This mission is fairly easy as long as you have a good way of dealing with aircraft. Machineguns, missiles and even rifles work well in this category although your AC needs to be mobile to keep up with them and you should do your best to avoid their missiles. All of the Ladybirds appear in formation and to better small missile launchers, this means you can take out multiple easily, granted you have the FCS to do it. The MTs that are you allies, the Daywalkers are pretty useless simply because their rockets are not very good for dealing with aircraft, especially with their accuracy.

The best vantage position for this mission is the top of the Spaceport. From here most of the Ladybirds appear below you and it's fairly easy to spot the Sanctuary bomber. When it appears, destroy it immediately simply because it can prove devastating to your defense targets if it survives. Once it is destroyed, it's simply mop up from there.

Armored Core 2 is a 2000 third-person shooter mecha video game developed by FromSoftware for the PlayStation 2. It is the fourth entry in the Armored Core series and an indirect sequel to Armored Core: Master of Arena. In North America, Armored Core 2 was a launch title for the PlayStation 2. A direct sequel, Armored Core 2: Another Age, was released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2.

The story takes place almost 70 years after Master of Arena. Following the colonization of Mars, a powerful organization called the Frighteners overthrows the government at the behest of their leader, the enigmatic Leos Klein. The player is a mercenary who is tasked with dismantling the Frighteners and defeating Klein.

Armored Core 2's gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessors. Players take control of powerful machines called Armored Cores and engage in dangerous missions or fight in the Arena against other pilots. Like earlier games, Armored Core 2 features a local multiplayer mode that includes a console linking feature and allows two players to fight each other with their own custom Armored Core.
