For a training program it is a good dogfighting simulator, I would say. It's alright overall. With good energy management and dogfighting you can beat this mission on Hard.
An interesting combat simulation. Mind my words as i'm a first timer at TIE Fighter classic, so my opinion might not have much weight, but I did enjoy the myriad of objectives to do, and to outsmart Rebel craft in a TIE Fighter for sure.
I mean it's alright as a simple dogfighting mission, you can have a lot of fun just blowing entire squadrons up, but the enemies seem to barely put up a fight even on Hard.
Honestly this is a good first impression of what the unit can build for a custom mission. I have really gotten invested in this story against Rogue Squadron, feeling like I was their counterpart. This mission pack never stops, pitting you against the odds as you fly against large formations of X, Y, A, and B wings all together. My only criticism is the enormous difficulty on hard mode, but it is a matter of just getting used to the whole issue. I personally am looking forward to do more of these mission packs as soon as I'm able to.
