Overview:
The REAF (Republic of Emmeria Air Force) was able to hold its own early in the battle. After the impact of numerous Nimbus missiles launched from the Estovakian Heavy Cruiser, and arrival of Strigon flight, the REAF was forced to retreat from the captial city to Khesed Island.

*These spawn periodically

[Zaku]

The Emmerican Navy uses Cassards, Ticos, and Kirovs in Gracemeria; it's the only mission where their Ticonderogas appear.

After the update when the Strigons appear, there's 12 Superhornets, and 4 Rafale Ms going after you. Not too positive, though. Tomcats also appear in this mission, although you don't see them as much as the Falcons and Mirages that fill the sky.

As for C-17s... there's 16 of them, which makes 16 airborne tanks, not six. The C-17s also respawn periodically, flying from the northwest, heading southeast. They don't drop any tanks, fortunately.

And the Emmerians had flak guns? I never knew they had 'em in this mission... oh and btw, Avalanche's Squadron also took part in the defense of Gracemeria

[Valcom228]

Whats a "F-22A Pegas"?

[kuroi tsubasa]

That's the guy you have to shoot down to get the F-22's Estovakia SP paint. It's kinda like a paintjob you'd see on an aggressor squadron, or on a MiG-31 Foxhound....

[Heinkel]

It should be noted that the C-17s drop both tanks and paratroopers.
The C-17s that respawn from the west and don't drop tanks drop paratroopers instead, and they don't appear on your IFF or radar.

@Valcom: A fighter ace, the F-22 is his plane and Pegas is his callsign

[Ace01]

I updated the Info according to Kuroi.

Also switched around Gracemeria> Mainland Emmaria,
Also on quick update 2 its one minute, not two

[EstovakianHarrierPlus]

9 F-4E's in the mission.
