118th Tactical Fighter Wing: Aces are Born - Mission 9 - Shattered Skies

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"Lead point for the bombing?"

[Ad Bot]

[xxxxkill]

"Yes!" I flew at the bombers, guns blazing. One went down, another exploded in midair. I got heat lock on one and said, "You're going down, bitch." I fired off a heat-seaking missile, and the bomber went down in flames.

*accent*"I do not enjoy destroying such Russian beauties."

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"Um... okay." I blasted down another AA gun. "All multirole fighters, take out the aircraft hangars and control towers. Fighters, focus on the AA guns and planes on the runways."

*accent*"I do not enjoy destroying such Russian beauties."

"I frankly don't give a damn, this is our mission."

I fire a burst from my cannon into a SU - 27 attempting to take off. It breaks apart and bursts into flames. I drop a bomb, letting the JDAM fall unguided and crater the runway. "This is Phoenix 5, I just destroyed a 27 trying to take off. The runway's been cratered but they might have slipped out under radar."

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"What's a 27 doing up here!?"

[xxxxkill]

I flew near the formation. "Doesn't matter, if it's hostile, kill it. Kill it with fire."

[Vegetarian Zombie]

I fired at several Tornadoes (TND-INS) bombers attempting to take off. "Take the bombers down... we need to complete this."

[xxxxkill]

I dived, fired off some missiles, and pulled up. I had trashed the runway, and a few AA cannons. I flew nearly straight up, leveling before I stalled.

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"Stick to your planned targets!" Skyeye yelled. "With all due respect, sir, the bombers are taking off too quickly." I answered.

[xxxxkill]

"Not for long!" I fired a few missiles at the bombers, then switched to machineguns. Two exploded, another crashed into one of the planes that had not taken off yet.

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"Hey, look there." I heard an Erusean accent say. "Right there's why we were called in here." I turned and saw 10 fighters flying in. "Oh damn... 10 fighters inbound at the 8 o'clock!"

[xxxxkill]

"stuff. Blaze 1, and all other Tiger II's follow me, we are going to engage."

[HelplessNobb88]

I see a SAM site tracking me. I fire a rocket and it disappears in a fireball. Suddenly the lock alarm goes wild in my roosterpit, but I don't have anything on radar. I drop flares, and then my back seater reports a sight that makes my hair stand up; "Mattra, I got some 35's on our ass, I suggest you do something about it!" "Roger." "This is Phoenix 5, I have bandits. There's a couple chasing me and I cant get 'em off my tail!"

My WIO reports back to me; "Mattra, they are SU - 35s." "Aw stuff..."

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"Got it." I turned from the planes on the ground, and gunned the afterburners towards the enemy fighters. I ducked below, and began to execute an Immelmann's Turn.

"This is Phoenix 5, I have stealth aircraft, repeat, stealth aircraft. There's a couple chasing me and I cant get 'em off my tail!"

My WIO reports back to me; "Mattra, they are Berkuts. SU - 47s." "Aw stuff..."

They can't have such advanced planes, this is too early in the war. We'd be screwed.
