not enough flankers
Mission 30 sucked, bunch of waiting around doing nothing
Six million children with Cosette
You guys should be thankful for Tewy. Had she not crippled Tasha's mom, she's most likely going to be killed by Wardog
So tewy did my work for me before mission 28 while I also did her work for her back in mission 27? ok
Say something about the Mirage 2000>>582873271Flankerheads are spoiled. Miggers are starving.
>>582873295>Mission 29>Mission 30Went from absolute peak cinema to certified trash.
>beat mission in higher difficulty>it doesn't automatically count for the lesser onesfucking WHY
>>582873475I love the mirage 2000
anyone got pictures of the swarm drones and quadcopters in game? I want to inspect them, the briefing pics werenmt adequate for me
Given that insane imagery of tonitrus dropping like a dozen spears on FCU cities, a total death toll of 1 million seems... pretty low?
>>582873475I will never fly a frog plane
>>582873562One million?
>>582873110I don't think Torres is there at all. It'll be "Enemy submarine captain", unfortunally
>>582873586Torres no. Bad captain. Don't make me hide your anime
>>5828735627 nukes
>>582873521Not really. The last mission is basically emotional relief to wrap up the lore.It's a gimmick mission. You don't need to compare it to the Hrimfaxi\Sciinfaxi or Alicorn, but to other gimmick mission like SOLG
>>582873741The actual gameplay sucks
>>582873741Except the way it's done is functionally one of the most boring missions in all of AC, and as one anon discovered last thread, if you're remotely too fast, it's possible to break the mission scripting. So you have to let all the dialogue play out before shooting down the molasses targets coming at you via dripfeed.
>>582872779For whatever reason AC7 had a lot of ban waves for cheaters, but I don't know how much of that was from player reports, or even remotely effectiveThey might be keeping an eye out, weirdly enough, I guess someone had to give a shit about 7's multiplayer
accccerrr cobrmtuah
I was a Mirage main until I switched to the F-15. I'm never going back, I can't deal with being an unmovable 18 wheeler truck with wings
>>582874131how's the mirage compared to 7? I love how it flies in 7
>>582874184Its a good main until you get something real. UGB is busted and carries.
Hello old friend.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8tpgw7HQ6A
Apparently Tegimen was trying to communicate with the enso sub at the end, and information is classified until 2050what was he doing
>>582873268its good enough, it comes with a 2006 launcher window, and a small introduction to the controls if you are playing with a keyboard
Please add Excalibur and B7R next season Scamco... *pray* *pray* *pray*
How thick IS the land battleship's armor? If the turret (traditionally thickest armor in the entire ship) needs a MOP to pierce through, that thing should be a few meters of solid steel
>>582874341That fight was so fucking hard on ACE Jesus Christ. I had to restart and get QAAMs.
I need the music that plays for Purple Magic on the night mission right now.

Why are people using fighters for shit like alicorn and chandelier
>>582874836
how long did it take y'all buddies to finish the game? I played for no less than 18 hours straight with no sleep right as the game came out and it was gruelling
>>582875209Took me 17 with breaks. I feel like I probably struggled less than some people because I beelined for all the parts over actual aircraft. I never touched any of the true endgame aircraft like the F-35 or F-22.A nice thing about this game is that you will actually get 80% through the aircraft tree before the game ends. I remember in AC7 it took multiple replays to max it out.
Not even mkb works and you have to alt+f4 to quit.
>>582874791When did it happen
>>582875209About that long too.
>>582875462I redid Mission 2 for an S rankIt might not have been an enemy crash, but I did get the "we're under attack" beep after the mission was over and an enemy plane got knocked out over the carrierTechnically I managed to do the whole mission without letting the carrier take any damage, at least
So is the Jet stats right in this one, or are they wrong like in AC7?
>>582875936>Jet stats>Ever correct in Ace Combat
>>582873067My rig:Ryzen 5 36003060ti32gb ramAm I cooked?
>>582875314I went with the Hornet and Super Hornet for the whole playthrough, the annoying missions like M15 and M28 is where I struggled since I feel like I was missing out on either speed or maneuverability even with parts
>>582876082Yeah M15 is a really gay sideliner. It's 100% a Foxhound mission for anybody on a fresh run. I do not respect missions that cannot be deduced from the briefing, especially one in which speed is the mandatory stat.
How do i raise the level cap of an aircraft in multiplayer?
>>582874935That's why I am playing as much of it now as I can, knowing full well with all its issues this MP won't last until xmas.
>>582876062medium to low and you are fine
Ludo
>>582876270You need cash and blueprints. Blueprints come from1. 5x for free the first time you finish 5 missions with that plane 2. 10x random blueprints from boss/scramble missions (basically worthless because its pure RNG on what plane blueprints you get) 3. The store for 1,000 each The store is how you'll get most of them. Why we need blueprints at all I do not know. It adds nothing to the experience and just adds a bunch of menus you have to navigate to purchase blueprints to then upgrade planes. Unlocking 15 lets you get 2x special weapons though, so worth doing on a plane you really like using.
>>582876272I want them to make 4man coop lobbies a thing where you can just play missions with a 20-30min timer and launch with a partially full lobby as wellThat way you can still have fun with friends from time to timeI'd kill for a cool coop campaign mode for these games
>>582876270Go to the hangar and check the upgrade plane option. Buy blueprints on the store for that airplane (in "Others" section), but first see how many blueprints you need to do that, some planes require more than 10 blueprints. For the other XP upgrade you need USB upgrades, you get them by playing more.
>>582876540Pretty sure thats what 99% of the player base wanted. No idea why they went with these dogshit PvPvE modes. I would have just taken a coop campaign with 4x enemies over this.
>>582876465>>582876559Thanks
>>582876590Oh i think they are fun as fuck for now but once the game becomes older and the playerbase diminishes I'd still want to fuck around in it because i love the gameplay A mission list and hunting s ranks in coop and trying out different setups and killing all the bosses is still an entire game worth of content
Uh I have the good boy early edition, so why don't I have the Morgan or the goy pass?
WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SO MANY SAMS FIRING AT ME ALL THE TIME IN MISSION 25 WHAT THE FUCK LEAVE ME ALONE AAAAAAAAA

