>>483676743It's totally because I was trying to rush it out to get it linked to the next thread
>>483677130Never skip pre-flight checks!
>>483676743>>483677215Are these AI generated or is there an artist behind this?
>>483681462Yes, anon, of course, they are obviously AI generated.
>>483681462...Assuming you're not ironic, AI really doesn't look like that, and there's a "signature" in the picture above your reply in the top panel. I think he renamed his account, but this should be him.https://x.com/Heartbreak_Juan/media

Yeesh
>>483682630>i even fucked up the sourceman
>>483684621Thanks, I hate it
>>483684947The source you gave did the design for this artist's version of F-15-chan.
>>483684858There are two things in this image that really get me going, one are the booty shorts and the other is that M16 with the M203 Heat Shield attached, something about those ventholes in the heatshield that make it look so damn cool. Might be because it's also iconic from Predator.
<< Leave Osea in the dust. >>
The next person to say the A-10 should be retired before we permanently move out of dustbowl/poverty conflicts deserves to be shot.
DORITOS DORITOSDORITOS
>>483704995It's like someone tried building a B2 out of toilet parts
Do IRL pilots have personal emblems or is it just a squadron thing? I know the pilot's callsign is written on the side of the cockpit, but I eon't think I've ever a custom emblem
>>483700661The A-10 is an obsolete piece of trash that was developed for a potential conflict in a world 50 years ago and it and its stupid gimmicks have no place in a modern combat environment. They should all be scrapped.
>>483700661get back in pierre
If you say "The A-10 is obsolete" three times in front of a mirror at midnight, the ghodt of Pierre Sprey strafes your house with a 30mm rotary cannon.Jokes aside, it fills the very specific niche of performing grpund attack agains targets that can't really fight back on the cheap.
The voice actor for the journalist from ACZ went on to voice act Fugo in JoJo part 5.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ysmdYXGUc>cagacazzothat's certainly something to hear coming out of his mouth
>>483700661At that point you might as well just use Tucanos
>>483709821>strafes your house with a 30mm rotary cannonand then depending on the phase of the moon, either your house only gets directly hit by like two or three of the 400 bullets that were fired, or the pilot misidentifies the nearest allied tank unit as his target and obliterates them
>>483660220>As the world moves more back into Cold War state those budgets return to fuck huge once moreWill they? I know they received a couple of extra dollars in the last few years but I doubt we'll see a relevant increase unless we get a long a war where they have enough time to make it bigger and let it stay high.
>>483709821The A-10 is okay for ventilating terrorists fighting in pajamas and it will probably get it's fair share of mileage but I think the Spectre gunships do it's GWOT job aka loitering around and pounding ground targets more efficiently.
Last thread someone was asking for opinions on modern F-15s. I guess it depends on how many they're putting out and how expensive they are. Off the top of my head I'd have to assume they're intended to flesh out our air defenses a little more numbers-wise, since we have all of what, 50 F-22s across the whole country? They're great planes but you probably want more than just a couple serving as air defense for a whole chunk of the country. Also good to have backup plans if another hurricane fucks up a bunch of them.
>>483753587The EX is intended to replace all the ANG C's and beyond that well it just depends on current needs of the USAF if they want more of them.Honestly after the war ends I wouldn't be surprised to see Ukraine place an order for a lot of them. Just due to the MMM ability they have.
>>483709821The A-10C+ is fully capable of dropping LGBs and GBUs from 20k just like any other multirole, (its new flight controls were lifted directly from the F-15E) its certainly more versatile than a fucking AC-130. A-10s are also used as FACs and CSARs.Discussion of real aircraft should be banned here, you guys embarrass yourselves without even realizing, and then I get 2nd hand embarrassment from being here
>>483763391Nobody's defending the fucking AC-130, that thing is a flying target
>>483763606The AC-130 is used well enough for supporting special forces in permissive environments like recentlyish in iraq taking out some militias attacking u.s installations.
