Missions==============================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1-Blue Wing Knights: -Shoot down all target crafts 
  within the time limit.
  Pilots: Ken
  Objective: Shoot down all Type-86 Bombers
  Enemies: Sergei, Type-86, Tu-160, Su-20, Su-17M, Su-7BM
  My Way: Takeout all but the last (6th) Type86 bomber and then 
   attack the Tu-160's and other planes if you need the money. Then
   just shoot down the remaining bomber to end the mission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2-Operation code H4: -Destroy all ground targets 
  within the time limit.
  Pilots: Ken
  Objective: Destroy all Primary targets along pipeline
  Enemies: Giuseppe, Su-7BM, Su-20
  My Way: If you focus on the ground targets you should be able to 
   take them all out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3-The Gale: -Defend the airspace from the enemies aircraft.
  Pilots: Ken
  Objective: Intercept enemy aircraft until they withdraw
  Enemies: Leon, Albert, Su-7MB, Su-17M, Su-20
  My Way: Just shoot down all you can!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4-Force Scout: -Watch the altitude and survey the enemies 
  facilities among the cliffs.
  Pilots: Ken, Ruth
  Objective: Fly through the canyon between the rollers& destroy the 
   gate at the end. Don't fly above the security field above canyon.
  Enemies: No enemy aircraft
  My Way: Instead of flying underneath the roller I find it easier 
   to fly between it and the canyon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5-Roller Games: -Destroy all new ground battleships of the enemy.
  Pilots: Holst, Brian
  Objective: Take out the 3 command rollers before they cross the
   line.
  Enemies: Mi-35
  My Way: Checkout area map and use the red dots to figure which ones
   are the command rollers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
6-Operation Guardian: -Escort our ally's train 
  escape to the destination.
  Pilots: Jamie, Rick, Alex
  Objective: Wipe out all enemies along the train's path before 
  they're able to destroy it.
  Enemies:Yak-38
  My Way: I like to use a VTOL for this one because you might have to
   go back and forth a couple of times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
7-The Robbers: -Escort the escaping general's 
  plane asking for asylum.
  Pilots: All
  Objective: takeout all enemy airbattleships and protect the 
   defecting ship "Freedom".
  Enemies: J-8IIM
  My Way: Hang back and above the battleships to gain the fastest way
   to attack the targets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
8-Operation Racoon Hunt:- Destroy all antiaircraft weaponds 
  and facilities of the enemy.
  Pilots: All
  Objective: Takeout all the targets that are generating the tornados
  Enemies: J-7mg, Yak-38, J-8IIM
  My Way:(common knowledge) Fly above the clouds and then dive into 
   the tornadoes from above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
9-Iceberg: -Find decoy enemy carrier vessel and destroy 
  within time limit.
  Pilots: Brian, Holst
  Objective: Takeout the carriers hidden as icebergs
  Enemies: Sergei, Su-39, Su-24m
  My Way: I like using rockets for this mission
---------------------------------------------------------------------
10-Doll Master:- Defend the airspace from the enemies aircraft.
  Pilots: 1st and 3rd element     
  Objectives: General Dogfight
  Enemies: Sergei, Albert, Ellen
  My Way: Search and destroy Sergei in first round and then Ellen and
  Albert in the second.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
11-Operation Jackpot: -Regain operation of the orbital elevator.
  Pilots: All
  Objectives: First for each generator take out one of it's 
  side targets, slowing down to take out the center target as it 
  rises from the ground. Finally shoot down Pierre to end the 
  mission.
  Enemies: Pierre, Mig-23ML
  My Way: Again this is another mission to use the rockets. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
12-Stampede Campaign\BigBird: -Escort our ally's
  Pilots: 1st element
  Objectives: Protect the Archelon from enemy fighters and 
  antiaircraft guns
  Enemies: Leon, Su-27smk, Su-35, Su-34
  My Way: Intercept the first wave and then takeout the AAA circle
  ahead. Return and intercept the next wave
---------------------------------------------------------------------
13-Stampede Campaign\AFW: -Escort our all's AFW to the destination
  Pilots: 1st element
  Objectives: Provide aircover for the Mech until it hits
  Enemies: Giuseppe, Tu-160, Su-34, Su-27SMK, Type-A8 Doggie
  My Way: Wait until the Mech has reached it's destination before
  hitting the extra targets. Then shoot Giuseppe to end the mission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------  
14-Stampede Campaign\Tiger's Cave: -Destroy the
   main fort of the enemy
  Pilots: All
  Objectives: Destroy main targets in each underground complex and
  takeout the Albert and Sergei
  Enemies: Albert, Sergei, Yak-141, SU-27SMK, 
  My Way: If you are conserving hp then don't mess with the 
  helicopters and front SAM's
---------------------------------------------------------------------
15-Stampede Campaign\HyperSpeed Rick: -Survey the main fort 
   of the enemy without attacking
   Pilots: Rick Campbell
   Objectives: Target the enemy hangers until Harry can do his thing.
