C\>> AUTHOR'S NOTE _\
Welcome to my faq for the game Ace Combat 5. I just got the game so I was
only able to create a faq for it just now. Im a fan of the Ace Combat series
but I was only able to get hold of AC4,5 and 0. To get to the point, please
drop me a message if you think there should be added, missing or some
corrections on any details found in this faq.
This document is comprised of mission guides, aircraft and weapon details as
well as some useful tips and miscellaneous info. Spoilers will be avoided as
much as possible.
If the mission seems to hard for you, I suggest taking the tutorial or
restarting the game in easy or very easy mode. I will try to lay down the
details as much as possible but completing the game is entirely up to you.
Let's start the briefing.

| ------------- STORYLINE
You will play as a trainee pilot named Blaze for the OSEA AIR DEFENSE
FORCE (OADF). During a routine training flight, several unknown bogeys
engaged the training squadron which resulted to the death of two
instructors and several trainees. It was peacetime and the incident was
kept secret.
Blaze soon finds himself as an active member of the Wardog squadron and
in the middle of an escalating war. After investigating several recon
activities conducted by the enemy, Yuktobania declares war to OSEA.
Yuktobania and Osea are allied nations that suppressed Belka during the
war 15 years ago. The real reasons why and who incited the war has some
deep roots of revenge, hatred and conspiracy...

Amidst of the eternal waves of time.
From a change of ripple shall the storm rise
Out of abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through dark skies
Fear and death trail the shadow beneath
Until men united wield hallowed saber
In final reckoning, the beast is slain
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man
His own blood and madness soon cover the earth
From depth of despair awaken the Razgriz
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light

Area: No Operational Data- In-flight briefing
Difficulty: **
Objectives: Protect the aircraft carrier KESTREL from enemy attack as it
escapes from port.
**Protect the aircraft carrier KESTREL from enemy attack as it
escapes to open water.
You will need to follow in-flight instructions for this mission. And still,
stuck with the default plane. You will take control of the squadron and will
be able to issue commands.
You will be introduced to Capt. Snow, AKA "Swordsman". He will act
independently though. To start off the mission, you can have your wingmen to
attack or disperse to make kill the targets quickly. OR you can just kill
the targets off yourself. Remember to make all shots count as much as
possible. This is just the first part of the mission. Destroy the targets.
After the Kestrel makes it to the open waters, mission updates.
You still need to protect the Kestrel and make sure to eliminate the enemy
blockade. The Nimrod bombers are somewhat slow but they do turn really sharp
so make sure you get a clean shot before firing. 3 missiles are needed to
down them. Or you can just gun them. The ships are easier targets. If you
know how to "dive sweep" or attacking with guns and/or missiles on low
altitudes it will be effective here. Just do this in case you run out of
missiles.
Once the area is cleared, mission completes.

enemy bombers will appear. They're slow but will take 3 missiles each. If
you're pretty confident about you're flying skills, just get to the bombers'
six and fire a few vulcan rounds. A few hits is enough to kill them. Be
careful to avoid crashing directly to them.
Grimm will try to take off so keep busy clearing the skies for him. You can

Area: Akerson Hill, Federation of Osea
Difficulty: **
Objectives: **Escort the transport plane (C-5) to the north of the map.
**Avoid the AA systems indicated as circles on your radar.
**Protect the trasnport plane (C-5) from enemy attack.
You will need to guide the crippled bird accross the AA systems indicated
as circles in your radar. This is friendly airspace but you should already
know why MOther Goose one is not transmitting a valid signal.
Make sure to fly slow, maintain your default speed and just use your L2, R2
buttons to yaw the plane left and right. Take note of the straight line in
your radar. Make sure you don't touch the edges of the circles.
The best route to take is the western part of the map. It is shorter and less
perilous. After navigating safely from the AA defenses, mission updates and
a group of enemy fighters will appear.
Stay close to the transport plane and engage the enemy. After destroying the
airborne targets, lower down and get rid of the ground targets. Fly around
the C-5 as it descends for emergency landing. Note that some targets will
appear suddenly. Just make sure that Mother Goose One lands safely and mission\
completes.

Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Destroy the target (TGT) before it escapes the map.
!!NOTE: Answering Chopper's question determines the next two stages you will
undergo.
"YES" -- Opens mission 11A and 12A
"NO" -- Opens mission 11B and 12B
You will be pursuing air targets here so planes with SAAM would be
recommended. Don't get confused about the number of the targets since thier
jamming is creating duplicate signals for each plane. Try closing in at
15,000 ft away and your lock-on should have a black dot in the middle. Try
to go for the E-767s first to make the job easier. Make sure to check your
radar often to make sure none of the targets gets accross the map.
Pretty much that's it. Mission completes.

Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Neutralize the poison gas with SP WEAPON.
**Pursue terrorists.
You will be using game specific special weapons, planes (MIRAGE2000) no
missiles and just guns. You just need to rely visually here since the targets
does not appear in the radar. To get a clean shot, slow down towards to the
target and make sure that the dot inside the circle is targetted at the base
of the smoke trail. You will see DESTROYED msg in your hud if successful.
Be careful with the buildings since some targets require you to fly low to
get a clean shot.
Mission will update after clearing the gases and you just need to pursue the
terrorists truck. DO NOT FIRE AT THEM. After a wild chase with the local
police, the terrorists will call in airlift.
Enemy helicopters will come in to pickup the terrorists. Shoot them down using
your guns. THEY DO FIRE MISSILES so try not to approach them head on. After

Time: 0630 HOURS
Area: Duga, Yuktobania
Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Destroy all indicated targets (TGT)
Adjust your angle of attack when firing into a tunnel.
The main targets are located inside the tunnels. And to add annoyance,
the forest is littered with shoulder-launched SAMS and you cant track them
via radar. Clear the area while taking both air and ground targets.
!!NOTE: FALKEN PARTS
Fly NE from the starting point along the river. When you are near, the hangar
will appear on radar. It is somewhere near the bottom right corner of the map.
Look for the part of the river that splits into three. Its located south
of the eastern split. It also has a MIR-2000 guarding it.

Mission 12B: FOUR HORSEMEN
--------------------------
Operation: FORK DANCE
Date: 11072010
Time: 0630 HOURS
Area: Sonza, Yuktobania
Difficulty: ****
Objectives: Synchronize your attack with your wingmen to destroy all 4
radar sites.
**Destroy all indicated targets.
This is one of the frustrating missions you will get yourself into. You
need to time the target's destruction not the firing. Nagase will take care of
the countdown. Timing is very crucial since one second off mark will fail the
mission.
Start off by boosting towards the indicated targets on the map. Your teamates
will have thier own targets so just leave them be. Approach the target with
the same pace as your teamates. By the time you reach 20000 ft away from the
target, nagase should be on the 20 second count. So make sure you reach 10000
on the 10 second mark and when nagase says "NOW!" you should be at least 1000
or less in front of the target. The same applies to the next targets but the
distance and interval gets shorter and shorter.
For the next part, you need to bomb the ground targets as well.
!!NOTE: FALKEN PARTS
The hangar the parts are located is not obviously displayed. To make sure
you won't miss it, destroy all ground targets indicated on your map.

Mission 13: DEMONS OF RAZGRIZ
-----------------------------
Operation: LONG HARPOON
Date: 11142010
Time: 0615 HOURS
Area: Razgriz Straights
Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Maintain altitude below 1000 feet and approach the HRIMFAXI
in order to avoid radar detection.
Destroy the HRIMFAXI
You can skip the refueling if you want to. To start, I suggest taking a
flight path in between the picket subs to avoid early detection. Sometimes
your wingmen will do some crazy stunt formation that will launch them over
1000 feet. This is will trigger the 1 minute timer earlier.
Upon passing the middle picket subs, the timer will start which should be
enough to reach and deal damage to the Hrimfaxi. Once the "DESTROYED" msg
pops out in your hud, pull up and destroy other targets near the area and
wait for the Hrimfaxi to surface.
You will need to deal with the UAVs since they can pose a real hassle. You
may need to also need to take care of the AA and SAMs then the Hrimfaxi's
launchers. Occasionally picket subs appear to cover the main target. Eliminate
them for more points.
And oh, the burst missiles. Bad thing is you don't get support from the
Arkbird. Good thing is that AWACS can notify you when the burst missile is
gonna be launched and its explosion time. Just try to pull up to 5000 ft when
AWACS mentions that you have 10 seconds till explosion. That is more than
enough to get above 5000ft.
Just take out all of Hrimfaxi's AA's, SAMS, and Launchers and what's left
would be a sitting duck. Enjoy the final moments of the great sub.
Mission Completes.

