Battle Reviews
I flew this as part of Raise the Flag competition 2021. Overall, the battle seemed straightforward with no major hang-ups. There is not much to say about it. It was fun but the battle did not contain any elements that makes it stand out from nearly every other battle you have ever flown.
most of my review for this one will be a hotfix for mission 4, unfortunately it requires you to use unlimited waves. for some reason you count towards the fighter kill count so as you may guess, i died about 40 times to get the percent up to 50. every death was worth 1 %
the rest of the missions were fine otherwise
I played on Easy. This was a quick set of missions. This has a lot less waiting around than previous battles in this series. There are some Mine Type 3 in the final mission, but they're pretty straightforward on Easy. All in all, this was decent.
This one looks unfished and filled with bugs. Missing orders from craft that are meant to be escaping, missing goal objectives and more. I believe it wasnt properly tested. Not sure how it has a high rating.
Not the finest set of missions to convert from TF. However, if you're fan of the original TF, then these missions will bring you joy to play again. The missions are bug free and play out well. Any issues I find with the missions is due to design choices from the original game.
Pure joy, this titanic work Ender mBind put together. Flying the classic missions of TIE Fighter in the XvT engine is nothing but instant bliss. Also the wavpack is exactly the same audio as the old game. There we have one of the best sagas in XvT compendium, so far.
Battle Bug Reports
2023-09-14
I have found a workaround for the aforementioned bug but it only works on medium and hard. It is also a massive pain. You must A) lose all your wingmen and Rho 1 & 3 (There is no Rho 2 for some reason), B) call for reinforcements, C) lose Rho 4-6, D) destroy all of the cargo ferries and modified corvettes, E) Destroy all of the enemy tie advanced, F) let shuttle toten enter the platform's hangar then G) Destroy Z-95 group bandit.

Not enough enemy craft spawn in mission #4 making it impossible to complete.

In the 4th mission, I can't seem to get anything like enough enemy T/As to reach 50%, rendering it impossible.
2014-02-16
Final mission something is missing, cannot set screen resolutions, uninstalled and re-installed XvT ship patch, same failure. Seems to be a B-wing from what comes on the screen, but not sure.