>My non-existent face when I watch the enemy team of four Morgans clear up the map faster than anybody can respond on my team of Phantoms and TomcatsYeah this online mode has zero shelf-life until class limitations are implemented. Super planes should not be allowed. Even in the PvE mode that's just fucking annoying.
>>582878584I knew this kind of shit will happen, so us regular peasants are going to be lagging behind the P2Piggies Morgans.

>>582876154>It's 100% a Foxhound mission for anybody on a fresh runDoes the Foxhound have HPAAs? Speed is good and all but you also need DPS. F-15J worked pretty well for me there.
>>582876154if you're lucky you can skip the phase 2 shit with the laser cwizzes if you kill the second guy quick enough
>Like five different currencies to upgrade your stuff in the online section all tucked away in twenty million menusJesus Christ what is it with Nips and this garbage?
It's mostly positive nao
Alright, what the heck is the answer to mission 28? I realized on my second attempt that the shadows pretty much force you into PSM speed, is that it? I scraped by with the F-16C but QAAMs were still almost useless and I got a D rank...
I see they REALLY wanted to one-up Bering Strait, huh.
>>582880560It's only selling because it's AC. Without that it has all marks of a bad UE5 game. Despite being good it was a major tech fumble.
>>582880639They don't evade guns.
>>582880860>It's only selling because it's AC>ACSo that's why it's so popular in the US and not so much in EU
>>582880860People buy things for their engine, and not the videogame itself, right?
>>582880889They're too slippery to get guns on! Skill issue...
>playing at upscaled 720p because my computer is fucking trash apparently despite exceeding the minimum specsif i squint i can pretend i'm playing an emulated undiscovered PS2 AC title
There are so many potential alternate routes that they give to Queens, the first time it happened I honestly thought there was going to be a choice of ops againWould've been great material for a coop campaign, like how Space Marine 2's coop stuff all takes place off to the side of the actual campaignMaybe AC9 will finally give us a coop campaign
VR MODE?
>>582881450I find that going for 22 over the rest of the Shadows is the way to go since if you kill the rest first he'll just waste your damned time until the timer runs out, and perhaps his flying becomes more slippery too...
>>582881739It would run on PSVR at 12fps so it was not allowed for pc
>>582873067Starting on a glossary of terms for the inevitable /aceg/ Multiplayer guide:>Oh cool Anon is making a guideNo, I'm starting one part of it, just wanted to make a list of relevant terms we can refer back to later on. Anyway here is the list so far, input appreciated.>Zoll (silver): Buy AIRCRAFT, PARTS, BLUEEPRINTS, SKINS, cosmetics. Rewarded after missions.>Ace Coins (blue): Premium Currency. Buy ACE PASS, SKINS, cosmetics. Bought with real money or rewarded from ACE PASS.>Supply Token (gold): Buy SKINS, EMBLEMS. <<how is this obtained?>>Ace Pass XP: Obtain rewards from ACE PASS>Ace Pass: Features SKINS, EMBLEMS, BLUEEPRINTS, CONTRACTS, ACE COINS, cosmetics. Resets every 2 months. >Combat XP: Raises AIRCRAFT LEVEL to improve plane stats. <<what specifically?>>>Blueprints: Increase AIRCRAFT LEVEL CAP, can be general or aircraft specific. >Aircraft Level Cap: Unlocks PART slots, Sp.W options. >Pilot XP: Increases PILOT RANK. << is it always 100 earned per mission?>>>Pilor Rank: Unlocks AIRCRAFT for purchase. >Parts: Improve plane/weapon performance>Supply: Obtained from Challenges. Roll for a single random reward. Contains cosmetics, SKINS, EMBLEMS, <<what else?>>>Contract: Consumable which increase the ZOLL or COMBAT XP rewards of a mission.>Cosmetics: various items present on the player profile/avatar which do not affect planes or missions such as costumes, emotes, stickers, player-emblems, nicknames, etc.Once this gets too long to put into one post we could start thinking about a pastebin or something to link in the OP. Eventually it would be nice to have comprehensive info about the online mission variants and aircraft/weapon info.
>Get SAAMs in ACO>Ruin everybody's day
>>582882180>Supply Token (gold): <<how is this obtained?>>small quantity is provided consolation for cases that roll dupelicates of otems you already have acquired from supply cases, in order to lessen issues with expected value and RNG.___Also worth noting that upgraded MkII parts are avaliable in the store(aircraft items tab). at the very bottom of the list below skins emblems. easch for 10k Zoll this allows you to skip the challenge grind
I was expecting people to be exaggerating about mission 15, but manI can clear the first guy pretty consistently, what's the plan for the second's PLSLs? I'm running a Foxhound
