Another mission of me trying to tribute my favourite game of all times: Ace Combat 5.

The Osean Army's assault on the Yuktobanian capital Cinigrad has been stalled by the impregnable Cruik Fortress for five days. With multiple heavy fire support bunkers, control towers, and an aircraft runway, the fortress has repelled two attempts to break through. Despite Wardog's weakened state, they are sent to provide close air support and guidance. Wardog engages in a battle with some aces in the Yuktobanian Air Force, and guides the armed forces through the fortress to completely pass right through, opening the way to the capital.

Necesary map: Kola
Necesary mod: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3310384/ I used the Stonehenge ground facilities without the turrets for the fortress.
Optional skin for the A-10A: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3329755/

Have fun!

BRIEFING:

6 dec 2010.

Before the Osean ground forces can proceed into the Yuktobanian capital fortress of Cinigrad, they'll have to deal with Cruik Fortress, directly in their path. The robust defense of this fortress has stalled the advance of our armies for the past five days. If this situation continues for much longer, it will give Yuktobania time to complete preparations for a counter-attack.
We need to take the fortress and enable our ground forces to reach the enemy capital as quickly as possible. To do this, we will launch an air attack on Cruik Fortress. Our last attack sortie fell prey to their anti-aircraft guns and air defense fighters.
Deal a decisive blow to the fortress and its surrounding air power, and support the ground forces as they penetrate the complex. Open the door to Cruik. The day of Cinigrad's liberation is near.

Enemy support squadron has been detected taking off from a base nearby, but our allied CAP cannot engage them until the anti air group inside the fortress is destroyed.
After that, perform air support for the allied tanks.
