hsms have an okay range
nothing like rgms but hey
that's what i was going for

a dumbly fired missile just put out there to get them distracted towards me instead of my comrades

: [Incoming missile, Aesthian plane spotted at 8 o' clock. Transports, go to combat alert status, there may be more of them waiting.]
: [I see him. Moving to engage.]

The transports' escorts break off and head straight for Lefty (and by extension, Sabre, even though they haven't spotted him yet) while Shortsword, Tippy, Hawkeye, and Walt skirt around the enemy AWACS' detection radius to prepare for an attack on the dirigibles.

I do some evasive maneuvers to see if I can get a few off of my tail.

I go straight after the enemy lead, aggressively turning into his plane of motion and opening up with an AAM.

Considering none of them are actually on your tail yet, this doesn't do anything. Two of the Drakens fire heatseekers at you.

I go straight after the enemy lead, aggressively turning into their plane of motion and opening up with an AAM.
: [What the- forget.]

The leader drops flares and turns hard, firing an AAM at you that goes wide.
: [Will you idiots make yourselves useful and get this sneaky prick off me?]
: [Yes sir.]

As their leader attempts to shake you off, Draken 1 and 2 attempt to fall in behind you. They have considerable difficulty keeping up with your plane; one of them fires a burst of gunfire that misses by a mile, and the other sits a bit farther back and attempts to obtain a lock.

The fighter escort is now a considerable distance from their objectives. As soon as Kibble gives the order, the attack on the transports can start, or she can wait a little longer for the diversion team to drag the escort farther away.

"Alright, let's move in!"

Bell charges in at full throttle and slows down once she is within firing range, firing a few salvos of rockets to knock out the defenses on top of the lead transport. (SAMs first, PD second)

"Copy!"
I lock on to the four turrets on the bottom of the air cruiser, and fire off my four AGMs, hoping to make a big hole so we can shoot munitions through it.

I pop flares and double back, trying to lock onto one of the aircraft.

"Going in!" I fire off one AGM at the middle turret(?) of the cruiser while also giving off some shots from my cannon

Tippy guns it towards the cruiser nearest to her and unleashes her rocket pods on the engines

Alright, I got the jump on the forgeter! I line up a shot on the enemy lead through the gun funnel and depress the trigger.



you forgot an aam

Your rocket barrage damages the SAM turret and cripples the gun-based PD.

"Copy!"
I lock on to the four turrets on the bottom of the air cruiser, and fire off my four AGMs, hoping to make a big hole so we can shoot munitions through it.
Two of your AGMs are stopped in their tracks by the LAMS mounted on the lower turrets, one of them smacks into an engine, and the third hits a turret.

I pop flares and double back, trying to lock onto one of the aircraft.
You lose the missiles, and lock on to Draken-5.

"Going in!" I fire off one AGM at the middle turret(?) of the cruiser while also giving off some shots from my cannon
The AGM is shot down by the remaining PD turret topside, but the flak hits the heavy SAM turret, for what it's worth.

Tippy guns it towards the cruiser nearest to her and unleashes her rocket pods on the engines
The magnetic fields surrounding the engines wreak havoc on the small, unguided munitions' flight paths, but several of them get lucky and hit what they were aiming for.

I line up a shot on the enemy lead through the gun funnel and depress the trigger.
He takes a considerable amount of damage before breaking free from the gunsight and launching a pair of AAMs back at you. Draken-1 steps up its aim game and lands a glancing hit with its gun, and Draken-2 acquires its lock, sending a heatseeker your way.

The heavy SAM turret wheels around to face the incoming planes and fires off a trio of missiles, one each for Shortsword, Walt, and Hawkeye.
: [Attention! The convoy is under attack!]
: [What?! Where did they come from? Three and Four, go protect the transports!]
: [Right away, sir!]

Drakens 3 and 4 abandon their pursuit of Lefty and begin flying back to the convoy.

Bell deploys chaff and fires off another barrage of rockets to finish off the SAM and the remaining turret on top of the transport.

"forget!"
I drop chaff and turn hard to avoid getting hit.

I fire two HSM's at the Draken.
