BE made me adapt more than once. Parts of it were so tricky it made me come up with tactics so nuts they actually work in PVP. Sometimes SS came close to that level, but it never felt completely out of control the way those tier 3 BE missions did.Did BE as my first Imp squad, so no benefits from prepped ships under a previous mastery. Tough, enjoyable missions nothing really hard or tactic changing for me. I did SS with prepped ships, trained 3222 and hopped into my TIE bomber with L10 RE'd engine, L8 RE'd reward shield, L8/L10 RE'd guns and the 5 common used droid commands. And still found SS to be tougher.I think we differ in opinion because I have no problems with Gunships or Couriers, but a TIE Bomber is a really bad choice to do the freaking amount of A-Wing opposition in SS missions in, even with a L10 engine and EO3.Could we agree that BE is tougher if you prefer to fly light fighters and SS when you prefer them big and heavy?
That sounds like a fair distinction. Both of these squads are hard in such a way that they're still challenging even after you're an experienced pilot with some good gear, so it makes a lot of sense that pilot style could increase or decrease the personal difficulty level.
