XWA-F 72: Deception
Battle Information
Designed as a sequel to XWA-free 9: Supply Transfer and XWA-free 30: Capture the M/FRG Hound
Battle Reviews
Didn't grab my attention as much as the last mission but still I am wanting to know where this is going.
Probably the weakest of the M/FRG Hound saga. The missions happen in the useless MIS version in XWA. The idea of having a Missile Boat with Ion Pulses and Advanced Missiles was excellent though, since it would become unbeatable for interdiction and seizure mission. Alas, it does not operate the dual warheads of the original design, and the whole mission is about sinking those nasty ATRs on Ion pulses, which was hard enough, and pointless, since the mission is a short one. Fly it to complete the story, but nothing more besides the usual point of FCHG.
Not very fun, and very difficult even on easy with ATR's with pretty high AI and missiles without the player having any countermeasures. The invincible Hound does not help. The story doesn't have much of a point either.
It's our friendly neighourhood super modified FRG Hound. Back to action. Unfortunately, this mission is too blunt and the FRG itself is indestructible, so don't waste your missiles on it. Short and sweet as a mission with a very interesting premise but the execution was lacklustre.
