Bright white flares descend gently towards the churning smoke and raging fires that spread across the black surface of Sunda Strait. Somewhere in that carnage are your assets - your comrades in arms, your girls and your best friend - and you can't be sure where they are.

“Naresuan, sitrep?”

“Heavy flooding, one turbine offline. Primary air and surface search radars are out of action, but we've got a fire-control radar left and a few ESSM's in the cells yet,” comes the immediate reply in accented English - no translator go-between. “Captain was wounded - I'm the XO.”
“Right. Set a northern coast and get the hell out of there at best speed - hug the coastline, the shore defenses should be able to cover you.” You switch channels without waiting for confirmation. “Steadfast, how copy?”

“Heavy damage - one shaft's seized, but we flooded the shaft galleries fighting the avgas fire and power was knocked out to those pumps,” comes the reply after a moment for translation. “Primary radar's online but our VLS is empty. Still taking on water forward but the pumps are keeping up.” You flick your eyes up to the Global Hawk feed - there's two of them now, pooling cameras - and see the fire is still burning on Steadfast's rear deck.

“What about the fire?”

“It's not threatening anything important,” comes the reply.

“Can you make headway? Can you beach her?” The bottom is shallow in the Strait and fairly gradual - if Steadfast can reach the sand, she can be repaired and refloated with little trouble at a later date.

“Admiral, our main gun is still working,” comes the objection. “And we are Naresuan's eyes right now.”

You glance at the tactical plot - and see Naresuan is flagrantly disobeying orders; turning eastward to link up with Sendai and Jintsuu, who've just come into visual range of the fray. You cede to the inevitable - they're determined to fight their ships to the last, at least while there's friendlies on the field. You switch frequencies. “Hate, you hear me?”

“HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Hate damn near yodels into his radio, his voice quavering like he's riding a school bus hitting bumps. “HOLY SHIT SKIPPER DID YOU SEE-”

“I did,” you confirm as the ops personnel kindly redirect a camera to find Hate's PT squadron; the full-sized boats weaving and winding as their triple aero engines scream through the mist and smoke, circling Naka and Harder like wary dogs. The abyssal cruisers are lost somewhere beneath a thick smokescreen they've been laying for long minutes now - you suspect they deployed smoke floats at some point. It's fairly opaque even to infa-red; but it seems what's left of them have decided to turtle.

The Indonesian F-16 pilots are still making their runs, their FACs screaming in almost suicidally low as pom-pom's probe for them amidst the nasty black puffs of flak bursts. They're firing phosphorus rockets, nailing their targets directly from almost point-blank range before screaming overhead and climbing away on full afterburner, the shock-diamonds in their exhaust vivid against the dark sky. The strike craft, their Kedge's spent, are circling overhead.

The tactical plot updates - new little blue circles.

“Who's that?” you demand.

“Malaysian Hawks,” Ops replies. “They're slinging iron bombs.”

I'm deliberately omitting map updates now because the situation has become so fucked that not even Settle can really tell what's going on. Effectively, Naka and Harder are a few miles south of Sangiang island, retreating north at the speed of molasses (because lel towing), the abyssals exact positions are unknown but their cruisers don't seem to be giving chase anymore - suitable, because they got blasted pretty hard. Perth and Houston are likewise unaccounted for - you lost track of them after Naka broke formation to attack the abyssal cruiser line.

So now it's a question of taking a chance to put BB-4 on the bottom permanently, or guaranteeing a smooth extraction north.

This probably isn't the best time to have this discussion, but what the hell.

My thinking on the matter is as follows: we don't know what kind of numbers the Abyssals have, but it's almost certainly more than we have. And as time goes on the ratio will probably widen in their favor, if the increasing operational complexity they've displayed is any indication. And if the healing factor we've seen in shipgirls also applies to Abyssals, they can maintain a tempo that will wear down conventional forces. So any loss we suffer is more costly than it would be for the Abyssals.

We're basically in the same position Japan was in WWII, facing an enemy that we can't beat through attrition, and will only grow stronger with time. That argues in favor of playing very conservatively with our forces.

While true, there's the consideration that BB-4 and the rest of the Abyssal invasion fleet can now regroup and continue to their original target.
We may have reduced the numbers of the troop transports, but it may not have been enough to force them to abort their mission.

Now, that aside, how fast is BB-4 moving?
Because even if a path north is cleared, if Naka and Harder aren't faster than BB-4, she'll just catch up to them anyway and take them out.

Do we even have the assets to sink the invasion fleet?
The Abyssals still have BB-4, two or three cruisers, and the transport ships.
We have two busted up conventional ships with a few anti-ship missiles and a single gun between them, four unaccounted for shipgirls (two destroyers and two cruisers who are out of ammo), air assets are spent except for 1 more force with iron bombs, and Naka and Harder can no longer fight.

