I. Story
(Taken from mission 1 intro)
Neuwork Inc. and General Resource are bitter rivals in the competition for
economic domination of the world.  A defection of key scientists from General
Resource to Neuwork is the latest tactical coup in this atmosphere of rising
tensions.
Universal Peace Enforcement Organization (UPEO) Command believes that Neuwork's
recent acquisitions of advanced technology and researchers in emerging
technologies are part of a master plan to surpass General Resource in all
critical economic sectors.
Moreover, Neuwork's recent show of force against General Resource indicates
Neuwork's willingness to use violence to achieve their corporate objectives.
Your mission as a UPEO pilot is to protect General Resource's interests that
are threatened by Neuwork's aggressions.
However, keep in mind that UPEO's prime directive is to mediate and maintain
peace among all parties at all costs.


II. Planes

existing aircraft designed to fly extremely fast.  This game takes place in the
future, after all.

III. Weapons
       A. Guns
       1. Vulcan
       They're just regular bullets.  That's all.

       2. Heavy Machine Gun
       They do more damage than the Vulcan.

       3. Cannon
       They are the most damaging of the solid-type bullets.  They don't have
       very fast rapid fire and they have fair range.

       4. Neutron beam (Only available on R-352 Sepia)
       Used to blow up satellites in Mission 16 (But I doubt you'll need to
       use this weapon).

       5. Pulse laser (Only available on R-102, R-211 and R-103)
       Energy orbs shoot out of your craft.

       6. Laser Cannon (Only available on XR-900 and X-49)
       A long beam comes out the front of your plane.  It is very damaging to
       whatever it touches and it goes pretty far.  Has a slow reload time.

       B. Missiles
       1. Regular Missile
       Just a standard, heat-seeking missile.  That's all.
       Fire rate: 2 or 4

       2. Short-Range Missile
       Shorter range than Regular Missile but has more rapid-fire
       Fire rate: 4 or 6

       3. Ground Missile
       Made for ground targets, as they have very low range and firing rate.
       (When the current target is air-based, normal missiles are used
       regardless of the plane you use.  It's just an oddity I wanted to point
       out.)
       Fire rate: 2

       4. Plasma Beam (Only available on R-352 Sepia)
       Used to blow up satellites in Mission 16.
       Fire rate: 4

       5. Anti-Nanobite bomb (Only usable in Mission 18)
       These are used to, well, get rid of nanobites. After all, it's
       called an "Anti-Nanobite Bomb", isn't it?
       Fire rate: 1

       6. M.I.R.V.
       Divides into 4 warheads. Warheads converge onto target.
       Fire rate: 2

       7. Spread Bomb
       Used to blow up stuff on the ground.
       (When the current target is air-based, normal missiles are used
       regardless of the plane you use.)
       This weapon can only be used on the Mission Simulator.
       Fire rate: 2

       8. O.S.L.
       See Section V. Secrets for info.


IV. Walkthrough
Before I actually start the walkthrough, let me explain the messages you get
after finishing a mission.
- If you get a "Mission Accomplished" message, that means you have completed
 all the required objectives within the time limit if one exists.  If you did
 the bare minimum necessary to successfully complete the objectives, you will
 get a "C" rating, which is not necessarily good.  To get better ratings, you
 need to kill some enemies (marked white)!  The more enemies you destroy the
 better!  Just don't exceed the time limit...
- In some missions, ratings of "A" are rewarded with new planes!  "A" ratings
 are also necessary to unlock certain secrets.
- If you get a "Mission Over" message, that means that you did not complete
 the required objectives within the time limit.  "Mission Over" messages are
 followed by "D" ratings, which are VERY disappointing!
- If you get a "Mission Failed" message, you need to repeat the mission!
 Examples of mission failures include:
 - Getting shot down by an enemy
 - Crashing into the terrain
 - Allowing the plane you're escorting to be destroyed
 - Allowing your targets to escape
 - Exiting the combat area
 If you fail a mission, you get the option to retry the mission.
With that out of the way, let's get on with the walkthrough!

       1. Transport
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's air force is transporting military supplies over the no-fly
       zone above Expo City.  Scramble immediately and destroy their
       transports.
       Targets:
       R-501 (x4)
       R-101 (x1) (appears after destroying all 4 R-501s)
       Enemies:
       R-201 (x2)
       R-101 (x2)
       R-101 (x3) (appear after destroying all 4 R-501s)
       Strategy:
       Destroy the 4 R-501 transports (marked as red on the radar) in under 3
       minutes.  After all 4 are destroyed, there will be no time limit and
       more planes will appear. Destroy the plane marked red on the radar to
       finish the mission.
       If you do not destroy the last R-501 before the timer hits 3:00, the
       mission will end after you destroy the last R-501 and you will receive
       a D for this mission.
       It doesn't matter if you destroy all the white planes, unless you want
       more planes or access to the last mission.  You need all As and Bs in
       missions 1 through 35 to gain access to mission 36.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       (For kill-based grading systems, I will state how many enemies need to
       be destroyed IN ADDITION to all targets.  It should already be obvious
       that all the targets need to be destroyed, but I'm just putting this
       here to avoid confusion.)
       A: 5+ enemies
       B: 4 enemies
       C: 0-3 enemies

