Six AH/G-24 Banshee bombers appeared below Eric's fighter plane, avoiding the bile jets accelerated to twice the speed of sound by the jet organs. The tail of one of them was hit. This one had twin
The beautiful fighter plane with a turbofan engine then spun and fell.
Eric didn't have time to mourn, he just hoped that the pilot of the Banshee was not the nice guy who had a drink with him in the bar.
A single-seat bomber with very little armor, it is almost powerless to fight back against enemy fighters. Those who pilot it are all lone heroes.
Not all Banshee pilots are female, although they always have the largest proportion of female pilots among them. Never try to anger a Banshee, otherwise you can only pray that the laws of the Empire save your life.
The banshee pilots of the Tyranid Empire are not wild weeds like Eric. They all graduated from the Air Force Pilot School, Air Force Academy and Air Force Officer Candidate School in Umoyan or Antiga. They are all outstanding, seven
Only 3,000 out of 10,000 people can become fighter pilots.
Flying a fighter plane is not like driving around in a civilian aircraft. Operating a modern fighter plane is extremely complicated. The pilots of the Tyranid Empire should be true elites. At the same time, they should also be truly fearless.
Emperor Augustus said that every soldier of the revolutionary army (empire) is a hero of this era. They form the division of justice and the shield of mankind.
"In the direction of bullseye 150, a king insect was visually detected. Repeat, a giant king insect. The helium bags on both sides of its body are two hundred feet wide, a special variant." The voice came from Eric's wingman, who was like
It maintains formation flight as steadily as an albatross flapping its wings.
"A big guy, requesting attack instructions."
"No. 3, attack." Eric looked at the HUD display and took a deep breath from his oxygen breathing mask.
The experience of many battles with bugs tells Eric that a king bug will not appear alone in most cases. These giant bugs suspended in the sky are equivalent to the grassroots officers of human beings, or in other words,
It is a signal base station used to amplify the psychic link between the cerebrates and group members, and the cerebrates are controlling the zerg on the ground.
But the radar showed that there were no more big guys like this nearby. If there were, they should have been shot down by fighters on the periphery of the fighter formation.
"Climb to fifteen hundred feet." Swift 3 said:
"Lock the target and launch the missile."
"I have killed my enemy."
Eric was happy for the results achieved by his comrades in the formation, but if someone from another squadron had done it, he would not be able to hide his jealousy and taunt him.
The pilot of Swift 3 is a great guy, Holland Lancaster. Everyone calls him Kitten because during training he was teased by the instructor for punching weakly like a kitten. Now, Holland's boxing is better than anyone else's.
Everyone is fast and accurate.
Holland is very young, only 22 years old. His family is well-off and he became a pilot purely out of interest. Now, his family regrets their original support for him. This is undoubtedly a stupid child who is willing to fight for the so-called noble cause and
Such a grand but illusory concept as fighting for humanity steps onto the battlefield.
And Eric knew that Holland was just looking for excitement. He might have been convinced by the revolutionary army, but this guy never talked about revolution.
Fighter pilot is a high-risk profession, especially in increasingly fierce wars. Even if the fighter jet ejects before crashing, it would be worse than death if it falls into the hands of the Zerg. If they are caught by a tower
Darin Protoss, they may be willing to let these humans meet their tragic death in the gladiatorial arena.
At this time, Eric drove the Wraith fighter and spun to avoid a compressed bile shot into the air. Even though it was not big, it was enough to blow a fighter plane into scrap metal. Those fighters that were not fast enough and
Pilots who were not sharp enough have lost their lives.
So far, this huge mixed fleet has not encountered swarms of Zerg air forces, but the Zerg anti-aircraft firepower in Megaton City has shot down many fighters. At least, the Griffin Zerg Swarm and their command
The hated plague lord Carlos has yet to find a way to make the infected grow wings and fly.
But it's a matter of time.
So far, the bombing mission has gone completely as planned. In fact, the Air Force had carried out multiple armed reconnaissances long before the operation to ensure that Megaton was not a "loophole" deliberately exposed by the swarm.
