Aircraft Guide

Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 Aircraft Guide

Written by: David Callander

Despite never playing the first game, I picked this up on a limb because I
enjoy flying games. It seems to be the type of that game either you like it
or hate it, and I'm rather liking it. But enough of that, on with the guide.

1) Introduction

Welcome to my aircraft guide for all the flyable aircraft in Tom Clancy's
HAWX 2. This will be my first attempt at a "current generation" system, as
my previous works have been for the NES, SNES, GBA, and PSP systems. This
is not a complete walkthrough of the game, but rather a simple guide to the
stats of each aircraft available to obtain in HAWX 2.

As with my Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 guide I wrote for the PSP, feel
free to host this guide on your websites if you wish as its not a full guide.
No strings attached but I would prefer an email letting me know at some point
in time. :)

I've not spent as much time on HAWX 2 as other players have, but if you have
a question or comment about this guide, feel free to email me.

Email: [email protected]

Be sure to include a subject in the line so I don't find a no subject email and
delete it if its legit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Previous Works

Here is a list of all the work I have done in the past, which can be found
at Gamefaqs.com.

Final Fantasy I Walkthrough (NES)
Final Fantasy II Walkthrough (SNES)
Breath of Fire Walkthrough (SNES)
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Weapons Guide (PSP)
Final Fantasy 5 Advance Monster Control List (GBA)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Notes

There appears to be some issues with some of the aircraft in terms of speed
in HAWX 2. Take for example the EF-111A. Top speed is 1601 MPH. As of today
(10-7-10) it is the fastest plane I have tested to date. Of course with a 9/10
speed rating, it should be fast but that's just wrong. The F-15C which is still
one of the fastest planes in the world tops out at 1413 MPH in HAWX 2. The F-2
has a 7/10 speed rating, yet its faster than the F-16C which has 8/10. Minor
issues for sure but I'd let that be known before people read the details and
find out its wrong.

One last note here. I decided to make this FAQ before unlocking the F-22 and
the speed bonus before it. Therefore, the max speeds do not take that into
consideration, except on the F-22.

DLC - Not really too happy with the new planes. F-4 and Mig-21 seemed to me
to be rush jobs. Both have the exact same default loadouts, and plane
mastery bonuses. Not sure what the Mig-21 would have gotten, but why not set
the default F-4 to HSM/RGM like it was back in the old days? F-86 and Mig-15
get no extra weapons. Okay I'm down with that, but I am positive I have seen
from documentaries and such on TV that the F-86 could fire rockets and drop
bombs. Why not just give it that too? Not saying that the DLC is bad just wish
a little more effort went into making it a bit more accurate.

4) Revision History

10-12-10

The initial version of thise guide. Originally uploaded to Gamefaqs on October
10, 2010. A few hours afterwards, I discovered that Mig Alley and Cold War
packs were added to the Playstation Store.  Ann update to this guide
was necessary.

10-17-10

Bought and downloaded the expansions, thus adding the following aircraft into
the guide. Fixed a few spelling errors as well. No other changes were made
from the original version.

F-86 Sabre
F-4E Phantom II
Mig-15 Fagot
Mig-21 Fishbed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) Basic Info

Each aircraft will have a chart that will look something like this:

+--------------------------------------+
|Air to Air:                           |
|Air to Ground:                        |
|Speed:                                |
|Armor:                                |
|Handling:                             |
|Payload:                              |
+--------------------------------------+
^The game already tells you all of this. Of course you have to unlock planes
as you go, so the point of the guide is to give you some insight on them, so
you can decide which order you'll want to unlock them in.

The information below is based on various runs through the game and such.

+--------------------------------------+
|Unlock:                               |
|Type:                                 |
|Custom weapon pack limit:             |
|Max speed:                            |
|Stall speed:                          |
|Takeoff speed:                        |
|Landing speed:                        |
+--------------------------------------+

Now a breakdown on what these things mean. The higher the value the better.

Air to Air: How well the aircraft will fair in dogfighting.
Air to Ground: How effective the aircraft is at attacking ground targets.
Speed: The max speed of the aircraft.
Armor: Determines how much damage your aircraft will take from enemy fire.
Handling: Indicates how well your aircraft can maneuver while in flight.
Payload: Determines how many weapons your aircraft can carry. Also affects
the custom weapon pack limit.
Unlock: How many XP tokens you need to spend in order to unlock the plane.
Type: Either land or naval. In certain custom story missions (like Oil City)
you will only be able to use naval planes.
Custom weapon pack limit: The total weight of weapons you may add to the
plane. Also note you can only select 3 different types of weapons max.
Max speed: The maximum speed of the aircraft.
Stall speed: The speed at which the aircraft will stall at.
Takeoff speed: The minimum speed the plane must reach to take off.
Landing speed: The minimum speed the plane must reach to lower its landing
gear.

Below that will be a chart for the plane mastery bonuses. As you obtain
aircraft and fly missions, each kill you obtain with that plane will add XP
towards plane mastery. As you gain levels, the plane will obtain bonuses to
improve it. Do note that P.E.C. challenges (if any) are obtained while playing,
they do not count towards plane mastery, only kills will.

As you begin to unlock bonuses, each plane will have a new weapon loadout to
choose from (besides the custom weapon pack). While most players will already
know the abbreviations for each, I'll add them just so newer players can become
familiar with them.

JSM = Joint Strike Missile
HSM = Heat Seeking Missile
RGM = Radar Guided Missile
MM = Multiple Missiles
UGB = Unguided Bomb
RP = Rocket Pods
AGM = Anti-Ground Missile
CBU = Cluster Bomb Unit
PB = Precision Bomb
PM = Precision Missile
GP = Gun Pod
SOM = Stand-Off Missile
ECM = Electronic Counter Measures

Alright you still with me? I haven't lost anyone with the terminology have I?
Okay now that's out of the way lets start looking at some aircraft.

it stealth. Therefore, if you take say Multiple Missiles, or 4x Precision Bomb
for a custom weapon pack, that will be all you can add.

*: Despite having a payload rating 7/10 this plane can only carry 6000 weight
in custom weapons. 7/10 is usually good for 10000 or so. I suspect because
there are only 4 hardpoints to attach weapons to is the reason behind this.

**: This is the max speed with the speed increase bonus from levelling the
aircraft to level 4.

?: Not really sure if this is the top speed or not. The Mig-25 accelerates
really slow. Didn't think it was gonna be super sonic at first based on
how long it took to get there. Can't find any maps large enough to let it
get to max speed while trying to navigate around the map without turning too
much and losing speed.

?: This is just a guess on my part. Like the Mig-25, the Mirage F1 takes a
very long time to reach its top speed. However, flying around the map at
1300 MPH, it takes very little time to reach the boundaries. Even turning with
R1/L1 to avoid losing too much speed is impossible. Making a turn to avoid the
boundaries you might lose 100 MPH, and then by the time its to turn again, you
just got that speed back from the previous turn.

6) Credits

I'd like to thank SBAllen for keeping Gamefaqs.com alive, and for allowing me
to host the various guides I have wrote over the years. I'd also like to thank
CJayC for originall starting Gamefaqs, and thus giving me some inspiration to
write FAQs of my own.

My thanks also go out to Ubisoft for making this game. I do have some gripes
and complaints about some things, but nothing game breaking.

And finally I'd like to give a big thanks out to the players I've spent time
online with. While I've not spent as much time online as other people have,
doing some Survival or Team Battle sure made it much more fun levelling up
than just grinding the Blackout level time and time again. :)
