Just to make it extra clear, this game doesn't tolerate any kind of loitering about. Whenever there's nothing to do, hug the afterburners. The game has a nasty habit of hiding special units (and sometimes even drop you a few ranks) if you're off for a lively walk. You've been warned.

Once you're thrown into your seat, destroy the AA Guns and SAM installments stranded in the wilderness ahead. There's another SAM in the distance a bit to the left, make sure you don't miss that.

Switch your attention to the parked B-52s to the right. I'm sure you've learned from Mission 01 these things don't bite the dust quite easily, so you're going to have to use a combination of Guns, Missiles and NPBs to take them down in one run.

Now spend your time taking down as much of the non targets as possible until about 8 minutes' worth of mission time remaining. If you've unleashed enough havoc ARI should be sailing in the airspace above the base. You know what to do. From this point thereafter destroy the remaining non targets first, including enemy aircraft overhead then snipe off whatever targets left over.

A fairly interesting thing about this mission's if you come back later with an LSWM-equipped Fenrir. Ignore everything, target the bomber in the middle of the base with your nuke, fire and mission accomplished. In less than ten seconds. You'll get a C-rank but...
