“Come on!” you sneer, summoning the rapidly disspating dregs of your steam, scraping the bottoms of your boilers for the energy - but there's no more. Spent, you can only pant and drag your sword up, inch by inch, every last millimeter gained an agony as you struggle to traverse on manual. “COME ON, OR I'LL KILL YOU!”

You see those hard saphhires shift; the chin lifting as they look over you - and at Tatsuta. Something deep within snaps; the sharp, hot agony of something vital deep within you breaking - but you seize that heat and *use* it, driving yourself forward in one last desperate charge, bellowing wrath at your foe. The muzzle of the pistol blurs, a line of fire slashing across your cheek.

“Cuh muh!” you snarl, fighting upwards, inch by inch, from the floor. “MUH! FIGHT MUH, YUH CUHWHUUUD!” You stare down the muzzle of his weapon, the cold, rounded nose of the bullet deep within visible - and you feel nothing but hot, angry impatience, *willing* his finger to constrict on the trigger, trying to compel him with your very spirit to continue engaging you, focus on you, and not your sister.

He's staring at you again, cold alabaster skin and gemstone soul impossible to read; as inscrutable and silent as a statue. Three, for, five fading heartbeats that seem to last forever.

The darkness behind him flares to life, bolts of fire screaming into the sky before they arch over and hurtle downward like meteors raining from heaven. He looks up at the incoming assault hurtling from the sky directly towards his face.

The last thing you remember is his smile.

Between this and the pinnaces Naka tore apart with her bare hands, I'd say it's pretty well confirmed that the Abyssals (at least some of them) WANT to die.

Wasn't there something in one of the Radio Free Vengeance writeups that suggested the Abyssals conscripting hulls that hadn't willingly answered the Voice Below? I bet that's probably what we're dealing with here.

Anywho, vote:

Not really. But it can be jarring as shit if you've had a few beers.

Back when 4chan was untamed and wild I'd go to /d/ regularly for sheer entertainment. Back then the balance of /d/ consisted of shit so fucking non-elucidian, wall-climbing, gibbering-goat STRANGE that you honestly couldn't tell if it had ever even been INTENDED as porn at any point in time. It just.. was. It was fucking fantastic. I've got a picture somewhere of a banana that has been peeled, and the top half of the revealed banana is the upper part of a small woman. Peeling yourself a bananna woman, yep, that was what the artist wanted to do.

Nowadays /d/ is just more of the same smut, but back in the day it was a goddman trip into the twilight zone, man.

Possibly. I think we're just at the point that Naka hinted at a few threads ago- everything is committed. The chance to make big changes has passed. I think this is about the best dispersion of forces we could have come up with, given the circumstances and the knowledge we had, but that's not always enough. If it wasn't Tenryuu and Tatsuta, KTKM and Ooi would have definitely bit it. And all the other ships in their other fights couldn't have been spared from those fights.

>People seriously think it's Tats that will survive
One got her chest blown out. The other got a bunch of smaller wounds then did the FADE TO BLACK WHILE THE SHIT IS INCHES AWAY FROM THE FAN.

>No more shitty Tatsuta roleplay, PEOPLE CAN DIE, but we've interacted with her less than her sister and it won't hit DesDiv6 as hard which would just fucking crush us but it does hit Tenryu hard, the sister we have bumped into before
Tats biting it is just nice and neat, plot wise.

They were Abyssalizing before we even knew what was happening to them. Shigure definitely had been abyssalizing for who knows how long before Settle showed up.

And I'm not sure Abyssalization is something that can be stopped by external factors. Slowed down maybe, but probably not stopped; that's something the ship have to do themselves.

The reactions of the Abyssal ships to the Torps was too fast. Distorting Tenryuu's perception is the mind fuckery.
Tenryuu charging the line well the only hope in hell Tatsuta had of surviving is if Tenryuu could damage or distract the Abyssals long enough for Tatsuta to get clear.but that went ot hell when Tatsuta passed out.

Or, the Abyssals were missing the first half of the salvos on purpose, in order to lure Tenryuu and Tatsuta closer.
The Abyssals can afford suicidal tactics like that because they're willing to sacrifice a boat or two for one of ours, and they had on their side the advantage of only being cruiser-sized thermal images and the cover of night/smoke to mask their true class.
They used plain old-fashioned deception and being willing to sacrifice more for what they want, not their usual teleportation and Leveling Effect cheating methods.

