Pipeline Destruction is the eighth campaign mission of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. The player is tasked with destroying Erusea's fuel production facilities.

Briefing

Attention! If you disobeyed orders in the previous mission, line up over there! You won't disobey a second time. Do not test my patience. The biggest threat to our forces is the enemy's enormous swarm of drones. In order for our forces to penetrate deep into Erusean territory, we'll need to clear a path. You will destroy the enemy's fuel plant. HQ has found evidence that fuel is being moved intermittently inland from a refinery at the harbor in Artiglio. It's likely they're supplying fuel for the various drone bases. Those of you whose food privileges were taken away already know how this goes: we silence the drones by taking their fuel. Enter via the estuary, take out their AA, destroy the fuel points on both sides of the river, and the oil tankers. Remember: you're not bona fide military; you're expendable.

Objectives

Initial

The Player must continuously destroy Oil Processing and Storage facilities as well as Tankers and Anti-Air weapons and Interceptors until the five-minute timer runs out. If a set number of Points is not reached when the Timer runs out, the mission will fail; if 22000 or more points are scored, after the timer runs out a cutscene will play.

Mission Update

The player will spawn facing three Tanker Trucks. Shortly after, they and all other 17 Tanker Trucks on the Map will become TGTs. Because of Megastorm Inessa, a large Sandstorm and Dust Cloud conceal the ground, causing the Tanker Convoys to only visible on radar in random intervals. After 10 Tanker Trucks are destroyed, a number of MQ-99s will spawn to the North and start harassing friendly troops. Once all Tanker Trucks are destroyed, the mission ends in Victory.

Debriefing

The mission was a success. There's nothing more i need to say. Dismissed. [Pause] So, it looks like we're getting attention from above. If any credit is due, it should come to me. Prisoners deserve nothing.

S Rank

Earning an S Rank on this mission requires earning at least 29,000 points and completing the mission in less than 10 minutes.

Footnotes

  1. The player must have completed this mission at least once, and must be playing on Normal difficulty or higher. Destroy all oil facilities before the Timer runs out in the first part of the mission. GAZELLE will spawn to the north with the UAVs.
