In ACAH, some good skills need get A rank in each stage of Free Mission. But the Hurricane is the hardest one to get A above other missions. Because in Free Mission, your rank is dependent on your source during the stage. Your scores is dependent on your difficulty(higher difficulty means higher multiple), your plane's multiple(the older and slower plane you have your multiple is also higher), your destruction(Gun bonus, Multiple-kill, DFM chains and DFM fast kill) and your time to clear the stage. Your destruction is better and your time is less, your final scores will be better too. Is it like AC7's ranking system?
All right, let's back to the theme. In this stage, your scores need to reach 1800 to get rank A. When your time to clear the mission in 5 mins your will gain a huge time bonus in 900, but when you out of the time the bonus will decrease to 300, it means you'd better clear this mission in 5 mins, in the other words, start mission and finally shot Illich's PAKFA down in 5 mins.
However, if you clear the mission so fast that you ignore other enemy's plane, the destruction will be very low, it will made you only get B or C. But if you chase these miscellaneous soldier too long and forget Markov and Illich, you'll lose them(Mission failed) or waste too much time.
All in all, you need have a balance between destroying trash fish(or underling) and clear the mission in very limited time. Though this mission have some issues, I also recommend you to do some practices in this stage. The mission is very suitable to train your ability about the use of DFM, especially test your might in some dogfight-specializationed planes like Su-47 and CFA-44. More practice you have, more skills you will be used in Multiplayer and ACE difficulty campaigns.
