Let's talk about Tasha's game.
>>
Do you think she's into crawling around on all fours like a dog?
>>
I can't talk about it because I don't want spoilers and I'm not done. I just have to say that I think it's funny that Theve is literally just Toronto. I guess people have known that for a while but I've avoided watching many of the trailers or content.

I hope Tasha isn't evil like every other Yuktobanian that never did anything wrong though.

Fuck. What are some good tips in getting high score in these missions? I feel like maybe I should've ran an attacker plane equipped with bombs, but what are good tips for these mission types in general? I sometimes see people get insane scores.

later in the campaign it becomes less restrictive but early on you're restricted to carrier stuff for a bit

You probably didn't touch one of the camps. Basically prioritize orange and red marker on the radar, white and grey is just chaff you can ignore for the most part

You're not supposed to S Rank on first try, wait until you get more planes and parts to properly optimize each mission.

Not expecting S-rank (even though I managed to S-rank the previous two missions) but I expectedlike a C at least. D felt really bad.

I'm shit at planes. I do alright in GRB with stuff like the Yak series. Then again I recently started using the advanced control layout instead of simplified so maybe I'll get better. I just hate how ARB has no respawn.

That's just a practice thing. Biggest pieces of advice I can give you are to never engage in a fair fight if you can help it, maintain your speed as well as possible, don't over commit, and avoid the opening merge if at all possible.

The progression path (mostly thru middle) doesn't match the mission path so you'll be unlocking non-carrier planes before carrier-only missions, then carrier planes before anything goes missions

"SOTOANS could be here" Rex thought, "I've never been in this airspace before. There could be SOTOANS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his plane's canopy. "I HATE SOTOANS" he thought. Purple Magic reverberated his entire jet, making it pulsate even as the $9 caviar circulated through his powerful empty veins and washed away his (merited) fear of Shadows after dark. "With a plane, you can go anywhere you want" Cope said to him, in his head.

>>748900439
Honestly, they've got such a good thing going. People love the franchise. The gameplay is so solved, they just need to throw together the most mediocre story possible about how insanely overpowered the player is and a few cool superweapons, and bam, well selling game. There is virtually no other competition in the zone either. They had a single miss in AH and even that people still mostly liked it just 'wasn't a good *ace combat* game', but it even reviewed okay, and at this point they almost certainly know better. They could never upgrade the graphics or engine again and just release expansions and people would still love it.

how did they drop the ball on the final missions/final "boss" so hard, bros? obviously the devs feel they did a good job with the final mission of AC7's DLC because it's clearly more than just a homage to it, but it honestly is worse in every way. and even if you didn't play the previous game, it still feels very underwhelming.

>I think it's funny that Theve is literally just Toronto
It's supposed to be New York City, but so many movies just film in Toronto now that I don't blame team Aces for getting it wrong. USEA is the first continent created in the ace combat games before AC4 introduced the concept of a unified world, and it's actually an acronym for US, Europe, and Asia. AC5 later introduced OSEA as the new stand in for America, so oddly enough there are two pseudo Americas.
>>
>>748900061
If you mean the desert annihilation map, there's 4 camps. Bombers work well, or craft equipped with bombs. I think you get bonuses for chain explosions, so blowing up one fuel line which pops all stuff in the surrounding area boosts the values.

I will admit, I did like Tasha's character arc as a pacifist to a soldier, though. And ngl, when I saw this headline before release, I thought there'd be an actual romance or something with Tasha. They literally tried to make a perfect waifu, but she ends up pretty platonic with everyone, including you, not a hint of romance anywhere with this "ultimate waifu"

>>748901246
I kind of get the impression that Rex is a mid-thirties something like Kate and Cope, so it makes sense that PA didn't go in that direction for Tasha. Kate is the closest thing that we can call a winner since both her and Rex seeminly got shuffled into a new Squad called King, which was probably one of the squads they lost early on, and Rex possibly just being Kate's navigator.

AC7 followed up Assault Horizon, so it had no build up of new fans considering AH tanked the franchise. AC8 followed up a popular entry level game, so its got a boost. Also AC8 definitely had more marketing and people like Skill Up doing videos for it.

how do you rate Rex' level as a pilot compared to other protags when its all said and done? He had a squad help which makes him lose points compared to Mobius, but honestly so many missions in this game are basically "go singlehandedly complete this mission, our entire fate depends on it"

i mean the megafloat was supposed to be basically invincible and you sink it. You singlehandedly beat a shadow squadron of like 12. Nobody is really doubtful or dooming when you go out to fight 1,000 enemy bogeys with 2 other people. Plenty of missions are direct sequels to previous ones where you get basically no rest time.