       2. Interference
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's Waiapolo Mountain radio transmitters are jamming General
       Resource's military communications.  Destroy all 8 transmitters
       scattered throughout the mountains.
       Targets:
       Radar (x8)
       Base (x4) (appears after destroying all 8 radars)
       Bridge (x1) (appears after destroying all 8 radars)
       Enemies:
       R-101 (x2)
       R-201 (x2)
       AA (Anti-Aircraft) Gun (x5)
       SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) (x2)
       Strategy:
       Seek and destroy the 8 radar sites in the mission in less than 4
       minutes.  After destroying the radar sites you will be updated with 5
       more red targets: 4 bases and a bridge.  Destroy all the planes, as
       well as the AA Guns and SAM Launchers near the bases.  Note: the time
       limit only applies for the destruction of the radar sites.
       If you don't destroy the last radar site before the timer hits 4:00,
       the mission will end after you destroy the last radar site and you will
       receive a D for this mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 10+ enemies
       B: 5-9 enemies
       C: 0-4 enemies

       3. Joint Maneuvers
       Mission Briefing:
       Based on the success of the previous mission, General Resource Defense
       Force has agreed to participate in joint training exercises.  Follow
       instructions issued by GRDF's ace fighter in the F-15S/MT "Eagle+" to
       begin your training flight.
       Targets:
       Decoy (x3) (cannot lock on)
       Tower (x3)
       Container (x5) (appear after destroying all 3 towers)
       Enemies:
       R-201 (x4) (appear after destroying all 3 towers)
       R-501 (x1) (appear after destroying all 3 towers)
       Strategy:
       Follow the F-15. Try to keep the word PURSUE on your screen.  If PURSUE
       disappears from your screen, Find the F-15 and get within 1000 feet of
       it. After 1½ minutes, you will be given 3 air targets and 3 ground
       targets.  Use your gun on the Decoys and your missiles on the Towers.
       You earn 400 points for each Decoy and 200 points for each Tower.
       After getting all the targets, an enemy air transport will drop 5
       containers.  Destroy all 5 containers with your gun to finish the
       mission.
       Grading System (Point-based):
       This is the only mission with a point-based grading system.  To find
       out how many points you need to get in the first 1½ minutes, subtract
       1800 from the points required for each grade.
       A: 5000+ points
       B: 4000-4999 points
       C: 3000-3999 points
       D: <3000 points
       Personal Comments: If your controls are set to easy (that is, when you
       tilt the analog stick left, it just turns left), then you may find
       maintaining a constant pursuit during the first 1½ minutes a pretty
       difficult task.

       4. Megafloat
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's naval vessels are sailing north across the Eusian Ocean to
       fortify a military installation on the floating city Megafloat. Destroy
       them to stop the further militarization of the city.
       Targets:
       WarShip (x1)
       Convoy (x1)
       Carrier (x1)
       R-101 (x2) (Appear after destroying all watercraft)
       R-201 (x2) (Appear after destroying all watercraft)
       Enemies:
       R-101 (x2)
       R-201 (x2)
       AA Gun (x4)
       SAM (x4)
       Neutral Targets (Don't Attack):
       Facilities (x4)
       Transport (x2)
       NOTE: The ships have artillery mounted on them.  When a ship is
       destroyed, all artillery on the ship is destroyed as well.  Therefore,
       I will not count artillery on ships as individual enemies.
       Strategy:
       Go to the convoy and warship and destroy them. Ignore the R-101 and go
       to the island.  Destroy all the AA Guns and SAM Launchers on the
       island, without destroying the neutral targets.  Go to the aircraft
       carrier and destroy it before the timer hits 3 minutes.  After you
       destroy the aircraft carrier, destroy the 2 enemy R-201s, and then
       destroy the target planes.  Land the plane on the carrier or have the
       autopilot do it for you.
       If you do not destroy the last watercraft before the timer hits 3:00,
       the mission will end after you destroy the last watercraft and you will
       receive a D for this mission.
       NOTE: I will not describe the landing procedure!  Figure it out
       yourself.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 10+ enemies
       B: 6-9 enemies
       C: 0-5 enemies

       5. Scramble
       Mission Briefing:
       8 R-201 "Asterozoa" attack jets on stand-by were ID'd at Neuwork's
       Waiapolo Mountain air base last night.  Wipe them out to reduce the air
       base's military effectiveness!
       Targets:
       R-201 (x8) (On ground)
       Enemies:
       R-102 (x2)
       R-211 (x2)
       AA Gun (x4)
       SAM (x1)
       Strategy:
       Shoot down the R-211 directly in front of you. Shoot down the other
       R-211.  If the clock hits 30 seconds while attacking the other R-211,
       leave it.  Then go straight to the airfield.  Attack the SAM Launcher,
       then work on the R-201s.  You can destroy the AA Guns, but all 8
       R-201s must be destroyed before the clock hits 3 minutes. If you do not
       destroy all of them within the time limit, more targets will appear and
       you'll have to destroy them to get a "Mission Over" instead.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 7+ enemies
       B: 2-6 enemies
       C: 0-1 enemies
       Personal comments: I don't know about you, but I seem to have a tough
       time in this mission on normal or hard difficulty.  Your targets are
       bunched close together, each one takes 2 missiles to destroy, and the
       planes you can use at this point in the game can only fire 2 missiles
       at a time.  I recommend settling for a B during a normal game, and
       coming back to this mission on the Mission Simulator with a better
       plane.

