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

The next morning, Blaze, Chopper, and Grimm lead the search-and-rescue mission for Nagase. They locate her distress beacon just before the Yuktobanian search parties find her, and escort an H-9 helicopter to her position while defending it from air and ground attack.

Necesary map: Kola.
Optional skins:

Have fun!

BRIEFING:

We've succeeded in tracking down Captain Kei Nagase's distress beacon. We will now launch a combat search and rescue operation for the Captain.

Captain Nagase is currently on the run from an enemy patrol. Although she's being pursued, her distress TACAN beacon is still broadcasting. This transmission is extremely weak, so we cannot confirm her location unless we get closer to the source of the signal.

Follow the 22X TACAN signal to find Captain Nagase's concealed location as quickly as possible. Once you find her, report her location to the Sea Goblin Helicopter Squadron.

The helicopter search and rescue team is expected to face stiff opposition from enemy air and ground forces. After the helicopter team picks up Captain Nagase, neutralize any fighters and helicopters for them as they airlift her out.
