ABS FIESTA REDUX

"AWACS, could I get as many AGMs as I can fit on this thing? Thanks!"

Not having memorized your plane's statistics, they just play it safe and give you six.

spotting the grouped up vehicles on the deck of the transport I decide to approach at a low angle to try and avoid the PD turrets while I fire off two AGMs into the deck space

You take out a SPAAG and an MBT. One of the other SPAAGs and the PD guns open fire but you're too far out to be hit very much.

I push the power lever balls-to-the-wall and give chase to the fleeing Draken, afterburners alight.

You close the distance and find yourself in missile range rather quickly.

I level out, decrease altitude, and go in for the last fighter.

"Oh yeah, look out for the Huit AWACS, it has a laser that cooked the last captain and made Guerra lose his cool."

Jaakko finishes an AR-assisted test flight, and submits his reports of the aircrafts performance to the CO, at the vary least for publication to the rest of the squadron.

"9/10 its ok no cupholder though"

"Copy, thanks for the tip."
From long range, I fire off an AGM at the last self-propelled anti-aircraft gun on the air cruiser, then fire one at the damaged engine on the cargo Titan.

Bell flies in from low altitude (after the earlier dive) launches the remaining rockets in her half-empty pods at the point-defense systems on the armed transport, deploying chaff to confuse the point-defense radar and breaking off to gain altitude.

You are now tailing Draken-1.

"Oh yeah, look out for the Huit AWACS, it has a laser that cooked the last captain and made Guerra lose his cool."

The AWACS is currently way above the battle and does not seem keen on engaging at the moment, but still, sound advice.

From long range, your AGMs are unable to obtain a lock, forcing you to get closer before firing. Your first missile finishes off the disabled SPAAG, but your second misses the engine, instead clobbering a chunk of armor that was in the way.

The last manned SPAAG notices you too late, and is unable to prevent the barrage of rockets from reaching their target.

I was shooting the bottom of the transport with the big guns

oh wow it's called a cruiser sorry I need to read

[Qwepir]

so should i undo it or do you not mind the outcome staying
i mean someone had to knock those things out eventually

[Gojira]

I fire a missile at the chunk of armor I hit, trying to punch a hole in it, and trying to keep a safe distance.

yeah i'll keep it

[blockguy™]

I lock on to the Draken-1, and launch an HSM at him. I also start shooting my AC5 at him.

[Tayasaurus]

I go after the engines again with an AGM and more AC5 fire

You punch a hole into it, and through the hole you can see the cargo deck. Good job.

I lock on to the Draken-1, and launch an HSM at him. I also start shooting my AC5 at him.

The HSM blows him apart, negating any need to use the AC5.

I go after the engines again with an AGM and more AC5 fire

The AGM punches through a spot in the armor blown open by your rockets, and sets off a bunch of secondaries that blow out all the levitation panels on that engine. The craft lurches to one side before compensating for the loss of one engine. It is also now at a low enough altitude that attacking the bottom is going to be difficult at best and dangerous at worst, and attacking the top means exposing yourself to the cruiser's underbelly guns.

Draken-4 finally crashes after having its engine knocked out. The AWACS, seeing this, begins diving towards the convoy.
