You guys actually believe Slavs look like THIS?
Tasha is a miracle of the universe and the perfect wife.
>>750246382>>750246460literally the perfect woman.
>>750246382In Strangereal, your race is randomly rolled on birth with no relation to your parents or birth place. Every country has the same demographics.
>>750246382>>750246460Please just date a real woman.
>>750246382Her boyfriend on the left
>>750246382I do
>>750246382Why'd she bring he dad along? wtf...
>>750246382No, just like I don't believe those who evolved in temperate zones look like that thing on the left.
>>750246382I can't believe she married that nigger on the left end game
>>750247694>>750247896>>750247967Wait seriously? Dropped
>>750248018he dies retard
>>750248018You're pathetic and a retard, it's a video game, not a real person.
>>750248018Not really, she probably sticks with Coster, but i guess we'll find out in the future.
>>750246605>>750247946It is kinda funny how there's exactly one named black dude per country.>>750248018He's the team dad.She's closer with the autstic /mu/tant.
>>750246382I thought she was a hapa?
>>750249067Both her parents are Yuktobanian(Russian) but her dad looks Siberian.
I'd have shat myself if I was Topkek after hearing Wings came back, is now actually fighting when he didn't before and splashed a bunch of Shadows single handed. What happened from his POV is a textbook revanant and I'm surprised they didn't lean into that more.
>>750249571'Cause if they leaned into it anymore than they have, they'd just be the Razgriz lol
>>750248018yup
>>750249571Topkek doesn't really seem to give too much of a shit about anything besides doing Cobras in his evil dude plane™, he just says gg well played before dying.
>topkek shoots that guys parachute just for the lulz>y-you cant do that!!! its a war crime!!!lol
were they trying to simulate the neural link bridge in the X-40 or something? because the handling of the plane is complete garbage, the plane moves just fine but it feels like i'm flying with 1000 ping.
>>750249676that's the one thing I can respect about him, he sticks to his beliefs/character all the way to the end
>>750246807why would anyone do that?
>>750249571Topkek was too busy larping as a nomad like his crippled superior
heard that ac0 is on steam now but i can't find it?
>>750246807I was married once, you know. To a psycho, that I then divorced. "Real women" are rarely worth anything beyond a fling. Are some marriage material? Sure, but we're talking like 1%. Other than that it's pump-and-dump city. Heck, I respect jerking off more than hounding for roasts.
>>750249676He's really just "evil dude on a plane" and the game doesn't really punish him for it.>commits warcrimes then calls it a part of his culture>kills his own countrymen for failing him>imps for a paraplegic whose greatest achievement is losing a dogfight to some psycho Yuke bitch>criticizes you for flying like a retard>dies happy and without regrets>goes to his religion's version of heaven because apparently it's fucking real and all downed pilots go there
>>750250002>Kills his own countrymenWhen does he do this?
>>750249971It's still pre-order only, they just split the install from AC8 into its own entry and added achievements
>>750250002>>kills his own countrymen for failing himEverything's correct, but not this, this never happened.
>>750250097Can't look for it rn but iirc he shoots down the guy Cope outmaneuvers into hitting the bridge in the intro, might be wrong tho.
>>750250097>>750250178in the prologue, when Cope baits the other Shadow into crashing into the bridge Toprak shoots himhttps://youtu.be/A_0WBpEYPNY?si=LagwqttCZg7N4uJH&t=756
>>750250247Thank you
>>750249676He's not some retarded trying to be deep 4u and failing on it like mihaly. I think Ace Combat is at its best with cartoon-tier baddies like him>inb4 something about wat izz borders is a good argumentexist to define 70k years of a subsect ethnicity, cultures, beliefs and way of life which define their home/house, next
>>750249841based.....
>>750250247I played enough Warthunder to know that wasn't intentional
>>750250247Huh, you're right. That's weird, feels out of character for him, he never did this again.
>>750250375the other guy was in the way of his sick move, totally understandable
>perfect character design>give her dyed hairfucking why?
>>750250414To piss off chudlets like you
>>750250375>feels out of character for him*shoots your chute*
>>750250153that sucks
are people really this bad with guns
>>750250486:O
>>750250606Seeing that people have been complaining about Shadow 22 so much that PA had to nerf him, when guns trivialize his fights- yes.
>>750246538>perfect woman>won't kill anymore
>>750250606if you kill 1-2 targets with the gun in multiplayer you're getting the "most targets downed with a machine gun" medal 99.9% of the time
>>750250375>he never did this again.Because everyone else who fails him dies inmediately anyway
>>750250606i think they get overwhelmed and forget they even exist
>>750250671she gets into it eventually
>>750250802Anon, your reading comprehension reps...
>>750250853her mom is a glowie, she'll be one too
So Trigger knocked up both of Mihaly's granddaughters to create the ultimate Ace generation who will be important characters in AC9 right?
Kate > Tasha
>>750250002the early ticket to the promised land is 100% real though
>>750250986Trigger is canonically banging Avril and drag racing Starfighters in the desert after 7.
>>750251234Just because he's also banging Junk Queen doesn't mean I'm wrong or incorrect. He's Trigger remember
How did nobody noticed Cpe was a Sotoan? Imagine if your british propaganda pilot made a Nazi salute before getting inside a Spitfire and never shot his guns.
>>750251975Most people'sknowledge of Sotoa starts and ends with>Nomadic people from a desertic country that lost a war against YuktobaniaNobody really knew Sotoans had a different handshake than the rest of the world.
>>750251234I always laugh at the fact Trigger painted Sin Lines into his fucking car.
>>750252190It's to remember his best friend and wingman Chad Kroeger
I watched Biboo play this and cry during the credits. The fuck? I thought this game was just about blowing shit up in airplanes.