I wouldn't mind an uncorrupted Chuuniboat falling in love with Ruski-boat, that is if Ruski-boat turns out to be a bretty cool guy to fellow ships but doesn't like humanity for reasons.

The night sky blazes with fire as HTMS Naresuan and RSS Steadfast loose their birds, Sea Sparrows arching down from above like flaming arrows launched by bowmen of old. The two armored cruisers shudder under the violent impacts - the ESSMs your frigates are hurling benefiting from a new contact-fusing option specifically for attacking hardened targets like these. The warheads are small, and the penetration nil - but the cruisers heel around, their decks afire as the resounding echoes of the thrown gauntlet echo across the Strait.
To the south the Global Hawk is tracking Naka and Harder's painfully slow retreat northward - right towards the raging battle you might not be able to win. The hulking predreadnaught battleship has been wounded; at least some of the PT boat's light fish found their mark - it's listing slightly, but not enough to silence its main batteries, though its sluggish pursuit has slowed ever further. Perth and Houston are heeling about in a steep 360 degree turn, Perth taking the lead as they reverse their line to follow Naka out of the scrap to the north. Lekir and her escorting Spica are still playing slap-and-tickle with the western edge of the abyssal invasion fleet.

After almost forty minutes of strenuous, violent combat, the smoke from the older ships stacks, the burning ships and oil slicks, and the smoke from so many salvoes fired in a short time and tight space has laced the declining mist with darker, hotter hues. Even with all the wizardry of modern technology at your fingertips, “night action” and “clusterfuck” are still neighbors in the thesaurus.

“Surface Group,” you intone. “It's time. Your EMCON is now unrestricted!”

The two FFGs light up their combat radars; the track on the abyssal cruisers firming up almost instantly, the little uncertainty circles vanishing as the tactical plot begins updating their position every quarter-second. The abyssals return the favor, flicking on powerful spotlights that slash through the dissipating fog to the north of Sangiang island, where the night winds have finally picked up and started to clear the mists away. Separated by at least a hundred years of technology advancements, and yet their message is the same: square off and fight me, if you dare.

Naresuan and Steadfast fall into line astern formation, heeling about to sail north and parallel the CAs course. Selecting their opposite numbers in the enemy line, they begin to trade shells.

“Third salvo straddle,” Goto breathes as eight-inch shells thunder into the water, tall plumes of spray setting Naresuan's decks awash. “Damn good shots.”

As are the frigates. Their five-inch guns have likewise benefited from the lessons you learned at LA; they're equipped with modern armor-piercing rounds, and even some HESH-equipped shells. Their weapons bark and bark and bark, the staccato reports crashing across the water as each and every shot finds its mark with laser-like precision. The CAs plod on, their armor seemingly impervious to the light shells and missiles. Their gunnery is remarkably accurate,e and you know its only a matter of time before they put a shell on target.

The abyssals guns roar, and an ESSM leaps from Naresuan's VLS, arching over to detonate in a bright flash just off the ship's beam. Steadfast vanishes from sight behind a curtain of fire, blinding flares climbing high into the night as they wash out the enemies optics. Every time abyssal guns roar, at least one missile flits from a VLS to intercept their shells just short of the ship, the air-defense radars picking out which shells are on intercept trajectories within milliseconds of them leaving enemy gun barrels. The battered and worn CAs trudge onwards, not bothering to dodge what their armor can soak, devoting all their energies to pinning down the nimble frigates as they duck and weave through the shellfire, chasing salvoes and cloaking their movements with flares, chaff and plenty of ECM.

Naresuan's the first to firm up a good solution; loosing a brace of Harpoons. The weapons leap from their tubes on pillars of fire, arching slightly as they achieve good track and thunder in. The abyssal's tertiary cannons and pom-poms light the night with their last-ditch defense, but the weapons find their mark - arching gracefully down onto the thinner deck armor of their targets, the FLIR feed washing out as the fireballs climb high into the night. Her unwounded partner retaliates almost instantly, laying a salvo across Steadfast's stern. She lurches to one side when the guns thunder, a few more ESSMs lofting from her VLS, but the last round of 8-inch HE shells carried away her rudder stops, and she simply can't turn hard enough to dodge. One Sparrow misses, the second one finding its target - but the remaining shot smashes through the helipad, a horrible conflagration rising on the Steadfast's fantail as her avgas stores burn and burn. Two Harpoons thunder out of her tubes in reply, her Captain determined to use them before he loses them.

