Good narrative thread to follow the TIE Bomber, but it's not a very dynamic craft to base a battle on. Nothing technically wrong.

Flown for TCIB. Genuinely not a fan of the TIE Bomber, but the missions were pretty well balanced. Took a moment to get the hang of the TIE Dragon in mission 5, but once I did, look out Rebel ships!

I really enjoyed the story of this battle. It was helped in that you are flying a T/B (and T/Dr) that is not used very often. The gun of the T/Dr is awesome, but the lack of shields and speed make it not a fun ship to fly.

That last mission, with the rebel fleet silhouetted against that giant red-orange star, was simply gorgeous. It's a moment that will stay with me.

Well, if you don't like the T/B, then steer away from this one. If you do, you won't be disappointed. A variety of roles for the venerable bomber, from dogfighting to carpet bombing in the TIE Dragon, this battle was very much a lot of easy fun.

Although it is very difficult to wield, the TIE Dragon does indeed make up for suffering with the TIE Bomber. I enjoyed this battle immensely..basically the Swansong of the TIE Bomber.

A 5 from me, Because it's all about the Bomber! But yeah, the T/Dr does stink against fighters... Still, a jolly good battle.

I liked it, though the T/Dr is really hard to kill fighters with...

This is a decent battle with a good storyline/plotline- definately worth the time to fly.

Though not the most difficult battle I have played, I thouroghly enjoyed it. I was most...delighted with the mission debriefings. It made the battle more of an educational experience than anything else for me.

Patches: Battle requires the TIE Dragon patch but this is not stated on the compendium.
