STEAM EDITION — THE CAMPAIGN

Missions

The major missions of the campaign in the Steam edition (Windows / Mac) of F-2 MISSIONS — from your first takeoff to carrier landings, scrambles against unknown aircraft, and attacks flown to an assigned time.

The campaign opens in order, chapter by chapter and one sortie at a time. Contents may change in updates.

Basic Flight Training

Chapter 1 — Basic Flight Training

Seven sorties at Matsushima — from your first takeoff through turns, the circuit, night, energy, and a navigation flight that has you read the map around Kinkasan. The fundamentals, built up one sortie at a time.

Carrier Landing

Chapter 2 — Carrier Launch & Recovery

From a deck painted on a runway to the carrier VANGUARD under way at sea. Fly the ball, catch a wire with the hook — and if you miss, full power, go around, and try again.

Catapult Launch

Chapter 2 — Carrier Launch & Recovery

You start hooked to catapult one. Full power on the shooter's signal, and the steam catapult throws you off the bow — with the nose still level. Pull, or the sea is waiting.

Scramble 02

Launching against an unknown aircraft. Close in, identify him and turn him away — without firing a shot.

Chapter 4 — Operations

A scramble from Chitose. An unknown track off Tomakomai, high and fast, heading north. Launch as a pair, get out in front of him, and come alongside — without firing — to turn him away over the radio.

Chapter 4 — Operations

A scramble from Hyakuri. Off Kashima-nada, a light jet creeping south under the cloud deck — low, slow, and not answering. When the radio gets you nowhere, you say it with your wings.