>>582873067Fatest mrp grind for the campaign? I wanna get an f14-c or whatever before it's too late
>>582883517i just went with something that can go 4aams or 2aams and kept shooting. i find speed isnt really a decider as much as just putting out damage but idk. theres also a brief window between shooting down the first one and the second one where phase 2 doesnt start so you can essentially skip it if you get lucky and get them both low around the same time
>>582879569Unironically basedfaced when it dropped
>>582883585Mission 4 on repeat. Just fly directly to the target ships, don't engage Shark Squadron or anything else. the best weapon for it is UGB. You get over 27k MRP in 4 minutes.
>>582883669>>582883517Speed is (mostly) bait. Unless you're in a Foxhound loaded with top speed parts you're not catching up to them before they open their wings. And once they open them they slow down massively so anything reasonable can catch them. Focus on DPS over speed, 4aam, 6aam or HPAA with reload and damage parts work best. Make sure to also use the part that makes your standard missiles do more damage to air targets.If you're a real psycho you can also speedrun the entire mission with unguided rockets
>>582883986i dont think theres any plane in the game that can keep up with them even with full part upgrades. wonder if they anticipated people being able to blow them up before they blow up the first ships
>>582884172Yeah, it feels like the game is using some dynamic speed trickery. No matter how fast you go they're always slightly faster and as soon as they start gapping you they slow down and let you stay just out of range.
is it just me or does the plane tree feel a lot smaller and less fleshed out than in 7, not counting DLC planes
>FCU is losing, mostly by disgruntled break away states taking the opportunity to ditch>There's like 30 pilots left, tops>That number gets a whole lot less>Literally no one else can perform these operations>WiNgS Is A FaKe!The game is good but seven did the usea war plot better and that had a pilot penal unit.
>>582884579if 7 was just the penal unit it would have been better than what we got
>>582884769>Game peaks at Faceless Soldier and nose dives
>>582884406Well, 8 objectively has more planes than 7 without counting DLC but I think I get what you mean. If you go down the Russian tree it feels especially barren as they've removed 3 flankers and only added the frogfoot(which is a sidegrade unlock that you'll probably skip). Another thing is that it's probably best to partsmaxx on your first run. Instead of going down a single tree to get access to higher tier planes earlier it's better to dip into all the trees to get all the best upgrade parts(especially if you can go down the tree without buying planes and go around expensive purchases with parts).
>>582884896its painfully obvious 7's story is trying to be 3 things at once
>>5828845797's story bordered on being an incomprehensible retelling of 4's story with an Osean twist. I was able to completely suspend my disbelief because the story in 8 was delivered much better than the chicanery of 7's rewrites and botched localizations
How come AC8 doesn't have Japanese jets.
>>582883669>>582883986Okay yeah, switched to Mirages and 4aam, got a little dicey at 80% damage but managed an S rank on EliteDefinitely spent way too much time overshooting with the FoxhoundCheers
>>582885034Sir, your F-2 and F-15J?
>>582885120>Silver marksman badge from all the uavsChrist
>>582885176Those are Japanese? I see F-something I automatically register it as something American.
>Cosette escapes the Space Elevator in a V22Brave. Stupid, but brave.
>>582885034>>582885176>>582885245i think he means domestically produced planes, like what the f-1? x-2 shinshin? the former i could see as a new addition to the early tree shit like f-4s and mig 21s but the latter i dont see being added
>>582885346>but the latter i dont see being addedWhy not? I see it's an experimental one but berkut finds a way into every roster.
>>582885454theres no reason why they couldn't add it, other than "lets just keep reusing the same planes every game now people dont expect anything new from us". they could add a billion planes if they wanted to, but time, money, labor, etc
>>582885335When I heard her attendant going "We have to take off", followed by unidentifiable noise in the background and the imagery of the Space Elevator car climbing, I genuinely thought for a second that she had done the usual Rosa shit and decided to go up to the orbital port to handle the already-delivered Spear package herself. She's enough of a soft-spoken lunatic that it is absolutely believable for her to do that.
I wonder if biboo will play this.
>>582885709I thought the exact same thing and thought we were going to Harling her by mistake when we shot down the car.
How many copies do you think they need to sell in order for AC9 to be given a go-ahead.
