Ace Combat: Broken Line (OOC/Closed)

[Prosorusiya]

Suddenly rethinks escorting Nonna.

Doesnt have to as her flight is a F-16, a F-14D, and two F-15Es

Yeah... I've been meaning to ask Bea about switching flights, but we hadn't had anyone new join in a while flying air superiority, at least the last time I asked (read:eons ago), so Hnagman would have been weakened if I'd left. I guess IC Nona has been too busy... gettin' busy... to remember to ask the boss about switching squadrons. But I intend to have her fly with Nick from here on out.

Also that F-16 story is... questionable b\c of Soviet sources. As long as we stay in formation and nobody dive through the bomb stream though, all should be fine. Especially since only one plane is toss bombing, not the whole formation as in the claim\myth.

[The United Remnants of America]

Hey there, bud.

I can toss you a team shirt if you want.

How do you feel about the color red?

Now now URA, that's not how you build emotional bridges.

"Hey there, NUB, see that stream of lights? They're called tracers and they 'trace' the path you're supposed to go. Fly towards them!"

We've had 3 new characters come in flying air superiority versions of the Flanker including me, so I don't think we're lacking in air superiority, especially if you're looking to switch flights with one of the Flankers in Ghost.

Well We could put Miko in Hangman and that would Free up Nonna to go to same Flight as Nugget

Well if we wanted to really shuffle stuff, I'd suggest the following:

3th Mercenary Air Squadron "Morena"

SCARECROW:
01 Major Aleksei Tallow (Null) F-15C Eagle // Beiarusia
02 Major Garret Jones (Shark) F-14D Super Tomcat // SaintB
** 2nd Lt. Eddie Takeda (Wakizashi)
03 Lt. Jason Cain (Tombstone) F-15E Strike Eagle // Anowa
** 2nd Lt. Holly Clark (Fantasy)
04 Lt. Jax Bradford (Ranger) F-15E Strike Eagle // Kyraina
** Lt. Zach Steele (Knight)
05 2nd Lt. Mitsuko Kimura (Angel) F-15C Eagle

HANGMAN:
01 Capt. Shinobu Wakahisa (Hound) JAS 39 Gripen // Rupudska
02 Lt. Ivan Sidorov Vorkovich (Raróg) Su-27 Flanker-B // Theodosiya
03 2nd Lt. Kenneth Falkenrich (Icterine) Su-27M Flanker-E
04 2nd Lt. Aynur Karimova (Owl) Su-27 Flanker-B // Dayganistan
05 2nd Lt. Alexander Tolskev (Hazard) Su-25 Frogfoot // Tayner

GHOST:
01 Capt. Noel Silva (Águila) F-16B Fighting Falcon // Ubaria
** 2nd Lt. Maria Ferreiro (Outlaw)
02 Lt. Jyri Rasimus IV (Glory) A-4H Skyhawk // Eolmann
03 2nd Lt. Amabel Allard (Knot) IAI Nammer // Empire of Donner land
04 2nd Lt. Nonna Radomir (Dash) MiG-23 Flogger // Prosorusiya
05 2nd Lt. Nicholai "Nicky" Stroika (Dragon) F-16A Fighting Falcon // Parcia

Which makes Hangman & Scarecrow the most powerful;, modern flights, while making Ghost the flight with second-third line aircraft. Also, Scarecrow becomes an all American flight, and Hangman a mostly Russian flight, making macitence easier on all but poor Ghost flight.

But that's just me, and i'm totally bonkers. No way this would work, since I don't think Shark would want to part with commanding Hangman, and there might be other IC & OOC reason it wouldn't work as well. But you know, this is just me spitballin', no harm intended.

[Theodosiya]

Now i can't unseen it. A flight composed of 2 Su-27 Flanker B and a Su-35/Su-27M Flanker E, plus a Su-25 Frogfoot is led by... A JAS 39 Gripen, of all things. Reminds me of some movie where the boss of the dangerous group is the puniest of them all.

[Beiarusia]

To be honest, while I have no concrete reason for squadron division as a whole I do consider the pros and cons of who-goes-where, as well as what I'd think would make for good plot. I don't think I've ever taken suggestions for inner-squadron movements.

[Monopolgrad]

Are there there any roles particularly needed?

[Beiarusia]

We have a lack of dedicated air-to-ground, but otherwise do what you want.

Noted. Working on app now.

[Beiarusia]

I will be posting tonight. If Barricade A is not taken down then I will assume it is and whoever is attacking said barricade can mention the details after the fact.

