Markus starts strafing the hangars, lining up each one individually and blind-firing an HSM at one of them after lining up.

Then he wonders why he brought flak.
The HSM, meant for killing planes and not leveling buildings, doesn't do a lot more than punch a hole in the roof.

"So be it, Watch your strafing runs on the base and take note of my position."
Walt heads into the base and slows down to a stationary position, converting to vertical flight.
"I've been waiting to use these guns properly"
Walt scans over the base from his position and slowly orients his aircraft towards the Control tower.
The control tower, for obvious reasons, does not make any movement to evade or disengage.

The AWACs' last statememt reminds Gus of the mission they took before the air base.

He hopes with all his soul that Shikra has only conventional ordnance.
It appears your prayers have been answered, because the Shikra opens fire on the building with a pair of AGMs and a salvo of heavy rockets, resulting in sporadic but serious damage to floors 97-105. On a more unambiguously bright side, it has slowed down to do so, and you will catch up to missile range in 2 turns.
: That's it, he's cut speed! Now's your chance, floor it!


If the PAK FA wasn't already moving at its absolute top speed it certainly is now. He trims ailerons and flaps and noses down, fighting for every morsel of speed he can buy.

Tippy maneuvers to position to blow up the base barracks down below and drops the WHOOOLLE payload of clusterforget

Walt approaches closer begins to fire his U10 on the Control tower, soon dragging it down along and into other buildings.

Markus tries to lock on to the heat signature of the engines of the fighters on the runway - or those that are left.

said fighters were reduced to smoldering wrecks several turns ago by nozoner's character

gus's turn music
The Shikra fires on the building with its functional guns and another salvo of rockets, breaking off to avoid hitting it. The plane slows down and starts coming around for another pass on the other side, slowing it even further. You will be in missile range next turn.

She smiles smugly as she feels her aircraft get lighter.
The barracks building is engulfed in a thousand miniature explosions as the submunitions reach the ground. So much dust is kicked up, that it's impossible to see the results of your handiwork right away.

The volley of UAC shots pounds away at the neck of the control tower until it can no longer support the weight above it and collapses on itself.


Ellie comes up on the flaming wreck of Shikra-2.

"Gus, I'm on my way but there's quite a lot of distance to make up before I reach your position." (two turns according to qwep because talgo is for comr4de only)

(two turns according to talgo)
only comr4de has that privilege

"I've got this bastard," Gus says through a clenched jaw. His eyes narrow as the crosshair closes in on the Shikra's profile.


Walt turns to the Headquarters and blindfires four AAM's along with more U10 along the length of the buildings

"Aw."
Markus turns around and switches to thermal in order to see through the dust.

"I've got this bastard," Gus says through a clenched jaw. His eyes narrow as the crosshair closes in on the Shikra's profile.
You are now in range. It finishes its turn and takes aim to fire on the other side of the building.
