ABS FIESTA - LOCKED EDITION

[xxxxkill]

"Yggdrasil, do you have any information on the make and model of the enemy aircraft?" I check my radar screen again.

"Affirmative. Enemy aircraft appear to be off-hand MiG-21s, do not expect such low-quality aircraft from the rest of the Huitzlaotani militar- what the hell...

...Mjolnir be advised, there is a new engagement approaching, no IFF, single aircraft."

Suddenly a jet screeches past Mjolnir 1-4, far too close for comfort. It heads straight at Valkyrie wing as it turns back for another cannon run, and 2-4 and 2-5 break off from formation to engage. The pilot of the new jet suddenly dumps speed, pulls out of an apparent stall, and looses a missile at 2-5, tearing the pilot right out of the sky.
"2-5 DOWN, REPEAT 2-5 IS DOWN!" yells Valkyrie 2-4.
As the friendly aircraft attempts to out-maneuver the hostile, the enemy aircraft stays right behind him, the bandit possessing greater speed, maneuverability, and skill than Valkyrie 2-4. "I can't shake him, somebody assi-"
2-4's communications suddenly cut out as the plane simply... loses control. The Valkyrie pilot, unable to control his aircraft or eject, just panics in the roosterpit as his aircraft slams nose-first into the ground. There's no way he survived that crash.
The enemy pilot wheels back around to strike the now almost-defenseless remainders of Valkyrie wing, and they spread out. Valkyrie 2-2's voice suddenly registers in your ears. "We're practically loving sitting ducks out here! Somebody intercept that loving aircraft!"

I GUESS WE'RE GETTING TO SOME
ACE
COMBAT
HUEH.

[Theepicman]

Quack quack.

[mlockha]

Obrad quickly turns his aircraft around, doing a spin and ending up upside down. He rights the airplane up and then attempts to lock onto the enemy jet. He fires, but the jet evades. He continues to chase the jet, firing cannon rounds at him

[Comatose]

I whip my head to the right as the bandit screeches by, and I dump my speed before performing a sharp turn and activating my Sidewinder missiles, attempting to get a clear lock on him.

"1-8 engaging."

As the speakers in the roosterpit beep, my HUD flashes red with a lock indicator and I instinctively fire. The Sidewinder shoots off toward the jet before it careens off into empty air, spiraling before exploding as his chaff deploys. I switch to my cannon and glance to my right, watching as 1-5 buzzes the jet without success.

I quickly switch back to my Sidewinders, engaging my afterburner in an attempt to close the gap between myself and the bandit.

"Coming in hot, Condor."

[Operator¹]

"Valkyrie 2-2, I'm closing in on your position, get the hell out of there!" I close in on the remainder of the Valkyrie squadron. [Missile Alert] flashes on my HUD. "stuff!" I pull on my stick hard as I do a hard-left turn and the missile flies past. "Damn it, Yggdrasil, are both of Valkyrie's escort fighters down?"

"Coming in hot, Condor."

"Alright, Lapse. Lock onto him while I distract him with cannon rounds."
I continue to fire cannon rounds at the jet, in an attempt to give Lapse time to fire a missile and destroy it.

I pull on my stick hard as I do a hard-left turn and the missile flies past. "Damn it, Yggdrasil, are both of Valkyrie's escort fighters down?"

"Affirmative, Valkyrie 2-4 and 2-5 are both down."

The bandit allows 1-8 to fly in closer before suddenly turning perpendicular to the ground, the hostile's engines passing what feels like a mere meter above Lapse's roosterpit. The bandit levels out, and suddenly a heatseeker roars out from underneath the trailing aircraft, the enemy continuing to stay trailing behind Lapse even as the missile is fired. The instrumentation on Lapse's plane also registers a radar lock at the same time.

Whoops I may have said the wrong call sign my bad

Obrad slows his engines in response, ending up behind the bandit. He then locks onto the bandit, firing a missile that hopefully takes out the wing.


so it looks like:

lapse <- bandit <- condor

[Operator¹]

"Mjolnir 1-4 to Yggdrasil, are tactical datalinks available at this time?" I continue to fly close to the Valkyrie squadron's A-10s while occasionally peeking back at the battle with the new bandit, Condor, and Lapse.

Indeed.

Obrad slows his engines in response, ending up behind the bandit. He then locks onto the bandit, firing a missile that hopefully takes out the wing.

The bandit looses off the same attack they used on Valkyrie 2-4 as they swerve off to the side, dumping chaff as they go.
While the pilot could not get a full lock, they were still able to scramble Lapse's controls and instruments. 1-8's plane is temporarily knocked out of action, and it is unknown whether it'll take three seconds for his plane's systems to kick back online, or whether he's completely forgeted.
Fortunately, it is the former.

"Mjolnir 1-4 to Yggdrasil, are tactical datalinks available at this time?" I continue to fly close to the Valkyrie squadron's A-10s while occasionally peeking back at the battle with the new bandit, Condor, and Lapse.

"Affirmative, a link will be opened when needed."

[Comatose]

god dammit xx i was typing stuff not cool at all


I yell in frustration as my systems shut down and I watch the bandit peel off.

"forget!"

As my instruments come back online, I sigh and look down at my weapon status. I've lost connection to my weapons systems, including my remaining Sidewinders and my cannon. I engage my airbrake and quickly dump speed to join the rest of the squadron.

"Pulling away. Weapons down."

[Operator¹]

"1-4 here, I've got a visual lock on the bandit, I'll transmit the coordinates if a data link gets set up."

[xxxxkill]

god dammit xx i was typing stuff not cool at all

Ha ha you're 2slow

"1-4 here, I've got a visual lock on the bandit, I'll transmit the coordinates if a data link gets set up."

"Establishing datalink now, transmit when ready."

Hey guys if you all shoot missiles at the dude at the same time at least one of them will hit.
I mean except Comatose because I knocked out his weapons systems hA HA

[Comatose]

Ha ha you're 2slow

"Establishing datalink now, transmit when ready."

I mean except Comatose because I knocked out his weapons systems hA HA[/i][/size]

excuse me but i actually have stuff to do i'm not on call to type things 24/7

[xxxxkill]

Ha ha loser having a life
Psh
PSHHH

All about that NEET life
