@@linslins4860 hey mate, just a gamepad or xbox 360 like 9eberra said. I have a thruster based one for my flight sims in private but it's ace combat and isn't meant to be a simulation anyway. Let me know if there's any other questions!
This video helped by giving me some perspective, thanks. One thing that helped me is I used a F-14D ST. Used the 8AAM mussels. So 8 missiles and can lock on from 5000km instead of 2000km so I would blow up the F-16s before they even take off then the bombers right after. So 16 missiles in like 30 seconds. Also I wanna add that the planes in the tunnel do take off I think the last 2 minutes. So for those having trouble just destroy the base and then once they take off get them. Got 2060 points with 6 seconds to spare after 5 hours haha
Some excellent advice, as you can probably tell I don't really use the bombers all too much, so advice like this just helps thicken out the benefits for everyone!
It was pretty tough for me initially because I kept following other's advise. Eventually I decided to use my favorite playing at the moment being the f-14, with long-range air-to-air. I also had the part that gave you better homing better damage and more standard missiles. I cleared out the first air Field, along with the convoys, and small out post. after that I did not focus much on air-to-ground the rest of the mission I hit air-to-air targets. since then I've replayed the mission with the a-10 which some people say is a horrible plane for this mission. 4810 I can easily take out virtually every ground Target at the base and the airfield. Also hitting the tunnel in canyon.
@@juicy-contents69 it's just a week for me, but it's so fkincg frustrating that the previous missions I could do with a few tries, and now I'm stuck at this
Don’t think it’s that just started playing had a hell of a run on normal seemed like I couldn’t miss would up with around 40k points still said I failed
Forget doing it hard, I couldn't figure out why the time kept running down on me and the mission failed on normal. It felt like I blew up everything important, but can see I totally missed the third area. There's no guidance on where you're actually going and what area is where. I also didn't realise that completing missions was points based on this game either, so I was doing these totally blind. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the video. Got me to within 1000 points of passing it. After nearly a month on this mission though it's ruined the game for me. No fun left no reason to carry on playing.
Thanks very helpful, this mission seemed so easy yet I was making a typical mistake of going after low value targets and that's why I was unable to make it in time
Thank you for the guide. Been stuck on this mission for hours, but finally completed it. I wouldn't have even thought that the plenes in the tunnel increase your score
Hey, nice and helpful explanation. I spend around 3 hours and more than 10 attempts but I couldn't reached even 12000 points. with these suggestions I completed in 2nd attempt. Thanks
this mission is driving me crazy, I feel like I get worse every time. Was close to completing it, if I knew about the tunnel then that would have easily been it :D I have seen it but didn't realize you could fly through it. Time to try again!
Now I remember slogging through this on Hard with the A-10 memorizing price points. When I came back to it on Ace with my clean new F-35c it was the business. I realized to attack all of the drones head on before they split. I think I had to change configurations after the first 2 camps, if I recall.
Man, what a mission. I played it a handful of times until I found this video and it said get 20000 points. Didn't know that, didn't hear or read it. Make it to the tunnel, nothing in there? Will keep trying. Takes a lot to get to those points
LOve the flying through the tunnel tip! ( would never had thought to do that on my own) I was unaware you needed 20k points to get a "Mission Accomplished" I will watch for walkthrough videos you do in the future, and advise others to do the same.
The big issue is that according to the stories announcement you can't do a refill but if I re made this guide with one, I would suggest going after the first area, the air base. Another thing to note is you can't get one of the trophies if you skip manual landings.
I thought we couldn't use the return line as he said in the briefing because it was only for 'real soldiers' and not convicts like us? I realize I'm commenting on a post you made 2 yrs ago, so who knows if you'll ever see this but anyway - have a great day! Peace.
Ok, so this mission is to get enough points, and finding the targets worth most points. Not to just wipe anything visible out. I recently just bought this game, so this mission was a challenge. Thanks for the video. 👍
This is the mission that stopped me from progressing and I must've done it at least 10 times. Eventually put the game down the year it came out due to this mission. Might try it on Easy or whatever if I can if I can come back to it (as I'm now actually in flight school lol) but wish me luck!
Idk why they make this mission so hard at beginin of the freaking gane... It's imposible damn! I hit 19650 AND iam tired of trying. I think this mission make people quit the game
I only kept crashing on this mission when it first came out, I didn’t know people had a hard time with this mission normally, even on hard mode. I’ve been playing these games since 04 and it was just another day 😅
I've literally been stuck on this mission for a few months 🙈 on normal. It's blew my mind. I feel stupid. I'm just now trying the a10 with the 4 ground missiles. Any other ideas for best aircraft/parts/specials??? Someone helpppp 🙈🤣
One more thin if run out of misses or LAGM u can return to base refill and go back and fight airbase will be that bleu rectangle don’t try to land just cross the blue dotted border and u will see a cut scene where u are landing.
Early on in the game most people have the multi role jets, if the a-10 or another bomber were unlocked early on, that would indeed make it a lot easier!
I keep getting shot down with the A-10C! People are saying to use it, but it’s so useless because you can’t avoid enemy missiles with it!! It’s so slow!!!
@@thebosstex1172 if you use the 4 lock missiles and put parts that give the plane better handling you can dodge missiles much easier. Hit multiple targets quickly and pull away. And don't forget to use chaft
I had 98% damage and no air to ground munitions with 5 min left and about 3000 points short. Before going through the tunnel I cleared the SAMs and AAGuns then flew back to base. Got to land, zero’d damage and changed SP weapon. Got back with 4 minutes. Got through tunnel plus some extras cleared the stage 300 points over. Thanks for the pointers GT. I almost gave up
On Normal I just figured out you can go resupply in the mission and armor back up to full health. I got this game 2 years ago and put it down because of mission 11 and now I’m stuck on this one lol
This mission was fucking mean! Took me two days but a 8 hour shift to finally pull through. At least on 5 instances, came a mere minute from hitting a 20,000 score or dying by a AA Gun when I had ~19,900 with a single SAM to go. Trust me when I say, use the A-10C Thunderbolt with grenade bomb; attack the first base to your left completely (mainly gas tanks & large aircrafts); follow the valley and hit the convoy and two SAM sites; "spaghetti-fy" through that canyon and use as many grenade bombs as possible; then attack the base far west. The A-10C Thunderbolt is your best friend! No matter how slow it is.
Hey everyone just posting Mission 8 for you all now!
Hi brother. What controller are you using? Thrustmaster? Or just gamepad? Thanks
@@linslins4860 He uses an xbox controller - wired. I remember from his assassins creed vids

