ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Wait, did you say Helian? What the forget did we do to Helios?"

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

: Helios has been providing war materiel to the Imperium since the outbreak of hostilities. This is nothing new.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"I'd say there is a difference between war material and military assets," I retort.

I roll the aircraft and break.

"Oxide engaging, I'll assist the right flank,"

[Qwepir]

"I'd say there is a difference between war material and military assets," I retort.

: Where have you been? Helian infantry is materiel.

"Oxide engaging, I'll assist the right flank,"

A cursory inspection shows an uncountable number of IFVs and MBTs firing on allied positions. It's even more difficult to tell which ones are still operational.

"You guys take care of the tanks, I'll hit their infantry."
She breaks off from the formation, turning on her thermal sights.

You notice that there are a lot fewer warm bodies than there are muzzle flashes among the enemy ranks.

: Get a damn move on, flyboys! It's D-E-forgetin'-O down here, give us everything you got!

[blockguy™]

"Err.. Lefty, you make sure that enemy aircraft don't get on our tail."

"Hey, why don't you piss off. I'd carry some stuff if my aircraft had the capacity to carry some stuff."
I break off.
"I'll hit the left flank."

[Operator¹]

Bell begins the engagement by hitting the right flank with four salvos of RL-20 rockets (that's a whole pod's worth) and an extended burst of AC-5 cannon fire. She climbs after that strafing run and does an extended turn away from the enemy forces so that she'll be able to circle around.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Paint some targets! I'll fire everything I've got!" I radio.


Can the Artemis target multiple ground vehicles?

[Operator¹]

Can the Artemis target multiple ground vehicles?

yes

Allows simultaneously firing your missiles at up to 4 separate targets. Works with all types of missile, including MMS.

[blockguy™]

I flip on my thermal. I start shooting my UAC at the left flank. I turn back around, and go in for another run.

[Lockebox]

I'm coming in from up high and making out eligible targets. My breathing resonates loudly in my helmet.

I activate the CBB-20 and let it drop.

[NoZoner]

"Sabre, coming in hot!"

I bring up the TGP display on my MFD, enable the Artemis module and target a row of IFVs encroaching on the friendly position. With the press of a button, the weapons bay opens up, and 4 JSMs fly off their respective pylons and race towards the hostiles.

[Tayasaurus]

I fly in from an angle and fire at a tank with one of my AGMs

[Qwepir]

updates are taking long enough already, theres no way i'm going to actually calculate how many infantry are getting blown to smithereens

Bell begins the engagement by hitting the right flank with four salvos of RL-20 rockets (that's a whole pod's worth) and an extended burst of AC-5 cannon fire. She climbs after that strafing run and does an extended turn away from the enemy forces so that she'll be able to circle around.

As you dive in towards the enemy infantry groups, you find yourself peppered with miniature flak fire. Nothing too severe, but they land one good hit.

"Paint some targets! I'll fire everything I've got!" I radio.

Several specific enemy vehicles are lit up for you to target.

3x Imperial IFV
2x Imperial MBT
1x Helian Grav-Tank

I flip on my thermal. I start shooting my UAC at the left flank. I turn back around, and go in for another run.

You can't quite tell how effective the strafing run was, but you recieve a stress damage warning from firing the cannon.

I'm coming in from up high and making out eligible targets. My breathing resonates loudly in my helmet.

I activate the CBB-20 and let it drop.

The bomb explodes several dozen meters above the ground, raining explosive bomblets on the infantry position below.

"Sabre, coming in hot!"

I bring up the TGP display on my MFD, enable Artemis and target a row of IFVs encroaching on the friendly position. With the press of a button, the weapons bay opens up and 4 JSMs fly off their respective pylons and race towards the hostiles.

Two of the carriers are hit directly and disabled, one of them swerves and gets its two front left wheels blown off, and the third one's magazine goes up, blowing the turret off entirely.

I fly in from an angle and fire at a tank with one of my AGMs

You see the missile strike the tank, engulfing it in a fiery explosion. Then your plane warns you of an incoming lock and out of the explosion, two smaller missiles begin streaking towards you.

"Hey, why don't you piss off. I'd carry some stuff if my aircraft had the capacity to carry some stuff."

that's no way to talk to your squad leader

[Tayasaurus]

"Aw motherforgeter"

I fire my AC5 and pull a hard left in an attempt to evade

[Operator¹]

"You're not getting out of that one in a Jaguar, deploy countermeasures."
