That's it! Thank you.
I remember some old PC game from like the early-to-mid 90's.
The main character was this female pilot (who becomes a cyborg partway through the game after an accident or a sabotaged mission or something) flying around a city for all or most of the missions, blowing up enemy vehicles and like mines/bombs/whatever. It was 2D, the perspective was directly overhead and I think everything was pretty much grey and brown. You got different vehicles for different missions, like helicopters, bombers, fighters etc. Mission briefings and debriefings were done with character potraits and green text on a black screen.
I was fairly young at the time so some of the details are probably off.
