Swordsmith is the ninth mission in Ace Combat 2.

Briefing

Your mission this time is to take over the enemy arms production base which is the source of their main weapons supply. If we are successful, we not only inflict serious damage to enemy arms production, but also benefit from control of their base. For this mission, only eliminate escort planes over the base and ground unit. You must take over the base without damaging it.

Target: The enemy arms production base defense unit

Remember, your target is the enemy's defense force and not the base itself. Try not to damage the base facilities. Identify your targets carefully, then attack!

Objectives

This is the first mission featuring non-targets, which are marked N.TGT. Destroying them will incur a penalty on credit rewards.

The mission objective is to destroy the four ground targets marked TGT, and they are in close proximity to non-targets. The player should avoid targeting the non-targets, switch targets if necessary, and aim carefully for the actual mission targets before firing the weapons.
