You are right about the Corvette. Choose Thunderbolt and when you reach the leg
with the Corvette locate it at once, lock on target, toggle on afterburners,
tell your wingman to break, ignore kitty fighters, activate torpedo and fire it
as soon as it gains lock.

Swing around after firing and hit T many times to find the Skipper if it still
got launced. Keeping the afterburners on will able you to reach the slow flying
Skipper if necessary. When the Skipper is out help your wingman to finish of the
fighters.