Man I love you
Which jet were you using, is that a Tomcat?
Literally the equivalent of the train mission from San Andreas
fr
Yep eff this mission
Dude, all you had to do was follow the train.
This is the level I’ve been trying to beat for months. It went from trying one after another to trying every week. Now it’s every month.
Okay, its nice to see these comments, I just thought I sucked 😂
Same
I finally heard the wonderful sound of mission accomplished followed by an enemy missile hitting me
Lmfao
Bruh what, i had that one happen to me at zero at ace diff, i always kill everyone after that lol
same happened to me, but instead of passing, i failed
needless to say, im not the happiest camper right now

I used the same thing he did with the LAGM and it worked just fine.
Been stuck in this mission for the past 3 days. Thank you so much!
More coming soon, I just got back home last week, I'm looking at recording the rest of the missions tomorrow :) just in case :D

Im on normal and am stuck like a turtle on it's back
Finally finished the mission after trying for two days on hard, I think I dropped some tears of joy
Really helpful, never thought the tunnel would be so valuable
Glad to have helped, any other missions you feel need a tutorial?
i cnt finish this on normal hate score sht mission. great vid bro
lots of those but go through the tunnel! take out those bombers on the run way n you'll get it!
Don’t think it’s that just started playing had a hell of a run on normal seemed like I couldn’t miss would up with around 40k points still said I failed
It’s shitty asf
Lol same
@@GermanTurtle I still can't pass it on normal.
I'm not doing it on hard but it is giving me trouble on normal and this will definitely help, good stuff!
Just picked this up on game pass yesterday screw this mission lol
This mission is kicking my butt, and is making me bald.
Great walkthrough! It gets to the point without having to spend 1/2 hour to watch. Please make more Ace Combat 7 missions.