Mission 14: ICE CAGE

Operation: BACKHAUL
Date: 11172010
Time: 1800 HOURS
Area: Glubina, Yuktobania
Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Find and destroy all targets(TGT) located throughout the map
**Protect the SEA GOBLIN helicopter team.
The targets will not show up until you come near them. (If you reviewed
the mission area during the briefing, you should be familiar with the targets'
locations.)When starting out, hit afterburners and fly straight ahead. Take
out the two target planes. Then fly to the center of the map and get rid of 3
more targets. You will be informed that you still need to take down 5 more
planes. Head south of the map to find the last 3 and 2 planes.
Mission updates and new ground targets will appear. Get rid of them and a

Operation: STRAY SHEEP
Date: 11182010
Time: 0530 HOURS

Difficulty: ****
Objectives: Search for Nagase(EDGE) by following the distress becon signal.
**Protect the SEA GOBLIN helicopter teams.
!!NOTE: Answering Chopper's question determines the next two stages you will
undergo.
"YES" -- Opens mission 16A
"NO" -- Opens mission 16B
Take note of the indicator. You will need to use it to locate Nagase. A
good signal shows full lines on the indicator and faster beeps. Most of the
time Nagase is located on the lower part of the map. Try turning left or right
to check the signal strength then hit the afterburners to get to her
immediately. She is not stationary, so you need to turn frequently to get the
best signal. Remember that this part of the mission is timed. So, take out
enemies you encounter as fast as you can then locate her. When you get near
Edge's location, your sensors will be jammed temporarily because of the
nearby E-767. Take if out quickly then resume your search.
When the beeping goes off like crazy, that means she's nearby. Once you get
to her location, she will shout "BLAZE!" and mission updates.
The Sea Goblin choppers will arrive the area and the fools found themselves
sorrounded by enemy planes, gunships and AA installation. There are 2 choppers
here you need to protect so rush to the first one and take out both air and
land targets as fast as you can. If any of the choppers gets shot down,
mission fails. You can order your wingmen to attack to make your job a little
easier.
Just keep the enemy fighters busy and they will leave the helicopters alone.
Keep the area clear of enemies until Nagase is rescued. Mission Completes.

Area: Jilachi Desert
Difficulty: ****
Objectives: Score at least 10000 points within the time limit.
Continue to destroy enemy forces until time runs out.
**Destroy all indicated targets(TGT).
Your main concern here is your ammo loadout. You will definitely need to
make your shots count and strafe easy targets with the vulcan rounds. You need
to move back and forth, providing assistance to both forces that are attacking
simultaneously. Its not hard to score 10000 points as long as you continously
destroy targets. Squadrons of TND-Grs will appear and some B-52 and VULCAN
bombers. These take 4 missiles to down.
Upon reaching the time limit, mission updates, a new wave of enemies needs to
be dealt with. 2 E-767s, refueling plane and some TYPHOON and TORNADO escorts.
Hopefully you should still have a few missiles to deal with them. The larger
planes are tougher and slower so if you want to, you can just get to thier
six and gun them down. Mission completes.
!!NOTE: FALKEN PARTS
The hangar is located on the middle NW part of the map, near the command
center and the airport. It is in the middle of the two bombing target
locations. It is easy to spot so just take care of escorting the bombers.
The hangar appears as a lone dot in the map once you get near it.

Mission 16B: DESERT LIGHTNING

Operation: DESERT BLITZ
Date: 11252010
Time: 0530 HOURS
Area: Jilachi Desert
Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Score at least 10000 points within the time limit.
Continue to destroy enemy forces until time runs out.
**Destroy all indicated targets.
This is one of the easiest missions and a great way to score a lot of
points to level up a plane. Just destroy the targets indicated, switching
forces. After getting rid of the enemies in front of your tank forces, go
back and get rid of the new ACV wave. You can proceed to the oil refineries
and airport to clear the area as well. Bombs will be great in this mission
When time runs out, mission updates and you'll have new targets.
Head to the river and get rid of the Battleships and Howitzers while avoiding
SAM rounds. Its easy since you can just gun the battleships while taking out
the other four ground targets.
!!NOTE: FALKEN PARTS
Hangar is located in the NW, near the top branch of the river. Just approach
the curving path of the river and the hangar should appear as a lone dot in
the map.

