[Badger]

Walter circles around yet again

[Ad Bot]

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko begins lining up his a shot against the southwest AAA battery.

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Graf heads to the HQ sector and fires an AGM at a SAM in the northeast of the sector.

[NoZoner]

Lorens immediately switches gears and contacts the ground forces.

"Forward air controller, heads up! Single A-10 approaching from North. I'm going to attack the Southeast guard tower with the Gauss cannon!"

The decelerons split open, slowing the Warthog's descent considerably. He puts the CCIP pipper on target and pulls the trigger. "Guns!"

[ZombiLoin]

"Alpha clear, moving to HQ."
Faw starts to fly to HQ.

[Qwepir]

Walter circles around yet again

You are now lined up.

Jaakko begins lining up his a shot against the southwest AAA battery.

You don't pick up any SAMs. Probably because you're invisible.

Graf heads to the HQ sector and fires an AGM at a SAM in the northeast of the sector.

HQ LAMS 2 rolls to intercept missiles:
AGM 1: 96 - failure
AGM 1: 64 - failure
You take out one of the SAMs, and pick two up in return.

"Forward air controller, heads up! Single A-10 approaching from North. I'm going to attack the Southeast guard tower with the Gauss cannon!"

The heavy gauss slug fares much better, essentially bifurcating the tower and causing it to collapse on itself.

Yamashiro and Musashi fire a missile at two different towers to knock them down as well.

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Hilbert knew missiles would be coming for his plane. Missile operators pay attention. He drops chaff when the missile gets close enough for it to take effect and banks as hard as he can tolerate to the left, hopefully propelling him to a SAM-free Alpha sector.

"Let's hope this works," is the only thought circulating through his head at the moment, "otherwise I'm not gonna be around much longer."

[Mr. Hurricane]

AC5 fire rips through the glass figure as Jaakko fires on the AAA battery.

"Hey, Graf, use that cluster bomb on some AA, will ya?"

[Badger]

Walter fires on the remaining infantry squad with his flak twice

"Gound forces at Bravo do you require any more CAS?"

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy swings back around and fire's another shot.

[ZombiLoin]

"Hey, need help? Firing on those foot-sloggers and AT."

Faw lines up the infantry and anti-tank units on the upper-left flank in his sights before swooping down and showering them both with LCP and LCB fire.

[NoZoner]

"That's one! FAC, Snowman, I'm coming around for another pass!"

Lorens closes the decelerons, pushes the lever for full power and makes a climbing ascent. He ends up back down on another guard tower before popping the decelerons open again.

"Approaching South guard tower from East, using coilgun, caution danger close!"

Lorens brings the CCIP pipper over his next target and pulls the trigger. The tremendous boom and explosive release of fiery gasses, however many times experienced by the pilot, remains terrifying.

And Snowman blows another to chunks.

Yamashiro takes out the last one with an AGM before contacting the radioman again.
: That's the last of the guard towers. Do you need anything else?
: Nah, we were gonna ask you to get that other airship to forget off, but it looks like it's leaving on its own. Now it's a fair fight!
: Right. Before we go, do you know of any Kintharian personnel being held at that camp?
: Haven't seen any, but I've overheard we've got some of your pilots here, as well as a few footsloggers.
: Thank you. Good luck down there.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy radios down

"One more thing. If you find that bastard with the wall penetrating rifle, perhaps consider having it shipped to Valhalla Airbase. I'm rather interested, or keep it, that's fine too."

[Deoxys And One Noob]

forget. "Alright, Graf here, that SAM shook me up, but I'm still alive and fighting."

Hilbert comes back to the sector and drops his cluster bomb in a place where it can hit all five SAM's in the southwest of the headquarters sector.
