Battle Reviews

A fun mission with an interesting twist!

Thanks to these missions, I’m growing incredibly fond of the TIE Defender.


I loved this mission. A great storyline with excellent voice acting. I've fallen in love with T/D.


This has been my very first mission played for the Emperor's Hammer. The experience is top notch, very recommended!


Solid free mission - plot, voice acting, and the option to stick it to the Rebels if you want. Another Jagged Fell gold nugget. Flown for IS8.


Great example of a free mission! Good storyline, voice lines, the option to go deeper if you want to (or let the Rebels win.) Extra credit for good station design!


Great mission! I might have set a personal best for kills. Tons of action and the TIE Defender is awesome, as always.


Great mission. Lots of fun and very pretty.
Well balanced with lots of fun dogfighting blasting Rebel scum! Well worth a fly.


Only loses a point because I agree with Lando, the T/D is too overpowered and enemy fighters lack variety (80 X-Wings, nothing else, no Missiles & no Countermeasures). Custom backgrounds look incredible and the wav pack is a nice touch as well. Definitely recommend flying it


Very fun mission, great story line, amazing combat. 10/10!


Love the extra effort of the voice files in the briefing, mission, and debriefing. Love the choice to knock of early or get in some extra work; never thought of using the nav buoys as a way of implementing player choice! The mission was a bit too easy (the T/D is just so strong).


Very enjoyable, challenging but nothing too crazy for a pilot like me. I always enjoy the custom wav packs since it really helps the mission chat for me.


Very fun mission - it was neat being in a two-man tag team where I could focus on dogfighting. Everything looked great.


PAR!

Ok, I am very biased on this one, but I think it is a great mission. Have fun.

Installation Instructions

   the following original files so that you will be able to restore them after uninstall.

\TFTC\fronttext.txt
\TFTC\Resdata\Squad5.webm
\TFTC\Missions\Mission.lst
\TFTC\Missions\email.txt


2] Copy the contents of both zip folders into the main TFTC directory, allow it to overwrite any files.

Introduction
-------------
When I joined the EH I never intended to take command of an active squadron but when my
commander of more than a year asked if I would be willing to step up to help lead and
facilitate the fun of the members of the squadron I had to say yes. And me being me I
immediately decided to make the transition into a mission/battle.
