The South Island Missions
The three South Island missions provide a short introduction to
Harrier Attack II.
In each mission your Harrier takes off from its mother carrier
and flies along a fixed flight path,
over the objective area. At the end of the flightpath your Harrier
will rendezvous with the carrier and land..
In the early stages of play your Harrier cannot stray from the
flight path and targets that you don't directly fly over will be
difficult or impossible to reach. As the flight path nears its end,
when you don't have the skill to turn your aircraft, your Harrier
will automatically be guided in to land on the carrier deck. Later,
when you have been awarded the skill to turn (in the 'Repel' mission), fly low, straight and slow over
the carrier deck to land. If you fail to land the first time it's
probably because you are flying too high or too fast. Turn around
and try again. If you fly on past your carrier to the end of the
marked flight path, your Harrier will turn automatically..
In each of the South Isand missions, your Harrier has a full
tank of fuel and is equipped with an
infinite number of bombs and
wire-guided air-to-air
missiles. At first you will not have the secondary fire button and weapon selection
available, this can be won in the 'Repel' mission. You must use the
primary weapon select to switch weapons when
necessary. Each mission is designed so that it is possible to
achieve all of the objectives with the skills and equipment that
you can win in the previous and current missions. It may be
necessary to play a mission, win an award from it, then play the
mission again and use the award to achieve further objectives. It
should never be necessary to return to a mission, having won awards
in more advanced missions, but it may be helpful to do so if you
get stuck.
There are four sets of objectives in each South Island mission.
The first set describe what needs to be done to unlock the next
mission. Each of the other three entitle you to an award, either a
piloting skill or some extra equipment that can be used in future
missions, or to better your acheivements in the current
mission..
