102 Silver Foxes I: The Prop Driven Drive to win

Night raids

Ryo and sharpie were in the pilots lounge near hangar B with Mikey discussing battle plans.

Sharpie: hey Mikey do you have radar pods small enough to mount to a typhoon or spitfire?

Mikey: yeah why? 

Sharpie: well, we can launch a preemptive strike on kuromorimine by night and disable their airforce, using radar to guide us.

Ryo: sharpie, this is why you are my subcommander.

Mikey: that can be arranged.

I'll let you lead it and some of our pilots will join in the fun, they need the practice.

Later that evening, radar pods were fitted to Ryo's spitfire and bushido's typhoon (bushido being the commander of squadron B that arrived 2 days ago on ST. G)

The attack was slated for 11:00 PM the next day

Cannons armed and rockets fitted, the squadron took to the air, flying through the night sky, Ryo and bushido's heads were buried in their radar displays, Ryo looked up and barely made out the blacked out carrier in the distance, Ryo didn't dare to use his radio, instead he rocked his wings to signal: "target spotted" and each pilot who saw this signal repeated it so planes further back in the formation would see it. B squadron formed a line and lined up their run, starting at the back of the carrier B squadron made their attack run, engines at idle to reduce noise and reduce the chance of being spotted, meanwhile on the carrier, kuromorimine radar operators saw the incoming aircraft and raised the alarm, searchlights lit up the sky and AAA began to open up. The game was up but not over, b squadron lined up on the hangars and runway and each plane let loose 6 RP-3 rockets each with 60 pound high explosive warheads. BF-109s parked on the flight line were lit up like Christmas trees, not a single Kuro aircraft was able to take to the skies after 102 had its way with kuro's airfield. At about 2:30 AM all pilots were back aboard ST. G's carrier
