Sea of Chaos

"A group of comrades has come to our aide. Protect these brave souls! Commence battle. We are not alone!"

Sea of Chaos is the 27th campaign mission in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, but is treated as Mission 26 in the game. The player must destroy a fleet of Yuktobanian ships and a fleet of Osean ships threatening the OFS Kestrel and her battle group.

Objectives[]

The player's objective is to destroy all enemy ships and aircraft. While there are allied Yuktobanian ships joining the player, their survival is not required for the mission.

After the player sinks seven Yuke ships, an Osean fleet and supporting aircraft will appear and become TGTs. The mission will end in success when all TGTs in both fleets are destroyed.

S Rank[]

Earning an S rank on this mission requires completing it in 9 minutes or less.^[1] It is highly recommended to use an aircraft equipped with LASMs in order to sink all of the ships in a short amount of time. The Rafale M and F-35C Lightning II are best, since they come equipped with 14 LASMs, the most in the game.
