Phank God It's Phriday
Shilling again the HQ OST for acxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tzyYwSI0BA&list=PLALg2FFBNq0mCwrsA0p5i5alaU2VFeCWC&index=1
what be up with the erasure of ikaros nagase... fucked up what they do to her
>>497144250I'm not a fan of most of ACX's OST but there are some that I can't get out of my head even 14 years later
maneuverability parts in mp are overrated. i will not accept any criticism or backtalk
I HAVE SO FAR TO GO
I might have been wrong about it but surely they'll release it on December 1st, mark your calendars boys.
Is there a comprehensive summary of AC3's plot anywhere?I understand the big picture, but a lot of the little details are unclear to me. Especially around the relationship between Rena and Dision, or how Nemo can access memories (via ENSI? or was Rena sublimated in that story branch?), etc.
>>497165191https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPn8u2J_NjUiirc this one explained the lore decently, no guarantees though> Nemo can access memoriesuuh for stuff this specific maybe only the wiki could work
I'm a total plane game newfag (I played Crimson Skies as a kid 15 years ago and that's it, then some planes in Battlefield/Battlefront) and just got AC7. I found expert controls to be more fun but they also gave me a headache after a while due to not having the muscle memory of not moving the left-right stick all the time, which means I was constantly doing barrel rolls. Especially after using noob controls during my 1st playthrough. So I used steam input to rebind the controls:>left stick up-down is normal (pitch) but left-right is now yaw>bumpers (previously yaw) are now for rolling>left stick press enables autopilot and realigns the plane if I fuck upNow I don't get a headache anymore since I don't roll on accident. Anyone else likes rebinding controls?
>>497172158The only thing I rebind when needed is making sure that brakes and acceleration go on the triggers.
>>497172158I mean, whatever works for you, but in general you don't really use yaw, while rolling is one of the three most important controls.
>want mods>don't want to bother with nexusgay
>>497179107Surely there's a better way
>>497179107Moddb?
>>497179107whats wrong with nexus?
>>497180540less than 10% of the mods on nexus are on moddb
>>497181360What else is there?
Why did Getty Images label this picture this way?
>>497187115I dunno, but I should point out that's a C-17, not a C-5. Globemaster's a fat boy, but not the fattest in town.
What if Studio Ghibli wrote and animated an Ace Combat spinoff movie?
>>497187720Never got the appeal of those movies but surely they must have something truly special if I can walk into my 50 years old mother's room and find her watching one.
My Yukikaze Master File book is arriving soon...
>>497181274You have to have an account to download anything.
>>497194954DO NOT hotglue it before posting scans
>>497181274Awful mod manager mainly
>>497196582Takes literally 2 minutes to make an account
RKT is pretty good in naval missions in AC7. Deals huge damage and reloads quickly, and is also just fun to use. People went too harsh on it.
>>497199480rktls would be a lot better if you could single fire rockets instead of being locked into a multi shot salvosame for the precision guided rocket pods, they're useless because you can only lock onto a single target per salvo
>>497205038Those Iranian F4s are looking good
They really need to add the F-100 to their games
>>497215287We really need an early-mid Cold War period game, it’d be an interesting inversion to have stuff like the F4 at the top of the tech tree
>>497187720Top-tier plane art and action but the writing makes AC5 look downright militant.
>>497216378wars actually do suck and arent good
>>497126614It's over.
>>497181274The jannies for the site have gotten pretty gay recently. That's no problem if the game you're interested in mods from them is old, but can be cancer if the game is new.
I won't be able to take part in the Shootout this week hospitalised, but I'm fine don't worry, so I'm kind of asking a favour: how about sharing some footage? Either fun fights, stupid shit, whatever you feel is memorable.
>>497229501Get well soon buddy.
>>497222647cursed
Were the Geopelias in the GR ending of Ace Combat 3 just Simon having a laugh / testing Nemo? I used to assume they were a Neucom or Ouroboros contingency plan that the simulation accurately predicted/portrayed, but the idea that it's just Simon throwing 8 superfighters at you to see how you respond maybe also because he's mad you picked GR, given how happy he seems if you go with the Neucom > Ouroboros ending is growing on me.
Finally got off my ass and made a basic custom livery for my planefu, thank god this game is easy to mod.>>497231715It probably is him messing with the simulation and adding extra Geopelias.
>>497179107nexus is fine as long as it isn't culture war related
>>497125927Revive
>>497158732Mobius 1, engage.
>>497231715Always thought it was the former, he's just cranking it up to max to see what happens

