*Wonders if he should remake his storyline-help thread.*
The storyline isn't busted, just alot more difficult. Takes an experienced and skilled pilot to beat it.
Guys, there are tricks in every mission to help you get through them.
*Cough* Spoilers!
For Strangecase.. Best advice is to UPGRADE from Crusader before going out of Kusari. You should be in nothing short of a Barracuda or Dragon with torpedos.
A simple trick to helping you kill those cursed bot/batters of storyline, is to use starkiller torpedoes. Make sure that when you take the shield, its staying down, not getting batted. Then pop a torp into them, no botting from them, and your able to get those yourself.
The fleet in Tau-29, the trick to in and out. You fly in, pop a fighter or take a chunk of hull off one of the gunboats, and fly out. You don't have to worry about Juni, or Razor-1, they are invincible. Let them get most of the heat while you take potshots.
The Tekagi's Arch mission, ignore the battleship and destroyer. Go after the gunboat if you wish, sometimes it will chase you. Leave the fighters alone except for the first pass. Do as much damage as you can to them as you make your way to the Arch. Blow the 4 shield generators with torps and hull-hurting guns as fast as you can, and then dock. After that its all just to get through the blockade that Juni comes and attacks, and to head to Kyoto.
Sigma-13 mission. Much the same as the Tau-29. Kill the fighters, then just dodge. Stay close to out-of-range and duck back in every once in awhile to shoot at the BS until they tell you to head to New Berlin.
Frankfurt Shipyard mission. Ignore all defenders. The Bundschuh will deal with them. Take out one of the Nomad battleships ASAP and then the one guy will suicide the station. After that, hurry your arse out of there.
When you meet with the Osiris, use it as a shield against any turrets shooting at you from the RH BS (most should just focus on the Osiris) popping up occasionally to shoot at it.
