Game Play

An unexpected counter attack by Iranian armor generates a call for close air support against mobile armor. You have just the right weaponry for this threat. Launch immediately from the Makin Island and follow the programmed course at full throttle to the area of the fire fight. There are numerous targets but the most dangerous are the T-72 and T-55 tanks. Ural truck carry troops are also important. Beware of SA-7 missiles. You have decoys that should protect you. You and your wingman should be able to neutralize the attack then return to the Makin Island to land.