>>483763606You retards still think A-10s are nothing more than a flying gun, fuck off
>>483765128of course it's more than that, it's also a nice target for any retard with a MANPAD or any sort of AA capable weapon system in the neighboring countries
>>483765242No more than any other aircraft. More harriers were shot down in Desert Storm than any other airframe, and A-10s were the only frames that were able to make it back to base for attempted crash landings after hit. They were also the only aircraft to engage SAMs over bosnia and not suffer a single loss, and were used to locate down F-16s pilots who weren't so lucky.But, hey who cares about facts and aviation history in /aceg/Lol, anime m I rite, guys?
>>483766615If we're stating facts then don't forget to mention the F-111 achieved far more ground kills than the A-10, or that the A-10s RCS is the size of a football stadium and the likeliest reason so many made it back is simply because so many kept getting hit in the first place. "it might sometimes not explode instantly to a missile" is not a valid point, you don't want to get hit in the first place and no sane commander would plan around his planes eating AAMs. And there's also the fact that most of the A-10's kills were achieved without using the gun, which only serves to give the ground crew a headache because the plane shakes itself apart every time the pilot pulls the trigger. Not to mention having to actually nose dive towards hostile targets is retarded WW2-level tactics. The plane would be objectively better if the gun was removed entirely and replaced with a single guided bomb or real avionics instead of the pilot having to stick his head out of the cockpit to check airspeed
>>483766615>They were also the only aircraft to engage SAMs over bosnia and not suffer a single loss, and were used to locate down F-16s pilots who weren't so lucky.Could they replicate the feat against a layered air defence system? Would it also be reasonable to assume that F-16s were sent in much less permissive environments, and the A-10s used to locate the Viper pilots operated in an environment that had already been mostly sanitised by the strike package said F-16s belonged to?
I think all planes have their role and they're all cool for thatAnd if it's still in service they probably have a use for it
>>483768084Of course, we all know politicians never make the wrong decisions, especially when their friendly MIC lobbyists are there to advice
>>483766615>>483763391I will be the first to admit we are morons who don't know about this stuff
>>483768084Well thats the catch with A-10 her days have long been up unless we're using them to kill brown people with Ak's. The Air force keeps trying and then Congress keeps saying nope. In no part due to several congress critters got their asses saved by random A-10 shows up and kills a bunch of brown people for them.Nice plane but its long past time for her to retire.
>483768251Hey, stop being me.
>>483767513You can read all about it here, one .pdf file and you'll be the most knowledgable poster in the next /aceg/ thread. https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/Portals/10/AUPress/Books/B_0090_HAAVE_HAUN_A10S_OVER_KOSOVO.pdf
>>483769497No, I'm me.
the real problem with the a-10 is that there isn't really anything in particular it does that is not done better or more conveniently by another aircraftit is only kept around because infantry like it when the big gun go brrt and that encourages teenagers to enlist/dupes congressmen into insisting it stay in service, anything else is cope
>>483771943That and cost. Sure, it's getting more expensive by the day due to being so old, but it's still cheaper than the alternatives for what it does
>>483769835>All but one of the SAMs failed to guideLocal plane dodges unguided missiles, declared unkillable, more news at 11
I say we just give all the pre-multirole attack aircraft to the Army and let them deal with it.
>>483771943I remember when McCain and his flunkies tried to mock a politician for suggesting the A-10 could be replaced with retrofitted bombers (among other possibilities, that was just the one they fixated on to mock her), only for the air force to release a report saying yes actually retrofitted bombers have done a better job at the A-10s own role than the A-10 does.
>>483772542congressional hearings are the pinnacle of "expert professional backed by an entire institution's worth of insight, data, and experience vs dude just trust me bro"
Insurgents fear meWarthogs fear me Soldiers turn their radars away from me As I fly, no AA site dares make a sound in my presenceI am alone in this empty sky
>>483771943>the real problem with the a-10 is that there isn't really anything in particular it does that is not done better or more conveniently by another aircraftNo, it's pretty much the perfect FAC, CSAR aircraft capable of loitering for far longer than any other plane and attacking targets on its to boot.
>>483772542>>483772951Is this what happens when you play too much ace combat?
The Goodyear blimp is actually a very good air-to-ground platform, it just needs an environment where the opposing forces have literally zero ranged weaponry for it to really dominate
>483766615DCS retards get so mad when you shit on the A-10 lol
Did /simg/ die again? Is that why there are so many DCS roaches running around in here again?
