Crimson Skies Playthrough (PC) Mission 17 HARDEST mode (The pirate's duel)

Mission 17/24

You want to talk about a hard mission? Well holy F***! This one is insane. It is by far the most difficult mission in the game, especially on hardest. All you get is a crappy default autogyro with pathetic 30 caliber guns, almost no armor, and no speed; the thing sucks in virtually all categories except agility.

So limited were my options that this video denotes the only successful tactic I could employ to beat the level.
Booth must be at the first point you inspect. I shoot him down quickly before he gets active and quickly turn my attention to the incoming brigands. (I use seeker rockets here because they do more damage and have an extra rocket per hardpoint when compared to the high explosive missiles. Destroy the 1st brigand quickly so you can take care of his partner with limited trouble. (keep a medium distance from them and their turrets) With both planes down quickly retreat to the pandora. It provides an excellent shield and has some anti air turrets to boot. If you can find an isolated brigand here destroy it quickly while 1 or 2 of them are busy with swan. (Its all about divide and conquer)

30cal is not a problem if you got 2 of them, so you can mix 30 cal ap with 30 cal dd.

30cal ex just sucks though :D

you aint lying man, the easist way I foudn to deal with the brigands is to match thier speed or slower so you can keep distance from all their guns but this only works when fighting 2, any more and you F**ked, hard
