>>223594215>strangerealStupid fucking name. If anything they should call the setting Wunderwaffles for all the concept napkin designs that make it into the game.

Top Gun Maverick is about as close as you'll get.
>>223594215We just got one, buddy. It was Ace Combat 8. Normally I would consider "movie game" a criticism but it worked for me. That was probably my favorite since Zero. It might be my favorite.
Air to air combat doesn't work in movie format, you have to narrate everything. "omg he's on my six Maverick!" was the worst part of both Top Guns. Stuff like Midway (2019, not the shitty boomer original) which has bombing runs can be full-on kino though
The strangereal games have awful writing but there was plenty to like about them until 7. 8 seems a lot like 7 so I'm assuming it sucks but I haven't played it yet.
>modern dogfighting is just trying to align you plane in the general direction of the enemy so your missile locks on and hoping that your flares distract enemy missiles that have locked onto you while you totally avoid areas with enemy SAMs because there is nothing you can do to avoid the amount of missiles a SAM site can put up>also your role in combat arms has been made obsolete by missiles and dronesModern combat is the most boring and unheroic shit imaginable but aerial combat is the absolute the most soulless and boring aspect of it. There's a reason why popular scifi or fantasy media that has fighter craft exclude missiles and make every dogfight a recreation of WW2 machine gun duels.