>Blatant attempt at starting thread warsActual /simg/ are more than welcome here.
>>483778649Yeah, I don't really care one way or another. It's fun to talk about planes.
>>483778918Not that you would know since /aceg/ doesn't talk about planes but good try.
>>483779046Okay well it was nice of you to stop by, anyway. Tell Jan and the kids I said hi.
>>483777783>Is that why there are so many DCS roaches running around in here againHow do you spot one? They know about planes?
Plens?
>>483780408
>>483766615It also has the highest air to ground friendly fire rate.
>>483786462what's that on the right? Gripen from a funny angle?
>>483791498Rockwell-MBB X-31, a joint kraut-burger project designed to research the benefits of extreme AoA maneuvers and thrust vectoring. Kicked the shit out of everything thrown against it in mock dogfights. Could be thrown into AC like the X-29, weapon pylons would be pretty awkward though.
>>483793108Didn't recognize it from the front without the paddles! Why would the pylons be awkward?
>>483793368Here's how low it sits on the ground, a Sidewinder or something mounted underneath would just about be touching the ground. Could maybe finagle some wingtip rails, but any potential Sp.W mounted on the underside would need some real creativity.
>>483793854Just kinda glue them on with very short pylons, or give it special SpWs like Morgan's top-mounted TLS
>>483794394I can dig it, if PA can make it work on the X-29, they can make it work on the X-31 if they tried, it'll just need some work to not look super weird. Hell, wouldn't actually be the first game to do it. I was thinking something like pulse laser myself, the more sci-fi stuff like that would gel with the X-31 being an experimental craft retrofitted for combat. Would also make it absolute murder in close combat with the high AoA fanciness.
>>483794969Is that the dreaded aerial jousting lance?
>>483797748Fancy pitot tube more likely, not uncommon on research aircraft, but if you want to stab a motherfucker midair with it instead, I'm not gonna stop you.
>>483797935It's the only way to get a certain kill, stab the pilot/AI core. Missile guidance can be fooled, bullets can be dodged, but a heroic thrust into the cockpit is guaranteed. Don't forget the silver tip for effectiveness against stealth demons
>>483793108>>483793854Bri'ish solved this decades ago.
>>483800773you now need a crane to mount these and any mishaps with it will destroy your wing, you also can only mount missiles that mill fly off the rail with the motor on, can't mount any "dropped" ordnance, and I don't even want to know what happens when firing these at weird AoAs
I HAVE SO FAR TO GO
>>483804000AND ONLY [the Chinese "China Aerodynamics Research and Development Centre"] KNOWSApologies if this was already posted in an earlier thread. >And what happens during the flight is nothing short of extraordinary: a segment of each of the wings detaches from the fighter, metamorphosing into two “flying wing” drones propelled by electric ducted fans.
>>483804000His only AA kill is a weather balloon, point at him and laugh
>>483806686What in the goddamn. So Macross predicts the future yet again
>>483768226What's the 'wrong' and what's 'right' decision is pretty tough in a lot of cases. It's to bark about stuff from the sidelines but if someone makes a decision about a new fighter program etc, that decision carries weight decades forward. Like suppose they cancel the NGAD and stick to modernizing existing planes. This means that the Air Force etc are going to be missing out on that capability that it would bring and less jobs brought to Locksneed's Chuckworks and supporting industries etc. On the other hand it could also be an extremely expensive embarrassing mistake like the Littoral Combat Ship. But there's no way of really knowing what's going to be the better choice, and whatever you choice you make people will be claiming the path nit takes was better because that path exists in imaginationland where everything is possible.
>>483766615>But, hey who cares about facts and aviation history in /aceg/You forgot to mention that the moment two A-10s got shot down in one day in desert storm they changed their tactics by moving them up in altitude, where they couldn't be hit by shitbox AA, and from where they couldn't do shit because no sensors?
