Twelve operations, filed and rated
Every campaign level in Apache Gunship listed in theatre order. Each card links the raw mission file with objectives, threat layout and medal thresholds, the same data our mission designers tune against.
The full sortie board
Open any file to inspect the mission data straight from the build.
Dustoff Dawn
Training range at first light. Hover checks, pedal turns and your first live rocket run.
Kandahar Gap
First real strike. Thread the gap, kill the convoy, get out before the MANPADS wake up.
Serpent Shelf
Canyon ambush route below radar coverage. Cliff walls on both sides the whole way.
Iron Coast
Littoral raid on a fortified shoreline. Ship-launched SAMs track you over open water.
Blackout Ridge
Full night profile under NVG. Enemy searchlights paint the ridge you need to cross.
Monsoon Veil
River strike inside a live monsoon cell. Visibility collapses past six hundred metres.
Carrier Group
Open ocean escort duty. Rearm on a moving deck while bogies vector in.
Red Valley
Convoy intercept across two ridgelines. Time-on-target windows are eight seconds wide.
Frozen Reach
Arctic insert with rotor icing active. Keep collective discipline or drop like freight.
Delta Nine
Urban rooftop war. Collateral rules are strict and the SAM nests sit on hospitals.
Glass Meridian
VIP escort through a kill corridor. The helicopter you babysit cannot fight back.
Apex Run
Everything at once: weather, night, SAM nets and a moving objective. Graduation day.
Speed gates built into the maps
Fastest trap this week, set on Iron Coast by pilot OSPREY.
Daily radar board
- OSPREY287 km/h
- MAMBA281 km/h
- TALON-6279 km/h
- JESTER-2271 km/h
Trap rewards
- Break 250 km/h — 300 credits
- Break 280 km/h — camo decal
- Top daily speed — radar badge
Inverted canyon threading
Some routes fly better upside down in your head than right side up on the map. NOE (nap-of-the-earth) profiles keep you under radar coverage at twenty metres, reading terrain like a whitewater line.
Serpent Shelf profile
Read the walls
Terrain masking beats any jammer. If the ridge hides your rotor disc, the SAM never locks.
Pop-up attacks
Burst over the lip, fire, drop back into the fold before the return volley lands.
Vortex ring
Descend too fast through your own downwash and the rotor gives up. Keep vertical speed under 10 m/s.
Heat is a resource, not a warning
Full collective plus max weapons heat the turbines fast. Ride the top of the warning band and you trade ten seconds of power for a hot engine at extraction.
Crew chief advice
Vent through the side deflectors during long descents. Glide time is free cooling time.
The airframe remembers every hit
Hull integrity
Panel damage is local. Lose a tail panel and pedal authority halves.
Field repair
FOB pads restore hull over 45 seconds. The rearm cart fixes panels, not pride.
Damage model
- 12 damageable zones
- Hydraulic leaks reduce control
- Chip light = gearbox wear
- Debris can clip the tail rotor
Three ways to survive the lock tone
Flare burst
Best against heat-seekers. Drop pairs on a one-second rhythm as the missile closes; single pops teach the seeker nothing.
Chaff cloud
The radar-guided answer. Cut a hard break through the cloud so the seeker sees the chaff bloom instead of your rotor return.
IR jammer
Always-on emitter that confuses older seekers. Drains the auxiliary bus, so the copilot meter watches it like a fuel gauge.
Speed is a technique, not a stat
The fastest pilots don't hold full collective. They trade altitude for knots in a rhythm the airframe actually likes.
Unload
Nose down 15°, let the disc breathe. Speed builds free.
Dash
Full forward cyclic on the level. Torque meter climbs, so does speed.
Convert
Trade knots back for altitude before the SAM ring wakes.
Normal cruise vs dash profile
The rotor is the wing
Pitch demo
What the blade does per revolution
Past 240 km/h the retreating blade flirts with stall. The sim models the shudder before it models the sink.
Fuel, torque and the glide that saves both
Autorotation banking
Every clean autorotation descent banks 2% fuel back into the reserve figure at mission end.
Torque discipline
Holding under 90% torque doubles the engine wear interval across a campaign.
Route economy
The mission file marks optimal altitude bands. Flying inside them saves 8–12% fuel per leg.
Efficiency drills are module six of Flight School Pro.
Every operation is replayable on all four difficulty tiers, and each tier has its own medal thresholds inside the JSON brief linked on the card.
Operations unlock in theatre order, but any cleared op stays open for replays and speed-run attempts.
By completion stats, Delta Nine on Ace difficulty holds the record. Apex Run is longer, but its checkpoints are more forgiving.
The Campaign Mastery Pack carries route maps for all twelve operations, or book a session through the command post.
