Gunship (blue): This helicopter excorts the transporter on its bombing mission. His function is to shield the transport helicopter but he will still try to bring you down if he can. Solo (red): This helicopter is extremely manouvreable and will do its upmost to lure you into making mistakes enabling it to despatch you to your maker! Flak Battery: These will fire deadly flak as soon as they have been dropped into position by the tranport helicopters. Radio Jammers (black): These cylindrical devices when dropped by a transport helicopter distort your radar. The only way to deactivate them is to loacte and destroy them. FALCON (Falcon Fighter): Your VTOL jet is armed with 100 missiles, comprising of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, known as AAM's and a very sophisticated radar. Your jet can hover, climb and descend vertically and fly as a normal fighter. NOTE: At this is a very realistic interpretion of a VTOL, do not expect to be able to stop dead instantly in your fighter. You must decelerate before trying to hover and turning cannot be accomplished in an instant. To relese air-to-air missiles fly horizontally and press fire button. To release air-to-ground missiles pull down on the joystick, or press the down key, while pressing the fire button. By mastering these techniques you can destroy high/low flying helicopters as well s flack batteries and radar jammers. Landing Pad """"""""""" Your landing pads allow ou to re-fuel and re-arm your aircraft. To do this you must descend VERTICALLY on to one of the pads. Upon landing you will see the plane re-fuel and the number of missiles you are carrying increase on your control panel. You may break off re-fueling/arming if you feel that your position has become too vulnerable. NOTE: If your landing pas suffered too much bomb damage you cannot land on it (this encourages careful aim!) RADAR """"" Your radar is a very accurate and almost essential aid to a successful mission. It shows the height and diretion of the travel of the enemy helicopters and your landing pad. The centre line shows your position. If your radar display becomes unreadable then the enemy have dropped a radar jammer and you must locate and destroy it to recover your radar.
