When the Tyranid Flying Titan, which was over thirty meters long and had a wingspan of over forty meters, appeared, the Thunder Squadron immediately tried to intercept it. However, the laser cannons and automatic cannons carried by the Thunder Fighters themselves could not threaten the heavily armored Flying Titan.
, the missiles are basically all gone.
But even so, the auxiliary pilots flying the old Thunder fighter planes still fought with the large groups of Tyranids and soaring behemoths with the courage to risk their lives. One of the Thunder fighter planes was too focused on attacking the worms. As a result,
It collided head-on with the gargoyle that suddenly turned. The engine sucked in a large amount of debris and exploded directly. The wreckage of the fighter jet rotated and fell dragging thick smoke.
"Squadron 132 and 133, go intercept the gargoyles and leave the worms to us."
After arriving at the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, Kano immediately asked the Thunder Squadron to change the target of attack, and then rushed towards the tough women insect at the head of the team.
Laser ablation marks and bullet scratches can be seen everywhere on the huge flying titan's purple carapace covered with yellow spots. The eyeless head looks like a scratched wall, but this is actually a sign of unfamiliarity with the slut.
The misunderstanding of pilots is that the strongest thing about this creature is its head. Most of the sensory organs on its head have even been degraded for defense. It relies entirely on the surrounding gargoyles to provide visual and bioelectrical signals. Attacking the head is actually the worst effect.
of.
After making a sharp turn to avoid a group of gargoyles, Kano headed straight to the right side of the gargoyles like a blue comet, locked on the target with the assistance of the fire control system, and then opened fire continuously.
The flickering plasma quickly erupted at the phalanx in the middle of the worm's wings, where its biological cannon was located.
Being hit by the plasma, the huge flying Titan screamed angrily, causing a sound wave to form at high altitude, but this could not prevent the fact that its important long-range weapons were smashed.
This is the real weakness of the worms. Their biological cannons have almost no defensive protection and are even weaker than their thick wings. And most importantly, the worms do not have many weapons that can threaten transport ships.
The only thing this space vehicle has is two biological cannons. The two pairs of huge hooks on the lower body are deadly to fighter planes, but they are nothing to ships.
As the largest known flying unit of the Tyranids, the Harlequin is also the main spiritual node in the Tyranids' sky. The scream it emits after being attacked immediately attracts all the surrounding Tyranids. Kano soon heard the scan.
The device issued an urgent warning, and the screen was almost filled with dense red dots.
Kano was accustomed to this. With an afterburner and continuous cannon fire, he smashed the gargoyle trying to rot in front into pieces, and then quickly passed over the roaring worm's head, while the other three in the team
Voss Lightning suddenly came down from the diagonal right, and fired continuously from its cannon, smashing the Flying Titan's second biological cannon. The worm was even angrier after losing its biological cannon, but it did not pursue the lightning-fast fighter.
Instead, he accelerated his speed and rushed towards the transport ship, as if he was going to hit it head-on.
With its weight and hardness, it's hard to tell if it really hits it.
While Kano was directing the squadron to attack the witches, he suddenly pushed the nose of the aircraft downwards, then quickly rolled to avoid a series of speeding biological missiles.
The four sky witches seemed to be eyeing the fighter jet that had caused a lot of trouble, attacking from several directions, while the gargoyles kept appearing in the direction where he might maneuver, although the weapons in their hands could not threaten this swift fighter jet at all.
, but can interfere with its maneuvering.
Kano then released a series of decoy bombs, attracting more biological missiles, and suddenly pulled up, performing an S maneuver that was unbearable for mortals, and quickly locked onto a Sky Witch. After a brief roar of the cannon, the creature
Dragging his broken wings and spine, he fell wailing to the ground. At this time, he seemed to be turning a blind eye to the ferocious worm that was heading towards the transport ship, and was only focused on hunting the Sky Witch.
But in fact, it's because the real Titan Hunters in the sky are already in place.
Three huge silver aircraft roared and swooped down from a higher level, firing a round of hell strike missiles towards the broad back of the worm. Then the twin revenge bolt cannons on the nose began to roar, firing deadly armor-piercing projectiles into the missiles.
The chitinous carapace was shattered into pieces and full of cracks. At the same time, the spherical turrets located on both sides of the wide and thick fuselage also began to use twin heavy laser cannons to shoot at the gargoyles crowded near the worms.
These three Flame Raptors were specially deployed at ultra-high altitudes to deal with the STC of the Flame Raptor. Originally, when Soshyan obtained the STC of the Flame Raptor, he did not like this slightly bulky fighter plane. However, due to the attack of Mazar and others,
Highly recommended, he still placed some orders with forge worlds such as Griffin IV, but the turrets on both sides of the fuselage were modified and changed into energy weapons, because the revenge bolt cannon is a very ammunition-consuming weapon. If
If live ammunition weapons are used on both sides of the fuselage, the amount of ammunition loaded will be insufficient, which will affect the continuity of combat. It just so happens that the power of the Flame Raptor is relatively sufficient, and it can be equipped with a certain amount of energy weapons.
But even if twelve were eventually produced, they would spend most of the subsequent battles gathering dust in warehouses and having little use. However, when it came time to fight against the Tyranids, the Flame Raptor suddenly had a very critical mission.
——The current fighter aircraft in the Astral Knight's arsenal, including the Storm Claw, are difficult to kill Titan-level creatures like the Harvest Insect in a short period of time, and the Thunder Eagle is not fast enough to execute such a task.
The mission is very risky, and it is easy to be entangled by a large number of gargoyles.
As a variant of the Storm Eagle, the Flame Raptor inherits the speed and maneuverability of the Storm Eagle, making it faster and more flexible than the Thunder Eagle. In terms of firepower, although the twin revenge bolt cannons are not as powerful as the Thunder Eagle's Turbo Laser Destroyer,
It has destructive power, but its continuous attack capability is stronger and its lethality is not low. It is more suitable for dealing with relatively fast flying targets.
So the Flame Raptors, which had always been neglected, finally found their place on the Tyrannic battlefield. They formed a hunting team of three, doing nothing but patrolling at super high altitudes.
After hearing the news, they immediately rushed over to hunt them. With their ferocious firepower and extremely fast speed, even groups of gargoyles were unable to do anything to them.
After being hit hard by the flaming raptor, the huge crocodile finally couldn't hold on any longer, and streams of pus and blood spurted out from its huge mouth full of sharp teeth. Various fragments mixed with broken soft tissues sprinkled a rain of blood on the ground.
The fatal blow came from the wing root of the left wing. A series of bullets tore the tendons and made it completely lose its balance. Although it flapped its wings vigorously, it began to fall uncontrollably.
The three Flame Raptors chased and killed the opponent until they completely lost their ability to fly and fell to the ground. Then they turned around and rushed high into the sky along with the trembling transport ship.
After a terrifying voyage, although there were some crucified wrecks of Tyranid creatures outside the hull, the transport ship still reached the edge of the atmosphere and began to run towards a safe orbit. However, the mission of the Rahman team was still
It's not over, because the second transport ship also takes off...
