Star Wars: TIE Fighter/Gunnery

The TIE Fighter is the most basic of TIE craft - two laser cannons, no shields, and easily destroyed.

Mission 1: Gunnery
This is a simple mission: Destroy all enemy targets.


 * Primary Goals
 * 100% of all ships in Container D group Target must be destroyed. (Appears as 8 instances.)
 * Secondary Goals
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Mover must be destroyed.
 * Bonus Goals
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Fighter must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Diad must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Triad must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Quad must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Quin must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Hex must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Dodec1 must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Dodec2 must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Dodec3 must be destroyed.
 * 100% of all ships in Z-95 Headhunter group Dodec4 must be destroyed.

The primary and secondary goals are straightforward - simply destroy all targets as they appear.

In case of the movers, you can find a sweet spot near the platform to take out the targets as they launch. You should at least be able to take out the enemies upto group Fighter, before having to change tactics.

The action picks up with Z-95 Headhunter Fighter 2, where shields start to regenerate, Fighter 4 where shields are at 50%, and Fighter 5 which has fully charged shields, all alongside an increase in pilot strength.

After the first five fighter groups, you will receive groups of targets. First, you fight against 2 Z-95 headhunters, with wave size increasing by one. When you destroy the group of six, the next wave is a set of 12 Z-95 Headhunters. Destroying those launches a group of 12 X-Wings, with a replacement wave.

Mission 2: Flight Leaders & Wingmen

 * Primary Goals
 * 75% of all X-Wings must be destroyed
 * 75% of all Y-Wings must be destroyed
 * Secondary Goals
 * 100% of all Heavy Lifters must be destroyed
 * Bonus Goals
 * 100% of all X-Wings must be destroyed
 * 100% of all Y-Wings must be destroyed
 * 100% of all A-Wings must be destroyed
 * All Containers must survive.

This is a dogfight mission - focus on the X-Wings first, then target the Y-wings. Leave the heavy lifters for last, as they will take a while to leave.

On hard difficulty, the A-Wings will arrive as soon as you eliminate 75% of the X-Wings and half of the Y-Wings.

Mission 3: Destroy Depot

 * Primary Goals
 * 100% of all X-Wings in group Blue must be destroyed
 * 100% of all A-Wings in group Red must be destroyed
 * 100% of all Tugs group T-XL must be destroyed.
 * Secondary Goals
 * All containers in groups Vic and Limi must be destroyed
 * Bonus Goals
 * All containers in groups Vic and Limi must be identified
 * 100% of all X-Wings in group Gold must be destroyed (4 waves of 3 ships; hard only)
 * 100% of all A-Wings in group Blue must be destroyed (4 waves of 2 ships; hard only)
 * 100% of all B-Wings in group Blue must be destroyed (4 waves of 2 ships; hard only)

The X-Wings start disabled, but if a tug docks with them, they will make five loops around the area before attacking. The A-Wings sleep for approximately 1 minute. After the minute, they awaken and fly in circles for ten laps, before engaging.

To make things easy, target the tugs first, then the A-Wings. Mop up the X-Wings, identify the containers by flying near them, then destroy them. Corvette Perfect will then arrive to pick you up.

However, this isn't the end of combat. On hard difficulty, 3 X-Wings arrive and start attacking. When two waves of those X-wings are destroyed, you will also get A-Wings. The A-Wings are then followed by B-Wings. These additional waves will exclusively attack you - if you can get a stray shot to hit the corvette, you will deploy two additional fighters. You may also call for reinforcements.

Mission 4: Destroy a Probe

 * Primary Goals
 * Destroy probe PR-V74
 * Secondary Goals
 * Destroy all ships in X-Wing group Blue
 * Bonus Goals
 * 100% of all Z-95 Headhunters must be destroyed
 * 100% A-Wing group Gold must be destroyed
 * X-Wing Red 1 must be destroyed

The mission is simple - destroy the probe that's about 15km away. Once you hit the probe, the mission is complete.

The only difficulty is destroying the probe with the A-Wings attacking. As soon as you spot the A-wing approach, find the one that's attacking you, and launch a missile at the craft.
