**Doll Master** is a mission for the 1st and 3rd Elements of Delta Squadron in *Airforce Delta Strike*.

## Overview

An under-construction Ballga Airbase has been under constant attack by members of the Merv Alliance; due to the importance of Ballga as a forward base, Delta is deployed to combat a new wave of enemy fighters, to drive them away and finally allow Ballga Airbase to be finished. The attacks are known to be very vicious and coordinated, hinting at the presence of a commander.

On the field, the group soon encounter Sergei Kinski. After a brief exchange with Jamie Jones, the group battle him. However, a third wave of enemy units approach, this time being lead by Albert Ungar and, to the horror of Ken Thomas, Ellen McNichol, his seemingly deceased girlfriend. In the end, the group manage to fight off the Merv Alliance, finally allowing Ballga to be completed.

## Walkthrough

Basically The "GALE", except much harder. It is recommended to be Ken in this mission, thanks to his good aircraft. You'll most likely be piloting the YF-17 Cobra in that case; a decently mobile but fragile craft. The group of enemies are divided into three waves; in the first, you're merely fighting against weak Merv goons. The second wave introduces Sergei, piloting a MiG-27K. He's a good deal more threatening than the mooks, so it's best to find him and take him down before the third wave arrives.

The third wave is preceded by a cutscene. Once it ends, if you're playing as Ken, you'll find the game pulls a HUGE jerk move on you. THE TWO ACES SPAWN *DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU.* IMMEDIATELY jerk to the left to avoid the missiles they'll fire right as gameplay resumes. Sitting still *can* work, but it's dodgy. Afterwards, you'll want to hunt Ellen down immediately; this is for the secret unlock later down the line. Take out Albert if you want, too. Ellen is piloting a J-10, while Albert is piloting the same MiG-25 from The "GALE".

After you destroy more fighters, the enemies will retreat, completing the mission.

## Reward

The reward for this mission is 70,000 credit plus a variable amount depending on the number of enemies taken out and how they were taken out. Completing this mission allows the player to go on to Phase 6 with the missions Night Blitz, Big Bird, Hyper Speed Rick, and Metro.

## Trivia

* Despite the stated importance of Ballga Airbase, you cannot actually use the airbase yourself in gameplay.
* Alex Levine is the only playable character in this mission not to have any scripted dialogue during it if not being played as.
JSF X-32

* AFD
* AFD Storm

Purchase from Febris Airbase after completing Destroy the Aerial Base (*AFD Storm*)

The **JSF X-32** is the original model of the **X-32A** that appears in *Airforce Delta* and *Airforce Delta Storm*. This is the original testbed for the JSF X-32. A mockup of the finalized model would be made, but the plane lost to the X-35 (Which would become the infamous F-35).

## Design (All Games)

### *Airforce Delta*

The X-32 in this game resembles its real life counterpart. It has the same wing design and vertical stabilizers, but noticeably, it has a much flatter profile than the real-life X-32, most likely due to the fact that the real aircraft had very few references at the time.

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

The plane now has a more proportional bottom side, being highly bulbous and round. Aside from that, the aesthetic design is around the same.

## Performance

### *Airforce Delta*

This plane has very below-average stats for something that is unlocked so late in the game. By this point, you'll have both the YF-23 and the F-22, so the big question is, why should you bother? All of its stats are mediocre, and it has nothing going for it compared to those other two craft. Even the F-15S/MT gives it a run for its money! This is the last plane you'll unlock until you complete the game as well. Ending things with a bang, huh?

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

A better showing this time around, but still nothing too special. Its stats are, again, average, but this time it has fairly impressive defense. But it's still nothing special in the end. It's unlocked by completing a hidden mission, as well. Overall, much better than its *Airforce Delta* counterpart in terms of stats, but it's still just a bit outclassed, since you'll probably have better by this point (Such as the F-15S/MT Active), which ultimately hurts its viability. Though, if you do want to use it, you won't be doing a disservice to yourself, as it does have fairly above average stats all around, especially when it comes to attack, defense and range. However, the F/A-24A Acorn ultimately outclasses it, and is unlocked without having to do a secret mission, to boot.

