Bell fires off all of the MML-7's missiles and takes a shot at the Cruiser's front laser cannon with the LCB. She then pulls away towards the rest of the squadron, lowering her altitude back down.
The LCB impacts the side armor instead of the turret, as does one of the missiles. The other is shot down by the PD gun before it itself is obliterated by the three missiles sent to take it out, showering the radar dome atop the cruiser with bits of shrapnel. As for the rear gun, one of the missiles strikes it side-on, and the other blows the turret off the AAA parked next to it. The HUD pops up with a message that the MML's reserve salvo is being loaded.
Cruiser-2 slowly moves to assist its comrade and you pick up an IR lock.
Gus pops three packets of flares. Manoeuvring will put him through an office building, so he avoids that. In fact, when he thinks about it, most everything will hit an office building. The joys of urban air combat.

Richard sics all three beam weapons on the VTOL engaging Tempest before turning away.
"Tempest, Sabre, I'm breaking off to engage the other VTOLs!" He punches the burners and flies fast.
The VTOL is blown to pieces and you push your engines to their straining point to get over to your drones. They have currently climbed up into the danger zone and are being attacked by the VTOLs.

Test passedDrone-1 dives sharply at the last possible moment to evade the incoming missiles, and begins climbing back up to re-acquire its lost altitude. Drone-2 continues onward, heading straight for the laser cannon. You are now in range to help them out.
"On it, someone cover the drones for me."
Walt sets up for a KSM shot on the forward Laser cannon, looking to quickly evade out of the way after firing.
You begin climbing and see the struggle the drones are having above you.
stay low and fire at an enemy tank
You cannot find any tanks to fire at. In all likelihood, they are on the other side of the CBD being covered for by the Cruisers, so you will probably have to take care of those first. Unless you want to simply fly under the cruisers at dangerously low heights (only about 150 meters between crashing into the underside of the cruiser or eating pavement) looking for trouble, but that would take you between buildings.

what kind of fascist makes people come to work when there is an invading army
Civilian evacuation is underway, but incomplete. So far, only first class citizens are fully in the clear, barring those who chose to stay behind to help the second class get out. That being said there are still some corporations who would prefer their cubicle drones remain in their cubicles as it is the
most profitable safest place for them to be during this emergency.