Naresuan is beginning to list, taking on water from multiple hull breaches and small leaks from close-misses abeam - but she's still fighting as well, firing two more Harpoons even as she leans into a hard port turn, heedless of the water her maneuver is forcing through rents in her hull as she makes to unshadow her starboard tubes. Mark 46s spring from the nimble triple launchers on your frigates as small green icons show up on the FLIR feed, drawing attention to the telltale bubble streams of submerged torpedo tubes loosing fish from the abyssal's sides.

They're tearing each other apart before your eyes, so swiftly that you can scarce keep track. Explosions roll and climb into the night sky, both battle-lines appearing and vanishing as they weave and duck through shreds of mist and drifting clouds of smoke. The frigates maneuver swift and sure, recklessly chasing salvos and dodging torpedoes as their counterparts stick close to one another, one unshadowing their broadside to cover their fellow as the other turns stern-on to flee incoming torpedoes.

You're vaguely aware that you're losing control of the situation - and terrified that there may be no retaining it, no matter how much you wish otherwise. The abyssal invasion fleet seems to have rallied - Naka is calling for help, Hate's PT boats circling and darting around her as they feint and dash towards anything that seems to look their way. Lekir is racing towards the western edge of the cloud of smoke and mist that now shrouds the invasion fleet; a viper's nest of death and lurking enemies in close quarters. From that quarter you glimpse order amongst the chaos; several sillouetes moving with singular purpose towards a common goal - DEs or corvettes closing for a torpedo attack on the fleeing cruisers. The abyssal cruisers have been hard used; you catch glimpses of the remaining ones, one or two attempting to give chase, and of course BB-4, still chasing the retreating Naka through the mist with long-range 12 inch salvos.

The vicious, violent duel between frigates and pocket battleships has finally finished. Steadfast and Naresuan are plodding away slowly, unable to make smoke, their ECM equipment offline, fires raging from stem to stern as damage-control crews fight desperately against the flames threatening to gut the shredded superstructures of their vessels. The abyssal cruisers are plodding along as well, not turning to pursue nor angling away to flee. Their stacks have been blast asunder; small fires littering their shattered superstructures and licking around the gaping wounds in their decks - it's a wonder they can make steam at all. Guns stick askew at wild angles from blasted turrets, and yet they have weapons left - a handful of their previous strength, but more than enough to finish the job on the battered frigates, fleeing with empty missile cells.

Through the dark night they sail, gun muzzles tracking the frigates - and yet they do not fire.

Perth and Houston are calling for help, now - their magazines are starting to run low after forty-five minutes of high-intensity battle, and their secondaries have been largely shattered by the battle-line duel earlier. Lekir and her paired Spica are fast, but they're some distance away and they might meet delays in the midst of the hostile fleet. Naka's just sobbing, begging, screaming, challenging, then sobbing again, gibbering like a madwoman.

They are all calling for help.
You eye the cold, silent muzzles of the armored cruisers, and make your call.

This is a hard decision, since it means either hitting the small and lethal DEs going for our shipgirls, or going after the (currently, silent) CAs that might kill hundreds of RSN sailors. But I think there might be a chance to save the RSN sailors, if we can kill those DEs.

Tough call, but... Perth and Houston are higher-value assets than the frigates, and there has to be a reason the CAs' secondary batteries have gone silent--maybe they're low on ammo, or maybe we killed their gun crews. Better to save the high-value cruisers and sacrifice the largely-destroyed frigates. Plus this way Naka and Harder have a chance of getting home alive. We've taken too many casualties already.

The fact is these assets are more important in the long run the FFGs, given Abyssal radar spoopyness and how useless it makes radar guidance and detection for non-ship-persons.

>>45912553

Pretty much all of them.

But remember, the magic realm of modern PGMs doesn't much apply because abyssals are dicks.
>>
>>45912512
So what? People die all the time, and their ships are so badly mangled that the time and resources spent repairing them make it too costly to be worth wasting additional resources on. More expensive to save them than to just let them sink.

We can build a new frigate and train a new crew, shipsluts are a bit harder to come by.

shit. I can see them turning back just to charge at the abyssals to let steadfast run for it.
>>

Considering how they acted before? Most likely trying to get Settle to commit to some action that favors the Abyssals, such as hitting the DE's; still means there's BB-4 and other cruiser Abyssal assets still on course to take out Harder, Naka, Perth, and Houston, while the armored cruisers now have nothing to worry about to execute Naresuan and Steadfast, before rejoining the rest of their fleet.

To be honest, the missile frigates are way more high value than Perth and Houston.

