ACT 1 - MISSION 4

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: Investigate a convoy distress call.


Background

Red-Alert Call: The Customs and Trade cruiser Nestorius has raised a distress call, attacked by the EA's 508th Aviation Regiment (previously the GTVA's Loaded Dice).

Walkthrough

You have two three-ship wings of Mihos fighters fighters, fixed with dual Prometheus cannons, Shadows and Shockers.

Start by cleaning out Tyr wing (four Mihos fighters) and Geri wing (four Boanerges bombers). Once they're done, the harassing convoy will take off.

Re-arm, then jump to where the convoy moved and link up with the Deimos-class Xenophon. Looks like a whole collaborator base.

Run defense for the Xenophon. Take care of Bragi, Buri and Hrid wings (Hercules Mark IIs, Mihos fighters and Boanerges bombers). After that, let the Xenophon deal with the two Leviathan-class cruisers (the Noble and Fearless.) Take out the main forward cannon of the Fearless to lessen the damage on the Xenophon (hide behind the latter if the missile turret is keeping a lock on you).

Once the cruisers are scratched, everyone else will scatter and a capture team will handle the base. Once that's done, return to base.
