Deathmask Frigate

An idea I had floating in my head for some time.

=========================================
== WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ==
=========================================

URGENT:
Our forces are under attack, and our SAMs were unable to defend our post. Either knocked out by a team, or blasted from a distance by this thing.

These Deathmasks are notorious for striking at a distance, and flanking ships from the sides, using their mighty shields to protect the vital hull of the ship. Even so, the design flaw has been looked upon by the engineers since our last skirmish against these things. Even after you get past the shield, jumping behind it, or shooting it off you still have a hailstorm of fire to get past. Even the engines that make it hover are guarded by turrets.

Since we're lacking air support here, it's up to you to shoot this bastard out of the sky.

NOTE:
Still working on it, I'll paint it when I'm done.

Difficulty so far: Fun (Not too hard, but still a challenge, but not an easy battle either)
Average time to beat (My time): 2-5 minutes (depending on strategy)

EDIT:
Feel free to give me suggestions on how to make these more fun to fight. On that note, isn't it satisfying not being able to destroy this "impossible" beast with a single smart bomb? You have to actually work to beat it (or drop 5-9 smart bombs, or a few well placed frendship cannons; decoys kinda make the battle a little too easy though), and that's what makes it fun. Even a lazy bloke like me enjoys working on deconstructing this thing with a gun.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM TO OTHER BUILDERS:
Sorry about my rudeness, but something that can be taken out by a single smart bomb (though, admittedly, a little OP), or takes less than a minute to destroy (I timed my runs on other creations, and been averaging out in that range) is not impossible, or even remotely difficult (then again, I've been playing FPSs since Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and Unreal (Godlike difficulty preferred); so I'm a tad experienced when it comes to taking things out; be they hordes of zombies, or colossal beasts.). Obnoxious would be more accurate. Add some HP to these things, and work the multipliers a bit. Make it fun, not impossible.
