ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Lockebox]

AWACS can't resupply RGMs, only Heatseekers, Joint-Strikes, Anti-Ground missiles, and unguided bombs.
iirc only kintharians have an expanded list of things comro can replicate

Ok Heatseekers then

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

Ok Heatseekers then

this will happen in the next update then, just have to wait for at least two people to post actions

[NoZoner]

Richard pushes the power lever past the afterburner wall and through the overdrive detent, locking it into place with a heavy metallic click. The fusion engines roar deafeningly, launching the Sabre forward with a burst of acceleration that kicks Richard back into his seat as he races to stay with the gunship.

Bell works on closing distance with Sabre-5 to maximize the effect of her AAMs.

The Sabres have all focused on the group heading for the nukes. As they enter gun range, they strafe Tlacelel and his guardsmen with the pulse lasers, knocking one out of the sky. Tlacelel fires a quartet of all-aspects at the defending planes but does not deviate from his course.

The AAMs accomplish nothing other than moderate damage to one plane and forcing Sabres 1 through 3 to deplete their last flares. As Tlacelel blows on through, they try to fall in behind him. Since he is locked in on his course, they only have to test their own ability to get where they need to be.

Obviously, this simple task is one easily accomplished by anyone with a decent plane and two neurons to rub together, but as they all dogpile on their target, some of them lose track of where their comrades are. Sabres 4 and 5 suffer a "minor" midair collision, one of their wings connecting with the other's fuselage.
: [Hey! Watch where you're flying, you god damn moron!]
: [I knew where I was going, you rooster! You sideswiped me!]

tl;dr your target is now an easier target.

"Gods, Gods, Gods! -forget!" Jaakko curses, seeing the fleet straight ahead.
He firewalls the throttle and the aircraft lunges forward. The airframe shudders in the wash of the Sky Marshal's aircraft. He keeps up with the Sky Marshal as best he can.

Richard pushes the power lever past the afterburner wall and through the overdrive detent, locking it into place with a heavy metallic click. The fusion engines roar deafeningly, launching the Sabre forward with a burst of acceleration that kicks Richard back into his seat as he races to stay with the gunship.

The fleet opens up on your formation with everything they have. Missile after missile comes dangerously close to your planes before being prematurely detonated by the gunship's LAMS, and you find yourselves surrounded by pulse lasers from the craft behind you and ribbons of PD fire from the ships below. Fortunately, they are not aiming for you, though that only marginally reduces the risk this area has to offer. Directly ahead you can see another pair of Rafales taking off from the carrier.

Ok Heatseekers then

You are topped off with a quartet of Heatseekers.

Finally, Coaxoch's group takes advantage of the Sabres turning their backs and attempts to take the heat off. Oddly, the Major herself seems to be refusing to engage.

: [4 and 5, since you two screwed up, why don't you take care of those tools?]

-Incoming fighters attempt to get behind Tlacelel
  -3/5 Sabres succeed
  -Two dunderforgets nearly kill each other as everyone tries to cram in

  -Tlacelel is a tremendous fire magnet
  -They spot a new pair of Rafales taking off

  -Only succeed in making them angry
  -But they've already taken their turn, so they can't do anything about it yet

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko coughs a wet cough into his radio. He is heard inhaling and swallowing forcefully the blood that is running down his throat. His nosebleed begins to seep into the g-suits neck. He pays no mind, as he is busy hurling frightful obscenities to himself in the roosterpit.

Jaakko fires an AAM at Sabre-5. This missile swings around and departs heading the other way.

jesus is jaako literally loving dying

[Operator¹]

Bell sees the Sabres from above, she dives down on Sabre-3 and fires a pair of AAMs at the fighter.

[Gojira]

"nearly dying"
"it was his fault"
tch

[NoZoner]

"[OVERSPEED! OVERSPEED]"

The Sabre rattles violently as the fusion engines push the airframe to its design limits, breezing past max speed and coming dangerously close to never exceed speed. Under threat of total disintegration, Richard reduces power and attempts to keep his flight path as straight as humanly possible in the face overwhelming fire coming from both front and behind. He expends his last AAM, firing at the tagged Sabre trailing the formation.

[Lockebox]

I guess i take a turn to catch up with the rest of the squad? Dunno how far out I am tbh

Roger fires 2 HSM's at Sabre-6

Sabre-5 avoids Crash's missile, 3 is destroyed by Shortsword's pair, 1 is damaged by Sabre's, and 6 evades Whiskey's heatseekers. 1 returns fire against Sabre with its own All-Aspects, 4 attempts to get behind Holt, 5 launches one at Rosseau, and 6 fires on Tlacelel. The man himself takes yet more fire from the surface fleet, with both LAMS finally overheating and one of the Guardsmen being taken out by stray defensive fire.

Lastly, The loyalists get to go. Tlacelel returns fire against his assailant with yet more All-Aspects, Coaxoch dives on the enemy fleet, who are entirely focused on taking down the Sky Marshal, Holt goes defensive, and Paladius attempts to avenge his comrade by firing on Sabre-5.
