- Use the laser turret to take out the missle launchers so your Mantas have a
- better chance of surviving...

-
- The viewing drone is used to target the cruise missle launcher, which is
- mounted to the rear of your carrier. So, if you rotate the carrier 180 degrees,
- with its rear facing the island, you may be able to fire some missiles. I
- wouldn't bother, though...

-
- When operating near a hostile island, you should always keep Mantas under
- manual control. The best method for "liberating" an island is to load a
- Manta up with the missles, the fly straight for the island command center,
- and dump your full load of missiles on it. You should use the same method to
- first take out any drone defense units (ya know, them volcano lookin' things)
- if there are any on that particular island.

-
- The Walrus is next to useless in an assault. All they're really good for is
- dropping the command center generator once you've liberated the island.