## Enemy Appearances (Missions)

### *Airforce Delta*

* Enemy X-32s appear in The Fort Base and The True Island Fortress. They are not required kills in either case.
* Enemy X-32s do not appear in the NTSC version of *AFD Storm*; however, in the PAL version, one appears in the secret mission Destroy the Aerial Base.

Laser

"*This is a laser that goes straight and penetrates. It's powerful.*"
―Harry's description of this weapon in the shop.
The **Laser** is a unique special weapon in *Airforce Delta Strike* which can only be used by the FLINT-ROCK. It is, ostensibly, a slightly altered Multi-Lock Air-to-Air Missile. This weapon, when selected, doesn't modify the HUD in any meaningful way, aside from the weapon swap.

## Uses

The Laser is, basically, a superior ML-AAM. The improvement mostly comes from accuracy; this weapon is much more accurate than the normal ML-AAM. As a result, it can be used much more effectively on mobile targets, and it possesses the same increased damage as the ML-AAM. However, this comes at a slight trade-off; the Laser has a slightly worse lock-on range than the ML-AAM; the same as a normal missile. However, the improved accuracy more than makes up for this. Thanks to the high damage and good accuracy, this is great for taking out multiple aircraft at once. This weapon's performance is also identical to the Axelay's Homing Laser.

### Pros

* Great for anti air
* Deals heavy damage
* Multi locking
* Better accuracy than ML-AAMs
* Lots of ammo, moreso than the ML-AAM; 100 shots

### Cons

* Cannot be used on ground targets
* Lower range than ML-AAMs

## Trivia

* In the stat table, this special weapon is spelled "Lazer" whereas in the shop, it is spelled as "Laser".
* The only differences between this weapon and the Axelay's Homing Laser is the appearance and the price; the FLINT-ROCK's Laser is yellow, while the Axelay's Homing Laser is red. Meanwhile, the Laser is 80,000 credits while the Homing Laser is cheaper at 70,000 credits.
* Harry's description is fairly inaccurate; this weapon is a homing weapon that can NOT penetrate enemies.
Jian-Ji 8 "Finback A"

"*This interceptor is a speed demon. You'll love the way it turns on a dime. But what really makes it special is this price.*"
―Harry's description of this plane in the shop.
The **Shenyang J-8** (NATO reporting name of **Finback A**) is an aircraft that only appears in *Airforce Delta Strike*, used by not only Sergei Kinski, but the Ganos Flight Army Division as well. It can also be used by Alex Levine.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The Shenyang J-8 is a Chinese interceptor that was designed to intercept high-altitude bombers, such as the B-58 Hustler, as the current J-7 was incapable of doing so. However, a multitude of turmoils politically (Notably the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution) stopped the aircraft from being introduced until 1979. (Its first flight was in 1969, for comparison) It has an alternate, updated model in the form of the J-8IIM "Finback B".

## Design

The aircraft, naturally, has a quite similar design to a MiG-21, having a similar "holed nose" air intake, and a highly narrow fuselage and single vertical stabilizer. However, this aircraft is noticeably larger than the Fishbed, and has much more impressively large wings and rear wings. It also has a twin-engined design.

## Performance

Uhh... It's okay? It's nothing horrible. Stats are okay all around, except for a pitiful Defense. It's a craft that can be usable. It's... Remarkably unremarkable stat-wise. Once you get better, most notably a Yak-141, this plane will basically cease to have a point, as that craft is superior to it in all aspects. Still, it's not horrible.

## Statistics

(Clockwise starting from top)

 **Speed:** | Medium-high

## Enemy Appearances

* The Ganos Flight Army Division uses this craft, primarily in the early game. Sergei Kinski also uses this plane as his final plane, using it in Tiger's Cave.

## Trivia

* This is the only aircraft in the game to be piloted by both normal O.C.C. pilots, and an ace (Sergei Kinski).
	+ This is also the only non-Russian plane that Sergei pilots.
Lavi

The **IAI Lavi** (Hebrew: לביא, "Young Lion") is an aircraft that appears only in *Airforce Delta Storm*, though the J-10 would ironically appear in *Airforce Delta Strike* instead of this aircraft. In the PAL version of *Storm*, the aircraft has a different paint job.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The IAI Lavi was a prototype Israeli aircraft, developed amidst some controversy with both the Israeli public due to the enormous associated costs, and particularly with the U.S. government due to competition with American jets on the export market. The project, thusly, was eventually cancelled, though it is highly believed that data of the project may have been sold to China to develop the J-10 (Though these allegations are denied).

