SPOILERS! - Don't look if you want to work them out for yourselves!
Mission 7
Avoid AA gunfire either by flying very high or flying very low. Some guns can
only fire through an 180 degree radius, so in theory it's possible to sneak up
behind them. Learn to bomb accurately. The general rule is - the higher you are,
the earlier you have to release the bomb. Use the UP arrow key to view your plane
from above and see how your bombs are falling.
Mission 15
A difficult one, this! A tip - gun turrets can't shoot you if you stay below their
angle of elevation (ie. about 10 feet above the sea!). Also, you don't actually have
to knock out all the guns to save your comrades, only the ones closest to them
(though you'll have to come back for the others to complete the mission). Once
you've destroyed the guns, you'll still have to escort the friendly planes off
the map - there's usually at least one enemy waiting for them before they escape.
Phew!
Mission 16
Here's one possible way to do it:
- Destroy the three fighters which you meet at the start.
- Fly inland to the west, destroy the plane on the ground.
- Follow the valley further inland to the north-west, destroying the plane which attacks you.
- Bomb the plane you see on the ground here.
- Fly northeast, back over the mountains.
- Avoid the AA fire and destroy the first plane taking off from the road.
- Two planes will attack at this point, which you should shoot down.
- Follow the road, avoiding AA fire and destroying the last two planes on the ground (there's one before the bridge and one after) to complete the mission.
Some general tips -
- Learn to bomb accurately! (It helps to practice using the UP cursor key to see where your bombs are falling.) The enemy planes on the ground will start to take off when they see you coming, so you have to aim in front of them on the runway.
- If you hang around too long the enemy planes will bomb the friendly villages, so don't waste time! If a village is bombed, even by accident, you'll see the message 'Mission Critical Units Destroyed', and you'll have to start the level again.
Mission 19
You can't actually kill the Baron on this level - he's just there to taunt you.
You may need to hit the oil wells several times before they register as
'destroyed' and you can complete the level.
Mission 24
This is basically a test of all the dogfighting skills you've learnt in the
course of the game, so there's no one strategy to adopt - just shoot them all
down before they get you. Don't worry about losing your wingman - unfortunately
there's nothing you can do to save him.
Mission 25
You're on your own with this one!
