After over a year of PlayStation 5 exclusivity, Project Wingman: Frontline-59 comes back to its root audience on PC. This upload is the first in a short series of videos dedicated to completing the six-mission campaign on Mercenary difficulty with two notable modifiers, Ace Training (enemy spawns with the highest rank) and Double Time (enemy fighter spawns are doubled), technically making the playthrough harder than Mercenary difficulty by itself.
Well, this is a game I haven’t touched in a long time, so I had to get back up in shape to tackle the difficulty spike in this DLC compared to the vanilla game.
I assure you that subsequent missions are shorter to complete since there aren’t as many aerial spawns as this version of Bottom of the Barrel. This would’ve taken less time to complete with Glass Cannon, but also riskier due to the sheer amount of enemies firing missiles at you; higher tier planes were considered, but I decided to pick one with Eye-Tee, she’s got some nice banter as a WSO.

Dev team: How many Railguns should we give Thorn Rose sqaudron?
Dev lead: yes.
Top incrível 👏
4 reservists taking on an entire division of battle hungry and angry mercs? I liked those odds
Is it me, or do the graphics here seem a bit lower quality than the PS5?
Yeah this mission on mercenary with those modifiers is ridiculous. I managed to do it with the VX-23 on mercenary with glass cannon, double time, Ace training without taking damage. It was pretty damn difficult. Can’t imagine this without glass cannon.
what's the soundtrack name for this mission?
Fun fact, Federation Campaign has more hilarious than Sicario/Cascadian Campaign 😅
