TIE-TC 159: The Destruction of Rogue Squadron
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
Not a great battle, the 3 sims/1 real format isn't that compelling, it's just the same thing over and over with, I think, the pilot difficulties adjusted. The last mission was constructed in a way that was incredibly drawn out and tedious, as the whole %Rebel Craft thing usually is. Just not much effort, and not much fun. :(
This battle is disappointing, particularly as the dogfighting in the first mission is actually enjoyable and requires savvy use of the right warheads to complete. It is followed by 2 effectively identical missions that are a lot less enjoyable and offer little challenge - the only advantage I can suggest for this battle is that it can be completed fairly quickly, but otherwise offered initial promise that wasn't met beyond the first mission.
This should have been a single free standing mission. 3 Training missions that are a little harder than before then another mission that is the real thing is not the best way to run a battle. Battles are meant to be in the assumption that we already possess the skills necessary to complete the missions. However, under certain circumstances, additional training should be done. And in this case, they should have been done up as simulator missions (they are editable if one hunts for them properly...). From there, the mission/battle should be done. I found this "battle" as a waste of my time except for the FCHG points.
Honestly, I don't see the point in this thing. It's like, the same mission again and again and again, adding some extra fighters in each one. Give it a 1 for the last mission...
I liked it all, except that the last battle was a little drawn out. I also liked how it made us think that missio 4 was going to be just like mission 3 but was totally different. Took me totally by suprise. It should have a medal, though.
If you're going to have 75% of the battle training for a mission, at least make that mission ALMOST like the training exercises!
I liked the whole training for the mission which was a nice change, even if the battle was realtivly simple
hard, and a little pointless. The idea is great though.
A pretty good battle. Easy, but good. It was cool that you first exercise a few scenarios before you take on the enemy for real.
