Faw directs his attention towards the retreating Tukreb and opens up with a burst of flak fire. He also pops two chaff as he zooms towards the destroyer.

Looking at her radar screen, Ellie sees the blip representing the Lightning heading right towards the two destroyers and their escorts.

"Captain? You can't be serious about going in there alone." She laments.

"Destroyers still have Typhoon escort- and spread the forget out! Don't get hit with shot shells from the main guns! Do you want to be a pencil pusher for the rest of your careers?!" Jaakko orders.

He begins a steep climb to exit the main gun's gimbal range and rolls over to keep view of the destroyers in the distance. He takes no offensive action so as to conserve his last remaining AAMs. Jaakko cloaks as he climbs.

Walt turns to the Turkeb and fires his PPC again along with two HSM

Looking at her radar screen, Ellie sees the blip representing the Lightning heading right towards the two destroyers and their escorts.

"Captain? You can't be serious about going in there alone." She laments.
"Negative. I'm trying to finish the Tukreb off. If I miss my shot I'm falling back."

"Do you want to be a pencil pusher for the rest of your careers?!" Jaakko orders.

Mission Theme

"AWACs, I need two HSMs and four AAMs."
Gus breaks off from the fight to resupply.
You are 2 turns out from rendezvous.

Ellie deploys two packets of chaff and dives down to lower altitude to evade and hopefully later pull out of SAM range.
"This is not good, I couldn't see the barrels of those main batteries, they must be gunning for the strike package."
She checks her display and sees that Gladiator and Walt also have missiles on them.
"Damn it, I'm activating the G-Scram now, we went in too early."

Result: Miss

You are hit by one of the SAMs the GSCRAM failed to cover, and a near miss from the destroyer's PPC sends a buzzing sensation through your entire body (and prevents missile locks for the next turn). The two Typhoons begin moving to intercept you.

The Flak shell misses by a wide margin, but the Destroyer's particle projection cannon does not. Needless to say, you are subject to the same punishment as being narrowly missed.

You finish the Tukreb off with your PPC.

Strike planes are now in missile range.

Walt turns to the escorts and fires two HSM each while speeding up from VTOL

"Moving back to AWACS soon for resupply"

"I've been hit and my targeting system is down now. I'll leave the escorts to you guys."
Ellie switches the burners on to get clear of the Typhoons.

Gus observes the canyon closely as he flies back for resupply.

"Pansar, Frisk, this is Snowman, I'm gonna separate and start my attack run."

The A-10 breaks off from Djuriskas flight and starts flying parallel to the Tenax. Lorens turns on the targeting pod and picks out the nearest point defense emplacement guarding the ship's middle main gun. He turns into the destroyer and slaves the strike missile seekers to the TGP's line of sight.

"Strike missiles on the Tenax!" Two JSMs fly off their pylons and race towards the target.

Lorens continues on a winding path towards the ship and starts charging the Gauss cannon's capacitors. The coil whine pierces the relative quiet of the dampened roosterpit.

Tippy harasses T5 with 2 hsms

Jaakko starts hauling ass towards the two fighters defending the destroyers.

"Stay clear of the destroyers' turrets," he parrots.

The two Typhoons maneuver themselves to place the Pertinax between them and the missiles.
LAMS Emplacement 1 rolls to intercept missiles:
HSM 1: 6 - success
HSM 2: 34 - failure

LAMS Emplacement 2 rolls to intercept missiles:

HSM 3: 22 - success
HSM 4: 1 - success

LAMS Emplacement 4 rolls to intercept missiles:
HSM 5: 74 - success
HSM 6: 25 - success

The four port LAMS emplacements make impressive work against the incoming heatseekers, and the Typhoons return fire against you both with their all-aspects. The destroyer throws some SAMs into the mix too, for good measure.

"I've been hit and my targeting system is down now. I'll leave the escorts to you guys."
Ellie switches the burners on to get clear of the Typhoons.
The Typhoons are distracted by your teammates and do not attempt to pursue.

Unlike the ship at the drydocks, the PD on the Tenax is fully operational and has no trouble shooting down two missiles.
: You'll need more than that to get through the screen, pal! Frisk, you ready?
: Yup.
: FIRE!

Frisk dumps both MMS pods into the same side of the destroyer you attacked, and after a short delay, Pansar launches two JSMs at two of the PD turrets.
LAMS Emplacement 1 rolls to intercept missiles:
Roll: 5
Result: 5/24 MMS destroyed

Roll: 6
Result: 6/13 MMS destroyed

LAMS Emplacement 4 rolls to intercept missiles:
Roll: 4
Result: 4/7 MMS destroyed

87% of the incoming MMS salvo is destroyed by the anti-missile countermeasures, but in doing so the JSMs are allowed through. Portside point-defense capabilities reduced by 50%.

Everyone but Yamato lays into the port guns with their long-range energy weapons, and everyone but Musashi destroys their target. The Typhoons now have significantly less cover.

"AWACS I'm Returning for resupply"

Walter's hair on his back raise slightly as he turns his back to the destroyer and missiles in his cumbersome gunship

"stuff, that looks like a handful, activating scrambler."

Ellie activates the scrambler again, and then moves to rendezvous with the AWACS plane to resupply.