>tfw mission 28 really kicks it up a notch
I preordered the base version now off of fanatical... am I stupid?
Buddies... you ARE fullclearing annihialation missions to end them early instead of letting time run out... right?
>>582885454The Berkut is actually the only non-production jet in AC8, aside from the fully fictional ones. They removed the Terminator and the Black Widow.
>>582885346>F-1God damn, been a very long time since I heard THAT one. Let's check the last console title with it>Zero....well, how about that
>YOUNG>UPSTART>OFFICERSEvery fucking time in Strangereal
Do you guys feel bittersweet about past endgame planes like the SU-47 being mid tier multiroles now? When I was a kid these things were like Super Prototype alien planes. Just feels kinda sad, like the passage of time keeps moving without our consent. Which is cool i guess since we have to make the new 5th gen stuff look strong but still. At least the F-22 still has legendary god status in AC. I wonder if AC9 is gonna keep it that way.
>>582883517I did it with a Typhoon loaded with 4AAMs and a top speed upgrade. My first attempt with a 4AAM+LAAM combo loadout did not go well because you can't lock on to the fucking things unless you're right on their ass.
>>582888726for me its>checkmate will never be added, if only because a flying model has never been produced yet and probably wont be for the next ten years
>>582888726That's a very elaborate way of saying "I'm aware of the fact that I'm getting older"
ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhhhh OH OH HO OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>582888726I would... were the Berkut not an absolute gigachad in AC8. Seriously, take the part that increases UGB capacity, pick UGBs and HPAAs and you'll be a fucking engine of death for both air and ground targets.
What are the jammer planes even for in this one? Multiplayer I guess? Any use for them in SP?
The way Mission 28 was going I wasn't going to be surprised at all if fucking Not!Pixy or Count or some shit showed up
>>582889352Sometimes I give one to Professor so I have free EC/SM
>>582889352They feel like dead weight in the hands of your wingmen. Tell them to use SPW, maybe they'll pop one or the other after 15 seconds... And the radius is tiny. And they only get like two shots.
Rate the OST relative to the other games in the series.
>>582889113heydesu hot take I think they overused it
>>5828895050 > 4 > 8 > 5 >7 > 3 > 2 > 1
>>582889505In the top 3When I finished the story there were immediately 8 songs I felt the need to go look up and listen to the full versions of again + a bunch more that in the moment I remember liking but can't remember what mission they were on exactly
Worst fucking mission
>>582889352They can be useful for your team but they run out of ammo very quickly so you have to be selective with when you allow them to use SPWs.The biggest bonus is that the ESM lets your team become total killing machines even if you're not personally in range(and don't need the boost). If you give your teammates LAAMs + ESM and then turn on SPW you can watch them just wipe out half the map from BVR, it's hilarious.
>>582889662The obligatory "Second shitty plot transition" map that every ace combat game has.
>>582889662>remember erusea>remember the princess>remember the space elevatorok project aces i get it you dont need to be so blatant with the fanservice get me the fuck out of here and over to comona
>>582889662It wasn't THAT bad. Getting the drones as they're Ravening up the tower was a bit tricky at first, though.
>>582889683You don't get any points for them successfully taking down enemies, right?
>>582889840You get full points for any kills made by Joker flight.
>Is that a thing now?>[YES] / NO>Of course it's not, what are you talking about!>I'm alive, goddamit!KINO GEM ALERT
>>582889872Oh shit, okay.
>>582889821Just gun them down. Taking the gun range + gun damage parts is mandatory for almost any mission anyway.Also make sure to go into the gameplay options and switch your lead reticle to Type B, that gets you the holy trinity gunsight instead of the wobbly mess from AC7.
>>582889978Fuck, is that why I still can't hit for shit?
>>582885245They are Japanese the F-15J is a locally produced version of the F-15 for the JASDF and the F-2 while based on the F-16 has some differences vs the F-16.
>Mission 24I genuinely thought it was mandatory to fly through the tunnel to get the targets because I didn't wait long enough for them to come out, I was thinking that was a really tough mandatory requirement for new players
>>582889567When it starts singing female, kinda fucking chills
>>582890142I was really sad when I didn't get any unique "Holy shit Wings just flew right in there" dialogue for doing that because it was legitimately a tight fit in there