       6. Target Acquisition
       Mission Briefing:
       Illegal military facilities discovered in Expo City.  UPEO requests a
       recon mission of the area to assess the possibility of a military coup.
       Use laser targeting to photograph the facilities.
       Targets:
       Facilities (x4)
       F-16XA (x3) (Appear after targeting all facilities)
       F/A-18I (x3) (Appear after targeting all facilities)
       Enemies:
       F-16XF (x3)
       F-16XA (x3)
       AA Gun (x8)
       SAM (x3)
       Strategy:
       Find the 4 facilities and shoot them within the 3-minute time limit.
       Then take all the time you need to take out the ground weapons and the
       6 target planes.  You don't need to worry about shooting down the enemy
       planes, since you earn an A just for taking out just the ground enemies
       and target planes.
       If you take longer than 3 minutes to shoot all 4 facilities, the
       mission will end after you shoot the last facility and you will receive
       a D for this mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 10+ enemies
       B: 5-9 enemies
       C: 0-4 enemies

       7. Fragile Cargo
       Mission Briefing:
       At 18:30 hours, a terrorist communique alerted UPEO command to the
       launch of an unmanned airship carrying bio weapons over Axel Bay's
       coastal industrial region.  The ship's low altitude is on a collision
       course with buildings.  Destruction of the ship will release its deadly
       payload. Destroy any buildings in its path for a safe water landing.
       Targets:
       The airship will be heading in one of three directions.
       If the airship is heading southwestward, you'll need to destroy 9
       chimneys and 1 bridge.  The hydrofoil will launch at 4:40.
       If the airship is heading westward, you will need to destroy 7
       chimneys.  The hydrofoil will launch at 5:26.
       If the airship is heading northwestward, you'll need to destroy 10
       chimneys and 1 bridge.  The hydrofoil will launch at 6:06.
       Enemies:
       UI-4054 (x1)
       Don't let this aircraft crash:
       UI-4052 (x1)
       Strategy:
       Destroy all chimneys marked as targets to prevent the runaway blimp
       UI-4052 from crashing and releasing the biological weapons onboard.  If
       the UI-4052 crashes into something you must start over.  If you want
       to, you can destroy the UI-4054.  After the blimp makes a safe landing,
       a hydrofoil will come out.  Destroy it to finish the mission.
       I don't feel like doing a grading system due to the unusual nature of
       this mission.  All you need to know is that if you destroy all the
       chimneys, the UI-4054, and the hydrofoil, you're bound to get an A.

       8. Demilitarization
       Mission Briefing:
       Despite repeated warnings, Neuwork continues to upgrade Megafloat's
       military capabilities.  Destroy any military targets on-board
       Megafloat!
       Targets:
       R-201 (x2)
       AA Gun (x4)
       Tower (x1)
       Enemies:
       R-101 (x4)
       R-201 (x2)
       Convoy (x2)
       Carrier (x1)
       AA Gun (x4) (1 on each Convoy, 2 on Carrier)
       SAM (x5) (1 on carrier)
       You're probably going to ask me, "Why are you listing artillery on
       ships as individual enemies in this mission, but not in mission 4?"
       That's because the ships in this mission are not targets.  However, the
       artillery on the ships are still counted as individual enemies.
       Strategy:
       Go into a nosedive and destroy the convoy in front of you.  Then pull
       up and destroy another convoy.  Pull up even more and attack the 2
       R-201s.  Head to the island and destroy all the SAM Launchers, and
       then all the AA Guns.  Ignore the tower for now.  Head southeast and
       destroy the aircraft carrier.  Return to the island and destroy the 2
       target R-201s. Then destroy as many R-101s as you can before the clock
       hits 3:15.  After you destroy all the R-101s (or the clock hits 3:15,
       whichever comes first), Find the tower and destroy it before the clock
       hits 3:30.  If you exceed the time limit, a hydrofoil will be launched,
       and you'll have to destroy it to get a "Mission Over" instead.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 17-18 enemies
       B: 8-16 enemies
       C: 0-7 enemies

       9. Moonlight Flower
       Mission Briefing:
       UPEO Intelligence discovered that Neuwork's microwave power plant
       supplies power to their illegal munitions factory.  Microwave
       interference from the plant may reduce effectiveness of your missile
       guidance system.  Use your machine gun to attack and disable the power
       plant.
       Enemies:
       R-101 (x3)
       R-201 (x4)
       R-701 (x2)
       AA Gun (x4)
       SAM (x4)
       Targets:
       Power Plant (x4)
       Core (x1)
       Strategy:
       Destroy all the planes and the SAM Launcher in the area directly in
       front of you.  Then shoot the power plants with your guns (missiles
       can't lock on).  After destroying all 4 plants, you will be able to
       target with your missiles.  Destroy all the AA Guns, R-701s and R-201s
       in the area.  Go to a high altitude, turn around toward the core, and
       destroy it before the timer hits 5 minutes.
       If you do not destroy the core before the timer hits 5 minutes, you
       will receive a D for this mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 13+ enemies
       B: 7-12 enemies
       C: 0-6 enemies