>>497256818Nah sonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RULJiNPN-Cg
Why has Project Wingman still had NO new planes added 4 years after release? We need a high level two seater for Prez.Su-30 and F-18F at least.
Hey there, buddies! /aceg/'s last match of /vg/ League Friendlies is today, around 4:20 PM EST/1:20 PM PST, where we'll be facing /snowg/ - Snowbreak general. https://cytube.implying.fun/c/vgleague
I just got the part that makes the machine gun aim at enemies (AC7) and it's a game changer, dogfighting is way more fun now
>>497270379You know missiles are your main weapons, right?
>>497270668Yes the point is that the aim part turns the machine gun into another main weapon instead of a very situational tool
Are we doing the sorties this week, buddies?
>>497273526I'm down.
>>497274539See you in about 10 mins from now. Who's going to host by the way?
>>497274750Nevermind found the room. Let's do this!
I got wrecked so hard the server decided to get out from the match and now I can't find the room anymore. What about you guys?
>>497277687we might have issues with the host, so i'll rehost a room later.
>>497277839Understood. Standing by...
>>497278019it's up. let's have fun!
Gee Bill, two rooms?
I'm getting strange framedrops, really annoying
good games lads. fun as always.
>>497263174Matchday went a bit fast, so the match is starting now
>network error'dWhat a fitting way too end the session. Nice flying, buddies.
>>497263174Missed it, who won?
>>497285642Perhaps the server could perform better next week. It was short but good times as always!
Rusty
Hope buddies had fun, schedule was cursed here but next saturday I hope to join in again.
Man I wish the long score attack missions had checkpoints. I'd even trade in half or more of my points if it meant I didn't find myself losing everything because i clipped the top of a frigate or got too acclimatized to missile warnings like a dumbass in the last 30 seconds.
>>497306052I personally liked the score attack missions like M06 and M11 precisely because they did not have a checkpoint followed then by some unfun scripted bull. You have objective and conditions and from there on you're free to execute within those parameters.
>>497306826Oh, I don't want anything scripted added. Mission 8 is like that - part 1 is a total blast is and part 2 drags by comparison. I'd just throw in some kind of partial-credit system if you screw up - maybe checkpoints around each base/area if you destroy 100% of their targets, plus a score penalty for using them. Just some token reward - which is a similar effect to how using checkpoints in a regular mission will usually destroy your S rank.
Can my american buddy's call their congressman or something and get the air force to paint their planes with actual camos again? Thanks I knew I could count on you
So I played AC7 obsessively this week (35 hours) and I really liked it. I finished the campaign on Hard today, will try Ace next.What other AC game do you recommend? I want to try Belkan War because of the cool OST.
Anyone got any cool ROCAF pics?
>>497316945Did the same when I first got it, just emulate 4/5/0 and enjoy it.I've wanted to play 6 but it seems you'd have to own an xbone or xbox 360 first before bothering
>>497316945all of them except 104, 5, and 0 are obvious picks but 2, X, and 3 JP are also really good6 is great if you like musou games
>>497316945All of the ones that have numbers on them.
>>497319467>>497319998Should I play 4 5 0 in that order or are also enjoyable as standalone experiences like AC7?
Mantis get. This dude was annoying not because the requirements are hard, but because there's so much other shit going on in the mission that you need to pay attention to and because the game decided to fucking lock up on me right after shooting him down along with the bombers so I got to do it all over again.
>>497314176air superiority grey is an "actual camo"
>>497325149No
>>4973225675 and 0 are loosely connected, but you can play them in any order
>>497325541its a paint job formulated specifically to make aircraft harder to spot.
>>497326119My eyes can discern how ugly it is up to 9km away
I don't like bombers
>>497287494/snowg/ ended up winning 3-1, with 2 goals in the last 5 minutes or so after it was tied 1-1 for a while. I'll look into seeing if I can hopefully improve the offense some more for the /vg/ League proper, which'll be happening some time around late November.
>>497261070There are mods for both of those aircraft, but most of those were made for 1.4, and I'm not sure if the mod authors came back after the 1.5 beta update.
I like my NATO planes in air superiority gray or desert colors and my Warsaw Pact planes in forest / sea camo colors.
>>497338374Wouldn't it ingest at least some firing gases?
>>497324708>not because the requirements are hardThe requirements are esoteric af sometimes. Would be nice if beating missions on better ranks would unlock more ''intel'' giving hints on what you need to do etc. Or unlock an intel file so you don't ''have to'' but you can. And / or make it so that replaying and beating different sub objectives unlocks boni like the aforementioned, and also concept arts etc.
The future is chrome stealth fighters
>>497356429Not my jam. Air superiority gray da best.
<</vg/ thread /aceg/: sunk!>>
>>497356429Or whatever the hell this is
>>497383304>Lightning-chan, you can't show that erotic belly here; this is a blue board.
>>497356429RETVRN
You're laughing...You're standing on my crisp white sheets with your dirty boots and you're laughing?
>>497383304Don't know why the F-35's underbody looks so lewd compared to other plens
>>497401947It looks like a loose pussy and asshole
I wonder what Erusea's actual war-aims were in AC4 and AC7.Did they intend to conquer all of Usea in 4, or just force a peace treaty on ISAF where presumably Erusea'd keep San Salvacion and Stonehenge? Similarly in 7: Conquer Usea, or just hold the space elevator and then truce, probably with a deal that Osean forces leave the continent?(Not that it'd be unrealistic for Erusea itself to be confused and to adapt their aims upwards after initial successes, then get confused when falling back. Especially in 4, since ISAF technically declared war on them for grabbing San Salvacion...)
6 plays the best. Throw in some Zero stuff and you have the perfect foundation.
>>497405526In AC4, they were in need to find a solution to refugee crisis after asteroid impact. So mostly territory and resource gains, especially after most of Usean countries said them to fuck off during crisis.
I didn't get why everyone liked the PSLS in AC7 until I got the larger hitzone part, this is some Star Wars shit, very fun
>>497425064Grabbed a Raven for a mission the other day and pew-pew-pewing people out of the sky is pretty funny.I also recommend playing Fleet Destruction with the EML lolcannon at least once.
>>497425954Oh yeah I've played fleet destruction to death, great mission. Wish the EML penetetrated all the cores at once though, imagine how satisfying it would be to line up the mega shot
Asking for a friend, what would you guys do if you were friends with a child named James Milsop in rural Iowa, and he kept trying to get you to play this cool retro game called Ace Combat 6?
>>497429985There'd have to be a special voice line for sending the whole platform down in one go. It'd be so broken, but so fun.
Decay.
>>497439005This is how Harriers normally look
>>497439125We wouldn't have to deal with such a sorry sight if dumbass americans had chosen to build the Convair Model 200
>>497401947This is why
Get fucked, Torres.I still struggle with superweapon battles.
>>497453347I really dislike the rank scoring of this mission, it encourages you to go for the ballast tanks and ignore a good boss fight.
>>497453571I tried a lot of different things, aiming for the SAMs and CIWS first, blowing up the railguns, targeting the VLS once that came out, but I always ended up dragging it out for too long and making a mistake that either resulted in me hitting the water or getting instakilled by a missile barrage/railgun volley.Going for the ballast tanks quickly sorta bit me in the ass in the final phase though, the CIWS was still active so most of my shots at the core wouldn't go through until I'd disabled those.
More janky planes
dreamed of playing Ace Combat Zero but functionally it was AC7it had parts (with levels 1-2, and 3 for specific maneuvrabiliy ones), multiplayer and an Su-30, but it looked and played like ACZ
Fleet destruction is very likely my favorite mission.
>>497453571TMRP is an oddity because it's one of the few missions in 7 where time and score both really matter. In most other missions you can focus on one or the other and still pull off S rank easily.
>>497495789Time seems to matter a lot more than score because I can do the bare minimum to complete the mission and get an S rank as long as I focus on the objectives but if I try to fight I'll get a B. Doesn't really matter but it feels odd that the game is calling me a dumbass for actually engaging with it.
5 would've been a better game if they had added a stealth section where you walk around in first person before Final Option.
>>497524607Loyal wingman developed, instantly tries to defect
imagine friendly firing your own drone
>>497532005>He didn't played AC7
>>497532005Better than the alternative
Whats the most scifi Ace Combat game or AC-like (so a game with planes but none of that boring simulation shit)? I only played AC7 and I loved using the mecha-looking Raven and Falken.
>>497552630AC3. It's a PS1 game. Make sure to get the fan-translated JP version.Or play Star Fox
>>497552749Isn't Ace Combat 3 the worst according to his second parameters? Missiles have proportional guidance and planes drift instead of instantly shifting all their momentum in another direction.
>>497553097It's stil nowhere near simulation-grade. I assume by that he menas DCS or flight Sim
I have no idea how to beat Mihaly on Ace without SASM. Normal missiles dont hit even when he flies in a straight line...
>>497554914QAAMswaiting for his script to execute the "fly in a straight line for 30 seconds" movemore QAAMs
>>497554914HVAA can still catch him when he does that. Or give him a taste of his own medicine and give his plane some cosmetic EML perforations.
>>497513286USAF to the A-10: You should kill yourself right now! Seriously though,what's leaving first? The A-10C or the F-15C?
>>497560269A-10C, easy
>>497472834So 7 with an S-tier story?
>>497405526I feel like 7 was originally meant to have Trigger defect to Erusea. It'd probably have made more sense if we saw the war from their POV.
>>497411949Preach it brother!
>>497560943I've always figured they planned on having a branching mission structure where you could either end up fighting for the Eruseans or the Oseans, a lot of the early trailers seemed to emphasize that aspect.
>>497560567I dunno man, the F-15C fleet feels like it's been held together with hopes and prayers post-2020 considering how many airframes got taken apart to sustain the ANG wings because they literally got flown to hell and back!
>>497561312I would've happily settled for a Spare campaign. It feels like the comms blackout section of the story was made with them in mind.
>>497561428Doubt the A-10s are holding up much better for spares.
>>497560943No way in hell this was the case. WE get the Belkan POV in Zero, doesn't mean Cipher was going to defect. And Eruseans are shown to be disgusting war criminals over and over, why would you ever defect?
>>497561883Nobody is topping Cipher for war crimes. Besides Pixy did the defection thing for us.
>>497561883if i recall, the first thing osea did after erusea attacked was level half of farbanti in a poorly executed bombing strike, killing hundreds of civilians
>>497562552Farbanti was already a crater to begin with. And they were completely justified given the unprovoked attack with no prior declaration of war they just suffered
>>497562883I hate that we never got the Zeroesque story the opening cutscenes were implying.
>join some public lobbies>no less than 3 QAAM-spamming Raptors>still manage to top scoreboard with a MSL-only F-35>2 Raptors bail right before the end screenLol, lmao even.
Needs coop and pve stuff that can be played on your own. The games release too far apart for the super scripted PS2 tier missions to hold you over, and pvp is crap.
>>497571458PVE content would be awesome, imagine teaming up with a few buddies for something like AC7's DLC missions.
I wonder why I feel nice and relaxed while playing some of the games but not others. Playing Ace Combat 4,5 and 7 makes me feel like I'm sitting with a friend to have a talk while playing Zero or Project Wingman feels like having an elevator conversation with someone I barely know and who doesn't like the way I dress.It isn't even consistent with time spent with them as I've only played 4 and 5 a handful of times while it's been at least a dozen for Zero and probably 20+ for PW and AC 7. It also happens with other games series where I can feel welcome from the beginning while their other entries feel hostile no matter how much I play them with the same inconsistency.
>>497576497Why does it look all fucked up? Like, I'd suspect it was AI it it wasn't for the fact that it's too consistent to be such.
>>497589639It's a space/future jet.
>>497569848Fucking lmaoSchool these niggas, buddy
>>497590152No I mean like the model's all warped and shit.
