"Thanks guys!"
I engage the Tukreb following Shortsword, trying to keep up with it.
You catch up to it, but it immediately outmaneuvers you as it continues to tail Shortsword.
I shoot off an AAM after T-1 along with short concentrated bursts of LCP.
The AAM goes wide, but you land a few hits with the LCP.
Faw presses down on the turbochargers as he zooms to within a short distance before the AAM missiles impact. He cuts the turbo chargers and kicks his nose up to a steep angle to slow himself down to nearly a third of his original speed, while simultaneously popping both flares and chaff. Hopefully he remains on the tail of the Tukreb.
Gladiator's hesitation, or attempt at being clever, or... attempt at drama(?) results in the flares coming too late to stop both missiles. The second missile slams into your underside as you pull the nose up. Making matters worse, the force of the explosion throws you off your chase.
I enter a shallow dive, and engage the afterburners. I start evasive maneuvers and drop countermeasures and fire an AAM back at the Tukreb.
"Gods be damned, go the forget away!" I yell at the Tukreb behind me.
I've had just about enough of all the getting in my loving way all the time, and the messing with my targets.
The AAM swings around and hits the Tukreb head-on, blowing the roosterpit apart. Gladiator is fortunate to not have suffered the same fate.
