• Your actions in this mission will affect the course of the game. Try not to use any missiles at NAV 1 since you will need them later
• When you reach NAV 2, let loose with some missiles. The red Mantas are trying to escape to attack Ella, and if they do escape, your mission will fail.
• As soon as you arrive, order your wingmen to attack the Manta that is furthest away. Target the nearest Manta and keep pummelling with Mosquito missiles and guns until it dies. Repeat with the second Manta, making sure to destroy it as quickly as possible. If the last Manta is still alive attack that as well, using Artemis missiles if you can't catch up with it.
• At NAV 3 be sure to take out a good load of fighters before going in for torpedo runs. Use up the rest of your missiles at this NAV point
• When going in for torpedo runs on the Triton transports, it is essential that you take out any turrets before launching torpedoes at it. The turrets are extremely good at shooting down your torps, and if too many miss you won't have enough to finish the job.

Success / Failure go to B2a.