>>497601561No its not that just the paint scheme and background playing tricks with your eyes
>>497604224This is what designing planes after snorting a small country's GDP worth of cocaine looks like in the 21th C
What was that one AC-like game that had like two dozen variants of the F-104? Vector something?
>>497657749Vector Thrust https://www.moddb.com/games/vector-thrust/news/report-022-starfighter
>>497575026Didn't Kono say that 7's code shat itself to death the moment they tried to do PVE?
>>497665324Can't delay something that isn't even announced. Won't be surprised however if PA is stuck in turbo development hell.
>>497677450They outsourced the MP to another company for a bare bones MP. They didn't even attempt it in the first place
How safe are plens in a hurricane?. Can they fly over the storm?
>>497680726Of course they can but they won't go near it the only people crazy enough to fly into a hurricane are the hurricane hunter planes.
Love fighter planes
What if an american plane and a russian plane had a dogfight over florida right now? And what if the russian plane had a not nuke on it?
Playing AC3 with this plane I just manage to do something I have never done before and most likely will never be able to do again. I had one plane locked on with another flying with it so I just emptied all 6 of the micro missiles onto that one plane. It took out that plane and had 4 just free flying now the other plane started to turn at the moment the other one died. The other plane made a turn at that momentYeah you guessed it the other mook turned right into my free flying missiles and killed itself without me having a lock on it.Very satisfying double kill that was
>>497688518rooting for them both to put florida out of its misery before the atlantic ocean does it for us
Heh I forgot it will force any plane you pick onto the R-531 belly.
>>497582292It's probably just the mood of the games. 4/5/7 tend to be more positive and just have nicer vibes to them, while 0/PW feels like the uncomfortable reality that war is.
>>497691136PW is a weird case. First part is a westernized take on the mercenary theme of Zero while part 2 fails to grasp the cynical cynicism that is the core identity of Zero's writing.
>>497699479Fucking hell, I am retarded! I meant to say clinical cynicism
>>497699479I just dont think PWs setting is capable of having a serious story when its all so obviously just various Gundam and Ace Combat cliches stapled together,
>>497699824Easy, just don't do waifufaggotry and commit to showing the savage brutality that life at war is.
>>497701091Despite PW having an in-game codex with lots of background written, I just cant be assed to remember any of it when its all so generic feeling.Strangereal has a lot of cliches, but in the end it still feels like a real place with a proper history behind each nation and corporation.
>>497582292I certainly don't feel relaxed playing PW. I like it and all but the lack of checkpoints and the death laser spam filtered my casual ass hard.
>>497703949To be fair check points didn't exist in AC games till 7.>lasersThe game has none of those were you getting filtered by railguns?
>>497703542Strangereal also has multiple games that flesh out the setting. PW only has, well, PW.Frontline 59 had some dialogue implying some real bad shit happened in Oceania, I could see a prequel set during that war being pretty interesting.
Heh,....I got stuck
This turned out to be a cool looking intro shot.Also remember to back up your save states and saves file on a regular basis. So when it happens you can just load them and resume play like nothing happened.
Still looks fat
Best plen
>>497704559Wrong, checkpoints were first featured in ACJA.
Say hi to the best Ace Combat character, buddies.
My Yukikaze artbook got delivered today. Highly worth it, lots of previously unseen settei work in it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSYl7kIatUU
<<Trigger where the fuck are you going?!>>
>>497722531<<LAAMs work best when you are far above your target>>
>>497677450>>497680089I know the only time someone tried to make a room with more than 8 players in it, it crashed PA's servers completely
Anyone know a widescreen fix so my screenshots dont look like ass?
>>497718527Excellent you know what you must do next
>>497718527I think I just saw your post on twitter
>>497749780Think this is the first time we've gotten lineart of Admiral 56. One of the cooler fictional aircraft carriers out there.
The detail in explaining what each flap and fowler and spoiler does is super neat.
>>497755469>>497757093Very nice keep going
i know carrier groups have a lot of missile defense, but like what if you shot a LOT of missiles at it
>>497763340Then they try to shoot your launchers before they can shoot their missilesSee F-14's reason for existing
>>497764328but like what if they don't
>>497764724
>>497765058damn
I'll get back on the /aceg/ gripen tomorrow, buddies, this should be relaxing enough.
>>497722531>first mission of AC7>get told to form up with Mage 1 as I've already zipped past him towards the TGTSurely after years they'd know better.
>>497722531Looks cool.
What happens to people who join the Air Force but don't get selected to be pilots? I doubt going through all that training only to be posted as door guard or logistics truck driver does wonders for morale
>>497778576Looking good
I wonder if they’ll come out with a 2 seater F-35 once loyal wingmen become widespread
>>497793465At the rate things are going we're going to see a 0-seater before that
>>497791875You're going to be talking about the military career options with your recruiter well before you're even shipped off to basic. And you need to be an officer in the air force already to be qualified fir the pilot training so...Or are you talking about people who wash out during the pilot training itself?
>>497797416Yeah, washouts mainly. That said, I don't really know how the whole system works, do they shove kids striaght out of HS into basic training with a defined role in mind? Do they decide later on based on some kind of aptitude test? How much say does the trainee get in all this?
>>497701091>>497699824Go full in on waifufaggotry and gundamshit while retaining a grounded approach to combat, aesthetics and planes and the 'military feel' [ie keep the anime bullshit of sadfeels equals I die now bs to a minimum] . Trying to do dry geopolitics shit in a made up country no one has any actual attachment to is a recipe for no emotional investment / attachment for the players.
>>497797856If you want to become a pilot you apply to a ROTC program from outside the military, hope you fulfill the qualifications, take tests etc and if you get in, you enroll into the program.You don't just HomerSimpson yourself into being a fighter pilot or indeed any pilot by signing on the dotted line and hoping for the best. That said if I lived in the U.S I would love to be AF Security Forces if I lived near an AfB. I did my own service in a comparable role in my own country [minus planes] but in the U.S I would've actually been paid and gotten all the veteran benefits too.
>>497798991Don't american vets get treated like shit?
>>497799413Can’t be as bad as Canada, where we’ve told veterans asking for stuff like wheelchair ramps to consider suicide.
I wish Ace Combat X got more love from Namco, in my eyes it's a full-fledged Ace Combat game like 3/4/5/0/6/7, but they seem to see it more as one of the weird also-rans like AH/JA/Infinity/Advance. I wish it got some pages in Aces at War.
>>497803389I miss how picking certain missions moved stuff around and either giving you extra wingmen/ground troops or lower ammo/extra enemies/jamming, it was so much fun trying missions with the negative modifiers or having an extra challenge when rushing the story.God I wish Skies of Incursion wasn't a iOS game; Gotta pray for PA to bring back atleast the Apalis or Fregata.
>>497803389I hope they'll release a remastered collection one day with the PS2 games and X, kinda like that one god of war collection
>>497798991>Does everything needed>Dream of being fighter pilot is in reach>They tell you your not cut out to be a fighter your a cargo pilot nowThat has to be the ultimate moral killing moment for aspiring pilots who dream of flying the skies in a 15 or 35 and end up flying a C-17 because they weren't cut out to fight in the skies.
>>497759042Fand 2 out-schmooving an F-16C
>>497811704Oh nice, is that where these are from?
>>497811867Nah, the one you posted is from an older artbook released by Ikuto Yamashita's doujinshi circle, Nawomotsukazenohonn (Blue and Purple).
>>497812362Got any diagrams of Yukikaze and the Flip knights?
>>497812362Yukikaze Designers Note is mostly a collection of drawings from Nawomotsukazenohonn, Fairy Air Force At War, and Yukikaze Mechanical Design Works, with the added benefit of some artwork that I've never seen online before.>>497812705Here's a Flip Knight laser gun.
>>497799413Kind of? They could be treated better and there are some flaws in the system but they're above what vets from most other countries and things like the GI Bill help you become useful after you come back and saying you were a vet makes it easier to get jobs with feds, people who work with feds and people who respect the military. The problems mostly present themselves with healthcare availability and that the program being generally mismanaged couple with most roles taking a toll on your body (again could be better but if you can afford your own or your future job provides you with one it isn't so bad) and the fact that it's kind of hard to be a civilian after war, even if you can get a job and haven't seen combat the lack of purpose and order fucks with some people.I'm not saying veterans aren't mistreated in some ways but most of the time it isn't particularly bad, sad stories get more attention and culturally people expect someone who spent 6 years of his life serving his country, who might have even fought and bled for it, to get more than mediocrity and apathy but compared to what most get the benefits of doing 6 years are damn good and you get them even if you haven't seen any action or taken a single step anywhere near a combat zone. Just don't get dishonorably discharged.
>>497813582That's sick. These ware based on JAM tech right? Reminds me of their spinny core thingies
>>497813794Nah, JAM "tech" isnt really a thing. You need to read the novels to find out though.Here's a lewd engine bay drawing.
>>497799413Depends on time / locality but you could've snagged some really good benefits and you can be as open or not open about it as you want. Spend a few years in the military and you've got already a bunch of gibs and a lot of businesses give preference to hiring vets especially if your MOS is compatible with what the company does. I'm very jealous and circumstances permitting I'd love to be in U.S Military haha. Would love SecFo but would honestly even take 88M.>>497808681There are probably a lot of indicators for what their career is going to be and while it is disappointing they'll probably intentionally want to weed out people who are only in it for the hero fantasy at least openly or people whose motivation would plummet immediately if they don't get to be a Top Gun ace. Regardless what you're flying in the military you're in for a lot of prestige and a very highly paying job. It's not quite like joining the navy to be a navy seal, washing out of BUDS and then being idk a cook or a light bulb changer technician or whatever. Funnily enough as much as I love the Ace Combat hero fantasy of flying jets I would rather be on the ground guarding them haha because my head would spin.
>>497813979>No JAM techWell now I'm intrigued>EngineLewd. That's after she gets the ramjet upgrade right?
>>497814373>Well now I'm intriguedHighly recommend reading and watching Yukikaze. Probably one of the best speculative mil scifi novel series I've read. Also yep, thats the special ramjet equipped engine.Adore how much detail every little aspect of these planes got, right down to how the shock diamonds and exhaust plume would look.
>>497814826I didn't know they could swing side to side. Interesting way of implementing 3DTV. Is there some lore explanation on how it avoids turning pilots into tomato sauce? Actually nevermind, I've just remembered that there was a whole thing about the newer planes coming back without pilots since the drones flew better than what the fleshbags could take
>>497814274> intentionally want to weed out people who are only in it for the hero fantasyFunny enough back in the 80's that is the sole reason Navy pilot recruitment went sky high then. Top Gun has just came out
>>497814826I'm liking all the detail in this book
>>497816119Well yes, and the DoD was involved with the film which actually lead to some mild plot changes iirc.Maybe I was full of shit in my assessment and they just happen to have very binding contracts that you WILL complete the whatever service period you sign.
>>497816705Drawing of the ventral louvers of the Fa-2 that open up at high angle of attack to let air travel into the intakes.
>>497822958Lil' sippy sips of air. Where are the main intakes? Does it have a similar mechanism on the top side?
>>497822958A lot of detail for mook units but then again they were all made as 3d models so it make sense to add in details that are scripted to do their thing even if the viewer doesn't notice it.