Area: November City, Federation of Osea
Difficulty: *****
Objectives: Follow your wingmen closely
**Intercept enemy fighters.
**Protect the airspace until reinforcments arrive.
**Destroy all enemy stealth bombers(F-117)(TGT).
**Protect the stadium from enemy attack.
**Intercept last wave of enemy fighters.
The five stars is just an exaggeration. The difficulty of this mission
depends entirely on your dogfighting skills. On the first part of the mission
just stay in formation since you are conducting an airshow/ patrol in the
area. Follow Edge during the last manuevers.
After a few manuevers, enemy fighters/bombers will appear and you need to deal
with them continously for 5 minutes. Watch the scene and you will need to
fight off the remaining enemies for a few minutes until Allied reinforcements
arrive and mission completes.
!!NOTE:
Save your game since you wont be able to save for the next 3 missions.

Mission 18: FORTRESS

Operation: DOODLEBUG
Date: 12062010
Time: 0600 HOURS
Area: Cruik Fortress, Yuktobania
Difficulty: ****
Objectives: Protect the allied ground forces (FRND) as they storm the enemy
fortress.
I personally recommend bringing bombs here. Although there are a lot of
enemy fighters, you need to soften up enemy ground defenses. You can just
have your wingmen get a good A2A capabilities while you take care of the
bombing runs.
Make sure to take out most targets as possible during each run to maximise
air support. Tanks, SAMS and AAs will roll out occasionally, not to mention
that destroyed bunkers will respawn and you need to target them again.
Your allied ground forces will move in snail's pace so make sure to clear as
many ground defenses as you can. Take out any aerial threats if you want but
concentrate on the ground units.
The guntowers will respawn occasionally so clear them out. Mission completes
after the fortress has been occupied successfully.

Operation: No Operational Data- In-flight briefing
Date: --
Time: --
Area: No Operational Data- In-flight briefing
Difficulty: ***
Objectives: Follow the 8492 squadron (8492)
**Escape to the east.
You should know by now that this is a non-existent squadron in the OSEAN
Airforce. So... approach the squadron and once you get missile warnings
swerve like crazy to avoid the missiles.
Mission updates, an escape line appears on the radar. Hit your afterburners
hard and try to outrun them. If you want a better chance of survival, wit for
the missile warnings, brake hard while turning then accelerating hard. The
missiles should fly past you. Just remember that they will keep on tracking
you and firing missiles at you.
One good strategy I proved effective is to fly low, near the mountains.
Although risky since you're manuevering is very restricted, the mountains
provide you excellent cover. NOt to mention that the enemy planes tend to
stay on a higher altitude. Just make sure you'll be ready to make hard lefts
or rights while keeping pace to reach the escape line.
!!NOTE:
There is a known glitch that even "Mission Accomplished" is displayed already,
enemy AI remains active and will still fire missiles at you. Be careful with
this.

After the scene, mission starts with you and your comrades piloting
training HAWK fighters. You don't have any weapons. Dont fret since you will
not engage any enemies. You will just need to extend your piloting skills to
the limit here.
Follow Pops but not too close since he will brake and make hard turns. You
will be encircling the area a few times and your radar is jammed because of
the magnetic wave produced by the volcanic island.
You need to transverse two tunnels. Make sure you're running around 200-250
mph to be safe. After a few runs, the enemy squadron will stop pursuing you.
A scene will take place and mission completes.

You will provide close air support to the helicopter team as they storm
the castle and rescue the president. Stay close to the castle and take out
any targets that appear. Tanks still take two shots, sams, AAs, gunboats
all can be taken down by one missile. Some high end planes also appear so
make sure to get rid of them as well.
After a while, you will be requested to blow a portion of the castle wall.
Fly in, get a lockon, fire two missiles and shoot it with your guns. Clear
out any targets that may interfere.

