My radar shows a nice, rather large target approaching Etral, I quickly target it and fire one of the AMRAAMs. A second later, the tones in my ear go haywire, I look at my radar screen and it gets staticy, I am being jammed by the target. The air war is beginning to come into view. I notice a rather small object on my radar, it is to my 10 o'clock low. I roll a bit, and notice that it is a drone, in a silent orbit around the battle. I roll over and dive on it, the drone gets bigger and bigger, my HUD indicator alerts me that I can use guns. The little drone disintegrates under the overwhelming volume of fire. I pop a few flares and climb sharply, then level off, take my picking of a target, fire my last AMRAAM, and get jammed again. Afterburner active, I burn for dogfight. The chattering of other 86th pilots fills my ears.
A wing of bombers lumbers underneath me and I roll over to engage, the tone of the sidewinders fills my ear. I launch it, and it hurdles down towards the flight lead. The bomber deploys flares but it proves futile, the missile strikes one of his engines, which begins to burn. The bomber looses altitude and drops its bombs into the ocean. I realize my speed and the dive angle, and accidently overshoot before it can be corrected, and loop around for another pass. I come in behind the second bomber, how is shaking back and forth. He drops flares every few seconds, I wait. The last flare drops and the sidewinder is fired, the bomber dumps another load of flares. The missile follows one and explodes harmlessly.
I close the gap between us and press for guns. The first burst misses, but the second stream opens his fuel tank, but doesn't light it. A white stream of glittery fuel trails the bomber as it leans left on its damaged wing.
The HUD lights up with a radar warning, indicating I've been locked.
"Tempest, your nine high!" An unfamiliar voice cries.
The radar warning lights up.
I dump flares in time to see a missile speed away into the sky, a bright stream of tracers cuts by my roosterpit. I look left, a fighter is bearing down on me. The aircraft overshoots and screams past, and I dive for him, we enter the dreaded rolling scissors...
I think it would help if we had more information, like locations, vectors, a map, aircraft types, a better description of what is going on, etc. Just a suggestion.
EDIT: Swat, for future reference, sidewinders have a 20lb warhead, they would not penetrate the deck of a carrier, that is not to say though that the carrier's deck could have planes on it, however, I'm not sure how many planes they would have on the deck during launching an alpha strike of sorts. I'm not a mod so I wouldn't worry about changing up your story.
