ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Badger]

Walter readies a chaff packet to evade in the event his missile isn't destroyed.

"Firing on LAMS at F."

Walter aims his heavy cannons and the twin AC5 to fire. (Given he doesn't have to evade, otherwise evade+aim)

[Ad Bot]

[ZombiLoin]

Faw lines up a run on the LAMS site by G and fires his coaxials at it.

[NoZoner]

Reflecting Array Approach "forgetin' A! That's all three! Good shooting, everyone!" Once Ash deems the Corsair fit to fly in the stratosphere for the forseeable future, he targets the reflector array and fires another two semi-active missiles. "Fox one on the target!"

Palisade, Phase 1 "Scratch one LAMS! That drone launcher (atop building C) is next! Snowman, in hot!" Lorens quickly makes a shallow roll and turns a few degrees to the left before leveling his wings. The coilgun's calculated point of impact falls over the target. "Guns!" Two sabot rounds are explosively discharged from the coilguns and sent downrange at hypersonic speed. Lorens increases power, releases a chaff packet should the scrambler fail and pulls up into a steeply banked ascending turn.

[Qwepir]

Reflecting Array Attack

Sighing in irritation, Markus looks to see if there's any possible blind spots in the LAMS arrays.

Considering exactly zero of the six LAMS emplacements have been destroyed, no there is not.

"Alright, we should be able to disable the damaged levitation array if we all fire on it at once, give it everything you've got."

Ellie turns back around to fire her RGMs and LCB at the damaged array, hoping that the cannon doesn't get damaged from the heat.

[Operator¹]

"This is Skytracer, requesting resupply." Ellie maintains her distance away from the reflecting array and a steady heading.


Bell opens fire on the PPC turret with her LCB and deploys a string of chaff to avoid being targeted by the SAM emplacement.

: Make sure you don't get too close, or you'll get chewed up by more than just that laser firing from above.

[NoZoner]

Reflecting Array Approach "How many loving drones does this thing have?" Still wary of the plasma gun's temperature, Ash decides it would be better to eliminate the threat and make room for a COMRO resupply. "That first drone is on my radar now," he communicates, "Fox one ripple!" Another two missiles drop from their pylons and shoot off to intercept Bothynus-9.

Palisade, Phase 1 "Damn, missed. I'm turning back around to take another shot," Lorens announces. The Shiva continues turning and eventually rolls out in front of the drone launcher. He pulls the trigger and fires both Gauss cannons.

[Gojira]

Markus lines up for resupply.
"Mjolnir 2, requesting resupply, 4 ARMs."

[Badger]

"Co-pilot, hit that emplacement at F with four rockets. I'm firing on the southwest Particle Cannon."

Walter waits a moment after the rockets before letting loose one of his AGMs

[ZombiLoin]

Faw activates his cloak and lines up another firing solution on the LAMS by building G.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko continues to maneuver erratically while watching keeping his squadron covered.

Markus lines up for resupply.
"Mjolnir 2, requesting resupply, 4 ARMs."

: Understood. Be advised, only four replacement missiles remaining. Make them count.

Palisade begins shifting; a protrusion from the top of the tower becomes more prominent and begins glowing bright white.

Facility in gun range next turn.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko snaps his aircraft around, but catches a glimpse of Palisade shifting and preparing to fire. He takes his aircraft on a path around Palisade, and firewalls the throttle, maximizing his angular velocity to the installation.

"Is that thing going to fire at us?!"

[Operator¹]

"Starviper-2, can you circle around with Scorch and attack the levitation array from the other side? I'll try to finish off the damaged one."

Ellie circles around and prepares to fire on the damaged array.


: Oh boy, that can't be good, now I'm wondering if it's supposed to kill everything below or above it.

Bell fires two AAMs at Umbral-3 before breaking off to go evasive.

[NoZoner]

Reflecting Array Approach Sparks shower the canopy as the laser beam carves a molten gash down the length of the fuselage. Ash yelps, turns his fighter back around with all haste and maneuvers erratically to defend from further laser attacks. "SWACS, Blackeye," Ash calls out over a secure comms channel, "I've turned back around and am now flying to you on vector 140, request rejoin for aerial rearmament," he finishes with a gulp and exhales.

Palisade, Phase 1 "Scratch one drone launcher! Snowman, turning South! Defending!" Lorens throws out a chaff packet and jinks right to avoid the missile. He continues South and starts undulating his flight path to avoid a potential attack from the Palisade.

[Gojira]

"Copy, we'll do our best."
Markus begins to follow Ellie's instructions, circling around to the other side of the reflector array.
