The story centers on the USAF deploying advanced multi-purpose jets to strategic global hotspots, aiming to inflict heavy losses on enemies. However, the lack of an in-game manual leaves mission objectives unclear, forcing players to externally search for mission details to engage meaningfully with the campaigns.
“Without the manual you don't know what mission objectives are, so you can't play campaigns in any meaningful way.”
“What this means is that you have to tab out, google the missions to know what you're actually supposed to do in the missions.”
“The background story is that the USAF is fielding two advanced multi-purpose jets in critical global hot spots with the idea that these advanced aircraft and their highly trained pilots shall inflict disproportional losses to any potential enemy for each aircraft lost.”
