| Shattered Skies: Shoot down SR-71 | Rating: Pending | |
|
In the "Shattered Skies" mission, the fast moving plane you are locked onto when the mission first starts is an SR-71. You can shoot it down by heading towards the back of the combat area and climbing to about 30,000 ft. Head it off and you should be able to shoot it down. Quickly tap the Analog-stick Down as the mission starts. If done correctly, the SR-71 (which is the orange triangle) should still be blinking. This is the chance to get the Sr-71. Using the X-02 is recommended, due to its powerful speed. Did this work for you? or 16 of 23 people have said this worked for them. |

The plane is visible on radar to the left on the first target. Did this work for you? or 8 of 10 people have said this worked for them. |

| Easier X-02s | Rating: Pending | |
|
There is an easier way to get the three X-02s rather than going through the entire game. After the game is completed, the "Free Mission" option will be unlocked. Select this option and choose a difficulty setting (normal for the gray X-02, hard for the black X-02, or expert for the silver X-02). Select any mission to play on that difficulty setting. If you get an "S" rank on all the missions, the X-02 becomes available. This allows you to skip all of the missions you got an "S" on when you went through the full game. For example, if you got an "S" on all but three missions, you only have to play those missions instead of the entire game. Did this work for you? or 5 of 16 people have said this worked for them. |

| Easier ground battle | Rating: Pending | |
|
The best way to destroy multiple ground targets is to fly the F-15 Active using the FREB (fuel - air explosive bomb). This will destroy about six to ten targets if they are close together. Did this work for you? or 2 of 2 people have said this worked for them. |