Hey PF: ships have been shot to hell, sunk, refloated, and repaired many times in the past. Has anyone done that with a shipgirl (or admitted having done so)?

>>45969650
The capability to scatter yourself across the enemy's decks doesn't count as being armed.
>>
>>45969714
And we don't have the firepower to stop them at this point, so getting everyone out is our best option.
>>
>>45969714
We'll have to accept that possibility.

Sure, optimally we would have destroyed all transports, but you can't always 100% an entire enemy fleet. Instead what we did was significantly weakened it and made any eventually attack much more vulnerable to coastal defenses.
>>
>>45969605
Oh fuck, here we go..!

>>45969714
We've done significant damage to their forces. The shore defenses and Indonesian Army are enough to make them re-consider their landing.

Come to that, do we even know what the fuck their marines ARE? Did we ever get a report back from Iwo Jima?

I seriously doubt it's that simple. Beards, bearded axes and beardy attitudes aren't going to worry anyone behind a machine gun and entrenched position.

I don't want to guess too much. It might give planefag ideas.

I'm still holding out hope for fairy USMC though, or Imperial Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces. Tiny little people with serious expressions and tiny machine guns, bazookas, anti-tank rifles and mortars are the coolest thing ever.

>>45969759
>much more vulnerable to coastal defenses.
But if BB-4 remains able to move and fire, she and the cruisers can take out coastal defenses so that the transports can land.
The coastal defenses here likely don't have anything that can penetrate BB-4's armor, after the Leveling Effect.
>>
>>45969859
Perth and Houston ARE our new girls.
Unless you're talking about Essex, who's still in Iwo.

>>
>>45969895
So they can chop through tank armour or move like the wind? We still have range and besides, the Vikings were mostly effective against unprepared, soft targets. The number of times they went up against a hard target or equal force and won can't be more than a handful.

>>45969915
"Whether the stone hits the glass, or the glass hits the stone, it ain't gonna hurt the stone."
>>
>>45969915
Yes, when the impactor is an aluminium shell wrapped around some aviation fuel. The faster you're going, the closer you get to a Newtonian Impact, where all you care about is the length of the projectile and the relative densities of impactor and impact surface. And steel armour plate is a HELL of a lot denser than any modern jet fighter.
>>
>>45969915
Yes, they can.

Also, good luck trying to steer a fighter into a relatively small target like a BB turret in supersonic speeds.
>>
>>45969915
Frankly? Yeah.
If AP rounds can overpenetrate and do minimal to no damage at times, a supersonic hit from a plane THAT WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO KILL BY CRASHING is nothing.
>>
>>45969895
So Hypothetical Ragnar and his merry men are highly bullet-resistant, like 40k Space Marines?

Bullets are supersonic. I doubt you are going to find a rifle that can sink a battleship. The Yams-gun excluded.

There's a point where you have to give up trying to apply logic and science to it. It's magic and mystical stuff that follows the rules of PLOT and while that makes it SUPREMELY frustrating to account for, it starts to make a bit more sense like that.

Think of the Abyssals as the fucking Unseelie and you're close, I'd say...

It makes perfect sense when you consider what kind of awful abominations would come out of an abyssal longboat.

Unless the invasion fleet is similarly beaten the fuck up, which seems likely. Seriously, people assuming that the invasion fleet is just fine after it ate 80 torpedoes is just silly.

Navy just had a disagreement with Planefag because he ultimately got turned off by his salt-based writing style. Essex was just what lit the powder keg.

Yeah, but then, see, the problem fucking becomes "WHO IS NEW BASE HOTTIE SEEN WITH AMERICAN MARINE ON RANGE? LETS ALL FIND THE FUCK OUT" and it becomes a NEVER ENDING FUCKING PROBLEM.
>>
>>45970727
Yes, she DID. She bitched about it, but she did. The only thing she didn't do was fire all of her torpedoes as she turned and withrew, but Tatsuta did fire hers. And given how Tenryuu made a close-range torpedo run and the cruisers maneuvered impossibly well to dodge them even THEN, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Tenryuu turned around to charge the cruisers because Tatsuta had been knocked out by fire even while retreating under smoke, and the only way to save her was to charge the enemy cruisers and draw their fire. Otherwise, trying to set up a crawl-pace tow whilst already zeroed by enemy fire is suicide.
>>
>>45970747
Nope. They'd have been Torpedo Bait in these straits.
>>
>>45970747
>Would Yamato and Arizona have done better here?
I've said it in previous threads, but I don't think so. A battleship would have been able to bottle up the invasion fleet but its escorts would have had to either completely abandon Houston and Perth or leave the BB open to getting absolutely swarmed by the fleet's escorts. We were barely able to have bodies present for every fight in this battle as it is.

