The Hornet drivers flip through HUD modes to LGB release mode; locking their LITENING-II pods designators on the tiny patch of ocean the Corsairs flickering orange tracers are licking at. They pickle a pair of bombs each; four fighters engaging four contacts, their near 90-degree dives guaranteeing a near hit even if abyssal interference hinders the laser guidance. You hear the pilots grunting into their mics as they pull out hard, skimming over the waves seconds ahead of their ordinance. The 500 pound bombs are on short contact fuzes; they detonate a fraction of a second after slamming into the water, detonating around 80 feet down, just the right depth to catch a sub at periscope depth beginning a hasty crash-dive. Towering columns of spray climb into the air as the F-18s zoom-climb and loop over the top, lazily taking up station over CV-9.

“W-what,” she stammers, obvious shock in her voice. Kaga winces - she knows exactly what's going through Essex's mind.

“Essex, do your aircraft have a visual on oil slicks, or debris, or anything?”

“Uh, I, uh - let me ask?”

“You do that.”

A pause. “One oil slick, but not very big; I think you just winged that one!”

Why are tripping as NAVY Deme? Is it so he can be first no matter what?

“We're vectoring additional aircraft now,” you reassure her. The tracks of multiple Mitsubishi-built Seahawks are converging on the new, tentative icon just placed by a CIC geek to indicate CV-9s location.

“OH GOD ADMIRAL SHUFFLE THERE'S A LOT OF 'EM!”

The F-18 cockpit cams show worlds in rotation; the HUD ladder whipping by as the horizon flashes past. A spate of soft chimes announce the addition of new surface contacts picked up by the Hornet's radars. Though the cockpit cam (really a gun camera, looking through the HUD) doesn't show it, the Hornets are putting their LITENING pods to work on the new arrivals.
“Sweet Jesus-” one pilot breathes.

“Oh, fuck me,” another opines.

“What does that mean in the Queen's English!?” the task force commander demands.

“Uh, they're...”

“... small,” the second element leader offers. “Even small for a humanoid. Suggest classification as corvettes or torpedo boats.”

A second later the little yellow skunk icons change to red ones, with “MTB” tacked onto their symbols; tentative course tracks showing them closing on Essex at high speed.

“Essex, what's your gun power?”

“Enormous!”

“Details, hun, details!”

“Four five-inchers on each broadside and scads of twin-seventy-sixes!”

Goto raises an eyebrow in query, but you just shrug and mouth “post-war.” The 76mm twin-mounts replaced the Bofors as AA mounts shortly after the war, but you don't know jack about the Essex class's history past that - aside from the numerous massive refits they received over decades of service, the details of which elude your memory.

“-do I do smuttle, almost all my planes are over Iwo already!”

“Wait one, Essex, I've got-”

“ADMIRAL SHUTTLE, *DO* SOMETHING!”

You tune her out to focus on the task force commander. “Sorry commander, please repeat?”

“Those Hornet drivers are begging for permission to engage with guns,” he says. “What's your read on the risk of that?”

“... uh-”

“I don't have all day, Settle. You've got more first-hand experience with this Leveling Effect BS than anyone. What's the risk?”

Lots of leetle boolets, albeit with little direction, means flying through a spot of lead rain. Not healthy for Hornets, but any damage will be a few lucky holes in the fuselage rather than concerted fire. Unlikely to cause a total loss, but could put a Bug out of the fight that might be needed on Iwo later. They've pickled two of their bombs each already, how many do they have left?

Can anyone tell me about the comparison between the 40mm and the 76mm as a anti-aircraft.

The 3"/50RF guns had a rate of fire that matched the 40mm Bofors, longer range, and VT fuses. They were specifically designed to counter kamikazes and Fritz-X guided bombs as drop-in replacements for the Bofors (single mounts for Bofors twins, and twin mounts for Bofors quads).

They were BETTER AA guns than the Bofors, amazingly.

>I remember early war ships were equipped with 76mm but shifted to the more rapid fire 20-40mm or am I wrong and also if I am correct what changed?
You qualify as both.

Pre-war/early war there were a bunch of three inch guns, but they were shit. So they decided to use faster firing, lower caliber better guns. Unfortunately, 40mm rounds can't disintegrate kamikaze attacks, so they redid the 76mm guns to fire faster and be accurate with RADAR MASTER RACE.

Let me put it this way.

A SINGLE 3"/50 RF gun barrel is the equivalent of EIGHT 40mm Bofors, or two quadruple mounts.

I also shoots further, trains faster and has the most advanced radar fire control system ever designed for an anti-aircraft gun of that type at the time it enters service. It fires a 24 pound VT fused shell roughly every second, for a total of 50 rounds every minute. each shell is capable not only of shooting down an enemy aircraft, but completely destroying it.

And that's just one gun.

Essex has a lot more than one gun.