Well that was actually pretty cool flying through the tunnel, good video watched it all just for you German just for you.
Got stuck on this mission like I was 6 years old on a ps2 again, Glad I see I’m not the only one Thank you!
so your nine

Thank you for the guide. Been stuck on this mission for hours, but finally completed it. I wouldn't have even thought that the plenes in the tunnel increase your score
Really helpful - my son and I have struggled with this mission for ages!
Dang man, great to have you back to help us mortals again!
Well done tip Su-47 Berkut UGB with bomb parts can help you get 20000 points too that's how I did mine
I'll give it a go, releasing another one soon :)
I used a 10c with UGB

I am struggling in this mission even after I lowered difficulty to normal. Hope to get it finished next time.
Thank youuu very helpfull I was stuck for ages on this mission 👍
My pleasure!
haha that's funny I just passed this mission but I had NO idea about the tunnel, thanks for that one, S RANK HERE I COME!!!!!!!!

He makes it look simple Im constantly getting missle incoming alerts
I hate this game
I died at the 16000 mark, i got so mad
I wish there was checkpoints lol
Edit: i finally did it lol
It makes me si mad when I hear the unbelievably annoying death music when you crash and you cant skip it
Wow people are really struggling. I do get ur pain about the checkpoints. Took me longer on easy mode than on hard
I just died at 1650 I was about to get a truck and I crashed
My time over on the 18,000 mark, lol
LOve the flying through the tunnel tip! ( would never had thought to do that on my own) I was unaware you needed 20k points to get a "Mission Accomplished" I will watch for walkthrough videos you do in the future, and advise others to do the same.
He's on holiday in Japan at the moment but I'll let him know about your comment he'll be super happy!
This mission is so hard , thanks!
I give up on this game I have tried to do this mission 18 times on normal each time I have tried
Something different it almost seems impossible
Once you finish it once, it's easy forever, trust my advice and go for that airport and the tunnel! You can do it!!!
Same
5:49 is the big rectangle (base) where u can refill misses just cross dotted line to land (read my previous comment to understand in detail). :)
The big issue is that according to the stories announcement you can't do a refill but if I re made this guide with one, I would suggest going after the first area, the air base.
Another thing to note is you can't get one of the trophies if you skip manual landings.
Great tip mate, I'm actually stuck on that mission right now, I will try it later, thank you.
Wow thank you! Going at it very wrong, didn't know it was point based. This was like the Tomb Raider puzzle of Ace Combat lol.
I have been struggling with this mission for a long time, This tutorial really helped.
Thumbs up
If you run out of ammo there is a return line to refill. Same thing in Mission 11 and Mission 15.
I thought we couldn't use the return line as he said in the briefing because it was only for 'real soldiers' and not convicts like us? I realize I'm commenting on a post you made 2 yrs ago, so who knows if you'll ever see this but anyway - have a great day! Peace.

Been stuck at this mission for a lifetime now... tnx for the tips...
I would have never made it without your help! THANK YOU! ❤
Short sweet and to the point can't get no better than that

