Tactical Operations Briefing: TOD 2 Mission 9Take Out Intrepid's EscortTo complete this mission Viper 1, 2, and 3, and GUNs Mu, Rho and
Tau need to be killed. There are 3 GUNs in each group. On starting
this mission assign the three CRVs to memory, that way they are
easy to find during the battle. Send your wingmen after the first
CRV (the nearest), they will launch Torpedoes at it and normally
get it's sheilds down. You can then fire two more torpedoes into
it to finish it off. The GUNs will be coming after you now so tell
your Wingmen to go after the second CRV and engage the GUNs yourself.
As all nine GUNs are present at once there is not much point in
disabling them. Use a ELS setting of 100/75 and switch to dual fire
lasers to take them out one at a time. Do not use your torpedoes
on the GUNs. After you have destroyed them head for the second CRV
and kill that if your Wingmen are not able to (assign Top Ace Wingmen
at the start if you can). Fire your last six torpedoes into the
second CRV. This will kill it. If the shields are already down just
use 2 torpedoes as that will be enough. Then use whatever you have
left on the third CRV and finish it off with lasers. You will have
to make sure that you keep your shields charged and balanced as
the GUNs fire a lot of missiles at you. Fortunatly the Y-Wing has
excellent shields and can stand a couple of hits. Then if you feel
like it go after the STD, this will bring on another group of GUNs,
but it is not needed to complete the mission. |
