Here is something that I just recently wrote to another guy with the same
problem:
--
The skipper is too small for missile lock so you have to down it with guns. 
My tactics is:
- head directly towards the Corvette with afterburners
- tell your wingman to 'break and attack'
- lock to Corvette with L
- watch the radar to spot the yellow dot of a missile
- keep hitting T to find the missile (Caps Miss)
- try to shoot the damn thing
- it usually cloacks and flies past before it can be hit
- make a sharp 180 (turn of afterburners when turning to keep alignment with the
missile's path towards the transport)
- engage afterburners when heading is back to the transport
- when the skipper uncloaks you should me right behind it within gun range
It uncloacks only three times before impact.