>>483809284If we're being completely honest, the USA could pause all ther MIC dev projects for 5 years and still be ahead of everyone save for maaybe China, and 90% of Chia's tech comes from copying USA anyways
>>483806686This sounds overcomplicated and like a bitch to maintain
>>483810912Well, yes and no>OvercomplicatedYeah, especially if the drones act as control surfaces while docked. Why not just csrry them in pylons?>Bitch to mantainNot really. It's no different than loading new missiles after every sortieI don't see how this differs from firing cruise missiles? Do the smol drones carry sensors? They look to small to carry their own missiles, and if they're kamikaze drones then this is just missiles with extra steps
Whoosh
The party's goin' onThank God it's Phriday
>>483811590>Why not just csrry them in pylons?I guess they're trying to reduce RCS without carrying them internally.
>>483831356Ring a ding ding ding dong
>>483845461Are missile color codes an international standard or just an USA or NATO thing?
>>483806686seems overly complicated and/or will end up as vaporwarebut it would be cool as fuck tho
You motherfuckers better be there for the shootout tomorrow, I'm having fun and I'm getting back to the skill level I had back in the day.
>>483899119Oh you bet. The shootouts are one of the week's highlights for me.

>>483898593>FEED ME CHINAMEN
>>483864916What are they trying to achieve here?
Hello buddies. Still alive but getting my ass kicked by end of financial year stuff. Took some time to investigate how to make better looking water and ended up sliding a blue colored piece of paper underneath the transparent water. Kinda pissed off at how easy it was to make it look much better but at least it's workingish now, the ships are still kind of transparent but maybe I'll just chop the bottoms off their models? Food for thought. I'm kind of closing in on what I want to ship with the next patch, just need to get some of this work off my chest and I'll be good.
>>483943756taking a nice picture
>>483810440No, we mentioned that the only aircraft to make it base in desert storm were A-10s, and that multiroles were shot down in droves
>what are you doing?! the war's ended long ago!>the table is surrounded by politicians who have never placed foot on the battlefield>it's a necessary discussion to build a peaceful world>it's a disgusting squabble on who gets the largest share of the pie and that's why it needs to end
>14 multiroles (5 of which were Harriers and 3 F-16s)>2 Forward air controller Broncos>3 A-6 intruders >1 AC-130>1 F-111>4 A-10sWere shot in Desert StormMultiroles, we got too cocky!
I FIND PLANES FUCKING COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

>>483971834Tonight's the Saturday Shootout, buddy. Why not join in on the fun and kick some ass with us?
>Assault Horizon still allows for co-op multiplayer...how?
>>483982283Through LAN on xbox?
>>483982283It's peer-to-peer connection through steamworks afaik.
Two hours to the Shootout, buddies.
>>483976136Will do of course.
Pre-flight checks all complete Munitions loading. See you in the sky, buddies.
Thirty minutes to takeoff, buddies. Can't wait to see you all tonight.>>483995112Hell yeah.
Okay, buddies, the Shootout is on and the room is open! Hop on, follow the rules, and come have some fun.
>both new and returning buddies in the lobbyOh hell yes.Room is currently full, will report if a slot opens up.
>basically full room of buddies>everyone is such a fucking joy to fightBrings a tear to my eye.Ready for some tunnel runs, buddies?
>forgot to bring bombs
I COULD SEE IT HAPPENING FROM THE RESPAWN SCREEN
Join up buddies
Grabbing dinner real quick. buddies, and I'll be back. Keep on fighting!
Gonna go grab a bite too.See you in 30-ish minutes, buddies.
I joined in one of these months ago and now I just feel nervous at joining in.
>>484004801>>484005023>mediterranean dinner times
>>484005613Just look at some good builds in the guide, buddy. For your first time, it might be better to try and shoot someone as he's busy, but don't be afraid to dive in and really fight.
>>484005613Not everyone's in it to win it, it's fine to join
Hey there, buddies! /aceg/'s round of 16 match in /vg/ League 22 is coming up in around 30 minutes. We ended up drawing /gbpen/ - Girls Band Party general as our opponent. Here's to hoping we can keep up the momentum from the previous matches. https://cytube.implying.fun/c/vgleague
>>484005613There are open slots, come join us
>>484005613Don't sweat it. Most of my early battles were humiliation rituals but the buddies were always encouraging! Might be worth it to unlock at least one plane with all tier 2 parts though. Goal is to have fun!
Aaaaaaaaaaand I'm back.