And, you know, sometimes a major strategic victory just isn't possible with what you have. I think if we can eke out a crippling of the invasion fleet for follow-up attacks and extract most of our forces, we'll have done good.
>>
>>45970735
Missiles = kamikazes.
>>
>>45970784
I highly doubt that we could hide Yamato by simply disguising her. Her gun armament is unique to her class and in order to use it she has to summon her rig, which itself is also unique.
>>
Wasn't this supposed to be a secret land invasion where they reveal NEW ABYSSAL LAND TECH while they still have initiative from Bonin? If they invade Jakarta with their forces depleted like this they'll give away all their capabilities only to be crushed after taking a single objective on what was intended to be a massive campaign.

If BB-4 sticks around to shell after being crippeld by torps, we can hunt her down easily later. They hve to retreat.

The invasion fleet is not retreating. We are. They have achieved their strategic objective of passing through the strait, we have failed to achieve ours of either preventing their passage or crippling their fleet enough to prevent a landing. Unless the invasion fleet is more damaged than we are aware off, this appears a major defeat.

You eye the situation - and make the call. You don't know how badly wounded that predread is, but you know Hate put at least two torpedoes into her - it might not sink her, but it ought to slow her down a lot, and she wasn't fast to begin with. The smoke and chaos work as much in your favor as hers; even with the abysmally low speed Naka is making with wounded Harder in tow, they have a good chance of clearing the area before Iowa can pull within effective gun range. With visibility so bad, she can do little more than waste 12 inch ammo and pray for a lucky hit.

The numerous escorts, corvettes, destroyers and kaibokans in the abyssal landing fleet, however, are another matter.

Incorrect, they're regrouping while still inside the strait. Steadfast and Naresuan and Jintsuu and Naka still hold the mouth of the strait. They might make a run for it, but they haven't yet.

You espy the survivors of Kasturi's squadron mingling with the PT boats; the Spica gunboats circling and darting just as aggressively as their predecessors. Lekir and her lone Spica are somewhere in the midst of the Abyssal fleet - you've lost track of them; they've turned off all their radios and are sneaking through the carnage as quietly as possible. You still can't see where Perth and Houston have gone, they've stopped responding to hails, and now you're pulling your last supporting assets from the area, and committing your meager reserve of air-power. You lost them somewhere in the smoke and mist after Naka launched her sole torpedo attack.

You've done everything you can - used every asset as efficiently as possible. Now all you can do is pray.

The Malaysian Hawks are small aircraft, but fast and nimble. They overfly the area once, standing on their wingtips as they study the landscape ten-thousand feet below. You see them fly off over Java, then circle back slowly.

“Sir, the squadron leader says he can't guarantee the effectiveness of a dive-bombing attack,” someone in ops passes along. “The smoke is too high and thick, and the enemy's maneuvering to hide under it. If they can't see wakes they can't lead their movements.”

The Malaysian fighters drop towards the surface of the Strait, slipping into the wind-churned layer of mist shielding their foes. The infa-red blazes as they hit full throttle. The squadron indicators on the tactical plot vanish as each individual plane is rendered instead; little numbers indicating the telemetry link's strength and the readouts of their radar altimeters. They're carrying a pair of 2,000 pound bombs each and a centerline gun pod, and from the way they're flying they intend to score with them. Some of the targets are still marked, brilliantly burning white phosphorus guiding the pilots through the smoke, but others are invisible till they open fire, their light guns winking like fireflies in the dark. The Hawks quaver side to side, pilots leaning on their rudders hard, but not bothering with stronger evasives - with such poor visibility, it's simply a matter of luck and lead quotient, and everyone knows it. Flak bursts begin to bloom just over the mist, the Hawks trailing faint wide wakes as their engine's thunder ripples against the sea, chased by scattered white splashes as missed shells arc into the water. The fighters diverge as they approach; squadron and section leader's orders untranslated, but their tone unmistakable - they're picking targets and pairing off to attack.

As they close on the final stretch the mist seems to come alive with hissing, sizzling tracers of every sort - you catch a glimpse of a fighting top peeking through the smoke, a nordenfelt gun blazing away at the incoming fighters. The Hawk's belly pods wink as they return fire, 30mm Aden gunpods lofting HE shells downrange to silence the AA guns. There's a bright flash, then a long trailing plume of fire stretching across the ocean as the remnants of a Hawk are smeared over the strait. The survivors keep stomping their rudders, walking cannon fire over their targets till they pull up sharply, the little planes peeling off the deck and arching away into vertical climbs. Their bombs are mere flicks of shadow in the smoke, brief suggestions of white, foamy spray indicating where they're skipping and bouncing off the still water - and then there's only the blasts, titanic reports that dispel the smoke in concussion waves to reveal the bright pyres of dying ships, sundered in twain and sinking. The Hawks roll out and reform as the Indonesian F-16s come daring back in, their 20mms twinkling on their own strafing runs.

