i dont remember this game so hard and i cant change to any beta branch since its then request code
any advice whats wrong here?

Fit the Angelwing with 3 x E-Shells and 2 x rapid fire hull weapons and follow the target that the Chrome attacks, ignore the convoy altogether, use manual focus mode.

i tried that didnt work after i killed one ship chrome was down and they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up. with 3 shells i cant down shields without chrome. i won with 4 torpedos killed the one attacking chrome and one attacking me then run away

If 3 eshells won't work, add a fourth...
Simply switch the data scanner for another eshell, or kill the Raptor ships with a single sliver gun once its shields are down. The latter only works if you keep pounding the target Raptor ship with 2 eshells while bombarding it with your single sliver gun.

Like i said before..... follow the target that the chrome attacks, this mission teaches you to focus fire with an ally.

Mission is definitely behaving differently from the version I has on CD. I believe it is indeed bugged: sometimes Chrome fails to even attack.

Just been through the mission with the above layout and everything is working fine, only ship that cant be destroyed is the Raptor Master (Annhilator) which is a scripted ship.

Heh, yeah I have tried restarting this mission multiple times and Chrome has not fired a single shot. Weird, but makes the mission nigh unplayable.

remember to fit an eccm if you have issues hitting the enemy ships

Its a bug. The difficulty just rises from mission to mission. So that either at the raptor raid or the chase, you have 0 chance on scratching even one ship.
it affects the whole campaign. So you have to start again. And than it can strike again at any given time.
Thanks to the long tutorial, the game basically becomes unplayable.

It is NOT a case of missing skill.

Necrothread, but eh.

Bug with Chrome not attacking will not be solved with restarting the mission and seem too be triggered if Chrome is ever destroyed and you reloading after that. You need to replay the previous mission or load a save just before entering a wormhole. So there's no need to restart the whole campaign.

Writing this, since in the past I restarted the campaign each time I encountered this bug, slogging through slow af first missions, but seems like nowadays I'm smarter.

3 energy shells is not possible - only 2 are available

If you switch between the fighter/craft and devices screens, there's (only for the Angelwing) a single device for each slot to add to the Angelwing.

Angelwing has a special ability. Any device installed on her once becomes infinite stock, so load one E-shell then save. Exit the config screen, re-enter. Now you can stack any amount of e-shells on her. Same with all other items.

"Special ability" meaning a bug that can be exploited...

Erm... no. The Angelwing is the only ship you can do this with. Its part of the ship's abilities.
