Destroying ground targets
While on the mission, you can win in two different ways. One of them is the elimination of the ground targets marked on the map. These installations are the key to victory by domination. You need to watch out for the AA cannons that protect these buildings and can inflict considerable damage. There are several types of installations:
General Command - destroying it weakens the "Plot" cannons.
"Plot" cannon - AA cannon.
Ground targets - destroying them increases your domination over the enemy.
There is no point in laying fire onto enemy buildings from a distance larger than 50 meters. With the target is that far, you won't deal any damage and you will make your machine gun overheat unnecessarily. The best weapon to destroy ground targets are bombs and rockets.
Destroying of the enemy planes
Another way to strike victory is to destroy every enemy plane. Standard mode battles are the battles participated by 15 players. On the list, you can specify what type of aircraft is at the disposal of your team and the opposing team, and so: white - aircraft fighter, brown - attack aircraft, blue - carrier-based fighter, navy blue - heavy fighter. The first thing that you need to do, after the battle begins, is stick close to your team and, if there are planes capable of eliminating ground targets, you need to protect these from enemy attack at all cost. Keeping the plane you protect at a distance, and somewhat below, will protect it from being destroyed. When the group consists of aircraft fighters, it is a good tactic to increase the altitude to a maximum and attack the unsuspecting enemy by surprise. As a plane for the elimination of ground targets, you should make sure that you have the protecting plane that will protect you against enemy attacks. Remember not to venture into new areas alone and at a low altitude where you can find yourself surrounded by the enemy units or under fire from the "Plot" cannons.