“Admiral so-and-so, are you there?” The voice is husky, but somehow melodic.

“Houston?”

“And my little friend,” she confirms. “Ah just shook that un-holy wide-assed whore, but I'd love to know how we're leaving this party.”

“North!” you instruct. “We've cleared a path with airstrikes - any ship swinging anything bigger than three-inch is a hulk now.” You sincerely hope. “What's your best speed?”

“We can still make twenty knots.”

“That'll do - we put a few torpedoes into that battleship, she won't be able to catch you.”

“Ah sincerely hope,” she replies, sending a chill spreading through your gut. You pick up the two cruisers on the plot a few seconds later - their radios have been roughly triangulated, and the Global Hawks have gained a tentative fix on them as wounded ships sail northward out of the battle area, heading for the thinner, uncontaminated fog north of Sangiang island, where the shore isn't shadowing the night breeze blowing from the East.

>>45970930
False, their first run on the strait failed from the torpedo strike, they were forced to pull back and regroup.

The issue is that if they have enough forces left to make another run, if they make another run on the strait again they'll most likely make it through, but at this point the element of surprise is lost and it'll be day light soon.

“There,” Goto says, pointing. You take a second to register it - you haven't heard his voice in what feels like weeks. The quiet, knowing syllables almost feel alien in your ears.

“Pardon?”

“There,” he says, flicking his own laser pointer at one of the Hawk 'cams. “That silhouette. It's not a cruiser.”

Ops personnel are already refocusing the feed, flipping through filters - and abruptly, from the smears and suggestions of shape and shadow emerges the silhouette of a predreadnaught battleship, twin turrets and squat, powerful looking superstructure. She's giving chase.

“Hail Lekir. Hail them now!” you reply. “Tell them we NEED a reply!”

A second later Lekir appears on the tactical plot, nearing the north-east edge of the ever-growing uncertainty circle encompassing everywhere the vessels of the abyssal invasion fleet *could* be if they're still afloat and sailing; an unknown that only grows with time. Your telemetry link is back - if only because they're communicating via secure satcomm on directional radios aimed at the MILSTAR satellites in geosynch orbit. “Admiral?”

“Lekir, we've got a target for you. Abyssal battleship, only seven or eight miles off your bow.”

“Are you sure? These are the last few missiles in the fleet, and at this range-”

“What are your chances of closing for a closer shot, at this point?”

A moment of silence. Another. “We've been ducking into smoke or behind burning wrecks to get this far - nothing's spotted us or taken a swipe yet.”

But they're still in the middle of the enemy, as you can see yourself - if they go full throttle to the rescue, that could change in a hurry.

“If you want us to, we'll try,” the skipper says after a moment. “Give the order.”

You eye the plot again, weighting factors. Harder could still have a hull patch fail, or the FFGs forced to beach due to a failed pump. It's not enough to outrun BB-4; you need that persistent bastard to *retreat.*

Guts or glory aside they're worth far less strategically and they know what they signed on for when they showed up for this fight. Now isn't the time to baby them. As a bonus there's always the chance that something important gets hit like a mag and the target goes straight down to the bottom.

The Lekir is already inside BB-4s effective firing range, or damn close to it. Going full throttle may give a better chance to evade shots but it also paints a giant target on our asses. Better keep playing dead until MISSILE SURPRISE.

Firing from where we are risks Iowa not taking hits and continuing the chase, leaving us fucked. Lekir and the Spica will also have revealed themselves in the middle of the invasion fleet.
Moving and then firing will reveal Lekir and the gunboat before they fire, risking that they'll be caught and destroyed before they can get their shots off, but making it more likely that Iowa will be damaged enough to drop out of the chase.

Coldly, it's worth the gamble. We risk one ship for the sake of the rest of the fleet, or we risk nothing now and everything later. If Lekir can get out, then so much the better, but it's more important right now that she get IN.

And I am going to hate myself for the rest of the night for thinking that way.

If it's any consolation, those kinds of human life trades are built into the design philosophy of gunboats like that already. They don't have survivability, they don't have any life expectancy beyond 'delivering your payload if you aren't' caught and fucked first'. Whether you're fighting soviets or chinks or abyssals or the united states, that holds true.
This is also probably why their crews ball the fuck out so hard
>>
>>45971520
Sure, it's 'awesome', but not on the scale of Sherman, Katsuri, the gunboats, potentially Bat Lead (speaking of which, message away), or the fallen of those two FFGs that got shot up.

>Coldly, it's worth the gamble. We risk one ship for the sake of the rest of the fleet, or we risk nothing now and everything later. If Lekir can get out, then so much the better, but it's more important right now that she get IN.

The Lekir is going to be sunk either way. The gamble is whether she can launch her missiles first, or did we just waste our one chance at slowing down the Iowa before she wrecks our shit.

