Greased Lightning is the fifth mission of Ace Combat 2.
Briefing[]
While in pursuit of an enemy transport plane, reconnaissance discovered that an enemy base is being built in a deep ravine. Our enemy seems hard-pressed to construct a new base in a hurry after losing their forward base. This time our target is the ravine base. The problem is a network of anti-aircraft missile silos surrounding the ravine, making it impossible to carry out a bombing mission from above. To attack the base, we have to enter the edge of the ravine by flying at a low altitude, and then make a hit-and-breakaway attack. This is the only way to attack this base.
Target: The ravine base
The enemy’s anti-aircraft missiles are highly accurate, and there will be no chance of survival if you fly directly over the ravine. Watch your altitude!
Objectives[]
This is the first canyon flight mission, where the player must navigate within the ravine and destroy a ground target marked TGT at the end. A missile alert will sound whenever the player aircraft flies above 400 meters, and at 450 meters the player aircraft will get shot down automatically regardless of speed or position, causing the mission to end in a failure. Wingman support is not available for this mission.
