How to spawn Su-34 Walrus Walrus is really hard to get. But after trying for a month I have figured it out. Here are some tips: 1. F-22 raptor with the special weapon xsdb's 2. Forget about the fighter jets as much as you can. (except the 3 a-10s and Su-34 Walrus) 3. Use that special weapon to destroy all the ground targets.(First destroy the closest ones to stonehenge) 4. When the bombers spawn, take them out before they reach stonehenge. (FORGET ABOUT THEIR ESCORT FIGHTERS!) 5. When the 3 a-10 warthogs spawn in the east, take them out before they reach stonehenge. [(This is also spawing an ace called a-10 buffle) (If you have already got the enemy ace a-10 buffle, do not worry about him because he will not do any damage to stonehenge, he will just escape the map as shown in the video.)] 6. There is 1 RKTL Truck alone in the mission. You will find it when you turn around to destroy the 3 a-10 warthogs coming from the east. Just destroy the RKTL Truck standing alone when you turn around to destroy the 3 a-10 warthogs coming from the east. Hope this helps, Like if you agree If this wasn't helpful reply then comment this isn't helpful.

So on my first attempt, I managed to get two out of three of the aces. Apparently, while I was bomber hunting a group of tanks, APCs and SAMs had breached one of the entry points into Stonehenge and managed to damage it. Robbing me of a full sweep of the aces in the mission, not impressed but now I can just focus on defending Stonehenge on my next run...

somehow i pulled it off on my first try. THANK YOU so much for this guide it really helped. i thought i was going to miss one then i saw him trying to shoot me down and i blew him up and got walrus.

@@PrettyTAF I don’t know the story behind Ace Combat development but most of those Aces names are French or French Canadians. Maybe one of the developer is French. Or could it be the European Jets ? Rafale ( which means bursts) or the Mirage etc..

Tried to do this at Normal difficulty F-35C 8agm or SOD only got Mirage 2000 Foudre & A-10 Buffle on my run but failed to spawn Walrus Su-34

[@PrettyTAF]

The criteria for walrus to spawn is to not let Stonehenge get damaged during the mission, Something must have got through and caused it damage otherwise walrus would have spawned with the helicopter raid before the Arsenal bird showed up

[@EpicThe112]

[@actuallym3128]

What I did: (I'm on normal difficulty btw donnu if it works on other difficulties) Fly under the Stonehenge weapons as the video shows then kill the first ace, he will appear alone above you. Then try to kill the enemy ground forces (the ones nearer to stenhenge first is better) and then reach the point where the A-10Cs spawn and kill them before they damage Stonehenge then check the map and you'll see a lonely aircraft this is the second ace (the aircraft may spawn on the other side of the map so check carefully). Then, keep destroying the ground forces till the bombers arrive and make sure to destroy all bombers before they can reach and damage Stonehenge. After all bombers have been destroyed, a helicopter assault unit appears and you have to destroy the Chinooks. The last ace will either appear when the assault unit appears or it will appear while you are destroying the assault unit (the ace will appear in the same location as the assault unit!!!)

[@henrybleisch9025]

The tips in the comments section are pretty good however i have a few tricks here that help so i didnt fly under Stonehenge right away because that fighter will follow you around in some cases by the 1st set of the tu bomber if you do it right before they fly in and since they are slow u can manage to kills tanks that keep Stonehenge safe .i use a dlc plane but i found bomb are good too or depends on how your plane handle and speed matters here so you wanna fast plane with mods. I found the xfa 27 was pretty good but also the cfa 44 because they can shoot all Targets with specials but any plane with guided good bombs atgs here are pretty useful 4 aam. Qaams possibly if you dont have the dlc planes are nice an reload fast. Make sure you get the rocket trucks if you do skip an skin for next time pick baffle hes pretty easy to kill but just runs off and like will avoid Stonehenge also you definitely wana try to get walrus hes hardest to kill but there a point that he spawns that allows u to stop protecting Stonehenge around the last 2 bombers and bit before the second sent of rocket truck all of which is can ignore as long as u see walrus come in with all the other ch helis he spawns near on the mini map he really stands out as hes behind them and the only jet there on the mini.

[@derecker1]

How's that none of this videos nor comments tells you about how to actually get the Walrus to spawn? Well heres how. Have in mind: I used the f35 with 8AGM. This steps are just to spawn the Walrus, although you can easily fit them other 2 planes to spawn between these steps. Bombers and ground vehicles damage Stonehenge, but allies are there to help you (kind of). 1. Starting the mission hit rigth, and around Stonehenge 3 groups of vehicles will be there, the first two will be close each other, the last one will have a bunch of enemies, take em down with any fast bomb/missile (if you're using the f35 use your 8AGM but fire right after it locks on targets, switch and use your main if you might while it reloads to save ammo) Note: is ok to leave a couple ground vehicles left, your allies will take 1 or 2 down but will fail if theres too many, so dont worry about shooting every single target if you dont have time for step 2. 2. By the time you get and take down the 3rd and largest group of enemies, keep an eye SOUTH of your map, 3 bombers will spawn, ignore the scort, as soon as they do, fly to meet them and shoot them down. 3. Fly back to Stonehenge, circle around and take care of most/all of ground targets, dont take too long, keep an eye EAST now for the 3 A-10s to spawn, as soon as they appear fly to meet them and shoot them down, theyll take 3 solid missile hits so use bullets while it reloads (doing so will spawn the Buffle ace) Note: theres a single RKT truck that spawns east of the map, it did spawn to me when i was playing on hard but i did this run on normal and for some reason it didn't spawn, if it does try and take it down quick as this little truck will damage Stonehenge. 4. Go back to Stonehenge, go around taking ground enemies, youll have a little more time to spare here, once again keep an eye SOUTH, the final and largest group of bombers will spawn, as soon as they do, fly south to meet them and take em down, be careful tho, they're 5-6 bombers with escorts and they all will shoot you bullets and missiles, forget about the escorts tho, just take the bombers down, you allies will show up to "help" with escorts. 5. Fly back to Stonehenge, the helicopters will spawn EAST by the time you reach Stonehenge, if did it rigth a single target will spawn behind the 2 helicopters group, look for that Walrus bast4rd and take him down. Now, this isnt as hard as it sounds or feels, i died a couple of times and failed the mission trying to actually get a clever path to it while meeting the criteria.