>>497919181I don't think you would have the Su-30 by 444
>>497919453If you went right into MP instead of the campaign then yeah you could get all the cash and unlock everything before you play mission 1
>>497524607Removes one S-70 from the list, Yes fuck that drone in indeed.
>>497524607>>497925681Context? Fid a drone fire on another drone? And why were they carrying live ammo?
I'm playing HAWX 2, ama
>>497928920Allegedly Russia lost control of one of like 2 flying S-70 “loyal wingman” stealth drones, and the SU-57 earned its first air to air kill downing it to avoid it getting in the hands of the Ukrainians.
>>497929410Lol. Lmao. Didn't know theh were already in service.
>>497928927Why?
>>497928920S-70 inside Ukraine controlled airspace being blow out of the sky. Konstantynivka area, Donetsk for the whereBy now whats left of the S-70 has been packed up and sent to the US to see what all we can learn from it and what data we can retrieve out of its flight recorders.Here is the image of half its body >>497929410The newest case of Russia would rather go we blew up our own stuff instead of admitting Ukraine did it. 57's haven't been anywhere near missile range this whole war I don't see that changing anytime either.
>>497930554Sheer curiosity, and I quite liked the first oneThis one though is not even close> muh afterburners on the harrier
>>497931663>afterburners on the harrierDoesn't surprise me, considering this is a "Tu-16"
>>497931814It's supposed to be a Tu-22M ingame
>>497931814there's a lot of funny shit desu, it's clearly a game made by people who don't know shit about planes (and also had only one year to develop a sequel)
>>497932431Wouldn't be the first time a plane game is made by people with little to no knowledge of planes.
>>497703542The lava whale part of w/e the fuck that was confirmed to me that the lore was written by memers whose only experience with war and history has been deep-fried twitter and reddit posts. As for AC, Zero is literally like 75% reason why AC has any lore to begin with,
>>497938728Thats a bit hyperbolic, almost every AC game expands a ton on the Strangereal world, Zero included.For me, the sticker that let me know PWs lore was just gonna be a bunch of half assed shit was when the main antagonist faction is a continent sized map blob called "The Federation". Thats the type of move reserved for AO3 smutfic.
>>497941210I took the angle in that Zero's lore is what made Strangereal feel like a lived-in place while also being the first chronologicaly.
>>497941798For me it was 4 that did that the lore was simple then but it really made the world come alive. 5 expanded on it greatly and Zero was the like expansion pack we all wanted them to make.
>>497938728>Zero is literally like 75% reason why AC has any lore to begin withnah, 5 set the foundation for basically all of strangereal outside UseaZero does a lot of personal stories but AWWNB is so unimportant that they don't exist beyond one character maybe being a callback in 7 and Belka were already proven to be shitheads that manipulate geopolitics in 5Everything before AWWNB is already explored territory since all of the major events of the Belkan War are covered in 53 and 04 also pretty important for the lore (3 has a codex you can read through between missions that tells you about world affairs and stuff) but it's taken until AC7 for Electrosphere to be referenced in a meaningful way since it's set so far forward, and your perspective in 04 is pretty narrow throughout the game, most of the cool 04 lore comes from side materials
>>497941798AC4's entire cutscene repertoire is on the ground, from the POV of a noncombatant.
4 established the meteors and gave most of the superweapons a plausible reason to exist
>>497942240one of my fave aspects of 7's background lore is all the little plot details that start connecting to 3, like how GR is starting to muscle into defence contractor work, the fall of Erusea leading to its component govt agencies getting parted out and sold off to Neucomm, etc

