zeon quest! fuck yea! i just rembered it and came to see if it was up tonight.

You are currently in command of the 3rd Squad of 1st Company which consists of you and:

ZOLOMON RINGO: AKA, the bro, AKA Oh god he's got an Axe run!
Your wingman since the start of the war, his speciality is twin Heat Hawks and general close combat.

He currently pilots an MS-06f Zaku II with 2 Heat Hawks and an MG.

He has 98 kills, most of them axe related.

I think gouk was the slight favorite, just so we could go Norris on some feddie ass later/now/then.

The new girl is JOLYNE BRANDE

Relatively insular, you have yet to go into combat toghether, but her combat record seems sound, even if she does has a tendency to break the jaws of people who mack on her.

She pilots an MS-06K Zaku Cannon

14 Kills so far

Lastly, one thing I've noticed is that with your triple promotion to Lieutenant JG, you are now entitled to a totally awesome cloak, as you can see on this chart.

Bitching.

>>6819708
So is there a reason Zolomon is wearing Lt. Commander tabs? Also, you declared him a Sgt, So I assume he'd actually be a Petty Officer, seeing as how Chief is mostly a supervisory/political rank?

>>6819757

He's got those tabs because that's a shoop involving several character portrait sprites from SRW Alpha 2.

As for rank, he's technically a Petty Officer/Sargeant (I keep getting conflicting reports as to what ranks are what in the Zeon Military.)

Anyway, when we last left you, men from California's MS R&D department were asking you if you wanted to test one of their prototypes.
Discounting the Marine options which nobody seemed particularily enamoured with your choices were thus...

No love for MSMs?

Hygogg related.

Bill Murray up in this motherfucker. I'm disappointed in missing the last few, but I've kept myself up on what's happened.

What's this shit about Admirals not getting cloaks? They're not allowed to be dapper?

As for our suit, I've said before, I know dick about Gundam, so whichever the more knowledged think is best. Everyone was saying the Gouf was pretty good.

>>6819859

Desert Zaku
Even better ability at navigating terrain, even more guns.

>>6819903

If Delaz is any indication, admirals get dirty great longcoats insteads.

>>6819906

The Second option is this

YMS-07 Gouf Prototype

Same armaments as a basic Zaku, but better armour and agility. Also, it's no Zaku boy, no Zaku.

YOU CAN CHOOSE ONLY ONE

CHOOSE

gouf love

>>6819955
You forgot the Prototype Gogg...

>>6819906
Desert type. Dakka dakka!

Guessing the gouf.

Make sure our old zaku gets repainted. We don't want some rookie cashing in on our reputation.

>>6819990

Also, gouf

GOUF

>>6820020
Sorry, I just like mega particle cannons.
Well, Gouf it is.

>>6820079

well, it would have tied us in to a sea mission. realy, want to keep kicking ass out of water. no matter how awsom the mech, no one ever wants to be tied to the sea

>>6819961

What is with you people? Don't you want to have a frickin' vulcan gun of your fricken' head? Ah well, it seems I've been outvoted. Unless half a dozen anons start voting for desert type.

Speak for yourself

NEW MOBILE SUIT GAINED

1x YMS-06 PROTOTYPE GOUF

Ookawara quickly takes in the new mobile suit and respays it to roughly your colour scheme.

"It's not as good as the last one, but it'll have to do." He comments once he finishes in the late evening.

DUE TO YOUR RANK AND FAME, YOU MAY KEEP YOU OLD ZAKU WITHIN THE SQUAD, ANY MEMBER OF THE SQUAD MAY EXCHANGE THEIR CURRENT MS IF YOU GIVE THE ORDER.
SOME PILOTS HOWEVER WILL DO BETTER IN CERTAIN MOBILE SUITS.

>>6820173
SUGGEST WE KEEP IT IN RESERVE FOR ANY MISSION IN WHICH ARTY SUPPORT WOULD NOT BE AS FAVORABLE AS A REGULAR ZAKU.

>>6820173
I say leave it up to them if they want to use it.

>>6820206
This, if we can. Otherwise, if they need suits on the field, let it on to someone else with a more standard paintjob.

Keep tabs on it though, if we can.

Yeah, let's just keep it in the back so to speak, if we can. Someone gets their suit damaged, or yeah, maybe the new girls long range is useless in a mission, then it could be useful to change suits.

And if we can't just have it sitting around, get it a standard paint job and send it on its way.

