"[Whoa, stuff!]"
I pop flares, and double back. I try to get on Tukreb-4's tail.
Considering it's still flying towards you, you can't exactly get behind it yet, nor would doubling back assist you in that regard.
It launches another HSM at you and then breaks away, basically daring you to come after it.
Tippy drops flares and returns the favor with a counter HSM and AC5 fire trying to take care to not get shot in the face by a PPC or LCP.
Tukreb-3 drops flares and turns away, ending up perpendicular to you.
Tukreb-2 is currently staying at a distance, not following up on either of you.
I correct my flight and head After the turkebs, looking to get on one of their flanks.
The other group of planes are currently focusing on strafing the cruiser with their coaxials, with the exception of Tukreb-5, which is not engaginng and simply watching over its allies.
I close on the bandit on Tippy's tail quickly. At this speed there's no way to turn fight. I take a shot with a JSM and quickly follow up with a shot from the P3. I turn off and pull up to regain altitude.
(The bandit was flying head-on)
You are able to get the JSM off just before Tukreb-3 drops flares, and, still being at a considerable distance, the plasma shot goes wide.
Tukreb-2 starts flying towards you, attempting to follow you higher up and launching an AAM.
"I'm starting to wish I brought some anti-aircraft armament."

: Yeah, so are we.

: Better start dropping those bombs of yours then. If the Imps see
you causing trouble down below, that might take the pressure off of
us.

: But what would she even target?

: I don't give a stuff! It could be a gas station, car dealership, or a goddamn department store for all I care, just do
something to make yourself useful!
