Played Wing Commander and Secret Missions on SNES as a kid, and Price of Freedom on the PS1. Always wondered what 2 and 3 were like. After 5 attempts of the third mission in wc2 (your fist mission out of the concordia - escort the bombers), I still can't come remotely close to beating it - I mean come on, escort two paper mache bombers against 8 kilrathi fighters with a rinky-dink security ship.

Is the rest of the game this challenging, or is it like wc1 with a few really tough missions but mostly pretty easy? Must say it was worth the almost 2-decade wait to get my hands on such a quality title!

That mission is one of the tougher ones, yes. Try to taunt some of the Sarthas to draw them to you. away from the Broadswords. Remember, the bombers don't have to survive the entire mission, only long enough so that they can destroy the cap ship.
