I shoot and shoot and shoot and so on all the time, i got a hawk and am on some mission to destroy them in the Rheinlands. I can't kill them it takes 10 min to shoot 1 of them down to half their life and there are 3 of them or something, what shall i do??

You gotta kill everything in the area first and then sit there and plug away at the ship. Destroy 2 and then something else will happen

I just positioned myself right under the first ship, then the second one (behind the fin like thing), and fired away, a tactic I've used in numerous other space-sims. No Reinland vessels could hit me, they didnt circle the experimental ship for a better angle. When missiles were fired I just directed them (by strafing) to hit the experimental ship instead of me.

In the end I got away with only some radiation damage. Like a walk in the park or something like that.

Learn to exploit games I'd say

If you are shooting them an not causing damage, you might be out of range (too far away). Does the red targetting cross show up? If not, you need to get closer, and as mentioned above, the closer you are, the less likely are to get hit by the fighers flying around.

BTW, I didn't shoot a single ship other than the Experimental one. Blew one up and the message to get out soon came up.