   Enemies: Dosen't matter, your not supposed to engage, if you shoot
   more than 4 missiles then the mission will fail.
   My Way: I frankly hate this mission. What the point of having all
   the speed and thrust that this plane has when you have to hover on
   top of an a bunch of AAA guns and SAMS for 30 seconds? The only 
   two times I finished this game I had something like 10 hp left.
   The mission would be easier if we were given an ordinary plane
   and allowed to shoot down the enemy and then did the recon.
   GH:
   In your guide you said that mission 15 (Hyperspeed Rick) was 
   difficult for you.  Here's a tip on how to do it. 
   First off, when you look at the targets, they are in a horseshoe 
   shaped hill with AA guns out front.  The easiest way for me was to 
   fly around, luring the intercepters away from the targets.  Once 
   it was clear of pests, approach from the SIDE of the horseshoe. 
   The  AA guns can't hit you, but if you slow to about 170 (VERY 
   near the stall speed) you will be able to pull up just before you 
   hit the hill and get the recon.  It takes practice, but it's 
   probably easier than going in from the front. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------
16-Navarone Campaign: -Watch the altitude and destroy the 
   antiaircraft facility among the cliffs
   Pilots: All
   Objective: Fly through canyon and destroy the targets at the end.
   Enemies: Albert and Ellen
   My Way: Speed is about the best way through this for me however
   you might need to go through a couple times to get used to the 
   layout. Some have suggested using Jamie but every time I did my 
   plane was shot out by Albert or Ellen from behind because I was
   going to slow. Finally at the end make sure to take out the central
   fan thingy before it destroys you. After that knock down the 2 aces
   before hitting the other targets if you want them.
   Weird Tip: For some reason I found that I flew better if my plane 
   was upside down in a number of places, especially the later 
   canyon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
17-Metro: -Wipeout all the enemies infiltrated the subway 
   Pilots: Jamie or Alex
   Objective: Clear the tunnel system of all enemy gun trains and
   aircraft. 
   Enemies: Yak-141
   My Way: Using a VTOL is helpful considering the tight area you 
   will be flying in. I use speed to avoid being pelted by the 
   aircraft hovering in the circle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
18-Navarone Campaign\Turning Point: -Destroy all 
   reinforcement weapond units
   Pilots: All
   Objectives: Fly down the 2 gun barrels and takeout the central 
   target, flying out of the doors opening on either side.
   Enemies: Su-35, giant bullets
   My Way: First peel away to the 2nd gun , letting the others take 
   care of it (wow, you mean someone actually helps?) Common 
   knowledge- first hit the two generators at the base of the gun, 
   making the gun only fire 1 shell instead of 2. While inside the 
   gun stay out of the trench that is flashing or you will be bug
   guts on the shell. Personally I like rockets because you can hit
   the targets long before a missile could lock on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
19-Operation Skyscraper\Upstream: -Stop the enemies escaping 
   from the orbital elevator
   Pilots: All
   Objectives: Shoot down the orbital elevator when it lifts up.
   Enemies: Ellen, Donald, Su-30mk, S-55
   My Way: Unless I'm trying to hit Ellen I hover around the base of 
   shaft and wait for the elevatorto rise. Then I come up from 
   underneath and blast out the targets. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
20-Meteor Structure: -Prevent the destroyed orbital 
   elevator from falling
   Pilots: 1st and 3rd element
   Objectives: Blow up falling chunks of station. 
   Enemies: Albert, Pierre
   My Way: A plane with multilock AGM's is really handy here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
21-Departure: -Let the shuttle escape successfully to 
   the universe after wiping out the enemies
   Pilots:3rd Element plus Alex and Rick
   Objectives: First Takeout the crabs that land on the Starlight.
   Second, land in the shuttle hanger bay.
   Enemies: Leon
   My Way: I believe you can destroy the crabs even before the ship
   starts to take off by hitting them on the ground. And after you 
   have hit the last one follow the direction of the arrow and meet 
   the ship instead of hovering around until it launches. This
   should give you some more time if you need it.
