A TEST OF SKILL The galaxy is engulfed in the flames of Civil War. In the vast reaches between the stars great battles erupt with searing laser blasts and fiery explosions. Amidst the Empire's Star Destroyers and the Rebellion's Mon Calamari cruisers dart small craft of incredible power and speed... the starfighters. Through the skill and bravery of the men and women who pilot these deadly craft, the outcome ultimately will be decided.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter was the sequel to both X-Wing and TIE Fighter and was first released in 1997. Though the game lacked a comprehensive campaign mode (like the well fleshed-out, highly praised story-based campaigns of its predecessors) it included a series of non-connected single player missions. Its main selling point, however, was that it would allow online play for players to hone their interstellar dogfighting skills against fellow wetware-based intelligence. In this sense, it perhaps could be best compared to Electronic Arts' Battlefield series or other games focusing strictly on online play.That said, critics and gamers alike were disappointed by the lack of a single-player campaign mode, so LucasArts released an expansion pack, Balance of Power only a few months afterwards. The expansion contained a campaign each for the Rebellion and Empire, and greatly expanded the playability of the game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Gang Up on the Human: Possible tactic used by AI - one mission has three fighters specifically target human players. In addition, humans can do the same by pressing 'P' to target the next human craft.

Easy Level Trick: In single player mode, the Pirate Targets melee will set your AI competitors to use the exact same craft that you've selected for yourself. If you give yourself torpedoes, the AI will never fire these, even though they can be used effectively against some of the slower targets. Some missions where the primary objective is to destroy a capital ship can be won very quickly by equipping heavy rockets. By rotating through the fighters on your wing and firing the rockets as soon as they are locked on, the battle can be over within a couple minutes.

Hitbox Dissonance: As long as your cockpit doesn't slam into enemy containers, your craft doesn't take Collision Damage (especially with the B-Wing). Lasers and other projectiles work as expected.