I assume the P.type lacking the MG fingers can use standard Zaku armament?

>>6820361
see last part of
>>6819955

Having a bad day?

You opt to keep the suit in reserve.
It will remain in the California base unless specifically asked for.

The rest of March goes quietly you perform a couple of patrols and some dummy combat tests for the Gouf, overall it performs well and you have no complaints.

On the fourth of April however, you are called into the briefing room.

The battalion is being sent out to Iowa. It seems that the Feddies are making a counter attack from Canada, and a large contingent of air assets have broken past local forces and are heading towards Iowa, as there are still several concealed runways and airbases in that area. Your orders are to intercept them when they're low on fuel, just before they touchdown.
Locating and destroying any enemy airfields you find would be a bonus.

This action will be under taken by 2nd Battalion as well as three companies of Dopp fighters. You'll be transported by either Fat-Uncle transports or Gaws. Dodai riding is an option, but it's standard practice to have a normal ride home if the Dodai get's shot out from under you."

WHAT IS YOUR LOADOUT AND MS COMPOSITION?

>>6820442
For us, machine gun w/ 2 ammo clips, 2 cracker grenades to f*ck up the landing fields, and a Heat Hawk. Can we try to program in some superior air-targeting priorities for our Gouf?

The Magela Cannon can fire AA Flack shells, right? So Jolyne should be good as is, and Zolomon has his AA Axes.

>>6820442
Can we go with the loadout we used earlier with a combined MG and bazooka?

Fuckyeah!

If anyone wants to watch some gundam, the livestream channel can be put up.

the channel is zeonquest.

>>6820553

It also totally works now.

if the gouf can carry it, the MG and the heathawk and the ever useless crack 'nades. how good is the zaku cannon at AA work?

>>6820400
Yes.

Seeing as the the new suit hasn't been modded with the extra equipment mount, (unless mistaken), MG, Grenades, Leg Missile Pods, with appropriate ammo. Also, anyone remember to add smoke launchers yet?

>>6820140

correction: most people. i suspect.

>>6820526

Sure. Also, do you want to requisition some Dodai's to ride on?

>>6820564

livestream.com?

zeonquest?

cos im getting nout.

>>6820611
Hmm, the extra mobility would be good... But wouldn't the Magela Cannon's accuracy suffer?

If we're expected to face heavy air forces, whichever would be more effective against them.

However, if it's possible for us to get close to damage destroy the runways/landing fields and lower the number of enemy air forces, we should try that.

>>6820619

Yes

www.livestream.com

/zeonquest

Dodais have bombs don't they? Maybe it would be good sense to have them along, ridden or not.

>>6820751

i suspect it would be useless flying around waiting for us.

i think we should take it, given the seed of aircraft, if were to have a hope of hitting the airfields, i think.

A Gouf. If it's good enough for Ramba Ral, then it's damn well good enough for us.

SURF IOWA

Let's take a few dodais.

>>6820798
Of course we will utilize their speed. It's just good to note that they could potentially assist in runway cratering.

I suggest that we wait to start the attack until the enemy aircraft are on the ground. Each of our suits hits one airfield, then moves on to another one. That lets us hit the airfields as fast as possible, and aircraft on the ground are nowhere near as much of a problem as aircraft in the air.

Prioritize cratering the runways first. That'll trap the planes on the ground, allowing us to smash the rest of the field at our leisure. Next priorities are fuel depots, air control, repair shops and ground equipment. Only once the airfield is completely unusable do we move on to destroying the aircraft.

>>6820929
Yeah, but aren't we trying to get the aircraft BEFORE they touch down? There might be some left on the grounds, but I thought the bulk of them would be airborne. Still, I guess keeping them from landing would be a good idea.

>>6820929
That will be perfect for the attack but, we don't really know where the airfields are exactly. May I suggest laying low and attempting to follow a Fed aircraft low on fuel/damaged back to it's field?

>>6820968
The aircraft will be easier to kill on the ground. Also, if we wait for the first wave of aircraft to land and then start blowing the shit out of the airfields they landed at, the second wave of Feddies is going to be pointed towards any of their airfields we aren't currently trashing, revealing their locations to us.

>>6820968

if the enemys sensble, sure, but ripping up the airfields will help stop them anyway, as thay wont have anywhere to oprate out of. if you can hit both, extra credit.

given the scale of the attacks, i think its best the keep the unit together. shell the landing grounds with the arty zeon whilst we and ringo take out the planes.

