This is rough. The first three missions (while having some very concerning elements) are passable enough that the battle sits around a 2-3... but mission 4 and 5 are well and truly awful enough to drop this down considerably. There's no consideration to difficulty level, which is a cardinal sin in my book, and there's not enough going on otherwise to make any of it feel worthwhile.

This is not a good battle - paper thin plot, poor spelling, unwarranted extreme difficulty. A drag.
My seventieth battle in the TIE Corps.

I gave this two stars because of the lack of game-breaking bugs, but that's really the only benefit of this battle. Missions 1 through 3 are ridiculously easy, wile 4 and 5 are ridiculously hard. Mission 6 wants you to capture people, but the mission's objectives are complete when you blow up the platform they are on. For 6 FCHG points, there are easier and quicker ways to get there.

The story has good idea behind it but it could have been a bit more developed. First 3 missions are a breeze, the last three i had to replay 5-10 times to get it done. Ordering your wingmen around helps and is pretty much crucial.
I managed to finish the last mission even when the Renegade was destroyed, which should have marked the mission as failed.

That battle is definitive a bad one. The plot is absolutly not existing, five missions are just placed together. The difficulty is too high, you have nearly no chance to beat mission 4 and 5 without unlimited waves. If you dont need to fly that battle, hands away or you will regret it!

Not one of the best battles I have ever seen, but clearly not one of the worst either. This battle lacks the appropriate difficulty settings, and clearly Mission #5 should have something other than a Y-Wing in order to complete it. Based on the fact that every mission appears to be set to the Hard difficulty setting the fact that several of these missions do not allow for extra waves of player craft greatly diminishes the possibility of successfully completing the missions on the first try. Typically I despise IW battles, but as my FCHG continues to climb I'm finding it necessary to use them. Word of caution to anyone flying this battle; don't fly it unless you are prepared to refly each mission multiple times in order to successfully complete them. Even the best pilots have trouble with this one. :P

I didn't think this battle was that bad. Mission 5 is really challenging, and at times became really ridiculous. Other than that, i don't see any problems with this one.

This was... uh... how to put this nicely... crap? This is a good example why most of the IW battles are missing from the mission compendium. Don't even bother flying this - it's horrid, boring, and really very BAD. If you don't like flying Y-Wings and X-Wings this certainly isnt the battle for you.

I did not like this battle at all. It was the worst battle I have ever flown. My wingmen die in the first minute and usually there are 8 rebel fighters with missiles on me. For most of the missions I was running away so that not all of the fighters would come after me.

There seems to be a lot of incorrect craft orders in this battle, orders which removes complete FG both friend and Foe unnecessarily from the combat, also the lack of any waypoints been set,in some missions, makes this battle a frustrating challenge to fly.

I do not profess to be some super space jockey. I am an average pilot with an average rank in an average position in the EH, and so to many this would not matter. Mission #4 and #5 are way too hard for the average player, and there are no difficulty settings to correct this. Mission #1 and #2 are way too easy for the average player, easily completable without even participating. All i all, the battle is not consistent. I ended up using unlimted craft on the last 3 missions in all, but the last one was pretty much so it would be over. Also, on Mission #4, the endgame was timed at 15 minutes...zzzzz!

This battle is about average, but it does have a good plotline, and good mission design. Overall, I enjoyed flying it.
Battle Bug Reports
2024-07-14
Mission 1: Primary mission goal of any of global group 1 must complete mission is incorrect: if the player hypers out it does not count towards the goal, it is only AI craft that count towards it. Bonus goal for destroying X-Wing Gold, X-Wing Blue, CRS Sahaari, A-Wing Rouge and T-Wing red set to 0 points. A-Wing Rogue incorrectly spelled as A-wing Rouge.
Mission 2: Bonus for destroying frigate Zurak, Frigate Execter, X-Wing Red and X-wing blue is set to 0 points.
Mission 3: Bonus for destroying CRS Zaalaa, Y-Wing Gold, A-Wing Red, X-Wing Red, Y-Wing Blue, Strike Cruiser Cealas, Frigate Marreo, Z-95 Fodder and X-Wing Deffie set to 0 points. Frigate Marreo has been set to SS Patrol waypoints, rebels, meaning it will destroy Z-95 group fodder and X-Wing group deffie when they launch.
Mission 4: Bonus for destroying each FG of convoy craft is set to 0. Bonus for disabling FRG Pollux is set to 0. ETR Assault is flagged as enemy craft, meaning NR craft will not fire upon it when it goes to dock with FRG Pollux.
Mission 5: Bonus for destroying enemy capital ships and starfighters all set to 0. Rogue squadron misspelled as rouge squadron. Mission briefing mentions B-Wings but there are none present in the mission.
Mission 6: Mission 5: Bonus for destroying enemy capital ships, the station and starfighters all set to 0. Rogue squadron misspelled as rouge squadron.