Any of the 240k aircraft worth it or should I save up for one of the 500k ones?
>>582890379You do? The enemy, your squad and Cope comment on it. In fact you even get a "he's flying into it again!" line if you do it twice.
>>582889662was it really that hard to PID your targets? most of the ships don't have 3 cranes so I was able to quickly get the first 2, hell I was even able to 6AAM all of the drones in one go
>>582890462I must've cleaned them up too fast because I didn't get it, or maybe it's because I didn't kill enough TGTs while in there
>>582890567Going in as it's supposed to. I.E using Y to zoom inThere's just too much shit on the screen to properly read shit.
>Kira Buckland is the Bitchin' BettyHuh
>>582890606I think if you go in too fast the mission dialogue between Dealer and the XO takes priority. That said I didn't go in the front entrance on my first pass, I went in through the side, maybe that made a difference.I'd go back and try it, the dialogue is pretty good, reminds me of that desert mission in AC6.

>>582890684no need to do that, just fly over them and look for the sun symbol on any ship with 3 cranes like the dialogue mentioned>>582890823I took SODs for that mission, had to drop it when the Battleship was in the middle of the elevator against my own judgement just to take down that POS
Stupid radar bubble missionThat was the worstThe rest was ok
>>582890447F-15J is really good. UGBs and HPAAs are just a good combo and it has great stats and enough parts slots.If you're saving up for the 350k craft go for the Rafale(assuming you have a way to access it), it's by far the best in that tier.
I love how your wingmen has a melty over you flying under bridges and under the land bridge in the space elevator
Featherhead is one of the worst nicknames the series has had
oh that thing we fought a war over is under attack? Who cares
>582890439
>>582891117If they intervene Yuktobania is going to get involved
>>582891106True. But then enemies start calling youTerminus Fingers, which is kino.
>>582891117>does nothing>gets tonitrus fingered anyway
>>582891117Different president won an election, now they have to intentionally sabotage everything the previous administration did.>>582890992Could've been a cool canyon run mission if they let you go faster. Being stuck in an POS that can't even go hypersonic sucks.
>>582889137The parts related to UGBs has made them retarded strong. The only thing that beats them for raw damage per salvo is the cluster bombs which benefit from all the same upgrades. Made Mission 28 a fucking cakewalk with them things.s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wqldwLegPo>2:43We James Bond or something.
The "weak gun sound" complaint was mainly a starter Hornet thing, the Typhoon's cannon sounds mean as hell.
>>582891350Yeah, the loadout part is the main offender. It more than doubles your loadout when using 2 SPWs which means you can do retarded shit like take LASM/UGB on the Mirage 2000 and still have more than enough UGBs to never need a rearm. The blast radius part is as strong as ever but that wouldn't be such a huge problem if you didn't have so many bombs. >The only thing that beats them for raw damage per salvo is the cluster bombs Yeah, those things are STRONK but the only plane that can really use them is the Strike Eagle. The frogfoot is mostly a meme for challenge runs, it's too slow for most missions.
>>582891182>Hand of Hope for your allies, Hand of Fate for your enemiesyeah I like terminus fingies
Out of curiosity, is anyone playing in Japanese? How's the voice acting? I always play these games in English but I've noticed that some of the direction seems a bit off at times (the actual acting itself is solid).
>>582891721Yeah I noticed the same thing. It has always been a problem in Ace Combat games to have some obviously questionable direction but felt especially off in this one for some moments
Remake 3 already.
>>582891516That's not a good thing because any plane using the vulcan will have the weak gun sound. Imagine how sad it'd be if this game's super plane had a sad sounding gun.
Is the remaster of 0 any good or better to emulate?
>>582891837Instead of remaking 3 we should a direct sequel to 3 that takes place outside of the sim
why didn't they just nuke the capital of osea
>>582890447I did most of the middle section of the campaign with 3x FA-18F and 1x EA-6B.
>>582891837everyone wants a remake of 3 while I am out here wanting a remake of 1 or even Northern Wings
Rafale or Typhoon?
>>582891721It's good obviously, just what you'd expect from a main cast of big names and veterans.
>>582892140We wanted Usea
>>582891972Remaking 3 would be a good set up for post-3 shenanigans imo. OG 3 has a bunch of stuff that wouldn't really make sense if you were to remake it more or less 1:1. They'll never do it obviously, I don't think it's just that sound of an idea financially speaking. So yeah, the actual non-simulated Intercorpo War is where it's probably heading. >>582892228Never played either 1 or 2. Always kind of assumed they were pretty bare bones in regards to mission designs and so on.
>1000 enemies>anime music>somehow still less hype then PW's airwarcancel your preorders it's so over
>>582892252Gripen!
>>582892593I'm still mad it wasn't actual thousand enemies.
>>582892928The strongest!
>>582892931You know they would've done if the engine wasn't so demanding. I think having actual 1000 planes on the map would bring even the most expensive setups to their knees.
>>582893140They could just come in waves.
Only one (1) more sleep
>>582893264>wavesWhere's the fun in that? This ain't the promised Round Table.
>>582892252Rafale gets LACMs and LACMs are still gigabroken so Rafale.
>>582883585I did mission 9 a couple times, it's gives 175k per run and takes like 10-12 min
>>582892931I'm mad that the sky isn't full of contrails
>>582891721I'm not allowed to play the game yet so I'm just running off videos of the early missions, but from what I've seen the Japanese seems better.https://youtu.be/8fXV6H0TiIA?t=155https://youtu.be/LXpPAqL5UGA?t=948I compare the stupid dialogue of Tasha wanting a better name than Pinky in the third mission and the tone just seems worse in English.That said, I heard the Japanese version first (because there didn't seem to be as many prerelease videos in English) so it's possible I'm just preferring it because I'm used to it. Maybe there's an alternate timeline where I heard English first and I think that's better. Hard to be sure.
>higher kill count than Shadow 22
My first B on Mission 19, oof
>>582893745I S rank'd the whole game other than mission 28 because I didn't realize the "You have to use GUN" gimmick until it was too late and that mission is so long I said no way am i restarting that right now
>D.D is just doing this shit for the love of the game>Enso's whole money is chump change for himBASED
>>582894031Yeah I've been getting S ranks except for that and the radar one, because I screwed up at the last possible secondI know I could crush 19 with a super plane at some point but that other one will be a pain in the ass
>>582894031I fucked up by killing Shadow 22 with missiles so then I spent the next 8 minutes wasting my time with missiles.
>>582894234I got an S rank in the radar one even though I ended up getting spotted multiple times near the end. I think it's just based on time so as long as you full-throttle and take the shortcut you'll be fine. Oh, and you get points for aircraft that Joker flight shoots down near the end of the mission, not sure if they're always scripted to shoot them down or if you have to position yourself correctly.As for M19... pretty much anything with UGBs can easily S rank that mission, no need for a superplane. Mirage 2000, Berkut, F-15J all work.
The mission 28 shadows having infinite flares is legit gayer than Mihaly plot armor
Not enough spiral power in this game despite the promising trailer about carving spirals into the sky.

