In the second scenario you play mostly as an airplane pilot. However, part of the mission is played on foot as well.
Test Flight
At the start of the mission you can check how to control a plane. You must fly close to the second vehicle and follow it from nearby. Remember to control the throttle - speed up when flying straight and slow down when turning. In order to complete the mission you must stick to the second plane until the circle around the crosshair is filled.
Now you must destroy the balloons. Remember to avoid overheating the weapon. Shoot with series in each target one after another.
In order to destroy the ground targets you must gain some altitude and take down the targets from distance by using rockets. Remember that it is better to let go and make another attempt than to crash while trying to destroy the targets during the first try.
The next part of the mission is a much harder level. You will fight other planes in the air. Remember to take the direction in which the opponent is moving into consideration when aiming. Frequently check the map because you can find the location of enemy vehicles on it. A plane behind you is always the greatest threat. In order to lose it slow down and suddenly turn or start rotating. This will make you a harder target. Even if you have a plane targeted, let it go when you are targeted and prioritize losing the tail. Fix yourself up if the plane damage is at level 75 or below.
Total War
The second mission is a one big aerial fight. First you fight other planes together with your allies. Play according to the advice from the first mission and avoid attacking planes that are already attacked by one of your allies.
Then you must destroy the aerial targets and the anti-aircraft weapon. Use machine gun against the first ones. As for the ground targets, destroy them with rockets. This is your main task in this part of the mission, but there will be still some hostile units in the air that will try to stop you. Remember about that and patiently eliminate the enemies one after another.
In the last phase of the mission you must defend allied bombers. It is actually a regular space battle. Follow the advice from the first mission, but prioritize the enemies that are attacking the bombers.
Fall from Grace
In the third mission you aren't flying a plane. You start the mission only with a revolver and a shovel. Attack the first soldiers with a melee hit while crouching. The second one is behind the corner of the burning - treat him similarly as the first one.
Then keep moving through lines of enemy troops. You can still try to attack them silently by sneaking up and using melee hits, but you can also fight using regular methods.
Throw a shell to separate the soldiers. One of them will come check the source of the noise and you can kill him while remaining undetected.
In the trenches you can shoot the enemies with a revolver or a picked up rifle - they are split and fighting them isn't that hard.
In the final part of the mission you must drag a soldier on your back and you cannot use weapons. All you need to do is return to your allies.
Forte et fidele
The last mission starts with a large aerial battle. However, your main targets are enemy bombers. Don't attack them like you attack other planes, but ascend and dive at a high speed while attacking the bombers. If you do it right, you should destroy the enemy vehicle with a single attempt. Don't ignore the other planes that are defending the bombers.
Further in the mission you must destroy an airship. Rockets are best for that.
In the next phase you will participate in some duels with revolver in your hand. Try aiming at the heads of the opponents in order to kill each of them with a single shot.
Your last task is to destroy the airship with an anti-aircraft weapon placed on another airship. Try aiming at the propellers placed at the bottom of the airship. Shoot with series and avoid overheating the weapon.
