Wing Commander Armada Playtesters' Guide
Tactical Advice
- Your first checkpoint has no enemies. Take a minute to make sure you have everything in your cockpit et to your preferences (and coordinate with your wingman, if you're playing 2-Player Gauntlet), then hit Autopilot.
- On this mission you're small and fast, and so is the enemy. With such a small, quick target it can be awfully frustrating just trying to get a bead on the enemy. Watch for flips, and try to catch him with a shot then -- this is practically the only time a Dralthi pauses for even an instant.
- The Arrow has lots of energy in relation to the size of its guns, which means you can probably get off 7 to 9 shots in a given pass before you start skipping. Time your shots to take full advantage of this. After an attack run, don't turn directly back towards the enemy. Instead, turn in a random direction and put a little distance between you and him, to give your guns a chance to recharge.