DARPAfag obviously has raided that thread, because his first idea in the previous thread was a near word for word rip of it.

You eye the plot again, trying to get a solid grasp on Time and Space, looking for the narrow gap where you can leverage your meager Force to greatest effect. But the battlefield is too cluttered, the chaos of a night battle too complete - and Tenryuu and Tatsuta are still out of contact. If they're bleeding out on a beach, you *need* to buy as much time as possible.

In the end, there's no real choice. Light cruisers outweigh a corvette.

“Full throttle,” you command. “If the target clears the smoke before you have a visual, we'll set up an attack then, as soon as possible.”

“Copy that,” comes the reply, and soon Lekir's speed is ticking up steadily; the little vessel quick on the helm. Her Spica stays by her side, shielding her from the bulk of the abyssal invasion fleet like a picket.

“Anything from Tenryuu?” Goto asks.

You are blind.

Something dark and thick is dripping into your eyes, and for some reason you can't seem to steer straight - the water's piling up on your left side, like you're turning constantly, requiring hard starboard rudder to keep you crabbing somewhat forward. You feel along the water's surface, the gentle waves seeming to slide beneath your gloved palms like silk.

“TATSUTA!” you scream. “TATSUTA, WHERE ARE YOU!?”

Your voice echoes away through the darkness; rebounding off a distant shoreline like distant mockery - salvation so close, and you unable to find it.

“TATSUTA, PLEASE!” you wail. “GOD DAMN YOU, ANSWER ME!”

“Tenryuu...”

“TATSUTA!” you wail, relief washing through you like rain. You scrabble forward, still crabbing, still dragging a useless leg through the waves. Your hands patter around till they find your sister, lying prone on the water. “TATSUTA!” you shake her.

“Tenryuu-”

“Yes! Yes! Talk to me!” you wail, doing your damnedest to swallow the sobs rising in your throat.

“You're hurting my ears,” she says quietly.

You laugh despite yourself.

“I'm glad my discomfort amuses you so much,” Tatsuta comments icily - and for some reason that just makes you laugh harder, kneeling on the surface by your sister, tears of joy trickling through the coal-dust contaminated oil blinding your eyes.

“They blew them up,” you tell her. “They blew them up with missiles. We just have to get-”

A gloved finger against your lips.

“You have to go, honey.”

This is funny and unnerving at the same time.

“BUT TATSUmmm!” you object as your sister's full hand clamps down on your jaw, her grip still viselike and impossible to shake.

“I took an armor-piercing shell right through my boilers,” Tatsuta tells you softly. “Holed two and blew out the fires in the third. I've been trying to make steam but the uptakes were just shredded by one of those six-inch hits...” she sighs.

“You're still floating!” you insist. “I'll rig a tow-line-”

“No,” Tatsuta says again. “I'm taking on water-”

“The shore is right there-”

“I already did the math,” Tatsuta says quietly. “It's still too far. I can't power my pumps. It's too late, Tenryuu.”

You feel the sobs rising now, choking off all your words as the reality falls upon your head, crushing you into the water. Your last reserves of desperate strength seem to be spent.
“If you rig a tow it might just pull you down with me,” Tatsuta says quietly. There's a soft sound of rustling cloth, and then her ungloved hand is stroking your cheek. “Tenryuu,” she says quietly. “Tenryuu, what are you going to do without me?”

Holy crap. Four Talos and *twelve* Tartar launchers? And those look like twin-arm launchers to boot... plus Polaris missiles? Yeesh.

The second one is *slightly* more sane, with only two Talos and four Tartar launchers, plus it isn't all-missile.

Which book is this, by the way?

The sound of your sister's voice breaking sounds like a mirror hitting concrete. The world seems to spin around you as your senses drain away; a growing sense of unreality stealing over you. This is not a world that can exist - where the steel beneath your sister's velvet glove has shattered, where you're saying goodbye in a pissant nowhere strait so very, very far from home.

“I love you,” Tatsuta's distant voice says. And other things, but now you can't hear her for the sobbing, the awful, wracking sobs that seem to be ripping you apart from inside out. It's too awful to be borne, too awful to contemplate - you feel something deep within lurch and tear, and then your conscious mind is disintegrating as you scream.

You wrap your arms around your sister, cinching them tight with all your strength. You feel a tingling in your forearms as your crew races out with every cable and hauser at their disposal, lashing you to your sibling.

You scream into the night, crying for help, help from anyone, only to hear your own voice echoing off that distant shoreline again.

It's a sound like a car crash; the crunching undertone that underlies the CLANG, the instinctual dreadful anticipation pounding into your spine harder than the impact slams your tailbone.

Everyone in the cramped little bunkroom looks up, helmets clanking against the steel walls and upper bunks. A moment of pregnant silence

“What the fuck was *that?*” Ricky marvels.

A burst of automatic gunfire rattles from above, and is suddenly silenced.