>>750251234
>>750251234Three Strikes = Three wives
>>750252312It is, that's why she started crying. It's simply peak.
Tasha board.
>>750252280I remember Champ over literally everyone from the LRSS, i even remember McOnie from the Stonehenge, even on replays i still don't get how they made anyone that wasn't from the original penal squad so lame in 7.
>>750250002>losing a dogfight to some psycho Yuke bitchIt was a draw actually, they shot down eachother at the same time and both ended up crippled for life
>>750250414She is actually a clowngirl (circus flyer).
Why didn't Sotoa just send up more ammo for the Tonitrus satellites before commencing hostilities if them being able to arm it would get them basically global domination and force nuetral nations into being hostile to the FCU?Surely they could've just waited like 5 years, sent more ammo and then just declared themselves kings of the planet
>>750253781Ray's head should always be conveniently obscured desu.
>>750246382Sure the dark tall man to the left is a typical Slav, don't know which country the girl is from nor why she's on an aircraft carrier and not with her family.
>>750253907I doubt they were openly putting WMD's into orbit. Other nations would've intervened.
>>750253975the girl's dad is actually on the carrier.
>>750254043then why not just continue doing it secretly until they had sufficinent ammo? The cutscene showed enough satellites to saturate the globe, they just didn't have enough spears hence the mission where we shot it into debris and then shot the debris and also the space elevator mission
>>750246382She's adopted by the player and Kate in the end
Can I do the final few missions in the Berkut or Rafale, or am I gonna have to bite the bullet and get the F-35?
>>750255273If you mean the aircraft carrier plane limitation, the missions 26 is last one with that restriction, every mission after that can be done with any plane.
>>750255376I more mean spec wise, will the later ones simply too much numerically for those planes to cope with?
>>750255510They should be fine in that regard. F-35 have only a few more missiles more.
>>750255691And there shouldn't be any issues with them jinking the missiles because my homing stat is too low? cheers, that'll let me save up for the super planes
>>750249646>Nooooo, you can't just be some metaphor for the paradox of war, showing that ending wars quickly by being as brutal and ruthless as possible actually SAVES livesBut that's exactly what happens in 8.
>>750255860Those gauges are preatty meaningless stats.Missiles behaves same for every plane, upgrades are same too (in MP there is reduced damage at ground targets if you aren't attacker iirc).Same goes for specials, the same type behaves the same on different planes.F-35's special AA missile is pretty garbage.F-35 is a lame duck for a top tier aircraft
>>750252659Tasha board.Kate world.
>>750246382Remind me again why we are fine with this character in a fighter pilot game
>>750256136She is an anime characted turn'd into 3d(pd (in unrealslop)).
>>750256136She's just your run of the mill Jap Gundam character that pretty much gets sidelined halfway through for a real woman.
>>750246460Hitler wanted to genocide THAT?
>>750256069I feel like they should matter, but maybe the handling numbers etc just don't scale enough to have any decisions be meaningful?
So the patch still isn't up.
>>750246538>womanSrs
>>750256764Yeah she isn't a woman yeah. She's a little girl. There's doubts she is even 16 yet and probably still a bedwetter.
>9th installment of the ace combat series>still no massive ground effect vehicle
>>750246382well, she does have that eastern european twink look
>>750257065>still no map without borders
>>750257130Well her chest is extremely flat in game. Probably could be a boy for all we know?
Was that fucking Ichigo Kurosaki leading the soldiers taking the turntable or am I going crazy
>>750250662Yeah the fight with 22 has them doing this weird stationary airshow motion that's easy prey for guns, what the hell was that about?
>>750252190He likes to remind himself that HE KILLED PRESIDENT HARLING
>>750257240JYB was Grimm in 5 and PJ in 0. Plus additional voices in nearly every game since. He's a series regular.
Your face when the Sotoans in land battleship 1 are cooked? The only good Sotoan are dead Sotoans. >>750246382You do know Russia is a big place. Her dad looks from the Asian part of Russia too.
>>750246382she looks goofy as fuck kek I can get that for like 60 euro where I live but japan loves the lower class eastern european peasant girl aesthetic
>>750256703That means I still got full credit
>>750246382how slavic niggas be moving>sir please come and fuck our women, sir we have most fuckable women on the planet, our women are pure succubi, please come and breed and mate with our women, please sir
>>750257670Damn, he put the exact gravely tone on it to trigger my 20 year old memories
>>750256136because the pre-releaae spergouts of a hungarian convinced no one to drop the game
>>750246382Have you SEEN Ukrainian chicks?
>>750250414I don't understand why guys around here find this to be some kind of dealbreaker.
Game dont look no different than 7 but my fps in 7 hard locks at 120, with a lot of room to spare, while 8 is 85 fpsI aint spending $70 for that.
>>750259675Stfu you poor retard
>>750259789now zoom out so we can see how the planes look in actual gameplay
>>750257284Nuggets can't into guns. And AC8 has the most broken guns I've ever seen out of the whole series, they're ridiculous.
>>750256703That makes me wonder: does the TIDB leak contains any beta content?
WHERE'S MY F-15 (S)EX PROJECT ACES?!I NEED MY SEXAAAHHHHHHH
>game has in-mission cutscenes that puts you in specific place, kills your speed and makes launched projectiles disappear.>doesn't do this for the final stage of final mission, if you are badly positioned you're fucked.
>>750260336>see a commie star on a commie plane >instantly know there's a butt hurt russian flying it
>>750250606Yeah I've got a tough time handling the momentum of the plane
>>750257284When you see it coming it's also perfect to throw enough missiles at 22 that they'll go through, so with even a tiny amount of guns he goes boom
>>750259675Trust me man, there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in both lighting and model quality. Hell, just fly low over a forested area and look at how much more diverse the tree cover is now.
