I've won level 10 a few times using techniques similar to this.  One thing I'd
like to add, though:  it IS possible to hit those near guns between the super
bunkers with your direct fire missiles!  The secret is to get far enough back
so that they will drop very fast as they clear the bunker, and thus take out
those pesky guns.  Needless to say this is somewhat difficult [especially
without radar], but it can be done.  Right over that bunker before the landing
pad is a good place to fire from; you should be at about 3/4 screen height
(you'll have to fiddle with it to find the exact height.)

Another method is to just take out the right (AA) and center (AT) guns by
skimming the superbunker, and then fly over and nuke the left guns.  This is
somewhat easier, but a little more dangerous -- the next gun after the pair of
s.b.'s will kill you if you aren't careful.


By the way, superbunkers are great to hide in once you own them.  Just watch
out for paratroops dropped on you.
