Battle Reviews

Boring missions that are all essentially just turkey shoots of one variety or another. The Sentinel got old fast, as it has a very bad laser capacitor. Missions were also quite buggy. Mission 3 is also quite poorly balanced as you are facing 12 squadrons of fighters with just 1 of your own, and many of the enemy fighters have advanced missiles.


I hate that someone recommended this to me. Such a frustrating battle. Like if the second to last mission isn't enough to get your blood boiling by having to kill 75 fighters, SHFIT A SHIFT A SHIFT A till your buttons break, the final mission will have you throwing your computer out the window. Kill like 15 capital ships with your squadron. No problem right? Except all my wingmen blow their load immediately and then get picked off. This is by far the worst XvT experience I've had. Frustrating as all hell man. Not worth anyone's time.


So, you walk into the Emperor's Hammer Lasers and Warheads factory. -------------- Mission Maker: 'How can I help you pilot?' ---------------------------------------------------- Pilot: 'I'd like some lasers and warheads'. ---------------------------------------------------- MM: 'Yes' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilot: Hmm ok and I'd also like things to shoot at' ----------------------------------------------- MM: 'Yes' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilot: 'Also, also, please throw some of those Patrol Vehicles we all hate so much' ------ MM: 'Yes'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilot: 'Oh and some capital ships!' -------------------------------------------------------------- MM: 'Yes'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilot: Excellent, do you happen to have any fighters as well?' --------------------------------- MM: 'Yes' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilot: 'How much would that be?' -------------------------------------------------------------- MM: 'Yes' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MM: 'Before you go, I just have one favour to ask. Can you add a review with multiple lines?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pilot: 'Yes' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I... overdosed with chocolate. Be sure to have your doctor examine you after you are done with this one.


Plotline was promising and also the idea of flying the deeds of the now-defunct glorious elite squadron of the Avengers. But flying the V38 TIE Sentinel, over and over again, in the end was mistake, in my opinion. The same missions repeat themselves almost identically. The fact it's featuring a slick and special fighter lifts the score a bit, but overall a disappointment. Fly it for the TIE Sentinel. That's all you get.


No questions asked, absolutely the best battle ever released :P I may be biased, but hey, it was still pretty fun. I like blowing crap up - and this did it in spades. Some missions say me playing it loose and easy with the equipment. I may have cost the EH 9 figures or so. Oops.

Really probably a 3.5, but as I have a co-starring role and it has the best squadron in EH history in it... gotta give it a 5.


12 x Avenger vs some enemy in every mission. I got bored after 2nd


Battle Bug Reports

MAJ Vanguard88

Mission 1: Rogue squadron misspelled as rouge squadron.

Mission 2: Avenger group was given torpedoes but will not use them against SPC as they are not a capital ship. Would need to be given advanced missiles to use them against the SPC. Formation of SPC is too close together resulting in collisions.

Mission 3: Turquoise misspelled as turquise.

Mission 4: Enemy capital ships/platforms will only fire at the first ship that attacks them.

Mission 5: Centurian should be centurion. Corvettes have starfighter orders.

Mission 6: corvettes have starfighter orders and will sometimes randomly enter hyperspace for no reason. Nexu should be nexus.

Mission 2: The Rebel SPC waves do not have unique numbering, and they also collide with the VSD Aggressor. The AI Avenger pilots do not use their torpedoes. The objective to 'destroy' the 43rd Picket Fleet shows as complete when only 75% of SPCs are down. The message 'We've nearly destroyed the first wave..' appears when over 80% of craft have been destroyed, as opposed to the 25% that the first wave is.

Mission 5: Rebel MC80 cruisers are all given the same global group and global unit resulting in numbers appearing after their names. All six Rebel CRVs have starfighter orders.

Mission 6: None of the 'Hammer's Fist' ATRs actually contain any cargo (they are supposed to contain troops). All six Rebel CRVs have starfighter orders - they also have a tendency to engage their own side's starships.
