Metal Hawk/Area H-3

Welcome to the game. Metal Hawk will start out directly over the static boat on the right-hand side of the area, which has two Type 1 Cannons mounted on top of it; they will not fire any anti-aircraft missiles at you just yet because it is only the start of the game. Push the lever up to descend to about 150 metres and drop a missile on each of the cannons to kill them for 10 points apiece, then drop a missile on the centre of the boat to destroy it for 20 more points. Once you have done so, an arrow will appear and point you towards a group of five Mini Battleships sailing through the water with a full-sized Battleship at the head - and while you are trying to drop a missile on each of them for 10 more points apiece (the full-sized one is worth 20), you will have to deal with seven Red Heri flying towards you (which can also be killed for 10 more points apiece). Once you have killed them all, the arrow will reappear to point you towards an island (which is not shown on the image to the right); it has a small building on it which can be destroyed for 20 points, three gas tanks which can be destroyed for 30 points apiece, and four Type 3 Cannons which can be destroyed for 10 points apiece. Once you have scored over 300 points, Metal Hawk will fly back up to its highest altitude of 400 metres and off the top of the screen. You will then receive 10 bonus points for every second you have remaining, and the highest military ranking you can have attained at this point is that of a Sergeant. Metal Hawk will now proceed to Area E-4: Canal Zone.