>>750261351Blaze gets drained every night by her... lucky bastard
>>750260456>see post like this>instantly know there's a butthurt hohol behind it
>>750246382It's amazing how ass the cutscenes look on PS5, 30fps and checkerboarding so bad they accidentally re-invented interlacing. Death to all ray-tracing.
Is S-rank more lenient in 8 compared to 7? In 7 at least it almost feels like it demands the perfect setup to be remotely achievable, or maybe I just suck idk.
>>750246382slav girls are really cute
>>750256110Post more kate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn9cag6QrcsWas it really necessary to play doom metal when killing trainee pilots?
>>750261351UOOOOOOOHHHHHHH HAG FATIGUED EYES EROTIC!!! ToT
>>750259675>Game dont look no different than 7
>>750262510I expected the dog to become the squadron mascot like Kirk in AC5, instead hes abandoned in Theve once you retake the city, what a waste.
>>750262510What happened to the dog though? He basically disappears after the first few missions.
>>750262131Yes, it's actually very, very easy this time. Only hiccup is mission 28 if you take too long to defeat Shadows.
>>750262747>What happened to the dog though? Hes disembarked with the civilans after you defeat land battleship 1, you can see him with tasha on the gangway in the cutscene which implies that tasha abandoned him when she returned on the Endurance, what a bitch
>>750263018Tasha really is overdue some correction.
>>750262417Yes. Send them all to the promised land. The veteran pilots literally told them to go home and they disregarded him. That said, I found out if one of the veteran pilots survive, they convince the rookie pilot not to sudoku herself. >>750262747He's last seen on the gangway as the civilians disembarked Endurance. Tasha presumably left him ashore in Theve.
>>750249571thanks for reminding me to make this
>>750262510Top dog looks just like a photograph of a dog while bottom has noticeable pixels.
>>750263405I hate how accurate this is. Kate is about the only person as bloodthirsty as the player in game
>>750263018It might not have even been her dog in the first place, there were a lot of other civilians on the ship.
>>750255273I did every mission but uh, 25-27 in the F18 variants.
Considering the reference to food shortages do you think they ate the dog?
>>750263509I was considering making it with Kate instead of Baxter, and making the attached with Baxter in Hope's place, but I can't be bothered
>>750263405Good one
>>750263836I think this works well as it is.
>>750260213>And AC8 has the most broken guns I've ever seen out of the whole series, they're ridiculous.Play 6. Those guns put even broken lasers to shame.
>>750264192fair, plus now I get to do this
>>750264447kek
Another Ace Combat game, another banger OST.
>ran out of time fighting Shadow-22FUCK, I hate when they make you fight these assholes that avoid all missiles and turn on a fucking dimeAAAAAAAA
>>750263509now I wish there was an alt route where Tasha goes full guns blazing after M25.
>>750265148Best you can do is gun the bastard down.
>>750265191>Tasha is killing all the Sotoans Rex are you going to do something?<< GOOD GOOD LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU TASHA! >>
>>750265008kek https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EyB9GuG1sQs
>>750265148use missiles when they go for a cobra.do a cobra yourself when one of them is tailing you
>>750265204But even when I turn by hitting both brake and accel I can't turn well enough to get him in the MG circle assuming they even show up
>>750261565There's no way Blaze survived the first night after she returned from space. He's with Chopper now.>>750265148Bring SASMs and try not laugh too hard.
>>750265392unfortunately I'm in iirc the Rafale.>>750265343What's a cobra?
>>750246382Haven't played this yet. Is there a story explanation for why a 5'whatever girl who looks like she just entered high school is a navy pilot on an aircraft a carrier?
I kinda wish topkek showed some more emotion. They should've leaned harder into the angle of him being a guy that has fun shooting people down.>>750265463Should've paid attention to the chatter.
>>750265580yes
>>750265618Thank you
>>750265601The chatter never told me how to perform the weird stunt move he's doing, just that he's doing something weird and shooting missiles out of his ass because of it
>>750265646Thanks
>>750265601get to ~500 speed and then just high G pitch up. congrats you've unlocked PSM.missile lock is cracked during PSM
>>750260278what actually is the difference between F15EX and previous versions?
>>750265148MG range+spray and pray (it works)or cheese with SASM with all upgrades
>>750265148I was trying to S-rank him on Ace before the patch nerfs him and I was having massive trouble with this piece of shit team but he himself just flew straight for 2 seconds and I machine-gunned him down like a dog
>>750266390*his team
Who's the cutie in the LINE stamps?
>>750248018No, dumbass that's your wingman who diesAlso she's meant to be a surrogate daughter, the character the player gets with is this chick She dies too
>>750265308>Tasha is killing all the Sotoans Rex are you going to do something?>No
woo, softlocked during rearming!
>>750266973Finish the game, sis
>>750267717it's kind of fucked that they double confirm her death and then bring her back. Get shot down, then sink under water. Nope she's back.
Sotoa did nothing wrong
>>750267841everything*
>>750267813They had to cause who else was going to make Tasha do her homework after Baxter died?
can't believe a random pilot who was in the middle of the ocean became the saviour of the FCU
>>750267873You just are envious of sotoan culture, I bet you don't even own a yurt.
>>750267813Honestly i hated it, it was such an emotional cheap shot>>750267841t. Girish Toprak
>>750267841>>750267984You're a real nomad you know that?
>>750267984>you know nothing of the true warrior nomad way of life!>no I've never touched a sheep>or walked the plains>yes I live next to a Walmart
>>750268104How did Baxter get away with this
I hope to one day be as racist as my boy Baxter
Which mission give the most PAM the fastest way ?
>>750267968I can't believe a random pilot who was in the middle of the ocean became your wife post game!
>>750267813That was fine. What wasn't fine was bungling the pacing of reintroducing her.>Kate does her "anonymous" musing over the radio>Tasha goes "Is that-?">Cutscene starts>"Kate?!">Continues as beforeEveryone needing to chime in first was just dumb and undermined the moment.