Honestly, I've considered going air-to-ground, but I tapped out my funds on the F-14D unless I simply switched for an aircraft of equal or lesser monetary value.

The Gripen is hardly puny lol in terms of size yes, but it's still a solid combat aircraft

MISSION 15: SILENCE
Rubicon Wetlands, Beiarusia
November 27, 1992
69°F (21°C) Clear

An undeveloped section of the Beiarusian countryside, the Rubicon Wetlands have little in the way of tactical value and, furthermore, is a notoriously difficult area to traverse without utilizing the isolated roadway. Additionally, the area is considered hazardous due to native wildlife which includes large crocodiles and predators. Although not federally protected the wetlands serve as a nature preserve with little human interference.

Scarecrow and Jiangshi are to engage enemy interceptors coming in from the northwest.

Hangman is to continue clearing the barricades. Avoid blue-on-blue.

Ghost and Snowcat are to protect the friendly helicopters. Enemy decoys are now active in the forest, meaning that potential SAM sites may be little more than an unmanned vehicle.

[Prosorusiya]

Had Nona get a bit of a nick on the thigh... my idea being that she caught some shrapnel from a proximity shell, that few sideways hand hit her there. I was thing it would be the kind of wound that wouldn't keep her out of action, just a simple "pick shrapnel out with hand & sew up" deal. Hopefully that's not too unrealistic?

Were you hitting Barricade A or B from the start? We had the assumption it was Barricade A.

[Prosorusiya]

OOC Baracade A, but then it got plastered so IC maybe not? I think I'd say that inaccuracy plus toss bombing and having to confirm targets with other meant she overflew Barracade A and hit Barricade B. I envisioned them as not being very far apart, perhaps wrongly. I could always edit a previous post somehow to say she overflew the first barricade before her bomb toss.

No worries, doesnt affect much and we can work with it.

[Parcia]

I'll have nick drop down and do a check, maybe a few holes, some bits taken off her flaps/ailerons, and a vapor trail from her Oxy leak.

Name: Jack Young
Nationality: Weilvakia
Age (18 at youngest): 22
Gender: Male

Rank (O-1, O-2, or O-3): 0-1
Callsign: TIger

Appearance:

Height: 5'9''
Weight: 165 lbs

Aircraft: Sukhoi Su-17
Aircraft Appearance: Painted black and green with his emblem on the tail.
Emblem:

Funds $1 million

Personality: Jack is always upbeat and hard to bring down.
Strengths: He's skilled at taking out ground targets.
Weaknesses: Not especially bright, to put it polity.
Likes: Flying, animals, reading
Dislikes: Boredom, killjoys

Bio: Jack Young was the child of two pilots, albeit illegal ones. Both parents worked as smugglers, transporting illegal goods and sometimes people across the world for whoever payed. His parents often left for flights at the same time, leaving Jack to fend for himself. This wasn't a huge problem, they lived out in a rural area where crime was rare and he was left with plenty of food and money. But the long periods of isolation left desperately searching for company. He found it in books and the various pets he had. These experiences would cause him to cherish both greatly and foster a hatred of boredom.

With both parents flying planes for a living, a career as a pilot was an obvious choice. Jack planned to follow his parents and become a smuggler. They refused to let him. Besides dealing with law enforcement, their clients were often dangerous as well. It would be much better for him to become a legal pilot of some sort. They were less than pleased when he announced the career he had chosen: a pilot in the Weilvakian air force.

Jack passed through training and served dutifully for a year. He discovered he had a knack for it, especially when it came to hitting ground targets.As soon as he had the chance, he quit. He loved flying, but he wanted to fly in for a group that would let him see action. When he heard about how the Mercenary Air Squadron was paying pilots for combat, he was intrigued. When he was told that he could be given a more advanced plane in return for half of each bounty, it was an easy choice.


RP Example:

DO NOT REMOVE: 4242564

Also, where do we state the loadout of our plane?

Talk about a Doppleganger and it's stated in OOC and IC post before and during missions

[Ubaria]

Name: Jack Young
DO NOT REMOVE: 4242564

A couple of issues. One, your appearance image is literally exactly the same as somebody else, so change that if you can. Two, your personality and such is a bit lacking, try and expand on his strengths and weaknesses and Three, you don't have any RP examples, if you don't have any try and write a couple of paragraphs worth of content just so we know what level you're at.

Also, aircraft loadout can be stated in the OOC before a mission or during the IC, it's not a necessity but appreciated as it allows people to keep track of what you're using.
