Reflecting Mirror Attack

"I'm out of munitions, but I figure that last plate can be destroyed if you guys fire everything we've got left at it."
Ellie keeps her distance from the array.
"Alright.. Scorch can fire at that defending LAMS, while the Starvipers and Blackeye release their missiles on that last levitation array, then we can all hightail it out of here."

Markus fires both of his remaining ARMs at the LAMs that Skytracer marked, then breaks off of the plate.
"That's it, I'm out of munitions, breaking off!"

LAMS rolls to destroy missiles:
ARM 1: 100 - failure
ARM 1: 87 - failure
The missiles destroy the AMS turret.

Ash catches sight of the drone getting blown to bits. Hearing Markus' callout, he decides to hold off on rearming and instead turns back around to bolster the saturation attack.
"Watchtower, Blackeye, cancel rejoin, I'm turning back around to attack!" Ash trains the Corsair's scanner to the reflector's remaining levitation plate and fires his last two RGMs. "Fox one!"

With the relevant LAMS arrays out of the picture, nothing stands in the way of your RGMs as they crash into the target. With nothing left to keep it afloat, the mirror platform begins plummeting downward towards the tower below.

: Excellent work! The mirror platform has been neutralized!
: Woo-hoo! There it goes!


Palisade Phase 1

Bell takes a second to aim and fires on the damaged SAM launcher with rockets.

"Looks like one of the rounds hit, no visible effect on target," Lorens notes, "Using JSM."

With the SPI already set in the Shiva's targeting pod, it's a simple matter to arm the strike missiles and train the electro-optical seeker to its target. Lorens thumbs the munitions release button and sends two JSMs to finish off Silo H.

"Rifle ripple!"

The silo door takes two direct hits and explodes open. You see a flash from within.

Reflecting Array Attack

Ellie flies around to get a lock on one of the LAMS emplacements surrounding the northeastern levitation plate.
"Alright, I'll fire on the two LAMS turrets surrounding this plate, you two better open fire on it with everything you have left."
She fires on one of the LAMS turrets with two ARMs, quickly adjusting her heading to fire another two at the second turret.

LAMS 1 rolls to destroy missiles:
ARM 1: 59 - success
ARM 2: 87 - failure

LAMS 2 rolls to destroy missiles:

"Dammit," Ash mutters, "SWACS, copy, I am engaged defensive, will read back bearing and altitude once I confirm splash on the bandit!"
The Corsair bobs and weaves in guns defense. Ash looks over his shoulder, but it's too difficult to make the drone out against the stratosphere.

The Shiva returns to altitude and levels off. Lorens marks Silo H with a SPI and prepares to attack.
"I'm going to plug that last silo. Snowman, in hot!" He pushes down on the stick and dives on his target. The massive dorsal airbrake extends to handicap the aircraft's descent. Lorens puts the pipper over the center of the silo door and squeezes the trigger.

Reflecting Array Attack

"Starviper-2, can you circle around with Scorch and attack the levitation array from the other side? I'll try to finish off the damaged one."

The second plate is destroyed.

Sparks shower the canopy as the laser beam carves a molten gash down the length of the fuselage. Ash yelps, turns his fighter back around with all haste and maneuvers erratically to defend from further laser attacks.

"SWACS, Blackeye," Ash calls out over a secure comms channel, "I've turned back around and am now flying to you on vector 140, request rejoin for aerial rearmament," he finishes with a gulp and exhales.

Jaakko snaps his aircraft around, but catches a glimpse of Palisade shifting and preparing to fire. He takes his aircraft on a path around Palisade, and firewalls the throttle, maximizing his angular velocity to the installation.

"Is that thing going to fire at us?!"

: I'm not about to stand around to find out. Djuriskas, break south now!

Oh boy, that can't be good, now I'm wondering if it's supposed to kill everything below or above it.

Reflecting Array Attack

"This is Skytracer, requesting resupply." Ellie maintains her distance away from the reflecting array and a steady heading.

Markus lines up for resupply.
"Mjolnir 2, requesting resupply, 4 ARMs."

: Understood. Be advised, only four replacement missiles remaining. Make them count.

"How many loving drones does this thing have?"
Still wary of the plasma gun's temperature, Ash decides it would be better to eliminate the threat and make room for a COMRO resupply.
"That first drone is on my radar now," he communicates, "Fox one ripple!" Another two missiles drop from their pylons and shoot off to intercept Bothynus-9.

Reflecting Array Attack

Sighing in irritation, Markus looks to see if there's any possible blind spots in the LAMS arrays.

Considering exactly zero of the six LAMS emplacements have been destroyed, no there is not.

"Alright, we should be able to disable the damaged levitation array if we all fire on it at once, give it everything you've got."

Ellie turns back around to fire her RGMs and LCB at the damaged array, hoping that the cannon doesn't get damaged from the heat.

LAMS 1 rolls to intercept missiles:

"Fox one on the target!"

One of the RGMs reaches its target, destroying a mirror outright and doing some damage to the other two adjacent.

Ellie doubles back to assist the Starvipers, opening fire on Lunadart-3 and Lunadart-4 with two ARMs each.

"Good stuff Scorch!" Ash pitches the Corsair to face the reflector array and slaves his radar to the third and fourth Lunadart.

Reflecting Array Attack

"Ah hell, we've got more incoming, Scorch, help out Blackeye so he doesn't get killed, I'll try to take care of these so we all don't die."

Ellie opens fire on one of the launching drones with her LCB and fires two ARMs at the other one.

The first drone takes a hit and the second is taken down.

