Sean is rapidly approaching the point of SQUAD BROKEN.

I do sincerely hope we're not going to suffer for your trolling.

once we land, we act like absolutely nothing bizarre happened on the flight back.

MY SIDES.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER PLANEFAG.

>>18143040
Yes, and we really are not in a condition to fight. So we might as well fuck with our radioman because THE WIDOW IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO TROLLS.

>>18143040
Yeah, and one of our engines just finally died. That would have happened independently of us fucking with Sean.

Besides, we are almost out of ammo in a shot to shit fighter. Unless you wanted us to go kamikaze something there ain't much we can do.

>>18143062
True, true.

The Witch is probably needed somewhere else though.

>>18143040

I'm sorry, mate.

That made no fucking sense at all.

Never heard of 'Win the battle, lose the war?'

>>18143075
I believe he is referring to the radio signals and shutting them down.

Listen, guy who is pushing that, we've already deferred to Minna's judgment on that. When we get said judgment. It's on our to-do list.

>>18143075

We're pretending to be an 8-ball to troll the fuck out of the witch and our buddies

>>18143101
GLORIOUS TROLLING

>>18143101
Sean tried to fuck with our heads because he cut off our radio and thus we didn't know we got a witch escort.

As it turns out, the pilot pretending to be crazy is much much scarier.

So wait were not going for the downed witch ourselves?

>>18142977

"Hey, Hallucination," you say, looking at the Witch riding on your wing. "Which one of those strips is the river?"

"I AM NOT A HALLUCINATION!" she screams, pounding her fist into your wing.

You shrug. "Great, not even my own brain helps anymore. Alrighty then, that big patch of woody stuff. Probably the willows on the bank reflecting off the water."

"LONG STRAIGHT BLACK ONE LONG STRAIGHT BLACK ONE!" Katherine screams in horror.

You giggle. "That's what SHE said."

"I-" the girl turns beet-red. "I DID NOT!"

"Alrighty, woody spot-"

"NO! NO!"

"So you DID say that! Hurrrr, long straight black one-"

"I'm going to KILL you!"

"But you can't, because that'd be a form of SUICIDE!" You break out in mad, mad laughter, and the look of simultaneous horror, fear, embarrassment and rage on the girl's face is just too much to commit to memory.

So you take a photo.

"What! What was that!"

"A photograph!" you say, still weak with laughter. "Should've seen... oh. Oh," you mope, feigning sadness. "It's not that funny, is it?"

"NO IT IS FUCKING NOT!" Sean howls from the back. "Focus on landing, you fucktripe!"

"Because you can't photograph a hallucination!" you finish, then laugh some more. Ian kicks the back of your seat hard. Okay, spoilsport. Time to actually land this fucker.

Am I the only one who thinks that Strike Witches should replace Touhou as /tg/'s official magic girl harem?

The landing gear comes down without a hitch, and you ask your hallucination to verify they deployed correctly. She says she's going to deploy her revolver up your ass, which you take as a "yes." You guess.

"Requesting emergency landing clearance! My pilot's gone insane!"

"An insane Yank pilot, who would've fucking guessed?" comes back the tower's harried voice. "Runway's clear, Yank, just slap her down. You need the meat wagon or fire trucks?"

"Men with butterfly nets!" Sean almost shrieks.

"I am not a butterfly," you snort. "I'll have you know my ancestors were DRAGONflies. Rude bastard."

The right powerplant is laboring and putting out less power then she ought, but that might be a fuel problem. Between the Widow's low-speed handling and your high-angle approach, you put the machine down with no problem, the brakes squealing gently as you slow and roll her onto the ramp.

You sit in your cockpit for a good ten minutes, just resting. Flying is harder work then most people realize, and combat flying is utterly exhausting. And you've been going non-stop for hours, on the heels of some serious wounds.

what do we fly for the rest of the way while they patch our baby up

>>18143365
We need to find a phone.

(in b4 crank calling Minna)

>>18143365
do we still have the soap bullets?

>>18143365
No rest for the wicked, we got things to do and witches too troll

>>18143365
>There is no witch

>Treat the witch like we just met her when we see her

>>18143390
We need to find a phone and make a call to Castle Barin, see if Minna has already sortied.

If she has, then we need to get to the Tower and see if we can raise her.

Dude, CV-6 is one tonne better then the pansy-waisted child that the CVN-65

CV-6 got slugged by bombs BY THE MAGAZINES. The carrier equivalent of getting KICKED IN THE BALLS.

