Battle Reviews

The gold standard of "hilarity ensues", rendered as only Jagged Fell can!


Really good set of missions. To be honest the maze drove me nuts but that's me, I don't like mazes. Some of the environments were incredibly striking. I think the 3rd mission in particular, the planetary backdrop was gorgeous.


I enjoyed the missions for being kinda like a "filler episode" of the TC missions. They were definitely fun, and definitely challenging. Especially with the last two missions, flying freighters in dogfights. I ended having to tone down the difficulty hahaha! However, it forced me to work out different tactics instead of traditional ones when I'm in a starfighter.


Amazing Battle. Exceptionally well built with old ideas born a-new.
Looks stunning and is an interesting composition of different mission types.
Read the hints if you're getting stuck. Great fun.


Played on easy with cheats. While I loved almost everything about this battle, I got frustrated with it a lot because I didn't know exactly what I should be doing, and had to re-start a couple missions more than once due to that. I am absolutely the wrong person for a maze as well so that also frustrated me quite a bit. I enjoyed the custom audio, the story lines, and the craft names.


What a great set of missions. It's a great change of pace that uses some neat ships that are rarely used and fun mechanics. I had a lot of fun flying these.


Love Jagged's battles! The context of the missions, the storylines, everything reminds me of the personalization that custom battles have to offer. I did have one issue in mission 2 when you needed to dogfight and avoid getting disabled first, but after practicing and getting gud, i was able to complete the missions.

Keep these coming!! Play every battle Jagged has to offer.


Really fun set of missions - good variety of objectives and craft, well-designed, funny and engaging plotlines - play it!


Really fun battle to fly, with an exceptional use of the mission editor for very ingenious purposes, really good and well balanced missions, bit sized stories of good quality and Space Emus and Drop Bears. Also, check the messages on the room!

It has everything a battle needs to have, with very very little left to desire and an air to classic XWA missions. I wish the voice was a bit better, but for AI generated voice, it does its work really nicely. Really, don't miss this one!


A very solid and creative suite of missions. Mission 3 is my favourite. My only issue is with mission 4 and the ship that is used. The VCX-100 has an entirely green cockpit HUD, meaning it is difficult to see when you are being shot at. It only has a single turret, meaning you must constantly re-position it if a fighter dips below your LoS. I also had issue with the turret snapping away from the target that I was shooting at, as well as it no longer functioning at all after a certain point multiple times.


PAR!

This battle and its follow on are very special to me. I also think that they are a fun set of missions celebrating a great squadron.


Battle Bug Reports

Mission 4, while flying the Blue Orchid, if you try to redirect your shields, they drop to 17%.


MAJ Vanguard88

2024-07-16

Mission 4: SPC and Corvette have starfighter orders, which causes issues if you close to close range with them while you are also under attack by starfighters. They will shoot you through the starfighters but hit the starfighters instead, causing them to start attacking the SPC and Corvette, depending whichever is attacked first. Issues with turret snapping away from the target it was locked on, and it would randomly stop working at some points in the mission.

Mission 5: Gunships and corvettes have starfighter orders, and will occasionally crash into each other when attacking the player craft. Same issue with them shooting their own starfighters and vice versa also exists as a result.

Introduction
-------------
Typhoon pilots are some of the best in the TIE Corps and while they work hard nearly every day for the Corps, they
too sometimes need a day off. Here we chronicle the adventures of many of the Typhoon pilots on their various days
off, even if that day was not supposed to be a day which they took off...

Note: This battle was conceived before VA Locke Setzer ascended to the BGCOM position he now holds and before
      GN Master and GN La'an left to command Firebird and Scorpion Squadron respectively.
