Over G Fighters Mission 5 Walkthrough: Hell Mode Targets
Mission 5 in Over G Fighters comes down to shooting down five incoming targets. This walkthrough covers the setup, the attack order and the Hell mode unlock.
In this article
This Over G Fighters mission 5 walkthrough starts with the goal: you have to destroy incoming enemy fighters and bombers. Knowing that up front tells you what to watch for from the first second of the fight [1].
Each one you destroy brings you closer to finishing, so keep a mental count of how many are left as the enemies approach.
This walkthrough follows the Hell mode version of the mission, the harder difficulty setting [1]. Everything here is written for Hell mode, so it fits that setting rather than the easier one.
Where should you fly at the start?
You start flying in the direction where the targets will appear. [1] Your opening move is to hold that heading and let the enemies come to you instead of turning around to look for them.
Enemies that arrive as a group close fast. Every second you spend turning around is a second they spend getting closer, so it helps to have your nose pointed at the threat before it reaches you.
- Leave your starting heading alone for the first few seconds of the mission.
- Keep your speed up so you can turn without losing control of your aircraft.
- Start turning toward the group while it is still far away, so you don't have to swing around at the last moment.
- Once the first target is in your sights, fire and keep your turn tight so you stay on the group instead of flying past it.
Turning early gives you room. A wide turn started early lets you line up on the group on your terms. A late turn can leave you overshooting the enemies before you can come back around.
Do you need to beat the game first to reach Hell mode?
Yes. Hell difficulty stays locked until you finish the game on Expert. You unlock it by completing the whole game on that difficulty first [2].
Because of that, many players end up playing the game twice, once on Expert and once on Hell [2]. Your first run is about learning the campaign. Your second run is where you take on the harder version of the same missions.
Hell mode also has one extra reward to aim for. In Area 2, completing the Strategic mission on Hell mode unlocks the X-35C [3]. If you want that aircraft, plan to play that specific mission on Hell rather than treating it as a side note on your first pass.
How do you handle the five targets without running out of time?
Mission 5 is a count-the-targets fight. Keep a tally as you go, saying each number to yourself if that helps: one down, two down, and so on.
Keep your focus on the incoming group as it approaches from the direction you started facing. The enemy fighters and bombers come toward you, and they arrive from the direction you began in [1]. Pick the nearest threat in that group and finish it before turning to the next one. Letting the first wave pull you away from the rest is how the others get close.
Chasing a single target across the sky leaves the group free to close in on you. A short, steady approach keeps the rest of the group in front of you, where you can see it coming.
For the exact order and routes, you will want a full Hell mode walkthrough. Look for one that covers each mission on Hell mode, since the basic outline here does not show every route [3].
What to do next after clearing mission 5
Clearing mission 5 comes down to three habits: start facing the targets, count all five of them, and finish Expert before you try Hell. You start flying in the direction where the targets will appear, so point your nose that way from the first second. [1] Hell difficulty unlocks only after you finish the game on Expert, so that comes first. [2]
Once those basics feel automatic, go back and try the Hell mode mission again. With the start direction and the count of five in mind, you will spend less time hunting for the incoming group and more time shooting it down.
