Briefing
With the BANSHEE heavy bomber in our arsenal we are
preparing for our final strike, but sensors are detecting
a large squad of ships that seem to match the signatures
of SHOK'LAR that aren't cloaked. Fly the BANSHEE and
ensure that the Kilrathi do not reach the LEXINGTON.

Tactical Advice
- There's only one thing to do here -- wait until they come down your throat, then blast them all the way down.
- There's no point in trying to evade or outrun, so reduce speed to zero and just keep moving with an occasional afterburner tap, giving you maximum targeting stability.
- You have a couple of dumbfires, so go ahead and use them any time the enemy is in close and you think you have even the haziest chance for a hit. If you miss, no big deal, but if you hit you'll probably take him out, so go ahead and gamble.
- You might be able to tag a Shok'lar with your FF, which doesn't need to lock. Release the missile when an enemy is right at the end of his attack run, to give him as little time as possible to engage his cloak or shoot down your missile.