Kono needs to look at the last 10 minutes of Halo Reach and make something like that but in Ace Combat.
>>582889662It was piss easy.>>582890684You might be retarded.
I’m going to be replaying Mission 28 a lot in the future. I even enjoyed the Shadow fight at the end.
>>582873475I love my hon hon dorito. She's getting expensive though.
Why are so many Steam reviews talking about "fake frames", I thought this didn't even support framegen, much less turn it on by default.
>>582896245DLSS is fake frames too I guess. Since it downscales the native res and upscales it back using AI, providing better performance.
>>582896503I thought that was fake resolution while fake frames exclusively refers to framegen.
>>582891721the English is on par with older ACs for the most part imo, especially since Karen Strassman and Johnny Yong Bosch in the mix again. But JP Tasha > EN Tasha for sure, there's some great bits in JP like when she's grossed out by the first appearance of the drone swarms where it sounds like she's trying to wipe shit off her fingers. The top two Sotoans' penchant for ominous speeches comes off as far less awkward as well, feeling properly hammy and peppered in with more clear WW2 era Japanese military speech cliches instead of just autistic rambling
>no one acknowledges Rex flying into the bunker and taking out targets on Mission 24Fuck you too useless fucking ground units
>>582896571I honestly don't know. I guess anything that uses AI tech is fake and if the frames come from that then they're fake too.
>>582895112Jackpot 9 is Emu, tooAurelia rises
>Mission 29How the fuck do I stay focused when Twey is constantly doing her ASMR JOI routine
No damage on the megafloat sure is annoying. I was just going for S rank in free mission but the best I got before getting the S was 1% halfway in from some stray AA.
So what was the implication of Baxter starting to call Rex Ray too? His way of protesting wings of theve as an idea?
>>582896894Straight up tells you that she'll cut your balls off
>>582897468F-15E spamming cluster bombs from as high as possible.
I don't understand High G turns in this game
Must... protect... Tasha
>ADFX-02 is actually usable in the campaign and its not a Online exclusiveyou mean to tell me I could have just used a Morgan during the campaign this whole time?
>>582897805Turn harder but lose speed. Simple as.
>>582897805When using the super hornet, it handles it well, but sometimes it just doesn't want to, regardless of speed, I have to let go and try again one or two times, it's like taming a wild horse.
>>582898028They have a cooldown in this game compared to older entries
I just need to kill more sotoans, please let me bomb whatever's left of Sotoan ground and then I'll be happy. Just a million dead sotoan "civilians" and I'll be able to move on.
>>582885346>>582885034The most you might get is a GCAP in a number of years if they keep updating the game.
>>582897926You have to clear the campaign once to use ACO planes.
>>582897926It's only unlocked after beating the campaign once.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFmcRO4D6cM&t=45sOkay but did it need to go that hard? I'm in a plane not in Hell.
>>582897562I think the nickname just grows on him. You could also see it as the proof of the bond between you and your wingmates since Coster also calls you that later on.

>>582898096Ok that explains it. Is there an indicator or do you just have to get a feel for it
>>582898658it's just vibes I think
>>582898658You have to get a feel for it. Also they last longer so you can ride out a high G turn instead of having to spam microturns like in AC7.

>>582899380nah I had no real hope but they tickled my balls there, forced rt will finally dumpster me out of this hobby
7 million would be a hard number to beat.Also, I wonder what subtitle will 9 have.
>>582899739How come you're still on a 1060, that thing released 10 years ago and it wasn't exactly a strong GPU even back then.I know prices are crazy right now but they were pretty reasonable at several points in the last 10 years.
So do I have to get S ranks on babby modes to get all the medals/achievements? I'm taking another shot at Mission 21 and I figure I might as well mix it up a little if so

I was kinda hoping Project Aces would have gotten better with the whole online aspect, but this entire ACO thing feels like it dredged it's way out of Infinity's grave and is shambling around with zero QoL improvements.>Multiple currencies - ZOLL (Base), Ace Coins (Premium), Supply Tokens (Pseudo Premium), Blueprints (Upgrades)>Blatant pay to win through the battle pass>All aircraft start off with minimal features and need to be mobile game tier grinded to any functional level>Power level between a starter aircraft and a grinded aircraft are night and day>Grind locks off later tier aircraft so newbies won't stand a chance in a month or two>No rating-based matchmaking locks outside of Team Deathmwatch for some reason?
>>582899860I've been living on someone's couch a few times. To be honest I can play recent stuff like Dragon's Dogma fine, the city slowdown that most people get aside. It's an old piece of shit but cpu is usually the issue with modern gaming if you're fine with medium settings. Oh well, there's other shit.
>>582899979The only real difference between this and Infinity is that the P2W elements didn't really crank up till they started doing torunaments, whereas here it's right in your face.
>>582899979>zero QoL improvementsZero improvements would be better than what we got. It actually went backwards instead.
>>582899979>Multiple currencies - ZOLL (Base), Ace Coins (Premium), Supply Tokens (Pseudo Premium), Blueprints (Upgrades)Gacha type shit.
i heard about the 0 fiasco, fuck man i can't even fucking run 8 and they're making me download 140 gigs for 0? i do have the space but i'm not going to download 140 gigs just for 0
>>582900162ACI tournament planes weren't too bad. A lot of them sucked, and there were tree/non tournament specials that could do anything you needed. The real pay to win in ACI was just that you could pay to grind more/faster and get higher level planes. Higher levels were the more important thing.
>>582899789It was 7 million that took 6 years while also going for pennies every other sale a year after it launched. It probably made good numbers but a lot of people seem to overestimate how much money AC7 actually made.
>>582900750Honestly Zero works perfectly fine on the emulator. It's pretty much near perfect on pcsx2.
>>582900913I think it sold somewhere around 4m during the period that actually mattered iirc.
PS5 chads can't stop winning
it sold enough that it's pretty weird project wingman is the only copy
>>582901212last time someone tried we got H.A.W.X. out of it
>>582901145The PS5's popped Chad Warden collar is too powerful. I cannot fucking believe I'm unironically considering getting one just to play 8, I hate Sony man.>>582901212This specific type of game is just really hard to get right, that's why PW had such a long dev time from the time Arby was talking about it here to release. And Comic Anon's making At Skies' Edge which is in a pre-alpha state for the forseeable future. There's a reason the only other Ace Combat clones(for lack of a better term) that people remember are Air Force Delta Strike and HAWX.
Can someone explain to me why they don't just shit out multiple games in the same gen/engine anymore? look at 4, 5 and zero. Especially zero is essentially the same as 5 save some tweaks, adjustments and a few new mechanics. Most of the assets can be recycled, the story and gimmick just needs to be different enough. So why not do the same thing with 8 if it sells well?
>>582901827Because the entire gaming industry gaslit itself into believing reusing assets is bad now for some reason, because surely throwing more money at a project = it will be better right?
>>582900750Just emulate it you idiot. Emulation being something so foreign to the average gamer is fucking ridiculous. It's extremely easy.
The problem with heavy and demanding games nowadays is that not everyone can run them. Far from it. UE4 apps ran on toasters. UE5 apps can't be run at somewhat comfortable framerates unless your hardware falls into the ~mid-to-highend category. Couple that with GPU and RAM prices and it becomes even more difficult to have a wide reach, at least on PC. AC is also pretty niche, though this one must've had the biggest marketing budget out of all of them.
>>582902005FromSoft still recycles content a lot, and they're better off for it.
>>582901827The PS2 era was simply different. Now if you do that you're just another annual Ubisoft/Activision slopfest.
>>582902110It's hardly done any numbers on twitch

