I'm going to give this a three, as I played on easy, and it was well, very very easy! Almost completes itself - reading the other reviews, there are huge jumps in the difficulty of this mission, so reserving a final judgement until I get time to fly it again!

XvT is hard for me, as it seems most struggled with how to tell a good story without much briefing capability, and I play these games for the stories. Average.

The difficulty jump from medium to hard was very steep. On hard, missiles always took me out very quickly, but it was very easy on medium.

On Medium/Easy it's very, very easy... Hard is a big leap up, but probably closer to where the mission should be for balancing...

I don't want to go too hard on this battle because I played on easy and I'm confident it would be a lot more difficult if played on hard. The mission briefing is very clear, it's nicely laid out and really puts you in-universe, which is very nice, it's very professional which you don't get a lot from earlier free battles. As for mechanics, the flight briefing makes it seem like you're in for a tough fight, and again I'm sure you are outside of easy, but if you do play on easy expect to get what you're asking for. Not bad.

A bit on the too easy side. Fly it for completion points or to enjoy the T/D Maybe this can be an interesting challenge for a high score chase though.

Fast and furious, the mission involves some gritty dogfighting and also capship bombing, depending on which craft you happen to choose. T/A or T/D. Whatever the choice, the mission gives a bunch of few good minutes and it's worth a try, besides the easy point of FCHG

Solid mission to practice your dogfighting. Unfortunately, the mission is a tad too easy on Medium. Quick FCHG point.

Title: Cyclone Squadron Chronicles - Shrike's Strike Missions: 1 Type: XvT-FREE Medal: N/A Game Platform: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter Patches: EHSP-XvT Author: Marcin Szydlowski #3203 pbmike@go2.pl TO MAKE LONG STORY SHORT: With Kate's promotion to the Commodore, new Cyclone CMDR had been appointed, CPT Alexander Shrike. Now, Cyclones are going for a first mission with this new leader. INSTALATION INSTRUCTION: Simply double click on the file to load it and then play it. Or just run EHBL and load the mission. During beta testing, copy the .lst and .tie files to you /TRAIN directory and run XvT. AUTHOR'S NOTE: This battle is intended to be easy on easy level, but it can be hell on hard. So don't cry and become a better player. Remember. XvT increases AI of all ships by 2 on hard, so it will not be easy. I'm not even sure if it's possible to complete all missions on hard. Well, I'm just kidding but don't try hard if you are rookie. Also, in this mission you will face full wing of fighters, so it won't be a short one (assuming you fly on hard level). --------------- |LA DISCLAIMER| --------------- THIS LEVEL IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY.
