II. Reversion history
---------------------
Version 0.1 6/2/01, 5:37P.M CT - I just started with the FAQ, controls,
and
everything above it added. I hope to Finnish this by 6/13. It should be
fully
completed before the end of summer.
Version 0.2 6/4/01 11:29P.M. CT - Finished Do's and Dont's, Vs player &
computer strategies. I'm gonna do jets and stats next, followed by the
walkthrough. Then next few days after that, the game shark + conclusion
should be up. I hope it won't take more then 1-2 weeks.
Version 0.3 6/20/01 2:31A.M. CT - As promised, The jets and stats. I
might be
missing one or two, but I'll get those up soon. And a new idea came to
my
head! (Sees everyone run to take cover)... OK, I'll add the names and
jets
the wingmen fly.
Version 1.0 7/6/01 1:40A.M. CT - I ran though spell check, added all the
jets, got the closing up... I'm now sending it in.
Version 2.0 7/10/01 2:09A.M. CT - I just added gamshark codes, and
wingmen.
Also I forgot to put my E-mail on here. Opss. I better get that up...
Now I
just got to get the Walkthough. Great...
Version 3.0 10/18/01 2:17 P.M. CT - Its been about three months... And I
hardly even touched the game! I got RPG Maker about three months ago,
and its very addictive. Well, I got some of the walkthough done, about 3
or 4 levels, but I promise, for those few people that even read this,
(If any..:) I WILL get more done VERY soon.

III. FAQ
--------
Q. What is the best jet?
A. Their is no real best jet. You need different stats for different
missions.
Look at the jets + stats. But my favorite jet, who has all above average
stats, it the SU-27. Or the A-10. That has maxed everything but
power(speed).
Q. Why can I never hit the enemy?
A. A few things in the Vs computer strategies. If an enemy is coming
from your
right or left while your heading strait, you have no chance in hitting
him.
You need to make a quick "L" or "U" turn to be behind him, where you
attack.
And NEVER fire missiles without being locked on target. And only fire
bullets
when the little aimer shows. (It should show up at about 300 feet) If
you
can't lock on target, exelerate with the R1 button to catch up with the
guy.
Look at the section for me.
Q. How do I get a lot of money at the end of a mission?
A. After a mission, you get some money for sure, just not a lot. To make
more, Kill everything you see. You get extra money for the more guys you
kill. Don't just go after the main, mission enemy.
Q. What do you mean by mission enemies?
A. When the briefing is given before every mission, you will see him
point
out the jet location, and what kind they are. Above the name of the jet,
it
will say "target." Those are the jets you need to kill to complete the
mission. Also a red dot will show up on the large map. (Square button.)
Q. Why do I keep running out of missiles?
A. You fire them to much. You have 65 missiles, and at the most, It will
take
4 shots to kill a jet, and some take only 1. Again, don't fire unless
you are
locked on target.
Q. Should I lanch with support?
A. Rarely do you ever need to. In fact, I never did and saved much more
money. They go very slow, and I never seen one kill anything. The are
only
good for taking a jet off you and chase him, but that doesn't happen a
lot.
Q. What is Power, Defense, ext?
A. POWER is your speed. Exceleration really. All jets can only go up to
1450
MPH. That just makes it get to that speed much faster. STABILITY is how
fast you can turn left and right, MOBILITY is how fast you can turn up
and
down, OFFENCE is the strength of your jet's missiles, and DEFENCE is
your
jets armor.
Q. Are these jets real?
A. Yes. They are all real.
Q. Can you tell me when I get (Jet name)?
A. Look in the Walkthrough. After each level, I'll say what you get from
it.(coming soon)