At the same time, satellites in the geostationary orbit of Agria are also monitoring Magadon at all times, and a fleet of twelve battlecruisers is ready.
Eric has long stopped praying to God, but he really hopes that if there is a God, then ask him to let the righteous side win. If those Xel'Naga people were the gods in the past, then they must have sat down now
In a wheelchair, they ignored the disputes over their creations.
Speaking of which, Eric would rather seek strength from Emperor Augustus.
Under his chair is a portrait of Emperor Augustus enthroned. It is a gorgeous oil painting. On it, the emperor in military uniform is putting a crown on his beautiful and charming red-haired queen, symbolizing Mengsk.
The royal pack of wolves crawled at the emperor's feet.
Like many Imperial soldiers, Eric's dream girl is Princess Dorothy Mengsk, Duke Qilan. It is rumored that Princess Dorothy also has a sister, and there are old photos circulating, but now they are missing.
Imperial pilots may spend their free time dating female companions, but none of them get married.
This is a career that involves a narrow escape from death. During the Battle of Aiur, Eric saw ninety-five Avengers and Wraith fighter jets take off from the starport, and in the end only eleven returned to the air force base. Among the remaining people,
Only two people were rescued by protoss or friendly forces.
In the distant Helsain, there is an old woman waiting for Eric to return, and Eric just hopes that the woman will forget that she gave birth to him.
The fighter pilots of the Tyranid Empire come from hundreds of different worlds. Some worlds are on the edge of black holes, with huge waves, and some worlds have wide waters, but the water is as hot as hot springs. Each different world promises to be dazzling.
Mother, and most of them will only get a letter from the Empire, dear mother, your son/daughter was killed somewhere.
They will fight to the death, just to live here.
This is no longer the best time for Tyranid humans to survive, and separation between life and death is commonplace.
With a beep beep sound, the Banshee bombers in the flight formation adjusted their course and turned left to swoop down, followed by an even larger fleet of Grizzly bombers. The screams and explosions of dropping bombs were accompanied by billowing smoke.
Tens of thousands of high-explosive plastic bombs equipped with rocket propellers, cluster explosives and solid incendiary bombs were poured into the urban area of Megaton that had been completely eroded by the zerg infection. Each bomb weighed more than 1,000 pounds, nearly half a ton.
Hundreds of thick black smoke first rose from Megaton, and then turned into a sea of fire.
Eric, who was at a height of a thousand feet, could already see that the entire city of Megaton was burning. This was originally a green and beautiful city with urban roads extending in all directions and green city parks.
Magadun is now covered with dark purple and brown attachments. It has been ignited, with thick smoke bursting from the dark red flames. The debris and thick smoke raised by the explosion have greatly affected visibility.
The sun shines through the separated clouds, and the scene inexplicably adds a lot of sadness.
Magadon was not the first target to be completely destroyed. The entire main nest of the Griffin Swarm in Agria suffered a devastating blow, and the spore ejection organs and venomophages they used to spread the virus were also destroyed.
Tactical nuclear bombs targeted destruction.
The Griffin swarm does not seem to care about the gain or loss of land at all, and has not made any useful efforts to defend Agria. And according to Dr. Narud, the imperial royal biologist who is the most keen on alarmism, the brainworm Carlos
It is possible that you have achieved some of your goals.
New zerg variants have emerged, and they will become the weapons and vanguard of the swarm's next attack.
"Well done." Applause came from Eric's channel, and the Empire's Wraith fighter pilots did not hesitate to praise themselves.
Banshees, these pathetic bitches, have the advantage of being economical and productive, and can be quickly deployed to the front line, without the need to design additional ammunition for mounting. The disadvantage is also obvious, they are just targets for the wraiths.
. This version is nominally a stealth bomber, but it is only equipped with the stealth module of the Wraith fighter. In order to increase the amount of bombs dropped, maintaining the stealth endurance is very problematic, and other problems arise one after another. After all, in 2492, he obtained the title of Marshal Augustus.
After the bidding, Produstries completed the design and development, finalization and mass production in just two years.