## Design

The Lavi is a small, single-engined craft with delta wings and a single vertical stabilizer. It possesses front canards. It's a particularly small plane.

## Performance

The Lavi is a semi decent aircraft. It's unlocked for free by shooting down the unnamed ace in Assassin at Mach. Stats overall are average; compared to the J-10, all stats are basically superior (which is fitting in a cosmic-sort of way). Its lowest stat is Attack, but it still has 58 missiles, and an impressive range of 4.

## Statistics

 **Range:** | 4

*Note: There are no differences in stats between the US and PAL versions.*

## Enemy Appearances (Missions)

* An unnamed United Forces ace piloting this craft appears as the lone target in the second ace battle Assassin at Mach.

## Trivia

* Interestingly, the PAL version of this plane has a different paint job than the US version. The same is also true for several other planes, such as the the Su-30MKI.
	+ Even more interesting, the PAL version actually has a different paint job for the ace encountered in Assassin at Mach, as well. (See Gallery)

     **Spoiler Warning:** *There are spoilers for the details of the plot and/or ending in the text that follows.*

"*I got this when I was looking for a pure attack plane once. It can take a helluva beating, but is so slow birds'll pass you.*"
―Harry's description of this plane in the shop.
The **Ilyushin Il-2** is an aircraft that only appears in *Airforce Delta Strike*, where it is one of Jamie Jones' prop planes. It is also forced upon Giuseppe Ferretti after his failure in battle, and is the last plane he pilots.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The Ilyushin Il-2 is a Soviet propeller ground attack craft, produced during World War II. It has the merit of being the single most produced military craft in aviation history (when combining the numbers with the Il-10, a total of *42,330 craft* were built in total!). The craft was known to be quite inaccurate in attacking ground targets, and some battles had many losses of Il-2s while ground forces took little damage. The Il-2M3 was a variant with improved handling as a result of a slightly redesigned body.

## Design

The Il-2M3 is a typical prop plane. It has fairly wide wings for its type, and a cord running from the back of the cockpit (presumably the powerplant) to the vertical stabilizer of the craft.

## Performance

The "attacker" of the prop planes. We say that lightly because this aircraft has, predictably, very poor defenses, making ground attack... Difficult. Although it still has the same incredible mobility, it is *even slower* than other prop planes, due to the worse thrust. This aircraft is... Hard to recommend. Then again, most people wouldn't recommend playing as Jamie anyways, so... Hey, if you're dedicated to playing as him, you may as well use this. Have fun beating the nightmarishly hard Metro as Jamie to unlock this thing, though.

Northeast End

**Northeast End** is a neighborhood of Atlantic City in *Shattered 2*.

## Geography

Northeast End is bordered by Midman Heights to the west, and Perez to the southwest. It is a peninsula that juts out into the ocean, roughly based on this area.

## About

The Northeast End contains no housing, just two casinos, parking lots for them, and grass area. The two casinos in this district are based off of the Borgata and Harrah's in real life.

## Interactive places

Northeast End contains:

* 2 casinos

J 35 Draken

"*This aircraft is a double-delta fighter developed by the neutral country of Sweden in the mid-20th century. Large wing surfaces result in low wing load, giving a high degree of maneuverability to this aircraft.*"
―*Airforce Delta Storm* manual, page 24.
The **Saab 35 Draken** (Translating into both **The Kite** and **The Dragon**) is an aircraft that only appears in *Airforce Delta Storm*.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The Saab 35 Draken is a Swedish fighter aircraft developed between 1955 and 1974, and was western Europe's first fully supersonic aircraft. It was designed to replace the J 29 Tunnan and, later, the fighter variant of the J 32 Lansen. The aircraft was slowly phased out by the SAAB 35 Viggen, before being fully replaced in 1999.

## Design

The Draken is considered by plane enthusiasts to be one of the best looking planes out there. It's got a wild design, having two broad air intakes connected into the wing structure, which form two small delta shaped wings near the bottom of the craft. It's got a single engine and a single vertical stabilizer. The delta wings also help serve as both front and rear wings.