>>497957894I’ve heard claims they have 4 in total, but 2 of them are ground based prototypes and only 2 were operational and airworthy.

>>498021164it has a bad habit of catching on fire and due to being built in the sunset years of the soviet union, it lacks good quality control on any of it's partsit hasn't deployed since 2016it's uses mazut for fuel and belches black smoke everywherethe propulsion keeps breaking down so they have to escort the ship with tugboatsdue to the ski jump, fighters have restrictive weight limits on what ordinance and how much fuel they can sortie withthe only drydocks that can service it have either sunk (with it in port) or been hit by cruise missilesthe plumbing is so unreliable that water is turned off in most cabins and half of the toilets don't workallegedly it also runs it's reactor in port instead of connecting to the dock for power, but this is hearsay and i don't know if it's truethe thing won't die until 2030 at least because it's russia's only aircraft carrier, but it's also likely that it won't get the chance to sail again anyways because russia is bleeding money on a pointless war they have a miniscule chance of actually achieving any of their war goals on
>>498024362All that I know. How exactly Russia lied about it.>the only drydocks that can service it have either sunk (with it in port) or been hit by cruise missilesPD-50 sunk in 2018, and the rest is you making shit up, because after that Kuznetsov was moved to ship-fixing factory in Murmansk, to the only drydock which is capable of servicing such ship.
>>498025394>the heavy corruption associated with russian military logistics isn't a result of lies, actuallyoki'm not digging into my telegram chats because i'm too lazy so i'll just leave it thereadmittedly i was conflating two different incidents with the cruise missile thing though

