Strategy:
Scramble! As the mission is named; you must scramble to a Neucom air base located in the Waiapolo Mountains. Alright here is what you must do. First, upon entering the airspace you should quickly dispatch the two R-211s that you first encounter. Upon doing that, you encounter two R-102s, they may be high-tier but you can shoot them down quickly and head towards the airbase. As with any other AC3 mission you have a timer-based failure, if the timer hits 3 minutes...'Mission Failed'. OK, now you will go on ahed into the airbase. Destroy as many enemies quickly as you can and because the ADV Hornet has the ability to fire four missiles, you can bag 2 R-201s at the same time. Then...before the timer hits 3:00...MISSION COMPLETE!
