After Jakov and Shinenzu wiped the floor with the rest of the aerial defenses, the skies were pretty much vacant with the exception of us, the anti-aircraft tracer rounds they shot at us, and the occasional SAM. What was originally a stuffstorm suddenly became business as usual. Or maybe it was business as usual to begin with.
Three down, two ships to go. I checked in with my wingmen over the radio, and they were almost done with their groups.
My A-10 is already riddled with bullet holes, and I was having latency issues with my port aileron. Not in the mood to be shot at, I decided to back away from the ships a little and try something else, just for stuffs and giggles.
Weapon systems set to toss-bombing mode. I climb up to about 10000 feet, and I enter a dive facing away from the ships. Then, I pull up and start a loop. 70 degrees ... 80 ... 90 ... Pickle. "Alley-oop!" I release the bomb a few degrees past the vertical, giving it a pretty high-angle ballistic trajectory. I roll out of the loop, and I look past my starboard to take a look at the ship. About ten to fifteen seconds later, I see the bomb land right in the middle of the ship where it explodes, sending out a fireball and hot shrapnel everywhere in the surrounding area.
"forget yeah! Three points!"
An over-the-shoulder pass. Otherwise known to pilots as the "Idiot's Loop," perfectly executed. I felt pretty accomplished. But, enough of that. It's about time we wrapped up.
For the last ship, I just do an ordinary loft-bombing. Shallow dive, pull up, release. Boom. The ship goes down in a blaze of fire.