Adrenaline surges through your system as you spring off the bunk, feeling light, almost without mass as your squad books through the tight hatch, falling into single-file through long experience on old ships like this one. The steep, narrow ladder into the superstructure rattles under the rapid footfalls of two dozen boots as you fly up the steps two at at time.

You're already in the main deck, sweeping every corner as you advance when someone finally reaches a PA system:

“BOARDERS! WE'RE BEING BOARDED!”

The Hawk dips in leisurely, flaps down as it seems to drift through the tracers and pom-pom fire probing through the mist for it. The pilot seems unaware of anything but his target; the kaibokan trading shells with the maneuvering Spica. The ADEN pod thunders, the Malaysian pilot carefully walking his fire down the kaibokan's deck, light guns failling silent as the 30mm HE shells spray the deck with fire and shrapnel. The Spica heels around hard, no longer fearing the 37mms - an Exocet screams from its tube and arrows into the superstructure of the abyssal at almost point-blank range, blowing one of its forward guns clean off the mount and into the sea.

You hear voices in your ear again; voices asking for permission, for guidance, for salvation, but there's nothing left to offer. You have no more assets to reach out with, nothing that can pluck the ancient viking longboat from Lekir's side. Hate is screaming for permission, his voice kicking in your eardrum, but even at forty-five knots, he'll never make it in time - he's miles out of position. Lekir will have to fight alone.

Perth and Houston are tacking again, laying layers of smoke in their wake to complicate Iowa's targeting - her magazines seem inexhaustible, her foreward turret still flinging shells out as often as she can manage, probing for her elusive quarry. The wounded ship is slow, but inexorable; her old-fashioned, multi-layered armor scheme backed up by voluminous coal bunkers all but invulnerable to the six and eight inch batteries of Perth and Houston.

You used Time and Space as nimbly as you knew how - as nimbly as anyone could, you feel - but in the end, it has finally ground down to sheer raw force, and you didn't bring enough.

There's only one option remaining to you - the method by which admirals of old would move above the earth and below the seas to evade detection and spirit their forces away from the enemy. The technique your foe's used to such great effect against you, so many times. Your mind conjures the somber slab-sided bulk of the armored cruisers, saluting your ships with powder-only charges before turning to retreat. You think of that cold voice, that ice-kissed razor tone slipping through the phone, speaking Shigure's name.

Deception. Psychology.

More and more voices are thundering into your ear, but you hear them less and less, a private silence growing about you like a spell. For the first time you wonder who commands the abyssals - who directs their efforts, organizes their strikes. Who lures them, reassures them, compliments them - who commands them?

Who hold's Iowa's reins?

And how do you make the son-of-a-bitch PULL them?


[ ] BB-4 has seen the determination of your forces. Is she sure she wants to keep pushing, especially now, wounded, slowed, with her allies shattered and in disarray? Does she really want to see what a ramming attack by a heavy cruiser can do? Does she want to discover what flaming avgas can do? After what she's witnessed this night, does she really want to keep pushing her goddamned luck?

[ ] BB-4 is a traitor. A betrayer of the most sacred creeds of her country. She is a coward, laying traps and chasing after weaker targets. It's a wickedness that no loyal soldier can stand the thought of. Did she think Hamp's appearance was a coincidence? A one-off? This is her last chance to fuck off, lest she wake something she'd much rather stayed asleep.

But she still has an actual ship body. So far as we've seen so far, it's still dependent on physical movement. Even at flank, it would still take days if not a week for them to reach the battlezone from LA.

Not bloody likely. Firehoses aren't rigid, they rely on internal water pressure to keep their shape. Wouldn't be possible to use them as a vacuum. The pump has to be at the intake end.

1. They were literally sailing right through the (now very scattered and chaotic remnants of) the abyssal invasion fleet, and

2. Visibility is extremely poor what with the thick fog, lack of wind and oh, a shitload of ships on fire and burning for the better part of an hour now.

Aww yeah

>>45974688
I'm asking you, Lieutenant. I don't need to read some book most likely written up by some desk jockey somewhere that hasn't seen action in his entire life using reports from the same.

I'm.
Asking.
You.
>>
>>45974719
yeah, its well...lackluster, in the graphics department. Would've been better to get the arcade game as Kai.
>>
>>45974719
It gets worse, I heard that company that owns the shipsluts just bought out the company that owns Armored Core.
>>
>>45974691
>KCKai
aha
AHAHAHA
You should post screens when you get Iowa, just for shits 'n giggles.
And get some more shit man jesus christ even Neptunia outclasses KCKai

Wasn't it Ramadi, Hate?

