Like I already said, bombers are a priority, no matter which wings jump in. Let the Taurets toy a bit and destroy them once you have the time.
There will also be 2 warships: a GVC and a GVCv. The first is pretty easy to destroy, the second is a nightmare (esp. to the Iceni). Once it flies in, try to destroy all the beam turrets first. At approximately the same time, you'll get orders to intercept any incoming asteroids, do this once the turrets have been taken out. The asteroids have a higher priority than fighters which might harass you.
If a lot of them impact the Iceni, it's history too. Only engage fighters if you have a short break!
If you want to know the damage the asteroids do in combination with the
GVCv, I suggest you stand down and watch the Iceni health indicator diminish rapidly.

Objectives

Primary objectives: Escort the SUNDER
Secondary Objectives: None
Ship and loadout
----------------
Default:
Ship: GTF Hercules Mark II
Guns: GTW-5a Prometheus (R) Cannon
GTW Subach HL-7
Missiles: GTM MX-6 Tempest Missile
GTM-19 Harpoon
Possibilities:
Ships: GTF Hercules

Mission Overview
----------------
* Protect SUNDER
* Destroy NTF Fighters
* Protect HAMAKO
* Destroy Kappa
* Destroy Iota
* Destroy MYLAE
* Destroy Leo
* Destroy Gemini
* Destroy HELLESPONT
* Destroy Taurus
* Destroy Pisces
* Destroy Aries
* Destroy Aquarius
Suddenly, the rest of the fighter escort discovers that you are a traitor. Take them out with the help of the lieutenant. They are all
Hercs Mark II, but they are pretty easy to defeat.
Then additional NTF Fighters will jump in, but they won't attack you.
Once the GTVA Fighters jump in, the NTF's will become hostile. So kill them too.
A little while later the Mylae will jump in with a Herc Fighter escort.
First take out the fighters, the Mylae doesn't do a lot of damage. The
Hercs shouldn't take too long with the help of the other GTVA fighters. Then take out the Mylae ... also pretty easy.
Then the Hellespont will jump in, together with a fighter escort which consists of Hercs and Hercs Mark II. I suggest you leave the Hercs alone for the moment and concentrate on the Hellespont, it does a lot of damage to the Sunder if you intercept it too late. Prioritize the beam turrets, once they are take care of ... go for the kill. A friendly Corvette will jump in to assist you. If there are any fighters left after the destruction of the Hellespont, engage them too.
Once all friendly ships have jumped out of the area, wait for the NTC rendezvous ships and then return to base.
4.20 Mission 19 - ... But Hate the Traitor
___________________________________________
Objectives
----------
Primary objectives: Destroy targets of opportunity
Secondary Objectives: None
Ship and loadout
----------------
Default:
Ship: GTF Myrmidon
Guns: GTW Subach HL-7 (2x)
Missiles: GTM MX-6 Tempest Missile
GTM MX-64 Rockeye (2x)
Possibilities:
Ships: None
Guns: GTW-5a Prometheus (R) Cannon
Missiles: GTM-4 Hornet Swarm Missile
Mission Overview
----------------
* Destroy Alastor
* Destroy Beta
* Destroy Alpha
* Destroy Gemini
* Destroy Cancer
* Destroy SAHARAN
Start by taking out the sentry guns. Once that's done a transport
(Elysium) will jump in. Don't engage it! After a few warnings the NTF
Fighters will turn hostile. This is the most difficult part of this mission. Take out the Myrmidons as soon as possible ... don't be afraid to use missiles to take out the first targets in a few seconds.
Otherwise you'll get a bunch of fighters behind you and that's not recommendable.
Once they are taken care of, a little while later, more Myrmidons will appear. Luckily additional fighter wings will jump in to help you.
First take out the cruiser then concentrate on the fighters. Once they all are destroyed, return to the GTVA base ... Your undercover SOC missions are over.

Objectives

Primary objectives: Escort the VAUBAN to the WARSPITE
Escort the ERINPURA to the WARSPITE
Secondary Objectives: Protect the LUCIDITY
Ship and loadout
----------------
Default:
Ship: GTF Perseus
Guns: GTW-5a Prometheus (R) Cannon
GTW Subach HL-7
Missiles: GTM-19 Harpoon
GTM-4 Hornet Swarm Missile
Possibilities:
Ships: None
Guns: GTW ML-70 Morning Star
GTW-19 Circe
Missiles: GTM MX-6 Tempest Missile
GTM MX-64 Rockeye
Mission Overview
----------------
* Destroy Scorpio
* Destroy Libra
* Destroy MALOR
* Destroy Cancer
* Destroy Virgo
Wait until the ships you need to escort to jump in. Once they do, just wait for the first enemy wing to jump in. Once they do, take them (SF
Manticores) out. Later on, you'll get some Maras on your back, but they shouldn't pose a problem either.
Once the cruiser jumps in, call in Zeta wing. They are more fit to take out cruisers, I wouldn't worry to much about the cruiser if you called in Zeta. They can take care of it pretty fast. You keep your eye on new incoming wings of fighters and bombers. Once the bombers (SB
Nephelims) arrive, make sure you take them out first. The freighters and the Lucidity have a real lowthresholdd for damage so ...
Overall, this mission was pretty easy to complete. There are lots of dead moments in between the different wings, giving you plenty of time to recover.
4.22 Mission 21 - A game of TAG
________________________________
Objectives
----------
Primary objectives: Test the TAG missile system
Destroy all Shivan fighters
Protect the WARSPITE
Protect the LUCIDITY
Secondary Objectives: None
Ship and loadout
----------------
Default:
Ship: GTF Ulysses
Guns: GTW-5a Prometheus (R) Cannon
GTW Subach HL-7
Missiles: GTI TAG-A Missile
Possibilities:
Ships: None
Guns: None
Missiles: None
Mission Overview
----------------
* TAG Cancer
* TAG Scorpio
* Destroy Leo
* Destroy Virgo
* Destroy Libra
At first you'll encounter some Basilisks. You can either tag them or destroy them, it doesn't really matter, as long as they get destroyed.
But, as expected, something goes wrong: an (unexpected) wing of Shivan fighters jump in ... including bombers!
Once this happens, TAG as many different targets as possible ... once this is done, you can easily finish them off with your guns. Remember that the TAG-A is a dumbfire missile, so try to get in close before you fire it. You'll notice that your target is tagged by the yellow (instead of red) brackets around them. The tag will wear off after a few seconds. Also keep in mind that the target should be within 3000m of the capital ship ... otherwise it's useless.
Just make sure you intercept the bombers in time. Once they are gone, you'll surely be able to finish the mission without any further complications.
