Cobra on your wing is a good choice. Use a Thunderbolt & Switch out
your heat-seekers for IR's. At Nav 1 kill the carrier fast to prevent
more waves from launching. Arm torpedos before heading to Nav 2 & take
out the Corvette first before it can launch it's skipper missle at the
Victory. If the Corvette manages to fire the skipper go after that &
let your wingman have everything else.
