ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Operator¹]

You can probably leverage Misfit's firepower once they're done with the destroyers or see if the navy has some anti-ship cruise missiles to spare.

"Look, my point is that I don't think we have enough to sink this thing, and following Talisman's logic we could expect its return- with new guns- soon after. If we kill the engine, we have time to get more allied air-power to finish it off. We could probably jam the turrets and only then focus on its mobility, though, if you insist. As for the mirror beam... why don't we shoot down the mirror?"

"loving half-meter caliber cannons aren't as easy to replace as a loving hubcap-"
Faw almost gets obliterated by a projectile.
"forget, where's our god-damn chaff cover!?"
"What I'm trying to say is, if they have to go back for repairs, we'll be ready for them. Maybe they won't shoot down our loving AWACS again!"

[Juncoph]

"Using a crane to lift and place new turrets, when it's returned to port, is a lot simpler than slowly funneling parts for a new engine room through the ship's entry ways while it's stuck out at sea, I feel."

[Operator¹]

"They'll just tow it back to port with whatever backup they get, if you don't want to see this thing again, sink it."

[ZombiLoin]

: Did you not see that mirror trick? Even if this thing is immobile, it might be able to bombard the allied fleet from where it's floating. We need to sink this thing. Dead in the water isn't good enough. Talisman has the right idea. The bow has a low concentration of AA, approaching it isn't as dangerous.

"You know what Junkers, just loving dump your missile in the bow and leave. If you want our fleet to get obliterated, that's on you, not me!"
Raw approaches from the front and fires a AGM and a JSM at the first battery.

[Qwepir]

I fire off another JSM and empty my FEAR pod, jettisoning the empty rocket pod, and breaking off.

A lot of the FEARs glance off the front armor, but the JSM hits directly, blowing a small hole into the armor just above the waterline. It won't sink the ship, but hey, proof of concept.

Bell swings back around the front again, launching another two salvos of RL-20s at the severely damaged gun batteries before shooting the bridge with her main cannon and a salvo of FEAR-12 rockets. She deploys chaff in the process, breaking off after she is satisfied with the amount of cannon rounds she put into the ship.

I approach it from the front and fire the rest of my rocket pods at the front of the bridge, specifically where there is a concentration of anti air, and fire my coaxials at the remaining turrets.

The Zentragoths see you coming and plan accordingly.
: [Intensify the forward batteries! Don't let anything through!]

The LAMS all turn forward and pour fire onto you and your ordnance. They succeed in intercepting a good portion of them and doing some serious damage to your planes, but the rest of them take out several emplacements and damage the bridge tower.

: [Get out from under that console, Lieutenant. And take down that MiG already, his chaff is ruining our aim.]

A pair of SAMs take off and give chase to Oxide.

Raw approaches from the front and fires a AGM and a JSM at the first battery.

Distracted by Shortsword and Junkers' daring frontal assault, the LAMS ignore your missiles and they finish off the forward turret.
: [Damn, we're in no condition to assist the fleet now. Helm, beach us on that island there. At the least, we'll save our keel.]

The Octarius begins steaming towards a nearby island.

you didnt include my post's actions, qwepir

whoops my bad
oh well you have 20 rockets left i guess

[Theepicman]

R.I.P AWACS

You will be missed.

[ZombiLoin]

missed me too qwep

[Qwepir]

forget stuff so much dialog hard to process it all, hold on im adding that to the last post

[ZombiLoin]

"Alright guys, if you all want to dump our last munitions into sinking the ship, I'm in. Lets do this."
Faw turns up and around to reprint himself at the front of the ship, popping chaff on the way.

[Mr. Hurricane]

I find the missiles, and their little white trails. I bring the aircraft down low, and turn 60 degrees to the headings of the missile, I am heading away from the ship.

I dump countermeasures in attempt to confuse the missiles.

[Qwepir]

I dump countermeasures in attempt to confuse the missiles.

how many, and of what variety

[Gojira]

I line up for another attack run, drop chaff and fire off the rest of my munitions at the port bow.

[Mr. Hurricane]

One of each. Cassius doesn't know what kind of missiles they are.

[Operator¹]

Bell pops chaff before flying towards the rear of the ship, firing all of her remaining RL-20s into the top of the rear deck and the LASM arrays in the back.
