While there are a ton of cool gameplay elements in Pandemic's Mercenaries, none gets the blood pumping more than the wide range of airstrikes you can call in at any time. If you've unlock them, and you can afford to fork out some of your hard-earned cash, you can have death delivered to your enemies from above. Each one works well in different situations, so be sure to practice, practice, practice!

Air Superiority - Calls in an Allied fighter that will shoot down any enemy helicopters in the area.

Artillery - Very cost-effective but somewhat dangerous support. There are varying levels of artillery support, each covering a wider area and lasting for a longer period of time.

Bunker Buster Bomb - 5,000 lb, fifteen-foot long laser-guided bomb that can penetrate bunkers and other hardened buildings before detonating. Very effective against North Korea's tunnel network.

Carpet Bomb - Devastating wide-area attack. An Allied bomber delivers over 12 tons of explosives to the targeted location.

Cluster Bomb - Multiple bomblets are scattered over a wide area from a low-altitude plane. Best used against infantry and light vehicles.

Cruise Missile Strike - Submarine-launched cruise missile that can punch through fortified buildings before detonating.


Fuel-Air Bomb - Special bomb design deploys a cloud of flammable gas vapor that ignites, producing a massive shockwave.

Gunship Support - Direct a high-altitude gunship to fire a barrage of cannons at a designated target. The gunship is capable of striking multiple targets with very high accuracy.

Stealth Bomber Attack - Smaller scale attack than the carpet bomb, effective against nearly any target type.

Stealth Fighter Attack - Precision air strike that's well suited for covert operations.

Strategic Missile Strike - The Russian Mafia have stolen a number of FROG missiles from North Korean.

Surgical Strike - Simple but effective laser-guided strike that can be used to knock out tanks or key buildings.

Tank Buster - Calls for an Allied tank buster plane that will fly through and automatically attack enemy vehicles with heavy anti-tank missiles.

Now that you know what kind of damage you can inflict your foes, get out there and start bombing the hell out of everything you see!
