ZirePhoenix Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 For those that know about the "black hole" encounter... my wingman seem to like flying into them and die within the first 2 minutes of that stage... is there a way to stop them from doing that?

Zombie Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Monitor the distance between yourself and all the alien ships. If one of the UFOs tries to escape through the black hole, it'll probably be the one farthest away (we obviously know how to stay safe around black holes). If this is the case, tell the wingman to ignore the target. It's a real hassle, but has to be done to keep your team alive. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZirePhoenix Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I find that after trying a couple times, 3-4 of them will live, which is more than enough for the next stage... The Wingman are surprisingly deadly with 2 phase cannons and 2 tracking turrets... everything dies super fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I usually arm my wingmen on the weak side because the AI for them is so strong. A couple Gatling Lasers and dual X-Winder missile launchers is enough concentrated firepower to severely damage or cripple UFOs. Then I sweep in with a more powerful setup and blast the ship to kingdom come. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