   DF: 
    it might be a good idea to use a plane that has bombs.There is a 
    less chance that you might get hit by the missiles or that the 
    crabs will even shoot their missles at you.But you can only do 
    this before they leave the ground.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
22-Decision: -Let the shuttle escape successfully to the universe 
   after wiping out the enemies (Jamie's version)
   Pilots: Jamie
   Objectives: Same as Departure
   Enemies: Leon
   My Way: This version is harder than the last because you only 
   have access to Jamie's F-86. It is harder to dodge the missiles
   and the Hp is a lot less. Try to conserve hp and something will
   happen before destroying the last crab.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
23-Operation Crimson Emperor\Skirmish: -Protect our ally's flagship 
   from the aircrafts in formation
   Pilots: All + Ellen once you get her. (From now forward it will 
   be assumed that you got Ellen) 
   Objectives: Protect the ships and swat down the angel type 
   craft. 
   Enemies: Type-F-3, Type-R-3
   My Way: This is the first space mission on this list. It can 
   become easy to be disoriented but the only advice I can give you
   is to go from arrow to arrow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
24-Operation Crimson Emperor\The Defender: -Win agianst the 
   battleships and protect our ally's flagships
   Pilots: 3rd Element + Rick, Alex, and Ellen
   Objectives: Same as 23
   Enemies: Francine, Type-F4, Type-F3, Type-R3
   My Way: Same as 23
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
25-Operation crimson Emperor/The Decisive Battle-
   Pilots-Hoist prendre, Brian douglas
   Objective-destory or at least destory all the enemy battleship until 
   lilia says she made through...
   Enemy-Battleship/motherships, R-27P(optional targets that don't have to 
   be destoryed) Ellen(Note:she is only the enemy if you didn't beat the 
   earth missions with Ken).Francine
   My way: well since i did this mission the second game play just USE 
   the VIC VIPER since its guns are deadly you'll beat the mission in no 
   time with this aircraft...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
26-Operation Crimson Emperor\Rush into the red star: -Send in 
   ally's ships by covering them from attacks
   Pilots: 3rd + Alex, Rick, Ellen
   Objectives:Same as 23
   Enemies:Type-F4, Francine
   My Way:Same as 23 except that this is a little easier
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------Boss Battles--------------------

27-Operation Crimson Emperor\Battle of Underground: -Destroy 
   all offensive missiles
   Pilots: 2nd Element
   Hints: Your goal is to defend the central target. Destroy the missiles
   that are slowly digging there way through
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
28-Operation Crimson Emperor\Mothership: -Attack and destroy 
   the fort of the enemy
   Pilots:3rd Element + Ellen
   Hint: Part 1- Take out the "mushrooms" on the bottom of the rock then 
   hit the large "mushroom" in the rocks "eye".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
29-Operation Crimson Emperor\Inside: -Infiltrate into the 
   enemy's facility and sink it down
   Pilots: 3rd Element + Ellen
   Hint: Part 2- Take the right path, has less doors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
30-Operation Crimson Emperor\The Asteroid: -Infiltrate and 
   destroy indescriminate attack forts of the enemy
   Pilots: Rick, Alex
   Hints: Generally the easier of the 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------Extra-------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
31-The confront
   Pilot-Ken
   Objective-Duel fight
   Enemy-Albert
   How to unlock this mission-in order to unlock this mission you must 
   play the whole game with only Ken and if you have Ellen in the EDAF 
   then you can unlock that mission...all you gotta do is beat Mission 
   28/29 Mothership/inside with ken and return and go to the mission 
   briefing there will be a mission called "the confront".
   My way- you better have good flight skills because your jet is a 
   Seeker(the name. Note:this jet can only be fly in this mission you 
   cannot fly this jet in free mode in other missions only this mission 
   it can be flew.) space fighter and good thing you have not only MSSLS 
   but HM-AAM just don't 
   miss because you only got 6 HM-AAM....just shoot him down and with 
   missiles just shoot fast if you get behind him...