>"Rex, this is Lieutenant-Commander Kat Evans. Requesting permission to bounce on it crazy style and conceive your child. And I won't take "no" for an answer."What were they thinking when they wrote this dialogue?
>>750268529Probably the same thing when they wrote the dialogue about her spanking Tasha and Coster for misbehaving.
Hola
flopslop of the year
So other than sort of implying that Jackpot 9 is the news lady's daughter, do any of these people mentioned in the game? My headcanon is that the pilot guy becomes Rex since he was on his way to the Endurance to meet up with the Wings of Theve when the video ends.
>>750267717Cmon man
>>750269120what in the fuck is this
>>750269120I don't think anyone watched Zero Hour enough to care?
Who's Kate porn lookalike in real life ?
I'm so tired of the Hornet being the default in everything, boring-ass generic airplane.
>>750269582The default in this game is Tomcat though?
>>750269690That's a weird-looking Tomcat.
>>750269582AC8 is Top Gun Maverick the Videogame, pls understand
>>750267594finito!
So why were Jenkins and Rex alone in the ocean, were they being fags without borders or what
>>750269582for me it's weird I started out not caring for the Hornet, then after the end of this game and a bunch of hours in it in DCS now I love it.
>>750269690Did you mean Tomboy?>>750270082They're not navy anon?
I keep failing emergency sorties
>>750270313What are you flying and using little girl? Come on tell us!
>>750246807No
>>750269813I actually enjoyed the F18E a lot. It has QAAMs and SODs which is everything you need and can carry you through to the endgame
>>750270189>They're not navy anon?Jenkins was, but I don't remember them saying Rex was just asking if he could fly. Also if they were navy, where'd the rest of the forces go? The dinghy had just them and there were no other boats in the ocean
>>750270313I always get stuck in the thick of it distracting ai while my allies kill every thing for points
>>750270523Jenkins wasn't navy though? He was an air force mechanic? So much so that Purple Magic were pissed off that the Endurance have him and want him back?
>>750250002>the game doesn't really punish him for itThat's because he's such a good pilot. In the Ace Combat universe, morality is based on how good of a pilot you are. You can be a horrific war criminal and mass murderer, but if you fly the best, you're a hero. Toprak and Tewy were in it for the love of the game.
>>750246382I've not seen a single one who'd look like that here. But Yuktobania is supposed to be the not-USSR and it was a home to 666 or so ethnicities.
>>750246807>KuromiYou have bpd and no emotional controlMy waifus have no such issues
>>750264447where's seethe?
>>750267594Oh shit, you too?
Brothers my eyes have been opened to the beauty of the Rafale. Truly aerodynamic sexxo.
>>750270647Weren't Purple Magic also navy and stationed at a coastal naval base? Or am I severely misremembering
>>750270970Purple Magic were air force. They had F-15's for starters which clearly means they weren't going to be navy. The player and Jenkins in the very first cutscene confirmed they're air force.
>>750270939Welcome, brother. Too bad, it got mogged IRL by the J-10. I blame India for that.
>>750270970They are air force, Alzheimersbro
>>750270523>>750270647I think Jenkins is a navy heli pilot, he points to a heli wreckage during the intro ( you must turn camera hard to see it(
>>750265785My planefu is so fit it can manhandle me with one arm.
>>750271157Anon he is a mechanic and his literal uniform says air force on it?
>>750270082If you look to the left during the intro, you can see a crashed helicopter, which implies that Rex is actually a helicopter pilot and not a fighter one, but simply didn't correct anyone when they assumed the latter.
>>750270480That's even worse, they shove another Hornet variant for every occasion and at every stage of the game down your throat.
>>750268272Funny how quick it became accepted within the fanbase that Rex and Kate are probably a thing.
>>750271285>which implies that Rex is actually a helicopter pilot and not a fighter one, but simply didn't correct anyone when they assumed the latter."ah fuck how do you fly this, I guess it can't be THAT hard"
>>750271285I actually think the player is a fighter pilot but the Japs kind of forgot that only the US and them run their helicopters via the army and everyone else tends to run theirs via the air force.>>750271416See pic>>750271427That's because Rex is in her backseat at the end of the game
>>750271281They eat MREs long past heir expiration date
>>750271717nice
>>750246382Russia is a big place so you can find quite a lot of slav girls with some asian DNA in them so it's not uncommon to find a blue eyed hapa there.Anyway strangereal isn't the real world to begin with.
>>750271717To be honest that isn't as bad as you think. Usually its only if they got discolored or the packs are swelled up should you be worried.
>>750271710>only the US and them run their helicopters via the army and everyone else tends to run theirs via the air force.In most countries army and air force (and navy) have their own helicopters
>>750271508Cope was giving him lessons between missions.
>>750246807Real talk. These people should be married.
>>750246382Yep, looks like a Russian girl from 15 years ago.
>>750270751Is Cinnamoroll ok?
>>750249571>Rex is actually just whoopi goldberg and can hear all ghosts of people who die near him.>Has to listen to Sotoans burn for half the missions and not get an erection. A cruel fate.
>>750258959fuck off. sexpats should get a bullet
>>750272269>okay, so NOW I box the contact with the TDC and depress?>no, Rex, you forgot to move the SCS to the right DDI, the TDC cursor is still on the AMPCD and you've just adjusted the map scale for no reason>fuck my life
>>750272648
>that mission where you shoot down like 20 gemmas>that one trainee on the radio about how he can't eject
>>750271508The real question is how he flies a helicopter, I'm imagining 90% upside down and through tunnels.
>>750272697Imagine going to the promised yurts and having to explain you got there by some air clown (no not that one) who had to read the manual to shoot at you. I don't think Shadow squadron numbers go into quintuple digits.
