OOC: CVN, let's refrain from sweeping statements like "destroying most", "wiping out" or "easily taken down". Surely your forces would have taken a lot of losses too considering what we've brought into the mix. Though it's acceptable that ours are heavier, it's not lopsided by any stretch of the imagination.

IC:

Diable and Vautour fighters engage in intense dogfights with Adlers. Using their maneuverability, they keep the score decent against the laser-armed PANZER aircraft. Some Diables catch the Hortens finishing their bombing runs, shooting down several before they're able to egress the battle area.

Cobras, their way cleared by Durandals blasting the Adler formations, push the attack on the Blitz frigates and Uberfalls. Despite crippling losses, they hit their targets with aerial mines, sending them crashing into the sea. The Durandals then attack the PANZER ground forces with 127mm laser-guided AP rounds, decimating the Leopards (by firing into the vulnerable turret roof armor) and the lighter-skinned Pumas, and some launching cluster bombs at exposed troops.
