ORDERS:
WINGMATES: Gir Quee ADM. Reshmar Marlon Sularen The Mongrel
The swarm of missiles was an unwelcome sight but absolutely no surprise. Do these “tacticians” really believe that there would be no plan for this? Of the twenty-four fighters engaged, six were lost as the others committed to evasive maneuvers. There were more options. The Commodore was working it out in his head, but also at the same time, trusting his Flight Directors to come up with plans as well. These anti-air missiles were devastating and direct but they were also clumsy.
” Redirect bombers to take out those SAM and AAM sites. The fighters in place can keep their attention in the meantime.”
None of them liked the idea of one set of pilots being put up as possible bait in favor of others, but this was a necessary tactic. As the carriers finished their redirect into firing positions, the Commodore gave the order to begin firing on the Maw ships, the furthest one to be targeted.
“Fire for effect.”
The Stratofortress bombers were a different matter, they were heavy hitters and would not be easily taken down. The heavies of the Ethereals were engaged with defending the bombers. Of course, there were other options as well, options was something that the Angellus family made their name in and the Stealth fighters had enough teeth to do the job and be relatively safe.
”Splash those bombers before they do more damage.”
That left the fleet. The AO was filled with “friendlies” which made targeting that much more difficult but that also meant that there could be other tactics in place. The multi-purpose and the fast attack fighters were available for tasking which meant that while the Jackals were painting targets, they could keep the fighting in a smaller and smaller theater.
”Tighten the net. Decrease their options. I want that Star Destroyer immobile.”
He was of course pointing at the flagship.