## Performance

A decent early game aircraft. It does have problems standing out, however, as other great aircraft such as the F-15S/MT Active can be obtained before you complete the mission associated with unlocking this aircraft. It's not terrible, though. It just has problems standing out amongst competition due to rather poor placement. The lone standout it has is speed. Everything else is average. In the PAL version of *Storm*, this aircraft also has the misfortune of being unlocked at the exact same time as the JA37 Viggen, which is superior to this aircraft in all aspects. Yeah...

## Statistics

 **Range:** | 2

*Note: There are no differences in stats between the US and PAL versions.*

## Enemy Appearances (Missions)

* A lone enemy Draken appears in Defensive Perimeter, in the US version. In the PAL version, one also appears in A Lingering Afterglow, though again only as an optional target.

## Trivia

F-26A Shrike

The **F-26A Shrike** is yet another fictional plane that appears exclusively in *Airforce Delta Storm*. It is an aircraft with above average performance that appears late in the game, like many others.

## Design

Like the YF-26ER Swan, this aircraft seems to be derived from the X-36. The Shrike may be a prototype of the Swan in some department, considering their highly similar appearances and performance. The Shrike has much straighter wings than the Swan, and the engine is not located underneath of a protrusion. The vertical stabilizers also have a more traditional design and are slanted outwards. The plane bears a mild resemblance to the Jade Knight from the *Gradius* games.

## Performance

This is a plane that exists. That's... Really all we can say about it. Compared to the Swan, the only stat this plane is superior in is speed, especially in the PAL version (Since the Swan was nerfed in that department in that version). Aside from that, everything is inferior compared to the Swan. It's just... Such an unremarkable plane. It's certainly not bad, but considering the Swan can be unlocked at around the same point... Why bother? Really? It's a little more expensive than this, but... Who cares? Only get this plane if you really just like how it looks. And it does look pretty cool.

"*It's a little pricey, but this Rolls Royce of early fighters does have good maneuverability for its size.*"
―Harry's description of this plane in the shop.
The **Mitsubishi F-2** is an aircraft that appears in *Airforce Delta Storm* and *Airforce Delta Strike*, usable by Ken Thomas in the latter.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The Mitsubishi F-2 is a Japanese multirole aircraft, derived from the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It is sometimes known as the **Viper Zero**. The craft was introduced in 2000, and it possessed the first active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, the J/APG-1; notable in this regard for beating out the F/A-22 Raptor by a few years.

## Design

As to be expected, the F-2A looks nearly identical to the F-16; Same design with a twin-winged design with a single vertical stabilizer, a single engine, and a large air intake under the nose. The F-2A is a tad larger than the F-16, however.

## Performance

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

A strong performer. It's got good mobility and defense stats, but it's hamstrung a tad by sub-par range at this point in the game. Stats are above average all around, but it's hard to compete with crafts like the F/A-18S AiraCobra II, the F-22 Raptor, and the MiG-1.44 MFI, which you might have unlocked at this point. Still, it's by no means bad.

### *Airforce Delta Strike*

A good performer. This craft is noteworthy for being Ken's most durable, sitting at a pretty 3800 HP. This alone gives it a niche. It's also one of Ken's very few good anti-ground planes. However, it's unlocked fairly late into the game, which hurts its usefulness a good bit. But if you need anti-ground as Ken, this is the plane to go to, by far.

Jaguar GR1

"*A handy support fighter capable of both aerial combat and ground attacks. Unfortunately, it excels at neither.*"
―Harry's description of this plane in the shop.
The **SEPECAT Jaguar** is an aircraft that only appears in *Airforce Delta Strike*, where it is usable by Holst Prendre and Pedro Glankert.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The SEPECAT Jaguar is a British/French attack aircraft, originally used by both air forces for a close air support and nuclear strike role. A carrier based version was planned, but it was replaced by the Super Étendard. The GR1 model was a single-seat all-weather tactical strike version with a variety of enhancements. The craft was retired in by its primary users in the mid 2000s, but it is still in service with India.

## Design

The Jaguar is a decently large aircraft with two impressively sized wings. It has a single vertical stabilizer punctuated with two rear wings, with the engines of the craft located beneath the protrusion that contains the wings. The most notable feature, however, is its 2 over-wing hardpoints, a very uncommon design choice amongst fighters as it makes rearming more difficult and cannot launch ordnances effectively when pulling Gs.

