Chapter 1: General Strategies

This section covers general strategies for completing Rebel Strike and acquiring medals.

When you're trying to complete missions for gold medals, remember that once you complete the mission in any fashion, you may unlock other usable craft. In many occasions, different craft--other than the default selection--could help you complete the mission more quickly.
If you're falling short on the kill requirements of certain missions, order your wingmen to flee. If they're sticking with you, those wingmen may kill some enemies, which will make it more difficult for you to meet the requirement.
If you have trouble beating a mission the first time, consider using the targeting computer, especially on missions when you must protect a specific craft. The targeting computer makes it easier to target TIE fighters or other threats to the craft you're attempting to protect. Using the targeting computer will cost you medals but it will help you complete the mission. Once defeated, you can go back and attempt the mission again, either with a better (or different ship) and the knowledge of what's to come so you can better prepare and anticipate the enemy movements.
Accuracy is another requirement that can be tough to meet. Using accurate homing missiles is certainly wise but if it's a larger, more durable target, it's better to use lasers because you can fire many more lasers and each successful hit improves your hit to miss ratio. This keeps your percentage high. Practice shooting only when you need to. Against smaller craft, like TIE fighters, lead them with your crosshairs or wait until they turn and approach your position head-on. Center the incoming TIE in your crosshairs and fire a couple shots to destroy the Imperial craft.
On ground missions, you can run at specific enemies to target them or stand in place while firing. Your character will target specific enemies and adjust targets after each kill.
Another key to acquiring better medals is to get the tech upgrades. These are scattered throughout many missions (their locations are revealed in the walk-throughs and in the specific Tech Upgrade section later in this guide) and can boost your lasers, shields, and secondary weapons. Acquire the upgrades then return to previous missions and enter battle with stronger abilities.
