Complete Part 7 of the Battlefield 3 walkthrough, focusing on the 'Clear Sky' and 'Secure Airfield Airspace' objectives, including jet combat and ground assault strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Pre-Flight & Takeoff: Follow on-screen prompts for pre-flight checks and takeoff. Look left and right when prompted to check the wing and flaps.
  2. 2
    Destroy Enemy Jets (Objective - Clear Sky):
  3. 3
    Keep the first target jet in sight. Select missiles, aim, and lock on by keeping the crosshair on the enemy. Fire when locked.
  4. 4
    Enemies deploy countermeasures, so continuous firing is necessary. Aiming can be difficult; stay focused.
  5. 5
    When alarms sound (beep beep beep), deploy countermeasures by hitting "X" to evade incoming missiles. Keep your ears open for the alarm.
  6. 6
    Enemy jets will attack from behind and in front. When they are behind you, deploy countermeasures to make their missiles miss.
  7. 7
    You must destroy a total of five jets. Stay calm and focused. After the first three, you'll need to defend and attack simultaneously, so keep countermeasures ready.
  8. 8
    Destroy SAM Sites & Parked Planes (Objective - Secure Airfield Airspace):
  9. 9
    Select HARM missiles. Use right-click to zoom and move the sight to lock onto stationary targets. Destroy three SAM sites.
  10. 10
    Switch to JDAM and infra missiles. Zoom out and look for small white parked planes. Destroy four of them.
  11. 11
    Destroy two more planes that are attempting to escape by switching targets.
  12. 12
    Finally, switch your sights to the bulk of enemy personnel and fire to end this phase.
  13. 13
    Ground Assault - Mortar & Wall Climb:
  14. 14
    After the airfield sequence, proceed to the next area. Run behind the NPC with the follow marker to the end and deploy the mortar using "E".
  15. 15
    Go to the wall and climb over it by getting a boost from the marine nearby.
  16. 16
    Important: Do not pick up any other weapons found on the ground; the starting weapons are best for this mission.
  17. 17
    Destroy Enemy MG Positions / Secure Apartment Block:
  18. 18
    After crossing the wall, run to the follow NPC. When he crouches near water, find cover behind rocks and eliminate enemies on the other side.
  19. 19
    Follow the NPC to where enemies previously appeared. Take cover behind a slab.
  20. 20
    Go prone and aim at the red attack marker on the wall to the right – this is an MG position. A marine will throw a grenade to destroy it.
  21. 21
    The next attack marker will appear ahead. Move towards it, staying to the right. If shot, go prone and use cover.
  22. 22
    Tip for First MG: If having trouble, do not climb stairs. Go prone near the middle of the stairs, zoom in with right-click, and slowly eliminate visible enemies.
  23. 23
    To reach the second MG position, move left along the large wall and go prone or crouch near the broken edge. Be aware of enemies close by on the other side of the wall.
  24. 24
    Alternatively, use the cement slab to the left of the broken wall for cover.
  25. 25
    After the MG nest is cleared, a "move" icon will appear instead of an attack icon for the next MG. To avoid fighting endless enemies, reach the next objective area from cover to cover.
  26. 26
    Move immediately from your current position after the second MG is bombed, as enemies will be on the wall. Run to where the second MG was, scouting the area for remaining enemies. Follow your squad if they advance.
  27. 27
    It's advisable to go prone near the rocks close to the next objective to avoid enemy fire from the complex. Use Shift (run) to get up and immediately Z (prone) to dive between cover points (e.g., sandbags) for faster movement.
  28. 28
    From the sandbags, move to the right edge and look at the rocks ahead. Run and dive to these rocks, then dive again to a large rock straight ahead.
  29. 29
    From the large rock, look right to see a broken wall where marines take cover. Quickly move there with your weapon ready.
  30. 30
    Run forward to the end, ignoring incoming fire. At the end, check for enemies, including one in a window to the right of the stairs.
  31. 31
    Go up the stairs and stay with your squad. A grenade will be thrown inside the apartment.
Tips
  • Keep your ears open for the alarm to deploy countermeasures effectively.
  • Conserve ammunition when possible, especially during long engagements.
  • Utilize cover frequently during ground assaults to minimize damage.
  • Follow squad movements closely, as they often indicate safe paths or objectives.
