MISSION BRIEFING
..Underline
.body
"The targets this morning are three cargo ships headed out of the port which was the center piece of yesterday's mission. Recon reports these ships are laden with guns, missiles, a few tanks and tons of supplies which will probably be used against us in the near future. So, our only alternative is to lambaste those babies! Take your time setting up your shots, we don't need to use any more Harpoons than necessary at a million dollars apiece. Recon shows frequent enemy patrols in that area so load up your remaining hardpoints with AMRAAMs...and with that I'll let you guys get down to business... dismissed!!"

As soon as you reach the first waypoint target the first ship and tell your wingies to attack it. Wait a moment then target the next ship and again tell your wingies to attack it. Then target the third ship and you take that one out. Hopefully, all missiles reached their targets and you'll get a "Mission Accomplished", otherwise you may have to find out which ship can still take more damage and go after it with guns blazing. You'll only have a few seconds to do this because you have a package of Mig-29s and SU-27s aiming to blow you out of the sky. To top it all off, on your way home you'll notice some bandits headed towards the Eisenhower. You gotta clean those babies out or you won't have a place to land your plane! Get to 'em quick. As soon as you spot them you'll need to punch the afterburners almost all the way there. Then sic your wingies (if you still have any) on the bombers and you take out the fighter escorts or vice-versa. Git back in there and show us how it's done!