>>750272726
>>750269582The F-15 and F-22 have been the mainstay canon planes of AC since the PS2 era (only Razgriz had F-14s), no idea what you're talking about
>>750270893That cockpit's a bit less fancy than I was expecting.
>>750272726Clown 22 would consider it a matter of interpretation.
>>750273107It looks very 1999-era futuristic, which is fitting since it's basically an AC3 plane. Externally, though, it's sexo.
>>750273107>>750273436It feels like its a prop out of Paul Verhoeven movie to me.
>>750270676That is a shit mopping job.
>>750250606it's more a problem with flying than the guns themselvesif you don't actually know what you're doing flying a plane, managing turn rate, speed, etc. makes actually lining up for sustained machine gun fire almost impossiblemuch easier to get close and press the missle button when the hud yells at you to
>>750266390They're getting nerfed?
>>750259789god I love my planefu
>>750273601Shadow22 having infinite flares was apparently too much for people.
>>750273747yes because it's objectively retarded. hope this helps.
>>750273747well it is terrible design because SASM trivialize him while everything else is useless. he is right now both laughably easy and absurdly hard.
>>750271427She spends like half the game giving you bedroom eyes in FPS cutscenes
>>750273930that's just how she looks
>>750273930She makes quite a few comments about the player actually pulling his weight unlike Cope which makes her sound quite excited.
>>750270939>>750271138My men.
did u guys like debra wilson's performance
>>750274254We ride.
>>750274316Woops, wanted this picture
>>750274271I did. The XO is quite endearing with all the cake comments and how she starts to care about DD by the end.I literally never notice Debra Wilson unless faggot devs start shoving her face in my vidya
>>750274271She was good as Pike. As a character, I thought Pike was a bit too casual with the rules, but I figure she gets lots of leeway with the Endurance being the last functional carrier in the nation.
>>750274545She's actually not bad. Just the characters she usually plays are fucking insufferable.
>>750274254>>750274316>>750274405I will never accept this how much meta rafales are.Delta wings are forever gay.
>>750246460>LuxuryAI
>>750274728>i thought Pike was a bit too casual with the rulesIt kinda makes sense once it's revealed that she's THE degenerate gambler of the ship
>>750274797Nuh-huh
>>750274812Game wasn't out at the time, couldn't afford to be picky with media about best girl.
>>750252704>Bandog:<< Settle down ,excited to have another murderer with you ? >>>Random Penal squadron:<< YEEEEAAH!>>They got rid of those clowns a bit too soon honestly, they were pretty fun.
Yeah if there was one character I'd swap out, is that nigger mission commander. Really obnoxious bitch.
>>750275121DD was way more annoying>I NEED MORE VIEWS
>>750275262DD is great. I love a character that goes from hateable to endearing like that.
>>750275121Aw is Anon mad that a black woman told him to do things
Black characters are fine here actually, Debra Wilson is tolerable and Baxter is /our/guy
>'These skies belong to you, Rex. Go take what's yours.>'Shoot her down. I can't stand to see her like this'.>Please, grant my comrades' souls safe passage to Hortus Regis Alti. That is all I ask'. >'I'll never pull this trigger again. Never'.I stood up and shouted "KINO" about 50 times during the last few missions.
>>750275809>Surrender, Mavisimen.>Better to die in the sky, Second Lieutenant.>I know, I hoped to.>Then bide your time to fly again.
>>750275809The whole game is one long kino ride. It goes off the rails at like Mission 15.
>>750275262DD is alright>Sticks to the Endurance when it goes through the Rainband>Gets inside the AWACS>Finds the spy>Gets strapped into a rocket inside a shuttle from like 20 years while Comona is being attacked to try to damage a satellite with inbuilt kill lasers>Pays for the mercs And he did all of this for the love of the game, literally zero reason to be involved in any of this, dude was a ride or die nigga.
>>750276081Dude was a nepo babby that took daddy's money and did all the right things with it.
>>750275121I didn't get that vibe. She was a very straightforward professional-under-pressure XO. The only time her character did anything surprising is when she Shot the mole herself.
>>750262510Hmmm
>>750273506It kind of reminds of EDI.
>>750250606Most people have their machine gun aiming set to type A instead of type B.
>>750274917>the guy she mentored now plays in multiple online casinos at the same time purely for funI wonder how much of a degenerate she was in her youth.
>>750263405Reddit
>>750263490Yeah that's because top is a non-moving render in a CGI cutscene while bottom is an actual model in a real-time scene.
I miss the high quality CG cutscenes from Ace Combat 7. Supposedly made by a very high profile Japanese studio too. They were very well made.
>>750276136Yeah, and everyone loves that cool-ass rich friend who's a ride or die nigga at heart.
>>750276272True, I love that shit. Getting intractable cutscenes was still cool, though. I want the live-action cutscenes again.
>>750276293Definitely.
>>750276218If the game had come out a few months later, I'd expect a subplot with DD and Dealer placing insider-info war bets on Strangereal's prediction markets to increase their munition funds for the upcoming battles.
>>750276234YOU'RE REDDIT
>>750274271Her voice works well for that kind of character, I'm just glad they didn't face scan her.
>>750276081>nepobaby wants to do something himself without relying on his money and name>instead of being an asshole about it, he chooses to help others and create hope among people during wartimeI want the Doniphan Conglomerate to survive the corpo takeover now.
>150 GBWtf?
>>750276018Mission 20 is where the kino starts with the F22s
>>750276491Tasha and Kate are FULLY MODELED.
>>750276491The Sotoan chants are in .flac format
>>750276491Shitloads of audio and high resolution plane and ship textures
>>750246807you have mental issues.