Yes, but supersonic dive-bombings with radar assist solve ALL the problems for those torn up, shot to shit, burning motherfuckers.

At least for the CAs, assuming the Hawks take the DEs first and the CAs aren't switching sides or some shit.

The blood of heroes has been shed today, we cannot let it be in vain. Protect whoever is still alive, then try to save the hulls that went down. It's shallow in the strait, regular fucking joes were looting the wrecks here for decades. They could be returned to service far easier than summoning replacements or building new ships.

The Hawks have drop tanks so they should have been good for the hour they'd need to loiter, but the F-16s can and should have probes, and why wouldn't they cross-train on mid-air fueling, given that before this China was being dicks and the OSEAN people were banding together?

I can guarantee there are nuclear assets on standby at this very second. Settle may or may not know about them, but the decision to use them is out of his hands. We'll know command has decided this situation is beyond saving when the Abyssals start shooting down a series of aircraft flying at directly over them at mid altitudes. Those will be the RQ-180 drones on a suicide run to provide targeting info to nearby nuclear forces, likely B-2 or F-35s with gravity bombs (or both).

The level effect is not a one way street, anti-shipping missiles are still just as effective on abyssals as they are against regular ships.

>I can guarantee there are nuclear assets on standby at this very second. Settle may or may not know about them, but the decision to use them is out of his hands. We'll know command has decided this situation is beyond saving when the Abyssals start shooting down a series of aircraft flying at directly over them at mid altitudes. Those will be the RQ-180 drones on a suicide run to provide targeting info to nearby nuclear forces, likely B-2 or F-35s with gravity bombs (or both).

That's probably the one flaw of Planefag's worldbuilding. The military aspects are great, but the civilian world seems only moderately affected by the war.

I haven't heard anything about drafts, rationing of any sort, or changes to political structures. WW1 and WW2 caused huge changes in the relationship between governments and civilians, but here it's pretty much only a concern if you live near the coast.

Hey, us Singaporeans are competent. Its just we are too small to be worth having destroyers.

You can't expect a Combat Talon to have double duties as a jammer.
Also, the pods that you can fit on a Viper or Hawk are too small to cover an area wide enough to mess the Abyssals about, and even if they do, they'll need to be closer to the ground to make any effect on the enemy ships.

>>45912780
Are you stupid? Globalization means anything that fucks with shipping can royally fuck most countries.
They don't even have to sink alot just pose enough of a threat to reduce shipping and shit hits the economic fan.

This isn't like WW2 with huge fleets of escorts available to protect convoy's. I'd reckon the nations with larger navies are going to be tied
up protecting merchant shipping almost entirely or stuck on costal protection. Hell i wouldent be suprised if the Abyssal shit keeps going that you start seeing more heavily armored ships
being designed with more guns than VLS etc but thats probably too far into the future for this quest.

To be fair, the 1911 is outdated
>>
>>45912799
The first thing that came to mind is the Clemson-class, which were obsolete by the time WWII came around. But that was because of Fubuki doing a Dreadnought on destroyers and making everything before her obsolete; not because time passing by automatically puts them into obsolescence.

Then why is it that civilians are, at most mildly inconvenienced by these abyssal attacks? I mean FFS there is no rationing, no blackouts to save electricity, no water shortages, these attacks are literally doing after nearly TWO YEARS. You know when WW2 was on two years in and all of Europe was under blackouts to prevent bombings and rationing due to blockades. In the same time span the abyssals have done jackshit all.

This is just one big battle. But there's still shipping to protect, ocean to patrol, maintenance and overhauls, training, and all the other shit you need to do.

That said...

We're not THAT far from Japan, why DIDN'T get B-52s with ALCMs flying out to the battlespace alongside the sluts?
>>
>>45912919
They really haven't. Everything past metal cartridges and bolt-action is just iterations on the same core design. Metal cartridges allowed breech-loading, and bolt-actions evolved directly into semi-auto (make bolt cycle self!) and then full-auto (make bolt cycle self, forever!). It's why we're still using shit like 1911s, AR and AK derivatives, and Nagants and shit on the civilian market. Outside of the whole caseless fad brought about by Cold War arms racing, there really hasn't been a huge innovation in small arms in the last 60 years or so.

I'm not asking for a whole session on it. You could easily sprinkle that shit in with news blurbs about draft protests or some fat guy complaining about his rationing stamps.

The main problem comes in that the abyssals don't really seem to be reaching the levels of damage that cause them to be a major threat to humanity or even a region of humanity.

