“Contact,” the head sonarman says, his voice low and intense. “Yeah. Right... there.” A shaded cone appears on the tactical display, widening from your boat's position and covering a narrow part of the ocean four nautical miles away. “Hole in the water.”

“Confidence?”

“Pretty sure,” he says. “I've focused on that spot the last two times bombs went off on the surface duct with three out of four arrays.” He shows you the plots, four spikey graphs, and taps the fourth, which is higher. “This one I aimed away a few degrees. Seven, eight decibels louder, at least.”

I'm assuming for now this is the stealthier option; and there's no reason to hog kills. Why break cover when there are other assets in position to smoke that sub?

It's unlikely the ASW aircraft are going to be participating in the air battle anyways. I'm not sure, but it might even be quicker than Mk. 48s, on account of the plane/helicopter being able to drop literally right on top of him.

You contemplate your options. You've got a good shot now, and if the enemy can attack you with wire-guided torpedoes, the task-force is already in range.

Of course, that was also true before the motherfucker decided to shoot at you, personally.

You turn to your steely-eyed XO. “What's the call?”

He almost looks suprised, but hides it well. “Pop a bouy. If they don't drop fish on him within four minutes, we smoke that fucker ourselves.

“Don't think he's interested in the task force if he can nail us, eh?”

He nods. “And four minutes will let us narrow him down real good.”

Message bouys are simple devices – a little radio transmitter with a battery that takes a pre-recorded message and broadcasts it at a set time, letting a sub send radiograms without needing to surface. With a muted hiss of the signal ejector it's away, floating quietly for the surface. When it reaches the surface you and the XO both consult your watches, waiting.

Three minutes later the sonarman sits up straight. “Fish in the water!” he reports. “Dropped it right on top of that sonofabitch!” You watch the tactical chart as the telltale symbol of a torpedo circling on active shows up. Air attack is the most effective weapon against a sub, in 1945 or 2015. With a torpedo hitting the water directly above there's no time to extend the chase, to try and outrun or energy-defeat the torpedo – it's all fast moving, desperate maneuvering.

Which the aybssal is doing now. “He's making thirty-three knots!” the sonarman reports. “Yeah, that was him, all right, right where we thought he was.”

Two tense minutes pass.

“Impact,” the sonarman says. “Detonation.” He takes his phones off. “We GOT the son-of-a-bitch, sir!”
A cheer goes up on the bridge.

“One down,” the XO whispers. “One to go.”

So it's got to be a Cold War sub, what with the wire-guided torpedo and the ridiculous speed it has.

Either that, or could it be that since a nuclear attack sub is in the AO, the Leveling Effect gave a WWII sub a bunch of upgrades?

Generally, they'd be given different sectors. You can also classify contact by sound. So precise that they can identify the individual sub just by the sounds it makes.

>>41900536
You can roughly identify things by how they sound

But >>41900558

At this point, the only question is,

Did they lure out an attack because the local forces were an impediment to their plans (if they have any)?

Or did they just fight a battle for shits and giggles/muh anger and resentment?

Repeatedly over and over again when I was younger.

Like I said, probably wrong about it being Rafale.

I'll even concede it's likely SUPPOSED to be an F-14 but the artist was clearly doing it more for the dork than the F-14's and the awkward positioning makes my eye twitch.

The loli wipes out the multiway melee, but leading up to that, the Japanese forces wipe out several teams of CIA with absolute impunity.

This is the page that precedes the amusing-out-of-context line "THE ONLY COUNTRY WITH BLACK MEN AMONG THEIR AGENTS IS THE UNITED STATES".

This individual instance CAN be explained away with "home field advantage", sure, but the way the Japanese as a whole flawlessly thwart everything foreign powers attempt adds up, becoming more and more obvious as the story progresses.

It's painfully one-sided writing. It's okay to have the opposition make some unexpected progress, only to have the heroes win victory by the skin of their teeth in the end. It's not okay to simply have anyone and everyone associated with the heroes' side steamroll the enemy, because that makes the audience wonder what the fuck the heroes are for, then, if any bunch of good-guy average joes can helicopter-dick all over the enemy without a scratch.

>>41901550
That's more you having a stick up your arse than anything else. Rory diesn't actually *do* all that much compared to the JSDF itself, and actively works against them later when the gate closes.

Dude that is literally the wankiest fucking part of that shit. First things first, the entire manga/animu/LN is about modern tech being ludicrously effective against high fantasy bullshit, you don't just get to ignore your primary themes for the purpose of nationalist wankery. Secondly, if you think for one second that in that situation with the portal that the US wouldn't just come in and take it, you really haven't been paying attention. Finally, if for whatever reason the US let them have the portal and that situation came about if you really think that the Gov't wouldn't send the rangers the green berets or Delta, or the Special Activities Division or ya know, people trained in this shit, you both underestimate the importance of unspoiled resources and the ability of the government to get those people on the ground in under 24 hours.

All eyes in the CIC turn to watch the P-8s make their run.

Your second strike wave was hard to endure – dive-bombing attacks historically suffered from heavy cloud cover, and with only clear skies to work with the fucking abyssals decided to make their own. Pulling together into a tight formation that maximized their AA defense, they began laying smoke from every ship in the task force. Steaming away from the southern wind, still closing with their returning planes, the smoke was blown over them. As you learned at LA, darkness likes abyssals, and abyssals like darkenss. The blessing was that the thick smoke impeded their own AA fire; a few destroyers and gunboats operating outside the escort screen was able to spot them incoming, but a simple barrier barrage, no matter how thick, is useless once you've run the gauntlet. Some of them dove steeply through the barrage and executed shallower glide-bomb attacks from lower level, others whethered the course and picked whatever they could see, targeting blind by wakes. The infa-red camera on the Global Hawk has problems as it usually does with abyssals, but it can at least pick out the carriers through the smoke cover – and as far as you can tell, they weren't hit.

The P-8s, however, carry SLAM-ERs with infa-red imagers of their own that can see right through smokescreens. They're your last, best chance of turning the damaged carriers into dead ones. They come in low and fast, avoiding detection till they're only a few miles away; the pilots leaving nothing to chance when attacking abyssals. They wait till the fleet puts the first salvo of 5-inch AA into the barrage box before launching and turning for home, knowing the abyssals have already dialed in their fire control solution. Twelve missiles come screaming through the sky, and everyone holds their breath as they seek out their targets.

Because they're mostly third world countries with angry screaming dictators. Not first world nation ALLIES.

The US would scream bloody murder if the government tried to invade Japan.

It's ok to like shitty things. Just don't try to defend them as not being shit.