       10. Maze
       Mission Briefing:
       A suspicious plane alleged to be General Resource's spyplane was
       spotted in the Hatties Ravine region.  Pursue and conduct surveillance
       on the craft.
       I won't be using the normal format for listing enemies in this mission.
       However, I can tell you this much:
       There are 10 AH-66Bs in the actual maze portion, but you will only see
       about 4 or 5 of them as you follow the A/F-117X through the maze.  The
       A/F-117X will lead you to one of three endpoints.  All of the endpoints
       have 3 AH-66Bs, a hydrofoil, 2 oiltanks, and a base.  However, you'll
       only need to worry about the endpoint that the A/F-117X leads you to.
       Strategy:
       Follow the A/F-117X through the canyon and destroy any enemies in front
       of you.  If you go too high, you must start over.  If you manage to
       successfully follow the A/F-117X to one of the endpoints, you will be
       given a new target: a base.  Destroy the base to finish the mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 7+ enemies
       B: 4-6 enemies
       C: 0-3 enemies

       11. Escort
       Mission Briefing:
       Intelligence reports that a UPEO aircraft transporting the NUN (Neo
       United Nations) chairman has been targeted by terrorists.  Scramble at
       once and escort the aircraft currently heading northwest over the
       Lambert Mountains.
       Targets:
       F/A-32C (x5)
       Do not let this plane get shot down:
       R-505U (x1)
       Strategy:
       Fly ahead and destroy all the red targets.  If the R-505U gets shot
       down, you must start over.  Then you can try and refuel, or let the
       autopilot do it for you.
       NOTE: I will not describe the refueling procedure!  I just use the
       autopilot.
       Grading System (Time-based):
       A: <3:00
       B: 3:00-3:59
       C: 4:00+

       12. Stratosphere
       Note: You might want to set your flight control to Easy for this
       mission.
       Mission Briefing:
       6 large planes from Neuwork's air force are en route to General
       Resource's White Valley Air Base at an altitude of 30,000 feet.  Use
       the high altitude stratofighter RF-12A2 "Blackbird" to attack the
       hostiles.
       Targets:
       R-531 (x6)
       Enemies:
       R-311 (x8)
       Strategy:
       First, go down to a lower altitude and destroy 2 R-311s.  Then return
       to the stratosphere and destroy all 6 R-531s.  If you take too long to
       destroy all 6 R-531s, they will escape and you will have to start over.
       Land the plane or let the autopilot do it for you.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 2+ enemies
       B: 1 enemy
       C: 0 enemies

       13. Claustrophobia
       Mission Briefing:
       Presence of Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM's) confirmed at
       2 military installations in Amber Ravine. Intelligence reports that the
       bases appear to be Neuwork's.  Major population centers such as Expo
       City and Port Edwards fall within the IRBM's effective attack range.
       Scramble at once and destroy the bases despite the dense fog.
       Targets:
       Base (x8)
       AA Gun (x2)
       Enemies:
       R-102 (x3)
       R-201 (x2)
       R-211 (x2)
       R-701 (x3)
       Base (x6)
       AA Gun (x7)
       SAM (x4)
       Strategy:
       Ignore all of the R-102s, R-201s, and R-211s.  Destroy every ground
       target, ground enemy, and R-701 you see.  If you do not destroy all the
       red targets within the time limit, a missile will be launched, and
       you'll have to shoot it down (with your guns) to get a "Mission Over"
       instead.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 20+ enemies
       B: 5-19 enemies
       C: 0-4 enemies

       14. Reaching For Stars
       Mission Briefing:
       "Antlion" mobile assault tanks were airdropped near Neuwork's Space
       Research Center.  They appear to be from General Resource's airborne
       unit.  We believe that their mission is to stop the space shuttle
       launch scheduled for today and seize control of the research center.
       Destroy the Antlions before they overrun the base.
       Targets:
       Antlion (x10)
       F/A-32C (x3) (Appear after destroying 10 Antlions)
       Enemies:
       F/A-32C (x3)
       C-17B (x1)
       F/A-32C (x2) (Appear after destroying 10 Antlions)
       Strategy:
       Fly forward and up, accelerating all the way.  When you get within
       about 5000 feet of the first Antlion, slow down.  Lock on to the first
       Antlion, fire, change target, lock on, fire, change target, and
       so on.  If you're good, you might be able to get all 10 in the first
       pass.  If you didn't know already, you should be using the F-15S/MT, so
       getting all 10 shouldn't pose much of a problem.  After destroying all
       10, more planes will show up.  Destroy those planes to finish the
       mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 5+ enemies
       B: 2-4 enemies
       C: 0-1 enemies

