Oh yes, I remember this one, it got to me awhile too.  Okay, If we're talking 
about the same mission about protecting the medical corvettes, then this is 
what you can do:

	 You're flying this A-Wing, with six missiles, first fly ahead (I think 
of the medi frigate, and take down those three bombers, forget about the ties 
for now) Lowering your shields for now and then raising them later helps you 
get there faster.  Anyways take those first three bombers out quick, (one 
missile each should do it - but launch it chasing them, not flying at them 
cause your missile will surely miss) Then right after that three more bombers 
will be sent and go at them with your shields down, again forget the Ties. By 
this time you should have only three missiles left take them out quickly too, 
same method.  Then I think there should be another wave of bombers, now raise 
your shield to above normal, not max, and start taking the bombers out quick, 
then finish off the Ties then everything should be hunky dory! 

	 Oh yes, try to get to the 1st two waves of bombers before they can 
even launch a missile, because later I think the ties will have a harder time 
taking any of them down.

	...now if you know anyone with the strategy to TOD4 Mission 18, plesae 
ask them to mail me thanks. 

Later...