## Performance

This is basically the Rocket plane for those who don't want either a pathetically slow craft or an aircraft that only has basically 35 shots. Stats are decent all around, it's got good defenses and mobility, afterburners despite being somewhat slow, and missiles to fall back on in case you need them. All around a solid aircraft that puts up solid competition with the F-105D Thunderchief.

Hypre Mode

"*This is great when you want some change. You may call it a mysterious power.*"
―Harry's description of this weapon in the shop.
The **Hypre Mode** is a unique special weapon in *Airforce Delta Strike* which can only be used by the Aura-Wing. The weapon itself is a simple lock-on weapon that deals heavy damage. This weapon, when selected, doesn't modify the HUD in any meaningful way, aside from the weapon swap.

## Uses

This weapon is a fairly basic weapon; it's a typical lock-on weapon that deals heavy damage and can only be used on aircraft. The only major differences between this and weapons such as the High-Maneuvering Air-to-Air Missile is the fact that this weapon deals heavy damage (enough to one-shot most enemies), but has slightly lower accuracy as a trade-off. Otherwise, it's a fairly simple, mundane special weapon.

### Pros

* Decent at anti air
* Heavy damage
* Lots of ammo; 120 shots

### Cons

* Can only be used on air targets
* Middling accuracy

## Trivia

* This special weapon, in the shop, is spelled as "Hypre Mode", but in-game, it is spelled as "Hyper".
Pacboy Poops

**Pacboy Poops** is an unseen character in *Shattered 2*. He is an internet celebrity and professional video editor and remixer. He creates YouTube Poops (YTPs), which are a form of video remixing. Pacboy served as a guest on The Sharx Tank radio show on 99.6 The Javelin, a radio station which the player can listen to. He is a real person that Chris6d knows in real life.
Force Scout/Team Bravo

### Reward(s)

20,000 + variable amount depending on number of enemies shot down as well as the type of weapon used

### Music

Intercept mission music 2

**Team Bravo** is an Intercept mission prior to Force Scout for Ken Thomas and Ruth Valentine in *Airforce Delta Strike*. Like all other Intercept missions, this mission cannot be replayed in Free Mission mode.

## Overview

On the way to the Haben Ravine, Delta and Bravo squadron are intercepted by a large group of Ganos Flight Army Division scouts. The five planes do battle against the nine squadron formation, managing to shoot them all down before proceeding to the Haben Ravine.

## Walkthrough

One of the more crowded Intercept missions, this mission pits you against nine aircraft. However, you've got four allies with you (three if you're playing as Ken), so it's not too bad. This will just waste some of your ammo, and possibly health (Which is honestly meaningless considering the nature of Force Scout). Just shoot the enemies down at your leisure, or just kick back and let your allies do it.

## Enemy List

 Jian-Ji 8 "Finback A" | 3
 Jian-Ji 8IIM "Finback B" | 3

## Reward

The reward for the mission is 20,000 credits plus a variable amount depending on how many planes were shot down as well as the type of weapon used to shoot them down. Progression to Force Scout is also unlocked.

## Trivia

* If the player plays this Intercept mission as Ken, Ruth does not appear as an NPC ally for unknown reasons, though Ken does appear as an NPC ally if Ruth is being played as.
High-Maneuvering Air-to-Air Missile

"*This is a high-performance missile with a sophisticated tracking system. But beware that this can only be used for targets in the air.*"
―Harry's description of this weapon in the shop.
The **High-Maneuvering Air-to-Air Missile** is a missile-type special weapon in *Airforce Delta Strike*. This weapon speaks for itself, for the most part; it's an anti air weapon that fires highly accurate missiles. These missiles have much thinner exhaust than the normal missiles in flight. They turn more sharply than normal missiles, but generally deal the same damage. This weapon, when selected, doesn't modify the HUD in any meaningful way, aside from the weapon swap.

This is the most common missile type special weapon, being used by 20 aircraft. This makes it the second most common special weapon, behind the Unguided Bomb.

This weapon is fairly pricey, costing around 50,000 credits for most craft.

This weapon is one of very few special weapons to have an ammo difference among craft; while nearly all normal planes have 20 missiles, the Seeker only has six. This is also one of the exceedingly rare situations where an ammo difference occurs with a normal aircraft and not a Konami Legacy plane.

