The trail of gunfire runs right down the middle of the Fenrir, culminating in an engine explosion that knocks the plane out of the sky.

: That's the last of the ghosts, you have a clear shot the rest of the way to the bombers!

Now entering radar range of Aesthian airships.



Coming out of the evasive maneuver, Scorch notes, with some concern, that his airframe has decided to fall apart around him, and that his roosterpit is looking awfully... hole-y. Somehow, he himself is unharmed.

"[forget, forget, forget!]"

Markus drops a string of chaff to prevent locks and continues onward. moving to intercept the Foxbats.
This happens.

Ajka curses under her breath.

"We just lost another pilot to those MiGs out there. If we both attack them at the same time we could annihilate them quickly and fend off any of their fliers who come to assist. How far out are they?"
: About 20 klicks out- we'll be on them any minute.
: Assuming they don't try to run.


Skytracer deploys a chaff packet to prevent a lock.

"Kobalt, move to attack the Erovring. Keep your distance, attack from behind and from the outside of the cruiser formation, do not bunch up unless you want to get plugged by the LBX,"

Walt stays on course towards the bombers, waiting to enter gun range.

Markus flies into Skytracer's chaff cloud to avoid any locks.

Lorens pulls the wings back in to full sweep and slams the power lever. He regroups on the flight and continues flying towards the cruisers.

Kobalt begins catching up with the Drone wing that was sent in advance of them, which is currently taking most of the AA fire. Two drones are lost to SAMs.

Airships in missile range next turn.

Almost all of the Foxbats break off in pairs and start turning tail. No. 7 and 8 stay the course, the former firing a missile at Ajka.

Missile Range next turn.

Ajka pops her last two chaff and undergoes evasive manouvers, before starting to line up a shot on Oxcart-7.

Markus pulls up near-vertically and punches the afterburners to get out of the lock circle, then levels out.

Bell starts aiming the KSM at the starboard engine block of Erovring.

: Snowman, I'm popping chaff.

She deploys a chaff packet for Snowman to take advantage of at his earliest convenience.



Skytracer lines up a shot on Oxcart-8.

"I see the chaff, I'm weaving in on you now," Lorens swerves the Tornado into the chaff cloud and dispenses another packet of his own before jinking to defend the SAM.

Jaakko evades and lays two strings of chaff.

Bell starts aiming the KSM at the starboard engine block of Erovring.
"Snowman, I'm popping chaff."

: [Enemy missile took the bait.]

Skytracer lines up a shot on Oxcart-8.
The Foxbat drops a missile and begins turning around to join the rest of its unit in retreat. Hardly a maneuverable plane, it only succeeds in presenting the largest possible target profile to you.

Markus pulls up near-vertically and punches the afterburners to get out of the lock circle, then levels out.
Oxcart-8 releases an active-radar missile, and you have just separated yourself from your teammates.

Now at missile range of the Foxbats, but most of them have turned around and are accelerating in the opposite direction. You are currently gaining on them, as they had slowed down to give themselves the longest time at-range, but it is only a matter of time before they can get up to speed and leave you behind.

Ajka fires her guns at Oxcart-7, and then launches 4 of her AAMs at Oxcart-6.

"Heading towards Valnad," Walt states before adjusting his course accordingly. He continues to wait for gun range.
