Battle Reviews

Not sure I enjoyed this one - as other reviewers have stated, lots of odd starfighter orders, and even on easy, this was a long mission to complete (well at least for me) - nearly 18 minutes. The ships at your command were very underpowered, and while I get why this is, didn't really enhance the mission. You do get some A Wings turn turn up to help you take down the second cap ship, which was handy, as my wingmen were not evening make of a dent in it!


Only gets 1 mark for having the groundwork of a believable concept. Many issues with Flight Orders, awkward demands on the player on anything above easy difficulty. I signed up to Emperor's Hammer to fly Imperial ships, not god-awful Rebel fighters. One to avoid until fixed.


Another poorly balanced buggy mission that pits the player and 3 wingmen with half a load of standard warheads against 2 Mon Cal cruisers with a full wing of fighters. Your stations don't fire back, your fighters are assigned to roles they should not be carrying out (Y-Wings with torpedoes dogfighting instead of attacking the cruisers, x-wings with missiles attacking the cruisers), and fighters that have different orders based on which part of the flight they are in.


Two Mon Cal Cruisers stand in your way of victory here. There are a bunch of fighters to deal with as well which made this an excellently designed mission. The only problem I saw was that I got mission success before the Mon Cals were destroyed because they were abandoning their mission. Yeah I'm sure they were going to abandon their mission because I disabled them.


I get why the ordinance is down to 50%. So I don't have an issue with that. This mission is a nice chance to fly in a rebel fighter of your choice (Z95, AW, XW or YW) and you get to blow up a lot of fighters and a few calamaris too.


Poorly planned mission. How is it realistic to send obsolete 4 Y-Ws with half ordnance of 4 proton torps to take on 2 CRS with a fully armed complement of 3 dozen fighters? This is not about giving a challenge, but creating something folly like facing a giant with a blunt toothbrush. IW themed missions are great, but this is pure incompetence in the planning. The mission itself flow flawlessly and without problems, it must be said. Fly elsewhere


A short but good mission by RA Neo (former IWTAC of the IW). Always nice to see the Nebulon-B Frigate Ka'Tal in action:P.

01. Platforms have no orders and just take damage.

02. Poor waypoints mean the first two minutes you are jumping between your flight to ensure they dont smash into the asteroids.

Y-Wing group intruder has torpedoes but has been given orders to attack starfighters over starships.

X-Wing group Gauntlet & Corsair have different orders for the last flight of their groups: flight 1 & 2 have orders to prioritize starfighters while flightgroup 3 has orders to prioritize platforms.

Flight 1 & 3 of A-Wing group Ace and blue has orders to attack starfighters while flight 2 has orders to attack the frigate Ka'tal.

Flight 3 of Y-wing group nova and flight 1 of Y-wing group screaming wookie have orders to prioritize starfighters, while flight 1 & 2 of nova and flight 2 & 3 of screaming wookie have orders to prioritize starships and platforms.
