Game Play
You are sitting in the cockpit on the catapult aboard the Vinson. Radar has detected Iranian fighters headed for the fleet. Launch immediately after Lead on an intercept course programmed into your computer. Use the radar and map to locate the enemy aircraft that are approaching. There is no need to visually identify them. A blip is an enemy. Use your missiles within range parameters and start shooting aircraft as soon as you can. If fired upon, it will most likely be an IR missile and your flare decoys should defeat it if you maneuver. Kill them before they get within launch range of the carrier.
Return to the Vinson and trap.
