Battle of the Eye
A large Hurricane has descended over the MGLA base, causing all aircraft to be grounded until the storm has passed. Combined with the rought seas, this results in almost all forms of attack are impossible while the hurricane is in the area, and operations will have to be delayed.
ALMOST que the Gleipnir theme
Out of the torrential rain and terrible winds, Two Gleinirs, SAW Hati and SAW Moði, each escorted by eight Gyges class AWs, emerged amidst the fearsome weather. They bombarded the island from above, destroying airfields, bases, and the two key bridges on the island. But a fluke of timing resulted in the two Gleipnir task forces finding themselves caught in the eye of the hurricane. Surviving MGLA fighters racing into the sky, not about to let this opportunity for a counterstrike slip by. The battle for ferocious, with heavy casualties from the MGLA forces, but moderate and even serious damage on the AWs. Two Gyges AWs where critically damaged, and crashed into the sea below, going up in a massive fireball. SAW Moði was heavily damaged, and SAW Hati had four of it's shock missiles disabled. The task forces retreated out of the eye, where they couldn't be followed, but leaving many MGLA bases in ruins.
Battle theme
Elsewhere, a Scout 102C drone spotted a unidentified submarine with Skypark territorial waters. SAW Magni engaged the enemy submarine, using it's shock cannon against the sub. When it dove beneath the water in an attempt to escape, CL-110s dropped depth charges on the sub, making multiple passes until the sub finally surfaced, unable to stay submerged. Seeing the futility of the situation, the sub surrendered, and it was dragged ashore by crains near the coast.
@Dracul0Anderson wait you guys don't have BVR missiles ?
@Dracul0Anderson Try thinking more creative.
@Dracul0Anderson Nuclear war is forbidden in this war. Any such acts of aggression would effectively terminate your existence in this story, enforced by both the MGLA and Monarchii.
@windshifter1
Skypark is nuclear armed, and isn't afraid to deploy them this close to home. I mean, feel free to launch your attack, the whole attack fleet will be destroyed, but hey, you'll have tried (also some idiot technician dropped a torpedo and damaged to sub in question).
@Dracul0Anderson The MGLA Navy Corps SkyPark Attack Fleet has arrived on the borders. We are hoping for a surrender of the submarine back to us, if not we shall launch
@windshifter1
I'm going to be making a chart showing how my various weapons are used from a realistic viewpoint, since my aerial warships are causing some confusion.
@Dracul0Anderson you fool
@Dracul0Anderson We shall have to see then! Once my fleet arrives.
@windshifter1
One, no, of course not. But I'm not defending with one.
@windshifter1
(Finally) Just posted the toned down version. Also, fun fact, in-game, the Gleipnir was actually vulnerable to close-range combat, and posed flares, so it was acknowledged that such an aircraft was rather vulnerable.
@Dracul0Anderson But can it countermeasure hundreds of missiles?
@windshifter1
The Gleipnir has flares too, you know. Also with the gyges support ships.
@Dracul0Anderson The missiles will be evaded using countermeasures and the cannon will be ineffective as the SAM's will take the Gleipnir out before it gets in position.
@windshifter1
The missiles on the Gleipnirs can hit targets ten miles away. And the shock cannon is fixed pointing straight down, so it has to be right over a target to destroy it(which is a weakness if you think about it).
@Dracul0Anderson I am assuming straight down or nearly?
@Dracul0Anderson Yes, but it will get shot down by the SAMs first. How far can it attack from?
@windshifter1
Actually, I did make a toned domn version(vulnerable points, less health), I keep forgetting to post it(also uses a cannon with explosive rounds for the shock cannon, hence, it kills everything). The Gleipnirs are going to be the only ones with such high firepower, any and all other Aerial warships will have more realistic weapons and defenses.
@Dracul0Anderson Oh i forgot to mention they also have 120 smaller ground/ship missiles
@Dracul0Anderson And that armament is not unrealistic. Normal cruiser have around 120 SAMs at a minimum
@Dracul0Anderson And that, that is unrealistic gleipnirs for you. Did I not suggest toning it down? Never mind, because the multiple escort Crusiers have 76 SAMs each. Also equipped with 18 cleavers, massive missiles to take out ground/ship targets. You wont stand a chance.
@windshifter1
It is unwise for carrier aircraft to try to battle land based aircraft for a prolonged time. Plus, Gleipnirs can kill a ship in a single hit.
@Dracul0Anderson
[Classified Number]Liberator Class Cruisers,[Classified Number]Liberty Class Hunter-Killer Submarines,[Classified Number]Predator Class Escort Submarines,[Classified Number]Dominion Class Aicraft Carriers are currently en-route to Skypark. Their mission is to retrieve the captured Liberty Class Submarine. You had better prepare for an onslaught.@Dracul0Anderson that's good to hear, our citizens were already scarred from uncoordinated attacks from rogue MGLA members, and we're still recovering from it.
@DatTrainAndCarGuy19
Skypark and Monarchii are allies. So no, wright islands are not a target.
@Dracul0Anderson please, don't attack wright isles please, I BEG YOUUUUU
