A terrible mission designed to push sales of P2W "DLC" planes.
The "DLC" arc for this game is pure garbage. It's designed to be impossible to do with missiles (because the enemies cheat) thereby forcing you to use sci fi planes... which can be bought as "DLC".
The missions in the base game are the worst of the entire series but the missions of the "DLC" arc are even worse. They weren't designed to be fun; they were designed to sell science fiction nonsense DLC with laser weapons.