       15. Guardian Angel
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's space shuttle is returning to the Comona Island Space
       Research Center.  A squadron from General Resource's air force is
       reportedly on an intercept course with the shuttle.  Secure a safe
       return path for the shuttle!
       Targets:
       F-22C (x7)
       Don't let this aircraft get shot down:
       R-808 (x1)
       Strategy:
       After taking off from the runway, head southeast and attack the 4
       F-22Cs.  After taking them out, head to the other group of F-22Cs and
       take them out also.  If the R-808 gets shot down, you must restart the
       mission. Then land the plane.
       If you for some very strange reason take longer than 4 minutes to shoot
       down all 7 F-22Cs, more planes will appear northeast of the space
       center and you will have to shoot those down to get a "Mission Over".
       Grading System (Time-based):
       A: <3:00
       B: 3:00-3:29
       C: 3:30-3:59

       16. Zero Gravity
       Mission Briefing:
       Recon data from the shuttle has ID'd 4 General Resource satellites as
       Orbital Satellite Lasers (OSL's).  Fly the R-352 "Sepia" star fighter
       and destroy the satellites before they become fully operational.
       Mission objective must be met within the fighter's limited 3 minute
       space flight time.
       Targets:
       Satellite (x4)
       Strategy:
       Just go to each satellite and destroy them.  If you exceed the time
       limit, the nearest remaining satellite will kill you.
       To reenter the atmosphere, raise your pitch until you see a white box
       with a line in the center.  Align the pitch line with the center line
       and you should be okay.
       Grading System (Time-based):
       A: <2:30
       B: 2:30-2:59 (not confirmed)
       C: N/A (not confirmed)

       17. One-Way Ticket
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's researchers were abducted by unknown agents. They are now
       fleeing east across the Sandbury Desert aboard an armored train.
       Eliminate both the train and researchers.
       Targets:
       Attack Train (x6)
       Enemies:
       F/A-32C (x6)
       Strategy:
       Start off by attacking the 6 planes.  After destroying 4 planes, go for
       the attack train.  You must use guns here because your missiles can't
       lock on.  Be careful, as the train may fire back.  Hitting the train is
       not an easy task, because it's so small.  Don't destroy the parts of
       of the train marked N.TGT as your ending grade will drop to a "C" if
       you do so.  Destroy all the targets before it reaches the base in 4½
       minutes!
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 4+ enemies
       B: 2-3 enemies
       C: 0-1 enemies

       18. Bug Hunt
       Mission Briefing:
       UPEO HQ received reports that nanobites were released in the Chopinburg
       forest region.  They've since built gigantic nests out of themselves.
       HQ verified that electronic equipment in close proximity to nests are
       affected adversely by the nanobites.  Use Neuwork's Anti-Nanobite Bomb
       to exterminate them.
       Targets:
       Nano-Bite (x24)
       Strategy:
       There are 3 groups of 8 nanobites.  The nanobites in each group will be
       arranged like this:
       X X X
        X X
       X X X
       When you tilt your plane down, you will see a symbol.  That is the
       aiming cursor for your bombs.  Line the cursor up with the group of
       nanobites and fire.  You may sometimes get more than one nanobite in
       each blast.  Keep firing into the group until all the nanobites are
       destroyed.  Repeat for the other groups.  Stay away from the
       ellipsoids; they emit radiation which damages your plane.
       Grading System (Time-based):
       A: <5:00
       B: 5:00+
       C: N/A (not confirmed)

       19. Blackbird
       Note: You might want to set your flight control to Easy for this
       mission.
       Mission Briefing:
       4 large Neuwork air transports are closing in on General Resource's
       White Valley Air Base with a high altitude approach.  Fly the RF-12A2
       "Blackbird" with high altitude combat capabilities to intercept them.
       Targets:
       R-531 (x4)
       Strategy:
       If you do not destroy all 4 R-531s before the timer hits 1:30, then 2
       R-311s will emerge for every R-531 still in the air.  If that happens,
       try to destroy the R-311s while they are still descending.
       Grading System (Time-based):
       A: <2:00
       B: 2:00-2:59
       C: 3:00-3:59

       20. Fjord
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's naval fleet is upgrading itself at its Petrol Coast logistics
       base.  The base is sheltered from aerial attacks by the area's fjord
       topography.  Infiltrate the area via a low altitude approach from the
       sea ahd destroy the fleet!
       Targets:
       Submarine (x3)
       Convoy (x3)
       Enemies:
       R-102 (x1)
       R-201 (x2)
       R-211 (x10)
       R-701 (x8)
       Strategy:
       You have 9 minutes to destroy all 6 targets, which means you have
       plenty of time to destroy all the other enemies in this mission;-)
       If you take longer than 9 minutes to destroy all 6 targets, you will
       receive a D for this mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 18+ enemies
       B: 11-17 enemies
       C: 0-10 enemies

       21. Counterterrorism
       Mission Briefing:
       A large airborne aircraft carrier has been spotted over Megafloat.
       UPEO Intelligence suggests that this is an attempt by a coup d'etat
       force to take over Megafloat.  Scramble immediately to destroy the
       carrier and suppress the group.
       Targets:
       UI-4053 (x1)
       Su-43 (x3) (appear after destroying 4 parts of UI-4053)
       XFA-36A (x1) (appears after destroying 4 parts of UI-4053)
       UI-4054 (x1) (appears after destroying previous 4 targets)
       Strategy:
       Attack the UI-4053 while dodging its missiles and guns.  The UI-4053
       has 4 parts, but you can only target 1 part at a time.  Also, each part
       takes 2 or 4 missiles to destroy depending on what difficulty mission
       you are playing this mission on.  After you destroy the 4 parts, 4
       planes will show up.  After destroying all 4 planes, a new plane, the
       UI-4054, will show up.  Destroy the UI-4054 to finish the mission.
       Grading System (Time-based):
       A: <4:00
       B: 4:00+
       C: N/A (not confirmed)

