If I remember well, it was safe to fly at about 10-11 meters, too high for the tanks to hit you but not high enough for the rockets coming from behind.
I would always fly high to tempt the missile out then go low and shoot it from behind. Didn't always work though. Half the time the missile would destro you.
I was about 6 years old when I played this game, and I remember I always have trouble to get the plane out of the base, only few times i succeeded, other times, I let brother or father to get the plane out. very great memories indeed.
By the time, the title change to a simply "RAID!" for diplomacy requeriments :) This is the first game with two endings I saw... The c64 version was just perfect!
Yeah the two ending bit makes a change. Even if you lost all your men you still felt as if you had achieved something. What is it with people coming on here talking about C64.
This was when US gold released decent games when you think back to the time. Probably their finest achievement was the planes flying from the aircraft carrier in Beach-Head. That still amazes me now!
nice demo of how not to play this game

Not as superb as the C64 obviously but the Spectrum had it's own charms and no doubt people enjoyed this version too
Happy lost days these and i count myself lucky to have been there when most of it all happened

I had the same trouble as well! Took a bit of practise to master. A well put together game.