Sure, you live in a city that gets raided by them, you're fucked. But that brings them to the level of "third world military", not something worth all this stress.

Abyssals don't need to do more damage, we don't need to see them blow up Toyko or New York, they just need to do what you just said about people relying on the oceans a lot but never thinking about it. Most of our capacity to transport goods are at the bottom of the ocean. Resources from Africa don't reach factories in Asia and America. Oil doesn't get to China or Japan. Etc, etc.

If I were you, which I'm not so you can do as you please, I'd basically describe the world as one that's almost a decade or two behind. People don't have the latest cellphone, they have an old used phone. Internet access is slow and reserved for the military, businesses, and colleges. Fast food isn't readily available. Food distribution itself is back to WW2 practices. There are displaced refugees everywhere, not just from the third world, but from coastal cities that got raided. People lost homes and families, and now are in bread lines or working on building coastal defenses.

Go Pacific Rim with this a little.

I think it's beginning to affect decisions, as people are becoming so complacent about the abyssal threat they vote to save waifus rather than to win a battle. Even if we lost the Sunda Strait, it's not the end of the world for us so long as we don't take huge casualties. Abyssals completing their objective doesn't really sound like something completely unacceptable. We want to win, but we know Abyssals will eventually lose, so we kinda view abyssals as dumb.
>>
You're all forgetting one thing that would utterly shitkick most abyssals, levelling effect be damned.

Aardvarks running TV-guided munitions, gravity or AShM.

And what are there LITERAL FIELDS of in America?

Seriously, those bastards are fucking evil incarnate doing strike missions. If there aren't squadrons training on them to be assigned to CVNs and NAS's around the world I'll eat my beret.
>>
>>45912940
Problem is that kind of work would take along time. With the Abyssals fucking with merchant shipping you can pretty much kiss a large part of the ME and Africa goodbye because they
depend on being able to export via sea. Remember even the largest cargo planes carry jack shit compaired to the average boat and
they're much more expensive to operate.

Problem is merchant shipping tends to have choke points and while some are defendable like the canals or the english channel others are not so much.
To keep those places open the USN would have to deploy the lions share of its fleet while leaving coastal defense or escorting civilan shipping vulnerable.

Since i doubt they'd sacrifice defense or convoy escorting you'd have some of these choke points contested and even one of them having issues would cause mass economic trouble.

Also i would NOT want to be living in a nation without any real Naval/Airpower like the African nations even if you live inland the economic desasters gonna make everything go to shit.

Cue-balling got them up to about 5 rounds per minute from 3-4.

It's not quite so simple. First, you need to actually get all those birds into flyable condition, which means finding guys who actually know how to do that. Then you need to train up a new cadre of pilots to actually fly them. Then you need bases and facilities to actually store and service them.

And IIRC, none of them are carrier capable. Best case, they'd mostly be used as shore defense assets by Air NG units.

You'll note I said *TRAINING*, right? Even if there's only one squadron that is good enough to be flown inside a year that's still cadre for the next group that can be restored. I know it takes 1-3 years to get any kind of real numbers of Aardvarks restored, the only good thing is that they're still in use and whatnot with other nations so the technical expertise still exists.

Also, my bad on the carrier capability, I thought it WAS carrier capable.

Either way, it's a great strike fighter and if they aren't the first things being dragged out of the boneyard I'll be surprised.

>>45913177
If that was true, we would never have sent Naka out to screen Houston and Perth on her own. We would never have initially had Tenryuu and Tatsuta charge the CA's to try and strike them.

Ship-girls and ship-boys are assets that far outweigh normal ships when it comes to fighting capability vs Abyssals. Their munitions are easier to resupply than missiles, are easier to fix/heal (usually), and they can detect Abyssals easier than normal ships.

FFGs and gunboats are relatively easy to produce and crew, compared to the rather finite number of ship-persons. Protecting the ship-persons is conserving assets we can't replace.

>>45913275

Technically the F-111B was carrier capable. But it was shit and the USN selected the F-14 Tomcat.

>>45913270
Look, I don't know if you realize this, but she was literally right in the face of that abyssal when that missile came in and fucked him, so this "recover the body" shit isn't gonna happen, because there ain't gonna be fucking anything to recover.

I do wish we could have talked the Chinese into letting us task a few of these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DF-26

They would be very helpful right now with terminal guidance from our on-site assets.
>>
>>45913177
Rest assured that I'm always making my decisions based on calculating the net worth of each asset to the rest of the campaign.