Just finished mission 15, I'm glad I am a foxhound main but it was still stupid that they were just outrunning me for 2/3 of the level. Fast and tanky is so annoying. >>582901809I had bought a ps5 just for Gran Turismo, now I have a whole 2 gaems for it
>>582902467It hasn't come out of the "advanced access" yet. On the other hand, 7 wasn't hot on twitch either.
>>582902669>I had bought a ps5 just for Gran Turismoi did that too, kek. what a fucking disappointment that game was
It took my way too long to realize that the Shadows' power levels are ranked not just by their #s but by what phase of the moon is depicted on their emblem with 22 having a full moon
>>582873527It's always been that way. I think Project Aces envisions it as new nuggets starting out in Normal, gitting gud at that difficulty, then doing it all over again each tier up. Meanwhle veteran buddies will just go on the highest difficulties asap and touch the lower ones only for the medals.
Man I'm glad they got rid of the multiplayer achievements for 8
>>582902669>>582902785I actually got the steelbook case for 7 because it came with a download for the PS4 version. While that version does run well, it doesn't change the fact that GT7 is a 7th game that is actual ass. Been a while since I was that mad at how a game turned out. The driving feels so good but it just doesn't have what the older GTs do.
>>582902384This is ace combat, you could just straight up reuse every single aircraft model and nobody would care as long as you'd add even a single new plane. It would also allow for more experimenal titles which I would welcome
I played for 20 hours, and now I have to wrok
Just did mission 26 I actually got choked up when Baxter died.
>>582903351I thought he was gonna have plot armor because of Kate
>Try Online for first time>Basic bitch F-4, whatever I can work with that>Team is similarly basic in equipment>Rival team has three MorgansHey assholes can you try leaving SOMETHING for the rest of us
>>582903148Never touched the MP in 7. Not even once.
>>582903148I guess, but I wish the campaign had more difficult achievements. These are too easy, after just one run I have almost all of them.
>>582903716>more difficult achievementsStory DLCs might add those.
>>582875209Also in one sitting and about the same, if I'm not counting restarts because I was doing a memeplane run for my first go. Wasted a good few hours crashing my brick with wings in tunnels, then restarting the whole mission because I knew time metrics meant that S-Rank was then unachievable
>>582903990I actually ended up taking the checkpoint restart twice in the campaign and got an S rank both times.They made S ranks really fucking easy this time, probably because shitters complained about Faceless Soldier too much in AC7.

Mission 30 wasn't that bad come on guys.
>>582903990I was actually surprised the amount of times I got away with a checkpoint reset while still getting an S on EliteAnd at least one of them was real late, too
>>582903637I'm guilty of this. Though in my defense I'm just using it until I can unlock the F-16 and then the F-15s.
>>582904123It wasn't awful but it's impossible not to compare it to the Alicorn fight if you've played 7+ It's just a boring unmanned sub and doesn't actually feel like a super weapon eitherIt was just sort've an anti-climax
>>582901827Because game journos complained about recycled assets and heavily docked the score if games in a series were too similar to each-other.
>>582904119>Squad leader always have dubsWatch me get trips.
Bamco didn't improve a single thing in Tekken 8's multiplayer when compared to 7 so I'm not surprised at all that AC8's mp is worse than infinity
so the sotoans stopping at stonehenge was nothing other than aura farming?
>>582904440improve? tekken 8 is like significantly worse than 7. AC8 at least removes some of the most terrible mechanics of Infinity but everything that's still bad in 8 was also like that in Infinity.
>>582904594All they do is aura farm
>>582904594Didn't they loot railgun ammo?
>>582904343Idk I feel like it worked well as an "epilogue" act where the scale and stakes usually retreat back from those in the climax. Defending the Endurance one last time was nice, music was good, a bunch of stuff is wrapped up in the background over the radio. Felt it was just fine.
HURRY THE FUCK UP IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOREVER TO SCAN ACES AT WAR
>>582904123>>582904343>>582904941Shooting down ballistic missiles that arrive like buses and move about as quick for 15 whole ass minutes is not entertaining.
>>582904750I'm strictly talking about lobby, mp content and such. I'm well aware of how much doo doo garbage the T8 gameplay is
>>582890142I still feel like Turntable was literally MADE for UGBs and for all the buddies who would fly into the Roca Roja tunnel in 7 MP. Same with how Mission 15 is just the MP experience of chasing a Foxhoud or Darkstar in singleplayer form.
>>582901212Play project nimbus

