Ellie banks the Widow back towards VTOL-3 and fires two HSMs at the aircraft.

One of the missiles is spoofed, but the other hits it in one of the oversized engines. With one engine out, the craft begins a spiraling descent, with the occupants bailing out before it scatters itself across the canyon floor.
: Heh, guess that makes two I owe you.

Pansar makes his attack on the other dock, bringing it down.
: Bwahahah! This isn't even fair!
: Oh, I'm sure those fighters would like to try to even the odds. Orders, sir?
: Pansar, Frisk, cover Hawkeye while she disengages. If those Typhoons get on her, she'll be a sitting duck.

Yui drops flares and evades, then jettisons whatever weapons she has left.

Jaakko dips back below the canyon rim, and fires and HSM and cannon shot at VTOL 2.

Walt Slows down to convert his flight mode into VTOL and fires at the SAM on the hill

Roll: 100 - critical failure!
Reroll granted by duplicate weapon: 32 - success
Result: One gun jams, other gun hits target
With a mighty clunk, the starboard gun goes and forgets itself, leaving the other gun to finish the job.

The A-10 continues skirting the plateau all the way to site Beta. The stony wall breezing past Lorens' canopy eventually gives way to the next two repair docks, as well as their supports, which extend diagonally from the plateau wall. He quickly makes the decision to attack them.

"Snowman, approaching beta from the south, rockets on the dock supports!"

A flurry of rockets is sent arcing through the sky, lofted onto ballistic trajectories with a steady hand. Lorens holds down the weapons release button for the first 20.

Most of the rockets either hit the supports directly or blast apart the rock they're anchored to. Regardless of the cause, one support after another fails, until the remaining load is too much to bear and the whole dock comes down.

The Typhoons continue their flight towards the plateau and will be in missile range in 2 turns.

included quotes to make it look nicer and make more sense
Yui disengages and heads back to base.

[NoZoner]

i held my silence the last time badger got a crit fail, but seeing it happen a second time on back-to-back missions, i have to say that a 1% failure rate for any gun is pretty bad


Lorens descends back down alongside the plateau wall and unleashes another rocket barrage on the last dock's supports. He climbs back up above the structure.

"Crash, Snowman, requesting permission to attack the reactor!"

[Gojira]

well i mean for badger it's a 50% fail rate for the past two missions

[CypherX]

on any other gun I'd probably agree but he's using dual quick firing antitank cannons mounted on a plane, despite bad luck a 1% is pretty reasonable considering

[Qwepir]

In only war (which is what ive based the skill checks on), most guns have a 5% jam rate, with automatic weapons being even more likely. I figured this was too extreme, so I lowered it to 1%. Badger just got shafted. I suppose I could make a table as to what happens when you crit fail your shooting, but i cant imagine a crit table for weapon jams being remotely as interesting as the ones about damage.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Negative, the repair gantries are priority,"

[Badger]

I mean I'll accept it because that gun took a bit of damage

[Operator¹]

"Negative, the repair gantries are priority,"

Because the ordinance on the Shikra isn't enough.


"Mjolnir lead, what do we do about the Typhoons? We'll be in for it if something isn't done about them."

Ellie moves to intercept them within the constraints of the canyon.

[Badger]

"Negative, the repair gantries are priority,"

Walt gives a sour and highly annoyed look at the indicator for his gun

"There is only one here, were almost done with it. I'm moving on the reactor in low soon to attract flak for snowman."
 
Walt checks on the position of the typhoons

"The typhoons won't be bugging us who want to go after the reactor at the risk of them getting hit by their own AA and vice versa"

[Gojira]

Yui feels the uneven thrust between the damaged and less-damaged engines, and adjusts the throttle levers to compensate. The wind in the roosterpit isn't exactly helping her feel calm.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"There is still a gantry standing. We can attack the reactor after it falls, but I stress that we work quickly. We can handle the fighters but we can't engage them above the canyon rim,"

[Qwepir]

Lorens descends back down alongside the plateau wall and unleashes another rocket barrage on the last dock's supports. He climbs back up above the structure.

The dock comes down, but as you rise above the building you hear the SAM lock-on tone coming from the last AA site. You should be able to lose it if you begin your attack immediately, otherwise you'll have to deploy chaff.

"Mjolnir lead, what do we do about the Typhoons? We'll be in for it if something isn't done about them."
Ellie moves to intercept them within the constraints of the canyon.

Unless I am mistaken, this means you are now charging five enemy fighters possessing significant altitude advantage all by yourself.

Yui feels the uneven thrust between the damaged and less-damaged engines, and adjusts the throttle levers to compensate. The wind in the roosterpit isn't exactly helping her feel calm.

Frisk pulls up alongside you, with Pansar hanging back to cover your rear.
: Oh jeez, that looks bad.
: What looks bad?
: Her canopy's completely smashed. Hey, Hawkeye! You alright in there? Can you even hear us?

Walt checks on the position of the typhoons

The Typhoons are one turn from missile range.
: Crash, those fighters are almost on top of you. Can you manage that on your own or do we need to step in?

[Badger]

Walt descends to building level and enters the central complex slowly speeding up from VTOL

"Preparing to attack the reactor, Snowman when you are finished up over there see if you can follow in behind me."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Believe we can handle them, for the most part. Glad, SkyGuy, let's get on it. Strike group, are you familiar with toss bombing?"

Jaakko fires two AAMs up towards Typhoon 1. The missiles climb out of the canyon.