It's been a half hour. I'm not sure OP is still here.

>>6821000
The fact that we don't know where the airfields are is why we wait until they've landed to hit the first wave of Feddies. If we hit them in the air, they can break off and run towards some other airfield, or just try to draw us away. Once we see where they've landed, we'll know where the airfields are and we can tear them to pieces.

>>6820968
The aircraft are coming in from Canada and landing at the hidden airfields. So any planes that are still airborne when we hit the fields are probably planes that are low on fuel and munitions and about to land, not planes that are heading out for another strike against our men.

>I suggest that we wait to start the attack until the enemy aircraft are on the ground. Each of our suits hits one airfield, then moves on to another one. That lets us hit the airfields as fast as possible, and aircraft on the ground are nowhere near as much of a problem as aircraft in the air.

You all requisiton Dodai's and board a Gaw.

It takes three hours of flight to reach Iowa. You outline the plan to the rest of 321 Company, Captain Montagu agrees with the plan.

The Zaku's will deploy in secret and follow the airplanes until they land, they'll escape detection by flying nape of the earth on Dodai's, using the still fairly high minovsky density in the area to avoid radar.

The Dopps will harrass the planes and keep tabs on them, and when the Zaku's attack they'll move in to finish the job.

Can we busy ourselves during the flight with studying tactics on how to kill planes?

We've been kind of sucking in that area.

>>6821048
Sounds good.

>>6821048
Hey, I'm just curious. Are we a newtype? You mentioned something that suggested it when the Efreei Kai was brought up.

Agreed. If we hit the first wave on the ground, it'll limit the options of the others, showing them up for us. No pilot wants to land on a debris-strewn rnway, Ever.

>>6821009
Depends on how many airfields there are. The biggest priority is making sure that none of those planes can take off again once they reach Iowa, so I think we'll at least want to crater the runways at as many of the airfields as possible before we start focusing on one at a time to thoroughly destroy. Otherwise, the incoming Feddies will be able to land, refuel, rearm, and take off from any airfields that we left untouched because we didn't split up at first.

Oh, and one really dickish idea: do we have any captured Feddie transports available? If we do, I say we use those and come in along the same flight path that the Feddies are using in order to take the fields by surprise. If we get really lucky, we can even land and unload right on the tarmac.

>>6821092
I'm not so sure that we are, but I'm pretty certain Zolo is.

>>6821110
Either that or... Actually, there is no other explanation I can think of.

>>6821048
So what happens next?

You arrive in Iowa and the entire Battalion makes a combat drop onto a selected landing zone where the Dodai's are waiting.

You are working to a tight schedule so you all quickly mount up and fly off. The battalion seperates into squads to hunt down individual airbases.
The minovsky density isn't so bad that you can't get garbled radio signals out, but guided weapons and radar wont work all that well, so you're sensing units with thermal sensors only.

In the distance you see the onrushing horde, the skies seems to darken with what appears to be oncoming clouds.

"Oh shit man..." Say's Zolomon

"This plan of your's seemed a lot better before those thunder clouds moved in..."

You peer more closely through your telescopic sensors.

"Uh, Zolomon? THOSE AREN'T THUNDER CLOUDS."

Incoming fighters have sufficient number to partially blot out the sun. At least 1 full divisions worth, more likely two.

Harrassing and following will be the best your Dopp pilots will be able to do against a force of that size.

SURVIVAL IS PARAMOUNT TO NOT GETTING SPOTTED.
YOUR ORDERS?

>>6821110

Or he's so good at mental physics comptations that he can accurately predict how the heat hawks distort thrir aerodynamics. Well, that's what /he/ said, at least.

>>6821075
The tactics for killing planes are as follows:
1) If not a Newtype, let the computers do the targeting.
2) If a Newtype, use mind bullets.

We may want to pass the idea of a Flak Zaku up the chain of command, though. Make it the Zeon version of the German 88 from WWII; an anti-aircraft weapon that can also tear apart anything on the ground without heavy armor. Probably would involve lots and lots of autocannons.

So currently, do we want to engage these planes ourselves? Or are trying to remain hidden? I've been up for about 30 hours, so I'm pretty tired.

>>6821133

Get to cover. Now.

Order the squad to lay low until they blow over and start to land. STRICT MOVEMENT DISCIPLINE.

Then contine the plan once most of that shit is on the ground.