Sadly, in this case, Ship Girls are simply far easier to return to the battlefield than modern ships. While our FFGs are gutted for around half a year, the ship girls will be returned to operations within a week. While in the longer term we might have need of them, in the shorter term we lose nothing we haven't already if the FFGs are sunk.

I would, of course, prefer to keep them alive, but the gamble must be taken.

As for Tenryuu and Tatsuya... Honestly, I am not half as torn up about it as I thought I would be. I'm actually quite indifferent about it. Huh.
>>
>>45913274
They stopped making the planes decades ago and no company is going to jsut sit on a perfectly good factory they could use to build something else so the production line/tooling all gets changed.

As for the plans as i heard they lost the designs for wings so any plan to extend the B-52's lifespan/upgrade it further would require
a new wing design be made from scratch which is both expensive and time consuming.

It's the downside with something that old unfortunately. but at least it isn't as bad as the clusterfuck with the Nimrod MRA4's.

>You're vaguely aware that you're losing control of the situation - and terrified that there may be no retaining it, no matter how much you wish otherwise
I'm honestly having a hard time finding a way for us to win this. Harder's out of commission, Naka's damaged and towing him, Perth and Houston are low on ammunition, and the PT boats have loosed their fish. Iowa's hit but still giving chase, and they have light combatants moving in to finish off that crippled group.
The invasion fleet is battered but still not yet fucking broken after eating 80 torps, and still has a few combatants in it.
Tenryuu and Tatsuta are done, as are KTKM and Ooi.
Sendai and Jintsuu are unaccounted for now, but neither of them have torps.

Our only striking power remaining is in the missiles on Lekir and her gunboat, and the air strike. There's just too fucking many of them.
>>
>>45913352
If the Abyssals are so utterly threatening then why the fuck arent the Chinese being over fucking upside-down to help us since like 90% of their economy is exports? I MEAN FUCK, you would think they would everything in their power to not get fucked over by this if it was really so bad.

“Hit those corvettes!” you command.

The sky over the Strait is kindled into incandescent radiance as the flare ship makes her run, burning stars descending slowly under silk as the low throaty growl of jet engines rises to the east. You watch the cheerful blue icons of the Indonesian FAC Falcons as they scream in at full afterburner, tearing over the Strait at Mach 2, getting a brief glimpse of the battlefield on their FLIR before thundering into a high vertical reversal, rolling over the top lazily and kind of dropping quietly towards the battlefield as they study it carefully, picking out targets as they hurtle earthward.

Then they go to work.

One FAC Falcon thunders towards its chosen victim low on the deck, a little symbol on the tactical plot indicating he's lasing with his FLIR pod. A veritable cloud of glowing tracers rises towards him, looking like a handful of glowing rice grains flung skyward from a giant hand. He breaks off sharply just as his wingman drops in from the opposite direction, handing off the lase. They set up a figure-eight pattern, varying their ingress and egress angles, getting a feel for how the laser spot likes to slide on and off the target. They've picked a kaibokan as their first target, the light ship trying to duck behind pillars of smoke from burning ships to lose its harassers, but to no avail. The first wing-pair of strike craft show up; the Falcons angling towards the drop point as the kaibokan hides itself in a patch of denser mist. You feel a thrill of panic vibrate up your spine, a countermand on your lips as the FAC driver simply dips a bit lower and hits his afterburners, hell-bent on a dangerously low pass. You hear the Indonesian strike pilot calling in his own tongue; unmistakably a callsign for weapon release as the tactical plot generates a small icon for the bomb, tracing the path of the Kedge as it hurtles towards the dark sea. The FAC fighter wiggles and jinks industriously as tracers and flak bursts seek it out, but it never rolls too far or fast, wary of overtaxing the FLIR's computerized lock. The Kedge finds the laser spot seconds before impact, the FAC finally close enough to achieve burn-through. You watch the Global Hawks feed as the massive bomb punches a hole clean through the mist and smoke with its passage. It impacts the water just abeam the kaibokan, and then the entire tablaeu vanishes for a second before resolving again; the slick, sharp keel of the abyssal sub-chaser visible as the fatally wounded ship capsizes and sinks.

And they're just getting started.

It's possible, and droning up old planes like F-18s and F-16s for combat roles is currently on the Air Force's agenda. However, it would take time considering there have never been any plans to specifically drone up F-111s. And even then, you still need to pull them out of the boneyard and fix them up.

“Lekir,” you call. “Where are you?”

“In the middle of the pack,” comes the reply after a brief pause for translation. “Hauling ass!”

