Battle Reviews

It's not a good mission. Incredibly easy to beat even on hard, and very buggy.


I personally enjoyed this mission. Although I am still new to XvT, I was able to play it on hard mode and found that I received too much assistance from my wingmen. I did not encounter any bugs. The mission included dogfighting, which I appreciate, and I had the opportunity to destroy some platforms.


Quick, no nonsense platform assault let down by minor issues which really should have been picked up during testing.

For example, telling the player in the briefing to focus on enemy fighters and leave the platforms to the Assault Gunboats, when his AI wingmates have attack the platform as their primary order, and it default loads you with Heavy Rockets also is quit oxymoronic


Enjoyable and very easy mission - simple goals to complete, topped off with some dog-fighting.


Very simplistic - the battle just completes itself with all the wingmen you have. A few more defensive options such as fighters that defend the platforms would be a good addition!


So, if you love rockets, and you hate platforms, this is the mission for you. It's also very fast. Don't expect much resistance. However, like every mission in XvT, you should switch to your wingmates to use their ordinance ASAP. Just make sure they're not about to bonk in to the station before you switch over to it. Trust me.


I played on Easy. This mission is an absolute cakewalk on Easy. The Platforms you need to kill barely put up any resistance and are wiped out before you even do much. It's good for points, but not much else.


Step 1: Download the mission, Step 2 fly mission and shoot rockets at platform, step 3: Collect your easy RTF points. One of the easiest ones out there. Nothing else to say about it.


These missions are lazily thrown together by their creators. I cannot give it a higher score, especially since 'you have destroyed a friendly craft'. Waste of time. Just fly it for the completionist purpose.


Fast and easy. Go, nuke'em and head back. My kind of mission, though it would have improved its score in a GUN, it was some quick 5 minutes of fast bombing. Worth a try for 1 easy FCHG point


An extremely easy and simple mission.

1. The two ISDs are deployed two close to each other, with the Immortals bow clipping into the Ravagers stern.
2. Blue Sqdn (X-Wings) die on launch, ramming into the science platform.
3. Platform 8886 whilst highlighted as Rebel, is classed as a friendly craft meaning the player is penalised points if they attack it, and they cannot order their wingmen to conduct an attack against it.
4. Red Sqdn (X-Wings) seem to purely want to attack the Gunboats, leading to this becoming a turkey shoot for the player, as they are the only enemy snubfighters in the AO.

X-Wing group Blue crashes into platform sciance-8885 at the beginning of the mission, wiping out the first flight group. The second wave hypers into the platform and more of them die. Science spelled incorrectly.

PLT/2:Sciance-8886 is a primary objective that we have to destroy, it's green, but the targeting computer says it's a friendly craft and you get a "You have destroyed a friendly craft" message when you destroy it.
