I'm having trouble with Brimstone 4 in Wc1. Maniac is worthless. He'll usually get shot apart by the two Jalthi at Nav 1. Do you have any suggestions for beating this mission, especially the Krant at Nav 2? The one trick I found is to afterburn under the Jalthi and loop behind them, but this doesn't work against the Krants.

If I remember correctly, the Brimstone series only has 3 missions and the strategy guide agrees with me, so I assume you are talking about Brimstone 3 where you have to take out a Dorkir defended by several Krant. As you said, looping behind the Jalthi is best, as you avoid their six forward guns. Save all your missiles for the Krant. The reason the Krant are so difficult is probably because Khajja is one of them. I suggest taking out the other ones first, as they are easier and definitely use missiles on them to take them out quickly. Getting in close to them gives the missiles a better chance of hitting the target. Don't hesitate to use lots of afterburner if you come under lots of fire. Then concentrate on downing Maniac... I mean Khajja. 
The Dorkir is easy once all the escort is gone.
