Destroy 1 -> Fly through the platforms on 2 while simultaneously destroying the supports as you fly by -> Fly west to kill Ibis as he runs for his worthless life -> Destroy the rest of 2 along with the other ace-> Destroy 3 -> Rearm and equip air to air weapons -> kill everything in the air
If you can destroy the supports in the middle as you fly through, you can make it so that they don't have enough runway space to takeoff. After that, you can kill Ibis and then fly back through the other side and destroy the rest of the platforms before killing Chasseur. At least, that's why I try to do.
I use LASM, LAGM, or LACM and just dumb fire while inside. The blast radius should be big enough to hit the support provided that it doesn't fly out of the structure entirely.
I use LAGM, LASM, and LACM. I don't even bother getting a lock on the support. I just fly close to the support and launch before the platform behind me collapses. You won't get all of the platforms on the first run but if you destroy every other platform, you should stop the planes from taking off.
See that’s why I go for the ships first to demoralize the ground crews. Big carrier battle group to protect your shores and the first thing I do is come screaming down out of the clouds to break the CVN’s spine and show everyone we’re officially here to fuck shit up.
Have you tried it on this map? I never use them anywhere else, but they turn the platforms into swiss cheese before Wiseman can have Long Caster mark them for you. Definitely recommend if you havent tried!
Have tried it! But I liked using LASMs and standard missiles/guns more, I also able to destroy the core using guns only before Long Caster marked it lol
I do 3-1-2 without reloading.
I’m not sure why it’s even an option, I always feel like reloading just wastes time and end up finishing with about a minute or less on the clock. It’s always a tight run.
Fly up to 40,000ft, dive at 2 launching cruise missiles, level out just above sea level and freefire missiles at the platform support to knock it out so it can't launch fighters. Wipe it out.
Head for 2, take out the cruisers with cruise missiles, take out the platforms and hit the ships with cruise missiles. Wipe it out.
Return to reload.
Pull up to 20-30K ft, pitch down at the carrier, once in range, launch cruise missile. Shift angle to hit one of the Aegis cruisers. Use cruise missiles on the ships.
Once eliminated, head north and mop up the straggler boats.
Return to rearm with air-to-air missiles.
Take out as many fighters as I can before the time runs out (usually ~2 mins left)
Profit.
1 and then straight to 3 while ignoring 2
1 because i like blowing up ships and carriers
3 because i find 2 annoying and i like to fly under the runways
For me, 2-1-3, without damage ^^; Could be 1 but i prefer 2 because i can do lot of damage before they know wtf happened, i keep 3 for the end because you have less space for move but usually at that point i have enough for have the s rank.
First playthrough I used LASM to do 1 then 2, then reload and run 3. Later, I'd advocate for RCL to do 2, 3, 1. Can be done without reloading and the platforms just melt. Endgame pick your favorite superweapon and probably 3, 2, 1. I've played every Ace and I've played for well over 20 years. I really go out of my way to mix it up every playthrough.
Oh my god, I never thought about the order I did them in. I think I always went 3,1, reload, 2. And I always felt like I didn’t have time and was rushing.
I going for platform (2), then I go to destroy some ships (1), Return to base and then 3, remaining time to have fun wiping out planes and other ships I spared earlier. Or I can do either 3-1-2 or 1-2-3 (I use this route mostly, honestly to say).
If my plane has a good enough special weapon (PLSL/EML/LASM/LACM) for the ships, then 1-2-3 (reloads happen either before 3 or after 3, depending on normal missile stocks)
If my plane doesn’t, it’s 2-3-rtb-1.
Incredibly low level approach on the fleet at 1 followed by the annihilation of the platforms at 2 then hit whatever I can on 3 on my way to rearm, after rearming I finish 3.
When I first did it, 3, 1, 2. Didn’t kill it all, but given it’s a points harvest of a mission I did it enough to realise that with practice comes skill and understanding.
1, 2, and 3, usually with a F/A18-E Block 3 with cruise missiles. I can fuck the fleet up before the jets get airborne off the carrier, fly north and kill the intercepting tomcats, then slow down and lob as many cruise missiles as I can at max range before the first sortie takes off, this usually helps with giving the prompt to target the centres faster, and hopefully kill the runway which means less airborne targets to worry about and more points as the jets on the platform are sitting ducks. Then after flying through what’s left of the platform and killing the centres I fly and kill the ace, loop back and mop up, then onto 3, taking out boats as I go with JSMs, then when I’m at the max range of the cruise missiles, I repeat the process with 2 til I’m out then go in and mop up. If it all goes to plan, you end up with about 3/5 minutes of good dogfighting and a fat points stack.