>>750276512>It's a terrible strategy, isn't it?!>NOI basedjacked here
>>750276136He is, but sticking inside the endurance while going through the killzone of a Tonitrus Spear is just insane for a civilian, Tasha did it inside a plane and Baxter was going yo wtf are you doing bitch, meanwhile D.D did it inside a boat, i can't hate a dude with the balls to do it for free.
>>750276512Seeing an enemy squadron of F-22s was when I knew shit got real
>Cope tells you to remember a numberWe're about to get blown the fuck out
>>750265580She's a civilian stunt pilot. She was contracted to to do some stunt videos in an F18 for recruitment promotional material. Your carrier, an ancient rust bucket that should be a museum ship, only had a skeleton crew since it was a non-combat promotional stunt. Then damn near the entire navy was nuked in harbor from orbit and she gets shanghaid into the war effort because she has a pulse and knows how to fly a plane.
>tfw someone finally uploaded one of the game's best tracks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHBSatqku18
>>750276834>because she has a pulse and knows how to fly a plane.Also probably some legacy reasons, as her mom was a Yuke Ace in the Yuke-Sotoa war.
>cant S rank mission 30 on Eliteill never be a real ace, bros, that final sub rush is retarded
>>750276787So what do the number means Maso-, I mean Sawy-, I mean Cope?
>>750276939Did you S rank mission 28? I S ranked every other mission, but best I got was an A on 28.

>>750249041is that vinny vinesauce
>>750276018I can't believe people were saying missions 13-15 were the shit stretch (it's just 13 and 14 and really 13 isn't even THAT bad), the Ladon chase is absolute kino
I'm annoyed that my X-40 can't fly above 12 km like Tewy's X-40
>>750276834okay that's actually good explanation, thanks
>>750277852If it wasn't for the Sotoan uniform I would honestly think that would be Baxter.
>>750277801I'm more upset the railgun has so little ammunition, this aircraft sucks.

>>750246382Any lewds of her yet?
>>750280439I haven't flown any of the EW aircraft, do you get to give yourself the super missiles buff?
>>750280594with esm or iews, yes
>>750280439I bought it just for my wingmen to use to buff me
>>750280504>A grim reminder about why I stopped talking about the games I play.I thought that's because you had no one to talk about them with IRL
>>750280439I flew one cause I didn't know any better. Should have saved for the Barricader. That said its ESM buff is pretty good and I have managed to win Warfare matches spamming ECM and taking on the entire team solo without firing a shot leaving the rest of my team to rack up the points.

>>750281238Just a mom with her bratty daughter.
>>750281238No, thanks.
>>750270313At least you get emergency sortiesI haven't had a single oneThey were the one part of online I was interested in and I can't force myself to play these crappy modes any longer to try and get one
>>750280750Kate would hate that, both the cig and the horrific arm issue
that GUN only medal seems hard to get. how the fuck is mission 28 gonna work? i guess mig21 with gunpodsi tried doing attacker only medal at the same time and it seems impossible. tfw minimum 5 campaign playthroughs
>>750280819It's OK, I'm sooooort of in the same boat, I do have people I *could* talk up my gaymin with, it just doesn't naturally come up in conversation much, or at least not much space for it.For example, just last night I was hanging out with some friends, one of them also an AC fan. We both finished AC8, and the extent of our talk about it was>so, did ya beat AC8? :)>yup :) it was great>ikr? :)Then we just talked about other shit and went back to the other stuff we were yapping out with the rest of the group.
>>750281487If the gunpods are even half as good as the ones from AC7 the run will be a breeze
>>750281487Gun and attacker only sound annoying, but doable.I'm literally never gonna even attempt the no damage run. Fuck that medal
>>750281802The upgrade after X-40 gives you like 25 % free hidden HP, I have eaten a missile on Ace and still at 0 % damage.
>>750281802it would be doable if they gave the su-34 more gun ammo, but it only gets 800 instead of 2400 like most other planesthe no-damage might not be so bad with that final part you get, that lets you take like 5 hits before you start taking actual damage.>>750281874i think its hit based, not damage based. iirc i took like 3 missiles for free. the real problem seems to be AA guns on bombers and shit
>>750281487Plane is irrelevant just practicing your aiming. Here's a few tips:>line up your shots by yawing. Guns are pin-point, so fine movements are needed to land them.>forget about the reticle, aim with your eyes.>practice "throwing" the shots in FRONT of what you're trying to shoot down rather than aiming straight at it. This is pretty much exactly how you tag planes while you, and/or they, are pitching. When you pitch, your shots travel in an arc, so you have to adjust your aim accordingly.>there's nothing with just spraying the gun at a furball, you might even get a couple of kills out of it.
>>750281487Attacker only is not bad but I wouldn't recommend trying to do gun only at the same time as it, even the most agile attacker is pretty cumbersome and denying yourself missiles is going to make a lot of shit super tedious.
>>750249041Thats just vinesauce if he was hot
>>750281936It's doable. Replayes mission 28 yesterday on Ace for the Ace of aces and finished with no damage without even aiming for that.All russian planes have the 800 ammo, slower rate of fire but more damage per bullet.
>>750249971It was a preorder bonus.
>>750281487You can get it on Veteran where they give you infinite gun ammoCombine that with MGP or a Russian/Euro plane with 800 bullets/more damage and it's a breeze
>>750250002I'd dress like Topkek IRL if i could get away with it, his drip is inmaculate .
>>750281948yeah, i'll probably end up going for multirole with f-4 gunpods instead>>750282176i cant, once ace difficulty is unlocked im not allowed to play anything else.
>>750281402Kate would legit spank her ass if she caught her doing that.
>>750250414Sorry unc, you would not get it.
>>750281487>how the fuck is mission 28 gonna work?bombers are ez, you can take one down with minimal ammo usage. shadows are already pretty much gun only. also don't forget you can rearm.
