Commendable.

How are the walkthroughs coming along?

I'm a bit stuck on Mission 5 right now. Think I've figured out the optimal payload for it, but don't have the time to try it out.

Don't worry, will do.

Everytime I try to play this, the game crashes when the combat begins. Why?

Are you sure the sound configuration is correct? I once missed the IRQ values -> samples cut off in the middle, and the game crashed during battles.

I just shut off the sound completely; the original BGM isn't worth the trouble, especially after watching the anime.

I must be losing pilots an awful lot. The manual says they gain experience, but I haven't noticed an appreciable change in stat values and performance seems to vary depending on specific weapon. Your thoughts, Fifth?

Okay, I tried to set the sounds on and off, but it always crashes.

Any other ideas?

TC: Try changing the soundcard emulation to Sound Blaster Pro 2, and the sound setup accordingly. That's what works for me, at least.

They indeed do gain experience.
You can see the current XP on the in-battle stats screen (called up from the actions menu).
Unfortunately, the XP increases are very small - you'll need several missions to increase any stat, in fact, maybe with the exception of AP which seem far easier to increase.

Walkthrough: Going OK, I'm past mission 5 now. 6 should be a quickie, or at least that's how it seems right now.

Cheap trick:

If you have missile support and no dignity, save the game before assigning any artillery strikes. See where the enemy will show up, quit the game, load the saved game, plot your strikes accordingly.

This is, of course, of limited value to those who don't want to waste their time on a dated game like this.

hahaha, the lack of dignity is the key. Anyway there is a mission where you have to bombard all turns in order to succes, you can know when you got a hit coz the secondary explosion but when using the weaker missile you feel lost.
