This is for the Rebel heavy xwing mission. Is it borked or am I doing something wrong? We're going for Weapon 5, then Shields, the 2ndary Shields, but run out of bombs and can't do any damage otherwise.

Dont kill weapon 5. No gunboats protecting this vettes rear end, so there is alreadya huge blindspot right behind the engines. Get 1 guy with 3 MKII spacebombs loaded. Kill the fighters (WITHOUT HITTING THE VETTE!!!) and cozy up to the vette's rear end. Target primary shield, and launch. When that is gone, target secondary shield, and launch. Then target engine and launch. Stay in the blind spot or 1k+ from the vette til your guys take over the vette. Then, do the escort.
Gun #5 will come in handy when fighters and gunboats spawn and try to kill your vette. I always prefer escorting something that is fully armed and very dangerous to escorting a limping bantha with missing teeth.

In order to kill the shields without missles, you have to come at them from ahead of the vette, not behind it. Stay below it, come towards it very slowly to give yourself time to kill both shields.
