Battle Reviews

Great free mission - very enjoyable! Had a decent challenge level, without torturing you, concise goals and you had enough firepower to get the mission done. Only thing I noticed is that the ISD doesn't defend itself from starfighter attacks, which is a bit of an oversight in the mission design, and potentially annoying if your cap ship goes down!


Simple, but bug-free and without waiting time, so all good in my book.


Nice mission, however (i) the Grey Wolf not providing any fire support and (ii) no alert fighters being available once your wingmen die (which they will do to A-Wing missile spam) meant I was struggling on medium difficulty.


Quite a decent mission. Does a good job of keeping you busy and putting up a bit of a challenge at least. There is a tiny issue with the goal objectives, whereby they complete before the final Y-Wings are dealt with. I found that a bit strange.


Nice challenging little mission. Lots of fun and engaging dogfighting. While in the fray, be on the lookout for some sneaky rebel fighters that will fly directly into your TRN. Additionally some wishbones may appear to torp the Grey Wolf. Not to be missed, this one.


It's slightly too challenging even on easy - you have to INSTANTLY get near TRN Beta to protect it, which is a twist more suitable to hard... but once you know the trick it's okay.


It's not that this mission is so hard, its just that your wingmen are stupid. You need to be EXTREMELY aware of what's going on, making my annoyance rating for this mission 6.