       22. ECM
       Mission Briefing:
       Ouroboros is operating an illegal weapons plant in an Expo City
       facility.  Their radar will be jammed to enable a stealth approach in
       order to keep combat in the city's airspace to a minimum.  Time raids
       to jamming periods and bomb the plant.
       Targets:
       Production Plant (x2)
       Radar Site (x7)
       Enemies:
       AH-66B (x2)
       AA Gun (x7)
       SAM (x2)
       Strategy:
       When the word JAMMING appears, go into a nosedive.  Attack the
       production plant in front of you, then raise your nose and attack the
       radar site.  Veer right and destroy the next production plant.  Then
       head west and follow the bridge to the next radar site.  Veer right and
       destroy the next radar site, and veer a little to the left to the next
       radar site.  By now you will be asked to pull up, so pull up to above
       12500 ft.  Then make a left turn so that you are now pointing south.
       When the word JAMMING appears, go into a nosedive and destroy the radar
       site in front and left of you.  Then destroy the radar site to the
       left, and head WSW to the last radar site. Land the plane or have the
       autopilot do it for you.
       By the way, if you are below 12500 ft. when the timer is green, you
       will spike the enemy radar, and you will get a "Mission Over" when you
       finish.
       Grading System (Binary?):
       If a grading system is labeled as binary, that means that you will
       either get an A or a D.  In the case of this mission, you will get an A
       if you complete the mission without spiking the enemy radar, or a D if
       you spiked the enemy radar during the mission.

       23. Swarm
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork has been amassing its air force on Megafloat since the recent
       coup d'etat attempt and continues to ignore UPEO's warnings to
       demilitarize.  Destroy Neuwork's air force!
       Targets:
       R-101 (x5)
       R-102 (x5)
       R-103 (x6)
       R-201 (x5)
       R-211 (x5)
       Carrier (x2)
       Convoy (x4)
       Enemies:
       AA Gun (x4)
       SAM (x4)
       Do not attack:
       V-22B (x5)
       Strategy:
       You must shoot down 26 planes.  Don't worry; you have a friend to help
       you do the work.  After downing all 26 planes, head to Megafloat.
       Destroy 2 convoys and a carrier as you fly past the fleet.  Then go
       around the island, destroying all of the AA Guns and SAM Launchers.
       Remember not to attack anything marked N.TGT.  Then head back to what
       remains of the fleet and destroy the remaining ships.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 8 enemies
       B: 4-7 enemies
       C: 0-3 enemies

       24. Damage Control
       Mission Briefing:
       General Resource mobilized its air force in response to Neuwork's
       actions on Megafloat.  Fighting has broken out over Port Edwards
       airspace as a result.  We've received reports that civiilian press
       choppers are in the combat zone.  Stop the fighting between the two
       combatants while protecting civilians!
       Targets:
       R-103 (x3)
       XFA-36A (x3)
       R-103 (x2) (appear after destroying first 5 targets)
       F/A-32C (x2) (appear after destroying first 5 targets)
       Enemies:

       XFA-36A (x4)
       R-102 (x3)
       R-103 (x1)
       Do not attack:
       V-22B (x4)
       Strategy:
       Destroy the enemy planes.  Do not hit the neutral targets.  After you
       destroy all the red targets, more planes will show up.  Destroy those
       planes to finish the mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 12+ enemies
       B: 3-11 enemies
       C: 0-2 enemies

       25. Conspiracy
       Mission Briefing:
       The skirmish between Neuwork and General Resource was caused by false
       intelligence information transmitted from an Ouroboros outpost in Expo
       City.  You are now cleared to destroy this outpost.  Shoot down any
       hostile Ouroboros fighters and bomb the outpost!
       Targets:
       R-211 (x3)
       Su-43 (x4)
       Base (x2)
       Enemies:
       Su-37 (x3)
       AA Gun (x6)
       SAM (x3)
       Tank (x2)
       Strategy:
       Destroy all the enemy planes.  Then destroy all the AA Guns, SAM
       Launchers, and tanks scattered throughout Expo City.  Then destroy the
       2 bases.  Finally, enter the underground base and unleash a whole bunch
       of missiles upon the escaping V-22B.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 11+ enemies
       B: 2-10 enemies
       C: 0-1 enemies

