The most impressive features of the Amiga game are the external viewpoints which, if used effectively, can make your mission almost like a movie. Needless to say, once you're detected all hell breaks loose as enemy air-power comes onto the scene and SAM missiles roar skywards. Low-altitude, low-speed, level-flight keeps the EMV down, allowing you to penetrate further into enemy airspace without detection (although the higher the selected Opponent Quality level, the more experienced the enemy is, the better protected the target and the harder the mission becomes). An EMV Bar Gauge in the cockpit shows your Stealth rating, effectively your 'visibility' to the enemy.
