Mission Overview:
Cipher and Pixy are dispatched to a region within Belka known as "Belkan Priority Airspace One - B7R", also known as "The Round Table". The Round Table is a desolate, mountain region that is rich in minerals that is heavily defended by the Belkan Air Force. It has been heavily fought over, and that is why Cipher and Pixy are sent there.

Cipher and Pixy start the mission by entering the combat zone from the southeast corner and are heading toward the northwest, directly toward B7R. Check your map and you will see two aircraft approaching you from the west. One is just entering the combat area, and there is one closer. Engage these aircraft first, they will be single F-4E Fighters. Engae the first one using an XLAA or XMAA. After that plane is destroyed, engage the second one in the same fashion. The second F-4E will turn neutral will turn to exit th combat area.

After they are dispatched, a pair of F-4Es will approach from the northeast. You can proabably take both of them out wil the XMAA or XLAAs. When they are eliminated, another pair of aircraft will come at you from the north. These will be the Ace Planes Graufalk 1 and 2, XLAA and XMAA aren't very effective, so use standard missiles.

After the Ace Planes eliminated, you will have two remining pairs of MIG-21bis fighters. Since they come at you in pairs, you can easily destroy them with your SP A2A weapons.

After the secondary targets are destroyed, proceed toward the northwest corner of the map and cross over the ridgeline of B7R. Then you will hear AWACS Eagle Eye say:

<< Eagle eye >>
"Galm... Penetrate B7R airspace"

Proceed over the Ridgeline of B7R and you will hear Pixy say:

<< Pixy >>
"So those mountains make up the Round Table."

<< Eagle eye >>
"Warning!!! Radar shows additional craft approaching Area B7R at High Speed!!"

<< Pixy >>
"Galm 2 to Galm 1, Enemy Reinforcements... Probably the Main Force"

After this exchange, a cutscene appears with the arrival of Grun Squadron, flying four F/A-18C Hornets

[MISSION UPDATE]


*Grid Map after Cutscene*

When the GrunSquadron appears, you can try to engage then with either XLAA or XMAA's but usually they miss. Also, when flying against Ace Squadrons, your SP Weapons don't kill the target wit hone missile, you need two.

Put Pixy on Free engagement, he will attack fo on the attack. Be very careful because the Ace pilot can deply decoys and when you fire missiles, they will decoy them, unless you fire a combination of XLAA and standard missiles. Continue battling the Rot until you have successfully eliminated all four of the Typhoons. When you have achieved this, mission is complete.
