I just started getting into aerotech. Here are the first two battles between elements of the 17th Avalon Hussars and the 5th Sword of Light.
17th Avalon Hussars Aerospace Squadron
5th Sword of Light Aero Lance
BATTLE 1 Summary: A lone veteran
Corsair veers off to challenge one of the Kuritan
Shilones to combat. The remaining
Corsair escorts the flight of
Stukas.
TURN 1
The fighters merge. The
Corsair remains just outside of the
Shilone's LRM range.
TURN 2
Davion wins initiative. The
Corsair is able to move into range for his paired large lasers. The lasers hit the
Shilone's nose and cause significant damage, forcing a control roll. The Kuritan's succeeds in maintaining control. The
Shilone's LRMs pepper the
Corsair's nose and wings.
TURN 3
Davion wins initiative. The Davion pilot is able to keep himself in range while avoiding any possibility of return fire. Large lasers carve more armor off of the Shilone's nose and wing.
TURN 4
Kurita wins initiative. The Kuritan pilot puts more distance between his target, using the extra range of his LRM system to advantage. He is unable to score a hit, however.
TURN 5
Kurita wins initiative. The
Corsair uses some overthrust to stay within the confines of the battle zone. The Kuritan fires another round of LRMs, this time scoring some hits on the nose and tail of the
Corsair.TURN 6
Davion wins initiative. The Kuritan slows his momentum down to line up his shot. The Davion pilot uses overthrust to close range with the
Shilone. Both sides hammer each other and the
Shilone loses his LRM weapon in the exchange while the
Corsair loses a medium laser on the right wing.
TURN 7
Kurita wins initiative. The Davion fighter's momentum carries him past the
Shilone, which maneuvers into a favorable firing position to bring his medium lasers into play. Unfortunately for the Kuritan pilot, his large laser and a medium laser miss, with the remaining medium laser doing minimal damage to the
Corsair. TURN 8
Davion wins initiative. The
Corsair has a considerable advantage now at medium range and the Davion pilot takes advantage of it, score more hits on the
Shilone's nose. There's not much armor left there now.
TURN 9
Davion wins initiative. The
Corsair scores a big hit on the
Shilone's aft, destroying the Thornbush SRM-4 housed there. The other laser carves into the
Shilone's left wing.
TURN 10
Kurita wins initiative. The Kuritan pilot takes advantage of the loss of the
Corsairs right wing laser, but it doesn't matter. The
Corsair's large lasers nearly punch through the
Shilone's nose and wing armor. The
Shilone hits the
Corsair's engine, but the Kuritan pilot decides it is better to live to fight another day, so he bugs out, ceding the victory to Davion.
