"...Now, without using UPEO, the wars can begin."

― Gilbert Park

Pawns in the Game is the 14th mission in the original version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere and the 5th mission in the UPEO (III) story arc.

Mission Story

"Suddenly, news broke that General Resource's CEO Nascimento had died. With their top leader gone, there was a possibility that an internal conflict would break out within General Resource as they fought for his position. That infighting could also possibly lead to an all-out war with Neucom. The order was given to SARF to destroy General Resource's weapons factory and temporarily halt its operation."

― Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere - Namco Official Guide Book

Briefing

Infighting at General Resource
has made full-scale war a possibility.
We're attacking General Resource's weapons plants
before they become a problem.
For this mission, you will fly
Neucom's new "Orcinus" Aero-Coffin as a field test.
Time your bombing runs
to the radar jamming by the "Sphyrna" ECM aerial carrier.
...Dismissed, good luck to you all.

Aircraft Selection

R-211 Orcinus

Objectives

The mission's primary targets is a General Resource armory, namely two power plants and seven radar sites. The player is supported by the Sphyrna which jams the radar network to assist in the attack. As the jamming wears off, the player must climb to a safe altitude of 12,600 feet and wait for the Sphyrna to resume jamming.

Being below 12,600 feet when the jamming wears off will result in the player being detected by radar, and having numerous enemy fighters appear.

The mission ends when both power plants and all seven radar sites have been destroyed. If the player remained undetected by radar, they are awarded Mission Accomplished. If the player was detected by radar, they are awarded Mission Over.