It's restricted based on story, early game forces you to launch from the carrier a lot.
I would make a beeline for the F-14D and F/A-18E/F. Then by the time you have the Super Hornet unlocked, the game becomes freer and a lot less restrictive so it shouldn't matter.

i didn't understand the plot with cope, in the prologue he says he's just like an 'okay' pilot, but it's all propaganda to inspire morale. he always runs away instead of fights. turns out he was really good, probably just a bit below shadow 22's level and everyone says he was a great, skilled, one of a kind pilot from firsthand experience. feels contradictory

Its just a weird number, assuming shadows are ranked based on number (a guy talks about how he'll be demoted to triple digits from two after failing) that means you never fight anyone in the top 5 or even top 10. Did they just stop handing out ranks at moon 11?

Part of the problem is that there's a lot of triple digit shadows and they mostly end up being jobbers. Even the higher double digit shadows aren't much of a threat, only 22's squadron actually lived up to the name.
Meanwhile there's only one Yellow Squadron or only one Sol Squadron and they mostly kick your shit in until the final battle.

Its not-neucom, who's trying to make the war go on as long as possible so osea and yuktobania get involved in the war so they can be in charge of rebuilding efforts, essentially geting rid of borders on the continent and making them lots of money. 99% of the reason satoa attacked in the first place was due to them hyping them up and giving them shit
at the end of the game the company is dissolved, because its decentralized no one can be charged, and all of their assets go to general resource

Great game so far.
I will now fuck off because you cunts spoil everything.
It's just that yeah Kate is better. I liked Kate a bit more pre-release but after I found out that Tasha is literally not even shooting people down (unless her BF is in trouble because of course) and act like a literal clown then yeah no she doesn't get to be AC8's best girl. At least Nagase or Rena were shooting people down..

It means that the middle branch of the aircraft tree, which is mostly European planes, doesn't have many options in for carrier planes in the early nodes, probably because european navies were an absolute joke for the last 60 years while America was wiping their ass. It takes a while to unlock the French Rafale, which is one of the few euro planes capable of catobar assisted launch off carriers, namely Frances sole carrier, the Charles de Gaulle. By the time you unlock the Rafale, the carrier restriction won't be as common, so you're probably best off just rushing for an F-18 upgrage.

It's just because there's too many Shadows. When you've been downing Shadow 150 and 99 and 70 and 100 etc etc, 22 doesn't feel like as big a threat even if he's a fucking flare-spamming sociopath
Yellow 13's squad is much smaller, you fight them specifically more, and you learn more about them between missions.
Moon 11 has aura though.

Mihaly IS lame. And Idk, it just didn't really resonate with me. The wingmen are all forgettable, and the story all feels like it's happening off screen, the missions are kind of boring, and the arcbirds aren't a very cool superweapon, they are like a miniboss at best.

Mihaly was pretty boring for me and all his battles were too scripted, also too many drones bosses instead of giving us Aces.

People who aren't good complained about the gimmick missions, third best OST in the series with Torres who should have been the real rival to Trigger. The penal unit should have been the main cast.

>>748904960
I should say, I think it's fine. I just didn't love it. I'm liking 8 more so far just because the wingmen are more immediately characterized.

For me, it runs 70-80 fps occasionally dipping into the high 50s on medium settings without upscaling. It's a bit better than expected considering it's an UE5 game, but the amount of RAM it uses is insane. I had to increase my swap size or else the game would crash when it tried to load a mission.

>>748907059
If you preordered on Steam, it's a launch option. If you got a steam code and activated it before the official release, then that should count too. AC0 is treated as a DLC and shouldn't be a separate purchase.

>>748906732
>wwwaaaaahhhhhh, I keep getting carried
People keep saying the multiplayer is bad, but this is the only complaint I've seen. Why can't you just suck it up until you get upgrades and can compete? You should be getting plenty of currency to do so since the super planes are carrying so hard. It won't be long before you outscale them since their upgrades are much more grindy. You could also just git gud.

To be fair, the ruskies and the chinese copied America's homework as close as they could, hence why the Su-57 looks like an F22 at a glance. Stealth is a very tricky thing to get right, and a proven design saves billions in R&D.

It helps for one specific boss fight but it's not necessary. I was able to beat that fight with an F/A-18E.

