Ace Combat: The Global War

Hm... Really not looking forward to trying to get Miku's plane landed.

Even if we have the perfect soundtrack choice for the moment.

Also, they have a Falken? Crap.

And I just realised I may have just painted a big target on Miku's head, since she's flying a wounded bird and serious enemies have shown up.

IDEA IN PROGRESS.

For the Greater Good.

The Greater Good...

(Yes, I've watched Hot Fuzz too many times.)

Ace Combat: The Global War

On cue, Miku slammed her stick to the left, sending the Corsair into a tight turn. A quick look back over her shoulder, and seeing the thick trail of black smoke pouring out of her damaged engine, did little to settle her.

Come on, keep it together. You can do this.

And then one of the MiGs made its first, and hopefully last mistake. It settled into a near-level path in front of her as she turned, and her target finder snapped onto it with its familiar whine. She flipped a switch on her instrument panel, and hit the missile release on her stick, sending one of her Sidewinders rocketing away from the pylon on the port side of the fuselage.

"Angel Witch, Fox Two."

OK, I think I'm going to switch my main onto Zyguard as well, it that's all right with everyone. I just think they'd fit in better there.

So there we are, first damaged friendly of the sortie.

Too slow. She'd been too slow to react to the incoming missile, but not by much. While Miku had managed to avoid it, it detonated inside her exhaust cone, sending shrapnel scything into her engine. Things were bad, but they could be a hell of a lot worse, she mused to herself, even though fear had already sucked the colour from her face as she wrestled with the controls to try and stabilise her bucking jet.

"C-copy that... I think you might be a bit too late though. I think I've taken some shrapnel or something; my plane's a bit sluggish on the pitch and I'm down on thrust."

Ace Combat: The Global War

Go for it.
