** Wondering why you aren't getting the plane parts you wanted even though you shot down the appropriate ace on the corresponding stage? If you didn't do it on the correct difficulty setting (Normal, Hard, or Ace) it won't apply, and likewise you can't do it on a Free Mission either.

* ReverseEscortMission: "Grand Flight" has you pilot a personal Boeing 747-200B of Olivieri Life Insurance CEO [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Andre Olivieri]] so he can get through the Turkish region of Mora, which is filled to the brim with Valahian forces. The 747 is slow with average armor, you need to fly through a ravine to avoid instakill SAM network there, gunboats and choppers are everywhere, and after the ravine is a jet fighter ambush. [[HarderThanHard Ace difficulty]] cranks this UpToEleven. [[spoiler: You will later kill Olivieri at the end of the game ''while he's on foot and wielding an anti-tank missile launcher''.]]
