-
- This is a very, very difficult mission. I seem to remember that I
- purposefully shot up my wingman and then ordered him to return to
- base, just to keep him alive (he has to be damaged before he will
- return to base).
-
- If I remember right, there are four Rapiers. There is also the
- "enemy" cruiser. I used two solutions:
-
- (1) Ignore the fighters, go for the cruiser. You have to afterburn
- in, hit the cruiser with everything you have, and afterburn out.
- Repeat as needed. You will be *very* badly shot up by the time this
- is over. The only good thing is that for some reason, only one or two
- Rapiers at a time attack you.
-
- (2) As soon as they come on screen, open fire. Try to kill the first
- one in the first pass. Use *one* missile if necessary. Don't worry
- about getting hit--you're going to really get mauled anyway.
- Afterburn above them and then turn about. Then just fly around. Get
- a few hits on a ship and afterburn away. You can't afford to lock
- onto a target (except maybe for a missile fire). Use your missiles
- fairly early 'cause they're gonna get shot off if you don't. Again,
- this is very difficult, but it can be done, unlike that damn Ralari
- mission from WC1 <grin>.
-
- Hope this helps.
