Battle Reviews

Too many issues due to too many craft existing simultaneously, as well as your allies not working properly meaning it is you and your flight group against the entire convoy


Briefing: Clear and Concise.
Objectives: Believable and feasible (Inflict 50% damage on enemy convoy).
Multiplayer: Yes (3 Player).
Replayability: Yes (multiple flight choices, with associated fighter, wave/flight configurations and weapon loads options).
Bugs: Nil observed.
Summary: Engaging, destroy the enemy convoy mission with a lot going on, including some excellent unshielded TIE antics.


Lots of stuff to destroy and fight against in this one and that's why I really like it. You don't really need to fight the frigates in this one, but why not right? Go destroy your heart out on this one.


Ender's missions are always either a hit or a miss. Never average. This one is a hit. I encourage people to fly it. There is some nice attention to detail as well.


Another interesting mission from Ender. Destroying a rebel convoy worth of a few DREADs, CRVs, CNVYRs and a full complement of X-Ws and A-Ws was certainly fun and a good time. The mission is solidly planned as well as the dogfighting and the ordnance on your fighter is more than adequate. Overall an entertaining mission that deserves a try.

Too many craft are on the field at the same time. T/A Viper group 3- has order to go home instead of fighting.

Unless you pick the T/I in viper squadron they never actually show up. T/A group viper 3/3 retreats at the beginning of the mission and doesn't do anything.

Installation 
------------
The Imperial.lst and Mission.lst replace your original files, so back those up!

1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
2] Check the Misc folder in your XvT one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
3] Press the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter button to start XvT and fly the battle.
- Create a new pilot for the mission based on your name or PIN and the mission number. 
For example, SL Stele playing Free Mission 80 would make a new pilot file named "StelFM80." 
or a Pilot with PIN 2883 playing Free Mission 69 would make a new pilot file named "2883fm69" 
- Begin flying the first training mission.

Description
-----------
This mission is part of a series of free missions about each of the squadrons in the ASF doing 
missions following their squadron objective in their assigned craft. Each mission tries to give
a feel and a bit of history of each of the Squadrons. All the storylines of the missions are
interconnected and have the ASF Squadron join together against a common foe.

Story Line
----------
 The taskforce of an NR-SSF Calamari Cruiser Krayt destroyed is making its way back out of the 
regions where the EH influence is the strongest. We have found out where the convoy will be making 
a hyperspace course correction. The EH wants this taskforce decomissioned and you are to destroy at 
least half of the convoy to be sucsessful.

NOTE 
-------------------
You need the XvT (or at least all the ships involved there), as far as i know
no other patches are needed.

Other Information
