@ClocktowerEchos hey sorry if i probably didn't make this clear, but please specify which raven you are shooting at
2 is dead 3 and 5 are chasing Kerry 1 (leader) and 4 are in formation with the bomber.
Also you cant auto-hit the enemies, so youll have to edit the pasts about your bullets grazing them, you can write as if you were shooting at or trying to shoot and missing, but only confirmed hits can be described by me when I respond to the post.
@ClocktowerEchos indeed you can, mind you though Roland isn't actually the wing leader, hes just a guide. Feel free to engage the enemy however you want without permission or orders.
Roland was steaming with anger he had just caught notice of Kerry Thomas behind him flashing a morse code signal that his 'New One' plane was not at maximum condition. Roland explcitly told those AA idiots to make sure all the planes were battle ready before take off, but they had obvious did a slap-dash job with 'The New One' maybe prejudice against Texans was an issue here as well, or maybe they were just lazy, probably a bit of both. However Roland was happy to see the texan manuver his way past enemy gunfire and climb to an advantageous altitude and past the enemy's main attack path.
Roland was staring into the eyes of the beast Little Raven #2 was in short distance and started to squirt off some gunfire which was quite inaccurate due to the Iron Jackson approaching at an awkward angle. But Roland only had to yaw a little to the left and had #2 in his sights when he rattled off his own machine gun fire back at the enemy as he closed in.....
BRRRRAPPPEPPEPEPP
The Experince of Roland Shaw was apparent, with only a few shots his managed to punch some serious holes along the enemy plane's nose and right wing, there was black smoke trailing from underneath the craft within seconds which Roland noted as he flew past the plane, narrowly avoiding collision.
Little Raven #2: Whattttt!!!??? how could this infidel strike me? the spiritual father was my guide, he was my mesiiah I... I....
BBBOOOOMMSHHHH
Kerry Thomas missile hit the enemy hard and detonated right underneath its engine and engulfed the Little Raven #2 in a massive explosion, the broken bird pilot was killed questioning his religion, although it was far too late to reconvert. There were 4 fighters and one bomber left, and they had now began to seriously mobilise, taking the situation a lot more seriously now there was a second plane in the mix. Roland boosted his signal and managed to patch through to Kerry's Intercom. It was risky, as if the enemy had sophisticated channels they might be able to listen in.
....Nii..cce.....nice work Kerry, but you have stop flashing morse code, the Broken.....irds were trained by the Dutch Army, they can readd......it you need to boost signal and ...et on to my.....channel....an.....you.....ear..me?!!
Just as the message ended Little Raven #3 and #5 had both split off from formation and started to climb altitude to start to chase Kerry, the were closing in fairly fast and both were on the same attack path, they were snickering over the intercom for everyone to hear.
Little Raven #3 AHAHAHH Bless the heavens and the eternal wings, we have a Texan on this battlefield, just as stupid as the Father said they were....looks like his plane isn't doing too well, well once he becomes part of the sky forever he wont be needing that ugly hunk of metal!!!
Little Raven #5 I shall be the one to deliver his final flight to the eternal sky, don't get in my way!!I will be the one with a warmonging Texan on my kill record! praise the eternal wings!!
#5 fired off some rounds from the machine gun and a few rounds slammed into Kerry's 'New One' for minor damage, the Texan was flying skillfully enough to not be seriously damaged but the armor of the plane took about 11% damage to Kerry's plane ,#3 was desperately trying to climb altitude to get on Kerry's tail so he could line up a Missile shot of his own.
Little Raven #1 (leader) Ahh now you see this is part of the Eternal wing's plan he let one of our very own give his life and ascend as to refocus our efforts and destroy these godless mercenaries.......and has even offered us a feisty Texan as a gift for our worship....tell me Mr Kamikaze leader...what do you plan to do now?
Roland was sweating bullets, #1 and #4 were in tight formation with the bomber, which was going to be Roland's next target, but now Kerry was being chased by two insane fighters, Dynamo punched his control board in anger, and shouted down the intercom.
I plan to send you and your brainwashed children of the corn back to the very ground you despise at the highest and most dangerous speed possible...starting with you!!!
'Dynamo'began charging his single use deadly laser cutter beam, ready to slice that arrogant leader in half, the minute he could line up the shot. Hopefully Kerry could handle himself until the others caught up....
