Project Wingmans Conquest Mode adds something new to the arcade-style action flight games popularized byAce Combat.

Along with Mercenary difficulty in the main campaign, Conquest Mode is considered Project Wingmans endgame.

Thats where this guide comes in.

Conquest Mode Basics

But first, lets go over the basics.

The objective of Conquest Mode is to complete 43 missions in a single life.

Youll start Conquest Mode with only the trainer aircraft unlocked.

FS-15

via Sector D2

When you die, you lose everything except your Prestige points and whatever aircraft youve unlocked.

More on those later.

These units can include other planes of various quality all the way up to allied airships.

SV 37

via Steam

Still, you should spend your money as you get it.

In general, I recommend prioritizing airships and their upgrades as much as possible.

If you dont have enough Cordium for airship upgrades, allied Aces are your next best bet.

F-16

via Sector D2

But dont sit on your cash forever!

The prices are listed below.

As you play, your Alert Level will increase as the Federation considers you a greater and greater threat.

Airship

via Sector D2

This means more and better enemies will come after you in every mission.

There are quite a few different types of missions you could face in Conquest mode.

We’ll go over each of them here as well as some recommended weapons.

F18

via Sector D2

Fleet Hunt

This mission pop in has you hunt down several enemy airships.

Down the transports and their attendant escorts to beat this mission.

MLAA and SAAs are recommended.

Flares

via Sector D2

Clean Air Defenses

Scattered across the map are several anti-air batteries that all need to be taken out.

Most Wanted

Several enemy ace squadrons are flying around and they need to be taken out.

The same strategy still applies, just be more careful.

Too many missiles

via Sector D2

Because of the Alert Level mechanic, its best to focus on planes that have high speed.

The MG.29 and F/E-18 can also be highly effective for their speed and varied weapons loadouts.