Told the enemy to fuck itself, went to the repair docks, and came back out in a third of the time it should have to give the enemy one hell of a giant middle finger.

The Enterprise was the first carrier to receive a PRESIDENTIAL COMMENDATION, for christsakes.

All other carriers are smalltime in comparison.

>>18143365
I wonder if Kathy rode us all the way down.

>>18143406
They are likely bringing someone over to figure out wtf is going on.

>>18143365
Pretend it's the first time we've seen the witch

>>18143365
Okay, when we get out of the cockpit, play up the exhaustion. That should prevent any sword-related shenanigans.
And if we happen to animegropefall our hallucination, so much the better.

Let's jump on the witch and ride her back to base.

>>18143406
Bit surprised let us go ten minutes without an asswhupin'

>>18143407

"And now," you whisper, "I go for the kill."

You know the instant your feet touch the tarmac, Sean will be there to physically detain you as a lunatic. Even if he doesn't, it'll be because you reveal the prank, and then he'll just beat the shit out of you.

There's only one thing to do.

It's hard to operate an 18-cylinder radial engine right, and easy to do it very, very wrong. You do it just wrong enough to flood it with fuel. When an 18-cylinder powerplant backfires, it backfires with the force of a fat man barreling towards the Fish Buffet day after Good Friday.

You press the starter.

WHAM!

Out of your open canopy hatch, you scream: "SHE'S ON FIRE! THE AMMO'S COOKING OFF! HELP, HALLUCINATION, HELP!"

You soon see Sean booking across the tarmac at a dead run, NOPE-ing like man with his ass on fire towards the small field's tower.

Cutting power on landing, well, that can be mistaken for... cutting power on landing. As you are wont to do. But the EIGHTEEN-BACKFIRE-BLAST TECHNIQUE, now that's something else altogether.

You are a bad man.

You slither out of your cockpit like the snake-in-the-grass you are, and observe Sean's flight with great satisfaction. Ian comes clambering out after you.

"Overdid it, much?"

You snort. "You saw that sword he totes around. Didn't feel like taking any chances."

Ian sighs and shakes his head. "You never consider all the angles. Only most of them."

"What?"

The other angle kicks you in the back of the knee, and twists a hand into your hair.

"HERE I AM, PUNK!" Katherine shouts. "WHO'S A HALLUCINATION NOW!"

"What in bloody hell are you babbling about!?" you object. "How does a damn hallucination counterbalance the drag of a feathered prop? Or shoot down a Firebee? Unhand me, Wench!"

She unhands you. "But... but... you..."

You stand, rubbing your head and wincing. "Ian, you know what she's talking about?"

Ian faces you. And only his face. He does not wear a pokerface; nay, his expression is to a pokerface as a match is to the Sun. He turns to you a visage so blank, so disconnected, that you can feel the vacuum tug at your soul as his very presence on the mortal plane takes a long step away from the entire metaphysical CONCEPT of the situation.

You gesture at Ian. "See?"

Also, the worst thing I've heard, flare fires. Boat wasn't in danger of being lost, but shipyard was .. well the boat just went out a while ago, some 688.

"Where DID you come from, anyways?" you ask Katherine.

"US Navy, VF-221!" she says brightly. "Stationed on the USS Lexington! Pappy called from the Saratoga and said you could use an escort!"

"And your unit didn't want you?" you say, raising an eyebrow.

"We'd already mopped up," she says. "And I had plenty of magic left and they ALWAYS make me land last, for some reason..." she sighs. Then she shoves her hand out. "Katherine O'Hare, at your service!"

You quirk an eyebrow. "Wait, weren't you in the Stars and Stripes?"

"Yep!" she says brightly. "The Grunman people sent me like a million cigarettes!"

As she happily introduces herself to Ian and inquires into Sean's terrified evacuation, you notice a man approaching from the nearby camouflage-tarped revetments that pass for hangars. He moves with an odd gait, one leg seeming to swing out at the knee and snap to in a rather mechanical fashion. It's one you recognize, from a man you've seen around the Castle on occasion...

"Douglas Bader, I presume?" you greet the man as he lurches closer.

"Quite, chap, quite," he says, taking your hand and shaking it firmly. "What the hell are you blokes doing here?"

Halon is fucking toxic but puts out fires like no other. CO2 doesn't kill people as readily and also puts out fires.

I guess they assign enough relative value to life of the crew to not give them nerve gas fire extinguishers, which is more than can be said for a lot of important facilities in the post-war years.

Do try to keep up dearie.