>>750246605So strangereal is a fictionalized version of the 1990s?
>>750250002>Yellow 13 and Yellow 4 are in pilot heaven togetherI like Hortus Regis Alti now
>>750281487You will need to earn that 25 millions anyway.
>>750281874>>750281936Yeah, I know about Adaptive Armor.It's not really the missiles and SAMs, there are too many sources of AA gunfire, flak cannons, Ladon PLSL and railgun shockwaves that it's almost inevitable to accumulate 10ish% dmg. Some missions are just messy like that
>>750280040>kate ai
>>750282591might have to play like a pussy with LAGMs and LAAMs. or 4AAMs with extra range partscant imagine how mission 27 is gonna work though. that shit is a real pain. might have to just snipe the pillars with UGBs from way high above
>>750282591Apparently for the Ladons you can just stick your wingmen in Foxhounds and tell them to forward attack with special weapons.
>>750282730where are the pubes
I probably worsened my tinnitus with this game, but hot damn the Tupolevs exploding in mission 28 were magnificent from cockpit view.
>>750282901Her pubes are 6th gen stealth.
>>750282730Salvian mercenaries are so lucky...
Any cool stuff I might have missed on first playthrough?I'm on my second run now and apparently the Gemma trainee that ejects will get shot if she doesn't receive comms from one of the surviving pilots telling her to not throw her life away.
>>750282792I think you would just go in with +range SODs at low angles, one of those can take out a whole branch
>>750283257Yeah she killed herself on my first playthrough lol, I ate all the nuggies :)
>>750283257Save Jackpot 9 if you haven't already
>>750283257She blows her own brains out
>>750283358>>750283546Oh, I thought she was shot by the soldiers that were going to capture her...
>>750282901pubes is bad for aerodynamics
>>750283694Every pilot needs a landing strip
>>750282730I would like to lick the sweat off her body
>>750249067A good chunk of Eastern Europeans unironically are hapas/quapas. Especially the further east you go. Tasha is probably half and half. Her dad straight up looks like he’s a character out of Yakuza.
showing what happened to kate immediately after all the baxter scenes was diabolical
they're hiding mobius one in the fort gray bunkers
>>750284330Why wouldn't he be up in North Point in one of his many mansion
>>750284431The molemen dug too deep, and found a tunnel. A tunnel just wide enough for an F-22.
>>750284617Considering this is Strangereal I'm pretty sure all tunnels are built for planesTheir equivalent of Plato's Cave was probably the first subterranean dogfighting arena
>>750281301I fuck both my mom and my daughter
>>750284848Who is also your sister?
I'm disappointed they brought back YES/NO from 5 but not alternate story missions so your choices REALLY don't matter and sometimes your opinion just gets ignored
>>750265148Personally what worked for me was spamming QAAMs and then landing to resupply when I ran out before returning to the dogfight.
>>750284230Tasha crying in the cockpit when Kate was shot down made me feel really sad.
>>750285482They should have shot down Tasha instead and have Coster and Kate cry
It's out: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/katherine.70406/ not ingame model sadly
>>750277616I got a shit score for this mission because I stopped shooting these kids down
>>750285748The nuggets give you fewer points than the mook MiG-29s in that mission kek
>>750285748They're not even worth that much
>>750285837>>750285842But you gotta cull them all for the level's two aces to spawn in.
>>750276834>>750277849Additionally, at the start of the game, all of the heavy lifting is done by Queen Flight, which is composed of professional military pilots. Tasha is part of Joker Flight. Joker flight has two roles. First they pretend to fly CAP so that the carrier looks protected and the exhausted Queen flight can get some rest between sorties. Second the look pretty and have kills/victories falsely attributed to them as part of some ghost of Kiev psyop glownigger bullshit. Then your player character gets added to joker flight and just goes>let me solo them.
I waited the entire fucking game for Jack Flight to become real and it never manifested.
Fuck the Shadows, I didn't feel sorry for their "fly with honor" bullshit final lines, when they fucking hit Kate's squad after they had to bail out.
>And that's exactly where the fun is... Landing a CLEAN SHOT on a CRITICAL TARGET>A powerful boat, a powerful gun, powerful ammunition, add to that lots of people and a PRECISE AIM... And sprinkle death all over it and the FORMULA IS COMPLETE!What the fuck was him problem?
>>750277016Mission 28 requires killing Shadows almost within like 3-5 minutes, which is fucking tedious as hell on Elite without unlocking endgame planes.
>>750286129All the Shadows have going for them is a cool theme and some stealth capabilities, as enemy aces they deserve a mere dog's death.
>>750286172He was the protagonist of whatever the submarine equivalent of Ace Combat is
>>750286229Three wordsGUNSGUNSGUNS
>>750286229Or wiping out the entire enemy airforce, that gives you enough points to not need the time bonus.
How do you S-rank these games without developing schizophrenia from all the beep-boop noises?
>>750286129I miss the variety of enemy squadrons, everyone being a part of Lux Lunae is lame.
>>750286276Somehow I'd only get like 1-2 hits per strafe/stunt they pull, holy shit do they take far more shots to kill with guns than normal.
>>750246807
>>750286343That's the neat part, you don't!I still hear [RAILGUN WARNING] in my sleep
>>750286361Well the themeing makes sense as they're all just basic little bitches riding the coattails of the queen of the larpers, Moon 11, hence why they're called Moon Light squad. Not sure what importance the number 11 has really outside of being the first double number you can hit.
>>750286343Why contain it?