>>44471578

Starting to wonder if the whole "They tried to send me back" thing Naka mentioned about her summoning might not actually have worked in part. Some of her got sent back. That's why she's had that much more difficulty from the start. (Or is the whole 'not healing right' new and she used to heal okay before?) Would also explain where her Abyssal counterpart comes from; it's 'grown' from what part of her got ripped out and sent back.

The whole trying too hard to be an idol and put up a front could be interpreted as attempting to compensate for the 'missing part' by embracing her humanity harder, not unlike what Iku is doing (in the Shoukek lewds piece posted earlier), but with no satisfactory result in the end.

Personally, I'd launch a probing strike first, commit on a second wave once we see what they can do. There's too much up in the air--the abyssals cheat hard.

The real problem with an A-10 on a carrier isn't take-off or landing - fucker's rugged enough that you could beef up the gear for launch and recovery without too much trouble - it's more the issue of finding space to store that big bitch with its non-folding wings.

Anyway, writing, wait warmly, etc.

"An F/A-18 can land on a Japanese aircraft carrier that actually got sunk in world war two but came back to life because magic - because the airframe is carrier based - despite the fact that there's about 50 years of development difference between the two. But saying an A-10 could feasibly be launched from a modern aircraft carrier is just TOO UNREALISTIC"

Magic is amazing, and an A-10 could indeed (theoretically) be launched from a modern aircraft carrier.

However, as PF pointed out, you still have to fit the damn thing on/in the carrier to deploy it.

It's not about crazy, anon. It's about stupid.

When I was in Okinawa those fuckers would buzz the line of the no-fly zone all the time. The no fly zone, by the way, was a major Okinawan residential area.

As if the Marines didn't cause enough shit on that island, their pilots have fly patterns that deliberately piss people off.

>>44472925
Not even close. Cobras have more fire power, but they don't maneuver like Kiowas. Though they're both eclipsed by Little Bird pilots.

>telegraf isn't canon

Prepare to be wrong on that one, buddy.

>>44473076
Telegraf is.

German boats incoming.

>>44472997
Yeah, but I'm an Aggie and as such must watch it. Sides which, my wife is an even more hardcore fan than I am. I'm not really a fan to begin with.

“So-so,” you reply after a moment's consideration. “They pack a lot of light AA in a tiny space and the Leveling Effect's gonna wipe out any generational gaps in your closure speed, but director-less guns weren't that great even in the forties.”

“Good enough for me,” he says with a verbal shrug before switching channels. “Home Guard, you are cleared to engage surface contacts at your discretion.”

The F-18s are already arrowing for the deck before he's spoken the third word, holding their throttles back, picking up speed from gravity alone. They level out over the deck and nudge towards military power, spreading out to take a PT boat each from differing angles. The roving gun pippers vanish, the wobbly, snaking lines of the gun funnel appearing in their place - they've switched off their radars to avoid detection. The little crosses indicating the dead zero float towards the tiny black dots of the incoming PT boats. The picture vibrates slightly as they kick into afterburner for the final stretch. The firing run is brief; a licking tongue of flame that lashes past incoming shells, big glowing tracers trailing smoking contrails as they spear past.

I don't believe it.

>>44473093
It doesn't matter who we capture, we're just going to dissect it anyway.

>>44473104
its been stated many times that it is canon.

Then they're past; screaming away over the deck as their sonic booms detonate right over their targets; a nice going-away present. They extend away before pitching back for steep vertical reversals, coming in for another run.

“We've got eyes-on,” one of the techs reports in your ear, and soon a new feed is available on the CICs main screen - a close-up of the new arrival. She's already being engaged by the leading PT boats; the miniature five-inch guns on her legs lofting heavy shells towards the incomings. The creatures are reminiscent of the shark-nosed abyssal destroyers you're familiar with, only in miniature; the wispy blue eyeglow streaming back over slick carapaces as they charge in at full throttle, white foaming wakes and faint trails of oilsmoke testifying to their raw speed. The five-inch shell splashes rise in great white columns around them as they weave between the clumsy blows with ease; but when the twin three-inchers open up the sky fills with explosions; ugly black puffs of proximity-fuzed AA detonating close over the water's surface, showering the oncoming attack craft with shrapnel. Some of Essex's guns have switched out their ready bins to HE, as evidenced by the quick flurry of white shell-splashes appearing around the leading hostiles, but it's already too late - as the drone's operator zooms in for a better look, you see the first fish leaving their tubes.

[ ] Advise Essex to turn away - she might outrun them and it'll offer a much narrower target to the spreads. Help is on its way!
[ ] Advise Essex to turn away from the attack and accelerate, but don't shadow her broadside guns - her best defense lies in reducing the fish that make it into the water at all!

Speaking of feelthy's smut, is he going to write more?

Out for the night, folks. Have a good night and try not to let the story posts disrupt the arguing too much, eh?

On a more serious note, you guys made my night with >>44471578, I'm really happy someone caught it.

Guns aren't very effective at detonating torpedoes
