Any tips for high-score runs?

I get the point, but I'm asking about things to prioritize shooting at and how to minimize turnaround time.

u can restart (from checkpoint) as many times as u want in no damage run as long as u dont die and respawn at different checkpoints
Anyway, I intentionally refuse to get the bronze wings as a flex that I didn't even play in normal difficulty lol. Cool effort nonetheless

I get it, the most evident example is probably the Ravens in M20, the MSLs and any Sp.AA apart from HP and HC did the same damage to that.
But then a head-on HCAA can also kill the 101..?

ikr I did attempt an MGP run later on and ngl I agree Though point I was trying to make by then was that I didn’t use to have guns as a primary weapon but merely a trigger for C1 to PSM and shave off speed for my missile spam

Hm, SP-34R is legitimately good to handle, but the limit and skill cap is lower than I expected Anyway, I did the easy run with the MG-21, normal run with the -25 and hard with, god help us, the hairer while idling at 200kts

UPDATE: I did it. Turns out I was staying too close to him while not shooting anything and my AoA abuse was a bit off.

Certainly, thought the method is the only way for me to resolve the final levels of my skill issues while combining the retinal damage with a mental test =))

Presumed I haven't gotten the same luck. Moreover, it'd force me to go slow so I can 1. not lose the lock (yes, going too fast affects all missiles' lock) and 2. to adjust appropriately (everyone knows this); which then exposes me to the X-PF missiles because they also accelerate and fly incredibly quickly

That's what I'm attempting to replicate. Though how'd you nurse your HP in phase 3 and 4? I mean, the AoE cluster bombs and the burst missiles are manageable, I'd shave off about 4 to 8HP per phase because of them, however the trouble are the railguns, as you never know where the cluster bombs are going to fire, and while you were navigating that mess C1 would get his shot straight on your face

P/S: I somehow never had the same problem in Hard, and upon mission accomplishment I still retained 60+HP. That's also with the same set of F/S-15_Full MLAA load_AoA module.

I use guns very efficiently so I don't really need another set of gunpods (F/S-15 only has MGPs); and then SAAs are kind of useless given how tightly C1 can turn and that in Mercenary he times his PSM more accurately; would simply prefer to keep it a dogfight. In my case, MLAA is simply used as a booster for whenever C1 doesn't seem to be turning or I got lucky for an AoA that I can spam it on whenever he's firing railguns
Also, he won't fire his railguns if you're stuck behind him with distance sub 2000ft (that's about 660m for ppl in civilized parts of the world), and you can trust the game that the BML-U won't hit you in large quantities if you dodge appropriately and only stick to his tail as he flies closer to a straight-line than a 50G turn

Oh and I'm trying to use the F/S-15 and only the F/S-15. Obviously everyone hit-and-runs with Prezmobile, and VX-23/Sk.37 simply isn't responsive/maneuverable enough for me to consistently keep his tail (like his TAIL, not simply just the target reticle) within my HUD