>>6821161

That's what the Magella AA Cannons Zakus carry are for. Also, the Zaku Cannon variant, one of which we have in the squad.

>>6821099
Are there any rivers nearby to duck into or tree cover to use to skulk about? Use that.

>>6821161
So basically,

Primary: Anti air
Secondary: Anti personnel

>>6821099
Fuck, sorry about that.

"I smell a target-rich environment, boys!"

Try not to get fucking spotted before those aircraft start into their landing patterns. As soon as they do, follow whatever vectors they're on and get on with the plan.

Do we know if those aircraft fought their way through our lines or snuck through, by the way? If the former, then they're almost certainly low on fuel and even lower on ammo; if the latter, they're going to be more of a threat.

If the former, have the Dopps get behind that formation and start attacking it. With a formation that thick, the Feddies probably can't evade without crashing into each other.

>>6821133
So let's try to avoid getting spotted.

>>6821170
We can't wait until most of it is on the ground. Unless the hidden airfields are either fucking gigantic or there's a lot of them, the Feddies aren't going to be able to land everything at once. By the time the second wave lands, the first wave will have to be back in the air to clear space on the tarmac.

>>6821225
>SURVIVAL IS PARAMOUNT TO NOT GETTING SPOTTED.
>Incoming fighters
>sufficient number to partially blot out the sun

So we want to hide.

So where can we hide around here? Barns? Other buildings? Junk we can pile under? Large fields of wheat? Rivers? Trees? Anywhere?

We'll either get real fucking famous or do a lot of dying today.

If they are in a hurry to refuel I'm guessing it will be like when the Japs left a lot of fuel and munitions out on their carriers at...Midway?

Yeah, cracker grenades and artillery on those airfields and watch the chainreaction take care of business.

>Try not to get fucking spotted before those aircraft start into their landing patterns. As soon as they do, follow whatever vectors they're on and get on with the plan.

>f the former, have the Dopps get behind that formation and start attacking it. With a formation that thick, the Feddies probably can't evade without crashing into each other.

Although you can't radio the Dopps over this distance they get the idea and begin making brief hit and run raids against the air formations.
They take a modest toll in enemy airforces, and the air forces seem unwilling to persue and deal with the wolves at their heels.

You land the Dodai's as they fly overhead. They soon start to split up into small groups. Each heading in different directions, you pick the nearest, remount and start to follow the enemy.

>>6821252
If they had to fight their way through the front lines, they probably used a lot of ammo. A formation that thick can't dodge effectively to avoid getting shot at. And if the Dopps start hitting it from behind, that'll create enough chaos in the air that they won't be able to see the Dodais on the ground.

Remember, radar is borked in this area, so they're relying on IR sensors (which I don't know if the aircraft have) or the Mark One Eyeball (not great for spotting shit on the ground when you're trying to avoid getting blown out of the sky by other aircraft.

Think of the Dopps as killer whales and the Feddie planes as a giant ball of herring; just keep sweeping back through the middle after forcing the formation to tighten up by hitting the edges.

>>6821251

Unless, of course, this /is/ the first wave in its entirety. Which is a fucking scary thought.

Also there are multiple airfields. Four or five decent-sized airfields can accomodate a division well enough.

Oh, this is going to be bad...

>>6821289
Yeah, it was Midway.

Although a better example for this particular scenario would be what the Israelis did to the Arab airfields at the start of the Six-Day War. Runway cratering, then tearing the trapped aircraft to pieces.

>>6821299

If there are more than 3 Airfields, make sure everyone has secondary airfields earmarked. We don't want to miss any.

Also seconding setting up chain reactions on the airfields where possible. We don't have infinite ordnance, after all.

You follow the enemy down to a concealed dirt runway with what looks to be camoflaged hangars. It looks to be converted farm.

Some flights have landed (mostle Saberfish and Fly Manta's) and a fair majority have yet to land. You can see the fuel tenders moving up to begin rapid refueling.

There is a decent chance that some air forces will have taken off before all of this section of planes land.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6821386
Shoot fuel and use crackers to f*ck the landing strips.

>>6821386
As soon as the fuel tenders actually start the refueling, hit the runway. If we've got multiple weapons, use the heavy stuff to hit the runway while simultaneously using the light stuff on the fuel tenders.

Once the runway is unusable and the planes can't take off, use our heat rod, axes and whatever other melee stuff we have to start demolishing everything else. Use ammo only on stuff that we can't melee into oblivion.