Back for more action after inhaling a whole fucking rotisserie chicken, is there room in the lobby?
Seems the lobby is full or I can't find it.
>>484008757lobby is full atm
>>484008757Keep refreshing periodically and slots usually open.
should I kick someone?
>>484009229Why?
>>484009229If there's a buddy who wants a turn I can hop out after the next round or two.
>>484006345Match starting now!
>>484009289>>484009376I thought we were missing /aceg/ F
>>484009941He's gone to shower
>>484009229In general I'd avoid kicking anyone unless 1. Someone is clearly cheating.2. A buddy has been trying to get in and the room is full of randos.
Trying to build an aceg-themed yugioh deck, effectiveness is pretty mixed so far but I've at least won once with it.
Inguess I inherited a second room now. Going to close it enabke special weapons after a match.
>>484012704wait until they finally add Drones
Second room with the right settings is up now.
F-15E buddy please don't be embarassed about that, it was daunting for everyone to try and do tunnel runs. The current lobby is full, and you unfortunately couldn't join in the moment.
>>484013721I'm not. I was laughing the whole time.
/aceg/ L. in the Mirage, you are much, much better than you think./aceg/ A, you're the host, can you enable hotjoin?
How's the game on MKB? Only thing holding me back from reinstalling is that my controller broke
>>484014090Surprisingly flyable, I even find it better for using direct fire weapons like PLSL.
>>484014090I'm the Typhoon guy and I'm doing alright with it.
Is there any way to crash directly into another plane and only 1 plane dies without cheating?
Thanks for the games buddies! Awesome to see more people join up!
>>484013896Yo, the current lobby has a bunch of slots open if you want
>eliminated in R16 again
>>484015079Such is life. I'm not sure if the +1 from Dog-chan came in too late or QD just fucked it again, but that's how it goes.
>>484006345Unfortunately the offense was pretty sleepy most of the match, ending with a 1-2 loss. Sad to go out like that, but definitely an improvement over winning 0 games last League, at least.With making knockouts, /aceg/ gets to pick a player to send to /vg/'s team that'll be playing in the 4cc Summer cup. https://strawpoll.com/ajnE1NkVNnW
>>484015562I mentioned the +1 at the start of the 2nd half, I think he just missed it for a bit cause I included it in the same sentence with a couple other changes, so I don't hold it against him much. My internet shitting the bed for most of today wasn't helping either, stream kept buffering on and off.
>>484014974...firing whatever you've got as the two planes are colliding with each other?
>>484017196As far as I could tell from my screen I crashed directly into the same opponent twice and both times only I died.
>>484018976He likely fired at point-blank range, which is much easier to do if you know the pylon from which the missile is going to drop. What did the death screen say?
>>484019361I don't remember.
Buddies, those were some of the most fun matches I've ever had. Thank you all for coming, and I hope to see you all next week, because you're all amazing!
A tweaked version of my PLSL F-15C build, meant for the J w/HCAA. Keep in mind I haven't tested it yet.>Acceleration lv2>Airbrakes lv2>ECU lv2>Pitch lv3>SupMan lv2>SPW Damage lv2>SPW Speed lv2>SPW Homing lv2I noticed that I struggled to pull High-Gs with my C build, and since this build is an Eagle build for dogfights, I swapped Max Speed and Acceleration for ECU. This change should make this F-15J a much better dogfighter while still retaining some of the hit-and-run capabilities of my F-15C.
>>484026272what's the shootout etiquette? no EML and QUAAMS?
>>484026738No EMLs, QAAMs or SASMs.SASMs are the least harmful of the trio, but the fragmentation is both annoying and a very cheesy way of farming points.
>>484027096what about the broken DLC plens like Darkstar etc?
>>484027240The Darkstar is the only DLC plane that's outright broken. Even then, you can ward it away with HVAA, LAAM, PLSL or TLS.Besides, you're not going to see them because Shootout rooms are limited to 2500 Cost, and all of them are above that limit.
>>484027678nice
>>484023208Most definitely was a fun time. Glad to see a lot of buddies up in the sky. >>484026272Making some mental notes about that build here..