## Uses

As mentioned, this is strictly an anti air weapon; it cannot be used on ground targets. These weapons are great for dealing with fast, maneuverable targets that normal missiles can't keep up. Just lock onto them with these babies and let them rip. You'll generally destroy them. The missiles are also about as powerful as a normal missile. The only major downside aside from the ammo and the inability to target ground enemies with this, is that there is a superior version of this weapon in the Long-Ranged Air-to-Air Missile. Aside from that, a great weapon.

### Pros

* Great at anti air combat
* Highly accurate against air targets
* Can be used identically to normal missiles

### Cons

* Cannot be used on ground targets
* Only 20 missiles for most craft

Blood Trail/Transcript

*[James calls Joey on his bluetooth.]*

**JOEY:** Everything alright? I just saw on the news that you stopped the Ululator raid in Ashkon Industrial Park! People are starting to realize that you’re not bad! I told you being good pays off!

**JAMES:** Yeah but…

**JOEY:** This is great!

**JAMES:** Joey. People are still fearing me. My work’s not nearly finished.

*[All of a sudden, we hear very loud sirens from fire engines through the bluetooth.]*

**JOEY:** Wow! There are a lot of emergency vehicles out! Something definitely happened.

**JAMES:** I’m on it.

*[James heads to Downtown and sees that there are a bunch of emergency vehicles outside the Syx Hotel. The area is closed off. James drops in and talks to an EMT, who sounds nervous.]*

**JAMES:** What happened here?

**EMT:** We think Travis Ululator killed someone in there. Someone important. It may have been the mayor, he was staying at the hotel. We don’t know.

**JAMES:** Why would the mayor stay at the same hotel as the most dangerous and feared killer in the city? Why is Travis allowed to stay at the hotel at all? I'm telling you, this city's corrupt.

**EMT:** We don’t know. He probably threatened someone.

*[James sighs and runs in the hotel. The lobby is empty, closed off and very messy. James heads to the elevators and sees the elevators aren’t working. He uses the stairs and gets up to the 19th floor, where he notices blood on the floor.]*

**JAMES:** Blood trail. I should follow it.

*[James follows the blood trail to Room 404. There is a pile of blood on the floor and bed.]*

**JAMES:** This was Travis’ room. But the question is: is that his blood or someone else’s?

*[A cop comes in the room.]*

**JAMES:** Officer. Check who’s blood this is.

*[The officer examines the blood on the bed with a device.]*

**OFFICER:** Someone named Elsa Welchers. No other known names.

**JAMES:** Check the blood trail.

*[The officer examines the blood trail with the same device.]*

**OFFICER:** Travis Ululator.

*[There's a dramatic suspense sound.]*

**JAMES:** Oh my God. Travis. This could be the very element to take Travis down once and for all.

**OFFICER:** What do you think happened, though?

**JAMES:** Well I don't know, you’re the officer. Have a team of guys check the area for now. If this trail leads to Travis, I’m gonna make him talk until he’s surrendering with one finger.

*[James jumps out of the open window and using his thrusters, carefully lands on a rooftop below.]*
JAS 39 Gripen

* AFD
* AFD Storm

The **Saab JAS 39 Gripen** (Translating into **Griffin**) is an aircraft that has appeared in *Airforce Delta* and *Airforce Delta Storm*, but was dropped for *Airforce Delta Strike*.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a Swedish light single-engine multirole aircraft, designed to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen. Improved models of the aircraft are made to this day, with the latest version being the Gripen E/F, developed in 2014.

## Design

A notably small craft, this is a single-engined craft with twin delta wings, a single vertical stabilizer, and two front canards. It is one of the smaller modern fighter craft today. This aircraft could be considered a modernized, streamlined version of the JA37 Viggen (to which this aircraft was made to replace), considering their basic structure is nigh identical.

## Performance

### *Airforce Delta*

A good plane that, like many planes from this game, suffers from the fact it's unlocked after the almighty F-15S/MT Active. It has very high speed and great mobility, but... So does the F-15S/MT. And the latter has higher defenses and power than this thing. Hell, it's got better speed and mobility than this thing, too. It's not a bad plane, it's just... Sadly outclassed. It's better than its appearance in the next game, though... Read below for that can of worms.