Is it true that in the OG script Hugin and Munin were piloted by the brains of Mihaly's granddaughters which were harvested by the belkan dude, but then it was cut because it was too dark? It would definitely tie a lot of missing ends and weird cutscenes together
>>498148771Jesus, that's some Metal Gear Rising type shit.
>>498148771If anything about that was a thing, it'd had to have been cut very early indev since there's nothing about that from all the cut stuff that was datamined, iirc.It'd explain Schroeder's TCAP-level behaviour in cutscenes though, and why he'd take them with him post-Farbanti.also holy shit this antispam thing is fucking insufferable, the 15 minute timer just shows up at random, no matter what i have turned on or off.

going to bed right now but I need to ask something and hopefully get the answers when I wake up.how is AC6 emulation currently? does cutscenes still bug out at 60fps or is it fixed?for the beta branch of project wingman, is there something similar to project secario builder or at least has access to the mods?I just need to customize aircraft maneuverability, have LMAOA and all weapons on every single plane.
>>498195106>how is AC6 emulation currently? It's okay, or stagnated would be a better word to describe it.>does cutscenes still bug outstill does, probably will never get fixed at this rate.
>>498195106>AC6 emulationit would be easier to get a cheap xbox one and a physical copy of AC6 to play it at this point
PJ is absolutely the kinda dude who'd go and fly the Ukrainian F-16A MLUs for free. (I just remember that US dude who called for retired F-16 pilots to go fight for Ukraine as volunteers).

