I wish Ace Combat 1 didn't color your plane to look like a cheap toy and instead kept the standard color cheme for the planes you buy.
you have no sovl

>>502319238Umm you can have both beat the game on hard or enter code belowTo enter these cheats, first you need to enter the Now Loading cheat. To do this, just hold R1 + Circle before entering any Now Loading screen. If done right, a screen with a bunch of CD's flying around will appear instead of the bird screen. At this screen, you have a limited time to enter the following codes. A character sprite will appear in the bottom-left if the code was entered correctly.Then enterPress Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, R1You now have all planes in real world colorsBut like >>502320140 said you lack sovl to not use those colors
Its Friday you know what that means
>>502365357Only AC8 reveal trailer can do that. And only TGA is left for this year.

How do they avoid getting crippled in yet another surprise attack the OIA somehow completely missed
Well buddies, I just completed a mostly blind playthrough of AC6. All I knew about were some of the basic plot points and Chandelier. It was ok, but of all the numbered games i've played so far, so everything except Air Combat and AC2, this one is the lowest on the list. I had fun with it, but the story was kind of anticlimactic. I expected Emmeria to push into estovakia after the cruise missile attack on Gracemeria, but instead it jumps straight from that to the Chandelier assault. I expected it to cap out at a nice even 20 missions, but it skips all that additional asskicking and goes straight to the end, a real letdown. Also, its getting kind of old that literally every game chronologically since ace combat 4 has used the "young officers" plot device, which is obvious Belkan tomfoolery each time, not counting the instances where it is stated outright. This was funny and halfway realistic when it was once or twice, but four times is fucking ridiculous, and i'm saying that as someone who loves all of these games.As for gameplay, it was plenty fun and challenging, but the balancing on some of these missions is way off, mostly on the many "ground unit defense" missions, where you have at least two operation areas. You help out the guys in one of them, then you have to put the pedal to the fucking metal and hope the guys in the next area 50km away are still alive when you get there, and by the time you do arrive the guys in the last area are getting hammered again. Also doesn't help that some of the planes best suited to ground attack are slower than molasses during a blizzard, and of course my autism demands that I do it all over again if any of the tankbro squads get wiped out. (1/2)
That one mission where you have to do a canyon run to destroy transport trucks at the end got me on the return trip too, getting swarmed by 100+ fighters while my alert didn't stop beeping for probably 10 minutes straight wasn't fun either. Also, fuck Strigon squad on the Aigaion mission. Granted, I happened to pick the same plane they were using, but holy shit that was tough. It put yellow squadron to shame for sure. Also, I had to use my planefu as soon as I unlocked her (F-15E), and that has to be the slowest controls for it I've ever used, and it felt like every other plane was fine. I felt like I had to plot every turn very carefully or I would crash because of the solid 5 seconds it took to pull out of a dive. It also didn't help that the missiles in this game are completely fucked. Numerous times they missed when my lock on was perfect and my angle and distance would have made an ace stuka pilot blush, but they still whiffed completely. At least the game makes up for it by making machine guns kill anything in a dozen rounds, but unfortunately this is also true when the enemy is firing at you. There were a few times I got killed by a flak gun before I even had a chance to figure out where it was firing from. I guess that's realistic but it was still a pain in the ass. When flak guns get introduced in AC4, you're told about them when you're still outside firing range and when they're right in front of you. They'll still fuck you up but the game at least makes sure you'll feel like a retard for ignoring them, and I was expecting them going into AC6, but I wasn't expecting them to kill me that fast.Anyway, the story is at least interesting, even if not nearly as good as the majesty of the ps2 games, or AC3 JP, which blew my fucking mind, but it's serviceable. Kind of wish there was more characterization for Shamrock too, he was a bro but he felt kind of hollow. I almost expected him to do some Pixy shit towards the end but in a way im glad I was wrong. (2/3)
I wondered about the section in the mission screen about whether or not your wingman survived. I wondered if Shamrock could actually die. I assumed it had something to do with the plot, seeing as named friendlies in all the other games usually have plot armor and cannot die for any reason until their story-ordained moment comes, but Shamrock never died either, so that remains unknown. I also kept expecting the game to introduce more of them, but that never happened. The framing for it was a little different to that in AC0, where the game kind of points out that Pixy is going to be your one and only wingman for the duration of the game, but nothing else was ever said about it so i'm not sure.Overall, I wish the game had more missions and planes, but i'm sure every buddy wants moar planes in every game, so that's a given. I'm sorry if anybody really liked this game only for me to shit on it like this, but it just felt undercooked and unfinished. It wasnt terrible, but it wasnt spectacular either, just average. I hate to say "tech demo" but it felt more like Project Aces just wanted to show off how good they could make shit look on the 360. Speaking of which, just like every other ace combat game i've played, I played this one on original hardware, so be sure to tell me off if that was the cause of any of my woes.(3/3)
>>502390439No, it's AC2 nagase
>>502423207Would the guy have to step out of the cockpit to reload this? Damn what a concept.
>>502418376AC6 is probably the best to play on original hardware since it can't be emulated without any issues yet.
>Glad you boys got up
>>502397001Oh that's pretty cool, thanks.>>502320140If disliking an ugly toy-like color scheme equals no sovl then I guess no sovl then.
>>502423207now up the rate of fire by 500% and strap the gun to a fast jet
Shootout when?
>>502467374In 30 minutes, or earlier if someone decides to set up a room.I won't be joining though, got other commitments tonight.
>>502467374Shootout now. Hop on AC7 MP, and <<let's have fun>>.Rules are in the OP.
>>502471734>room fullFugCan I get a (you) when a spot clears?
>>502473353a spot just opened