       26. Intercept
       Mission Briefing:
       Neuwork's space research satellite made a water landing in the Eusian
       Ocean, and their recovery unit is en route from Megafloat.  General
       Resource's fleet is also en route and is likely to reach the satellite
       first.  Mobilize immediately and prevent satellite recovery by General
       Resource!
       Targets:
       Convoy (x4)
       Carrier (x1)
       Hydrofoil (x4) (appear after destroying first 5 targets)
       Convoy (x2) (appear after destroying first 5 targets)
       Enemies:
       XFA-36A (x6)
       F-22C (x2)
       C-17B (x2)
       Your Team:
       Hydrofoil (x4)
       Strategy:
       First, you'll want to destroy the XFA-36As that are heading north to
       attack your team of hydrofoils.  The best way to do this is to pass
       them on the left, then turn around and attack from behind.  Don't take
       too long to destroy them; you have to destroy the enemy ships before
       they reach the satellite.  After you've destroyed the XFA-36As, attack
       the 5 enemy ships.  You might want to fire 2 missiles at each ship for
       good measure.  After all 5 ships are destroyed, General Resource
       will send another fleet, this time consisting of 4 hydrofoils and 2
       convoys.  Keep in mind that if any of the enemy ships reach the
       satellite first, you must restart the mission.  Destroy the 4
       hydrofoils, then destroy the rest of the enemy planes, and finally sink
       the 2 convoys to complete this mission.  You also complete the mission
       if your hydrofoils make it to the satellite first.
       If the enemy sinks your first team of hydrofoils, you will receive a D
       for this mission.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 8+ enemies
       B: 3-7 enemies
       C: 0-2 enemies

       27. Plumber
       Mission Briefing:
       General Resource's air base radar facilities are intercepting state
       secrets via satellite.  You are hereby ordered to destroy their
       facilities.  Their radar net detects all aircraft flying above 1300 ft.
       Maintain low altitude flight to infiltrate base and destroy all 8 radar
       facilities.
       Targets:
       Radar Site (x8)
       Enemies:
       F-15 S/MT (x2)
       AA Gun (x4)
       SAM (x2)
       Strategy:
       You must stay below 1300 ft. as you head toward the radar facilities or
       the radars will spot you and you will get a D for this mission.  Once
       you are cleared to engage, you will be allowed to go above 1300 ft.
       Destroy the AA Guns and SAM Launchers, and then the radar sites.  Then
       you can land the plane, or let the autopilot do it for you.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 6+ enemies
       B: 3-5 enemies
       C: 0-2 enemies

       28. Pathfinder
       Mission Briefing:
       Ouroboros abducted the chairman of NUN and imprisoned him at their Expo
       City outpost.  NUN has green lighted an UPEO rescue mission to
       terminate the Expo City Ouroboros detachment and secure the area for
       the rescue unit.
       Targets:
       Su-37 (x4)
       R-101U (x2)
       Tank (x10)
       Su-37 (x2) (appear after cutscene)
       Su-43 (x6) (appear after cutscene)
       Base (x2) (appear after cutscene)
       Enemies:
       AA Gun (x6)
       SAM (x2)
       Tank (x4) (Appear after cutscene)
       Rescue Unit:
       R-201U (x1)
       Strategy:
       Destroy all the enemy planes, then destroy all the AA Guns, SAM
       Launchers, and tanks scattered throughout Expo City.  After all the
       tanks are destroyed, your rescue unit will pick up the NUN chairman.
       After that, destroy all the enemy planes swarming the rescue unit.
       Then destroy the remainder of the tanks, and finally destroy the 2
       bases.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 5+ enemies
       B: 1-4 enemies
       C: 0 enemies

       29. Ouroboros
       Mission Briefing:
       Port Edwards is under attack by Ouroboros' air force.  Scramble
       immediately and eliminate all hostile aircraft.
       Targets:
       XFA-36A (x6)
       UI-4053 (x1) (appear when first 6 targets are destroyed)
       Enemies:
       Su-37 (x10)
       R-103 (x2) (appear when first 6 targets are destroyed)
       Su-43 (x2) (appear when first 6 targets are destroyed)</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
       Strategy:
       Take off from the runway. Then attack the 2 groups of 3 XFA-36As.
       If you want, you can destroy the 10 Su-37s to the east.  When you have
       destroyed all 6 XFA-36As, head toward the UI-4053.  Destroy the planes
       surrounding the UI-4053, then attack it.  After you have hit it enough
       times you will be told to stop.
       Grading System (Kill-Based):
       A: 11+ enemies
       B: 3-10 enemies
       C: 0-2 enemies

       From now on, the game automatically advances to the next mission when
       a mission is completed.

       30. Search and Destroy
       Mission Briefing:
       The Ouroboros naval forces are reportedly advancing toward Megafloat.
       Ouroboros support aircraft have also been sighted in the area.
       Scramble immediately and destroy all enemy forces.
       Targets:
       S. WarShip (x3)
       Carrier (x1)
       UI-4053 (x1) (Appears after destroying first 4 targets)
       Enemies:
       XFA-36A (x8)
       R-103 (x6) (appear after destroying first 4 targets)
       Strategy:
       Shoot down the 8 XFA-36As, then attack the 3 stealth warships and
       aircraft carrier near the island.  After destroying the fleet, you will
       watch as a mysterious plane annihilates the island.  Head toward the
       UI-4053, destroy the planes surrounding it, and finally destroy the
       UI-4053.
       Grading System (Kill-based):
       A: 9+ enemies
       B: 2-8 enemies
       C: 0-1 enemies

