Damn the board moves fast lately. What happened?
>>541209963Same thing as always gacha generals
Given how the Air Force wants to take off from much shorter runways JATO might become far more common. Or we look back at old ideas for it.
I think its the colors that make her look odd
>>541215830AC8 skycrane level when?
>>541191348Have you considered becoming a fan of the Armored Core franchise? Their /acg/ is slower but at least it resides in the safe haven of /m/.Alternatively, customer is always welcomed to play wart hunder)))))now including even more missile alerts than Ace Combat and join /wtg/'s thriving community.

My brain constantly ping pongs on how I feel about the series' fictional plane designs, sometimes I feel like they're the coolest thing ever and a couple months later I can't help but look in disgust.

>>541292574Maybe it's because of my line up being made out of gold but 7.0 was and is quite generous with downtiers, which leaves me with many opportunities to fuck around with my CEV.

>>541309718That's a big plane.
https://quackpond-games.itch.io/carrier-wing-ypsilonThis looks cool, indie Ace Combat style game with in-atmosphere and space combat.
>>541309718Aurelian infantrymen must've been on the receiving end of a 24/7 pounding session if those Leasath people are that strong.
Algeria ordered 12 Su-57s apparently, first export order for the airframe.
>>541371008That's a lot.

>>541388625And when did 12 more appear out of thin air? if we count the test units its comes out to 20

