Advanced indirect fire deflection tactics, they've trained for this don't worry

This is actually a thing - AV (and several other loitering munition manufacturers) experimented with what they were calling "daycare mode" (no, really. Fuck I hate them), where ground formations could fire a bunch of (ex: switchblades) off, then control would be taken over by CAS for transit my-ship-is-dragging-mines-style out of range of the base station to the target area for terminal control. It worked pretty well, might even be deployed now, but it was a surprisingly hard sell for the A-10 pilots whose job was to fly low & slow through an area picking up digital tethers while a bunch of jarheads aimlessly fired missiles into their flight path.

It's incredible really, it is so stealthy there's not a single record of it taking out an enemy target.

Who gets the kill? The player who threw the ball, or the last player to touch it?

I'm sure lots of people were surprised.

Yeah, but the A-10 is usually the blue, not the blue!