>>750286172He has no problem, hitting a beautiful shot is the best feeling ever
>>750286343You tune them outMost of them don't actually matter, most enemies have terrible aimYou learn to identify the few actual threats and dodge themBut I've always had horrible tinnitus so maybe I'm just immune to these things
>>750286343your brain just filters them out and makes you do hard turns automatically when they beep fast enough>>750286508damn, i wish i got 2B whispering to me in my sleep like that. i dont even hear the railgun warning anymore
>>750278612>>750278698Why did Ladons fly so close together? If they separated and attacked from two sides we'd never have finished the mission
>>750256110B.Tan universe.
>>750286276guns don't work that well if you don't both the upgrade
>>750286630Because they were a squad, and they were doing saturation attacks that made it hard for the CIWS to stop their attacks if they weren't as numerous from one side.
>>750285645So when do we get wholesome scenes like holding Kate's hand at dinner?
>>750286520Wouldn't it just be because there were ten others in Moon Flight back in the day?
>>750279398>doesn't afraid of anythingIsn't it time for your monthly bath, rajeesh?

>>750287141That's a different gambling term because they're not a plane squadron.
>>750246382Russians, yes.All slavs looks very different. Check metart, especially slav collabs.Rus vs Czech girlRus vs usa/west eu girls is also funny A lot of models from ru are petite and west eu models are huge compared to them.
>>750286990lmao
>>750287468Nah, Asians doesn't look like this.
hnnnnngh~Imagine dogfighter version with these curves.
>>750286990You really pissed that jeet off, he's samefagging you hard.
Dear Indians, please come to Russia.
In terms of mute flying psychopaths where does Rex place compared to the rest?
>>750288219I can't remember doing anything like slaughtering a training squadron in the other AC games I've played, so I'd place him pretty highly.
>>750288219probably not the most skilled pilot (i'd say that goes to trigger) but based on some yes/no answers you can give he's by far the most bloodthirsty
>>750288219lowhe's a squaddad like Blaze
>>750288219going by the Assault Records killrate compared to the other games he definitely aims at the cockpit, probably just below Mercenary Cipher who bombs refugee tents.
>>750288219There's a reason his name is Rex (KING).
>>750288219Pretty high on the bloodlust scale, less so on the crazy flying.
>>750288219he easily has the largest single day killcount of probably any strangereal pilot in history considering he destroyed fatsia, the entire sotoan air force, tewy, and the lager machine in a single day
>>750246382I can't run this game even at 720p (dips in the low twenties)
Why was Jan Cope a POS?
>fly through the turntable 3 times>no one comments on it
>>750288219Up there with Cipher and maybe Nemo, but Nemo cheats by literally not having emotions to begin with>>750288270Silber in Zero were mostly fresh blood with 3 (of 5) dying/going MIA, and that was Knight Cipher
>>750288657There are lines of dialogue about it, but a lot of people say it can easily get drowned out by other dialogueWorked on my machine
>>750288270you can bomb a lot of civilians in Zero for extra money which is way worse since unlike Gemma they didn't willingly signed up for the slaughter.
>Cope says he's going to leave me alone after I shoot down Moon 11>Doesn'tI wouldn't even be able to take a shit in peace anymore. Somebody get this nigga away from me.
>>750288657Probably didn't let the mandatory lines play out first, Dealer was shocked the first time I did it and Coster asked me if I had a death with the second time
>>750288630he was a nomad
>>750288774Come to SotoaCome to Sotoa
>>750288630yes, he was A positive
>>750288657it has lower priority than some mission progress chatterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkaJvMi6X8c
>>750288775>>750288729I dropped UGBs on each pass so they kept shouting about enemy forces dwindling.I'll try again without blowing shit up next time.
Dare I say Ace Comba 8t is more like Gurren Lagann than the other mecha this time. Pure HOPEcore
>>750288630>>750288859don't B negative
>>750276018>he didn't pick a squadron of F-18s for the last mission
>>750288219>Canonically shot down all the nuggets in paint in blue>Shoots down even more nuggets in Rocky day 2>Completely decimates the logistics in his version of Long dayHe'll never beat Galm "Cipher blow up this hospital for $20" 1 but he seems to have more nuetral targets then Trigger did.
>>750288890Weird, so did I and I cleared it out in about 2 passes, still got the voice lines
>>750288219Him and Cipher are both the highest. He's killed more than Cipher as well. Around 1,000 in one day alone. Cipher is a better pilot but Rex is the absolute grunt grunder
>>750274316this makes my refuling rod the big refuling rod
>>750288270Cipher blew up houses for money in mission 2, pixy straight calls it. Don't believe me look it up
>>750246460Isn't she like 16
>>750286990Holy fucking brainrot. How new can you be?
>>750288969>but he seems to have more nuetral targets then Trigger did.Trigger and Knight Cipher are in the air for the flyingRex and Merc Cipher are in the air to kill everyone below.
>>750289308Its kind of unclear because there's no fucking way she should still be flying without being enlisted after the first landship.
>>750289308Unknown, the Yuke-Sotoa war was 20 years ago, so she can be anywhere between 16 and 19.
>>750289008But is there anything wrong with grinding anyone who doesn't fly so good into paste?
>tfw Deathless Green literally An Heroes
>>750289780No. No there's not...
>>750290025It's not like he was in the building set to blow, but I still like to believe he said "fuck all sotoans" before pushing the button & dying.
>>750289780Their fault for not respecting my personal airspace.
>>750289308Subtitles list her as "Pink-haired woman" initially, but it doesn't matter.
>>750289632Rules about who gets to fly are pretty loose in AC.
>>750289308Strongly hinted at being around 16. Could be high as 19.
>>750290025https://youtu.be/3ntAE0mYgMI?t=695>Deathless Leader doesn't even pretend that saving him is an option>Just tells him to finish the job>He fucking does
>>750246382Ive been with exactly two slavs in my life, they dont look like this at all, they look caucasian but they always have brown private parts for whatever reason specially the asshole
>>750265463Remember that thing from the intro Cope did and then 22 did?
>>750263405