>>6821386
Throw the Cracker Grenades into the runway to mess up the aircraft that have yet to land. Then light up the fuel trucks with some shots from the MG. For starters.

>>6821386
Aim for the fuel tanks. Blow up fuckloads of the airfield with that.

Then split with one of us strafing the field to finish it off, including any downed planes that survive the fuel tank explosions, while the other two focusing on those still in the air.

>>6821386

I'd say hit it just before planes start taking off. Keeps things on the ground, and aircraft with low fuel fight more conservatively (read as: Less likely to be able to kill you) than ones that are freshly resupplied.

Again, if we can blast the fuel tanks while a bunch of aircraft are hooked up to them? Saves ammo, causes confusion, looks awesome, fits our MO.

>>6821430
And, just as important, to keep any aircraft that have landed from taking off.

The most fun part is that once we take out the runways at all of the airfields, any surviving Feddie planes in the air are doomed. If they can't land, they can't refuel, and I doubt they packed enough gas for a round trip.

>>6821440
Ignore the ones still in the air. Once all of the airfields are unusable, they're dead anyway. We want to make sure that any that do land never get to take off again.

>>6821460
Then again, this is Iowa, and the fields, while rough, are pretty flat.

Also, the regular streets and highway for emergencies. It's not likely that any that don't land here will crash, but some probably would fuck up trying to land somewhere unconventional and go down in flames.

Open fire, spray and pray.

>>6821417
>>6821426
>>6821430
>>6821440
>>6821445
>>6821460
>>6821471
Do this, while yelling "THIS IS NO ZAKU, BOY! NO ZAKU!"

So strategy for the airfield is taken care of.

Against the mass of planes still in the air, let's try getting to a higher altitude than them, and tossing crackers onto large clusters below us.

>>6821487
Granted. But if they land somewhere that doesn't have avgas, they still aren't taking off again.

>>6821495

Yes. We must do that until someone tries to strangle us for it.

>>6821426
No heat rod yet. This Gouf is still a prototype. The B type has the heat rod.

>>6821504
Sensible. But I have another idea.

Use our heat rod/whip thing to grab onto one of the Feddie aircraft, then start swinging from aircraft to aircraft using that. Almost like Cirque du Soleil, except with exploding planes and dying Feddies.

>>6821511
Wait, it doesn't? Damn, there went my awesome idea.

>>6821541
Sad isn't it?

>As soon as the fuel tenders actually start the refueling, hit the runway. If we've got multiple weapons, use the heavy stuff to hit the runway while simultaneously using the light stuff on the fuel tenders.

>Once the runway is unusable and the planes can't take off, use our heat rod, axes and whatever other melee stuff we have to start demolishing everything else. Use ammo only on stuff that we can't melee into oblivion.

You wait until the last minute. Taking time to try and identify fuel tanks and key control buildings. Then, just as the first wing of fighters moves to take off, you strike.

Your first Bazooka shot takes out the fuel tenders, large explosion illuminates the area, you second shot takes out the Airfields fuel supplies, catching the area in a massive explosion.
Meanwhile your wingmates, using a combination of 180mm Cannon bombardment and MG fire to take out the fully fueled planes about to take off.

More explosions devestate the area you quickly speed into the area and take advantage of the chaos to make more kills.
You destroy the comms tower with your last Bazooka shot. Several more planes scatter in different directions trying to escape.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6821563
Well, maybe we got the one with a prototype heat rod?

*prays in OP's direction"

If the airfield is destroyed enough to consider it a success for the time being, move to a higher altitude and fire on the planes in the air from above, going for mass area attacks. Bazooka, crackers, etc.

shoot the fuel tenders, have the arty zaku rip up the airfield, take out everything on the ground, then hit for cover once the strips unusable.

>>6821569

Move to the next airfield. Rinse. Repeat.

Also notify the dopps that there are confused, low-on-fuel targets of opportunity buzzing around over here.

>>6821569
Are there airfields that haven't been reduced to rubble?

If so, move on to those. Put a parting shot/axe/SHINING GOUF FINGER into wherever they keep the runway repair equipment before we go.

We'll come back and reservice this target once we give the others the Sherman treatment.

bah, late and lame

hit cover, and see if we can find the next airfield. follow the group, as thay might be heading for a pre-prepaired B field.

>>6821569
Go to next airfield, try to keep from being seen.

