- Here are some tips for the Fight of the Old Dog mission:
- At the mission start get into the air as fast as you can. Put your wheel
- brakes on while throttling up to 100% or get caught in the hangar doors. When
- the doors are open release the brakes and take off quickly following normal
- procedure. Mountains surround the base so head north once off the ground
- keeping a steady climb rate.
- Go to offensive weapons station and switch in attack radar. Decrease range to
- 5-10 km. Select the red batwing-shaped enemy fighter and while lock is
- established set the bomb control panel to 'unlatch' and 'auto'. Select an
- AIM-120 and launch. If this doesn't remove the enemy repeat the process until
- he's shot down. Shut off attack radar and switch to camera.
- General Elliot commands you to head west so maintain a steady climb rate over
- the mountains. Select time compression (warp 5) to reach the next screen.
- Evade friendly radar contact and simulate a crash in the ocean. Set time
- compression to normal (warp 1) and turn attack radar off.
- At the pilot station set your TAC to less than 380 feet but don't turn it on.
- Set throttle to 70% and go through the normal identification process when
- contacted by Seattle. When Elliot tells you to put on the show go into a
- steep dive until the analog altimeter or flight level shows -59. Air control
- asks if you're losing control and when you altimeter reads between 10500 and
- 11500 switch on the TAC. Level off at around 500 feet to evade the radar.
- Change heading until you receive a confirmation that you've evaded radar
- contact. Elliot orders you to head west. Leave the TAC on but stay in camera
- mode on the EVS and do not switch the radar on.
- If you get this right you go to the next screen where you refuel. Switch the
- TAC off and gain altitude. Go to the offensive weapons station and use the
- camera mode to lock on to the KC 130 refuelling tanker. Go to the pilot
- station and click on 'C' in the air refuel panel. The tanker refuses so
- switch on attack radar and try again. You can now refuel. Switch to autopilot
- set throttle to 100% and go through the in-flight refuelling procedure. Set
- the EVS back to camera mode.
- You now have a full load of fuel and can go on to Kamchatka to blow up the
- Kavaznya radar. Remember not to use the default weapon load - remove all
- weapons and use a mix of AGM-136 AGM-88A AGM-84E and AGM-130s. Don't go
- straight for the laser but for laser radar and save some long-range missiles
- for it.
