A classic example of a complete mess of a mission - and also why it so handy to have reviews, to help you as well. In my first fly through (on easy) I disabled the tug, hung about in case anything came near, waited for the mission complete and then got right out of Dodge! A 'easy' point, perhaps, but not very fun.

Blink once and you'll miss it. Really far too simple for a mission and can be completed in under 2 minutes with no threat to the player craft or the mission critical ones that you need to protect.

Disable a tug and defend the Hammer. Sounds easy, right? It should be, and it was for me on my third go around, but on my first try the TUG was destroyed and I couldn't find out why. Second try, disabled the tug, found the problem: a CRV hypers in, and if you disable the tug a little too late, it smashes right in to it and/or has the ability to smoke it. So, after you disable the TUG just make sure you hug it and watch out for any incoming CRVs. The mission objectives are super unclear too, even if it's obvious what you're supposed to do. This was on easy so ymmv.

I played on Easy. If you're following the main objectives, this mission is literally nothing. You disable a Tug and wait for 90 seconds. Maybe it's worth another look if you want to chase a high score or something.

Okay the mission file was already very suspicious. When I started playing it I was surrounded by Germans! Then a tug boat that I shot instantly but forgot to switch to Ions....replayed the mission and this time I watched as the STRC Luftwaffe was always destroyed. It was all a bit too real. Speaking of real....it was real quick too. Definitely fly this one.

Just horrible. Avoid this one. Waste of time, play it only for completion points.

Quick and simple mission. Destroy some caps and disable a TUG. Wait around until finish. Funny names and shenanigans made this mission comedic. But there's better things out there to fly.

This was a short battle, however, the pace of the action and combat more than compensates for it. A well-made mission.