Operation: SILVER EYE
Date: 12102010
Time: 1830 HOURS
Area: Mt. Schirm, Nord Belka
Difficulty: **
Objectives: Avoid the enemy radar sites indicated by the circles on your
radar and photograph the targets(TGT)
**Get the 3 targets (TGT) in frame at once and photograph them.
**Get the 2 targets (TGT) in frame at once and photograph them.
**Outrun the enemy and exit the combat area.
You will conducting a recon to an enemy installation and will only be armed
with 10 recon camera shots. Better not waste them.
You will be flying alone in this mission. Similar to Mission 8, you need to
weave through the circles. Remember that their coverage gets smaller when you
fly in low altitudes. It is recommended to follow the river course, fly slowly
and just "yaw" (that's L2, R2 buttons) through the obstacles.
Check your map and the only way should be obvious. Follow the trail until you
reach the target area. Here you will have some breathing space so, take your
aim and make sure that all 3 targets are inside the square or frame. If done
correctly, Pops will give some comments.
This time you need to take pictures of the two planes together. Since they
are bound to take off. Make sure you capture both of them in one frame and
you will notified that the enemies had detected you (obviously)
You don't need to worry about the radar right now. Just hit the afterburners
hard and exit the area.

Difficulty: **
Objectives: Watch for enemy forces and head to the mine.
**Destroy the rockbed to seal the mine's entrance.
This mission is straight forward. Although you may need to take out a few
targets to make your job easier and score some points. The main target is
tough and may take several bombs, missiles, etc to bring it down.
You can take time to eliminate all targets since more targets respawn after
you destroy them. I was able to score 30000+ points with more than 1 minute
remaining. Just make sure that the rockbed is already red since it takes
several missile hits to destroy it.

Operation: RIVERBED
Date: 12162010
Time: 0847 HOURS
Area: Payauline Ravine, Yuktobania
Difficulty: *****
Objectives: Destroy all indicated targets(TGT)
This is one mission I hated the most. You need to fly through the whole
place while taking out targets. And you should not go over above the rim of
the canyon.
You just need one missile to bring down the enemy copters and gunboats. Ignore
the TYPHOONs for the meantime since they have the skies. After destroying all
the targets, and enemy squadron appears.
This is the part where I hated it the most. These guys fly like crazy, in
pairs. One good idea is to fly inside the center of the canyon and wait for
them there. Watch out for the rock cliffs when you make your turns.
These guys are good evaders. An effective way I discovered is let a pair pass
and follow them with thier manuevers. Maintain a good lock and when they are
about to end thier swerve, fire the missiles. This requires timing, distance
and good plane control. The missiles should connect if done correctly.
Hopefully, after having a hellish time, you should complete the mission.

Objectives: Destroy the ARKBIRD before it escapes outside the map.
This is an average mission. All you need to do is to attack the large bird
before it escapes. Sounds simple but it is not.
You need to use XMAAs or XLAAs here. Concentrate on destroying the engines
and lasers of the Arkbird. Don't try to follow too close or you'll end up
smashing yourself. Just leave the UAVs to your wingmen.
After destroying the engines and laser, auxiliary engines will fire up and you
need to destroy it. Just struggle on keeping your position and destroying the
targets. Watch the scene that follows and you'll live to see another day.

There would be ground targets here but you will confront the 8492nd
Squadron later so hop on planes with good A2A stats. Bartlett along with some
very important Yuke officials are storming the airport to escape. Help them
by clearing the checkpoints and other threats in both ground and air.
You will be asked twice wether you will take the shortcuts or not. So choose
taking the shortcuts to make it in time. Upon reaching the airport, clear the
enemies in both air and land. As they ascend, the enemy squadron flies in...
8492nd. You just need to eliminate them to complete the mission. They are not
that hard, since you got your own wingmen.