>>497125927I miss the lore and fanon era of skin mods.
Sad that I missed today's shootout but atleast I'm pretty much done with the Legend skin as I feel that adding extra stuff would make it look worse, I still might go back and texture it a bit more now that I extracted most textures from the PSP game but I'm happy with how it looks right now.

Two things I had forgotten in Ac4 till I was playing just now. In Whisky Corridor if you dive at the very start of the mission you can see several ISAF planes sitting on the ground. And the other is when you go to rearm if you just wait around for a few moments you hear a chopper than you hear jets. On base or carrier don't matter you'll still hear them.
You guys listened to the Rising Squall OST?
Any tips on getting protected species off your damn base?
>>498606881Yeah and I've heard it's the singular good thing about it
>>498602147Imagine the sound of those firing.

>>498636967Its a loitering munition not a droneBefore someone goes they are all becoming same thing, don't care its for bookkeeping & classification reasons

>>498613554Given current discoveries, they are no longer protected species. They are now on a shoot-on-sight list.
Yep this is what happens when you let interns find images for your news stories
>>498649387The official song of the US navy has been changed to The East Is Red
I know they did simple stuff like these for the Arsenal Bird. But PA needs to go all out in 8 and do a full video with narration for the games new super weapon(s)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDgXUO5ybCsAlso check the comment section its hilarious
>>498649883wrong AC8's superweapons should be in the style of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF9UufzGgYQ
>>498650174Gear is down so what happened plane decided to shit out during landing or on take off?
>>498650750My guess is the pilot tried to go for emergency landing but realized it was impossible and bailed
>>498649883Honestly, it's a bit insane that this is a second ad video for a new cruise missile/strike platform
>>498456775>Don't they try that every few years and always get laughed away?Yeah, but this time there's so much outcry for some reason. One motion to study the issue has already been pushed aside, so there's hope. Those people chose to build up and live in close proximity to the airport/base for crying out loud.

>>498613598Yeah last time I asked about it on one of the sim generals someone said the same
>>498669295Yeah I've heard they are idiots from other people who live near that base. But not to worry in the 1 in a million chance something does come of it. It won't but always plan for that one times it does. Uncle Sam steps in and says base is here for national security reasons. At that point laws, judges, fucking idiot homeowners mean all of nothing. When that card is played its an instant win for the government period.But yes thankfully you still have plenty of people running the town who has the common sense of you moved here of your own free will you knew what you were getting so umm fuck off idiots just done in a nice way of we'll table the motion and forget about it.

Okay real talkhttps://x.com/TheChowderhead/status/1845272916327350288This guy has the right idea, and it would be so fucking cool to see the enemy>traumatize an ace so hard he makes a MGP plane to rip you to shreds personally>another guy realizes that he has zero chance in a fair fight against you, so he lobs LAAMs and fucks off once he's out of ammo>someone else blames his plane for not being able to keep up with you, so he requisitions the most maneuverable shit he can find and hounds you
>>498760943*the enemy adapt
>>498760943>>498761064But I can already experience all of this by playing AC7's multiplayer?
>>498760943sounds really annoying DESU
>>498761661Can confirm I will bust out the Stealth 2 Black Widow if you annoy me too much with either a QAAM-22 or Dankstar and lob HVAAs at you from altitude limit
>>498761661...without being subjected to a discord dweller with EML.
>>498765424Darkstars really deserve no fucking mercyThere was a guy that would exclusively play in Sp.W off rooms with it, the only way to get him was to hope he'd get an aneurysm and slow down for some reason.
Alan Wake's voice reminds me of the narrator's in Ace Combat 04.
>>498769732I encountered one in a SPW-off team deathmatch lobby once. All he'd do was circle around and fire missiles and laser beams in the general direction of the main furball while simply outrunning everything coming his way.Supremely annoying plane.
>>498724753Back when I was a kid F-16's & F-18's use to do that all the time at tree top level. Today its F-22 & F-35. Nothing beats the roar of a fighter.On rare occasions the dude that owns a WWII era trainer takes it for a flight and plays with it. That engine noise is so sweet and so unique.
>>498732034Thats almost as much as a C-5 can carry and that take off from dirt fields. I said it last time I'll say it again. I'm sure the USAF is keeping a close eye on this as it has many uses for them.

