Ugh just
forget it, I am not making a full city map to divide up into a small portion, I'm just going to do a bare minimum detail one. Blue is the area in which the tankers are stranded, black divider is the river, dark green is forest/low density development, dark grey is densely developed cityscape, light gray is a highway. Red are the three cruisers, from left to right 1, 2, and 3; and the little red lines are their current heading.
Walt; annoyed, clicks his tounge and deploys two chaff then pulls up to fire the KSM at the top missile turret.
Shiva Base EV 58
No piloting bonuses or penalties
SAM x2 provides penalty of 50
Chaff x2 provides bonus of 80
Test taken at 88
Rolled 54 - success
Test passedYou dodge the incoming missiles, but the evasive maneuver throws off your aim and you miss the turret. You will pass the cruiser at the end of next turn, meaning you can still attempt another shot. However, past experiences/knowledge gleamed from teammates over the years/your own research reminds you that said top-mounted turret carries a nigh-bottomless magazine of missiles, and engaging it at point blank range may not give you time to evade if it fires again. Then again, you
are in a Shiva.
Note: A point-blank SAM shot will be resolved on the same turn it was fired. You will take an automatic evasion test without use of countermeasures to see if the attack hits.I drop 2 chaff and try to fire my MMS at the turret slapped on top of the cruiser.
Rafale Base EV 76
No piloting bonuses or penalties
SAM x2 provides penalty of 50
Chaff x2 provides bonus of 80
Test taken at 106
Rolled 31 - success
Test passedThe incoming missiles take the bait and you return fire with a handful of your own, three of them making it through the defensive PD screen to hit the target. The turret remains active, and will likely fire again next turn, putting you much in the same situation as Walt. You can keep flying towards it to continue your attack or break off and come back for it later, but be aware that you are
not in a Shiva.
Gus unlocks the throttle and rockets back towards the battlefield.
You are back in the fight, in missile range of all three cruisers.
I head back to the battlefield and try to line up a shot on the guns on cruiser 2.
You are lined up, but too far out to use your guns at the moment.
"Roger that. Drone: resupply, 4 JSM."
Richard pushes forward on the stick and descends back to rooftop height. He starts moving towards the second cruiser and readies a JSM.
:
AFFIRMATIVE.Your drone disengages and heads to the AWACS to resupply. You are in missile range of the cruiser, but should probably specify what you're trying to hit.
Tippy takes a UAC shot at one of the AA on cruiser 2
Yah the anti aircraft vehicles
You waste one of the AAA tanks, but get lit up by the other two.