Area: Sudentor, North Osea (South Belka)
Difficulty: ****
Objectives: Destroy all enemy position (TGT) and protect the allied ground
forces until they capture the control facility entrance.
**Destroy the system core (TGT) and escape.
When you start your mission, dont shoot the incoming aircraft. They will
side with you along with other squadrons both Osean and Yuktobanian. Head
straight, lower your altitude and destroy the enemy tanks. Lower your speed,
keep heading straight and you should find a hangar. Destroy it for the final
Falken parts. Turn right and get rid of the enemy tanks in the bridge.
Make your turn and destroy gun towers. Be warned that they do fire SAMs along
with thier normal gatling rounds. You may also want to hunt down some enemy
fighters, including Hamilton. He's a good pilot but he shouldn't pose much
of a threat.
After Allied positions move in, enemy pillboxes will start to appear. Get rid
of them. After the pillboxes are neutralized, you will be notified that the
tunnel entrance is now open.
Alright, take a deep breath and fly to the tunnel. That damn Hamilton will be
following you, and will release some missiles on you. Do not attempt to do
some backturns here...the place is too tight to do some missile evasion.
If you're lucky, none of his missiles will hit you. Just navigate the tunnel
until you reach the core. A couple of missiles with gatling rounds should
destroy it quickly.
After that you need to exit the tunnel by continuing deeper. This path will be
more perilous than before so keep your eyes peeled. Enemy planes will be
approaching you so fire at them head on. There are also some cranes and other
obstacles here so watch out.
Hurry up fly under the shutting doors. Take note also of the metal archways
ahead. THEY CAN'T BE FLOWN OVER. You need to fly under them or through them.
You don't want to repeat the whole mission again.
Make your way through the closing doors and when you reach the hatch to
freedom, you can breath normally now.
!!NOTE: FALKEN PARTS
Head straight, lower your altitude and destroy the enemy tanks. Lower your
speed, keep heading straight and you should find a hangar. Destroy it for the
final Falken parts.

Mission 27+: THE UNSUNG WAR

Operation: ARCADIA
Date: 2010/12/31
Time: 0500 HOURS
Area: Oured, Federation of Osea
Difficulty: ****
Objectives: Get to the SOLG's descent point as soon as possible.
**Destroy the SOLG before it hits the capital.
Alright, the day of reckoning. Hit the afterburners hard and rush to the
target area. On your way, a combined GRABARC and OFNIR squadrons will
intercept you. I personally didn't have problems taking them all down. (If you
played AC0 before this one you should know why.)
If you have XLAAs or XMAAs, unload them and have the bastards eat shrapnel.
Upon destroying the initial wave, (I got four in one XMAA launch), hit the
brakes, turn around and engage the rest of them. You should only spend 2 mins
on them MAX. Killing all of them in less than 2 mins is better.
Upon reaching the descent point, the SOLG will be a huge piece of junk metal
ready to hit the city below. There are targets and you need to time your
firing so that the missiles will hit the target parts and not the rotating
panels. Also avoid getting hit by the debris being chunked off while you
destroy the target. Have your wingmen on ATK command.
This will take a while, depending on the direct hits you and your wingmen
inflicted. Mission completes amd a scene will follow after destroying the
SOLG.

