Battle Reviews
A nice, solid XvT battle from CoHo, and a lovely tribute to the ISD Immortal's Ranger Squadron and their Gunboats. Not my favorite ship to fly by a mile, but the battle is well balanced with a sufficient amount of challenge.
Very straight forward missions. On the easy side but I prefer to feel like I am part of a battle instead of a 1 vs 100 scenario, so that's more of a plus for me.
An enjoyable range of missions with a decent storyline, well worth go!
The first few missions were 'meh', but the final mission all made up for it for me. The strike on the ships and station were very satisfying. Other missions were frustrating because you finish the enemy off and then have to sit around waiting for the rest of the ships to finish their missions. Not great but not bad either.
I flew this as part of Raise the Flag competition 2021. Overall, the battle seemed straightforward with no major hang-ups. There is not much to say about it. It was fun but the battle did not contain any elements that makes it stand out from nearly every other battle you have ever flown.
Not the best of battles in the Compendium, but certainly an enjoyable one. The missions have that classic touch and were soundly put together, producing an overall pleasant experience. The whole campaign happens inside a GUNs cockpit, and I can't say I am unhappy about it. I love the War Mule. Short, well made and fun to fly.
Not a bad little set of missions. For the most part, it's all dogfighting. Most missions can be completed rather quickly. A decent battle for newer XvT members to fly. No bugs found.
This battle doesnt try to do anything too fancy but what it does, it at least does it well. Having said that, it is a bit strange that TIE Bombers and TIE Fighters also pop in as your enemy without any real explanation. They were after all clearly Rebels and not a defecting Admiral or anything along those lines.
Pretty easy missions. Quick to play through. Basically shoot down all enemy craft. The last mission is just a tad bit more interesting. You have to take out a cruiser as well.
Quick and easy. Perhaps too easy regarding objectives (on Easy mode - regardless; on higher difficulties - if you manage your squadron correctly).
Not much of a story, but not many bugs either.
Only one thing annoyed me: in mission 4 you launch directly at the ISD, so you have to evade as soon as you're in-game... which is strange for starting position and vector placement. Thus... 4. Though slightly leaning towards 3+.
I played these on Easy. There's nothing really special about these fights. You're a Gunboat in all 4 and you just kill lots of fighters while protecting some ships picking up containers. Nothing ever really got close to causing any damage in the escort missions. The fights were fine and were better than other missions I've played, but that's about it.
Edit - I played these missions again on Easy for another competition. I stand by my original opinion of this battle.
An enjoyable battle, if a little short and simple. The Gunboat is my favourite Imperial craft to fly after the TIE Advanced, so having the opportunity to fly it four missions in a row was nice.
Fun battle - otherwise pretty easy. Would have enjoyed flying something other than a GUN though.
raced to shuttle hawk for the bonus transfer fired my ion cannons but the lasers were transfered.damn things!.,
Great job. It was fun to play and lots to blow up. How come the rebels were using T/Bs in mission 3? :P
Good battle,some minor mistakes in the ISD weapons(ISD dont had Concussion Missiles),and maybe the author had some confussion about the roles of some crafts.GUN are not designed as fighters;his role is offensive strike missions against enemy convoys and fleet crafts.That´s specially true in the second mission;in this mission a T/F or a T/I was more adapted.As example we cannot intercept a anti-ship strike of bombers with a anti-submarine S-3A Viking.F/A-18 or F-14 fighters is the natural choice.Each craft was designed for a particular role.
Not a masterpiece, just a good, enjoyable mission. I felt just like I did when playing TIE Fighter for the first time. Even though I HATE gunboats :)
Thats a good one! I like it!
First XvT battle i've flown, and pretty good one too.
A very good battle in my opinion
Great battle- weird name of craft CARG: Yub Yub. COR TRANS:Sidios with its cargo as Dark Jedi?
Kinda easy, and not enough options for craft. All in all well developed, and sweet story line.
Very fun battle. Well-rounded, and lots of action. It was suprisingly easy sometimes though.
I really like this battel although it was veary easy but the last mission had a lot of action.(Nice work :)
Excelent battle. Maybe a little too easy but of course, the ISD Immortal does have the best pilots in the fleet :-)
This battle was not hard but had a good storyline I don't know why these words are coming out of me a ten year old. LT Kaymin D'varak