I have a random question for /aceg/in the PS2 games, how accurate were the replays that played after missions? And if they were accurate, how on earth did a PS2 store those replays in memory? Is there any info on that?
>>484040301>>484039713Oh my lord oh my gosh..>>484023208The animation of planes in TDM formation and the zooming into the sky is so good and the dev team knew exactly what they were doing.
>>484065250I thought B2 was bigger
>>484066884no, you just thought the f15 was smaller
>>484067021Isn't she standard twin engine jet size, meaning 20-ish meters long?
>>484067145i mean so is the B2knowing the numbers doesn't hit quite the same as actually seeing them next to a person
>>484067293Just figured B2 would be way bigger since she is a strategic bomber and all. Needs big butt to carry big bombs y'know?
>>484066884you just underestimate how big the strike eagle is
>>484067602I expected her to be closer to the C130 in size, maybe bigger
If B2 is meant to be a stealth bomber the radar signature would get more noticeable if it was large. Besideswhich feels like it's purpose is to carry nukes to begin with so it doesn't have to carry a massive arsenal of conventional loads.
>>484068507Isn't she meant to also carry conventional bombs? Otherwise just strap nukes to a Raptor or two for a fraction of the cost
>>483943950Post processing hurts my eyes. Yes, I would like to have jaggies "NOT MUH HECKING SHIMMERING!!" as an option. I grew up on N64 and Sega Genesis, I'll live.
>>484069759yes but her strategic purpose is to be part of the nuclear triad
>>484068507>>484069759The B-2 is talked to have a RCS about at or lower level than the F-22
>that flight sim thread on /vr/Going a bit overboard, don't you think fellas?
>>484072516I don't go there, t'is a silly place
>>484067443so if payload equates to butt size, what physical characteristics do other aircraft specs map to?
>>484074738>Powerful engines/fit/ girls, abs>Delta wingsSmall chest>Stealth, Internal baysHoodies/trench coats that hide the goods >EW aircraft, radar dishesglasses, likely geeky>CFTsLots of accessories like jewelry>Multirolebi>4th gen or older30+ y/o>Carrier basedTanned, avid swimmer>Cargo planepudgy, big eater>Non-retractable fuel probeShe's bigger than you, and I don't mean height
>>484075308>enginesWouldn't that be legs/thighs>fuel probesWhat did Rafale ever do to you
>>484076630>EnginesThat's where the plen's power comes from, Eagle chan can bench-press herself and accelerate vertically, Flanker-chan is a gymnast that can do flips through the air, Blackbird-chan is an unmatched runner. All of this naturally leads to thick, muscular thighs. >Fuel probesNothing against it, plus the French are more accepting of these things
>>484075308where do fuel tanks fit in?
>>484075308>4th gen or older>30+ y/oF-22 is already approaching 30. 4th gens are 45+
>>484078051plen years work differently, kinda like dog years>>484077978CFTS are jewelry like I mentioned, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. Block 3 Hornets are Hornet-chan with all her bling
>>484072516I just looked at the thread because I don't use /vr/. You're the idiot accusing everyone who plays games of being from this general and now you're impersonating Flankeranon since no one there agreed with you.
Nyoom
>>484077012are you the futa tanker guy
"#エースコンバット は本日29周年を迎えました。皆様のご支援、そしてシリーズを支えてくれた名機達に感謝いたします!Today is the 29th anniversary of #ACECOMBAT. We extend our gratitude to all our supporters and to the legendary aircraft that have supported the series![kanno]"
>>484079842...we have a futa tanker guy?
Super horny
Hornets can huff Cordium too!
>notices droptank
>>484081049They picked an F-4, F-15 and A-10 to get the number 29When they could've used a MiG-29
>>484082107the sexiest twin engines to exist and I SHANT be told otherwise.
>>484084529yeah but 3 plens is better than one
>>484081049If a remaster of the series is ever going to happen we'd probably see it next year when the 30th anniversary rolls around.
>China accidentally a rocketOn second thought, maybe the MIC doesn't waste all that much money in comparison
>>484106019Yo what? Did one blow on the launchpad?
>>484106156even better, they accidentally launched it during an engine test so it flew off, didn't have a self destruct so it nearly crashed on top of the neighboring village
>>484106363You'd think they would've learned after the mess they've made in the 90s.
