>>521401358No anon... She's the dream we're tasked to protect...
>>521381376Motherfuckers will bitch and moan about no Harriers in 7. PA listens and adds it to 8 and then no one will play it because it's stats and spw are gonna be abysmal dogshit. Calling it now.
>>521412104>caring about stats
>>521407832didn't work out very well...
>>521419762I can deal with shit stats but boring SPW is one step too far.
>>521425937>can mount mavericks (4AGM)>the plus can mount AMRAAMs (4AAM or, even better, HCAA)>all the UGBs in the worldwhat more could a man want from an attacker in AC?

Pros and cons of a V-tail? I'm making a 50s inspired fighter, think a F3H analogue.
>>521412104One of the best buddies on the thread has the F-4E as his most used plane in AC7 MP.
>>521469828Is this for that thing where they threw a bunch of cars into the sea to become an artificial reef?
>>521471384Nah, this carrier was changing it's home port. When that happens the crew can bring their possessions and dependents aboard, and they get ferried to the new port.
>>521469828Who's the joker that bought an A-5 to the classic car meet?
Charles de Gaul is in Greece. Rafales and RAF Typhoons were flying over the Black Sea yesterday.
>>521433641Viper just got cursed with starter plane syndrome in 7.
>>521471998That's the Essex-class Lexington, even the damn carrier is a classic. Call it a restomod.

i hate we get nato reporting names for some of the china meme doritos sooni don't wanna call it the Rolling Thunder Dicksmasher 2000™
8 better come with a mission editor more than anything else because my God at this point we're better off making our own instead of waiting for more content
>>521485092It won't and you're legitimately retarded for expecting it.
>>521485092>mission editorDo Jap devs even do these things? As far as I'm concerned this is solely a Western dev kinda thing, and even they mostly stopped doing it.
>>521471768>crew can bring their possessions and dependents aboardAnd then there's always that one guy
>>521487728>>521490629I meant to say that I think the series could seriously use one, not that I actually outright expect PA to ever implement it. either officially or unofficially when someone finally figures out how to reliably add edit and missions to 7

>>521490907The BUFF is forever
>>521441853i think it's nice that the bongs got to have one last little playtime before getting relegated to the geopolitical equivalent of when you let your younger sibling play with an unplugged controller so they could feel like they're playing the game with you
>>521462707They have "ruddervators", which like the name implies do the job of both. This means you get less control surfaces therefore less points of failure and maintenance, but also you're in more troublw if they fail. They're also stealthier due to not being at 90 degree angles. That said IIRC they can cause some airflow issues so you need chines or canards or LERX etc to properly guide the air to them, and a quick glance at wikipedia says you need a longer and stronger fuselage becauae they suffer more stress
>>521401358
>>521385584i don't remember ac4 looking this good
i wish we could customize wingmen ala ac5 so you can take sexy photoshoots of plens flying in formation
>>521520731God bless upscaling
Well I'm finally done with the F-35C skin and it now uses a custom normal map here's a better view of it https://files.catbox.moe/9wtwcn.pngSadly it is far from perfect as it currently has a problem with the fuel probe cover ignoring the MREC https://files.catbox.moe/s62rf4.jpg and to be honest I gave up trying to fix it as I couldn't pinpoint the cause.Anyway here's the file, it uses Slot 5(Spare) https://files.catbox.moe/459v8o.7z

I HAVE SO FAR TO GO
Plens?
>>521545554No, only wives
>>521545858what's the difference
>>521485092There's probably a good reason why we haven't gotten a mission editor or custom campaign mod in 6 years of mossing.
>>521521032Yeah, I really missed this in the games after 5. It made the cutscenes so cool to be flying in full formation, or like two A-10s and two escorts or whatever.
>>521500697>They're also stealthier due to not being at 90 degree anglesIs that why so many modern planes have their tail fins at an angle?
>>521576030Correct, even non-stealth planes do it because it helps
>>521412104I don't mind underdog stats but I would mind a poor spw selection. In fact the spw selection in 8 needs to be better across the board.
>>521584537OH MY GOD HE EATED HIM
I think every goddamn game short of Falcon BMS does the F-16 dirty
>>521596305I dunno I remember it being pretty good in ACZ-AC5
>>521584537Degnoming jets is important work
>>521584537>You seriously need to floss, buddy
>>521602203Fair, I guess my assessment comes because I only unlocked it by beating Silber on my first ACZ playthrough.

>>521596305Aside from the first couple of days War Thunder made me appreciate it more than I used to.

>>521589948i really like the sp weapon system project wingman has
>>521650092I wonder how disruptive it'd be for Ace Combat level design, I really like the pylon system.
>>521657829Almost all of 7 was multirole missions anyway so it can't effect level design too much.
>>521657829I guess it'd make hearing Latin in a ground attack mission less of an "oh shit" moment.
Hello aces, just wanted to mention that my amateur solo game dev project Hellbirther is free and might be fun for most people visiting this general. It's basically a love letter to Ace Combat in many ways and should be very familiar to anyone who has played Ace Combat before especially. The game is 2D top down action/strategy with multiple modes and uses traditional shooter controls. Instead of a fighter jet you control a walking tank remotely using satellite video. Wanted to mention it here because I'm not aware of too many places online frequently talking about Ace Combat, and I genuinely think a lot of you guys would enjoy the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcTZh6dKB0g
>>521657829>>521668552The problem with PW's hardpoint-based system is that you can just make a perfect multirole mix of anti-air and anti-surface weapons, bring it to every mission, and never have to change it. Given AC's penchant for throwing fighters at you in the middle of explicitly A2G missions, it'd be a no-brainer to always bring something like it.>you can just force yourself not to bring those loadoutsThe realisation takes away some of the novelty.
>>521670864Look neat, I'll check it out once I'm out of test hell.
>>521622656IIRC his copilot at the time was an ex pilot, or at the very least a badass
You guys seem to have a penchant for letting the thread die while I'm off playing Bloodborne, luckily I've brought my laptop with me this time to stop that from happening
The problem is I have no plane pics, sorry.
>>521675890Very true, but PLSL or MGP also lets you ignore tradeoffs between A2A and A2G, albeit you need to put time and effort into aiming those versus slinging MLAA and MLAG whenever they reload.
>>521720081Putting whatever they were using for fuel in AC5 into missiles now?
>a chat on subreddit /r/politicalcompassmemesno
Do we know amything new about the Chinese tri engine jet?
>>521749685Apparently they've seen all three of them burning at low altitude, which rules out the whole ramjet theory. I think they actually need three engines to get that fat fuck off the ground.
>>521751818That's what's strange though. Usually triple engine setups don't produce much more net thrust-to-weight, due to the added mass of the third engine and the extra fuel. The best solution is typically to use two bigger engines. I'm assuming the Chinese can't build an engine in the F135 class just yet.I'm betting the J-36 is just a tech demonstrator, and whatever serial production fighter derives from it will be twin engine once their engine tech has caught up.
>>521753494>>521751818Some experts were saying all the nee tech eats too much electricity and they need the extra engine simply for power generating needs. A big fuckoff radar plus EWAR stuff and sensors eats a lot of juice. I'm inclined to believe it's this combined with the "China can't into good engines" theory
>>521751818>>521753494The design work seems too far ahead for it to be a simple demonstrator, and it really is a huge aircraft that is still meant to be supersonic. Fully loaded, putting two ends on a spectrum, it'll probably be closer to a Lancer's weight than to a J-20's.
The Indian navy has redeemed the Rafale.
>>521657829carrying up to 3 spw would be very disruptivei'd rather them revisit what JA did and let you replace your standard missiles with a SPW