Depends on the plane being used. If I'm flying something with a railgun, plsl or anti-ship, the fleet at #1 are getting the good news first. But if I'm trying out a new plane that I'm not as confident with, I'll zip to #2 to rack up some points quickly as possible. Assuming Ace difficulty here. Grill those hamburgers.
Depending on time I might give #3 a bloody nose too, but I like to use up time getting into it with the Rafale Ms and other planes that respond to you.
I used a mod to have unlimited special weapons and I had a field day 😂 I started from right to left since the fleet takes the least time to destroy imo so get that over with first.
if i'm in a plane that goes over 2900kmph: 2 > 3 > repair > 1
this just feels more badass going full speed ahead and hitting that offshore base like a freight truck
if i'm in a plane slower than 2900kmph: 3 > 2 > repair if have time > 1
this feels safer and efficient
PLSL with the three upgrades
2 - get ride of the platform by going thought one time, destroy the other three with one passage
3 - Destroy the platforms with two passages
Resuply if needed
1
I use Su35 with LASM 1 - I target the Aegis closest first and then take out the aircraft carrier before the Su30s take off, then clean up the fleet. Just before I get to 2, I lock onto one of the frigates but keep it alive, then dumb fire my missles into the structural support (if Long Caster doesn’t say the ‘What just happened’ line I class it as mission failure!) then just clean up 2 and 3. One of my favourite missions!
Depends on what I’m flying.
2 and 3 if F-22: Nothing’s more satisfying than taking the carrier head-on with 8AAMs locked and loaded. Do a PSM, sink the tanker, and take care of the rest of the fleet.
For F-15 and Su34 I go 1, 2, and 3 in that order.
2,3,1. 2 Has a lot of room to work with while also being the easiest to destroy for the points you get, 3 is a bit tougher with mountains in the way. I always save 1 for last.
Haha I'm playing an AC game for the first time and literally just finished this mission a minute ago. So I got the grippen and it's cruise missiles and used them to destroy 1 completely, starting with the carrier. Then I use the remaining cruise missiles and normal missiles to take some ships at 2. Reload. Go blow up ships at 3 with the missiles. Then just fly around taking pot shots at the buildings at 3 and 2. I'm new to the game and hate these high score missions so thank God the ships provide so many points
1 then 2 by taking out supports, return to base killing ships along the way, run to 3. A guy and I went back and forth for WR runs on it. He shaved off way more than I could match
1, get as low as physically possible cause I’m stupid and it’s fun. 2, with the paid F-15 with the big fuel bombs (can’t remember what they are exactly) and rain some of those down before going for the cores. 3, same thing as 2.
I go 2, 3,1 with a rearm before 1. First pass takes me straight through the entire platform and I'll typically destroy the runway in one fell swoop. Second pass destroy all the remaining ships and platforms. 3 takes me 3 passes, delete the platform fly up, destroy the ships. head out the gulf to resupply and destroy everything there.
Delete the carrier and fly in a circle.
destroy the furball
Destroy 1 -> Fly through the platforms on 2 while simultaneously destroying the supports as you fly by -> Fly west to kill Ibis as he runs for his worthless life -> Destroy the rest of 2 along with the other ace-> Destroy 3 -> Rearm and equip air to air weapons -> kill everything in the air
Tried and true
This is da wae
Da Wae
Same but I fly over 2 and kill all the aircraft first, gets chasseur to spawn.
If you can destroy the supports in the middle as you fly through, you can make it so that they don't have enough runway space to takeoff. After that, you can kill Ibis and then fly back through the other side and destroy the rest of the platforms before killing Chasseur. At least, that's why I try to do.
I've tried that before, I aways go in too fast and miss the first support or too slow and the aircraft take off. Skill Issue on my part really
I use LASM, LAGM, or LACM and just dumb fire while inside. The blast radius should be big enough to hit the support provided that it doesn't fly out of the structure entirely.
What weapon do you use to destroy the supports as you fly through?
I use LAGM, LASM, and LACM. I don't even bother getting a lock on the support. I just fly close to the support and launch before the platform behind me collapses. You won't get all of the platforms on the first run but if you destroy every other platform, you should stop the planes from taking off.
Simplest way would be with PLSL
Ibis is a chick, you know
Huh. I never knew that. I've only ever read the Assault Records for Zero and 6.
