Swat, Danna is not flying, if anything she is detained at the airport, if not somewhere else.

She is awaiting a court marshal which would mean she, as a character is effectively out of the roleplay. From now on, and forever.
thank you

Damn Swat 3 is getting chewed.
this usually happens eventually

this usually happens eventually
Yep.

Swat 3 cant delay the ineditable.

Anywho, who is winning so far?

"Megalith you've got a bandit on your six."  Anatoliy says, as he watches an Su-32 roll up on Steele.
He quickly aligns his gun with the jet, firing a short burst that hits the flaps of the jet's left wing and cuts off its left aileron.  He fires another burst, aimed for the roosterpit.  The rounds hit successfully, the glass on the canopy shattering and a small splash of blood splattering the front of the roosterpit.  The jet lost control quickly, and began descending slowly until it hit the dirt, sliding a good few hundred feet before coming to a halt.  "I got him." Anatoliy says.

Anywho, who is winning so far?

If you're asking who's winning the war, it's Nerverak. Most of Cartelian is held by Nerverak, and the 86th Elite Fighter Wing is currently holed up in Darina's international airport, all the way down in Yuktobania. We're currently trying to fend off an unmarked invasion force.


I circumnavigate the furball and contact the JTAC on the channel as briefed.

"Pointer 1, this is Swordsman, one F-16, 20 nm north of Darina, altitude 10000, loaded with 4 CBU-97, 2 AGM-65, 511 Vulcan 20mm. Ready for tasking."

"Swordsman, Pointer 1, I am a qualified JTAC embedded in an IFV column located on a hilltop 23 miles NNW of Darina. Type I is in effect. An allied light armor row is moving in from the east through woodland cover 6 miles from our position. Multiple MANPADS confirmed within the area. Advise when ready for 9-line."

"Ready for 9-line."

I anxiously look out the side of my canopy as the JTAC reads the information over the radio. I quickly review my target and method of attack, look over the IP on an MFD, and read the information back to confirm. The furball looms ever closer. I feel my chest tighten as I circle around for the attack.

"Pointer 1, Swordsman, approaching from the west, 30 seconds."

"Swordsman, you are cleared hot!"

The CCIP reticle sits in the middle of the targeted armor column. Right as my thumb comes to rest over the weapons release, a flurry of warning tones fill the roosterpit and overwhelm my senses. I reflexively jerk the stick and press the button, prematurely letting the CBU-97 fall. Had it been a different munition, the probability of kill would have been slashed by a significant margin.

"Pointer 1, I'm off dry! Fox 2 inbound, aborting!"

My heart pounds. Beads of sweat form around my temples, threatening to occlude my vision as I try to locate the threat. I quickly spot the missile trail, and find the S-32 that launched it directly in front of me...

Missile warnings fill the roosterpit, I immediately dump countermeasures and pull up. An Su-32 swings on my tail. He's stuck in to my tail tight, and there's no outmaneuvering him. I only keep maneuvering to keep myself out of his gun sights.

I get about her missile warning and dump countermeasures again. I roll left and pull hard. The missile flies off and explodes somewhere else. Tracers fly under my right wing.

"Deluge defending, I've got an Su-32 on my ass,"

Tracers stream up from tr ground and meet the Su-32. It is shredded and explodes. I look down and in a small clearing in the forest, there are two Tunguskas. I wiggle my wings and fly into the cloud layer.

I dive in from the top of the clouds and rip the Su-32 to shreds with the cannon. "Avenger 0-4, I got him." I break back up out of the clouds.

The weapons wobble in their stations as I quickly pitch down and pull off a high-G maneuver. Flares light up the sky behind me, fooling the missile's guidance system and causing it to streak past harmlessly. Before I could even think about what to do next, a MiG-29 comes down from the clouds and fires its cannons into the fuselage of the S-32. Both engines catch fire, and the pilot ejects.

"Good kill! Thanks for keeping these forgeters off my back!"

The hostile air had noticeably thinned out over the past few minutes. I turn back around to find that the sensor fuzed weapon had eliminated the armor column I was tasked to destroy. JTAC comes over the radio once more, and I drop another CBU-97 over an encroaching IFV platoon. Molten copper projectiles rain down from the submunitions, making short work of the lightly armored vehicles and any poor souls unfortunate enough to have been outside to witness the event first hand.

I gun down one of the Su-32s, shredding its hydrauldics and control surfaces, and fire a missile at another. It misses. stuff I have only a little gun ammo and two missiles left. forget.

Ammo is your best friend at first then it becomes your worst enemy next.

I get the jump on an F35. He tries the break, and escape, but fails, as I can keep up with him. I get a good tone from my sidewinder, and fire. It misses. RWR indicates that there is another F35 on my tail. The F35 in front of me flies into the clouds. I can still see him on my visor HUD. I follow the F35 in and quickly turn and do Pugachev's cobra. The other F35 lost me and thunders past.

The aircraft corrects itself and a pursue the F35 that was on my tail. The Sidewinder gives me a good tone, and I fire. The enemy jet dumps countermeasures, and the missile decides rather to chase after one of his flares.

I move into gun range and fire, the first quarter second burst misses. I fire again, and the rounds climb up the back of the jet and stop around the right side intake. Fire pours from the tail as the pilot ejects. I lost track of the first F35.

The aircraft only has a little cannon ammo left, and no missiles.

"You have an F-35 on your tail, Demo!"
I fire a missile, but he jinks and pops flares. The missile misses.
"forget."
I fire a quick burst and hit his wing, filling it with holes. He's not down. I fire another burst and tear the wing off.
"Fuuuck, out of gun ammo."
My last missile nails an Su-32.
"Blackwater, Megalith reporting Winchester. How copy?"

steele waits for a response

zherdev is high as forget rn

"Copy Megalith, uhh... Move south, vector 190, for 50 miles. Stay above angels 15. We're not sure if this invasion force will drop a huge bomb on Darina International, assuming they are aligned with Neverak. There is a tanker plane at that location too,"
