ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Badger]

"Now's your chance Snowman!"

Walt Jettisons his Napalm onto the base then deploys 3 Chaff and goes evasive, trying to get back down into the canyon and head away so his LAMS will cover him.

"I'm afraid I can't be of much more use in this state or with my munitions. I'm disengaging, no escort required. "

[Ad Bot]

[ZombiLoin]

"Crash, I'm going to try to get those Typhoons off your tail."

Faw targets Typhoon-2 with a JSM and a HSM, and Typhoon-5 with a HSM and a RGM. He launches all 4 missiles one after another.

[Gojira]

Yui continues to wait patiently, maneuvering the Razorback through the canyon back to base.

You also manage to set up your run down the same path as Walt, but not without leaving a souvenir behind.

YOU GOTTA HOLE IN YOUR RIGHT WING

[Mr. Hurricane]

"I retract my statement, we'll likely need some help. Hard to fight out of trench,"

[Operator¹]

Ellie deploys two salvos of flares and pulls hard to evade.

[NoZoner]

"Holy stuff!"

The Warthog torques violently as the starboard wingtip clips the side of a building. It takes nothing short of a miracle for Lorens to get his aircraft flying straight again without over-correcting and crashing. Now having to correct for asymmetrical lift and drag with a less-than-fully-functioning aileron, the task of laying into the target is a little bit harder.

"... I forgeted up! I don't know if I can still land the shot!"

Lorens wrestles the stick, manages to bring the rocket piper to bear over the wound revealing the innards of the reactor and pushes the button. He quickly pulls up and away, hoping to dip back down below the rim of the plateau before something bad happens.

The Typhoon wastes no time resuming its attack, firing a pair of All-Aspects before pitching back up to regain altitude and begin another run. Your backup is currently one turn away from being able to use her missiles.

The LAMS knocks out one of the missile, and the chaff fools the second and third. You pick up two more SAMs almost immediately.

"Holy stuff!"

The Warthog torques violently as the starboard wingtip clips the side of a building. It takes nothing short of a miracle for Lorens to get his aircraft flying straight again without over-correcting and crashing. Now having to correct for asymmetrical lift and drag with a less-than-fully-functioning aileron, the task of laying into the target is a little bit harder.

"... I forgeted up! I don't know if I can still land the shot!"

Lorens wrestles the stick, manages to bring the rocket piper to bear over the wound revealing the innards of the reactor and pushes the button.

With the sheer amount of rockets flying in the general direction of the breach in the wall, enough rockets either directly hit or land close enough to the reactor to destroy it. Fortunately for the personnel within the facility, (and more importantly, you, since you're flying right at it) Imperial safety standards mean that just because a reactor has been annihilated doesn't mean everything around it is.

: I'm picking up additional comm traffic, sounds like there are more patrols converging on this location.
: Time we weren't here! Mjolnir, start making your way back to us before you get overwhelmed.

[Gojira]

Yui continues flying towards Kommandant and Eremit, and is really really glad she packed enough flares.

[Badger]

Walt deploys the remainder of his chaff and dives more to get out of range

[ZombiLoin]

Faw hits the turbocharger and closes in on Typhoon-1, firing bursts of LCP fire at the enemy aircraft.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Gods!"

Jaakko jinks with rolls and deploys two strings of flares, staying mindful of the canyon walls.

[Operator¹]

Ellie deploys another three salvo of flares and fires two AAMs at the Typhoon.

[Gojira]

Yui breathes a short sigh of relief that she wasn't hit by the cannon rounds. One would easily have killed her.

[Qwepir]

Walt deploys the remainder of his chaff and dives more to get out of range

LAMS roll for first missile: 27 - success
Roll for second missile: 5 - success
Both missiles are destroyed by the LAMS, which overheats in the process. You hold on to the chaff for later. As you drop below SAM height, Arkhip comments on what he's hearing over the enemy comms. Based on context, you can probably hazard a guess as to what he's hearing.
: Goddess... I can't listen to this, what did you do down there?

Faw hits the turbocharger and closes in on Typhoon-1, firing bursts of LCP fire at the enemy aircraft.

Roll: 45 - success by 1 degrees
Result: 1 hit on fuselage
The plane catches fire from the hit, and the enemy pilot ejects. However, by climbing up to use your guns, you are now under fire from both the SAMs on the plateau and the other planes in the air. Typhoon 5 dispatches two all-aspects to take care of you and 2 starts lining up a shot in case the wingman or SAMs fail.

"Gods!"

As are the outgoing. The Typhoon wheels around and starts taking aim with the gun again, beginning another dive.

[Operator¹]

Ellie takes full advantage of the Widow's maneuverability, pitching the plane up like in a cobra, but spinning further to line up the sights on the Typhoon. She then punches the turbo and starts shooting.