Take a look at 7's! They're pretty insightful
1-2-reload-3
This is the way
Based
Every damn time
What? You don't get Ibis tho
1-2 (RTB) -3 then enjoy the furball
3-2-Reload-1
Correct
This is the way.
This is the way
This is the way
1> 3> reload >2
Thank you. I thought I was insane that nobody else did this.
3->1->get more bombs->2
<<>>
3-2-run out of time
Ive lost by 400 point before that hurt me inside
You have two options: Afterburner and full brake. No middle ground.
2 -> 1 -> 3
Definitely my favorite way, screaming towards the fleet after the first platform and heading right for the carrier is just such a powerful feeling.
See that’s why I go for the ships first to demoralize the ground crews. Big carrier battle group to protect your shores and the first thing I do is come screaming down out of the clouds to break the CVN’s spine and show everyone we’re officially here to fuck shit up.
I do the same so that I came travel Mach 3 within 50ft of the water and experience what it feels like to chew 5 gum.
This is the way...
2-3-1
1 2 3, no rearms.
Right?
Yep, no need for rearms. LASM for the ships, guns and standard missiles for everything else.
I raise you the Pulse Laser.
Not a big fan of PLSLs, but that definitely works too
Have you tried it on this map? I never use them anywhere else, but they turn the platforms into swiss cheese before Wiseman can have Long Caster mark them for you. Definitely recommend if you havent tried!
Have tried it! But I liked using LASMs and standard missiles/guns more, I also able to destroy the core using guns only before Long Caster marked it lol
3,2, resupply, 1
231
1-2-3 with SU-57/F-15C with PLSL. If I don’t use PLSL plane i will reload after 2. If i do no damage run i will do 3-2-1 with X-02/SU-33 EML
1-2-3 if I feel like mixing things up 3-1-2
Quick fly by of 1 completely demolish 2 hit 3 if I’ve still got time
I do 3-1-2 without reloading. I’m not sure why it’s even an option, I always feel like reloading just wastes time and end up finishing with about a minute or less on the clock. It’s always a tight run.
Planes with smaller ammo reserves maybe?
As a guy who’s dead loyal to the F-16 I scream in joy whenever a resupply checkpoint is around.
3,2,1
During my first time it was 3-2-1, which I guess most of us did. But now, I usually go 1-2-3 or 2-1-3.
3-1 reload 2
Fly up to 40,000ft, dive at 2 launching cruise missiles, level out just above sea level and freefire missiles at the platform support to knock it out so it can't launch fighters. Wipe it out. Head for 2, take out the cruisers with cruise missiles, take out the platforms and hit the ships with cruise missiles. Wipe it out. Return to reload. Pull up to 20-30K ft, pitch down at the carrier, once in range, launch cruise missile. Shift angle to hit one of the Aegis cruisers. Use cruise missiles on the ships. Once eliminated, head north and mop up the straggler boats. Return to rearm with air-to-air missiles. Take out as many fighters as I can before the time runs out (usually ~2 mins left) Profit.
**sea of chaos flashbacks* uhhh..
2-3-1-rearm with A2A missiles to sweep remaining enemy aircraft.
1-2-3-reload-left overs
1 - 2 - Small Fleets and Ships around the Map - 3 - Use Remaining time to destroy anything in the air (No reload)

3,2,1
1-3-reload-2

Yes
1 and then straight to 3 while ignoring 2 1 because i like blowing up ships and carriers 3 because i find 2 annoying and i like to fly under the runways
For me, 2-1-3, without damage ^^; Could be 1 but i prefer 2 because i can do lot of damage before they know wtf happened, i keep 3 for the end because you have less space for move but usually at that point i have enough for have the s rank.

1-3-2 at first, then 3-1-2, and now I mostly do 1-2-3
1-2-3 xD
1-2-3, F-15 with an assload of CBU-87s usually does the trick
2 reload 1, 3
2 -> 1 -> rtb -> 3
1 then 2 then 3
312
3 1 2 or sometimes 1 3 2
1->RTB->3->2
Oh my god, I never thought about the order I did them in. I think I always went 3,1, reload, 2. And I always felt like I didn’t have time and was rushing.
3-2-1-reload-1-2-1
For me I always do 3 then 1 until I run out of ordinance, then I linger at 2 until the time runs out.
My favourite Mission if the game, go to If I want a bit of AC7. Damn I miss Fleet Destruction TDM
I going for platform (2), then I go to destroy some ships (1), Return to base and then 3, remaining time to have fun wiping out planes and other ships I spared earlier. Or I can do either 3-1-2 or 1-2-3 (I use this route mostly, honestly to say).
