Alright I did not knew where to post it but I am having serious problems and frustaration to get A Rank on several missions.

- The hurrican mission: I tried everything. I shoot down almost all aircrafts in the beginning where you pursue Illich and Markov. I take some 4AAM on a MiG-29 and always clean up most of them. Then in the scene where you battle Illich I always kill the respawning flankers and then attack Illich. This happens 3 times and then you can shoot him down in DFM. Still I only get an B rank. I took the MiG-29 to get the aircraft bonus but still it seems that I can't get it.
Can someone help me how to get an A rank here? What plane did you guys use? Does time matter a lot?

Time always matters, it's the largest portion of bonus points from your aircraft multiplier.

I did it in a MiG-21 with SAAM. Shoot down as many of the non-targets as you can, do not hit the burners to catch up unless necessary. And if you get shot down, restart the mission from the beginning...and do it quickly.

Time limit for maximum time bonus :5 minutes

Pack something with 4/6AAMs - 6 will be easier if you're just going for A-rank, I recommend the Su-33. Don't turn to engage the enemy fighters unless you see an opening, because time is of the essence. Keep pushing towards Markov, but if you get too far away from the other fighters, ease off the throttle.
Pay attention to your map: eventually, at given times (for example, right when Dagger Squadron is hit), they'll break off and fly away. When they do, quickly fire the salvo at them. They won't even flinch.
The last set of fighters will only turn away when Illich engages you, so you might not be able to kill them, but try nontheless. From then on, focus SOLELY on Illich.