Roland stomped out of Ryan's office with Hobbes walking behind him close by, the click clack of his super shined boots were now in a hurried rhythm. Hobbes knew that Commander Ryan could be difficult, and Roland's personality clashed fiercely with his. Hobbes ordered the AA staff to start cleaning, stocking and fueling the planes, as Roland didn't want to be in this base any longer then he had to be.
Arrogant limey prick!......No offense, Hobbes. How dare he question my decisions or even bring up my dead squad, you'd think if he was that well informed on the sky, that he could do this job himself, he can still fly cant he?
Hobbes didn't want to say anything, he had respect for both men and didn't want to get involved, and on some level Roland knew and respected this.
Roland's pace quickened into a jog, he strapped on his flight goggles and headed to the hangar, he threw on his bomber jacket and told Hobbes to make sure the runways were clear for all the pilots to take off. Hobbes ran towards the control room and relayed the message.
Oh one mor fing control room, we've got us two pilots running a tad late, keep the air space clear for Ava Falke and Alex Harving and give them our coordinates so they can catch up, all the planes are ready to go and im finking Mr Shaw is wantin to get a move on.......hang on whats that!?
DANGER DANGER!! UNIDENTIFIED AIRCRAFT ENTERING THE SCOTTISH AA BASE AIR SPACE, ACTIVATE ALL DEFENSES!
The screen was flashing red as the defense siren started whining very loud and soon the whole building was on high alert. The control room immediately activated the Anti Air guns, but were panicking as this base had never been attacked by anything but small drones, and weren't sure about the effectiveness of their guns on possible fighter pilots. Hobbes began to shake with fear and ran to one of the manual guns to help with the defense of the base, he was confident that Roland would be okay in this situation, they didn't call him the Dynamo for nothing.
Roland was now in the hangar making sure the planes were all prepped and ready to go, shouting at the AA staff to hurry up and open the doors, he had heard the alarm and had already had all the info he needed, he was going to engage these aircraft way before they got anywhere near the base, he didn't trust the Defense Turrets anymore than he trusted Michael Ryan so he needed to act quickly and protect the base including the pilots who had just arrived. So he ran to the intercom and gave his message to the common room.
Pilots! Sky Warriors, get in your planes NOW, we are going to head the enemy off before they reach the defense air space of the base, scramble immediately we are probably in for a fight. I'll be taking off immediately and see if I can draw them away from the attack path. we don't know what aircraft we are dealing with yet, but Hobbes and control room will keep us updated....It wasn't my intention for us to be in action so quickly but I picked you all for a reason. So lets get this done so we can head for Iceland. ASSEMBLE!
Roland then was in his beloved craft, the Iron Jackson, he slammed canopy shut and the engine growled fiercely as he flicked on all of his system, and steered the plane on the runway for take-off, the AA staff were finally finished and the way was clear. The engines breathed fire like metal flamethrowers and like a true Sky Warrior it was off, hitting full ground speed and gently lifting off into the air. Roland felt that beautiful sigh of relief that he always does when hes off the ground. He flicked on his intercom to speak with the unknown aircraft if he had to and also had a separate channel for his squadmates when they caught up. It wasn't long before he could see them on his radar, the enemy was about 2 miles away and were roughly 30,000 feet high in the air, probably ready to descend for an attack run. Roland didn't have his scanning computer on board anymore since the war but he still had a good idea based on his advanced radar. He picked up speed to engage and got a good look as he closed in.
There were 5 fighter planes and 1 bomber...they had an insignia that control room's air surveillance was able to pick up...they were Broken Birds!
The enemy intercom crackled on as the lead pilot began to speak.
Geetings unbelievers, we are grateful we got to experience the beautiful hills of Scotland for this assignment, our spiritual leader Father Caspar-Hannes has declared this land unholy, being poisoned by the will and demonic schemes of clan of Albion crusaders who wan't to tie the birds to the floor forever by building and expanding land cities when we are so close to ascending to the sky, we wont be able to save your bodies, but when we liberate your souls they will join us in the eternal sky.
Roland began to switch on his missile targeting systems, he didn't need to say anything to these nutjobs, he already knew that the only way to deal with the Broken Birds was to 'liberate their souls' first. Though he was familiar with them attacking random bases and settlements he was shocked for them to find this base in the middle of nowhere in Scotland. Roland took a deep breath and flew straight at the group. Hoping to get their attention and tie them up while his squad arrived.
Ahh so what's this?? a lone kamikaze pilot perhaps? what false idol are you prepared to die for I wonder? I admire your bravery sir, let me not keep you in this mortal realm any longer than we need to.....