Are buddies still playing?
>>502477974yeah, hop on in we just got another slot open
That was fun, buddies, shame I was lagging apparently
Gotta love random technical hiccups lol lmao.
And such timing too. I hope it's not what I think it is
>>502479976Sadly it seems that something about the online is just inherently unstable. It's rare to go for a full session without crashing at least once.
>>502481805That's okay. I think the server's stable again now
>>502483404Nevermind spoke too soon
Buddies...
>Direct bomb hit
Another great shootout saturday, buddies! Really intense battles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8oEOlaVh6APurchased Nuclear Option based on recent thread discussion. Very good OST.
That was fun, buddies!Hope to see you next Saturday.
>>502476587Footage herehttps://files.catbox.moe/5jqycb.mp4
>>502365357>Only 6 more missions that are just more of the same >No new weapons >Less planes >Bad writingWho cares?
>>502491064Nuclear Option is great. Scratches the sim-lite itch that Strike Fighters 2 used to for me, but with actual multiplayer too.
>>502498060TBF most people agreed that PW's writing is ass after the honeymoon period ended.
For a game focused on planes AC has a lot of cool naval concepts
>>502496189That's pretty LAAM of them.
>>502507195I was confused for a moment then I noticed the display stand.
>>502507195So this is what Franklin has been doing as of late.
>>502458973Very cute did you draw? or find?
>>502418376Shamrock can't die can can't be shot down till the final mission during his scripted open tunnel run. As long as you unlock SPW for him he goes wildYes we all wish it had more missions the ones we got are fun but you can only play them so many times before you want a break.Have to say you are the first person here who didn't like 6 sure the story is pure JP melodrama but the gameplay is what everyone likes. Did you make healthy use of your allied attack?>my autism demands that I do it all over again if any of the tankbro squads get wiped outAh this is where the problem comes from. Unless both of you are flying the CFA-44's your going to lose allied units its guaranteed to happen with any other plane combination. Unless your playing on easy then any higher end plane does the job.>fuck Strigon squad on the Aigaion missionYou have two choices here1) use allied attack on the airships and you fight them.2) use allied attack on Strigon they all die in under 10 seconds and become a non issue.If you try and do it all by yourself your just shooting yourself in the foot with a GAU-8. The game was designed around the gimmick attack use it often.
>>502519462no im pretty sure the popular consensus on 6 is that its underbaked with some good ideas
>>502520581Never seen that line of thought around hereThe cut scene story line is crap yes the in game story line is pretty normal AC fare while the gameplay is some of the best thanks to the fuck huge battles you get to play in. all the time
>>502519462Oh no, I liked it just fine, but I think it doesn't measure up compared to the others I've played. The story was fine, I just expected it to push on for longer and I was disappointed when it didn't. I played on normal, I never play on easy on these games.>Did you make healthy use of your allied attack?N-no... unless you mean setting Shamrock to attack, which I did often, then no, I never used it even once, but if the game is designed around the thought that you'll be using it then yeah, that would be the source of a lot of my issues.>>502520581>>502521573Both of you together pretty much sum up my thoughts on it. I was a little less harsh on the cutscene story, but other than that its spot on.
>>502537902>Buddy, I've found a reason to fight.
>>502537902Sometimes the level 2 missile seeking upgrade do be like that lol.
>>502507195I was going to question why it was there but then I saw it wasn't live, but now I'm still curious why they placed it there
They had to knock out Prez for the final boss so she wouldn't spend the whole thing making Diplomat sound downright... diplomatic.
>HELP
