― Comic

"Homestead" is the third mission of Project Wingman. The player leads a Sicario assault to take Rowsdower Air Force Base.

Objectives

After a takeoff sequence than can either be skipped or performed, the player flies towards Rowsdower, engaging any ships, AA defenses, and a few patrolling fighters along the way. When approaching the base, several F/C-16s and C/T-17s attempt to take off and should be swiftly dispatched.

Once all targets have been destroyed, Crosstalk Squadron arrives and must be shot down to complete the mission, leading to a skippable landing section.

Mercenary difficulty

The reinforced defenses include an aircraft carrier, a battleship, F/S-15s, and RAILGUNs. Crosstalk gets a second wing of four MG-29s with AOA Limiter modules.