On normal is 17k... closest as I got was 16760, ran out of time, can't imagine doing it with a 20k target score.
I hit the score quota but got shot down with 30 seconds left.
Omg .. This mission is driving me mad . I will get close & get smashed by a missile on the second or third base. No way I'm dropping to easy mode .
F this F ing mission. I just wanna see the rest of the campaign and this mission is is stopping me while also being really boring
Thanks for the tunnel help, made me beat this in mere hours instead of days or months xD
What do you know? German's and turtle's can fly
He forgot to mention put on Spencer Davis group "gimme some lovin"
Idk why they make this mission so hard at beginin of the freaking gane... It's imposible damn! I hit 19650 AND iam tired of trying. I think this mission make people quit the game
I pass it :)
I heard the beautiful sound too! Thanks!
Man that was a fuckin pain in the ass mission, thank you.
After 6 hrs and multiple's rage moments i finally did it
Im on day 2 of trying to beat this. I feel like taking out 20 planes and 50 ground targets should qualify as a successful mission but...i guess not 😕
Very helpful! I was Struggling, thanks bro!
Thank you very much! Just got this game from PS Plus
I suck at gun kills. Gonna have to step my game up. Thanks for the upload!
Great guide for this mission. Thanks!
Love the how to videos with commentary excellent video!!
I only kept crashing on this mission when it first came out, I didn’t know people had a hard time with this mission normally, even on hard mode. I’ve been playing these games since 04 and it was just another day 😅
Jesus rhank you. This made me think that this game was poorly written bc this mission is so damn impossible.
Very informative content. Nice.
I've literally been stuck on this mission for a few months 🙈 on normal. It's blew my mind. I feel stupid. I'm just now trying the a10 with the 4 ground missiles. Any other ideas for best aircraft/parts/specials??? Someone helpppp 🙈🤣
I thought the tunnel spawned the enemy ace to shoot down for the skin
Shit like this makes it so obvious that developers arent playing their own games. 100 points for a major asset like a bridge? That is a complete joke.
One more thin if run out of misses or LAGM u can return to base refill and go back and fight airbase will be that bleu rectangle don’t try to land just cross the blue dotted border and u will see a cut scene where u are landing.
I saw the tunnel with the sams parked out front of it so many times, never though to risk a run and fly in lol
Thats why some planes are good for ground flying
I could never find the tunnel
thanks this mission is really unclear as to what you are meant to do
Very useful mate. Thanks so much!!
Hey thanks this video helped a lot i kept getting b rank only finally got a a
Great stuff thanks for the tips!
OMG, i so love you, thanks for your video!
Great video! Enjoy that you call your viewers pilot.
Finally did it with the Mig-21 with the gun pods
it gets a lot easier if you use an a-10 or "brrrt" as you may call it, also using ugb's
Early on in the game most people have the multi role jets, if the a-10 or another bomber were unlocked early on, that would indeed make it a lot easier!
@@GermanTurtle to get the a-10 I had near no money but after 2-3 multi-player rounds only downing about 2 players per round I had enough for the a-10

Great video! But I just restated the game in normal few minutes before to search for this on TH-cam 😭
this video was shortly after a restart so it hould be possible.
Great video. What is your strategy for avoiding missiles while you are shooting down ground targets?
Love this mission, almost the same strategy I use!!
Cant even do it on normal. Might restard and do it on easy
good video ill try it
the best i can get is 14,000 and all i hear is missile missile missile missile
Was it a bad move to play this on hard for the first time? Do all my parts and planes from easy carry over to medium and hard?
Gods bless you, good man, thank you !!!!
Thanks mate, did not know bout the tunnel having targets inside. Are you Top Gun ? flying through the tunnel like that, the balls on you !!
Thanks dude!
my aircraft is made of WW2 i cant get enough fires. to reach some scores
This is so helpful but what aircraft you recommended the most?
I am currently using the A10.
The F-15 with the lasers is pretty good on this mission
@@changedpace9169 thank you so much
finally i pass this mission
@@TheMint_aviation of course bro, this mission took me so long and that's the only plane that worked for me. It's really good in future missions too
Was this on hard? Cause I don't see you being harassed by missiles every 0.5 seconds
YES YES YES YESSSS I GOT 21K POINTS, THANKS!
This mission was fucking mean! Took me two days but a 8 hour shift to finally pull through. At least on 5 instances, came a mere minute from hitting a 20,000 score or dying by a AA Gun when I had ~19,900 with a single SAM to go.
Trust me when I say, use the A-10C Thunderbolt with grenade bomb; attack the first base to your left completely (mainly gas tanks & large aircrafts); follow the valley and hit the convoy and two SAM sites; "spaghetti-fy" through that canyon and use as many grenade bombs as possible; then attack the base far west.
The A-10C Thunderbolt is your best friend! No matter how slow it is.
Plus I play on HARD difficulty so strategy is key
You are my new favourite turtle
I see this level as bad game design rather than difficult.
Thanks for the info buddy.
Thanks mate, keep it up.
