The campaign puts you through 20 DACT engagements over the course of 10 sorties. Each sortie consists of two 5-minute engagements against a specific target type. A hard deck of 10,000' is in effect and you are required to follow proper check-in/check-out and ROE procedures. “Wining” does not necessarily mean gunning the target down — it is actually ''their'' task to take ''you'' out, and surviving or forcing them to break off or go below the hard deck is enough to count as a mission kill in your favour. Remember: you are the opposition; they are the ones trying to complete the task of quickly dispatching you. | The campaign puts you through 20 DACT engagements over the course of 10 sorties.

The missions
The campaign puts you through 20 DACT engagements over the course of 10 sorties. Each sortie consists of two 5-minute engagements against a specific target type. A hard deck of 10,000' is in effect and you are required to follow proper check-in/check-out and ROE procedures. “Wining” does not necessarily mean gunning the target down — it is actually their task to take you out, and surviving or forcing them to break off or go below the hard deck is enough to count as a mission kill in your favour. Remember: you are the opposition; they are the ones trying to complete the task of quickly dispatching you.
- Familiarisation flight of the NTTR — if you do not know your TACAN, you will fail already here.
- Guns-only 1v1 against 2× aggressor F-5E:s.
- Guns-only 1v1 against 2× Luftwaffe F-4E:s.
- Guns-only 1v1 against 2× USN F-14A:s.

Each mission begins and ends with the flight to the combat area, which means following a number of set navpoints, and as always, all you have at your disposal are your eyes and your TACAN receiver. Over time, you will learn the route by heart, but good familiarity with TACAN offset navigation is required to get to where you need to be, and between that travel time and the combat engagements, fuel (and external tank) management can occasionally become an important consideration.
