Mission 3 starts with our favorite squadron still hunting for the Dominus. Vargas (flying the RED WIDOW if you notice),
Copperhead, and YOU catch up with the Dominus.
In this mission (as you can see in the dialog below) you find that the
Dominus has not actually been captured but Captain Nyman of the Dominus has
defected (gasp!).
Phase 1: Taking on Fighters & 2 destroyers:
First phase of this mission is to work your way thru a
squadron of fighters and 2 destroyers.
You will find that this is the first mission where the opposing jets are
actually a bit of competition. They are
able to evade your missiles and also can inflict some damage with their own
missiles on you. You will have to work a
little harder than in Missions 1 & 2, but they should go down easy enough
as long as you aren’t careless. Once you
knock them off, you will proceed to the more dramatic phase 2 of this mission.

| Taking him down in a blaze of glory |
Phase 2 of Mission: Confronting the Dominus & her escort
fleet:
As we approach the Dominus, you will see that it is escorted
by 4 destroyers. You will have to do
double duty in this phase. You will have
to take out the destroyers and in parallel, shoot down any ship-to-ship
missiles that the Dominus lobs at your fleet
 |
| Missile Away! |
 |
| Take down that bad boy |
My
strategy in this phase is to try and stay between my fleet and the Dominus
while taking out the destroyers and not stray too far in amongst the Dominus
fleet. This gives a
better chances of taking out the ship-to-ship missiles. If you get too involved sinking the
destroyers, it’s easy for you to miss one of the Dominus’ missiles.
This
mission is the most ship intensive of all the missions and will definitely test
your skills to take out destroyers.
Remember to aim for the center towers of the ships for quicker kills.
After
you take out the destroyers, get ready for some drama. Our beloved squadron commander Vargas
requests parley with Nyman and proceeds to LAND on the Dominus (what are you
thinking chick?). Vargas takes her RED WIDOW to the deck of the
Dominus. The big boss, Admiral Durant
then asks why we are stopping the attack.
Durant has no interest in “Parley”.
While Vargas is on the Dominus, she transmits the following final message:
"Copperhead, Come In, You are Not Going to believe this"
and then...

Cool! Nice to c ya it's been awhile! 2 things I asked u in your first blog post what ur game center is. Mine is [A.A.F.]™Elite-Ace if ur going to send me one make sure u let me no its u! I also recently bought the red widow and I got to say, even though I have a few upgrades to go its still serving me very well!
ReplyDeleteNyman hang himself when Vargas enter the bridge and saw him.before that,he was ordered by the rebels to self destruct after he thinks he failed to be loyal to HELIOS.
Delete******************SPOILER WARNING********************
ReplyDeleteThe legion are a-holes bent on suppressing Markovian freedom fighters who are trying to gain their freedom. As if the whole "working for the Empire" deal wasn't enough of a giveaway. I think this set up is refreshing in the sense that we get to play as the "bad guys" in an Iphone game for a change.

