Bell goes to resupply at the Huitzitlaotani AWACS:
5x HSM
3x UGB
You are resupplied.
Jaakko grinds his teeth and scans the Rafale pair for the one hauling a cruise missile.
"Sabre, Crash, Target two-three has the first nuke! Firing!" Jaakko chatters.
He fires two HSMs in succession at Rafale 23.

The MAW tone goes off. forget's sake, there's no time to deal with this stuff!
"Crash, Sabre, stay on 'em! I've got a bandit trailing me, defending!"
Richard, pops the breaks, slows down and dispenses two flare packets before using the fusion engines' thrust vectoring capabilities to perform a kulbit. Grunting like a hog and on the verge of blacking-out, he acquires his assailant in the middle of his maneuver and fires the laser cannons as the bandit crosses his sights.

Roll: 62 - successYou complete your maneuver and pop the bandit mid-loop (I really need to make a shooting/accuracy system for guns). As you come out of your kulbit, you spot the newest two contacts at gun range below you.
Meanwhile, over near Whiskey, Tourist, and Shortsword, the Sabre chasing Holt opens fire with its pulse lasers.
: Drokk! I'm hit!
: [Hang on, I'm on my way!]
Tlacelel takes more fire from the surface fleet, albeit marginally less due to Coaxoch knocking out the radar and bridge of one of the frigates and having some of the heat transferred to her. He lines up a cannon shot on Rafale-19. Coaxoch opens fire on her targeted frigate with all guns, hitting the magazine and splitting the ship in two.
Holt continues his attempt to get away from the Sabre...

Holt successfully shakes SabreAnd finally succeeds, throwing his opponent off long enough to get out of its gun sights. Paladius attempts to fire another salvo of missiles, only to realize he only had one left.

Roll granted by Supermaneuverable: 100 - critical failure!As the missile strikes the Sabre, it hampers the fusion reactor's containment enough to result in critical destabilization. In other words, the plane is engulfed in a small atomic fireball.
: [Got him!]
: [Will you watch what you're shooting? You nearly got me killed with that!]
: [But I- ...s-sorry.]
