Mission 6 sucks

[Professor Toothy]

I was loving the game until I ran into mission 6. It's completely uninspired and it requires far too many points to succeed. I haven't unlocked any bombers or stuff that can deal with that many targets efficiently. It's a real pain, and I've failed it about a dozen times on normal.

Is there a way to bypass or cheese it?

get an attacker aircraft or try to kill a lot of drones

I'm still trying to pass it but I've come closest using the A-10

A-10 with 4AGM makes short work of ground forces

Cleared it with the F16. Its not a hard mission and its the usual AC "Kill limit" missions.

Guessing you can get the "S" scores easier on the second play through with better gear.

Id focus on max damage in a small area and then move off. Theres no need to clear every area.

Check a targets value in the upper left hand corner before engaging, if its less than 250 I dont bother unless its a SAM site.

The enemy F16, RafaelM and drones are close to 400pts each. Keep your eyes peeled for them inbetween gun runs. I used a multirole plane.

Did it easily with an A-10, then played it again with the F-16. Wait till you get to the mission before Stonehenge Defensive.

I managed to beat it on hard without any fancy sp weapon or a10. just good old f-14d
I've recorded a video of my strategie, hope it helps

Any plane with UGBs can make quick work of big groups of enemies at once.

UGB is much better. And the A-10 gets more than any plane. You won't even need to resupply. That will clear you the mission no problem. If you want an S rank though, you either need all speed upgrades for the A-10, or a different, more versatile aircraft.

I didn't even bring ground SP weapons and used the F-14 for fear of drones but still managed to beat it. Don't give up, skeleton!

Get a jet with LAGM (Mission 6 is BS, but more for the 2nd part. You'll want LAGM for the 2nd part) Mainly for first part though, focus on blowing up oil tanks with guns, bombs, missiles, whatever. and then anything else on ground in range.

Edit: Had Mission 6 confused with mission 8. That's the real GFY mission I was thinking of.
Replayed 6, can take chunks out of that score req. by taking out the fighters and bombers on the airfield early on in the mission before they take off.

Should've done it on Easy. It's depends on what you pick for your SP weapon and what difficulty you pick with. Also, the A-10 or F-2 are the only planes to pick but seeing how Mission 6 does involves with drones in later on the mission, I would probably pick F-2 (unless you are really good with A-10 dogfighting).

If you pre ordered, the F-4E I think ha UGBs if you don't want to spend points. I just failed this myself, but also wasn't paying attention to the score.

Well, therein lies your problem while also answering your own question.

If you are bad in this game why you play it in normal??? go easy for first time so you can get money