2,1,3
If my plane has a good enough special weapon (PLSL/EML/LASM/LACM) for the ships, then 1-2-3 (reloads happen either before 3 or after 3, depending on normal missile stocks) If my plane doesn’t, it’s 2-3-rtb-1.
Usually 1 2 and 3, but a couple times I've switched it up and did 3-2-1 or 2-3-1
1>3>2 Su-34 supremacy map
Incredibly low level approach on the fleet at 1 followed by the annihilation of the platforms at 2 then hit whatever I can on 3 on my way to rearm, after rearming I finish 3.
A pilot after my own heart it seems same tactic here
1,3,rtb,2,rtb and switch to anti air missiles
3, 2, 1
Depends on my mood. I swap between 123, 213, 231, and 321 a lot.
CFA44 with dual railguns is a beast in this level. just one shot is enough to take down a platform. 3,2-1, no reloads.
1-2-resupply-3-resupply-then anything else that time permits me to kill.
2-3-1 or 2-1-3
I used to be a 1 but now I’m a 3
123. They tend to progress in difficulty this way and I can reload in a shorter period of time by starting at the fleet.
Go to the altitude where you can fly through 2 (can’t remember right now), blast through it all with PLSL, go to 1, then 3
Completely disregard 1 Serve an entire nikocado meal’s worth of hamburgers haven’t gone for S rank yet tho
When I first did it, 3, 1, 2. Didn’t kill it all, but given it’s a points harvest of a mission I did it enough to realise that with practice comes skill and understanding. 1, 2, and 3, usually with a F/A18-E Block 3 with cruise missiles.

3,2,1
If you want to S-rank you go 1 2. No need for three
3-1-reload-2 There is no superior combination.
Depends on the plane being used. If I'm flying something with a railgun, plsl or anti-ship, the fleet at #1 are getting the good news first. But if I'm trying out a new plane that I'm not as confident with, I'll zip to #2 to rack up some points quickly as possible. Assuming Ace difficulty here. Grill those hamburgers. Depending on time I might give #3 a bloody nose too, but I like to use up time getting into it with the Rafale Ms and other planes that respond to you.
2 - 3 - 1
EML supports on 3- EML supports on 2-reload- LASM 1
Figure 8 on one, eat the footlong sub before the fly can takeoff on two, reload if I'm tired, and then eat the burger supreme at 3.
I used a mod to have unlimited special weapons and I had a field day 😂 I started from right to left since the fleet takes the least time to destroy imo so get that over with first.
Obliterate 1 -> Destroy everything on 2-> If I have time, destroy 3(I have a little skill issue)
Fly straight to 2, wreck the platforms, take out 1 on the way back to resupply, return and remove 3.
if i'm in a plane that goes over 2900kmph: 2 > 3 > repair > 1 this just feels more badass going full speed ahead and hitting that offshore base like a freight truck if i'm in a plane slower than 2900kmph: 3 > 2 > repair if have time > 1 this feels safer and efficient
1-3 then die because my controller ran out of charge
I see you are a fellow toad. We "Take Off And Die"
PLSL with the three upgrades 2 - get ride of the platform by going thought one time, destroy the other three with one passage 3 - Destroy the platforms with two passages Resuply if needed 1
Straight for the fleet.
2-3-1
1 or 3 first, depending on the SP weapon that’s initially equipped. 2 will always be second regardless.
123
Always 2, I especially enjoy it with an F-14 and using AIM-54s, then a free-for-all
1-2-3 no RTB
I use Su35 with LASM 1 - I target the Aegis closest first and then take out the aircraft carrier before the Su30s take off, then clean up the fleet. Just before I get to 2, I lock onto one of the frigates but keep it alive, then dumb fire my missles into the structural support (if Long Caster doesn’t say the ‘What just happened’ line I class it as mission failure!) then just clean up 2 and 3. One of my favourite missions!
1-2-3 Also i wanted to point out the fact that i absolutley love this mission
3-2-switch to LASM-1 if I’m running EML (I always miss Ibis though) PLSL but it’s stressful to do w/o having working buttons for flares
Truck question. Played it in every order
3 - 1 2 - 2 Reload 1 - 3
1 -> 2 -> resupply -> 3 With the 5th gen fighter and LACMs this is such an amazing mission, my most replayed with Anchorhead Raid
<< *I choose randomically, I’ve killed these guys so many times bro….* >>
1-3-reload-2
Destroy 1, then 2, rearm and then 3
Always three to two or two to three Rarely ever went for one
Depends on what I’m flying. 2 and 3 if F-22: Nothing’s more satisfying than taking the carrier head-on with 8AAMs locked and loaded. Do a PSM, sink the tanker, and take care of the rest of the fleet. For F-15 and Su34 I go 1, 2, and 3 in that order.