Nyman's speech: it's vargAs, not vargUs. Spotted that? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like Z2Live needs to use their spellchecker
DeleteOr maybe Vargus is the real one and Vargas is a spy, or vice-versa, or maybe he's actually from an alternate reality where Vargas here is Vargus there, or maybe Vargus is a man???
DeleteOr maybe Nyman just said it a different way.
DeleteAlso, if you noticed, there will be a small frame skipping when a ship-to-ship missile appears. So I'd stick close dominus, turn around when the frame skip occur to take out the missile, and continue the attack on the fleet.
ReplyDeleteNever noticed that - will look for it next time!
DeleteAlso, in the first phase of the mission (with the planes), whenever I fire on them with my missles, when they get hit, they suddenly go extremely fast and fly off.
DeleteThis level is so much easier if you use a weapons class plane like the hawken.
ReplyDeleteSeems like aiming at the cannons on the ships will sink them faster.
ReplyDeleteAny tacticts for defeating this mission without paying to respawn with one of the entry level planes instead of a level 20 best in class?
ReplyDeleteat the start accelerate and fly low, then come back and eliminate the planes, to destroy the destroyers fly out to the side then come back in ad shoot a couple of cannons, repeat this process for the destroyers and you should be able to do the mission without taking too much damage, the only thing is you won't be able to get the reward for stopping the missiles that the dominus fires. I did this mission in an annihilator or a falcon, not sure which
DeleteThe missiles that the destroyers fire in the 2nd phase can travel really far. There are often too many missiles for me to dodge. I usually have to respawn once or even twice. After the destroyers get further away from the dominus I fly behind it to destroy the anti ship missiles. As soon as I destroy a missile, I fire some missiles at the destroyers and fly back to the dominus to destroy the next missile.
ReplyDeleteWhen I watch the dominus getting blown up, instead of thinking about Vargas dying, I think about the red widow getting destroyed.
ReplyDeleteI think about the Dominus getting destroyed!
DeleteI just played this mission today, and it's much easier to ingnore the ship-to-ship missles that the Dominus hurls at you. I used my Hawken, and I just accelerated to full speed while firing my missles at the cannons on the destroyers. That way, they can't lock on to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean 'The ship-to-ship missiles that the dominus hurls at you?' What do you mean by 'If you fly fast, the dominus will not be able to lock on to you?'
ReplyDeleteHis tatic works really well! All you need to do is to fly at full speed and you won't need to worry about the missiles the Destroyers launch at you because they can't lock onto you. However killing the destoryers at full speed is hard and getting the anti ship missiles is also hellish.
DeleteI hope that if Z2 makes another campaign, we'll find out what vargas found out
ReplyDeletevargas was in the dominus when it was self destraced by amirl durant
DeleteThe missiles in the second phrase kill me and they never stop tracking! Help!! Should I use my 3/4 upgraded Hawken instead of 1/3 upgraded Falcon?
ReplyDeleteyou should use your 3/4 upgraded hawken
DeleteUse your hawken.
ReplyDeletei've beaten all the missions (with my dragon) but this is the only mission in which i can't get all the bonus objectives in one try. i can;t seem to destroy all of the dominus's missiles. does anyone know how often they fire?
ReplyDeleteI used an Arbiter and the armor regen really helped. You can also take out the anti ship missiles with cannons if you get close enough.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the hardest mission for me to accomplish without dying. I was stuck on this mission for couple weeks until I finally bought the viper and upgraded it. I died about 2 - 3 times while using the coins to revive.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot understand how you can beat this mission in one go. Even the last mission was not that hard. There was simply way too many airplanes at the beginning and the destroyers took 4 times my volley of missiles to destroy. I aimed at the deck but under all those constant fire, it seemed impossible.
Maybe my upcoming eagle will have a chance.
no use even wraith and mbda meteor plus apollo cannon and beat the hell out of them
DeleteI wish you colud blow up the Dominus after the destroers
ReplyDeletei just can't beat this mission. i wish you could use coins to beat it or credits if you are stuck on this. i even used wingmans that are high leveled with a skill rating of almost 30000 istill can't beat this mission someone please tell me a better strategy?
ReplyDeleteuse weapon class plane with fast reloading capability you can use stock missile. first stage shoot down incoming planes, 4 missiles at a time after eliminating all planes take down the 2 destroyers aim at their turrets 2 missiles at a time. second stage approach the dominus wait for the missile then shoot it with your cannon, then concentrate on the escort to the left shoot all the turret 2 missiles at a time as fast as you can when the dominus fires a missile shoot it down with you cannon then continue with the other escort until you eliminated all the escort make sure to shoot all the missiles from the dominus every time he fires to the fleet.
DeleteL.S Dominus = USS Nimtiz
ReplyDeleteL.S Seawulf (Durant's ship) = USS Constellion
I think
No they r both admiral kutsnetsov or whatever the russian carrier is
DeleteA pilot decides to fly his fancy thresher in the first wave of attacking planes
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this is a glitch or what, but during the second part of this mission all the missile and cannon turrets suddenly get infinite range, and the missiles get infinite tracking. So no matter where I go in the map, I have like 12 cannons all firing on me at once, and eight missiles streaking towards me every couple seconds that I can't even dodge. I finally beat this mission once I got my Arbiter fully upgraded, and even then it took a couple respawns. Come on, Z2, seriously?
ReplyDeleteuse weapon class plane with fast reloading capability you can use stock missile. first stage shoot down incoming planes, 4 missiles at a time after eliminating all planes take down the 2 destroyers aim at their turrets 2 missiles at a time. second stage approach the dominus wait for the missile then shoot it with your cannon, then concentrate on the escort to the left (nearest to the dominus) shoot all the turret 2 missiles at a time as fast as you can when the dominus fires a missile shoot it down with you cannon then continue with the other escort until you eliminated all the escort (left to right) make sure to shoot all the missiles from the dominus every time he fires to the fleet.
DeleteI noticed that and it pissed me so bad I swore at my iPad
ReplyDeleteThis mission is best played with a defense class plane. My KD-90 sphinx works great with it.
ReplyDeleteWhere is danged seawulf , I've flown close to every ships tower and still have not gotten that achievement!!
ReplyDeleteit is your own ship, aircraft carrier from which u fly..
Delete(may be they want some top gun spirit..)
i have completed this mission with more than 50 % health remaining..
ReplyDeletehere key thing is not to get damage.
for first phase, try to get minimum damage from planes and try to get no damage from destroyers..
in second phase, fly with max speed over destroyers like u were swiping them and hit missile whenever u can.(missile lock speed now comes in to play, use the weapons class if u can..) if u move fast u will avoid all missiles and almost all cannons.
keep an eye for yellow arrow of ship to ship missile and kill it with cannon as soon as u see it. a single cannon hit is enough but u should hit it accurately.
getting all objectives is easier than first one i think, many times i don't get third objective in first mission..
when you hire a wingman do you get to keep him or only for that game.
ReplyDeleteplease reply
if you buy a wingman and do a mission the wingman has to reful for 720 minutes
DeleteVargas is weird because after you complete the mission, if you run out of ammo Vargas tells you to restock them! ... Vargas is so creepy.
ReplyDeleteAnyways I'm really going to miss Vargas, but I still wonder what that "thing she can't believe"!
ReplyDeleteThe key is not to get beat up in the first phase by the planes.
ReplyDeleteI'm still questioning on whether Vargas has survived or not. I have finished all five campaigns and there is no clue, not even a single one. Anyway, is it really so tough to finish that campaign? I completed 2 objectives (including main) with a U-9 Raider and using the standard issues, with 1 respawn of course.
ReplyDeleteWow! Such an amazing and helpful post this is. I really really love it. It's so good and so awesome. I am just amazed. I hope that you continue to do your work like this in the future also children shopping online
