No more forced F-5E for the missions! This is one of my favorite missions for casual dogfighting in the game, good atmosphere and certified real banger playing.
*June 6, 1995:* Seven nuclear bombs exploded over Waldreich Mountains. More than 12,000 people died. *31 December, 1995:* V2 exploded in mid-air, but without civilian casualities. *16 December, 2004:* Stonehenge, the Erusean railgun known for its explosive volleys, fires at the ISAF forces during their retreat; Several fighters were lost due to Stonehenge itself, pursuing Erusean fighters, gunships hiding in the ravine and inexperience in flying in cramped spaces. *June 18, 2005:* The Eruseans launched a barrage of long-range cruise missiles at the ISAF landing sites. Mobius 1 managed to destroy all missiles and keep up with the warhead and ultimately destroy it, setting its warhead off in a massive, blue fireball. *30 September, 2010:* A submergible carrier called "Scinfaxi" successfully sank two of the Osean fleet three aircraft carriers and virtually wiped out all of the Oseans' carrier-launched escort fighters with its Burst Missiles. *August 30, 2015:* Nimbus missiles launched from the "Aigaion" wiped out around half of Emmerian aircraft above the city, forcing the Emmerian Air Defense Command to order a withdrawal from Gracemeria. *July 27, 2019:* Spare Squadron engaged a formation of F/A-18F Super Hornet faking Osean IFF systems. During the engagement, the hostile aircraft received fire support in the form of Helios burst missiles, launched by the Arsenal Bird. Despite this, Spare managed to shoot down all hostile aircraft.

It's definitely a mission that gives a sweet taste of freedom!

Well, those are oddly specific choices of dates to share there! Except for the one that does take place in this mission!
I remember I was scared when that happened. Just like in "Deep Strike" from AC4.
Being able to adapt to the situation is part of what makes a good pilot, I think!
