"Steele, get on my side" I say as I change my direction towards one of the Vipers.
You are now pointed at a Viper (good job i guess?)

I launch a heat-seeker at one of the F-2s, and an MMS at another.
The first F-2 (possibly the squad leader due to the markings on the craft) dodges the missile with some impressive maneuvering. His wingman drops flares and attempts to evade, but still gets hit with two of the missiles and has to struggle to retain control over his craft.


Am I correct when I say that we can fire 6 missiles at one plane?
Yes. MRM6s always fire a full salvo of 6 missiles with each trigger pull, regardless of the number of locks. If you lock on to one dude you fire 6 missiles, if you lock on to 2 you fire 3 each, and so on.

ooo are they gonna be anywhere near us
if so yay
if not whatever
No they aren't, the mission where you two fight each other comes later.

darn ok
"Damn, missed."
I fire another missile at the plane that got hit with two missiles, and fire a cannon shot at another one.

Obrad gets into his plane, flight suit and helmet already on. He taxis out, joining Victor in the air.

I put on my flight helmet and suit, taking off. I join Victor and Obrad.

"We should be closing up on the rendezvous point soon." I check my radar and IFF, going over the instrumentation as the clouds pass by outside the canopy.

"Got it."
I test the ECM and flares.

Obrad checks all weapon systems and flares/ECM.
"Alright. Now, everyone remember. We are supporting ground forces here. Now, there should be no aerial support for them, but everyone stay on your heels."

Blah blah blah you go to the AO with nothing spectacular happening other than a few mid-flight refuels.

Your radios crackle to life as the Kintharian AWACS on site patches you through.
"Mjolnir flight this is Kami, welcome aboard. We're patching you through to Raiden wing's comms now."
A lot of foreign language bombards your channels, most likely from Raiden wing.
1-1: [1-2, pin that Sabre.]
1-2: [Understood, firing.]
1-1: [Good hit, good hit, moving in for the kill.]
1-4: [Captain?]
1-1: [Missiles away, tracking now.]
1-4: [Captain.]
1-1: [Target down, switching eng-]
1-4: [CAPTAIN.]
1-1: [What?]
1-4: [Allied reinforcements are here. And. 1-3 is not.]
1-5: [Ohhhh dear.]
1-1: [Oh god where the hell is she.]

Suddenly a jet screeches past Antokolsky's, coming incredibly close to shaving off his tailwings. IFF registers it to be friendly. Somehow.
1-3: KONICHIWAAAA!
1-1: That was entirely unnecessary. In any case, welcome aboard Mjolnir flight, glad to have you with us.
1-4: [Wait, Mjolnir?]
What follows afterwards is a rapid-fire conversation between the various elements of Raiden. You catch a couple of "baka"s and "bogey-dope"s here and there, and from their tone it is not particularly difficult to understand what they're talking about.
There's a lot of snickering until 1-1 tells them to shut up.
AWACS: Raiden, Mjolnir, 7 enemy air units inbound. Prepare for combat.
1-3 gives a really creepy giggle. This is off to a swimming start.

Targets requiring immediate attention:
4x SEPECAT Jaguars
3x Saab 37 Viggens

Other enemy forces:
A forgetton of ground stuff.

"What the hell?" I watch as an aircraft fly's past Obrad's.

NAUC [Some time prior...]

It took quite a bit of effort, but I finally managed to coax the brass into letting me fly for today's mission.

forgetforgetforgetforgetforget! My legs were burning as I sprinted to the hangars. Just beyond the doorway I could see the 4000, fully loaded and ready to fly. I jump right into the roosterpit, not even bothering to inspect the hardpoints. I flew through the checklist as quickly as humanly possible and contacted the tower.

"Tower, Mjolnir 1-4 requesting taxi to active runway!"

"Mjolnir 1-4, you are- Cowboy? What the forget? You're not authorized to fly today, get some loving rest!"

"Jesus Christ, cut me some slack! I convinced top brass to put me in the sortie, just let me up already!"

I could hear some chatter in the background as the ATC were presumably discussing what to do. After about a minute, another voice comes up on the radio.

"Mjolnir 1-4, you're cleared to taxi to runway 27 via taxiway D B, hold short and contact tower when ready. You better thank me for this."

"You're a loving lifesaver, man. Mjolnir 1-4, taxiing to runway 27 via taxiway D B."

I'm up in the air before I know it, albeit about two hundred miles behind the main flight.

This probably isn't a good idea.



thanks for that

NAUC

"Goddammit, Crux." I mutter off-radio.  "This is Mjolnir 1-2, I'm engaging the enemy, Lefty, follow my lead." I lock two heatseekers onto two of the Jaguars before firing them off and climbing above the cloud canopy at high speed.



Weather conditions?

edit: Nozoner, check the updated pilot roster, you're Mjolnir 1-4.

People who are on a Huitz mission put a bold, red H before their posts.

People who are on a NAUC mission put a bold, blue NAUC before their posts.

this will make it less confusing

Aesthia
