: Tempest, we'll provide cover for your squadron if you go after the more maneuverable  planes first. I'm pretty sure that Raiden is coming out to play since we're doing an air skirmish, so be careful.

Ellie keeps her lock on the Vespid.

A small flash in the distance in the center of your reticle indicates the Superflanker going down in a fireball. More close by, you see the drones getting taken down one by one. One lucky missile disables a Typhoon as well.


"I'll try hitting that sixth Vespid," Lorens calls out. Though the drone is well past his weapons envelope, he turns his radar on and slaves it to the target for laser stabilization. The gimballed lens gyrates to face the drone and extends to maximum focus distance.

"Guns!" Lorens pulls the trigger and fires the laser cannon.
From this distance, it's impossible to tell if your attack had any effect. All you know for sure is that the drone is still active.
: What are you doing, man. Come on now.

: Tempest, we'll provide cover for your squadron if you go after the more maneuverable  planes first. I'm pretty sure that Raiden is coming out to play since we're doing an air skirmish, so be careful.

Ellie keeps her lock on the Vespid.
: Why am I not surprised those slimy forgetin' zipperheads sold out too?

A chirp inside your helmet indicates that the drone is no more, and you see almost all the other Vespid contacts drop off the radar as well as allied RGMs wipe out nearly the entire wave. Then, the incoming missiles reach their targets.
: Bravo four here, I've lost control!
: Bravo three just blew up, anyone see if he made it?
: Charlie three and six are down.

Missile Range next turn.

tippys attention goes to bravo 5 as she lines up her sights and fires off her last rgm before things get closer

Skytracer directs her drones to form up on the tail-end of Draugr's formation while she sets her sights on Gel-1.

: Snowman, stick close to me so you don't get caught by yourself. Ellie's got those drones so she should be alright for now.

The superflanker dodges out of the way of the incoming missile.

Formations have now closed to missile range, and both parties are met with a slew of new contacts.

Markus watches the RWR light up like a fireworks show.

: I think I found the rest of their planes!

He starts taking aim at Delta 3 after firing two AAMs at Delta 4.

: Targeting Bravo-2

Walter begins to pull the Nosferatu to aim down on said aircraft

"Weapons free. Tippy, lets focus on the big stuff,"

Jaakko switches to his HSMs, and targets Alpha 1. He fires two HSMs.

Tippy fires 2 HSM's at Alpha 2

Lorens

Lorens sucks air in through his teeth as the warning tones blare deafeningly within the confines of the roosterpit.

"New groups in range! Shortsword, Snowman, I'm staying on you!"

Making sure the Flanker is fixed to Bell's side, Lorens turns his helmet-mounted display on and cues Gel-1. "I've got tally on a Sol, good tone! Three, engaging offensive!" He looses two all-aspect missiles and prays that they connect.

     Ash

"Fight's on! Blackeye, engaging offensive!"

Ash's heater bore falls over Alpha-5, and the low feedback growl immediately rises to the screeching launch authorization tone. Without hesitation, he mashes the weapon release button and sends three heatseekers to the PAK-FA. "Ripple Fox-2 medium!" To defend from long-range gun attacks, Ash bobs and weaves the fighter as he closes in on the Aesthian formation.

Ellie fires off her aimed LCB shot at Gel-1 and orders her drones to fire two AAMs each on Gel-1.

: [It was a ruse! They're all fighters!]
: [Whiteshields, reduce throttle. Maintain your distance and be ready to disengage. I'm going to request another squadron to take our place.]

Sticking out like sore thumbs among the Imperial formation in their Aesthian planes, Tippy and Virvel come under fire. Walt does as well, by virtue of flying a high value target. There are too many enemies present to pinpoint what is targeting you and from where.

The drone is taken out.

: Can't quite make out where your traitors are, Bell, but-

Tempest pitches his nose down as a PPC streaks through where his roosterpit just was. The continuation of his transmission is laden with interference but still ends up more or less intelligible.
: -I see the Kinos. We're going after them.

Draugur begins pouring on the speed and shoots ahead of everyone else.

Skytracer and Snowman pick up some missiles, but with all the enemy planes present it's nearly impossible to tell who's targeting you or what the missiles are.

Walter fires on Bravo two with the gauss cannons and then pulls off to evade near Virvel while dropping two flares

"Six aircraft are breaking formation. I'm seeing a Wyvern and two drones. Bell and her half of Mjolnir is here,"

Tippy breaks from Jaakko and dispenses flares. He moves to follow her. He selects his AAMs and fires and off-boresight shot at Draugr-2 with two missiles.
