Ace Combat 5 Help Needed!

[Danny]

Can anyone help me with the Mission "Demons of Razgriz"?

I just can't sink the Hrimfaxi submarine!
My current weapon of choice is the A-10 Attacker.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

You really need to familiarize yourself with the forums over at acecombat.net. They are to "gtplanet" of all things Ace Combat! If you can't find it there, then it doesn't exist 👍

Choose a different plane. The A-10 is next to useless for this mission.
Try the TND or the Raptor.

You have to be cycle thru the targets while you are out of range.
Destroy the things that will shoot at you.
In order of importance: SAMs, AA guns, Launchers.
The advantage of the TND is that with the spread bomb, If you line the Sub up from bow to stern so that you fly over its length, you should be able to destroy all Hrimfaxi's offensive weaponry in a few passes.
Also, you don't have to "head for the skies" until the AWACS plane starts the countdown. Then go vertical and full throttle.
Is this your first time thru the game? It will only get marginally easier with repeated replays.

Thanks for the help guys.

I followed both pieces of advice and sunk it

Congrats, but just wait till you get to the mission with the Fort that needs to be breached, and all the friendly forces that need to be protected.
And there are several other missions that will cause you to beat your head against the wall.

Do you mean the mission where you find and rescue Cpt. Nagase?
I seem to shoot everything down, but they still get to the 'Copter.

Jump in the F/A-22A and not worry about anything.

In that particular mission, I believe there are tons of AA weaponry. Take those out first.

That's only one of the more frustrating missions.
But there are several others, and I don't wanna reveal any spoilers if this is ultrabeat's first time thru the game.
All I'll say is that Pops sure can fly! Especially, with that damn dog barking in his ear.

 

[Danny]

If you mean evading the SU-37s, that was easy!

 

[Gil]

Actually, I was talking about following Pops in the trainers, and avoiding the Grabacr squadron.

There's also the mission where you have to destroy the Arkbird,

And the next to last mission, where the capability to go back to the carrier for a reload (a'la AC4) would be really welcome as it is an extremely target rich environment.
Plus flying thru the tunnel is a bit of nightmare.
