Strafe the enemy plane!

[Lenglon]

The plane is the biggest problem, the other allied plane can get itself out of the riflemen's range on its own, but the one with the damaged engine won't be able to handle pursuit.

Target the plane

[Avis-Mergulus]

Alright, thanks. I'll go update now.

Besides, the other plane is throwing bombs at an altitude of 10 meter, so they'll either kill the gunmen or blow themselves out of the sky.

Somebody noticed. Grrrreat. This is gonna be fun...

[Avis-Mergulus]

So, same game as before. Two dudes in a plane are being chased by, you guessed it, another plane. The dude who requires an action is called Malachi Kelly, and he's the dude responsible for throwing bombs. The enemy plane is slightly faster than the one the players are flying. It is at a moderate distance from them - they are in its range. The enemy gunner has a heavy rifle. Kelly has several bombs and his service revolver. His pilot's action is something like "Fly away as fast as I can". Ideas?

Light a bomb. Throw it at the enemy. Try not to throw it in own plane.

Throw three bombs, one to intercept the incoming fire, one to blow up the opposing plane, and the third to propel the others to the necessary velocities...

This would involve so many rolls. So many bad, bad rolls.
Also, all the options that involve throwing bombs (which are a actually tailfin and impact detonator kind of bomb, not the round fizzy kind) are an autofail on initiative because the heavy rifle has way longer range.
But thanks, guys, if nobody has any other suggestions, I'll go update.

Bad as in "a pain for the GM," bad as in "penalties," or bad as in "secretly awesome"?

[10ebbor10]

Bad as in likely fatal.

Enemy plane is faster - are we more maneuverable by chance? Try to get pilot to circle around and eventually get behind the other plane. Gunner should take cover as much as he can, but keeping his pistol out to take a potshot at the enemy pilot if he can.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Guise, I really appreciate the input - no kidding - but I already updated it, because I was bored like a shack made of rectangular pieces of wood. But thanks nonetheless.

Obviously, which is why you use the bombs as propellant for other bombs, to increase the range. How are we supposed to beat a rifle by throwing things at a swift object without resorting to stupid-crazy?
