Dark Star is the fourteenth mission in Ace Combat 2. It is also the first mission of the Operation "B"ELLISSIMA branch.
Briefing[]
Thanks to your tremendous achievements, our forces are now deep within enemy territory. Naturally we expect heavy resistance as we advanced in our invasion. In order to take the dominant position, we want to confuse the enemy by making simultaneous strikes with two separate forces. This mission is code-named: Operation "B"ELLISSIMA. Your mission is to pursue the transport plane currently involved in an enemy operation.
Target: The enemy transport plane unit
There are many escort fighters guarding the unit, and the effectiveness of our radar will be reduced due to poor atmospheric conditions. Keep your eyes open!
Objectives[]
Apart from the three "EF-2000 D.R.2000", all other aircraft are marked TGT on the map. However, poor weather conditions render the player aircraft's radar largely ineffective below cloud level. Flying to a high altitude above the clouds will restore radar function. Alternatively, the player can also consider hiring a Wingman with the "Engage enemy aircraft." command to help track enemy aircraft.[1]