>>18143740
You can detect the passage of a sub by finding its wake. Search for an area where the gas density in the water and the size of the bubbles is different. Search for the presence of oil in the water, things like that.

Kickass.

But how could you not have heard of her? The SMS Goeben escaping to Constantinople was one of the reasons the Ottomans entered WW1. That, and she was both the longest surviving member of the High Seas Fleet and the last battlecruiser to be scrapped, in like 1973 I think.

"Oh, just coming back from the Lexington. I was chasing Martian radar beams when the general call went out.
"Right now I have a hole to patch, fuel to chug, and ammo to load. Oh, and a telephone; I need to call up my CO."

This is all very well and good, but we STILL have not heard jack shit about the current status of the 501st.

This our home unit. I thought maybe we would be a litle more interested in how they're doing.

Forget having her at our wing, let's strap her to the roof of whatever we end up flying. Safer in so many ways.

Kathrine hasn't shot us yet, so that's good!

>>18144061
And she'd up up crashing our Widow.

the 501st are the best witches in the world. as long as thy are in the air flying they are basically invincible. and since they asked after us on the radio it can be surmised that, miracle of miracles, they weren't caught flat footed.

>>18144101
Lemme put it this way. Knowing that there is a project codenamed Manhattan is far enough above our paygrade to get a visit from the OSS for namedropping it.

>>18143933

"Coming back from a BARCAP over battleships entering the Channel," you tell him. "We've been pushing those prototype-modified radials at sixty-five pounds of boost for several days with short maintenance time, and..." you shrug. "Bound to happen sooner or later. Engines only have so many hours in 'em."

Bader nods, then points at a shot-up fighter sitting on the ramp some distance away. "Martians got some good licks into me south of London, so I put down here. Lucky, we've got more planes then pilots these days, so they're fueling up a spare Spitfire for me."

"What's the situation?" you ask. "I have no clue what's going on."

Bader sighs, and he looks strained. "The Martians are invading Sussex. In force. They've also landed troops in East Anglia, in force."

Your heart tightens. "EastChurch?"

"Safe, but I can't say for how long. They punched through the Coastal Crust like it wasn't there and they're coming up on the GHQ Line fast. The Arun Divisional Stop Line is holding them to the West, but mostly because the river plays merry hell with their Black Smoke."

Man has a point, however, once the bomb is done, one has to wonder how long it will be before they start examining pilots to see who would be cut out for making a bomb drop.

I mean, look at the shit we've already pulled off, knowing we're gnomes or not, our names have probably crossed a desk or two.

>>18144235
So has Paul Tibbets and a bunch of dudes who actually fly bombers.

Not to mention sparklebitches

>>18144235

The problem is...

What exactly are you dropping the bomb ON?

And how the hell do you get in there without getting shot down?

>>18144226
>>18144222
Thanks.

This makes me wonder how much of the Maginot line saw combat when the aliums attacked. The Germans hadn't actually bypassed all of it by that time, had they?

>>18144246
Witches are not cut out for nuke delivery. Shields won't protect them from radiation and not all of them have Trude's superstrength.

>>18144161

"Radio reports coming through?"

Bader snorts. "I saw it with my own eyes, chap. I was flying ground-attack against them."

"What'd they bring?"

He sighs. "Fucking everything. More dreadnaughts, but they're finally fielding them with escorts, now."

"Yeah, I saw one dropping parasite fighters not an hour ago," you inform him. He swears quietly.

"The 501st?"

"Being held in reserve, actually. We know the rotters got an ace up their sleeve, so we're keeping ours close as well. When I sortied they were debating moving to Sutton Field. Barin was too close to the front for comfort, but it's also got ancient magic or summat to protect it." He shrugs. "Fat lot 'o good it did 'em a week ago."

"I've got to get over there," you say.

Bader nods. "They need their auxiluries. Big Wing, and all that. But you're not going in *that* bird," he says nodding at Ghostrider.

"What, then?"

Bader shrugs. "Little bit of everything ended up here; take your pick."

>>18144246

>>18144246
I would be damn surprised to see them put an atomic weapon in the hands of a witch. As is the testing for the bomb will probably be longer just to see what the effect of radiation is on magic. Not that the...who was doing arms research at the time? Was DARPA established yet? Anyway, point is they didn't much give two shits h
About the effect of radiation on people, so maybe not.

OK, MC and Ian can pick whatever they want, but what about Sean?

No lads. We grab a Fairey Swordfish.

We'll sink those alium battleships, just you fuckin' watch.

>>18144339
gota go fast mode!

