Spoiler Warning: There are spoilers for the details of the plot and/or ending in the text that follows.Lying in Wait is the (discounting Pursuit Across the Sky and Double-Winged Condor which are both optional) fifth and final mission for Bellona Airbase in Airforce Delta Storm.
Walkthrough
There are five submarines you have to destroy and no other enemies in the air or water (except for two planes in the PAL version), making this one of the simplest missions in the game. Be careful while attacking the submarines, though. They launch missiles at you like crazy.
Mission Objectives
- Destroy all targets.
Reward
The reward for this mission is 50,000 credits. Since there are only five targets in this level and 5,000 credits is all you can earn from destroying any of them, either with missiles or guns in this game, all you can earn from this mission is 75,000 credits. In the PAL version, however, the amount can be varied thanks to the two planes present. The F-117 Nighthawk is also unlocked for 320,000 credits.
Mission Dialogue
Briefing
An emergency warning has come in from our Coastal Patrol squadron. They have spotted an unidentified object in the water. It's probably a United Forces attack submarine. Since we have little naval strength in the area, it's up to you to respond. Your mission is to find the United Forces attack submarine and sink it. Over and out.
Mission Map
Delta Leader: (When mission is selected on the map) Our mission this time is to sink a submarine we think belongs to the United Forces. Keep your guard up.

Fangs of the Sea
Fangs of the Sea is the (discounting Fortress in the Sky and The Elite of the Desert which are both optional) sixth and final mission for Daeira Airbase in Airforce Delta Storm.
Reward
The reward for this mission is 40,000 credits. Since there are only five targets in this level and 8,000 credits is all you can earn from destroying any of them, either with missiles or guns in this game, all you can earn from this mission is 80,000 credits. In the PAL version though, you can earn a variable amount thanks to the two planes present. The XF-0001 Mercury is unlocked for 480,000 credits.
Differences
- The enemies in this level are S.S.B.N. Ohios rather than S.S.B.N. T.K.208s.
- The sky in this level is a cloudy and gray sunset while the sky in Lying in Wait is an orange and blue sunset.
Trivia
- In the PAL version of these missions, enemy planes actually appear. As noted in the mission headers, Su-34s appear in Lying in Wait, and F-26A Shrikes appear in Fangs of the Sea.