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
32-Operation Code T-8: -Attack the oil base on the sea and 
   cut the supply line of the enemy
   Pilots: 2nd Element
   Enemies: Donald
   My Way: Another toughie. Either have a plane that can takeout a large 
   area or skim the water to avoid being hit by the ship missiles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
33-CounterAttack\Fleet Attack: -Blitz the port of the enemy and succeed
   Pilots: 2nd Element
   Enemies: None
   Objectives: Takeout as many ships before time expires
   My Way: For max carnage fly around the bay in a cresent. If you have a 
   plane with multilock AGM's then the mission is sugary sweetness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
34-Operation Raccoon Hunt\Lone Wolf: -Stop the invasion of 
   the enemy aircrafts
   Pilots: John
   Enemies: Francine, Jake , JII8M, J-7MG, J-8
   Objectives: Dogfight until ordered to leave
   My Way: Just fire away!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
35-Priority: -Guard the neutral hospital under attack
   Pilots: Ruth
   Enemies:Leon, Ellen, Giuseppe, Su-35, Su-24m, Yak-38, 
   Objectives: Dogfight until the ship is destroyed
   My Way: From what I understand there is no way to save this ship.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
36-Operation Racoon Hunt\Far behind: -Help your ally stop the invasion
   Pilots: Ken, Ruth
   Objectives: Dogfight
   Enemies: Jake, Francine, J-8IIM, J-7MG, J-8
   My Way: Again, fire away!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
37-The last duel
   Pilot-Ruth
   Objective-Duel battle
   Enemy-Ellen
   How to unlock- to unlock this mission you have to be playing as Ruth 
   when your doing the "Rush into the Red Star" play that mission and beat 
   it and when you go to the map there should be a path to the left...
   Note:this mission will not be unlocked if Ellen is in the EDAF its only 
   unlock if Ellen is the enemy in other words don't play the story 
   mission With Ken My way-once again i play this the second time through..
   you better have a very fast fighter that has good Air to Air missiles 
   and has very good defence because Ellen is flying a Mech that goes at 
   Mach 3 Speed...preferally i use Either the Jerry Mouse,AXELAY,VIC VIPER
   <this jet is a good choice to use since its strong guns...
   IMPORTANT note on playing mission 37 ("The Last Duel")...
   when the new path leading to the mission opens up--you MUST go directly
   to the mission

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hints:
GH: (Profiles)
When you are choosing a pilot for a mission, they have a normal way of 
standing (their pose, if you will) if they are standing differently, I 
think it's a hint the game developers put in that you should use them for 
the mission.  For instance, in the mission "Hyper speed Rick" he is 
smiling and facing the player, where as usually he is doing a side 
profile.  If you beat the mission a certain way, you will unlock the 
aura wing immediately.  I did it by taking no damage, but I think the 
goal is time, or having over half of your hp left at the end.  I really 
don't know.  But on "Metro" I used the twinbee, beating it quickly and 
having half of my life left and immediately recieved the "flint rock".
HS: (Sea Vixen)
I found your AFDS-guide on game-faqs.com and noticed your mention about 
Brians plane "Sea Vixxen". Actually I dont know how I got it, but since
I was more interested in those other planes ,I never used Brian for any 
mission untill the "Stampede Campaign-Tigers Cave".when I checked out 
the shop to see what new planes it had to offer for every pilot , I 
noticed the "Sea Vixxen" for Brian.Because I never used Brian , I didnt
 have the credits to buy it ( even it was very cheap : 35000 credits ). 
so the next "Stand by - Mission" i used Brian to buy-and-try the 
Sea Vixxen.actually the Sea Vixxen isn�t that good ( as you can 
already see by its price ).It has no guns , 70 missiles , ( but ) 
50 unguided bombs , defence of 1200 and stealthlevel 0.
air to air :2 - air to ground :1 - speed :1 - thrust :1 - mobility :2 
( to say it in your "aircraftstats" ).
 maybe this will help you , just give it a try and dont use Brian in 
the first half of the game and you ( hopefully ) will get the 
Sea Vixxen without doing anything.

AFDS-ConciseGuide  : Version 1.3
By Wayne Heft
This guide is designed to offer a quick reference for those who want
to find exactly what they need.
Notes:This is my first guide so I apologize for any mistakes. As of 
6/06/04 I have completed the game 4 times but I have restarted in an 
attempt to obtain Brian's Sea Vixen so it will be awhile before having 
every fact found. As for the aircrafts ratings they are only my rough 
estimation and not a definate number. I have tried to make sure that 
every fact is correct but it is not guaranteed. Or in other words
- Use at your own risk! 
Future Versions: I plan to add the last details as I play further 
through the game.
Credits: I want to thank all those who have posted on the boards with 
their tips and insights on this game. Also I want to thank Mooha Master 
for posting the airplane guide which helped me the first time I played 
the game. However as you can see I did research my own aircraft stats. 
Finally it must be noted that the game is the property of Konami.
The Author: I am a 27 year old who began gaming in 1983 at age of 6 or 7. 
However I'm still only a newbie at writing FAQ's. 
My public email is at [email protected]. However I
will only respond to constructive criticism. Any tips that I recieve and 
post will recieve full credit with their name besides the tip.
Copyright 2004 Wayne Heft. If someone wants to use the guide for a
nonprofit use then I just ask that you give me credit as the author. 
If it's for profit then I ask that you ask me for permission.
