroy the control tower first. It will take several missile and gun passes to destroy it. Try to destroy as many targets with the gun as you can to conserve missiles, so that you don't have to rearm. Once all targets are destroyed, more targets show up in the remaining three corners of the battle zone. Ignore the Southwest corner and fly to the Northwest, destroying every target along the way. Allow Pixy to use special weapons. Destroy the Harrier base in the Northwest then fly East, again, destroying everything in sight. You should reach the 16,000 point limit before making it to the Northeast corner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS8] Mission 8: Merlon / Operation Dynamo - Alpha Team Date: 19-MAY-95 Time: 15:30 Area: Schayne Plains Location: 028�19'02"N, 229�02'17"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: 17, NAVAL: 3, TARGET: 11, YELLOW: 11 TOTAL: 42 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: EA-6B (LAGM), F-16C (UGBL), MIR-2000D (UGB) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA Notes: Sell aircraft as needed to buy what you need. If you plan on sticking with the F-16C, just buy bombs for it. ============================================================================== ***While there is no real benefit to which mission you take, and hence the aircraft you are rewarded with afterwards (unless you're not quite a good pilot), the walkthrough will assume you chose Theta Team with the X-29A as the unlocked aircraft.*** Yep, you guessed it, order Pixy to Disperse, attack air targets, and allow special weapons (As if there are any aircraft in this mission, but Pixy can't destroy ground targets easily). Destroy the gunboats if you want, then head to the primary targets. Level the area with bombs, then clean up with guns and missiles. Piece of cake. Don't bother flying towards the transports, as a twist to the mission is about to happen. After the cutscene do a 180 and fly straight South towards the retreat line. count to 9 seconds then make a sharp turn to either your left or right. Go around the target circle highlighted on your radar and fly South at full speed. Repeat the maneuver until you make it to the retreat line, as the target for the laser will always be where your nose is pointed 10 seconds after the previous laser blast ends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS8] Mission 8: Merlon / Operation Dynamo - Beta Team Date: 19-MAY-95 Time: 15:30 Area: Schayne Plains Location: 020�16'45"N, 229�02'03"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 2, GROUND: 14, NAVAL: 4, TARGET: 13, YELLOW: 9 TOTAL: 42 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: EA-6B (LAGM), F-16C (UGBL), MIR-2000D (UGB) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA Notes: Sell aircraft as needed to buy what you need. If you plan on sticking with the F-16C, just buy bombs for it. ============================================================================== ***While there is no real benefit to which mission you take, and hence the aircraft you are rewarded with afterwards (unless you're not quite a good pilot), the walkthrough will assume you chose Theta Team with the X-29A as the unlocked aircraft.*** Yep, you guessed it, order Pixy to Disperse, attack air targets, and allow special weapons. Destroy all the gunboats, AA Guns, and SAM sites at the lake, (Use bombs freely, save 2 for the airbase) then help Pixy eliminate the air threats. Afterwards fly the base and use up the rest of your bombs, then destroy what is left with missiles and guns. Don't bother flying towards the transports, as a twist to the mission is about to happen. After the cutscene do a 180 and fly straight South towards the retreat line. count to 9 seconds then make a sharp turn to either your left or right. Go around the target circle highlighted on your radar and fly South at full speed. Repeat the maneuver until you make it to the retreat line, as the target for the laser will always be where your nose is pointed 10 seconds after the previous laser blast ends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS8] Mission 8: Merlon / Operation Dynamo - Theta Team Date: 19-MAY-95 Time: 15:50 Area: Schayne Plains Location: 020�14'10"N, 229�02'31"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 10, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 10 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-16C (XMAA) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: (XMAA) ============================================================================== ***While there is no real benefit to which mission you take, and hence the aircraft you are rewarded with afterwards (unless you're not quite a good pilot), the walkthrough will assume you chose Theta Team with the X-29A as the unlocked aircraft.*** Yep, you guessed it, order Pixy to Disperse, attack air targets, and allow special weapons. Fly towards the nearest enemy formation and engage. If you're trigger happy with the special weapons, try to save at least two for a few minutes into the mission. As you destroy enemy aircraft, keep your eye on the radar. When you see circled primary targets and a circled friendly aircraft approaching the combat zone from the West, hit the burners and fly towards them. Be sure to slow down so you can lock onto two of the targets with your XMAAs before you leave the combat zone. Afterwards continue destroying targets until no more show up. Don't bother flying towards the transports, as a twist to the mission is about to happen. After the cutscene do a 180 and fly straight South towards the retreat line. count to 9 seconds then make a sharp turn to either your left or right. Go around the target circle highlighted on your radar and fly South at full speed. Repeat the maneuver until you make it to the retreat line, as the target for the laser will always be where your nose is pointed 10 seconds after the previous laser blast ends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS9] Mission 9: Sword of Annihilation / Operation Judgement Date: 23-MAY-95 Time: 14:00 Area: Tauberg Location: 028�30'16"N, 231�16'56"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 1, GROUND: 10, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 9, YELLOW: 12 TOTAL: 32 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-16C (UGBL) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets (Incase you are wondering why I dedicate Pixy to Air Targets only every mission, it is because I noticed he has a hard time destroying ground targets). Do anything but fly in the current direction you are heading in, unless you feel like getting grilled by a laser. Quickly decide to either start with the Western Jammer or the Eastern Jammer and fly towards it at full speed. Either gun or drop a bomb on each jammer and destroy anything left around the jammers with missiles while avoiding the laser. Fly towards the Southern set of Laser Artillery and Power Station after taking care of the jammers and surrounding targets. Go in a circle and destroy each Railway Artillery with missiles and guns, then on your second time around, drop one bomb on every power station. After those have been destroyed, unload your missiles and guns at the top of the laser tower. Once you destroy that target, your next target becomes the shaft of the tower. If you have any bombs left, use them. If the tower is still standing, finish it off with missiles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS10] Mission 10: Mayhem / Operation Battle-Axe Date: 28-MAY-95 Time: 12:00 Area: B7R Location: 022�53'37"N, 234�19'32"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 20, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: -, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 20 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-15C (QAAM) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: QAAM Notes: Sell all your aircraft that you can, then buy the F-15C that you should have gotten after the last mission. Buy QAAMs for it as well. ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets, but don't let him use his special weapons yet. Destroy as many aircraft as you can until the aces show up. Once the aces show up, allow Pixy to use his special weapons and start using your QAAMs. These guys work together really well so be careful. Not much to say here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS11] Mission 11: The Inferno / Operation Cannibal Date: 1-JUN-95 Time: 23:10 Area: Hoffnung Location: 025�38'10"N, 237�28'50"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: 6, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 14, YELLOW: 21 TOTAL: 41 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-15C (XMAA) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: XMAA Notes: No I didn't make a mistake choosing a fighter with air-to-air specials. You'll see why as the mission goes on. ============================================================================== Order Pixy to Disperse, attack air targets, and allow special weapons. Destroy all ground targets you see fit. When all the primary targets are destroyed, enemy aircraft join the fight. Use your XMAAs if you want to, but try to save a few until after the mission update. It's your typical dogfight, just don't get shot down. Take out the jammer as quick as you can, it's an EA-18G, so you can see what's around you. Pay close attention to what Pixy says during the cutscene after the mission...hopefully you catch on in the next mission before it's too late. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS12] Mission 12: The Stage of Apocalypse / Operation Ravage Date: 6-JUN-95 Time: 14:50 Area: Waldreich Location: 025�11'04"N, 233�53'02"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: -, YELLOW: - TOTAL: - Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: F-15C (XMAA), SU-37 (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for Pixy: UGBL Notes: I'm not kidding, load Pixy with bombs, you will see why later. If you want to use the SU-37 and don't have the cash, sell your F-15C. ============================================================================== You'll see Steir Castle pass below as the mission begins. Fly at full speed in the direction indicated on your radar. Order Pixy to Disperse and attack air targets. *If you armed Pixy with XMAAs or QAAMs, allow him to use them right now.* Try to shoot down all of the targets as quick as you can. Five minutes into the mission, or when you shoot down all the bombers, a bright light blinds you. The sky turns into an eerie color, then seconds later, the massive sound of a nuclear detonation along with haywire of your aircraft's electronics. The missile alert message is false, so don't worry. Fly to the North as flights in the area and AWACS attempt to determine the damage. You have 3 options here (You'll notice that if Pixy is behind you, he'll try to stay behind you and follow your every move). Fly really slow, keeping Pixy in front of you. If you cannot do that, then light the burners and get as far away from Pixy as you can, this should also keep you safe. If you happen to be within range of Pixy's missiles, he will attempt to shoot you down (This is why I told you to arm Pixy with bombs and not XMAAs or QAAMs...and I hope you listened. If you armed him with XMAAs, you will most likely be within range no matter what you do, so dodge the missiles. If you're within range of QAAMs...throw your plane as wildly as you can in the sky. Hopefully you let Pixy use special weapons earlier in the mission if you armed him with those missiles, but if he didn't run out, be prepared. Keep away from Pixy as you fly towards the enemy aircraft. Shoot them down to end the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS13] Mission 13: Lying in Deceit / Operation Stone Age Date: 13-JUN-95 Time: 16:00 Area: Mt. Schirm Location: 030�27'41"N, 228�34'18"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 31, GROUND: 63, NAVAL: 7, TARGET: -, YELLOW: 19 TOTAL: 120 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (XLAA or FAEB) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== The only goal in this mission is to get 20,000 points. Order PJ to do whatever you want him to do and methodically work your way toward the air base in the North. Aircraft are worth more points than ground targets so be sure to shoot down aircraft on your way