“Can you fire?”

“If you give us telemetry, we can set up a shot.”

“Those Exocets are terrain-following, right?” An affirmative. “Good, we can shoot over the island. Ops, give them the telemetry for shots on those cruisers.” Steadfast's radars are still working well enough to keep a pretty good fix on the abyssal cruisers locations - and the only missiles you've got left in this group ride with the corvette and its small escort.

Before they can fire, the abyssals do.

You twitch violently, stomach plummeting towards your feet as the bright flash flares in the bottom-right of the CICs main display, drawing your eyes to the PIP window locked into the cruisers. The camera pulls back, waiting, ready to show the fall-of-shot. Your heart constricts violently as you realize you made the wrong call, knowing the abyssals can't possibly miss at this range, not against wounded ships crawling from battle...

... but nothing happens.

Another blinding flash blots out the abyssal cruisers - they're firing with daytime powder, full-flash.

“What the hell are they doing?” you breathe.

A third salvo splits the night.

“No splash,” someone breathes behind you.

The FLIR's green-tinted image slowly fades in again to show the scarred, battered cruisers slowly turning to retreat, crawling away from the charnel-house of the Strait.

With shaking hands you command a radio channel be opened. Several seconds pass as the ops staff route your microphone's link through radio relay after radio relay, and finally slave it to the UHF set in the flare ship, still orbiting overhead.

“Why?” you ask quietly. “Why?”

But the sea makes no reply.

You're really not understanding what I'm saying. It has nothing do with the whole conventional ship vs shipgirl decision.

Let's say one day we have to choose between winning a fight but losing the Arizona and letting the Abyssals complete their objective and saving Arizona. The kneejerk reaction is to save Arizona, because we know her personally and we know the Abyssals are a long way from ever achieving victory over humanity.

And I'm saying that mindset is bad and should be changed by having the abyssals be more of a threat. This makes losing to them actually mean something rather than just being something we have to accept as another thing to angst about.

Whether we win or lose a battle should matter to us, otherwise we all just sit here and gawk about how pointless the Abyssals' actions are against the superior might of humanity.

And, my suggest to this end is, make human civilization be on the brink of economic collapse. We lose and the world goes a little bit closer to The Road. Maybe the abyssals can't beat modern militaries in a prolonged struggle, but they can make civilization collapse with economic pressure and hopefully the military with it.

That's what I'm saying. It was never about metal boats vs. slut boats.

Dunno the USAF's been scavenging boneyards for some parts. The wings are the big issue though because they are high stress components and they're running out of old planes to pull them off to keep the
remaining H models flying. Remember the last B-52 made was finished in 1962 over 50 years ago. It's not suprising they lost stuff.

But that doesn't explain why the invasion fleet is still making its way toward its landing zone, still shepherded by cruisers and under cover of smoke.

At least, I don't remember any mention of the troop transports heading back towards where they came, only that they were regrouping and still on their previous course.

If it works, we've captured an Abyssal alive and is a great day for R&D.
If it fails, we lose little of value (in relation to the destruction of more troop transports and Abyssal amphibious forces) since the PT boats manifest themselves, they're meant to be expendable, and Sammy B can be made to be responsible for them.

To be honest, depending the situation in the next update, we might have a costly win.

The F-16s can bomb the DEs to death fast, then the Hawks come in high to dive-bomb the Iowa to death, since it has no AA.

Then whoever is left can sink the invasion barges and shit from outside their own range, like Sendai and Jintsuu, or the Spicas, while everyone else works search and rescue and keeps whoever else they can afloat.

No, but these troop transports don't seem like they have anything above machine guns.
That's why these make such interesting targets. They're Abyssal so we can test basic assumptions against their biology and operation, but they don't have sufficient weapons or power to require a completely new and dedicated containment facility.

If Chuuniboat died, I think everyone present would use it as fuel for their journey.

But if Naka or Harder died, I'd probably drop the quest. Not out of rage, but because that's basically what keeps me reading this quest. They die, story's over for me.

Some yes others would be demoralized, partially because how things went down (railroaded to disobey orders one way or another)

But if a major character bites it, it'd likely be the point where such people just give up. Not to mention people's shaky faith in PF taking some MAJOR hits.

A Global Hawk wouldn't even be able to dent BB-4, even at max engine power.
At best it would leave cartoon-tier char marks like those other kamikaze planes.

I keep wonder what the fenrir means. That a single infantry man has a gun that can kill a tank and level a building in a shot.

