How to defeat three ufos?

[Leffa]

Excuse me, I still frequent here but little participate. I have a big problem. I'm always defeated when attacked by three ufos, a great fighter and two average fighters. I've been reading and searching the forum but did not find, could anyone help me? And if this is my post in the wrong place, sorry.

Does anyone know if the project of translation the game for the Portuguese?

This isn't the wrong place, not at all. Unfortunately, there will never be an offical translation into Portuguese.There are fan translations but these are generally incomplete.

On to your first question. Do you autoresolve the air combat, or do you manually resolve the air combat? And could you describe in a little more detail what a "great fighter" and an "average fighter" is, please?

Well, I'm suffering the attacks of 1 medium sized UFO escorted by two small UFOs. My chances of settle in. "AutoResolve" is 0%, And I do not possess the ability to manually battle.. I'm looking to learn, because unfortunately I have just defeated and lose the game.

Send a squadron of 3 aircraft, either A) 2 Foxtrots and 1 Condor, or B) 1 Foxtrot and 2 Condors. Have the Condor(s) take out the smaller UFOs, if you're using load out B you'll have to deactivate the Condors' missiles by clicking on their icons, with A have the Condor take out 1 small UFO with the guns and the other with missiles. The Foxtrots will take on the larger UFO. With load out A you'll just have them fire their torpedoes and that's that, however with B you'll need to have the Condors engage using their missiles.

Wing Commander Dranak is probably the best source of AC strategy that I know. Here's a

I also found useful Tasku's aerial combat (early and late game fighters)

If the escorts are giving you trouble, send three planes.

The UFOs pick a target and they chase it stupidly until it dies or they do. These aliens have very high technology but tactically they are idiots. This probably has something to do with using Harridans as combat pilots.

So what you do is you split your incoming fighters up, and see who goes after who. Split the aliens up, use one fighter to come up behind the aliens chasing the other fighters, and kill them, and then use the others to kill that one's tail.

Also, bear in mind that these aliens are kinda stupid. If you kill the center ship and fly away, or even kill the center ship and they get your fighters shot down, the escorts don't go on an air superiority mission, they vanish instantly.
