The player needs to destroy three buildings marked as {{TGT}}s to complete the first phase of the mission. The facility is guarded by several air defense units and fighter jets, and there are many solar panels that can also be destroyed, but they are not critical to the mission.
While there are numerous surface targets that can be destroyed - the majority of which are low-point-rewarding solar panels - there are only three facilities labeled TGT. All the player has to do is destroy these three targets and they're done. However, if the player wishes to achieve the S-rank, it's best to first take out the AA defenses (such as the flak guns and SAMs), and then perform a bombing run on the clusters of solar panels. The bandits flying around the facility can also be engaged.

===Mission Update===
Once the three TGTs are destroyed, [[Stonehenge]], the railgun system that became the catalyst for the war, will attack the player for the first time in the game. In order to avoid Stonehenge's attacks, the player must drop to an altitude below 2,000 feet and return to base; the only way to do this is by flying inside the nearby ravine. By evading helicopter and fighter attacks and flying carefully through the ravine, the player completes the mission once they cross the return line.

===Standard Units===
Achieving an S rank is fairly simple in this mission. The player must simply takeout all of the ground facilities and maybe a few aircraft. The solar panels are the lowest value targets, but also the easiest to destroy. A few shots from the aircraft gun are enough to take them out. RCLs and bomblet dispensers work very effectively as well. Remember to keep the three TGTs until the very end so as not to be cut off from a good source of points. It is also recommended to take out the enemy ace, who is worth a fair amount of points as well.

Deep Strike is the seventh campaign mission of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. This mission is mainly an air-to-ground operation; it is also the first time the player encounters an attack from Stonehenge.

Briefing

Your next mission is to attack the solar powered generator plants in the Faith Park region. These generators equal nuclear ones in output, and provide about 60% of the energy for the Erusians' [sic] military industrial complexes. Since they do not require oil or uranium supplies, we cannot stop power production by interdicting their supply lines. This deep strike mission will not only cripple the Erusians' [sic] industrial output, but also divert attention from our own imminent invasion plans.

Objectives

The player needs to destroy three buildings marked as TGTs to complete the first phase of the mission. The facility is guarded by several air defense units and fighter jets, and there are many solar panels that can also be destroyed, but they are not critical to the mission.

Mission Update

Once the three TGTs are destroyed, Stonehenge will commence bombardment over the mission area. The player should drop to an altitude below 2,000 feet and fly through the ravines in order to avoid Stonehenge's attacks. The mission is complete when the player successfully passes through the Return Line at the southern edge of the map.

S Rank

An S rank for this mission requires 1,540 points on Normal difficulty or above (1,140 points on Easy difficulty or below).[1][2] Destroy as many non-TGT enemies as possible to obtain the required score.

Debriefing

The mission succeeded, but the combat losses due to Stonehenge were higher than expected. Victory will elude us until it is eliminated.

Trivia

  • During the mission briefing, the ISAF arrow crosses over Stonehenge's attack radius; the circle flashes for a brief moment, foreshadowing Stonehenge's impending attack.
    • The debriefing officer says that losses due to Stonehenge had been expected, even though nothing was said about Stonehenge attacking in the pre-mission briefing.
  • The first wave of attacks from Stonehenge do not cause any harm, so you may fly above 2,000 feet until the next one.[citation needed]

Footnotes

  1. Solar panels can be destroyed with a single shot from the gun.
  2. The player must have completed the campaign, and must be playing on Normal difficulty or higher. De Vico appears to the far north of the plant.
