Tips and trick for mission 11.

[Kun]

Hi all, I am a newbie and this is my first ace combat game, I am having difficulty to pass the first phase of the mission 11 when you need to destroy at least 25000 points. I always get a hard time target the ''core'' of the enemy base because I keep switching to other targets like SAM and other stuff, my loadout is Rafale M with LACM. Any tips and advice are very appreciated.

su-57 and pulse lasers. First go to the ships or platform with aircraft and from distance just destroy them with lasers and missles every so often on ships (note for aircraft carrier you can actualy kill it with lasers without destroying any of its aa just shoots its hull). For platform aproach from north and just shoot cores once you get closer and slow down enough so they get destroyed as you fly past. After that it is just mop up. (english still bad)

OP, what you need is the Super Hornet, equip EML and snipe the cores with it.
Don't worry about the AA guns or anything on the platforms, when you destroy the cores, those are also destroyed and added to your score.
LAGM is good against the fleet but you have to fire them as far away as you can, otherwise they will get shot out of the sky.

well, I'm not a good player and there was a time where I was having a lot of trouble on these type of missions, but after using PSLS I could reach rank S on all of them.
use either F-15C, MiG-31B or Su-57

to be fair i did farm a lot in multiplayer and got tons of planes with mates when it came out. But yea my bad should have asked what planes he has currently unlocked as mig is GREAT as well but use mgp with it and just do quick bursts of mg fire. Also tip for down the line Mig is the best plane for machine gun only run as mgp count as plane base gun

[Tupiks]

oh yea im talking about mig 21

Well then you already know the problem, don't you? Watch some videos of people doing that mission.

Personally what I would suggest is, if AWACS hasnt uploaded the target data then just use MG to knock it out, but usually if you get close enough you should be able to target the core without too much trouble. But if you still can't do it go Su-57 and PSLS, F/A-18F EML, X02 EML, Mig-21 MGP, Mig-31 PSLS. Those are straight firing weapons that if you have ok accuracy you can get the job done.

Very bad advice.

Stick to what you are doing OP. Target the cores and ships with the PLSL. As for enemy Aircraft you want to focus the AV-8Bs because they fire their missiles really fast and can't dodge very well too.

Here's a good video of how its done:

in end honestly EML is bad it got nerfed BADLY and anything will do just hit cores they do take little extra time to take out but you get points for everything that goes down with it (so aa/planes/orther stuff) and fly the plane you like most. I did it in starfighter with grenade launcher pods and S ranked it (It was hard tho)

[Kun]

Thank you, everyone, I finally did it after a couple of tries. I had to spend all my points in the Mig-31B and PLSL but It's was worth it.

[Aeronautics]

No problem! I'm glad I could help

In case OP loves Rafale as I assume and wants to retry with it:

Not the best model play (even I stalled several times since I rarely use Rafale and not sure about its anti-stall capability, also I missed one core for making "hamburger"), but I'd like to say it is more than possible to destroy all plats and fleets. Besides dealing with fleets is an easy job with LACM. Good luck, OP.

~170 000 points (on highest difficulty) (60 000+ score) per game: F-2 with LASM and ROCKETS plus some parts: higher full speed, upgraded air brakes

DO NOT BOTHER ABOUT DESTROYING PLANES FIRST, GO FOR PLATFORMS AND SEA TARGETS

1. After spawning with LASMs go to the right, destroy aircraft carrier strike group (~6-8 LASMs left)
2. Head north towards the open sea platform
3. Focus on destroyng ships not, the platform itself NOTE: when attacking ships dont bother attacking sams and other accessory targets, but the ship itself, for example: when attacking a cruisser it takes 1 LASM if you hit CRUISSER and 2 if you hit other targets (SAMs) on it
4. After taking care of ships near the platform head south towards the SPAWN to change weapons (~3 LASMs left)
5. While heading south you will come across 2 groups of ships: 1st of 3 1 cruisser 2 frigates and 2nd 2 frigates. Before attacking them you should have ~2 or 3 LASMs left. There is also a group of 3 helis en route you can take 2 of them out easilly
6. Go change weapons for ROCKETS
7. After changing head for the Fiord platform first (~ 10 rockets left), destroy it and later head for the open sea platform, do the same. Note that there are ships under certain parts of fiord platform so destroying them wit rockets make ships under them crushed as well
8. Head back to SPAWN change weapons for LASMs
9. Head west(? idk to the right side after spawning) and destroy ships as they appear
10. Head toward where the open sea platform was and destroy ships there
11. Fly toward in-land platform posiotion and destroy remianing ships there.
12 After that youre free to go after the planes until the time runs out

Thank you for the video, that was entertaining to watch. I knew that It's could be done with Rafale but I only got like 23000/25000 when the time run out, haha.

Thank you for the detailed guide, maybe I will try it after I finish the campaign.

Yeah, use the crappy EML with it's low fire rate that makes it useless and wastes mission time.
