I give this a low score for a couple reasons. In M3, you literally wait over 12 minutes plus ( didn't time it) for a bunch of ships going to resupply another ESC. I walked out of the room and played with my dog, got dinner started, etc. Just parked my fighter and waited. M2 was a similar wait. M4 was just 8 SPEC MIS blowing up a massive amount of platforms, shipyards, and ships... which was done in less that 7 minutes. I could have done 2 more whole battles in the time it took me to do this 4 mission battle.

M3 is ridiculous. If you finish the B-Wings in the first 10 minutes then you get a 10 minute show of watching ships just get transferred.

This battle has not anything extraordinary, but it was quite fun to fly. A solid plotline, well developed briefings and maps, and the missions are balanced yet challenging. It has a wide choice of roles to cover throughout the campaign. Escorting, bombing, pure dogfighting. The only flaw I saw, but added to realism, were the long waiting at times, and the usual curse in BoP of not having reloaders. What is wrong with BoP mission creators ? Sinking a REPYD on lasers is boooooring and frankly, unnecessary. It could have been a golden classic with a little tweaking and a reload craft out there.

Limited use of craft, too many times you’re left hoping the friendly AI does the right thing at the appropriate time. FG Orders at times don’t follow the plot. Missions are Medimum - hard and at times they will have the play wishing he/she could be in two places at once.

Mission 2: Tie Defender Diamondback flight 2 aborts mission as soon as the battle begins and returns to the ISD Intrepids' hangar.
Mission 3: Escort Shuttle Ray crashes into the escort carrier endurance upon leaving the M/FRG hangar, causing mission failure.

M3: a 20 minute wait time is (imho) retarded and not (creator's opinion) realistic. Everything after the CUV needs to go or be made optional.

Title: Diamondback Squadron Special Operations Missions: 4 Medal: Diamondback Squadron Commendation of Bravery Game Platform: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter: Ballance of Power Patches: Tie Defender and Missile Boat patches for BoP. Author: Marcin Szydlowski #3203 pbmike@go2.pl Installation Instructions: 1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle. 2] Check the Misc folder in your BoP one for additional material like patches, sounds etc. 3] Press the Balance of Power button to start BoP and fly the battle. Also you have to install two patches: Tie Defender and Missile Boat patch for BoP. You can download it from Science Office site here: http://sco.minos.net You unzip it and install. Note: This battle is intended to be easy on easy level, but it can be hell on hard. So don't cry and become better player. Remember. BoP increases AI of all ships by 2 on hard, so it will not be easy. I'm not even sure if it's possible to complete all missions on hard, we it is but you must be really good. THIS LEVEL IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. ELEMENTS TM & © LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. Comments: -Diamondback Squadron is considered unofficial elite of ASF, so don't be suprised if they will kick some serious butt -some missions can be impossible when you use unlimited waves, it's not a bug ;P -mission 2 provides you some realistic combat, so don't be suprised if this will be hard. -in mission 4 you attack shipyards. those platforms can really kick ass so watch yourself ---------------------------------------------------------- Special Thanks to: Frodo, Wil Striker and Khadgar for making tests for me.