>>18144304
If we have to split up, have Ian take Sean to track the radar, we'll fly a single seater.

Ian may be a trained pilot, but he's got nowhere near the combat experience we do, plus Sean doesn't even want to look at us atm.

And tracking a radio signal hardly requires extreme piloting skills.

>>18144353
Something with a tail gun maybe. Or another radar plane

>>18144353
Kathy is gonna drag him by the ankles through the air.

I don't think they knew much of anything about radiation back then.

But they've probably got science-y witches all over that thing, putting magic into it. When it goes off, it'll be a huge pink ball of death rather than a ginormous fireball.

How about an A-20 Havoc?

>>18144270
>lolnukes

You scan the airfield. It's a tiny, one-runway thing, and you're mildly surprised it actually has a concrete runway. A little inspection demonstrates why; it's not just a forward fighter field, but an emergency/forward strip for twin-engine stuff. There's a few Bristol Beaufighters available, one sporting the antenna of a nose-mounted radar. Likewise there's a few A-20 Havocs (or "Bostons" as the limeys call them,) two of which are night-fighter variants as well. A P-40 is sitting under a hastily-applied camouflage net, there's another Spitfire being hastily readied for combat (alongside Bader's borrowed ride,) and you even see-

"-is that a Buffalo!?" Katherine declares, leaning forward eagerly.

"... it is," you say, baffled.

Bader looks over. "Eh? Oh. I think that was on its way to Burma and never made it over for some reason. Then the Battle started and we didn't want to let it go." He scratches his head. "Or it was en-route to Finland when they threw in with the Krauts..." He shrugs. "Whatever, it's there."

>OPTIONS?
>Ian is a qualified pilot, but not as in-practice.
>Sean can into aerial gunnery.

Another vote for a P-61 if we can wing it.

It's not NTR if we do it with her twin!

I vote we grab either an Me-210 OR Mosquito for us and Sean, and Ian takes whatever he likes, a Spitfire, Mustang, Lightning, anything small and zippy to cover us.

Never mind. Lets do it in a Havoc

A-26, if one is available. 3 crew, bombs+guns+fancy remote turrets (just like P-61). No radar (if there was a prototype with radar, I'd pick this, hands-down).

A-20 Havoc I (or P-70). Slower, older, but still 3 crew+radar+guns/bombs/turret.

Mossie. Great speed, but ISTR MC has already made a crack about them. Also, no turret, no room for Ian.

Bf-110. Closest thing to a P-61, but do they even *have* those in Britain?

Havoc IF it's the three-seater.

If it isn't, we and Sean take it while Ian covers us in the Spitfire.

Can we make a B-25J appear out of nowhere? Please? :D
'The last production model of the B-25, often called a cross between the B-25C and the B-25H. It had a transparent nose, but many of the delivered aircraft were modified to have a solid nose. Most of its 14–18 machine guns were forward-facing for strafing missions.'

ROMMEL IN A FRIDGE
ROMMEL/STIRLING MEAT FIGHT (NO HOMO)

I really like the A-20, but TBH, the P-61 is more powerful and maneuverable, and most of our flight time has been spent in one. If one is available, we should take it, because all three of us know how it works.

I personally would want to see MC running against volleys of martian fires holding miyafuji who is raising a shield and she is screaming "son of a duck"

Eh, we'll just have to make do without WEP.

>>18144916

I'd say go with the havoc. might as well try something new out

>>18144680
Sounds like a sexy mistress.

Let's get her.

You're tempted by the Beaufighter - that aggressive forward-slung bulldog look, the powerful cannons, the nimble responsiveness of the lighter aircraft... but Radar has been too good a friend to you in the past, and Sean is an average gunner, but a radar genius. And now is not the time to stick Ian in a fighter, alone, and test his rusting skills in combat.

"The A-20," you declare.

Ground crewmen rush about, hooking up fuel lines, checking ammo and going over the control surfaces for any missed damage or obstructions. It's almost soothing to see them rushing around the Douglass.

"Ever flown one of those beasts before?" Ian asks you.

"Hell yes. It was my advanced trainer at Twin-Engine school."

>>18144794

It must be this! Rommel Rommel Rommel

>>18144680

I'm going to have to vote for the massive amounts of GUNS this option provides. Sadly wikimagic tells me they only flew in the Pacific theater. So if one of them doesn't MAGICALLY show up, that gives us 4 7.7mm nose guns, 2 dorsal, and 1 on the belly. And bombs.

>>18144945
Yessss

>>18144945