|C>>SPECIAL WEAPONS _\
||>>SAAM (Semi-active Air-to-Air Missile)
-------------------------------------
The target must remain on the targetting circle as the missile
tracks its target. It has long range and its a good way to snipe a
target on its 5-7 oclock angles. Has firepower equivalent to 2-3
missiles.
Equipped with: F-20A, Mirage-2000, F-14A, Mig-31, F-15C, Su-27, Su-47
||>>QAAM (Quick-manuever Air-to-Air Missile)
-------------------------------------
If you played AC4, you'll know how ungodly these SP weapons are. They
will keep on tracking a target and will only give up when it runs out
of fuel. Its also a good way to distract a target while taking your
oppurtunity to take him down. Firepower equivalent to 2 missiles.
Equipped with: X-29A, Mig-21-93, Su-37, YF-223A, S-32, Hawk
||>>XLAA (Advanced Long Range Air-to-Air Missile)
-------------------------------------
This has a multilock function that can lock in 4 targets and best
used when rushing the enemies in thier 12 or 6. Firepower equivalent
to 2 missiles. It has exceptional range that can be used to bring
down multiple targets adistance.
Equipped with: F-14D, Mig-31M, Su-35, Typhoon, X-02
||>>XMAA (Advanced Medium-range Air-to-Air Missile)
-------------------------------------
This has a multilock function that can lock in 4 targets and best
used when rushing the enemies in thier 12 or 6. Firepower equivalent
to 2 missiles. It has medium range but is longer than the conventional
missiles.
Equipped with: F-4X, F-16C B60, F/A-18E, TND-F3, F-15S/MTD, F/A-22A
||>>NPB (Napalm Bomb)
-------------------------------------
This comes with a fair amount of ammo but that doesnt make up this
Sp weapon's lack of decent damage and blast radius. One of the most
useless SP weapons in the game.
Equipped with: F-4e
||>>RCL (Rocket Launcher)
-------------------------------------
Generally weak, this SP wpn can justify its existence when targeting
stationary targets. When activated, it launches multiple volleys of
small rockets. Effective when attacking grouped enemies.
Equipped with: Mig-21 BIS, JAS-39C
||>>UGB (Unguided Bomb, Small)
-------------------------------------
This is a free fall bomb that has a larger blast radius and damage
than the NPB but still a bit miss when engaging a group of enemies.
You can deploy two of these bombs at the same time, so it is more
effective when engaging larger, tougher, stationary targets.
Equipped with: F-5E, F-16C, Mig-29A
||>>UGBL (Unguided Bomb, Large)
-------------------------------------
One of the most effective bombs in the game, the UGBL has great
blast radius and damage. It can eliminate grouped targets in one
drop. Because of this destructive potential, this SP wpn's ammo is
limited so use with discretion.
Equipped with: A-6E, Mirage-2000D, MIG-1.44
||>>GPB (Guided Penetrating Bomb)
-------------------------------------
This bomb is designed to penetrate heavily fortified enemy positions
such as bunkers and pillboxes. Also known as "Bunker Busters", these
bombs has a good blast radius and damage. You won't be using the
planes carrying these SP wpns that often.
Equipped with: F-14b, F-117a
||>>FAEB (Fuel Air Explosive Bomb)
-------------------------------------
Unfortunately, the effectiveness and power of this sp weapon is
drastically reduced after its AC4 days. The area of damage is wide
but the damage will depend on the dropping and area of the blast
radius. This makes the bomb unpredictable. Just use a UGBL instead.
Equipped with: YA-10B
||>>XAGM: (Advanced Air-to-Ground Missile)
-------------------------------------
This SP wpn has good trajectory, locks on to multiple targets but has
very limited ammo. You may want to save this for the main targets.
Targets are destroyed with missile like prejectiles so there are no
blast radius with each impact.
Equipped with: F-16XL, A-10, Su-32
||>>LASM (Long range Air-to-Surface Missile)
-------------------------------------
The main use of this Sp weapon is to take out enemy naval ships from
great distances. Although it doesnt have any one shot kill potential
on ships, its enough to soften them up for a single missile shot or
a few machine gun rounds.
Equipped with: F-2A, F/A-18C, Rafale M, F-35C
||>>LAGM (Long range Air-to-Ground Missile)
-------------------------------------
Similar to LASM in a way, but has some small blast radius that can
take out nearby enemy installments around the locked on target.
Equipped with: F-4G
||>>BDSP (Bomblet Dispenser)
-------------------------------------
Very effective in targets lined up or just grouped enemies, this
dispenser launches small bombletts to the targetted area. The bomblets
are not that strong but with thier number, its sure to hit the target.
Equipped with: TND-GR1
||>>SFFS (Self-Forging Fragment Submunitions)
-------------------------------------
Widely known as "Cluster Bombs", SFFS works almost the same way as
the the bomblet dispensers but with less damage.
Equipped with: F-15E
||>>ECMP (Electronic Countermeasures Pod)_
-------------------------------------
This SP wpn, jams the enemy radar for a few seconds, negating thier
lock-on and tracking abilities for a brief moment. Pretty much
useless since you can evade the missiles, yourself. It may come
handy in tight dogfights where your missile warning system keeps on
flaring like crazy.
Equipped with: EA-6B, EA-18G, TND-ECR
||>>SOD (Stand-Off Dispenser)
-------------------------------------
Another dispenser but the bomblets are released when the carrying
projectile travels through the targets. Somehow unpredictable because
the bomblets' are scattered in a wide area. Best used in groups of
enemies.
Equipped with: TND-GR 4, Rafale B, FB-22
||>>TLS (Tactical Laser System)
-------------------------------------
The TLS is also used as a self-defense mechanism of the Arkbird.
Equipped as a SP wpn on the Falken, this laser can through anything,
no matter how hard and thick the armor is. The drawback when using
this weapon is that you need to control the direction of the laser
by steering the plane. One good way of maximizing its effectiveness
is to sweep it on a group of targets.
The laser can reach distances up to 10000 ft.
