Battle Reviews

Played on easy with cheats. Weird story. Annoying that most of the enemy fighters are not marked as enemy so that R does not work. But loses a full point for 100% kill on fighter groups that run from combat.


how in the world did the creator get this battle approved with one of the squadrons being called "Retard" squadron. That and some glaring IFF issues should get this battle some more love to make better.


I don't understand the obsession with Taco Bell.
Battle is ok, mission three and five are hard.
Has a few issues that need addressing.


So I've played this battle after reading the reviews, and I thought it couldn't be that bad. It's basically an advertisement for Taco Bell, and since I ate only one time at that fast-food, I don't really get the hype around it. Anyway, the battle itself is not so badly made, and it's kinda fun actually. Until mission 5. It's stupid, and you can see the maker did not test it before submitting it. It's just broken, and ruins the battle itself. I understand that we want to offer many battles to our members, but that's one battle that should be removed, or at least reworked. It's just bad and I've wasted already too much time playing and reviewing it.


I HATE humorous battles.

Bad:
In mission one VSD isntead SSSD
Missions 1 and 2 are tooe asy on hard
missions 3 and 5 are too hard on hard and mission 5 is impossible to finish on hard
Enemy dont have enemy IFF
Craft often dont have mothership to return
Plot is bad.

2 points


Harmfull when played,


One of this battles that shouldn't have been released by the TAC office the way it is... Missions 3 and 5 are near impossible, mission 5 you wonder what the hell to do. Your VSD Sovereign (believe it or not)always gets destroyed. The frigate has some kind of crash on it, and rams it. If you destroy the frigate, you fail the mission because it goes into hyperspace once it shields are down. Then when you go for some help in "Any special instructions?", the creator gives you a wise ass comment "What are you? Some rebel lover?!" Wow now that was funny, that's really gonna help me complete your crap, insane mission.


I'll give it a three, because mission 5 is really hard on Hard level. Otherwise the plot was really dumb, but mission 5 is worth trying. I had tried it at least 50 times before I succeeded because of the collision course of FRG Shamu and the VSD.


Didn't enjoy this one too much, it was *very* hard to complete, mostly because you had to hunt for the enemy by using the next/previous ship keys. Also any enemy ship you killed showed up on the 'Lost ships' list!


In the later missions making the 'Taco' forces enemies so they show up with 'Select Nearest Enemy' would be nice. Battle was a lame attempt to be humorous...


Not to bad - some refinement with Orders and other conditions (Waypoints) would greatly improve this battle.


the first mission was ok, but the bottom dropped out after that. the last mission was absolutely insane.


I can forgive a lot of flaws for a sense of humour. Not every battle has to be "the end of the EH if you fail"... Try Spam Wars (103?) for a better executed humourous battle.


Terribly designed battle with no briefings. This is the worst one I've flown. All this over and above the low brow plotline.

Enemy sometimes doesn't have Enemy IFF (Mission 4, Mission 5)
Check orders and waypoints for FRG Shamu and M/CRV Rebel Scum. FRG will crash into VSD. CRVs crash into each other or VSD.
FRG will not appear on easy making mission unwinnable as mission critical YW do not then appear.
Mission 5 very difficult.

The Taco Wars

This is the first battle I've created. It consists of 5 missions. It is about a Taco Company 
who betrays the Empire and starts giving tacos, burritos, etc. to the Rebels. Because Mexican 
food is one of our fleets favorites, it was decided that it was necessary to punish the 
company and the Rebels involved. 

Mission 1:
        Protect a convoy of Mexican food that is being sent for a party. There are three 
container transports and a small escort of R-41's. The X- and Y-wings are after the convoy. 
You will fly a TIE Defender, Omega I, in a flight of 3.

Mission 2: 
        The Taco Company has betrayed us and sided with the Rebels. You are to destroy a 
convoy of two escort transports, as they dock with two platforms. Protect Omega-III as they 
destroy the platforms. Some of the NR's best pilots are on those platforms, so kill ALL ships. 
Also, help Omega-II protect Carrack Cruiser Tiger, from some B- and Y-wings. You will a fly 
a TIE Defender, Omega I-I, in a flight of 3

Mission 3: 
         Destroy a Taco Company supply depot. There are about 16 containers, protected by some 
A- and Y-wings. Destroy all CARGs, HLFs, and container transports, before they can dock with 
any of the containers. You will fly a TIE Advanced designated Omega I. Once again in a flight 
of 3. 

Mission 4:
         Capture the Taco Company's Base. Expect everything they have. Protect the T/Ds that 
attack the platform. Watch for some T/A's at the end of the level. They must be destroyed. 
Also, watch for any shuttles trying to escape. You will fly a TIE Defender designated Omega I, 
in a flight of 3. 

Mission 5: 
        The remnants of the Taco Company fleet have joined with the Rebels, to orchestrate one 
final attack on the Sovereign. Watch out for at least a squadron of B- or Y-wings, some outdated 
craft (i.e. R-41s) and some X- and A-wings after you. You will once again fly a TIE Defender, 
Omega I, in a flight of 3. You will have to destroy some corvettes as well. Tie Bombers will 
be launched to destroy the Rebel Frigate. GOOD LUCK!!!