       31. Tunnel Vision
       Strategy:
       Somewhere in the first part, doors will start closing. Head through the
       doors that close slowly. When you reach a dark and light tunnel, you
       can pick either one. The light tunnel to the right twists and turns.
       The dark tunnel to the left is a more direct path to the third section,
       but it dips and rises.  When you reach the end of either tunnel, you
       will see sets of three tunnels.  In each set, 2 doors close quickly.
       Fly past the doors that close slowly. When you reach a fork, take
       either one, it does not matter.  Fly through the green tunnel. (if you
       are in Easy difficulty, this is the end of the mission. If you are in
       Normal or Hard difficulty, the mission keeps going.) You will reach a
       clearing.  Go through one of the tunnels, and get past the obstacles,
       which mainly consists of vertical and horizontal green pillars. The
       large green hexagonal tunnel marks the end of the mission.
       Grading System (Time-based)
       A: <4:00 (<3:00 on Easy)
       B: 4:00+ (3:00+ on Easy)
       C: N/A

       32. Night Raven
       Targets:
       X-49 (x1)
       Strategy:
       The plane you're attacking, the X-49 Night Raven, is harder to hit than
       ordinary enemies.  Anyway, attack the X-49 by firing 4 missiles at it
       when you have a clear shot.  When you have hit it enough times, you
       will be told to stop.
       Grading System (Time-based)
       (I can't use the O.S.L. in this mission, so I have to guess the times
       for each grade.)
       A: <3:00
       B: 3:00-3:59
       C: 4:00+


       33. Geofront Attack
       Targets:
       Support Column (x10) (Cannot lock on)
       Enemies:
       X-49 (Cannot lock on)
       Strategy:
       Machine-gun the 10 support columns in Geofront.  Watch out for the
       X-49, though, and do not try to destroy it.
       Grading System (Time-based)
       A: <4:00
       B: 4:00+
       C: N/A (not confirmed)

       34. Aurora
       Targets:
       X-49 (x1)
       UI-4054 (x1) (appears after destroying X-49)
       Enemies:
       R-103 (x2)
       XFA-36A (x2)
       Su-43 (x2)
       Strategy:
       Here you finally get to finish off the X-49.  After you destroy the
       X-49, a new plane, the UI-4054 Aurora, will appear.  After you hit it
       enough times, you will be told to stop.  Be careful!  It's very good at
       dodging missiles, and if you run out of missiles, you're basically out
       of luck.
       Grading System (Kill-based)
       A: 4-6 enemies
       B: 1-3 enemies
       C: 0 enemies

       35. Electrosphere
       Targets:
       UI-4054 (x1)
       Strategy:
       You must battle against the UI-4054 Aurora over the ruins of Megafloat.
       After hitting it enough times, the battlefield switches to the
       Electrosphere.  Finish the UI-4054 off to complete the mission!
       Grading System (Time-based)
       A: <4:00
       B: 4:00+
       C: N/A (not confirmed)

       36. Geopelia
       Mission Briefing:
       We've received reports of an attack on Port Edwards by 8 unidentified
       fighters.  Our intelligence has ID'd them as Neuwork's powerful new
       unmanned fighter, the XR-900 "Geopelia".  Scramble immediately and
       destroy them while minimizing civilian casualties.
       Targets:
       XR-900 (x8)
       Strategy:
       After taking off from the runway, attack the XR-900s.  When you shoot
       one down, you will watch a cut scene and the next thing you know you
       are controlling the XR-900.  Use it to shoot down the other XR-900s.
       If you can complete this mission in 5 minutes, the XR-900 is yours to
       keep.
       Grading System (Time-based)
       A: <5:00
       B: 5:00+
       C: N/A (Not confirmed)


V. Secrets
All of these secrets came from GameFAQs.com and gamewinners.com, with a few
edits...
       A. Unlock Music Player
       Complete the game on Easy difficulty.
       See section VI for more info on the Music Player.

       B. Unlock Mission Simulator
       Complete the game on Normal difficulty.
       The Mission Simulator allows you to play any mission on any difficulty
       using any plane. (You can use regular and secret planes in regular
       missions, but you must use the RF-12A2 in stratosphere missions and the
       R-352 in space missions)

       C. Unlock Japanese Intro
       Complete the game on Hard difficulty.
       To view: At the "Press Start" screen, press Start while holding down
       the L1 and R1 buttons. (Thanks to gamewinners.com for that tidbit of
       info!)

       D. Unlock Mission 36
       Complete the game on Easy difficulty with all As and Bs.
       Actually, you can use any mission of difficulty, but I say Easy for
       obvious reasons;-)
       This is unlocked using a regular file, NOT on the simulator!

       E. Unlock XR-900 Geopelia
       Beat mission 36 on Easy within 5 minutes.
       See "Unlock Mission 36" for the reason why I said Easy.
       (I say 5 minutes because that's the time you need to beat to get an "A"
       in this mission.)

       Get all As on missions 1 through 36 on Hard.
       Probably the most overpowered weapon in the entire Ace Combat series.
       Simply lock on to a target and fire to destroy it instantly.  Its only
       negative is its slow firing rate, but its positives FAR outweigh it.
       Fire rate: 1
       Not usable in missions 16, 18, 31, 32, or 33