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

One of the most baffling downgrades to ever grace a plane. This plane went from being a fast glass cannon to being... A bad plane. All of its stats are medium, the only stat to reach "High" is Speed, and it has a *range of one*. And it's unlocked in the second half of the game!! This thing somehow manages to be worse than an F-16!! Hell, the Lavi you unlock in the first chapter has better stats than this thing in almost every aspect! It has *slightly* worse speed, but y'know what?? It's got great defense and **four range!** This thing is a complete waste of your money, don't bother with it outside of game completion. What a disgrace to a great plane.

## Statistics

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

 **Range:** | 1

*Note: There are no differences in stats between the US and PAL versions.*

## Enemy Appearances (Missions)

### *Airforce Delta*

* A recurring target JAS39 appears in Dogfight and The Mountain Base. Other, optional JAS39s appear in The Ice Floe Base and The True Island Fortress.

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

* Enemy JAS 39s appear in Electronic Darkness and Oppression as optional kills. They also appear in Surprise Attack and random Intercepts in the second chapter.

Dreamcast

The **Dreamcast** is a console that was released by Sega in 1998. It was the company's last video game console before they began to focus only on software. The console enjoyed success in North America and Europe, but less so in its country of origin, Japan. On March 30, 2001, the console was discontinued, but leftover stock continued to sell until 2007.

The first game in the *Airforce Delta* series, the original *Airforce Delta*, was released on this console in Japan and North America in 1999, and in Europe in 2000.
Arsenal ship

The **Arsenal ship** is a type of naval ship in *Airforce Delta Storm*.

## Notable Appearances in Missions

All Delete Block

### Role

Anti Everything, immediately induces a special Mission Over that counts as a completion. (Behaves similarly to a Wide Area Mass Destruction Rocket otherwise)

### Cost

1,500,000 credits

"*This is perfect for someone who wants to straighten his life.*"
―Harry's description of this weapon in the shop.
The **All Delete Block** is a unique special weapon in *Airforce Delta Strike* which can only be used by the Block Shooter. It is one of the strangest weapons in the game for its rather unorthodox use. Upon selecting the weapon, a cross appears on the screen, showing a rough estimate of where the weapon will aim upon being fired, yet this is mostly irrelevant.

## Uses

This weapon... instantly wins the level. No, seriously. Upon using the weapon, a large white block is fired that explodes like a Wide Area Mass Destruction Rocket. However, as it explodes, the screen goes white, and afterwards an explosion is heard and a "MISSION OVER" is granted, which counts as completing the mission.

However, this comes with a cost; after using this weapon, it destroys the Block Shooter and removes the special weapon, forcing you to cough up an incredibly hefty sum to repair and rearm the craft (The 600,000 it costs to repair the craft plus the 1.5 million needed to re-purchase the weapon!). However, considering it's practically an instant win button that allows you to complete any mission instantaneously... do you care?

Using this weapon with Mother Ship (during the campaign) has... Interesting consequences. You will complete Mother Ship and proceed to Inside as normal, but the Block Shooter you are controlling will literally have 1 HP. And no All Delete Block. Needless to say, it's the one time you DON'T want to use the weapon in the game...

### Cons

* Destroys your craft, and you must repair and repurchase the weapon, which costs a lot of money.

## Trivia

* This is the single most expensive item in *Airforce Delta Strike*, at 1.5 million credits.
* This special weapon seems to be based off of a game mechanic from the *Quarth* arcade game where glowing white blocks, when filled in, would clear out all other blocks from the game board.
* In the Aircraft Viewer, this special weapon behaves identically to the Wide Area Mass Destruction Rocket.
Jian-Ji 6Jin

"*Granted this plane may seem ancient, but it can still hold its own in a dogfight. How about it? It's a good buy.*"
―Harry's description of this plane in the shop.
The **Shenyang J-6** (NATO reporting name of **Farmer**) is an aircraft that only appears in *Airforce Delta Strike*, where it is usable by Rick Campbell.

## Origin (Real-Life)

The Shenyang J-6 is a Chinese variation of the MiG-19 (Which had the same reporting name). The MiG-19 had a short service life, but China liked the aircraft's agility and powerful cannons, so they took it to use for their own. The aircraft was designed to be disposable, intended to only be operated for approximately 100 hours (or 100 sorties) before needing an overhaul. It was retired in the late 1990s.