IT'S AN INTERNATIONAL RELEASE
SO WHAT IF ITS NOT TRANSLATED
AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO DO VPN NINJITSU SHIT TO PLAY IT
>>
[X] BB-4 has seen the determination of your forces. Is she sure she wants to keep pushing, especially now, wounded, slowed, with her allies shattered and in disarray? Does she really want to see what a ramming attack by a heavy cruiser can do? Does she want to discover what flaming avgas can do? After what she's witnessed this night, does she really want to keep pushing her goddamned luck?

Part of me thinks that some Abyssals are literally just following orders and that their prior lives dont' make much sense.
>>
>>45974770
Impossible, From's small compare to Kadokawa.
>>
>>45974773
Neptunia beats a lot of things Anon.
>>45974782
its literally the browser game with some extra bits and bobs, like live2D.

He was in bot zones iirc.

See:
>>45974756
>>45974773
But once again, do I care? No, as long as I get to play the fucking game.
Which I can't at the moment. Lulz.
>>
>>45974836
How is Battlefleet Gothic?
>>
>>45974719
sounds like typical minimally viable product, they make it just barely fun, and then sell premium fun in the cash shop

the second video game crash can't come soon enough
>>
>>45974891
They have made some damn peculiar decisions for multiplayer, but the campaign looks fucking great.
>>
>>45974416
>Part of me thinks that some Abyssals are literally just following orders and that their prior lives dont' make much sense.
That defense doesn't work even when you ARE fighting for your own country.

Iowa isn't even doing that much.

The only fucking thing she would need to do is sail right on over and ask for asylum.

Even if we didn't accept and sunk her, that would still be preferable to being a traitor if she was actually loyal.

But she isn't, and I'm far from being sympathetic.
>>
>>45974852
yeah well, kadokawa. And it /still/ managed to be one of the top sellers the week it was released. Because waifuism.
>>
I would honestly like to see a Warhammer 40,000 anime, or at least an attempt at one.
>>
>>45974907
Thing is, there's no cash shop. KC is a solid, if barebones game. The problem is, Kai didn't do much to expand on it, given they had two years to fiddle around
>>
>>45974773
I bought the Vita solely for KCKai.

Also, how does one get Iowa again?
>>
>>45974957
>Thing is, there's no cash shop
Yes there is.
>>
>>45974979
I think you have to beat the Pearl Harbor boss on Hard difficulty. That's just what I've heard, though
>>
>>45974949
You just had to remind me of the guy who married his 3DS VN waifu.
>>
>>45974953
>Warhammer 40k anime
I'd rather have MGNQ animated. It's about the same thing, with more heresy.
>>
Fuck it, I'm out. I'll see just how badly I fucked up voting for traitor in the morning.
>>
>>45974979
pukingmadotsuki.png
>>
>>45974957
It's a lot more resource management heavy than the standard game, though.
>>
>>45974990
KC vanilla has a fairly obvious cash shop, but I thought they replaced it with a non-cash system in Kai?
>>
>>45974953
i wouldn't the japs would fuck it up making it harem or some shit
>>
>>45974990
how much did you waste on bote?
>do you remember how many breads you have eaten in your life?
>>
>>45975046
Oh you mean the shitty vita game. No it doesn't have a shop.
>>
>>45974953
I have actually thought about how that would work. I think it being a rogue trader having adventures in space with a fairly diverse crew that would allow for a look into AdMech, Imp guard, arbites, etc...
>>
>>45975057
That's exactly why I want to see a 40k anime. It'd be glorious. Probably spawn a new Chaos god from the sheer rage generated.
>>
>>45975057
>Implying the Adeptus Sororitas isn't a Yuri setting waiting to happen
>>
>>45975057
Not every single anime is a fucking harem.
>>
>>45975041
Hey crix, what did you mean by 'water down your paints' a few threads earlier?
It's been buggin' me.
>>
>>45973053
>You don't fucking marry one of the allfather's Handmaidens, anon.

Not with that attitude, Lt.
>>
>>45975075
I've wasted money on a lot of things but the kancolle game will never be one of them
>>
>>45974997
Oh.
Well, I'm starting on Easy, as it's literally my first time playing the game.
>>45975041
Literally who?
>>
>>45975103
Most of the bad ones are.
>>
>>45974891
it's odd. I'd almost compare it to Kancolle but with actual gameplay.

Basically, for multiplayer you create an admiral who starts off with a fleet of three light cruisers, unlocking more ship slots as you level.

As ships fight in matches, they earn experience which levels their crews and you can fit them with various upgrades.

If a ship is destroyed, the ship is stuck in port for several battles while you repair and the crew doesn't earn exp for a few battles after

If a ship escapes, it has a chance to be lost in the warp for a few battles until it can return.

It's weird, and I kind of get what they're going for but it takes some serious adjustment.

