Rising High (AC2)
Rising High is the eighth mission in Ace Combat 2.
Briefing[edit]
The image of an enemy unit in flight was sent to us by reconnaissance satellite. From its size, the image appears to be a bomber unit in a moving operation. We have also discovered some unidentified aircraft not found in our data. No further details are known. We want you to pursue and eliminate the targets.
Target: The enemy bomber unit
At high altitudes, our planes stalls easily. Treat her gently and watch your airspeed!
Objectives[edit]
The mission objective is to shoot down four large aircraft marked as TGT: two SR-71s and two XB-70s. These aircraft fly at a high altitude where player aircraft can stall more easily than at lower altitudes. Aircraft with high "climbing ability" statistics can maintain high altitude flight at a lower speed.[2]
Wingman support is not available for this mission.
Should any of the TGT aircraft manage to escape past the northeast corner of the map, they will disappear from the map. The mission will end with a "MISSION OVER" when all TGT aircraft escape or get shot down, which means the player can pass the mission even if they do not destroy any aircraft.
