Objective: Clear the Boneyard
- As the gunner of the AC-130, your role is to provide air support, covering the entire boneyard area and eliminating enemy threats.
- Engage enemy SAM turrets and aircraft attempting takeoffs from the runway while ground forces search the hangars for Makarov's cache of chemical weapons.
- After finding no chemicals in the first hangar, the ground team moves to the second hangar to neutralize the chemical weapons.
Mission Conclusion:
While the ground team secures the chemicals in the second hangar, the player faces waves of enemy tanks, helicopters, and jets attempting to regain control of the area. Protection of the ground team is crucial, utilizing all gunship weaponry and deploying flares to evade enemy missiles.
Upon clearing the airfield, it's revealed that Makarov is on the base, and a helicopter potentially containing him emerges. The helicopter is destroyed, and the second hangar is leveled to prevent the chemicals from falling into the wrong hands.
The mission ends with Task Force 141 examining the helicopter's wreckage, but there's no sign of Makarov.
