3749.0. "F/A-18 help" by VFOVAX::BELL () Thu May 03 1990 21:18

    I have a problem with F/A-18 Interceptor that hasn't been addressed
    here.
    
    On the sixth mission, you have to destroy a submarine aircraft carrier. 
    However, it is not a valid target to the computer (missles don't lock)
    and despite my attempts to sink it, it floats on.  I've hit it
    (manually) in the bow, stern, control tower, deck and flanks.  I even
    landed on it and tried to sink it.  Can someone help me win this
    mission?  Thank you!

3749.1You can't sink it!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooThu May 03 1990 23:155
    Just fly to it at an altitude of less than 100 feet, shoot a missile or
    use your cannon on it, then shoot down every MIG you see and
    successfully land on your carrier. You can't sink the enemy Carrier,
    just take a potshot at it.
    Good luck!

    Just for the record, this has been discussed before. A dir/tit=interceptor
    will find at least a couple of notes on the subject.
    Also, if memory serves, you don't even have to fire a shot at the
    carrier; save your ammo for the enemy MIGs. As .1 pointed out, just
    make it there undetected and destroy *all* the MIGs (4 or 5 total).

3749.3Carrier Not Necessary to Mission Completion.CSCOAC::KENDRIX_JFri May 04 1990 17:419
    
    I called EA about this very thing.  It would seem that you are right,
    the carrier cannot be sunk.  I have been able to get a mission complete
    message by going out and shooting down the migs that are there, then
    landing, then going back out, and shooting down 1 or 2 more migs.  I've
    even been able to do this without EVER shooting at the carrier.
