If its a delivery mission, just hyper to a different quadrant in the same sector a couple of times.
Did something about storm squadron change since JTL was first released? (In other words, why is it impossible now, as opposed to when you did it previously?)
If anything Storm Squadron is easier post-RoTW because of the TIE heavy.
Previously, Tier 3 had to be done with a measley 40k mass TIE/In or 50k mass TIE Interceptor... and yet, it still wasn't impossible.
Like ducimus said, you can jump to another sector to escape, travel or even repair for almost all the tier 3 missions. Also, set your radar to 2km and adjust your travel route when a red blip shows up. (This also helps when heading to a waypoint that you know will spawn fighters. Adjust the direction at which you approach it, so you don't bring strays into the fight)
And of course, a wingman always helps..
(I know, it's tough finding other pilots willing to sit through those long SS missions - but other Storm Squadron aces, if you can find them, are usually willing to help out)
On that last part with the waves of awings. you can dock and once complete, the mission is over.
Lastly, find some pilot friends. even a single 1111 pilot can be extremely helpful since he/she can draw off the fighters or attack them when they target you.
Good luck buddy
PS. if you think this missions hard, wait till you do the next two.
I want to throw in my 2 cents, I prefer the Tie Interceptor over Standard type Ties for taking out A-wings, the gun pattern is much better for A-wings, were I feel the normal Tie you have to be VERY accurate whiletrying to shoot A-wings, you don't need to be as accurate with the Interceptor. Of couse this all depends on if you have the Tie Interceptor.

I prefer the regular TIE's as the guns are more centered, whenever I switch to the Interceptor I always have a bit of a readjusment to make as I'll shoot at an A-wing and all 4 bolts will miss an A-wing, 2 on each side usually. I guess just personal preference on that one.

AI A-wings use alot of throttle also, I always have a problem running into the back of them while they are turning. So, stay back a little, and try to hit them from the top side, as they are turning.

Have to agree with the majority of posters here. Storm squadron is not impossible. I also managed the Awings with a light TIE. Just got to know how to kit your ship out.
IMHO