Ash overshoots the bandit in a flash. Though extreme airspeeds make it difficult to determine exactly what happened, Ash figures the Lunadart must have pulled a Cobra. Guy's got guts. He slams the power lever forward and pushes the engines to their limit. With the Lunadart likely possessing greater speed and maneuverability than the Corsair, Ash elects the help of the Mercanan stratofighters.

"Starviper-6, this is Blackeye, I've got the bandit lead on my six. I'm currently driving back South by East. On my mark, I'm going to turn around and fire on one of your Lunadarts. The moment I do, can I trust you to shoot mine?"

Markus turns around and fires two ARMs at the Lunadart chasing Ash.

Foxbat base EV 60
Roll: 68
The Foxbat is hardly the most maneuverable plane ever built, and at this altitude where there's less air to grip the turning radius is even more dreadful. Compound this with the high speeds you're moving at, and it's all you can do to even get yourself pointed at the Lunadart. You are now pointed at the target and locking on.

: Warning! Incoming from Palisade!

Out of the three of you, only Skytracer is pointed at the Reflecting array, and even she doesn't see the flash this time.

Skytracer will enter gun range of the reflecting array in 2 turns.

Palisade Phase 1

"Sorry about that, hope you guys are comfy back there. I'll get you guys on the ground as soon as I'm able to clear a spot for you."

Walter pauses for a moment as he surveys the fight

"Silo-D is opening, anyone have something that can hit the rocket from here before it gets up to speed?"

: I'll handle it.

Bell aims and fires her LCB at Nox-2.

One direct hit on the drone.

The Shiva is hit with another laser strike, leaving a scar of molten slag trailing across its port ventral body. Lorens pays the damage no heed and presses forward. His RWR picks up the radar scans of Umbral-2. He takes the initiative by firing his remaining all-aspect missiles at the drone.

Reflecting Array Attack

The Lunadarts blow past Ash's canopy in a blur.

"[forget it!] Starviper flight, this is Blackeye, I've merged with the threat! I'm turning back around to engage the bandits, we can't attack the target with these starfishs breathing down our necks!"

In that moment, Ash increases power and pulls into an Immelmann to get above and behind the bandits. Looking up directly to index his maneuver with the horizon, a peculiar rising feeling takes hold in his loins as he realizes how far down the planet's surface is. He soon finds the first Lunadart, brings it to his nose and rights his aircraft.

"I've got the bandit lead on my nose now! He's in my sights!" Ash pulls the trigger, "Guns!"

This far up and going this fast, you find your turning radius to be considerably wider than usual. Though you are able to bring the rear end of the Gothic stratofighter into sight, it's way out ahead of you and the glob of plasma you discharge towards it passes overhead.

The Lunadart begins to gradually pull up, then suddenly pitches completely vertical, losing enough speed to force you to fly directly under it.
: [You're out of your element, barbarian. Let me help you back down a few dozen kilometers.]

It is safe to assume the Lunadart is now tailing you.

"Skytracer, requesting four RGMs and two thunderbolts, Scorch, you better grab some too while Blackeye is giving us that opening."

Ellie maintains her heading towards the array, taking aim at one of the LAMS emplacements.

"...DAMMIT!"
Markus ignores all of the warnings going off in his helmet and proceeds to steady his course for resupply.
"S-WACS, I need four Thunderbolts, if you've got the material."

: We'll spare what we can.

The SWACS resupplies you with a full load of Active Radar Missiles.
: These aren't quite as accurate as Semi-Actives, nor as damaging, but they're fire-and-forget and can be fired from just as far out.

The reflecting platform launches two more drones which turn in your direction.

Palisade Phase 1

The Shiva shudders as its reactive armor ablates from the laser strike. Lorens clicks his tongue and continues undeterred.
"Going after the second Typhoon!"
Lorens places the IR seeker diamond on Typhoon-2. The shrill cry of the launch authorization tone pulsates in his ears. "I've got tone!" A pair of all-aspect missiles detach from the pylons and shoot forward on a path to intercept their target, "Fox-2 ripple! Crash, Snowman, I'm leaving formation to join the strike group!"

Trusting the missiles will prevent the threat from making additional attacks, the Shiva drops out of the formation and maneuvers in with Djuriskas flight.
"Djuriskas flight, this is Snowman, I'll trail guys you to the target," he enunciates.

"If I see another one of those rockets launch I'm immediately trying to shoot it down, I want that reflection array out of the picture."

The reflected beam impacts Faw's airframe, stripping off the ablative armor in a flurry of bright sparks and plumes of vaporized armor plating, rocking the plane to the side, and giving his guts a good churning. He regains control of both his plane and his nerves, and clicks on the comms for a sitrep.
"Everything's still functional over here-" Faw checks his systems and subsystems for any signs of damage, flicking through the condition screens on his HUD "-so far, at least."
After making sure his plane is still in one piece, he activates the cloaking system, and starts to aim for Typhoon-1. His voices creaks in over comms, "Going after Typhoon-1."

Ellie fires two seekers each at Lunadart 1 and Lunadart 2.

The missiles acquire lock, detach from their hardpoints, and slowly begin to pull ahead of you. At altitudes like these where reduced atmospheric drag allows the Corsair to surpass its typical maximum speed, you realize you have encountered the uncommon problem of being almost as fast as the heatseekers you are carrying.

They ultimately do reach their targets before you, though they are met with difficulty tracking at such high speeds. One of the enemy planes is hit once.

"I can't, I'm already tracking another target, I'm gonna extend back to range after I get the splash to target the reflectors," Ash replies. He maneuvers to keep the drone in the radar reference circle.

The drone makes one last attempt to bag its target with the beam laser, fails, and goes down to the first RGM.

Lunadart-1 fires an Active Radar Missile at Skytracer, and 2 fires one on Scorch.

Now at gun range of the Lunadarts. They will pass and be behind you next turn.
