Dreadnought in WC-3

I'm in a mission where I have to kill a bunch of fighters and then two corvettes before I get
to a dreadnought.  I've tried a few different things but haven't been able to take it out yet.
I was able to sneak up from behind and blow away its rear shield and put its aft area in
the red, but it wouldn't die.  When I try to go at it from the front or mid areas it has these big
guns that shoot yellow lasers at me that blow the living crap out of me.  I'm pretty sure I need
to kill this thing to continue the mission, because the auto light never comes on and nothing
else happens.  I even tried to return to base without engaging the autopilot but they wouldn't
grant me clearance.

So how do I kill this thing?  It takes so long to go through the mission just to get to the dreadnought
that I don't have a lot of room for experimentation.  I really wish WC 3 would let you save your game
anywhere in a mission.  Having to constantly repeat the same part of  a mission to get to the part
you're stuck in gets tedious real fast.

Thanks in advance for any help.
