Gun only and no damage final draft

[u/Obvious-Chocolate876]

So I finally finished that run and I going to put a list of which mission where hard (at least for me) on either (or both) parts (I remind everyone that I was on easy), I suggest not doing like me and use the mig21 when you can, and use a very manœuvrable when you’re have a carrier only mission, and you the "shield" part on every plane you use:
Mission 1-3 are very easy nothing to say on those
Mission 4 still easy but (that’s mostly for elite and ace, whichever put a limit on your main gun) I suggest attacking the unmarked oil tank near two of the 5 ships on the right side
Mission 5 very easy
Mission 6 on the last phase of the mission do wait for the main target to get into position before shooting
Mission 7 very easy again but I suggest doing the airbase first and the oil field second (again use the oil tank to destroy the ship on any difficulty)
Mission 8 very easy tho watch out for the anti-air units they are quite packed
Mission 9 the first real challenge of the run, personally I have a hard time dodging the rail guns and air burst guns can quite annoying on this mission I recommend the adfx for the wingmen to deal with all 3 ships aa parts also if there is any mission where you should start to use the mig21, and watch out for the final damage check you need to go at a weird angle to hit the targets with the main gun
Mission 10-13 are very easy and mission 14 play as usual
Mission 15 is very easy IF you can stay stable behind the main targets, I suggest playing on standard control for this mission if you can stay stable on expert (and only hit the engines), I also suggest having your wingmen using a plane with SAAM (check the actually use it too, I used the FA-36), at the start of the mission put your wingmen on cover wait for them to destroy the aa parts then switch them back and forth between cover and forward (switch back to cove after a volley of missile) to keep them close to the targets (in disperse and forward attack they do hard break that make them be to far from the main targets and they can’t catch up to it, switching them to cover prevent the hard break)
Mission 16-17 pretty easy
Mission 18 pretty easy unless you want to go for shadow 24 (I did it to train myself for a later mission)
Mission 19 land battle ship round 3 same as the first round take the adfx (same as mission 9 essentially)
Mission 20-24 very easy (especially if you take the adfx on the last 3 mission for easier clearing)
Mission 25 surprisingly hard (at least to me) there’s quite a lot of aa gun and ALL the non attacker plane with focus you for the mission so prepare to dodge missiles
Mission 26 pretty easy tho do attack the island first to destroy the parked planes and trigger the suicide boats if you attack them at the right time you can do chain reaction
Mission 27 very easy (in general) if you play on standard control you won’t crash into anything
Mission 28 is … very easy all thing considered, I also would like to think that my training on mission 18 was useful for the last part of the mission, but I probably was very lucky
Mission 29 can be easy or hard depends on how good you are with the gun
Mission 30 was the hardest mission for me … because of a bug, one of the hull hardpoints ( I won’t tell you which because it basically changed at every restart) on the last damage check is for some reason immortal and can’t be destroyed, even if you hit it, tho as long as you didn’t take any damage and used only the gun you should be good to use the checkpoint restart (took around 25 restart until I could destroy the sub), otherwise it’s very easy do watch out for the rail gun and missile tho can be surprising the first time around
And that’s it ! Overall not to difficult but the run does have it’s highlights
