ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Qwepir]

Everyone gets suited up and flies out. You meet up with the Air cruiser on the edge of Malantan Airspace.
(Tell me if I got your loadouts wrong)

: Looks like our escort's showing up. Check out that insignia on the tailfins, is that The 514th?
: Hey, it's Mjolnir! I heard what you guys did to that fleet. Hope you guys still love to be thorough, we're about to be entering what you'd call a "target-rich environment".

People are actually glad to see us hooray

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Let's do this stuff. Is our air control and COMRO support with us?"

[Qwepir]

"Let's do this stuff. Is our air control and COMRO support with us?"

: Right here, Mjolnir. And it looks like we've got company, there's a flight of RAF interceptors heading out to meet us.
: Wow, look at those things. They're antiques!
: Not that I'm worried or anything, but could you guys go take them out?

[ZombiLoin]

hey yo man... don't diss the tomcat

[Mr. Hurricane]

"What a shame a shoot down such relics. Mjolnir Crash engaging," I say.

I pull back on the throttle to accelerate and close distance.

"Should'a brought a couple of RGM's," I lament.

[blockguy™]

I try and go in for Tomcat-2.

[Qwepir]

: [To any allied units, this is RAF Squadron 87 reporting contact with Aesthian aircraft; seven planes and one airborne monstrosity headed for Akron Airbase. We're outnumbered and horribly outgunned, get every plane you can up here!]
: [We read you 87, relaying your report to Akron now. I'll notify our "esteemed guests," too, see if they can set up some AA.]
: [Right, men. Pick a target and open fire! We have to stall these lot until a force can be mustered to repel them!]

The Tomcats open fire on your squadron with their RGMs.

hey it's the palette swap guys
"[Oh, stuff.]"
I begin to climb to get out of the radar circle.
I drop chaff and try to lock on to Tomcat-2.


edit: flare=/=chaff

[Operator¹]

Bell uses the turbochargers to move out of the radar cone and get some altitude.

[Gojira]

"Ugh."
I drop chaff and turn hard to get out of the radar circle.

[ZombiLoin]

"Can't help but pity them, huh."
Faw pops chaff and opens up on a plane with a LCP.

[blockguy™]

"Their planes are ancient."

[Mr. Hurricane]

I drop chaff and fire an HSM at Tomcat 5.

[Operator¹]

look i don't want to slam you guys but the F-14's performance is good enough to compete with the T1 and the T2 fighters
plus the tornado was introduced 5 years after the F-14 so the tomcat isn't 'relic' tier

I drop chaff and fire an HSM at Tomcat 5.

yeah i doubt that we're in range to fire seekers
