-Aircraft 

On all levels that contain multiple aircraft bogies, the best 

solution is to wipe out all aircraft by flying low to the 

ground, then pulling up on the stick to get a missile lock to 

destroy them. Take one bogie out at a time, then fly back close 

to the ground and start the process all over again.



-Anti-aircraft guns 

Flying close to the ground causes the anti-aircraft guns to 

overshoot your plane. They cannot fire below a certain point due 

to the risk of hitting their own men.



-Weapons 

While speed in completing missions, extent of damage to your 

jet, and "First Blood" bonuses help, they will never allow you 

to gain the points and medals to open new jets. The key to 

points is ammunition choice. Try to use only guns for 

everything, saving all the missiles and bombs possible. 

If you must use missiles, use the self aimed, not the guided. 

The more bombs and missiles you return with, the higher the 

scores. By doing this it is possible to advance from the normal 

300,000 to 400,000 red star success to consistent scores of over 

2 million per mission.



-Flying 

As the missions gain in complexity, every fly over must be 

highly efficient. Instead of tight sweeping turns, use 

over-the-top turns. This can cut a 10 second turn down to 3 

seconds and place you in a better attack mode to start the next 

run. This requires practice.



-Destroy tanks, vans and most moving ground targets 

Use the afterburners when you are close to the ground. 

Note: This will not work on BTROs or gunboats (it will just do 

damage).



-Make it Easier to See while in Bombing Mode

When you see the "Incoming Message" come up on your screen, wait 

about one second after it starts disappearing and quickly press X 

before the message screen appears. If done correctly, after the 

message screen ("Destroy Enemy Buildings," "Enemy Choppers in the 

Air, etc") disappears, you'll be able to see forward just like you 

normally would be able to, but would be able to bomb. This makes 

it easier to see while bombing so you dont end up crashing into 

a rock or something.

Note: Will not work if the bombing mode view shows up before the 

      message screen appears.
