I launch an HSM at Phantom-1, while also peppering him with AC5 fire.
Faw launches an MMS and a HSM at Phantom 1
The lead plane drops what must have been all its flares to avoid the incoming munitions, and it still isn't enough to stop the entire salvo. It goes back down and crashes at the end of the runway.
and a RGM and a HSM at Phantom 2.
The other plane drops a package of chaff and flares and guns straight for you, RAC blazing, seemingly fully intent on ramming you.
Your ARTEMIS system also stuffs the bed and crashes in response to the varied input, having never been designed to coordinate so many different munition types.
Tippy drops chaff and circles around. Coming in from up high she drops one of her cluster bombs over the weakened AA emplacement.
Your bomb flattens what's left of the AA group.
I dive down and start bombarding AA emplacement 3 with rockets and GAU-8 fire.
You knock out three vehicles with your barrage, but pick up a SAM as you fly away from them.
On approach to the airfield I fire a JSM at one of the AA emplacements. I prepare a gun solution on one of the phantoms.
The JSM finishes off one of the AA trucks left standing after Shortsword's barrage, and you find yourself with a gun solution on Phantom-3. It's currently running down the runway ahead of Phantom-4.
: AWACS, you see that line of military trucks to our north? They're on the highway, headed into town. What's the status on those, can our gunners take the shot?
: Affirmative, Marauder, targets are valid.
: You heard the man, fire at will!
Though you may not have seen the trucks being referred to, you definitely see the result of the fire mission. The air cruiser's barrage of howitzer fire annihilates the military convoy and brings down the overpass they were driving on.
: Nice. Probably a good thing we got them there, before they got into town.
: Meh. So what if they did? It's not our fault if the fascists drive their weapons past a kitten orphanage or some stuff.