=======================
-------------------
VI. Do's and Dont's
-------------------
Do...
- Dive when "Warning" sign is on for being locked on target by someone
else.
- Lock on target before firing anything. <- Always do that or you wont
hit the target.
- Fire two missiles when locked on target. You can fire up to two at a
time.
- Use bullets whenever possible Don't only use missles.
- Kill non-mission targeted enemy if your strong enough to. Mission
targeted
enemies are guys you NEED to kill to complete the mission. Others are
just
extras for getting more money and making it harder.
- Exelerate (R1) to catch up with enemies and save fuel.
- Use (square) button to show the large map to help you navigate and see
the
mission targeted enemies.
Do NOT...
- Ignore any warning signs. (damage, low fuel, low altitude)
- Fire without locking on target
- Always fly with support
- Buy every jet.
- Go below 250 MPH (or KPH. Its the same thing)
- Go above 7500 ft.
- Go below 500 ft.
- Always fly at full speed.
- Ignore mobility/stability stats.
- Do all missions in order.
===========================
---------------
VII. Strategies
---------------
This can be used against Computer and player
- Fire two missile when locked on target.
- Use bullets when possible
- When you going face to face with another jet, exelerate, hold down X
and
once you lock on target, fire two missiles. It will kill them every
time.
- When an enemy comes in from the side while you are going strait, you
have
no chance of hitting him. Slow down really low, and turn intil yout
facing
behind him. Then just exelerate and shoot to kill him.
- If your low on life, stay about 50-100 ft below the enemy. Go slow and
lock
on target. Fire, and he shouldn't be able to fire back.
- When above 3000 FT at the least, to make a quick turn around, go into
a
nose dive to about 45 degrees down, then spin, and pull up. You can save
good
seconds on a turn to get up to a jet. IT TAKES TIME TO LEARN. Don't tell
me
that its impossible.
(If you have any, PLEASE send them to me.)

VIII. Wingmen
-------------
Ok... Just so I don't have to review all the wingmen personaly, I would
lke
to say I don't think any wingmen are good. They might take down one jet
if
your lucky, but they go VERY slow, HARDLY shoot, and I think are only
good
for the last level. But because you might find them useful, and I want
the
FAQ to be bigger then 10KB, and because I have no other thing to do on a
Monday. And now, the complete list of the wingmen (in order of
apperence)
Name: William
Jet: F-4
Level: Rookie
Wages: 1000000
Backround:
"This is an evaluation of your operational abilities. Intelligence
reports an enemy supply unit moving to resupplie thier farword
positions. You should have adventage of suprize. We should have
localized air supperiority for the duration of the operation. Target:
CS-A Supply unit. Good luck!"
F-4
Reward > 10,000
Type > Non-mission
Level > Rookie
Prefered jet to use: F-14
First exellerate and lock onto either guy. They are E-767. Three missles
kill them. Turn to lock on to the other enemy. They rarly fire back, so
don't worry to much. Its optional to kill the MIG-31 on the left, but I
would. Three missles again kill him. Head to the next place where all
the enemies are. Two C-5 will be waiting. Again, three missles kill him.
Now your just about done. Go to the right and you'll see an F-4. Two
missles this time to kill it. Go to the lefts for to more C-5, kill,
done!
After the mission, you get the F-117, NOT WORTH BUYING! Get the F/A 18
Most money you can get from that mission: 5,440,000
Mission 2
Fighter Superiority
Reward 1,000,000
"Immediate mobilization required. Our base's position was compromised in
the last enemy push. Reports indicate immnedt arrival of bombers
scrambles and ace thoses bogies! Target: B-52 Bomber force. Good luck!"
C-5
Reward > 70,000
Type > Mission
Level > Unknown
AV-8
Reward > 30,000
Type > Non-mission
Level > Rookie
Use: F/A-18
You start by heading strait for another jet. (TNDF-2) Do 1 of 2 things.
I prefer going about 8,000 Ft into the air, fly over all the jets, and
hit the AV-8's from the back. It only takes about one minute longer,
and its safer. Move on to the C-5's ( AV-8 take 2 missles, C-5 takes 3
missles) Don't go to fast or hasatite because you might wind up by a few
other jets too. For the B-52's, it wil take 3 missles. Leave one B-52
alive if you want to get extra money, this way you can go after the
TNDF-2, which takes 3 missles to kill.
You will get: TNDF-2. Buy it right away.
The most money you can get is 1,490,000
