It was in the thread though. You haven't actually told me the nature of Mana Incarnate. :P

for an order that still fights with swords and wears armor, these jets look mighty futuristic. I see no flying horses, no windmills, nothing

Heh, The Order's weapons and armor are actually pretty advanced weaponry. All made of the same Demon plating as the jets.

If those guys can actually power these things for more than 30 seconds without being huge as clunky, they should rule the world by now by the pure technological advantage alone

also ARGH, this is why we got a distraction guys. Like this we take the brunt of their force

also, don't fight them on a boat, that's a huge target moving in a predictable way. This is why I opted to attack them in the air, instead of from the ground, attacking a human sized target mid-air is hella difficult (possibly roll penalties?))

Spoiler: Sanure has requested that I provide Deus ex Spooky. However, I still barely even have stats for spooky. I believe her Dex is 30, her Con is 20, and her attack and damage values are horrific. That's about it. :P

I may provide deux ex Brazilian ground-based AA instead. :P

Also, Spooky is not really suitable for taking on fighters. She's a gunship, after all.

As they should.
No, I mean the "this makes no sense" kind.

And here I thought that was just a bit of flavor stuff. Especially since Sanure didn't want to RP their interactions. Or define them very much.

also, don't fight them on a boat, that's a huge target moving in a predictable way. This is why I opted to attack them in the air, instead of from the ground, attacking a human sized target mid-air is hella difficult (possibly roll penalties?))
Negated by the guns being pretty good at hitting small, fast-moving targets, and also by there being ten fighters to a unit.

((5 bombers and ICARUS, Kyle...those are the guaranteed fliers. Then we have Winries technomancy which, if used more aggressively might also take out a bomber, then we may or may not have Stella because abscence, and we may or may not have HILDA, Alucard on the Karakil, Bartimaeus and Ashley. Looks doable, as long as you do something realistic, and not "well, 30 fighters attack you all at the same time, you are teh ded", and they actually stop firing according to my plan of using their own bombers as shields))
1. A large number of fighters firing at you would be realistic, since they have a hundred and change. So would death caused by a large number of fighters shooting at you.
2. You forgot Nuriel.

this is an air battle, people need to actually position themselves to fire at a flying unit, that btw is not even 1/20th of their size, and a whole lot more agile than a huge lumbering jet. they need to watch out not to hit eachother with the guns, and not to bump into eachother either, and most importantly need to actually keep an overview over what is actually happening. their numbers are their disadvantage, as it supremely helps actually using their allies as cover.


edit: oh and damnit, no ICARUS unit in south amerika...

Pretty much all of those are things that modern fighter can do, given that they attack not only other fighters but are also capable of point-defense. And if they're flying close enough that colliding with each other is a serious issue...well...the sky isn't as big as space, but it's still pretty empty, and it's not unheard of for air battles to be conducted far enough apart that neither can see the other with their actual eyes. And these guys have magitek ariatek.
And no, their numbers are not a disadvantage just because we can use them as cover and they need to not hit each other. This isn't Discworld, and we don't even look anything like planes. The ones we are using as cover can shoot us, as can the ones on the other side because this is air. Hitting each other isn't an issue unless you have a traitor. Etc etc.

My only thing to say:

Isn't Nuriel a Demon?


EDIT: Also, These fighter jets are more like VTOLs As in, they can be stationary in the air, and still outmaneuver most things.
