Ace Combat: The Global War

I've got a PS3. If I get it, I'm down for some co-op.

Ace Combat: The Global War

Guild's back up, let's get this back up!

Ace Combat: The Global War

It all happened so fast. One moment Natasha was in near despair as she flew away from the city, knowing that there was nothing she could do, and the next everything was safe. The Belkan squadrons made quick work of...well, everything. The bomber, the fighters, the bomb. It was all taken care of in the blink of an eye. Soon the apparent squadron leader got on the radio, calm as can be. Refueling and a new base was just what the squadron needed, though Natasha was quite sure that Scott's A-7 wouldn't be able to make it to the new base. As if on cue, Scott came on the radio in reply and explained his aircraft's condition. Natasha took a quick look around at the other aircraft in her squadron, who came back into view as she slowed her MiG's airspeed. She had learned in Erusea to always be suspicious of everything, and the impressive speed in which the Belkans dispatched the enemy was something that could easily be scrutinized. In this situation though, despite her reservations she was too relieved that the city was safe to care. "Thanks for the save, Major. We owe you one," she chimed in once Scott had finished his explanation. She hoped the group would find a solution to Scott's problem, but other than that she could finally breathe easier.

Sweet twist, Rafale. I'm super psyched to see where we go from here. I'll get a post up when I can.

Ace Combat: The Global War

As her targets began to fall out of the sky, Natasha was about to prepare for an attack on the remaining two Tu-95s. Meteor and Border Boy's planes soon came into view, the Jaguar and Phantom on an attack run. Soon two missiles came streaking from the Jaguar, downing one of the remaining Bears. Natasha decided to leave the last one to Border Boy as he approached, and throttled up to assist with the remaining Tu-22Ms. They were all downed before she got there, though, and it was then that the disturbing AWACS order change scythed through the airwaves. Natasha desperately wanted to do something, but the XB-70 was out of her plane's league and she was powerless to intercept it, as was everyone else. Wrestling with her own emotions, she threw the plane into a high-G turn and hit the afterburner once she was pointed towards the bay. To her left she saw Romeo's A7 climbing with whatever it had left; it didn't look like much, judging by how much black smoke was pouring out of the back. As her own MiG-23, in significantly better condition, rapidly sped up to over Mach 2 and away from the predicted nuclear blast, she had many thoughts in her head - things like there must have been something we could have done, we should have figured out that the bombers were drones..., and When/if we land, Romeo had better be given a new aircraft. As she pulled away from the rest of Peace Sparrow, having the highest top speed, she fervently hoped that everyone would make it out. She didn't want to lose her entire squadron again.

I'm always really eager to post again before the cycle comes back around to me. I sure wouldn't mind a pace increase. Also, I apologize if I'm one of the needlers you referred to, Silver.

Ace Combat: The Global War

Wait, so 3 of us each shot missiles at 2 Tu-95s when there are only 4 total?

Duuude. School is destroying me. Take all the time you need, guys. :P

Ace Combat: The Global War

The Phantom Natasha had been chasing had been a more tough chase than usual. As the other members of her squadron successfully fired off their missiles quickly against the fighters they were chasing, Natasha had had to loop around the Phantom pilot a number of times, expecting less resistance from an F-4. She eventually drew a good bead on the twin-seat aircraft, but before she could fire the AWACS came on the radio and indicated that eight bombers were approaching the city. She still had a lock on the Phantom and quickly fired off two SDMs at it. "Yellow, Fox Two," she called as she peeled out and engaged her afterburner barely after the missiles had left the aircraft. "Angel, move to engage the bombers," she called out to her number two. Flying full speed at the incoming bombers, she stayed well below them until she was behind them, and initiated an Immelmann turn to get in attacking position behind the bombers. The eight bombers were spread out, with the four Tu-95s grouped and the four Tu-22Ms grouped. Noticing the bandit high above speeding away from her and the bombers, she wondered why the bombers were completely undefended save for their own defensive turrets. She moved to attack the four Tu-95s to her left, taking care to stay out of range of the bombers' tail-mounted 23mm cannons. Switching to her two long-range R-27Ts, she was now in firing position. Locking on to the leftmost bomber, she fired, calling out "Yellow, Fox Two" as the missile left its place on the fuselage. Adjusting slightly to lock on to the next bomber in the group, she fired again, with a "Yellow, Fox Two". Now out of her long-range missiles, she would have to get closer to attack the rest of the bombers.
