If you kill it on this version, you fail, but I heard if you do it on JP, it only lowers your rank...but it also drives the story in another direction...is that true?

Not sure about the JP one; but it is true, that you will fail if you shoot it down (or lose track of it) in this version.

Anybody knows why are you teletransported into some other place if you kill or lose the Navhawk?

I think that's the area above the ravine walls...

I don't bother following the NavHawk, since following it is just a waste of time. I just zip through it in the Aurora and look for the enemy facilities.

Edits made.

Hmm.....if I remember correctly; you fail if you lose sight of the Nav Hawk. So, I never let it out of my sight.

Well... my copy of AC3 is a bit strange. Most of the planes can fire four missiles at once, like the XFA-27. =/ The only ones that don't are the EF-2000, MiG-33 and R-101.... and before anyone tells me that I'm confused and just using the short range missiles, I'm not.

You can do that in any AC3. You can even fire 6 SRMs

That's only limited to the 'Excellent' Aircraft... like the Su-37, XFA-36, Su-43, R-103.... and the three super planes.

I'm talking about my planes being able to fire off four normal missiles, like the F-22C. Which I'm sure as hell is NOT supposed to do that. On one occasion, my Su-43 was firing off the plasma energy weapons for missiles the Sepia uses instead of the normal missiles when I was playing on the mission where you have to stop the GR ships from reaching a downed satellite before Neucom hydrofoils do. I restarted the mission a few times, to see if it was a mere simple glitch, but it stayed on through out the entire mission.

EDIT: Saw a screenshot of an F-22C being flown. It could fire 4 normal missiles in unison. My bad. >_> Also checked through all the planes. I feel dumb right now.
