Guess what? It's not as annoying as one would think.
Mission 1
Training For the Next Mission
The missiles are usually meant for boss fights. The bigger ones are more powerful, but you have less of them to launch. The smaller ones aren't as powerful, but you have more ammunition for them.
This one is pretty simple. Just stay alive and shoot down planes. You'll need the target practice for the levels ahead. (You could be like the AVGN and stay at 40,000 feet where planes can't get you, but where's the fun in that?) Avoid missiles or shoot them down whenever you see them on screen, and if the radar screen tells you that a bogey is on your tail, move to the sides in a S-pattern to get free. When you consume enough fuel, you'll immediately go to the landing sequence.
You'll have to match the speed and altitude on the radar screen in order to get this right. Otherwise, you'll be pulling your best AVGN impersonation (and you'll also lose a life). Guess what? It's easy compared to the next challenge.
Mission 2
Destroy An Enemy Aircraft Carrier
Not only do you have the planes to deal with, you'll also have enemy ships shooting you from below. Juke and jive, my friend. Juke and jive.
When you hear the siren and see the message saying "Fuel Empty! Press Start," press Start to enter the refueling sequence. And guess what? I finally figured out how to do the refueling sequence! About time!
You have to get it on the X on the picture of the plane on the radar screen in the refueling sequence. If you get it right, you'll get the message "Connected!" on the radar screen and you'll be able to refuel. If you miss, the refueling plane flies away, and it doesn't come back. The game will also be pretty cruel and let you fly until you run completely out of fuel. Yeah, that's evil.
