GAUNTLET

A new choice has been added to

Strike Commander’s

TRAINING

MISSION

screen. In addition to

DOGFIGHT and SEARCH-AND-

DESTROY, you can also choose

GAUNTLET.

When you choose

GAUNTLET, you

immediately find yourself in the

air against two SU-27s, two MiG-

29s and two F-4s. Anytime you

eliminate any pair of opponents,

another pair flies into action. All

pairs will be fighters, but the

fighter types will vary from pair

to pair. The gauntlet continues

until you run out of fuel, are shot

down or eject.

Your opponents are always Aces at the highest level of difficulty. You have four -9J

missiles and 1000 rounds of ammunition. Enemy fighters have only their standard

cannon ammunition rounds, except for F-4s. Each F-4 that appears has its standard

cannon ammunition, plus two -9Js. When you finally succumb to the gauntlet, your score

is displayed. Good luck!

Your score is based on how many enemies you shoot down, modified by the settings you

use (e.g.,

MID

AIR COLLISIONS

EASY GUN HITS

). The more settings you use to make play

easier, the lower the value of each kill. The base value for each kill with a missile is 500

points. The base value for each gun kill is 750 points. Each option that you use from the

following list reduces the value of your kills:

COCKPIT GAMEPLAY

AUTO TARGETING ON -1/2% UNLIMITED AMMO ON -99.5%

360° LOCK ON -2% EASY GUN HITS ON -5%

SMART TARGETING ON -1% ENEMY INTELLIGENCE:

SUN GLARE OFF -1/2% VETERAN -5%

G EFFECTS OFF -1/2% ROOKIE -10%

SMART RADAR ON -1.5%

360° RADAR ON -1% FLIGHT

SMART RAW SCOPE ON -1% MID-AIR COLLISIONS OFF -1%

EASY LANDINGS ON -1/2%

STALLS OFF -1/2%

Note that some of these options (e.g., EASY LANDINGS) have no effect on the Gauntlet.

However, this is a close variation of the scoring system that is active during regular

gameplay, so if you have

EASY LANDINGS or other similar options activated, they will

reduce your score, even though they don’t aid your performance in the Gauntlet. Be sure

to select the most difficult setting for options like this during a Gauntlet run.