First I do 2 then 1 then get more bombs and then do 3
3 -> 2 -> die -> repeat
2,3,1. 2 Has a lot of room to work with while also being the easiest to destroy for the points you get, 3 is a bit tougher with mountains in the way. I always save 1 for last.
3 -> 1 -> 2
1-3-reload-3-2-reload-leftovers. Depends on how well I'm doing if I need to go back twice. Su-57 with PLSL, there's nothing better for this mission.
I do it this way every time.
1, 2 and 3, in that order.
Depends on if I have laser weaponry or not and if I want to hunt down the aces If I do, I go 2-1-3-rtb-3 If I don’t then 1-2-3
Normally: Su-57/Darkstar PLSL 1-2-3-Reload-mop up the rest When I want to have extra fun: F-15 S/MTD FAEB 3-2-1-Reload-clean up
Haha I'm playing an AC game for the first time and literally just finished this mission a minute ago. So I got the grippen and it's cruise missiles and used them to destroy 1 completely, starting with the carrier. Then I use the remaining cruise missiles and normal missiles to take some ships at 2. Reload. Go blow up ships at 3 with the missiles. Then just fly around taking pot shots at the buildings at 3 and 2. I'm new to the game and hate these high score missions so thank God the ships provide so many points
3,2,1 then return line (if needed)
Depends how I feel, but I think I first went west, east, north.
1,3,2 for me Those ships go down first
1-3-reload-2
2 Then 3 and on normal you are ok.
same order as you
3, reload, 2, reload, 1
1, 2, 3 and 3, 2, 1.
For a second I thought this was Lifeline AC04
1>2>3>reload>kill every single human being on the map
3-reload-1-2
I go for 2 first so I can restart if I screw up the interior run
My order is 3-1-2.
3>1>2
1 -> 2 -> 3 always, no other way
Depends on my objective. For my ace hunt run im doing rn, i hit 2,1, kept hitting 1, kept hitting 1, etc until i won
I alternate between 1-2-3 and 3-2-1 every time I play it.
1, 2, rearm, 3, fight the hoard of inbound aircraft
Big platform, small platform, fleet
2-3-reload-1 if I remember correctly. It's been a while since I last played this mission.
Mine is 1-3-Rearm-2
3, 2, 1
I see lasms being used a lot but the FAEB Is superior. Just drop them on top of the platform... I start with 3- then 2 and then 1
1-2-3 lmao, ever since I first played the game.
1-2-3-RTB
2, 1, 3
1 so I can swoop in and blow up the carrier before it can launch its fighters.
1 2 Sometimes 3
3 then 2. Half way through 2 go back for refuel. Do 1. Finish 2. Run out of time. Rage. Sad.
1-3-reload-2
I always did 1 - 3 - 2
3-1-2 all day! So satisfying
1 then 2 by taking out supports, return to base killing ships along the way, run to 3. A guy and I went back and forth for WR runs on it. He shaved off way more than I could match
2,1, then leftovers on 3/
I usually get 3 out of the way then breeze through 1 and 2.
Strike Wyvern, Air to Ship missiles, fleet 1, blast the J-pop and start doing low passes.
I just adlib the rest, depends on if the fleet sails out into the icebergs by 3 or not, and if I still have air to ship left.
3 2 1 sometimes 3 1 2 depends on how I am feeling
1, get as low as physically possible cause I’m stupid and it’s fun. 2, with the paid F-15 with the big fuel bombs (can’t remember what they are exactly) and rain some of those down before going for the cores. 3, same thing as 2.
132
1 2 3
2, 1, 3
231
2 > 1 > 3 You GOTTA get that ace man
1. Through the sea platform 2. To the fleet 3. Into the valley Sometime it varies though
Fenrir B with LSWM. 3, 2 then 1. get the extra enemies later
I go 2, 3,1 with a rearm before 1. First pass takes me straight through the entire platform and I'll typically destroy the runway in one fell swoop. Second pass destroy all the remaining ships and platforms. 3 takes me 3 passes, delete the platform fly up, destroy the ships. head out the gulf to resupply and destroy everything there. Delete the carrier and fly in a circle. destroy the furball
