TIE-F 295: Starfighter Histories: TIE Defender
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
Enjoyable mission, with a nice range of dogfighting and one optional boarding goal.
A true nightmare of a mission. In the pleasure-for-pain way. Real challenging.
This time the only chance to survive the dozen simultaneous T/As and A-Ws with advanced missiles scrambling on you, is being on a Space Cadillac. And this does not mean at all that it will be easy, but the T/D will push you through in one piece... On top of being chased by Harkov's minions and abundant rebel scum, repeatedly firing their missiles like candy, the pilot has the task to protect an ESC from B-Ws and rocket-armed ATRs and a handful of friendlies in T/Ds. Some real fandango, and superbly carried out. This massive melee will probably melt your joystick or at least leave you with very sweaty palms. Do not miss this well-balanced, tactically sound, old school mission. For a real challenge.
A very fun idea to remake the original T/F mission from a different point of view. A well put together mission, briefing and all. Not too demanding, but it's never easy to shoot those dodgy T/As. A tractor beam would have made it trivial, but not having it adds to the feeling of flying a prototype. Well done!
This is a niceely created little free mission for TIE Fighter. Even though it is a bit intens and more on the challenging side on hard level, I still like it. Been fun flying. Be prepared for a lot of dogfighting. 4 points are well deserved for this mission.
Solid battle, challenging on hard. You get pounded by several FGs that are solely focused on you. :)
I like this level of difficulty (played it on hard). Despite flying in a TIE Defender, if you get careless you can die, so this is good.
Nice intense mission. Some friendly FGs behave illogically, though, returning home and re-engaging in the next wave repeatedly.
