mission theme

"shame, I was about to light up that bridge."

I continue to deploy chaff for the squad

The SAM batteries appear to be holding their fire.

"COMRO, Hawkeye, requesting three anti-ship missiles."

You receive the missiles.

Bell fires a UAC round into K-8's hull.

Already badly damaged, the Corvette breaks apart and sinks.

I begin my return to the COMRO vessel.
The missiles overtake me.
"Holy stuff! Look at all those ship to ship missiles!"

You see at least three of the smaller vessels go under before the counter-salvo is launched. You get the feeling that even with the Dreadnought gone, the allied fleet is still in trouble.

Having used up my ordnance except for a RGM, I deploy chaff to cover the squad.

No SAMs reach their targets.

I begin the long flight back to the Mercanan fleet to get resupplied.

You arrive at the fleet after a while.

"Mjolnir Crash, COMRO, requesting another full load of AGM's,"

"Be advised that you actually have to be present to be resupplied."
Also, now that the most immediate threat has been nullified, you no longer have access to super missile storm limit break.
I'm gonna have to find some kind of balance regarding how many missiles can be shot per player in a turn. Probably around four, maybe six. Eleven is a little ridiculous and broken to be coming from one plane.

: [Oh dearie me. Helm! Full reverse! We'll have to drive this thing backwards the whole way if we have any hope of getting back intact. Fleet, cover our retreat! Frigate-5, Cruiser-2, and all remaining Patrol Boats, come with us. The rest of you, delay the Mercanans.]

Dozens of anti-ship missiles launch from the cruisers, headed for the Mercanan fleet.
: We're seeing that the Dreadnought is retreating. I doubt they'll make it back to port in that state, focus on the forces staying behind.

The non-retreating forces are marked as primary targets on your HUD.

sorry it took so long i was out watching this yesterday
they say if i keep volunteering there i might get to ride in a b25

mission theme

I keep seeding chaff.

You are able to prevent Snake-Eyes and the rest of your squadron from taking on any further SAMs.

"Firing! Eat stuff!"
I fire all AGMs and start climbing.

I shouldn't allow this at all, but given the circumstances...
It's a total clusterforget. Your plane was clearly never meant to fire this many missiles at once, as evidenced by several of them smashing into each other on or shortly the launch. Another three are shot down by point-defense, leaving "only" five to hit the bow of the ship.

I fly towards the ship after the salvo of AGM's and fire my ASM

With the point-defense overwhelmed by the barrage of AGMs, your ASM is able to slip in unrestricted.

Bell fires her UAC at one of the point defense turrets on the dreadnought before clearing out by dispersing chaff and turning away.

You destroy the turret.

Tippy and Locke fire everything

Everything is fired except the torcreepes, for obvious reasons.

Fanak's survivor goes in for a gun run on the bridge, and you all get to see the cumulative damage done to the dreadnought. The entire bow area has been reduced to burning scrap and is taking on water.

mission theme

"Fanak-1, Tippy, and Walt; remain on standby and do not engage the dreadnought, we're going to have Gladiator tag the bow of the ship so we can neutralize that cannon. Get in position for an attack."

: Yes Ma'am, standing by.

"Shoho-4 and Lieutenant Helm, we are going to go in there first to draw their fire so that Gladiator can at least attach a tag beacon to the front of the dreadnought. Hawkeye, I'm not sure what you can do so just disperse chaff."

: Roger that, I'm going in.

Bell turns up the throttle and flies in, dispersing chaff and firing a shot from her UAC at the bridge before pulling out at the end of the run.
hopefully the second person will actually follow

Though you aren't sure how much damage you actually did to the bridge, you succeed in drawing fire. As you dive in, you take a pounding from the PD fire and very briefly pick up another two SAMs-

I dive down a bit and drop a bit of chaff to cover for the rest of Mjolnir.

-which are then negated by both Hawkeye's and your chaff-

I attack their defenses with my seekers

-and their launchers destroyed by Whiskey's seekers.
The Kintharian pilot follows in from port, drawing more fire from that side's CIWS emplacements and knocking out the forward and middle SAM sites on that side.

Faw increases his throttle to top speed and dumb-fires a TAG cannon at the super-weapon on the ship.

It sticks to the top of the deck a little bit to port of the center axis and begins broadcasting its targeting data for everyone to see. The time to attack is now. (though i would advise keeping your distance when you do, or hauling ass as soon as you expend your ordnance but hey thats just me)

"Eleven AGM's," I radio.

They resupply you as best they can in the time allotted.

I begin to swim towards the frigate, hoping to get shot before I get ate.

A crewman on the deck notices you swimming towards the ship and grabs a life preserver ring off the railing. He throws it out to you and you follow its flight path when suddenly something clamps down on your leg and drags you underwater. Needless to say, you don't resurface.

The Mercanan Fleet will be in range in ONE turn.

mission theme

Faw starts to fly towards the battleship.

um
ok
you're now flying at the battleship
Cruiser-1 fires a pair of SAMs at you.

I fly towards the Shiva, attempting to get its attention.

It ignores you and keeps chasing Gladiator, trying to set up another shot.

"Mjolnir Crash, COMRO Vessel, requesting Anti-Ship Missiles,"

"Understood. Please specify number and go to the designated coordinates."
A waypoint on your HUD appears.

I begin to swim to the floating debris, which once was PB-5.

You hear one of the crewmen scream and see them get dragged under the water.

I fire another AAM at the Shiva and fire off some more ac5 once I turn and face them.

The AAM takes the Shiva out, negating the need to fire the AC5.

Tippy targets FFG4 dropping a Torcreep while dropping chaff. Her AC5 fires wildly despite it probably not being effective.

The Frigate is split down the middle and sinks in two halves. You pick up two SAMs from the dreadnought.

what happen

You notice that Frigate-1 is no longer on your display.

Fanak goes in for an attack on the dreadnought and one of their planes gets shot down.
: No! Pags!

The Mercanan Fleet will be in range in TWO turns.

All things considered I think you're full of stuff

Not sure about the dog but I'm fairly sure those people's running animations are reused.
I've heard (but i dont know where the source was so it might be horsestuff) that FO4 is going to be running on the Creation engine, which is what Skyrim used.
