Aero and Letterman are able to trash their incoming missiles; and Tempest, Blackeye, and Caesar form up.

The Raven dips and pulls into a wide defensive barrel roll. Lorens drops two of his own chaff packets in the maneuver.

The unannounced cut across Lorens' flight path combined with the cruiser looming less than a hundred meters overhead throws a wrench in the works of this already uncoordinated maneuver.

Maneuvering near the cruiser is very limiting - penalty of 20
Snowman's Test taken at 59
Scorch's Test taken at 57
Snowman rolls 67 - failure by one degree
Scorch rolls 89 - failure
Result: Collision!
The two airplanes graze each other, shearing off the ablative armor and even doing damage to the hull. The lightly armored Raven fares significantly worse than the massive Aesthian aircraft.

At least you're both safe from the missiles.

Friendly RGMs knock out two of the enemy planes, while one Fulcrum goes down to enemy fire. Incoming burst and anti-ship missiles are repulsed this turn.

Hetzer's squadron and Typhoon 4's squadron will be in missile range next turn. Tukreb 4's squadron will be in missile range in two turns. Strike planes now entering radar range.
Operator¹:
: Alright Gus, your group will engage the Typhoons from Hetzer's squadron, Aero and Letterman will be responsible for stalling any units that come after Snowman and Scorch.
NoZoner:
The Corsair cuts across the Raven's path of motion, seemingly from out of nowhere. Lorens tries his best to react with the fractions of a second he has, but the two airframes ultimately collide, gashing the upper fuselage panels on the Raven. The cacophony of grating and tussling of the fighter is enough to make the pilot yelp and curse.

"[loving!] SCORCH!" His accent bleeds into the syllables. Already stressed from the previous operation, it takes all of his self control to prevent himself from completely lashing out. "Ark's exhaust, don't do that again! Communicate!"

Lorens exhales. Remembering there's still a mission to complete, he does what he can to gather himself.

"I'm cuing the Nosferatu again. Slaving HARM seekers on target. Scorch, I'm going to fire everything I got. Let's make sure this guy goes down."

The compound radar seeker is displayed on the Raven's HUD, and both launch authorization lights on the canopy frame are glowing. Lorens unloads his munitions, sending a flurry of missiles to Hetzer.

"Snowman, Fox ripple on the Nosferatu!"
Gojira:
"[forget!] Ark dammit, I'm a loving moron. I'm sorry."
His aircraft shudders from the impact, slightly disorienting him. He regains his bearings and fires on the Nosferatu, saving his other HARM and firing two RGMs.
"Copy that. Fox one ripple on the Nosferatu!"