>If the airfield is destroyed enough to consider it a success for the time being, move to a higher altitude and fire on the planes in the air from above, going for mass area attacks. Bazooka, crackers, etc.

>Move to the next airfield. Rinse. Repeat.

You leave the fleeing fighters to the Dopps and attempt to spot the next landing zone. You hear the rumble of distant explosions the north, revealing what appears to be a large scale battle. You can also see what looks to be ineffectuall AA fire from the ground evidently this airfield is little better constructed.

You can see several other plumes of smoke rising from various directions. You gun the engines of your Dodai's and move on to assist.

>>6821575

Nope. No heat rod until Ramba Ral get's the MS-07B prototype. All gouf models before that lack the heat rod.

When we get to the airfield use some crackers as a first wave attack.

Then bazookas/MG to clean up.

>>6821668
If we've got reloads on board, fill back up on bazooka rounds and 'nades. No sense going in without our ammo topped off if we can avoid it.

>>6821668
So we're going to the more heavily defended one? If so, get reay to fight, make sure to reload.

>>6821668

Keep eyes open for any undiscovered airstrips while we're on the way, too. Just have the dodais drop bombs on them and keep moving if we do see any, though.

If possible, instead of landing and unloading, we have the Dodai pull up hard as we jump out, putting us on a high-speed ballistic trajectory towards the airfield.

Gun it to the airfield trying to move fast enough to negate the AA. If the flak gets too much tell Jolyne to give us a smokescreen. When we get in range take out the defensive emplacements first, then mop up.

>>6821697

Reload as a matter of course and swoop through the densely packed fighters, and make a strike at the airfield.
AA fire crazes around you forcing you away, but your able to make a lucky hit against a fuel tanker as you turn, spewing flame and black smoke into the air.
You aren't sure if the explosion took out any landed planes. You are pretty sure you gave the airfield a good pasting though.

As you all broke off, you were forced in different directions unfortuantely and you all have to fend for yourself for a few minutes.

You pull out your MG and begin to fire at the enemy. In the dense, target rich environent you quickly make kills, but with all of the fire zipping around you have to dart and junk with your Dodai.

Luckily for you, the smoke from the fuel explosion is making air targets harder to spot, so the ground AA isn't as bad anymore.

You take burst of light MG fire on the chest with no damage, and manage to block a missile with your shield. Looks like those designers back in Cali weren't lying about the improved armour and agility.

You're able meet back up with your squad in mid-air. Jolyne seems fine but Zolomon's Zaku and his Doday are scuffed up here and there, with the occaisional dent.

Zol: 7 Planes
Jolyne: 8 Planes

You are currently in the middle of a giant furball, you can continue fighting or you can finish off the airbase.
Or any other good idea you have.

YOUR ORDERS?

Focus on the ground. We can't let anymore planes into the air.

>>6821792
Kill airbase. Land if you have to to avoid AA fire.

>>6821792

How's the rest of the battalion doing? Dopps are better designed for AA combat, but if there's any squads in trouble and reinforcing, we should move to reinfoce them.

If everyone's okay, thaen probably the best option is to go hunt down more currently-unengaged airfields.

Well, we could do both.
We can hop off the Dodais and take out the AA emplacements while the Dodais crater the airstrip and wreck the facilities.

>>6821792

hit the airfield. if we can ruin all three airfields, then the aircraft a ballsed. hit the airfields hard.

>>6820173

>We can hop off the Dodais and take out the AA emplacements while the Dodais crater the airstrip and wreck the facilities.

>>6821831

You order a LANO drop and immiediately leap off your Dodai's. You use the drop to reload your Bazooka, your wingmates fire give covering fire with their MG's.

(YOU HAVE NO FURTHER BAZOOKA RELOADS)

You land almost comfortably, the extra torque and reduced weight of the Gouf making it ideal for this sort of maneouver.
You'r opening shot is aimed at an AA emplacement. It swiftly goes up in the explosion.

You see Jolyne take out another gun with her Back Cannon and Zolomon another with his axe.
He dives backwards to avoid a shot from a Type-61 tank, and then hurls his axe at it, taking it out.

You spend the next couple of minutes making the Airfield unusuable with your MG and Jolyne's Cannon.

Several of the planes above you have started to drop out of the sky due to lack of fuel.
It makes a 'fun' game of trying to dodge the failing planes as they begin to rain down from the sky.

Several of them eject from their planes and a few minutes later the Airbase command structer surrenders to you.
Not that they had much of a choice staring down the barrell of your Zook.

