The community directory is the source of these title facts. The prologue is separate from the numbered thirty, so descriptions of “thirty missions” do not necessarily exclude an introductory flight.
Keep a checklist that matches your goal
For a first clear, note the next numbered mission. For rank collection, note mission, selected difficulty and displayed best rank. For special medals, add the exact award condition as a separate column. A completed mission does not establish that its S-rank or detection condition has been satisfied.
The all-S replay guide explains the difference between filling rank gaps and assuming shortcuts for an entire guns-only or no-damage run. Save the result when a replay does not update the award you expected.
Find help for the actual obstacle
- Mission 8: protect allies with ground priorities and ammunition planning.
- Mission 14: compare detection through the ending.
- Mission 28: loadouts, Shadows and failed S attempts.
- After Mission 30: reported special-aircraft purchase gates.
The titles provide navigation. They do not imply that every mission has a complete walkthrough on this site. If your problem is an ERROR 01 scene crash, use the PC case comparisons rather than treating a crash as a combat objective.
