Fuckin’ Ace Combat 8, man. Fuck Shadow 22 in his god damned ear
Look, you can give me a mission where I have to shoot down a thousand trash planes, or you can give me a mission where I have to shoot down one unkillable super ace. BUT YOU CAN’T PUT BOTH IN THE SAME MISSION
UPDATE: Turns out this mission is just a dumb puzzle. Do it with a plane that can carry the SASM special armament and it becomes drop dead simple

That's interesting, so this implies there are no other proximity-fused weapons? Weird, I'd expect a video game to allow some trick shot using the range-safety detonation to do the same trick. (PS: if that works, let me know; too clumsy to play video games.)
You don't even have to carry the SASM from the jump. Start the mission with something like the 4AAM to knock down all the trash mobs, then land and reload with the SASM when you reach the mission-end fight against Shadow squadron. The F-15C can carry both.
Hashtag you're welcome
@jalefkowit there’s also some tricks in the parts you use, plus today is the day that Peoject Aces took away Shadow 22’s Costco sized flare dispenser
@flyingsaceur WHAT. Did I just finally get past it yesterday because they nerfed the damn thing
@jalefkowit [record
scratch / freeze frame] Yep, that’s me. Bouncing off the goddamn runway trying to land, pop flares, and high g turn at the same time
And fuck Magnolia flight for not holding position over the goddamn island we are defending
@jalefkowit kind of douchebag who would gather the entire South Waiapolo Air Force to yell at them about Nomad Ethos