from one location to another, even if they are slightly out of your way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS14] Mission 14: The Final Overture / Operation Broom - Mars Strike Team Date: 20-JUN-95 Time: 16:00 Area: Anfang Location: 034�36'16"N, 236�51'01"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 1, GROUND: 15, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 13, YELLOW: 15 TOTAL: 44 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (FAEB) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== Order PJ to Disperse and attack air targets only and use special weapons. Wipe out ground targets with guns, missiles, and FAEBs, saving three FAEBs for the three cruisers out in the ocean. Work your way from South to North, making one pass at targets. Once you reach the Northern set of targets, turn around and destroy the remaining targets. Afterwards, head out to sea and destroy the ships. Peace of cake, just don't get shot down by the SAMs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS14] Mission 14: The Final Overture / Operation Broom - Mercury Strike Team Date: 20-JUN-95 Time: 16:00 Area: Anfang Location: 034�38'59"N, 236�53'41"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 6, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 17, YELLOW: 10 TOTAL: 33 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== Order PJ to Disperse and attack air targets only and use special weapons. Fly to the first air base and destroy any aircraft on the ground first, then destroy base defense and other aircraft in the air. Once the first base is destroyed, fly to the second base and do the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS14] Mission 14: The Final Overture / Operation Broom - Jupiter Strike Team Date: 20-JUN-95 Time: 16:20 Area: Anfang Location: 034�38'06"N, 236�52'24"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 1, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 5, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 6 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== Order PJ to Disperse and attack air targets only and use special weapons. Eliminate all the jammers first to make your life easier. Once they are clear shoot down all the enemy aircraft. At some point in the mission, aircraft will take off from the tunnels, destroy them while they're still on the ground. That's all there is to this mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS15] Mission 15: The Talon of Ruin / Operation Valkyrie Date: 25-DEC-95 Time: 15:10 Area: Unknown Location: Unknown Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 3, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 3 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== Follow the flight path shown on your radar. Once you get close enough to the XB-0, aces show up. Shoot down the aces, saving your XLAAs if possible. Once that is accomplished fire four XLAAs at the XB-0. After they impact destroy the rest of the targets with missiles and guns. Once new targets show up, fire two sets of XLAAs, waiting for the first set to impact before firing off your second set. If targets still remain, use any XLAAs you have left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS16] Mission 16: The Demon of the Round Table / Operation Thunderbolt Date: 31-DEC-95 Time: 11:00 Area: B7R Location: 022�53'37"N, 234�19'32"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 1, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 1 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== You and PJ versus aces. Just follow the flight path indicated on your radar and the aces will show up eventually. Have at them! Not much to this mission to talk about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS17] Mission 17: The Valley of Kings / Operation *** Date: 31-DEC-95 Time: 15:00 Area: Avalon Dam Location: 029�55'00"N, 234�30'00"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: 8, GROUND: 8, NAVAL: -, TARGET: -, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 16 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for PJ: XMAA ============================================================================== Allow PJ to do whatever you want him to do. Stay in the ravine and fly towards the dam, destroying anything you feel like destroying, but keep moving at a somewhat rapid pace. When you reach the dam, fly over it and fly to the other side, destroying everything on the surface while doing so. Once you accomplish that, dive into the opening at the end of the tunnel and head toward the first set of targets. Fly as slow as you can, destroying as much as you can. Once you fly over the first set of targets, light the burners and fly to the next one, even if you still have targets left. Repeat at the second and third set, but after the third set, fly out of the tunnel, turn around, and head back in and wipe out whatever you left behind. When you reach the North end of the tunnel, fly out then fly back in and destroy the three targets left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [MIS18] Mission 18: Zero / Operation Point Blank Date: 31-DEC-95 Time: 15:10 Area: Avalon Dam Location: 029�55'00"N, 234�30'00"E Predicted Enemies: AIR: -, GROUND: -, NAVAL: -, TARGET: 1, YELLOW: - TOTAL: 1 Recommended Aircraft & Loadout: Su-37 Terminator (XLAA) Recommended Loadout for PJ: N/A ============================================================================== This is an interesting and fairly easy mission if you can fly good. This takes place in three phases. During the first phase, stay on his tail as best you can and shoot him down. It will take six missiles to do it. You really shouldn't have a problem avoiding his laser during the engagement. In the second phase, again, just stay on his tail and shoot him down with six missiles. The tricky part is in the third phase. The only way to damage him is to hit in the front of his aircraft, this means head-on. You initial start out heading towards each other. As soon as he's in range, fire away. Dodge his missiles but keep flying away from him until you get a good distance on him. Once you do, turn around and repeat. It will take six missiles again to down him for good.
