Confirmed evidence

The preparation sequence explicitly includes special-weapon selection, and combat examples span aircraft, ships, ground forces and giant threats.

The distinction that matters

Target compatibility, range and firing opportunity matter independently of raw damage. Pre-release descriptions do not provide a complete comparable inventory.

Decision for this scenario

Use the briefing to choose a weapon category, reserve it for the phase that justifies the choice and rely on standard weapons for routine targets where possible.

What to do

Write down the mission objective, failure condition and hardest target class. Choose the player aircraft and special weapon for the task that requires the most precision, then use the remaining three squad slots to cover parallel pressure. Save the result after the debrief so later changes reflect actual evidence rather than memory.

What remains unconfirmed

Final weapons, ammunition, lock rules, reload behavior and upgrade effects remain unknown.

How to Read a Mission Briefing

A briefing should be converted into target classes, failure conditions, movement demands and one likely difficulty spike before choosing an aircraft.

Mixed Air and Ground Target Plan

For a mixed mission, the player should cover the precision bottleneck while wingmen reduce the target class that would otherwise consume the most time.

Giant Weapon Battle Preparation

Prepare for giant weapons by identifying damage zones, main attacks, supporting defenses and safe approach windows instead of treating the boss as one health bar.
