Top Gun - Combat Zones Game Cheats

Aircraft:
---------
On all levels that contain multiple aircraft bogies, the best
solution is to wipe out all aircraft by flying low to the ground,
then pulling up on the stick to get a missile lock to destroy them.
Take one bogie out at a time, then fly back close to the ground and
start the process all over again.
Anti-aircraft guns:
-------------------
Flying close to the ground causes the anti-aircraft guns to overshoot
your plane. They cannot fire below a certain point due to the risk of
hitting their own men.
Weapons:
--------
While speed in completing missions, extent of damage to your jet, and
"First Blood" bonuses help, they will never allow you to gain the
points and medals to open new jets. The key to points is ammunition
choice. Try to use only guns for everything, saving all the missiles
and bombs possible. If you must use missiles, use the self aimed, not
the guided. The more bombs and missiles you return with, the higher
the scores. By doing this it is possible to advance from the normal
300,000 to 400,000 red star success to consistent scores of over 2
million per mission.
Flying:
-------
As the missions gain in complexity, every fly over must be highly
efficient. Instead of tight sweeping turns, use over-the-top turns.
This can cut a 10 second turn down to 3 seconds and place you in a
better attack mode to start the next run. This requires practice.
Turning:
--------
For easier turning upwards if you are about to crash, use your
throttle to speed up and pull up to get out faster and for bonus
points.
Destroy tanks, vans and most moving ground targets:
---------------------------------------------------
Use the afterburners when you are close to the ground.
Note: This will not work on BTROs or gunboats (it will
just do damage).