>>541220169....but what about VTOL like the Harrier?
>>541371008Oh nice, the missile truck is finally out of Russia
>>541184186Now that Kuz is heading to the scrapyard, any news about what will happen to Russia's Su-33s?
>>541303816she dared to take on the skies (unknown)
>>541420010They're probably going to be decommissioned. Without a carrier, they have no value to anyone. They're very outdated compared to other modern Flankers. It has the same radar N001K radar and can't even use Fox-3 missiles.Could they update them to the Su-35S standard today? Sure, but since there are fewer than 20 in service right now, the cost per airframe would be immense, and without a carrier for them to operate from there isn't much point. It belongs in a museum. My mind's on the Mig-29Ks, they're still quite modern.
>>541423838there was a thing from zvezdanews where they showcased su33s with, apparently, an su30sm's cockpit. i assume they brought them up to a new standard - which probably means they changed the avionics as well to support fox threes.that's just speculation, though. could be that they just changed out the cockpit for show or something.
>>541424246I think there was talk about adding PGM capability to the Su-33, If I had to guess it would be related to that. You'd need MFDs/UFC for programming smart munitions effectively. Can you send me a link to that zvesdanews thing?
>>541424246>>541425319Also it's worth noting that Russian Naval Aviation uses the Su-30SM as well
>>541426232No point sticking with those rustbucket SU-33s when they don't have a carrier to fly off of.
bump
>>541425319https://files.catbox.moe/ycwxc6.movall i have is this video, and unfortunately not where it was actually sourced from.
>>541431570India might want some?
> /aceg/ is dyingAnd thanks friendSee you again
>>541484826It'll be okay obviously when anything AC related actually happens. The last game came out 6 years ago.
>>541484826It's just a couple months until TGA, we can hold on till then. At least I hope so.
>>541418005Airforce not Marines besides Harriers are Marine planes and those are being phased out for F-35B
>>541420010I figure Putin will use them as trade with fatass leader for more cannon fodder troops.
>>541493481Seems unlikely. They used MiG, and the mainstay is MiG-19. That's one hell of a jump from Farmer to Flanker-D
>>541496993We don't know what kind of tech he been trading for ammo and meatbags so its not out of the realm of possibilities to see Nork Su-33's in air superiority grey.
>>541500215I thought he gave missile tech? Now that MTCR is about to be a piece of useless paper, Putin will just trade Iskander and obsolete ICBMs for more meatbags
>>541501649Honesty we don't know for sure we assume missile and nuclear tech it could be just that only or could be those and other things. While the glowing people who do know for sure aren't talking.
>>541503226>>541507714So what niche did Bone fills? BUFF got the strategic bomber part while Spirit is the stealthy surgical strike part
>>541423838What about giving them to Iran? Didnβt they have some deal where Russia is supposed to give them SU-35s but are just sending MiG-29s for now or something? Given how nonexistent Iranβs airforce was in their recent scuffle, maybe theyβd be willing to take them if they anticipate another conflict soon.
>>541508407B-52 and the Doritos are subsonic, B-1 is supersonic and can carry more than either.
>>541508407It's just straight up a better strategic bomber, but the Cold War ended and stealth happened so their production got cut back hard.
>>541510271Itβs a shame itβs so pricy to fly, especially with the swing wings. Seems its niche is questionably useful as well, the US wants to ditch it and the B2 for the B52 and B21
>>541511492At this point I'm starting to hope for all in-service B-52s to spontaneously combust so that we can be rid of those fucking relics.
>>541511698Anon you say that like we're not gonna be flying B-52s on fucking Marsit's like Ma Deuce, it'll be in service till the end of time
Do you think Ace Combat games are generally pretty easy?I'm not sure how you would up the difficulty in a non-annoying way.>MISSILE>MISSILE>MISSILE>MISSILE>...for the entire level is never very fun and often still not that difficult.
>>541514740In general, I found the ps2 games to be easy, even on ace difficulty, once you figure out the tricks and use save states. Iβve done one full run on 04 ace without dying. (Albeit two A ranks and the rest were S no save states used). 05 ace had two deaths and two A ranks one of which was being stuck with the F-5. Zero I did with five -_- deaths all S rank knight run damn sams on valley of the kings.7 is more difficult especially if you want those cursed time-limited bullshit S ranks, and X is straight up torture.Iβm super bad at X.
>>541511913So why is BUFF still on service? With the billions poured to research you expect an upgraded version will be here by now
>>541514740Yeah they're pretty easy. >I'm not sure how you would up the difficulty in a non-annoying way.Depends on what you consider annoying but we've seen a couple of ways:A) Zero path: Bigger emphasis on Ace enemies and special gimmicks on those planes.B) 3 path: Adding more realistic aspects to add more complexity to each encounter. C) Project Wingman path: A selection of enemy units and the main bosses have special attacks that require a different response than the usual missile alert does, and higher difficulties add more of these units.>>541517368>and use save statesI agree that the PS2 games aren't particularly hard but part of their difficulty was the lack of checkpoints, that may fall more on the annoying side of increasing difficulty but it's still there and you're completely erasing the strain of continous combat out of the equation.
>>541525624Theyβre cheap to fly and good enough to bomb enemies in uncontested airspace. They have also been upgrading them, itβs just kinda hard to justify making a new subsonic bomber in the vein of the B-52 without any stealth features, given that the US has started caring about near peer conflicts again. Every other strategic bomber in US service is more advanced and generally more capable, but they just cost more to fly.
>>541475424India evaluated the Su-33, but the Vikrant and Vikramaditya are too small to support them. It's why they bought MiG-29Ks. They're also buying Rafale M now.
>>541508407it was supposed to fly low and fast (basically aardvark meets the b52) since the americans started figuring out that the soviets could just keep up with the altitude game they were playing with more modern SAM systems.
>>541533391So in theory all those low altitude bombing mission in AC games can be done with Bone?
>>541534869You can give it a try if you likehttps://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/2706
>>541534869i don't quite remember the doctrine, but it flies low and fast to use the curvature of the earth to mask itself from ground radars and whatnot, and then it does its business in one way or another afterwards. i don't know if it would be deployed exactly like the aardvark (as in, to bomb targets that low too)
>>541535130Well it's officially only supersonic at altitude, so I assume the Bone approach at low, throw smart bombs at target and get the fuck out of the AO using afterburner
>>541380461There is a lot of types of weapons which other countries have in bigger amounts than we do.90's were rough, our military industry just tried their best to survive, so at one point India had more T-90's than Russia did.
>>541534962Kek, now that's a mod. Will do
>>541537037I don't think it's too wild to say that it can go supersonic at low altitudes too, but with the stress you're going to give that airframe you better make sure it's a war worth dying for.
>>541547847True. If they pushed it to the very limit and beyond, Bone might go Mach 1.But just like Foxbat with its Mach 3, better make sure the extra speed boost is worth it
>>541529669The Rafale can launch from a non catobar carrier?
>>541552838Yeah, it was part of the requirements. For some reason there's no video of Rafale M being tested for STOBAR but it was approved. The Super Hornet was tested too. Pic related is supposedly the Rafale M at the same airbase undergoing its test.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJN9deZYnmI
>>541553726Wonder to what extent that cuts into the payload/range
Is Assault Horizon Legacy any good?
>>541525347Piggie
>>541590601It's a remake of AC2 that properly integrates it into the modern Strangereal. Fantastic soundtrack and about as solid gameplay as you're going to get on a portable. It's built on the same framework as ACX. However, it includes a "Hold an angle long enough and get a magic manoeuvre that puts the enemy straight in your sights" mechanic to compensate for the 3DS's clunky controls.
I HAVE SO FAR TO GO
>>541614094I was considering trying it since I'm itching for more AC and I only have a 3DS emulator right now
>>541589741Fatfuck
For the ideal. For the people.
>>541622875But what about when it's on the ground during daytime?
>>541624414> Leaving Nighthawk naked on the ground, not in a hangarYou have a much bigger problem than just visibility
>>541625794>nighthawk-chan naked and defenseless on the groundimagine...
>>541625987Anon no...
Fun plen story.
>>541547847if the cold war went hot, it was always going to be *the* war worth dying for.
That radar mission in AC5 sucks
>>541625987>>541630220Oregon has a naked Nighthawk on display, actually.
>>541645883>You gotta time your shots with your wingmen>They will fuckup their countdowns at randomWhoever thought of that should've been slapped.
>>541669141The names they stuck on the aircraft in that game are legitimately fucking insulting. Designation numbers are not copyrighted!
>>541670120>Designation numbers are not copyrighted!They can and are trademarked though, especially in cases where you're clearly using the trademarked name to refer to the specific plane. The MIC will not be denied.
>>541669141>>541670120>>541670962Funnily enough, the Gripen has a correct designation, as long as it's a Brazilian Gripen
plens?
>>541669141Vomit inducing fake names.>>541672129It could very well be one. Not that any gives a fuck about story in a Battlefield game, but Pax Armata is supposed to be an alliance of nations going against NATO but not aligned with Russia or China. Maybe Brazil joined up with them in universe. Or someone at DICE was looking at Wikipedia one day and saw that on the Gripen's page and suggested it as another name to use.
>>541685017I thought Pax Armata was a "super elite" PMC, a la Wagner/Blackwater but well ackshually a state-level threat. Because Russia's no longer scary enough to be the opfor and writing the plot around China fighting and losing against the US would be financial suicide, since they would boycott the shit out of it and likely stir shit up online.
>>541686532Frankly I'm still not sure what the fuck they are, I know two of the subfactions for them in multiplayer are Italian and Spanish units and the marketing mentions NATO fracturing. Though if it actual nations banding together I find those funny choices because both Italy and Spain got really butthurt about the 5% spending thing recently. Also unrelated for some reason, NATO has a Gepard as their SPAA while Pax has a Gepard with FUTURISTIC ANGULAR METAL welded onto it. Honestly I don't really care too much because I liked the open beta, I just find it amusing because of my military vehicle autism.Anyways, planes right? Aren't they cool?
