*For medals that require you to "clear the campaign," you CANNOT earn these medals through free mission. The game requires that you play through the entire campaign mode and meet the conditions of the medal in order to earn it.
Unlockable planes, etc. - You can unlock all planes except the last two by clearing the game once on Normal difficulty. The last two craft are unlocked by completing Hard and Expert difficulties.
Unlockable paint schemes - Clear the game once on Normal and unlock the Estovokian scheme. [link=http://users.ign.com/about/Syco21]Syco21[/link] says, "You unlock the third color scheme by shooting down the enemy ace flying the respective plane, and this aces can only be found in the Expert and Ace difficulties."
Tips for brains:
[li]Buying and selling craft and SP weapons add the same amount of credits back to your account; sell the planes you don't need for better ones later.[/li]
[li]If you are short on credits, simply replay a mission on Free Mission mode for some extra cash.[/li]
[li]Operation medals can be earned in Free Mission mode on any difficulty.[/li]
