[Hello Purvis]

>Let them come, if we feel confident we can deal with the missiles one way or another. 
>Try to move so that in order to have a good shot, they'd be herded into a narrow space where they'd be in each other's way.

>Try to move so that in order to have a good shot, they'd be herded into a narrow space where they'd be in each other's way.

>They now dash at you in a row! Still, they're not using the missiles... At least, they're saving you the issue of lining up.

[Hello Purvis]

>Once they get in range, fire. Then when they get close enough to use their other weapons, move! If they try using lots of missiles, move and try to shoot them down via vulcans.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Once they get in range, fire. Then when they get close enough to use their other weapons, move! If they try using lots of missiles, move and try to shoot them down via vulcans.

>The range is proper. You fire your railgun!
>"Hey, isn't that Railgun good at pe-"
>Sunny's radio is cut off as the shot pierces through all 4 Gespenst, leaving Sunny on a critical position! The rest of them keep approaching you, still on a long range.

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep firing until we feel uncomfortable or one of the former getting out of there criteria is met.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Keep firing until we feel uncomfortable or one of the former getting out of there criteria is met.

>You fire a second shot, but the trio is clever enough to break up and dodge it. They still remain close to each other, two of them drawing their beam swords.

[Hello Purvis]

>Withdraw to our next position. Continue to fire on them.
>Trio? Where's the fourth?

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Withdraw to our next position. Continue to fire on them.
>Trio? Where's the fourth?

>You don't have an actual next position, but you strafe as best as you can, taking potshots at them. They do small movements to dodge, but keep within their formations.
>Sunny's Gespenst is trailing behind... her thrusters must be damaged.

[Hanzo K.]

This might be a bit sneaky, but it's also practical.
>Well then, surprise them by charging right through(Hotblooded shout optional), then wheel back around and give 'em the works. Railgun, Vulcans, even the Beam Saber!

[Hello Purvis]

>Don't do this, you don't get to be hotblooded in a Lion. You have to be a dick, instead.
>Instead, scout out such a position while keeping our distance. Particularly one that would force the Gespies to go through bad terrain. Take the occasional shot at them, but don't do it blindly. Wait for them to be in a position where they can't dodge easily.

>There is no bad terrain on this stage. I guess they thought you'd be picking something that can actually walk.
>Due to this there isn't a bad position to dodge either, as they all have enough space.

[Hello Purvis]

>Are there any large bodies of water? Head for that if so, and just take potshots when we feel they're unlikely to be at be able to get around it easily.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Are there any large bodies of water? Head for that if so, and just take potshots when we feel they're unlikely to be at be able to get around it easily.

>The plains are very basic... the only thing you could call an "obstacle" is some loose gravel and on mech size that means pretty much nothing.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well then, let's just keep peppering them with Railgun fire until we run out of ammo.
>But make sure to make every shot count, line up each shot to our best ability before firing.

>But make sure to make every shot count, line up each shot to our best ability before firing.

>The Gespensts get out of the way at this distance, you can't get a clear shot!

[Hello Purvis]

>Slow down a bit and observe what they are doing.
>What is our flight ceiling?

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Slow down a bit and observe what they are doing.
>What is our flight ceiling?

>They're trying to approach you. Since you've been keeping your distance all the time, they seem to have a hard time with it.
>Around... say, a whole different tier of the atmosphere? If you had 50% more of the thrust you have now, you'd be able to reach escape velocity before exhausting your fuel.

[Hello Purvis]

>We have missiles, right? Let them get well within missile range, and launch a few.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>We have missiles, right? Let them get well within missile range, and launch a few.

>You do not have missiles! Your unit was selected with the most basic payload.

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's try this a different way. Rather than attacking from the distance horizontally, let's go up.
>Take to the sky, fly above them outside of their effective range, then close in on them and fire on them from a comfortable distance.

>Take to the sky, fly above them outside of their effective range, then close in on them and fire on them from a comfortable distance.

>You go as high as you can, grazing the clouds! Then you proceed to do short but far divebombs, catching the others by surprise!

[Hello Purvis]

>Does the strategy work?

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Does the strategy work?

>You manage to get some shots in critical places, while their desperate attempts to machinegun you fail horribly.

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep it up, then, until they figure out how to dodge something above them.
>If any are particularly hurt, try to take 'em out.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Keep it up, then, until they figure out how to dodge something above them.
>If any are particularly hurt, try to take 'em out.

>You manage to notice that they're weakened, but start doing successful dodgerolls.

[Hello Purvis]

>Decend on them, keep the covering fire up if we don't feel ammo is getting scarce. If possible, see if we can get them to dodge-roll into each other. Pick off the weak.
>When they are about to counterattack, pick a direction that feels most fortuitous to dodge in, and escape that way.

>When they are about to counterattack, pick a direction that feels most fortuitous to dodge in, and escape that way.

>You hold them together with your shots, still getting some non-critical but sure hits!
>They still try to use their machineguns but your angle is too uncomfortable for them to even get near you.

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep up the music, then, until they start to break up. If the group as a whole tries to move, move with it. Continue to focus on the weakest, but don't overlook a good shot on anyone in a bad position. If we can, also try to make leading shots, forcing someone to move in a certain direction and adjust to hit them while they're moving.

>You drive the three to their limit, putting them against each other's backs! This is pretty much the most favorable situation.

[Hello Purvis]

>Let 'em have it.