I had more trouble on that particular mission with the MiG-31 than not
I ended up using Mirage, speed is important but damage output is more useful, especially since one of the MiG-31 spw options is a trap for that mission
I went for the Gripen and ended up being able to pick between the F-35C and the Su-57, very convenient

Probably new players. The MPBM is the same as UGB but looks devastating when you witness it destroy a bunch of grouped targets. Thankfully they removed SPW levels. Each level cap unlocks a new ability which buffs the plane in its place.

Nah, the game stressing a 4090 in cutscenes doesn't mean much, since the game is stupidly demanding in cutscenes with all the forced raytracing and high poly models. You can get the game running flawlessly on weaker spec hardware during gameplay with optimized settings and it'll drop to like 40fps during cutscenes.

This anon does.

It's about consistent improvement, momentum and word of mouth. 7 was out for a long time, cheap and good. That resulted in being picked up and played on a whim by the innovators part of the adoption curve. Since it's a good game, all those people became potential 8 buyers. But most people will wait ona new entry to hop into a series.
That's where word of mouth comes in. The steam friends list is the single best ad space possibly in the entire world, and you can't even buy a placement there. Any time there's multiple people playing the same thing, or somebody randomly is playing something that's not in their usual rotation over multiple days, you can't help but wonder "what's the deal"
AC is still in the "early adopters" phase. I've had multiple people message me unprompted about my opinion on the game. 9 will be even bigger

This is exactly how witcher and bg3 blew up. All you need to become a gamer household name game developer is consistent improvement over three titles.

It is a SAVAGELY bad year for a lot of other companies with huge bombs everywhere. Just a AAA game, that isn't obviously a complete fuckup

Sonys lineup is like Saaros and 3 titanic bombs.

Ubisoft has done nearly jack in the past 3 years, their best is a shodddy remake.

MS has gears of failure, and I can't even remember what else they made to shit on it.

N's probably best game this year is a straight remake.

If Joker squadron is a family, Rex is the dad, Baxter's the mom, she's the baby of the family, and Coster's the onii-chan who jacks off to her panties when no one's looking while listening to Purple Magic.

No wonder why you idiots never stfu about her

are there any config ini tricks to increase the cockpit FOV?

Cute girls in videogames!

>/mu/fags calling this game's music shit
When I hear this I remember ICP winning a /mu/ poll and laughing my ass off at anyone on 4chan calling the music in something shit.

man, coming from nuclear option to this and its crazy how I forgot that ace combat has a super fucking weird flight system

Anon she's half-Russian half-Canadian.

You have pitch, roll, yaw, and throttle. What's weird about that?

Oh you too? Yeah I've been practicing for the new jet hercules transport shockwave showed in their dev streams and went from that to this and forgot like most of the "Park in the sky and do 360 spins on an axis to shoot at every enemy" trick.

18E, F, or grippen?

Actually wonder how big of a success 7 and 8 would be without it. It seems the default for people.
>>
>>748917356
the jets are more like a perfect on-rail forward movement instead of actual flying physics where they need to take just a bit more of a moment before going on their nose heading. Ace Combat 3 was kinda more like that, if I remember
>>

NO isn't a full simulator, but it's much closer in that you can overstress your plane, you can overstress your pilot, it has spins, loss of control, if a missile misses, it can still go off from proximity and damage your flight model, it's a different beast and you have to approach flying a different way. Not to mention that planes don't really have much in terms of momentum or mass in AC and that's what lets the post-stall maneuvering thing instantly stop a plane from subsonic flight while you can slip a plane into an uncontrollable spin doing that in NO.
>>
what even is the point of yaw anyway? Just to keep the nose from dipping in a turn?
>>
>>748917586
Can be helpful lining up a shot for the guns
>>
>>748917586
Navigating tunnels, precision with guns/bombs, tighter turns.
>>
>>748917586
IRL or in-game? In game it's mostly to line up your gunshots.

Sailors are perverts. I remember hearing how guys would just sneak into the female berthings and climb into their girl's rack and just fuck the shit out of her in the metal coffin and then just sneak out. Can't even imagine how fucking uncomfortable it must be to fuck in a rack, there's barely even room for one person in those things, let alone enough room to fuck comfortably.

>>748917654
that's kinda hot even though both of them must be sore the next day
could you tell who did it by who was limping?
>>
>>748917638
in game.
Like should i use it to balance out the nose? or should I lean into it to get sharper turns?
>>
>Claimed

Damn you guys are slow, better luck next time
>>
>>748917806
Nah, but you can tell people have been fucking in a vent room if there's a chair in there.
>>
>>748917894
Yaw is useful in any situation you can imagine it being useful. You can use it to lean into or away from any maneuver you make to alter your course in a desired way.

Didsomeone post a code? I wasn't paying attention
