I'm really stuck on the Hoth Battle achievement, any advice?
First, know your enemy. The 2 leggers shoot blasts that move very slowly so you can attack them with mild S turns and take them out with ease. The probe droids shoot faster but die in one blast. If you're flying blind just keep shooting to take out probes that might be spawning on the edge of the screen.
Clear the first section quickly, there is no reason to linger there at all. I made one run down and back to clear out all the grey blocks, then dragged the bomb.
Second section can be taken slower. Kill the tiny tower that you see when you first enter. Kill the two white guns on the right. The 4 legger won't do much. Clear out all the stationary stuff first before killing your first 4 legger because after he goes down 2 leggers start spawning in. Take down the second 4 legger quickly, move onto the final section ASAP. If at anytime you get low on health I always did figure 8's until I got back to full.
The 3rd section is the toughest part, but not bad overall. Save the grey blocks/rocks for as long as you can. Most dish out hearts when you destroy them so they're good for backup health. Once again, clear out all your staionary objects like towers and turrets. Clear the level as much as you can early on, things get crowded a bit later. While you're doing this you'll beat the first objective of destroying probe droids by default.
Burn down the 2 leggers ASAP. When you have two 4 leggers to kill is when things will be the toughest. You'll have the most spawns at that time. Just keep cool, keep firing and do what you have to do. When you get to the last wave of mixed opponents, take down the droids and 2 leggers first, they'll stop spawning once you do. Then the last 4 legger is yours with ease.
I used the snow speeder the entire. Everyone has personal preference on ships. I hate switching around to drag bombs.
One key thing is try not to fly so fast that hit the center island on the last section. You take damage if you do.
