XWA-F 42: Long Range Patrol
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
I liked the story a lot, but the 4 minute wait for all the wingmen to "refuel" and the slightly lackluster game play knock it back down.
It's always entertaining to fight against pirates, since they use a random assortment of craft...easily destroyable ones, that is. Against the enemy capital ships, except the corvettes, there's not much you can really do except wait for your allied ship to show up and wipe the floor with them.
Great mission. From top to bottom. The refueling procedure was an amazing touch, and so was the mission itself. Multiple tasks everywhere, and so is what the War Mule, aka the GUN, does best. Especially if armed with rockets. Dogfight, dodge fire and nuke everything with concise patterns. Also, the hijacking of the gold and gems CTRN was a great bonus. Loved it. Do not miss this one.
A very promising premise. Nice briefing as well. But the mission execution is sub-par. The part I liked, was the refueling process at the beginning. Just mind those friendly Gunboats. Let them refuel first! DOn't worry there is enough fuel for everyone! As to the mission itself, there aren't enough fighters and not much of a fight in general. Furthermore, the Lone Star is just sitting there waiting to be inspected and disabled. The mission feels incomplete. It's a shame, a lot more could have been done here.
Interesting concept with in the asteroid field, fun battle.
Good!
