Reviews for XWA-IW 2

| | I see that there are a lot of complaints about this battle but I particularly enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty fun. I found the missions engaging. I had played this one last year but honestly I think I was drunk when I did it because I do a lot of drunk flying...it’s on my combat record but I don’t remember it. I found a few things odd – how exactly do they know I’m an Imperial if I’m flying an X Wing? Wasn’t that the whole idea behind the Infiltrator Wing? Also, the third mission was quite dull. You essentially hyper to three separate zones, inspect some asteroids, and wait for an ETR to install a listening device. This takes over 10 minutes with very little action. I also noticed that in one mission, some craft enter pointing the wrong way and nearly crash into each other. I think it was mission two. Otherwise I found it fun! It’s blowing up Rebels...who can complain about that? |

| | The battle was mediocre. Missions were rather short and they also need a little patching up here and there. For instance with some AI orders. Some enemy fighters are set to 'escort' a certain freighter. If you attack that freighter, the fighters do NOT engage you before the freighter is destroyed, making the missions rather simple. That is because 'escort' means 'prevent disabling or boarding'. 'Protect' should have been used instead. Now you can easily pick off the fighters first, as they only go into evasive action. In mission 4 I also found it pretty odd to see three CRVs that are guarding a convoy entering the area towards you, while the rest of the convoy came from a totally different angle. And in missions 1 the pirates immediately called you 'Imperial'... kinda odd if the whole idea of IW is to fool everyone into thinking they're with the New Republic. I'm picking on details, I know, but I feel that paying attention to such detail makes the difference between a good and an excellent battle.

| | At first I did not like it much. But it won be over a bit as I played it. A few missions were a bit to challeging but it was an okay battle.

| | This battle has been mainly converted from the TIE version, I hardly had time to improve it at that time... expect a refreshed version of this battle soon. UPDATE: the updated version has been submitted to the TAC... wait a bit before the new version is uploaded...

| | It was an interesting battle...but the last mission was impossible. I had to skip it. Give us B-wings next time and rockets instead of an X-Wing and 4 Rockets. Plus i think the AI on the wingmen should be raised a bit.

| | Really hard mission, but you could complete it. Except for that last mission. Did the mission 10 times at least and the transports don't show up 90% of the time. I had to tell all my wingmen not to attack that ship or they killed it too quick and the transports never show. Good challenge but that glitch in the last mission kinda killed the fun :(