Good luck, and godspeed then
Play the browser version. It's marginally better in some departments, but worse in others. Still passable, though
>>
>>45975202
But you know what? Some people want to have the browser game on their handheld.
>>
>>45975106
thin your paints! is a /tg/ standard reply to any painted object posted in a thread, regardless of context
although it especially applies to BADLY painted objects, where paint has been applied like stucco
it's often accompanied by a picture of a melting-faced googly eyed wargame miniature, or in extreme cases a space marine knitted from wool
>>
>>45975202
They didn't even bother animating shells being shot, etc.
>>
>>45973496
>[ ] BB-4 is a traitor. A betrayer of the most sacred creeds of her country. She is a coward, laying traps and chasing after weaker targets. It's a wickedness that no loyal soldier can stand the thought of. Did she think Hamp's appearance was a coincidence? A one-off? This is her last chance to fuck off, lest she wake something she'd much rather stayed asleep.

>Chuuniboat fighting the resurrected abyssal corpse of her sister when?


Seeing friends snatched and darkly possessed
The tar inside stealing the body and breath
Till only a shell is left
Witness to Hell in the flesh


>>45974548
>Chuuniboat taking care of her insane sister in the brig
>"CAN'T YOU HEAR HER CALLING, SISTER?"
>"Come on, finish your dinner. Open wide."

So close it's a voice I'm hearing
Overwhelms me, Can't stop bleeding
Show me
Show me
Show me in the fog
How many times you gotta kill your friends?
How do you feel you gotta shoot their head?
>>
>>45974509
In fairness though, the other option seemed like we were going to order our planes to kamikazie into her.

That's not good.
>>
So what will the "calling Iowa" a traitor option cause another ship girl to pop up? Like Prince of Wales or something like that.
>>
>>45975407
Well, we were going to threaten it. In a "Do you really want to turn us into a cornered fucking animal, bitch?" way
>>
>>45975201
No, really, a lot of bad anime are typically of the Harem Genre.
>>
>>45975241
Relevant images are posted in... the thread archived as 'Sic Em, Boys'.

How does one apply stucco?
>>
>>45975440
>Prince of Wales shows up
>A few days later a haggard looking British admiral arrives and takes her away.
>>
>>45975407
>>45975442
So kamikazefag was going to get his way in the end?
Holy shit.
>>
>>45975440
>So what will the "calling Iowa" a traitor option cause another ship girl to pop up? Like Prince of Wales or something like that.
It will either be
>nothing and you screwed up
or

>Time to come back to THE EMERALD ISLES, PoW.
>BUGGER THAT BUNCH OF BOLLOCKS. I like it here. At least the weather's not always dreary and soaked.
>>
>>45975475
Given that we voted overwhelmingly for the other option, I don't think he did. This as you can imagine, is a very good thing.
>>
>>45975440
I'm guessing it's an invitation for her and planefag to show us exactly how big of jerks the human race is.
>>
>>45974939
The idea of surrendering might not even be in her vocabulary. Maybe it's a personality issue.


I can't say the same for the Armored Cruisers.

Maybe it's because they're newer or not but there's personality there. They squared off and dueled with some frigates then called it a day before giving a honor salute and retreating?

I can see them surrendering or switching sides one day.
>>
>>45975475
Can't planes dump tanks.

Flyover. Pee on Iowa. Oh God it burns. Mission Accomplished.
>>
>>45975545
Yeah, never ask the enemy to provide you with a reason to justify themselves. Because the abyssals ain't just fighting humanity for kicks and giggles.
>>
>>45975500
>But PoW, your sisters are waiting for you.
>Would you really want to make Howe cry?
>>
>>45975515
The option that Planefag has implied was a bad choice?
>>
>>45975487
We are threatening her with summoning other ship, so we may not actually get any ship, normal or Abyssal, popping up.

My guess is, because this doesn't sound like it will end well, no ships pop up and Iowa keeps chasing our forces. Then one of the FFGs does a suicide run into Iowa without our orders.
>>
>>45975596
He didn't imply that. He just said we were gonna shit ourselves, which can come about from a very wide range of emotional outcomes
>>
>>45975596
He implies every option is a bad choice
Usually because it is
>>
>>45975622
>>45975596
Basically planefag is gonna feed us a tonload of chimichanga for the next update.
>>
>>45975596
Hey, the way he made it sound it seems to be more of the crazy choice.

It remains to be seen if that means good or bad.
>>
>>45975596
He implied it would be an *interesting* choice.
>>
. . . shit. Just found out while looking up BB-4. At the end of her life she had her name struck and was rigged for REMOTE CONTROL as target practice. What are the odds the BB-4 hull we've been fighting is literally just an empty remote-controlled shell?
>>
>>45975596

He implied talking to Arizona was the good option but all that did was get her further pissed at us.

Planefag is a liar. You should know this.
>>
>>45975596
There are no good choices ever
Except wildly firing your pistol into the air while screaming
>>
>>45975639
I have never seen PF give us a real bad choice. Ever. Even when we deserve it.
