So ... is there any trick to mission 5? I have to escort two bombers (i guess they are bombers) and cover them while they destroy two raiders. But no matter what I do, those bombers are evading and shooting with their guns and not firing any torpedoes. After a while raider take out my bombers and my orders change to destroy those raiders myself ... with my light fighter
It's like my bombers don't have any torpedoes at all...
Your question is discussed with a lot of hints given in the "Vage Invasion" thread. The mission is definetly doable, and yes, you can save both ISS pilots.