Imagine a LHD disgorging a pack of marines. On jetskis.Each with mounted full auto fenrirs.

How do you counter that.
>>
>>45913954
Harder dying probably wouldn't drive me away, if it is a sufficiently good death, simply because I'd want to watch how Naka handled it.

But if Naka bit it, or turned against humanity, or if somehow Willie got killed, I'd probably drop it as well.
>>
>>45913996
Hmm. Was just trying to think of a different method of attack.

I guess there's nothing for it. Somebody will have to take the plunge personally.

I specified "turned against humanity", and not "turned full Abyssal", for a reason. Remember the whole "sliding scale of kanmasu vs. abyssal" thing.

Naka going "full Abyssal" doesn't mean she necessarily is fighting against us, as her condition has shown. So long as she is still fighting for humanity, no matter what Naka looks like, I'll be reading this.

Honestly KC Iowa works in the sense of "her in the 40s" while Jeanx's Iowa would match "her in modern times" better.

Well that would be one way to deal with BB-4, but neither of them have torps left and their guns won't do shit.

Unless they take a few torps from someone else, like maybe Harder if they can wake him up temporarily, their not very useful against BB-4.

I originally figured in the heat of battle they might not care if it can kill BB-4 and protect their sister plus everyone else in the convoy.

This is Sendai and Jinstuu were talking about here. They're not nearly the same level of "Banzai!!" as the Chuuni's or the torp lesbos. Plus, they likely are far more focused on getting their sister and Harder out of their than any glory charging.

But what'eve, Hate ain't giving them his gun, so it's a moot point.

IJN boats are fucking retarded to a tee.
>>
>>45915138
Well yes, under normal circumstances that's right.

But she got that out of her system earlier, or she would have probably been charging into the fray already. That Sendai hasn't gone charging in means she's capable of realizing when not to "Banzai!!". For one thing she has no fucking torps, so Banzai would do jack-shit and she know this give how small her guns are.

And frankly you seem to be the brain damaged one, given you can differentiate between the situations.
>>
>>45914173
Our orders were not "damage the abyssal invasion force as much as possible while conserving fleet strength", there were "hold the strait at all costs". We fight until the end, and if we lose the AF turns our graves into a radioactive memorial.
>>
>>45915490
>hold the straight at all costs

Where in the fuck did we say that at? Seriously if that was the case EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER would be flying towards it right now to get at the Abyssals, not the force of Cruisers we currently have there.
>>
>>45915523
No one ever thought the shipsluts could hold the straight, the whole thing was a setup to prove shipgirls are useless and to provide an excuse to nuke the invasion fleet.
>>
>>45915490
Our 'orders' were "Hey boss we're pretty fucking sure an invasion fleet is gonna come through this strait but we can't be certain, what can we spare?" "This or this" "ok great".

Our objectives are on a sliding scale. Killing all the abyssals would be wonderful. More urgently, preventing the abyssals from achieving their goals is the bigger goal. The invasion fleet needs to be destroyed, degraded, or fixed for future engagement such that it cannot perform its task.
Preserving our own units while achieving this goal is another overarching goal. Note how we only ever moved aggressively to engage the invasion fleet or to target units threatening our forces.
Now, destroying the invasion fleet's escorts is one way to degrade the invasion fleet's ability to perform its goal, but the cost of doing so is turning out a bit higher than destroying the transports themselves was.

We've degraded the invasion fleet's ability to invade by wrecking lots of their transports and lots of their escorts. Our current forces aren't really capable of punishing the invasion fleet much more while looking after their own survival, so pulling back is prudent, even if momentarily. Follow-up air power can be brought to bear in the medium term, the abyssals only have the real options of pressing on and being picked apart, retreating, or saying 'fuck it' and burning the cities straddling the strait to the ground.

>the abyssals only have the real options of pressing on and being picked apart, retreating, or saying 'fuck it' and burning the cities straddling the strait to the ground.
While the troop transports have had their numbers reduced, we still don't know by how much.
All we can tell is that they're regrouping and showing no signs of retreat.
If they decide to strike at the civilian targets on either side of the strait, the local Army units won't be able to hold them back, and given the amount of time, it's unlikely that they've been fully evacuated.
We'd be looking at some pretty high civilian casualties.

It's also possible that we've reduced the numbers of the invasion fleet to below whatever critical mass prevents them from employing their teleportation and stealth options; they could potentially continue to their target area and hit it with a reduced number of troop transports. If that occurs, the target may have a chance of fending off the assault, or it might still fall.
