El Dorado is the fourteenth mission in Ace Combat 2. It is also the first mission of the Operation "A"LPHAVILLE branch.

Briefing

Thanks to your continued success, our forces have been able to advance a little further into enemy territory. As you can be sure, their counterattacks will escalate fiercely. Here, we want to throw the enemy into confusion in order to take the dominant position. To do this, we are going to divide our force in two, and then make simultaneous strikes on the enemy. This mission will be code-named Operation "A"LPHAVILLE, your objective is to destroy the exhaust duct which ventilates the underground silo and the enemy missile silo base itself.

Target: The silo base and exhaust duct

The only way to destroy the heavy protective wall covering the exhaust duct is to fly horizontally at an extremely low altitude and to hit it directly. Remember, keep it low, and good luck!

Objectives

The mission objective is to destroy ground targets marked TGT on the map, which include all silo exhaust ducts as well as the two anti-air weapons in the middle of the base. The number of exhaust ducts differ depending on the chosen difficulty setting, and they must be destroyed head-on from the front and at a low altitude. As all exhaust ducts are guarded by an anti-air gun at the front, the player can use those guns as a guidance for attack runs.
