Lions Den
King's Gambit
High Noon
Slaying Ravana (Easiest mission in FS2 IMO, the Ravana doesn't even try to jump out and doesn't kill any corvettes, all you've gotta do is take out a few flak/laser turrets)
Bearbaiting

RE: Game of Tag

    I didn't mind the mission, my main complaint is my wingman was on guardian and kept saying "come on, help me out here" because five maras were sitting there, pelting her disabled piece of crap with laser fire. And that ruined any realism for me.

you have to order it to form on your wing in order for it to folow you back to the corvette. But it is not of much use, anyway.

Oh, thank you HighMax.

Well, I am a big fan of the serie, although not a big pilot, and I have finished the whole original mission but once (going for the second round now) so, knowing the missions by heart is not quite possible here.

I know this is not the thread for strategies, but since it is linked directly to missions itself, I ask: any of you choose fighters even when your role in the mission is supposed to be bomeber?

For instance: you're alpha wing, heavy bombers, and would have beta wing of myrmidons to support.

Usually, I change my own ship for a heavly armed Myrmidon, with Swarm and heat seekers, for dogfighting, and change beta wing for heavy bombers. Then I spend the mission giving radio orders for them to hit on big targets, while I buzz around alone, killing the fighters and bombers that might appear.

Seems easier for me that way, since the AI-wingman pilots are usually better with stationary targets.

I'm a bomber pilot at heart, and given the option I will actually fly a light or medium bomber rather then a heavy fighter in most cases. (The Eryines is the exception, and I'll fly that in preference to any bomber.) Often if assigned to escort a bomber wing I'll swap them out for fighters and fly a bomber myself.

The Bakha and Sekhmet are excellent heavy assault fighters.

..actually, I suspect he doesn't. But I'd disagree about the Bakha. There's something screwy about it, and it doesn't dogfight well...I'm not sure what, but it's there.

The Artemis would be the pinnacle of ownage if its guns weren't so widely spaced and it was possible to hit a fighter with both shots.
