Jaakko continues closing.

"What a stuffty day to be a Typhoon pilot," Jaakko remarks.

"I'm already on it!"

Alright, capacitors are charged, the coils are cooled, and the first round is chambered! Lorens lines up the CCIP pipper on the first energy weapon in his sights. Time to see this thing in action!

Whatever doubts Lorens had about taking the Gauss cannon at the expense of other munitions would be completely drowned out by sheer awe and terror in the moments to follow as he pulls the trigger. In that instant, a deafening roar rocks the airframe and overwhelms Lorens' hearing as the projectile exits the muzzle at hypersonic speed. Fiery exhaust engulfs the entire front end of the Warthog, dousing the roosterpit with blinding white light. Had someone else been watching from another angle, they might have been able to see the ensuing shockwave warping the light along the projectile's path.

"(ARK, F)UCK!"

The Warthog's well-earned moniker "the flying gun" shines under a new light.

a stuffty day to be an imperial in general, really

Gus waits for the AWACs to resupply him and prepares to haul ass back towards the fight.

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

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

Despite the jamming interfering with the gun's targeting system, it still scores a hit on your massive plane.

Jaakko continues closing.

You will be in gun range next turn.

Test taken at 30
Roll: 18 - success
Result: 1 hit to PPC turret 2 (i am assuming you are shooting the turret because you said energy weapon and LAMS is more of a countermeasure)

The shot penetrates all the way through the armored turret and it is torn apart by an explosion from within, taking the two nearby LAMS emplacements with it.

Gus waits for the AWACs to resupply him and prepares to haul ass back towards the fight.
You are resupplied.

With help from the GSCRAM, you dodge the incoming missiles. With the portside LAMS occupied with Walt's two missiles, your three fly over the cruiser and-

-are stopped by the starboard PD.

: Whoever's got the scrambler, thanks for the assist! Pansar, you ready to blast this thing?
: Can't. Won't lock. Damn PPC screwed up everything.

While Frisk waits for Pansar to recover so they can make their attack, Raiden continues theirs.

Test taken at 82
Roll: 100 - critical failure!
Result: Field Inhibitor malfunction

You hear a yelp of surprise from Xiaomei cut to static as a malfunction in the PPC's Field Inhibitor covers her plane in arcing electrical discharges.
: [Are you alright? ...Xiaomei?] Mjolnir, something's happened to the Wyvern.

Though there is no radio response, the fact that the Wyvern has disengaged from its the attack run indicates that the pilot is not dead and still has some level of control over her craft.

The rest of the team takes out their side's LAMS emplacements, allowing Yamato to knock out the SAMs with a pair of joint-strike missiles.

Walt's airframe shakes from the direct impact of the PPC as he winds his shoulders forward

"At least I know it can take some damage form a deck gun"

Walt pauses to realize no one is able to hear him and heads on towards the AWACS regardless as he tampers with his equipment and reviews damage.

"I'm under the destroyers guns right now. Someone assist with me in flushing out these Typhoons. I need two available hands to move to assist the Wyvern, keep it protected. Raiden, will you continue with your attack?" Jaakko chatters.

Anxiety builds in him, or perhaps it's anticipation. He observes the white figures of the destroyers, and prepares to flush the Typhoons.

"Did she get hit by a PPC? Or was it her own?"

The low hum of the engines turns into a roar as the PAK FA reaches its top speed. He dives to avoid the gun arcs of the destroyers and in the process picks up even more speed. The surroundings begin to blur together. He does his best to aim towards the Wyvern. Wow, I'm really moving now.

A peculiar feeling comes over Gus as the G-forces increase in the dive.

The smoke clears, and Lorens gets to see for himself the destruction the Gauss cannon is capable of with the best seat in the house.

"Hohoho, stuff!," he chuckles. He realizes he forgot to call the shot. "Scratch one PPC turret, good effect on target! Man, this thing is nuts!"

The A-10 swings back around to come for another pass. Lorens takes a moment to ready the cannon, listening for the charging whine. Another projectile is loaded into the chamber.

"Pansar, Frisk, I'll go on and keep clearing out the threats!"

Lorens brings the gun to bear over the second PPC turret next to the SAM tubes. "Guns on the Tenax!" He braces himself for the boom and squeezes the trigger. The Warthog recoils from the firing and shudders as the airspeed is cut significantly. The needles in the backup gauges flop about wildly, made apparent by the bright flash illuminating the dashboard.

Tippy keeps the missile flow coming on T5 with 2 AAM's

Roger follows suite with 2 of his own.

"You REALLY want that typhoon don't you?"
 

Yui wonders what's going on in the air right now.

"Did she get hit by a PPC? Or was it her own?"
: Must be a problem with the Field Inhibitor. The gun basically backfired on her.

"I'm under the destroyers guns right now. Someone assist with me in flushing out these Typhoons. I need two available hands to move to assist the Wyvern, keep it protected. Raiden, will you continue with your attack?" Jaakko chatters.
: Uh, why wouldn't we?

But the turret doesn't, and you pick up two more SAMs, as does Frisk.
: Oh, this is just my luck.

The exact same thing happens this time as happened the last time. The missiles fly past the cruiser and are knocked out by the LAMS on the other side. The Typhoons return fire with more AAMs.
: Are you guys seriously trying to hit those Typhoons with missiles? We haven't shut down the PD on the other side yet!

Yamato fires another two JSMs to destroy the front PPC turret on the Pertinax, and Pansar shoots two at the remaining PD turret on their side.
LAMS Emplacement L1 rolls to intercept missiles:
AAM 1: 90 - success
AAM 2: 89 - failure

He takes it out. There is now no point defense coverage on the entire port side of the Tenax.
: Port PD is down! Slag that thing!
: I'm a little busy, here!

Locations update:
Raiden/Djuriskas/Snowman are 1 turn away from gun range.
Tippy, Whiskey, Crash, and Gladiator have entered gun range.
Walt and Skytracer are 2 turns from resupply.
Tempest is 3 turns from gun range.

"Does she need an escort?"

Gus white-knuckles the stick from anxiety.

The peculiar feeling from the dive persists.
