Good battle overall. Mission 3 was quite frustrating, but other than that they were mostly enjoyable. Flying a T/F for the IW missions is an interesting take! :D

Flying an unshielded TIE Fighter for 5 missions straight is not exactly what I expected from an IW battle... but I'm not mad! I think it was well designed and well-balanced, although flying an unshielded TIE means you have to accept that sometimes you're just going to explode. Definitely enjoyed, even if perhaps we're stretching the prompt a bit on the battle designation.

Flying an unshielded TIE Fighter can be frustrating, especially when you see friendlies having the time of their life in various rebel starfighters, but it makes for an interesting challenge ! This is a battle with solid mission design, a strong plot, good writing and a fair amount of difficulty. What's not to love ?

My eighteenth battle in the TIE Corps.

This one is not very much fun to fly. Missions are unbalanced as there are a number of heavy installations and capital ships to burn with so little firepower, so be prepared to shoot lasers in an endless dull nightmare. Besides, last mission puts you in a T/F against 4 waves to ATRs, this is not just difficult, it is senseless. Also briefings are almost like a still photograph with no work in the text whatsoever. It seems the creator either lacked time to exploit is initial good idea, or lacked the stamina to put his ideas to reality. Either way, a not-so-good battle, in my opinion.

Right after launching mission 1, the TIE cockpit shows up and the game freezes.