But it is undeniable that the Banshee is still a very good strategic bomber, a masterpiece of the times that has emerged since Total War. Whether it is speed, stealth, bomb load or precise bombing, it has left behind the old bombers.
There are many types of aircraft, but what ultimately allowed Proxion to defeat other bidding companies was the Banshee's low cost and mobility as a medium bomber, which is only equivalent to 3/2 of a G-225 medical transport aircraft.
The Banshee is now the main model of the Tyranid Empire's bomber force, and has won the favor of the Imperial Air Force and Bomber Command.
She is still a close-ground fighter that can only travel in the atmosphere. It cannot reach escape velocity with its own turbine engine. Although it can also be pushed into space by adding rockets, the Banshee is not used in the space battlefield at all.
The Banshee was born about eight years earlier, which is also due to the fact that the Brood War was eight years earlier. With the continuous advancement of aviation technology, it is inevitable that fighter planes and warships that are getting faster and more maneuverable will continue to appear.
, especially when Emperor Augustus invested more than 30% of his fiscal revenue in the development of armaments.
The Koprulu sector is in a state of war. It is no longer the peaceful era of the past. Forced by powerful external enemies, the Terran Empire on the ruins of the Federation has liquidated the Founding Family and their ill-gotten wealth and concentrated resources.
and manpower, are transforming into rumbling war machines at an alarming speed.
For the various war weapons that the Tyran Empire was gradually debuting, the United Umoyan Republic also wanted a share of the pie. However, after Umoyan spies were discovered in Valhalla and several other weapon prototype bases, Emperor Augustus and Umoyan
The congressmen could only leave unhappy.
The Camorion Alliance quickly produced their version of the Wolf Warrior and the Banshee, but no one knew what price they paid.
Wraith fighter pilots are not jealous of the Banshee fighter's status. The two models are not in conflict with each other at all. Wraith is a powerful air superiority fighter and can protect fleets and capital ships at high speeds in the sky.
But according to the speed at which the empire's equipment is being updated, this situation shouldn't last long.
"Bomb drop completed, please return." Eric released the accelerator and once again looked at the entire battlefield from a God's perspective.
"Not allowed. Swift Squadron, ascend to an altitude of 20,000 feet for cruising." The commander's emotionless voice came from the headquarters.
Eric silently recited "Sicha" in his mind. In the minds of pilots, their commanders were idiots who couldn't even fly a plane, and they always kept repeating it endlessly.
"On the way, headquarters." Eric said.
"Three Griffin swarm battlecruisers are entering the atmosphere from high-altitude orbit. All Wraiths, stop them before support arrives. The remaining squadrons continue to perform escort missions."
A zerg battlecruiser, which was an extremely bizarre statement, even if Eric didn't have to prove how the zerg could build their own.
But they do exist, and there are many of them.
Those warships picked up from the garbage by the swarm have crashed or lost contact, but the zerg infection has turned them into living creatures. Many of these warships come from the former UED expeditionary force. It is said that
The crew members and captains there have long since turned into hideous monsters and walking zombies, but they still drive those ghost ships as they did in the past.
Among these captains, captains and fleet commanders hatched by the swarm, some still retain the wisdom and cunning captains of the past. The most famous among them is the former human hand, the commander of the UED expeditionary force Gerald Du
Gal.
It's just that Dugar's grand ambition to conquer the Koprulu Sector on behalf of the United Earth Council and humanity has turned into a joke.
"Yes, sir." Eric raised the nose of the Wraith fighter and went straight up into the sky through the clouds. A large number of Wraiths followed him and made the same move. At this time, the clouds were like a white sea, and
They just fell into the sea of clouds.
Wraith fighters are not afraid of battlecruisers. A large group of Wraiths can completely round up and hunt a lone battlecruiser, just like a pod of orcas surrounding baleen whales.
A battlecruiser wrapped in tentacles and tentacles has appeared in Eric's eyes. According to Mohu's painting and hull number, it is Dugar's flagship Alexander.
Thousands of tentacles overflowed from the cracks in the Alexander's deck, stabbing at Eric's Wraith fighter like moving snakes.
