Special Commemorative Message
After completing every mission on the Ace Difficulty (while obtaining an “”S”" Rank) you’ll receive a special message from the developers during your final debriefing.
Pac-Man ghost in mission 16A
In mission 16A “”Desert Arrow”", the ground is mostly desert mixed with the occasional patches of green, which happen to be in circles. One patch in particular is in the shape of a Pac-Man ghost. To find it, go to grid section 5D (upper left grid is 1A, with numbers going across and letters going down). It’s in the north part of the grid in the middle.
Secrets
Falken Hangar Locations
To locate the Hangars containing the Falken Parts:
(Note that these hangars don’t appear in the map until you get near them)
Mission 12A: POWDER KEG
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
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 16A: DESERT ARROW
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
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.
Mission 27: ACES
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.
Defeating the 8492nd Squadron During “”8492″”
In order to obtain an “”S”" Rank on this mission, you must engage and destroy members of the 8492nd Squadron. At first glance, this may prove difficult as these enemies use ECM almost exclusivley. In order to prevent this, destory the E-767 Jammer Aircraft accompanying the 8492nd. The E-767 is the first enemy aircraft targeted once the 8492nd Squadron appears. Be careful to evade the initial barrage of missiles and destory the jammer. Giving your Wingmen the ATTACK Command while the facing the target is most likely easier than trying to destory the plane yourself.
Tip: Spot the Hrimfaxi
While playing the mission “Demons of Razgriz” you have to fight the Hrimfaxi. When fighting, it will dive back into the water and pop up someplace else. If you climb to an altitude of 7,000 feet or more, and you look down with the right control stick, you can see where Hrimfaxi is hiding in the water. This will give you an advantage when you need to know where it will pop up next.
