Battle Reviews
This was my favorite of the trilogy. I think the battles with the Rebel fighters were well balanced and the last one wrapped up nicely.
From a plot perspective, I think it's an interesting continuation from Part 2 (unfortunately numbered as XvT-TC 73...), although I wish the final mission had something more conclusive or connected. Combat-wise, it's fine! Fun switching it up with some alphabet fighters for a bit
Quick and easy mission set. The wingmen do most of the work and you end up just having to shoot down a few starfighters here and there. One of the easier ones to get knocked out for RTF points in my opinion. Go do it now!
Interesting battle where you will fly mostly alphabet fighters like if it was some IW. The missions are simple and fast to complete, and overall the battle was good, but somehow lacking a bit of depth in the plotline, as far as the Cycloe Squadron saga, supposedly thickens. However, it was pleasant to fly.
I played on Easy. Extremely short, I think your side is way overpowered on Easy difficulty. My squad did most of the work for me. I think I finished one mission in 3 minutes? On the plus side, at least these missions change up what craft you're flying in each mission.
Yea I'm giving myself '5' points - The mission contain something different, which doesn't always seem work out right. I'll get round to writing a storyline and mission guide in next few weeks.
Battle Bug Reports
2023-05-04
Minor bug, but in M4 one of the objectives is to "Inspect one of the rebel probes" but you are required to inspect more than one of them to complete it.
2023-05-04
Very ticky-tack, but Mission #1's description asks that you fly TC XvT Battle #70 first... should be #73, which helps explain what's going on when this one starts up...
Mission 3: Enemy T/Is are considered friendly craft. Can't decide if that's a bug or intentional though...
2021-03-25
Addendum to my bug report, the issue was caused because the game needs the EH Ship Patch installed to work properly. This isn't listed in the mission requirements.
Also, as another report stated, you need to scan both probes in Mission 4 and they only show 66% completed, even though there's only 2 probes to scan.

Mission 3 crashes for me stating something about a B-Wing file and that it can't change the resolution.

Mission 4: Both rebel probes have to be inspected before the objective 'Inspect one of the rebel probes' is marked as completed. Also, there are only two probes but scanning both shows a percentage of 66% as though three were present.
