Fortunately the one I've had in my current game was more the former as I found them quick and then I was able to light them up either with rockets or assault attacks at close range that eliminated them before they could really become a menace (that bubble showing the range of rocket damage is a feature that I cannot do without...more than once I've slid that bubble to just the right spot to kill two or three enemies just at the edge of the bubble while avoiding my own fighters in the process).

Yeah, we breezed through the first one and i was shocked at how easy it was. Once I activated that pocket of 6 of them it was pretty much done, no way to get to them all before multiple zombies were unleashed and I had to take chances, which is the exact opposite of how I usually play a mission. Hopefully we recover, will see later today