>>484107770
omega 11, engage
>>484133551Bet Avril would be mad seeing that deface
>>484081110we have a futa tanker guy.
>>484106019>>484106363Well shit, I hope no one got injured.
>>484054660Looks like it, further along are little boxes which I'm going to assume are the cannisters that hold them? One of them is empty while the rest are still a plenty.
>>483675214<< UH ALL THE>Erusians>Belkans>EstovakiansOR TARGET PRACTICE AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM, GET OUT OF THE SKY BECAUSE ITS FOR REAL ACES ONLY, COPY? CAUSE IF YOU DON'T I WILL MAKE YOU ALL><< GALM 1 SHOT DOWN A BANDIT >>AGAIN!!! >>
>>484162726
>>484199865remember what we said about fuel probes?
>>484200264It would have to be a long tongue, because it's an intake. It's like a hummingbird tongue that juts out like a straw.
A-10 should be the real futa plane
hm
>>484014974I don't think players have collision detection against each other.>>484026272What's the main benefit of ECU for the Eagle? I haven't noticed issues with high G turns, but I haven't played in a while. >>484027678Yeah, 2500 is the sweet spot of multiple strong builds while locking out most of the meta bullshit you normally see in Unlimited.
>>484206324Is this a bamboozle? A little ol' leg pull?
>>484204023That opens up some interesting implications with the tankers bekng the futss thenHow did we get here?
I kinda want HAARP weather control superweapon in the next game
>>483951106>>484071060Thanks buddies. You can turn off bloom and CA in the options menu but all of the visual stuff is placeholder at the moment, I'll spend some time working on it in the future, but not at the moment.Plugging away at the multi-op mission, it's a bit of a struggle balancing everything but I'll make it work somehow. Once this is done, I'll work on a tutorial mission and push the patch i guess
>>484228254What's that?
>>484239459HAARP was a US research facility built in Alaska back in the 90s for studying the ionosphere, but it was also a source of numerous conspiracy theories about how it's used by the military as a superweapon in the form of weather control; supposedly triggering events such as EMP strikes, hurricanes to earthquakes.
>>484240430Is is a superweapon, though in a defensive way.And of course, what it actually does has nothing to do with all that crap tinfoil hatters spread. That’s the point with that sort of stuff - nobody (or at least, too little to matter) will treat the whole thing seriously.
>>484240430>>484245306If we're going full tinfoil hat superweapons, I want high-altitude bombers spraying bioweapon chemtrails or sunlight-blocking clouds like The Matrix, microwave guns creating death zones that cook pilots inside their planes, laser disco ball AA systems, kamikaze bird drone flocks, a secret moonbase with a mass driver big enough to hit anywhere on earth, and of course, free 3D movement "UFO" craft that instantly reverse heading, and don't show up in any sensors
>>484245853For me, it's the stink bomb.>Bioweapon produced from body odor>Produced aerosol toxin that can reach high enough that fighter jets couldn't fly over the operatives>Instantenous death upon exposure>Penetrate every NBC protective suit short of suits made for astronauts>Scramble electronics https://youtu.be/zqs2fDHtyHI?si=JGO3osDAk-EyVuPv&t=108
>>484247958>Incredibly high quality animation>Incredible detail in the military machines>Incredibly crowded scale shots>Incredibly hype jazz>(Seemingly) incredibly silly plotWhat the fuck is this? How the fuck is this?

airforce delta strike sucks so much it's kinda sick
>>484267507I've long held the opinion that it has far more to gain from a remake than any of the PS2 AC games. Too bad Konami is mostly useless these days.
>>484269352That's true, but a big part of the game is Jun's illustrations, and that's pretty unlikely to get remade unfortunately.
>support ground element>they thank you directly or indirectlyFeels good, especially when it's ''optional'' and you have to work for it. That's why my most replayed missions are very responsive / have reactions from allied units.
>>484281797If you enjoy that then you would've loved the mechanic in Infinity where you could thank someone for destroying an enemy who had a missile lock on you.
>>484269352Just played that mission, honestly the most fun thing in the game so far
Does anyone have that one reaction image of the pilot holding an anime magazine?