Of course they might have felt differently had they know the thing was empty.

>The mobile suit itself was exactly the same as the standard RGM-79[G], except it was painted in an olive drab paint scheme for camouflaging purposes.
>the GM's power generator couldn't produce, and the rifle was connected via cable to an external power supply and cooling system on a support vehicle.

You got me.

>>6821997
Now, the fun part: figuring out how to paint two airfields onto the side of our new Gouf.

>>6822008

Oh, hey little brother. How's things?

>>6821997

Get a stirep on the rest of the company. Given we're a Lieutenant, we need to have some idea of what's going on overall.

Well, let's reload, get more bazooka reloads if we can from somewhere, leave the airfield in capable Zeon hands, and head for the third.

>>6821997
>Of course they might have felt differently had they know the thing was empty.

I believe the term is 'Improvised Melee Devise'.

>>6822055
More like improvised OH MY GOD IT'S A GIGANTIC ROBOT FIST ABOUT TO SMASH MY SHIT UP!

>>6822055
>Devise
I meant Device.

>>6822066
No, no. The proper term in this case is SHINING GOUF FINGER!

>>6822042
I met Gundam the other day. He was a pretty cool guy. He asked me if I wanted to hang out sometime, just the two of us, all alone.

>>6821997

if the ammos situtions dire, we should hold here. we cant take out any more bases without more ammo, and missle lanchers out of stuff to shoot. plus the hits are having the desired effects.

plus intel.

>>6822050

The air forces either land and surrender or just eject and let their planes crash.
Another squad of beat up Zaku's land next to you. You recognise their leader as Captain Montagu.

"Good work Lt. It looks like they were stretched to bingo fuel, and couldn't afford to put up a fight. We still managed to lose two whole squads from 3rd Company however. I've gotten word that they were able to take out the air field before they went though. From what we've been able to gather less than two full squadrons have been able to take off and escape."

"Looks like today was a good day, the Feds have almost certainly lost large amounts of their airforces in the canadian area. It wont be long before we take that area now. Of course we wouldn't have even know about these hidden airfields if it wasn't for intel assets in the field. Guess I can't make any cracks about Zeonic Military Intelligence for a while huh?"

The battle is largely winding to close.

>>6822150
High fives and promotions all around!

>>6822150
Two squadrons, huh?

Can we take them down?

Although I do wonder what the point of this clusterfuck was for the Feddies; there must have been some reason why they felt that now was the time to reveal all of these hidden airfields. What important targets or quiet sections of the front are within range of the fields we just pounded?

Ask the Capt. if there have been rumors of any fighter pilots pulling off ridiculous stunts or making trouble for our boys. Also see if you can bum some ammo. Finally check in with the squad and see if they are having any problems.

>>6822268
Yeah, ask around for word on if any exquisitely gifted pilots, or any more Federation mobile suits have been spotted. Anywhere.

Also, since we're Lt. now, congratulate our forces on a job well done.

>>6822312

Indeed. Morale is important, so congrats and high-fives are in order.

>>6822150
Send a report of the Gouf's awesome preformance to the manufacturer. See if we can requisition a Heat Sword.

>>6822150

To be fair, the feddies didn't realise that Zeon KNEW about the secret landing zones in Iowa. If they hadn't then they would have picked an area to attack them with which had more cover.

But since they knew that they would be landing in the area AND that they would be on bingo fuel (which was the real intelligence coup for the zeonic spy network) then they could stage this raid, prevent the enemy from landing safely and deal with vast numbers of enemy forces.

In the aftermath of the battle, your forces return to california. The tech boys seem pleased with your reports on how the Gouf handled in combat, and Jolyne's proven herself a good member of the team. Scoring over twenty kills in her first mission with you.
Not that it wasn't a target rich environment, but still.

You've also managed to cement your position as an Ace with 321 Company, which is always good.

TO BE CONTINUED

>>6822370
Nice. Thanks for the fun, Apologized.

>>6822370
3.2.1. Let's jam.

we must all be like, septuple aces by now. you only need give kills to ace...tho to be an ms ace, i think its only fair if its MS to MS

I guess we blew the Feddies away.

also,

SIEG ZEON

>>6822468

Well, we have 1 kill in that regard, which puts us ahead of every other Zeon pilot around so far.

>>6822478
WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY

Who knows. At least this way when he throws one of his hawks away (And we know he will) he'll still have some serious means of retaliation.
