''Is everyone here? Settle down. I said settle down! You have all been instrumental in helping to maintain peace in [[Usea]] as members of the [[IUN|International Union Peacekeeping Force]]. Until today. Earlier, our radar site informed us that a group of unidentified aircraft was approaching. Communications systems went down immediately afterwards. We are led to conclude that they have attacked the site. Here's your mission. It's possible that the Usean ceasefire agreement has been broken for the first time in over a decade. As of today, the Fort Grays Air Base Squadron of the IUPF has been put on high alert. All members who have been ordered to sortie, fly there immediately. Find the unidentified craft, then use your weapons to round them up and force them to land. If the hostiles counterattack, then you will...''

''We are currently assessing the damage to the base. We have confirmed that the [[aircraft carrier]] [[Albatross]] was sunk. We know the attacking bogeys were from [[Erusea]]. International Union Peacekeeping Force bases all over the Usean continent were attacked in the same way. The damage is severe. Many wars are lost by failing to recover from the opening blows. That means successfully retaliating was very important. You may have turned the tides of battle here. You have our thanks.''

The maximum Time Bonus the player can earn in this mission is 10,230 points, awarded for completing the mission (including checkpoint restarts) in a total of 4 minutes and 50 seconds or less. If the player completes the mission in that time or faster, they only need 10,270 points from destroying enemies in the mission to earn the S rank. Since the bombers only account for 10,200 points, the rest must be earned by shooting down MIG-21s.

It is believed that completing the mission in less than 5 minutes 30 seconds with 11,500 points or more will guarantee an S Rank.

  +
If the player takes longer than 4 minutes and 50 seconds to complete the mission, the Time Bonus decreases by 30 points per second, so the player must compensate by destroying more enemies to hit the 20,500 point threshold.

Charge Assault is the first campaign mission of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. The player takes off and engages enemy bombers over Fort Grays Island.

Objectives

The player's only objective in this mission is to shoot down all Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers. The bombers are marked as TGT and are located throughout the map. Each one is positioned in a way to help the player learn the basics of combat through a tutorial presented by on-screen text and other characters. Some of the bombers are defended by MiG-21bis's, but these are non-critical to the mission. The mission is completed once the player shoots down all bombers.

S Rank

See also: User blog:Qbicle/S Rank Methods in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Earning an S Rank on this mission requires earning a combined Destruction Score and Time Bonus of 20,500 points or more.

The maximum Time Bonus the player can earn in this mission is 10,230 points, awarded for completing the mission (including checkpoint restarts) in a total of 4 minutes and 50 seconds or less. If the player completes the mission in that time or faster, they only need 10,270 points from destroying enemies in the mission to earn the S rank. Since the bombers only account for 10,200 points, the rest must be earned by shooting down MIG-21s.

If the player takes longer than 4 minutes and 50 seconds to complete the mission, the Time Bonus decreases by 30 points per second, so the player must compensate by destroying more enemies to hit the 20,500 point threshold. Since the maximum points from destroying enemies in the mission is 13,060 (not including the ace), the player cannot earn the S rank if they take 6 minutes and 23 seconds or longer to complete the mission.

Trivia

  • At the beginning of the mission, the player can see multiple vehicles deploying in response to the attack. These vehicles do not disappear; rather, they have unique destinations that they will move to during the course of the mission. For example, two CH-47 helicopters take off and move to a burning radar tower on an island north of the air base. They hover there until the conclusion of the mission.
  • A flock of scarlet macaws flies past the player's aircraft after the taxiing cutscene.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The player must have completed this mission at least once, and must be playing on Normal difficulty or higher. Destroy the third wave of TU-95s and MIG-21s with the 4AAM, 6AAM, or 8AAM. PYRO spawns in the northwest at the same time as Wave 4.