Why the fuck is the F-14 so cool yet it performs so badly? It's like a Lamborghini. Great as a poster, terrible as a performance vehicle.
>>498818250Low end plane you want the true F-14 experience you take the F-14 TGM
>>498818664My autistic brain decides that using the TGM version is cheating because it has plot armor stats despite being only the A model.
>>498818250Almost-starter plen, Viper suffers even worse (supposed to be one of the greatest dogfighters of all time but handles like a fucking barge because lol starter plen)
>>498818664The TGM is what the D should've been in the base game.
>>498818250Another reason why we need a mid-late Cold War era game, so the F-14 and F-16 can be high-tier.
>>498822337Super Tomcat 21 + F-16V game can still be modern and have high end version of them.
>>498818250Lambos are actually great performers tho
>>498821628About damn time they split it into variants. A ADF for starter, C Block.50/52 for midgame and E/V for endgame. And that's without succumbing to variant autism!
>>498822821variant autism is cool desui like having 4 different hornets, 8 different flankers, etc (unironically)
>>498823040I like having different variants that way it lets me take a plane with many different SPW choices instead of the normal limit of 3 per plane.
>>498824171it helps that they're all properly modelled and have fun text descriptions
>>498823040Same.
>>498822561I'd happily settle for the F-14D Quickstrike. AMRAAM, HARM and Harpoon on 'Cat. What more do you need?
Sol 1! Moving to bump!
Hello buddies, I've been playing Unlimited rooms a lot more the last days with this loadout and I've been wondering if I should make some changes so if there's anyone who also plays the F-35C and can give me some advice you are more than welcome to do so, and thanks in advance.Anyway what's your go to funplane when not hardfocusing against QAAM-22s or Darkstars?
>>498830169I occasionally run a mostly-MSL Battlepenguin, I can take a screenshot of my builds tomorrow (one for unlimited and a slightly nerfed one for 2500).Most of the time I'll be slinging HCAAs in the middle of the furball with my Typhoon though.
>>498818250your job is to protect the fleet not save the world
Sol 1, I can't see you in the front page.
>>498842286At first I thought this was some eldritch Pyramid head antelope creature
I think planes should have artificial intelligence connected directly to the pilot with personality aspects from the animal they name them after and pilots should demonstrate those aspects after flying with their machine for too long.
>>498852529That’s one step away from mechs making their pilots femboys
>>498833792The phantom is so beautiful.
<< It's time. >>
>>498852529But what about Phantoms or Thunderbolts?>>498859081Dangers of flying a MiG-15
>>498859081i've heard of mechs piloted by femboys but i haven't heard of mechs sissifying their pilots
>>498830169>>498830586Here's my 2500 Battlepenguin, the unlimited cost version just swaps out all the lower level parts for their maxed equivalent.
>>4988301694AAMs are not particularly good, so I just run pic related on my F-35.
Fuck
it's so fucking flat
>>498907434Is it true that F-117 was angly because hardware was not powerful enough to calculate more complex shapes?
I want to believe AC8 is real..
>>498929953>Modern plens have positive T:W ratios>VTOL is all the rage>Fly by wire is so advanced the computer does 90% of control surface adjustmentsWhy don't we have plens landing vertically? By that I mean noise pointed towards the sky. Feels like it'd be great for saving space too
>>498935773Very fuel inefficient. However, tailsitters seem to be trying to reemerge as prop UAVs
>>498852529>>498911747>>498935773You people are fucking retarded
>>498941179>Nooo! Technology should never advance! New ideas are retarded! Make the same thing again!
>>498935773VTOL=more moving parts=more complexity=a million times more dangerous than horizontal landing
>>498935773We tried out tail sitters in the 50s & 60's never really worked out like we wanted it too so we moved on. But as anon pointed out it does work good with some types of drones.
>>498859081I don't follow>>498890902You know Spook? That Phantom wizard? Yeah that's who you becomeAs for the Thunderbolts I guess it either feels like raiden from MGS 4 or a Shaman.
>>498890902>Dangers of flying a MiG-15Or a SU-75
>>498859081would you believe me if I told you there was a manga about exactly that
utter kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKyKfDXtd2Y
>>498911747Yeah, calculations for seeing how radar will bounce off every surface are a gigantic computational power hog. If a single line can spoil every effort you've made to reduce radar returns, you'd better put all the effort you can to ensure there's nothing of the sort in the finalised design.
>>498970648Beautiful Phantom.
>>498983364Funny how quickly things changed, by the time of the program that would lead to the F-22 in the 80s, Lockheed’s first designs were still faceted and they only put in the effort for a design with curved surfaces after it underperformed and another faceted design lost out on a bomber competition to what would become Northrop’s B2.

>>499030741That was really fun buddies; Have a nice rest of your weekend and thanks for the games!
>>499044589Pretty standard stuff, I'd say. The usual maneuverability and weapon parts, plus armor so it can actually take a few hits.

>>499042125I love nassault but this one is kind of a miss for me. I think the original stills tell the story in a better/more beautiful way. I just don't think the 3D models add anything meaningful, they're uglier with less atmosphere. the part where the boy watches the air battle was great though, that's where 3D really shines
>>499120346It's funny how these concepts are almost always stealthy Chimeras. I find it hearthening that I'll live to see it and what will succeed it in service.

>>499176274Acts as a secondary parachute
>>499197061I had thought you posted a picture of nothing and was about to ask what you meant by this, but then I detected the drop tanks and I see there are two F-22 Raptors in frame
>Stealth>TVC>Can control dronesDoesn't this technically make the Su-57 a 6th gen plane by current definitions?
>>4991982095th and 6th gen is all purely marketing terms.
>>499198209By that definition, couldn't you just retrofit any 5th gen fighter with a bunch of new electronics and call it 6th gen?
>>499199909yes
>>499162704I'd say the F-35 looks unique compared to most of these, it's kind of like a bull dog plane or one of those weird british pit bulls with the funny ads.

>>499212297All signs point to it being stealthier than was thought before
>>499218435yeah all the signs like the highly reflective rivets
>>499218931The fact that none have been shot down yet despite operating over an active warzone speaks volumes
>>499219557i mean neither has the F-15 in any of the warzones it has participated in. is the F-15 stealth?
>>499219557That bitch doesn't stray outside of Russian airspace.

>>499218931>STILL posting this cope pic of an early prototype after countless photos of no rivets on production aircraft AND the recent incident
>>499218931Do I need to post the picture of a production F-22 again?
>>499238967no you don't, it's been an hour since this gay, fruitless argument died and it's not necessary for you to keep it going just because it's the sole thing you post about in these threads for the last year or two.
>>499210109Have one, buddy. I've also got a few that would work if you crop them.
>>499239437maybe the guy constantly posting NAFOtier posts should not pretend to be le epic arbiter of neutrality
Gib
>>499276649I have a different preference as far as carrier-based stealth strike fighter concepts go. I know the A-12 was a real proposal, but if I didn't, I would assume it was a joke by someone trying to make commentary on stealth designs or something. A riced out F-117 easily wins the style contest.
>>499238967You need to start posting JSF prototype, that would be funnier

>>499317967It would be starter/unlock in first 3 missions tier.
>>499354901>Classic Hornet as starterCould work, actually. It'd open up carrier launches right off the bat and it's still outdated enough to have believably low-tier stats.