## Design

It's literally just the MiG-19PFM. Same design in more or less all aspects; long swept wings, single vertical stabilizer, holed-nose air intake, twin engine... More or less the same design on the surface.

## Performance

A very mediocre craft. To be totally fair, it's superior to the aircraft it's based on, at least... But that says literally nothing because the MiG-19PFM was bottom of the barrel. This merely brushes against the bottom. It has guided weapons and vulcans, but the stats are just... Mediocre, and can't compare to the Lightning F6 you already have by default. Bleh.

Compared to the MiG-19PFM, this aircraft, aside from having vulcans and missiles, only has an increase in anti air and anti ground. And that's most likely only because of the missiles and vulcans this aircraft has as opposed to the rockets of the MiG-19PFM. Yeah.

## Trivia

* There is no model known as the "6Jin"; a possible explanation for this is that it is a mistranslation of "J-6 Xin", a possible designation for the J-6III model. The J-6III is an advanced version of the J-6A, with improved radome location.
Falsion

The **Falsion** is a Konami Legacy plane that only appears in *Airforce Delta Strike*. It was originally featured as the player's eponymous craft in Konami's 1987 on-rail 3D shoot-'em-up *Falsion* for the Nintendo Famicom Disk System.

## Design

The Falsion has a solid white paint scheme with a pale red nose and vertical stabilizer. The craft itself is fairly interesting in its design, with forward-swept wings. It only has a single engine and a vertical stabilizer, as well as four strangely shaped air intakes near the engines. It also has visible machine guns, being large and protruding from under the craft itself.

## Performance

The Falsion's stats are quite good all around and it's armed with the best special weapon for air-to-air combat, the Long-Ranged Air-to-Air Missile. Not only that, but it has *80* of them! It also has 100 normal missiles and an okay anti ground attack stat. A very decent Konami Legacy plane overall.

 **Speed:** | Medium

## Trivia

* The music that plays whenever this plane is used is a soundtrack from *Falsion* titled "The First Space Flight".
* When the player pauses the game while using this plane, a unique pause sound which was also used for older Konami games is used and the music stops. This trait is shared with the VIC VIPER in space missions and the Aura-Wing.
* Although this plane is unlocked for free, this plane's price would technically be 844,000 credits due to how repair prices for planes are calculated (50% of the plane's cost to purchase, hundred-digit numbers rounded up).
M1 Abrams

The **M1 Abrams** is a type of tank in *Airforce Delta* and *Airforce Delta Storm*.

## Notable Appearances in Missions

### *Airforce Delta*

It appears in the Silvan Fortress, Escort Mission, Oil Refinery Seizure and Military Supply Base missions.

### *Airforce Delta Storm*

It appears in the Under a Cloud Umbrella and Offensive in the Saice Canal missions.

### Reward(s)

20,000 credits + variable amount depending on what type of weapon was used to take out enemies

### Music

     **Spoiler Warning:** *There are spoilers for the details of the plot and/or ending in the text that follows.*

**"Counter attack" The Newbie** is an Intercept mission for 2nd Element in *Airforce Delta Strike* that plays prior to Fleet Attack. Like all other Intercept missions, this mission cannot be replayed in Free Mission mode.

## Overview

On route to Port Erythrae, 2nd Element encounters a small element of vessels already out to sea. After pondering whether to continue as fragged or divert, it is decided that the group of vessels would be a "mid-mission bonus", and they destroy all four of the vessels. They then proceed with the mission.

## Walkthrough

Like other early-game intercepts, this is relatively easy. There are only four vessels to destroy; although, you should be careful as they can fire missiles at you. Regardless, if you're playing as either character, their plane is more than enough to deal with the group of vessels, though unless you're on NG+, you won't have any special weapons. Still, it's not that bad.

## Reward

The reward for this mission is 20,000 credits plus a variable amount depending on how the enemies were taken out. Progression to Fleet Attack is also unlocked.

## Trivia

* This is the only intercept to take place on a map tile that has a different designation than the mission it plays before (PC-14 as opposed to OB-24).
* Like the mission location itself, on the map, the name of the harbor is mispelled as "Erythraei" as opposed to "Erythrae".
* The area used for this mission is also used for some Stand by missions, all of which feature an O.C.C. ace or two.
