ACT 2, MISSION 3

Fighter squadron: 134th Barracudas'

Description: CEU of the GTF Pegasus


Background

The 134th will test the new GTF Pegasus stealth fighter. Alpha wing will protect the GTC Oberon, a derelict Fenris cruiser using conventional fighters, while Delta wing (Flying the GTF Pegasus) attacks.

Walkthrough

You have to test the new GTF Pegasus-class stealth fighter in this mission. You fly against them. By equipping your fighter with the Morning Star, there is a high possibility of defending the Oberon on Normal difficulty for two minutes. When the two minutes have passed, a wing of Nahemas jumps in and destroys the Oberon (if its still alive). Destroy that wing as quickly as possible and then charge back to the Aquitaine. A wing of Nephilim bombers will jump in, destroy it to. After that, you can concentrate on the Shivan corvette that appears. Take out its beam-turrets and if you are planning on pounding it with Tempests or Hornets, destroy the flak guns to.

On lower difficulty settings, the Aquitaine won't do enough damage to the Moloch to destroy it. The solution to this problem is to play this mission on Normal difficulty level or higher. On the other hand, the Oberon is extremely difficult to defend on Hard or Insane difficulty.
