of the info contained here originated from Japanese AC3 websites http://www.nerves-concord.com/

sites and included additional details to form this guide.

Tips: go lightweight, best boosters, de-equip all weapons, equip anti-missile extensions and the
best decoys. position your AC in one of the two corners (facing as many MT$B!G(Bs as you can get in

Requirements: clear the level without losing any of the defended targets

Tips; pick a set of weapons which have a good rate of fire and high damage. a fast AC helps as

Requirements: complete the first level with good record and clear bonus level
Acquisition: via mail notification after requirement fulfilled
Tips: floating leg unit recommended for the first part of the mission, and missiles to defeat
the bombers in the second half. also, there is no penalty for using consorts.
MWG-KARASAWA - energy rifle
Location:$B!V%f%K%*%s=17b!W(B
Requirements: destroy the 5 cannon emplacements in a short time and clear the bonus level
Acquisition: via mail notification after requirement fulfilled
Tips; being able to quickly destroy the cannons is not a problem once you get an idea of where
they are. to do this you may need to repeat the mission a few times to become familiar with the
layout. in brief there is a river east of the starting point; there are two cannons on the first
bank, and the other three cannons on the opposite bank (be sure to have an FCS with a long site,
so you can see them). in the second (bonus) part of the mission you have to hold out against an
onslaught of bombers and guerrilla MTs for about five minutes. for this reason,i recommend going
in with a machine gun, missiles, and decoys in a heavy/tank AC configuration. again, there is no
penalty for using a consort.