I've only been doing single player so far. What about the mp is so bad? Do you expect it to get better or is it fundamental stuff?
>>582905609This anon will not see the promised land.
Bruh
>>582905658It's in the multiplayer.Play game, get items. Pay more, get extra items. In two months it gets replaced by a new pass and anything you didn't get is gone, possibly forever.
>>582903194Yeah it was ok to drive on my g29, but everything else was so bland and I feel like the car selections were limited. At least some of the history stuff was cool.
Man, mission 14 sucks ass. Who the hell would want to ever replay that?
>>582905762See>>582899979Gacha economy, clunky menus, and zero way to filter out higher tier craft away from new players, or people who don't want to abuse the Morgan over and over.At minimum, the game is in desperate need of a craft rating filter for public matchmaking. Say <500, <1000, <1500 and No Limit.
>>582906064Idk, might be fun if Free mission lets you take a Foxhound. If you're stuck in the subsonic Intruder then it's going to be as bad as Final Option on replays.
>enemy team has more Morgans>enemy team winsGenuinely what in the fuck were they thinking?
>>582902506I love many things about AC8, but I think that I'll remember these stuff in particular with the same fondness I have when I look back to my buddy Pixy.
>>582906256Right now if you go PvPvE it's semi-doable because the average shitter running the Morgan has no idea what to do against SAAM sniping.
>>582906212I've got bad news
>i will punish them with a guided munition if necessary
5 Morgans and we couldn't crack Chandelier, man
>>582907064should've danced with the angels
>>582906740Only works against retards. I've come across squads of 4 TLS Morgans who will literally just delete your plane before you even realise theyre shooting you.Either the netcode is worse than 7 or it does like double the damage of 7s TLS. Also there's no sound and barely (if any) visual warning. Shits busted as fuck.

Do you think AC8 will lead to an Ace Combat 3 remake or side story
>>5829073127s TLS was a giganerfed version, it was pathetic
>>582907592It's probably going to be some another out-of-nowhere war or two before it gets to the Intercorpo shit. Remake is not happening, never ever. There's probably on or two more games standing between 8 and Intercorp war.
So apparently I have 35 universal plane upgrade tickets, but I can't use them on my F-14A because it requires specific F-14A tickets and not universal onesHow do I use these? Or exchange them? I think I missed one of the tutorials on this
>>582907592>Remake 0% chance>Intercorpo war actual being depictedeventually
What's up with Osean currency being the ZOG dollar?
>>582907882Oh, you have to go to the store while on the upgrade page to get specific upgrade ticketsThey really need someone to work on this UI, aside from this it's so slow and requires so many button presses to do simple shit
When the tonitrus spear hits and the clouds move, it should move me too if I'm close enough.Also I want more of that, much more
>>582902506fighter pilot valhalla and their ghosts being actually unironically real in ace combat is equal parts hilarious and genuinely touching
>>582908242It's a Japanese game. Shitty UIs just come with the experience. I'm so used to GBO2's dogshit UI that AC8s doesn't even bother me.
>>582907592It will lead to a sequel set right before 3 if the epilogue is anything to go by

>>582908669Idk man, the Space elevator is legit using a new model. And they could've easily reused the one from AC7.
>>582908742But it's kewl :(
>>582908669Project Aces is autistic and has redone shit like make cars actually driving models and overhauled their water system so waves look better, plus Cloudly changing up the skies. Plus Snider's Top and Waiapolo are locations they've been revisiting ever since AC3.
>>582908669>White Valley>Faith Park>Allenfort Base>ComonaWow I can't believe they reused assets from 20 years ago

>>582909658I've only played a handful of games so far and the first match I played ended up like this. A team full of F-4s and F-14s against our team with 3 Morgans and we fucking mulched them. >>582909792This would've been a great idea.
How do I use the general blueprints that work with anything? I have like 35 of them but they're seemingly unusuable when I go to upgrade.

>>582881450Memorize their kulbit patterns. They form a four-leaf clover and flare before going into the kulbits. very easy to get guns on them when you know which direction they'll turn. Follow them at high speed until they flare, then hit the brakes and line up for the gun run while they try to parthian shot you.Alternatively just cheese it with SASMs.

What happens if you're just a total asshole over the comms?
>>582903637>>582906256In pic rel the enemy team has 2 Morgans, we have none. If you get a team who knows what they are doing, it's easily winnable. I've seen a lot of unaware Morgan players die to LAAM from F-14s. But the imbalance is part of their business plan. People either need to grind play like 1000 matches to unlock the top rank planes, or pay bamco for the pass and get it instantly. >>582907882The description of the 'universal' blueprints is deceptive. They are not a replacement for the specific ones, later upgrades require BOTH kinds of blueprints. Also remember not to buy too many since you get 5 of them for free after playing 5 missions in the plane.
>>582911945The captain is the guy who's voiced by the same guy who did AWACS Thunderhead.
The Fort Grays bunker hermits subplot is extremely funny

Alright this game's retarded, I spent most of the game playing on medium with some stuff in low because the game would crash during the first couple of seconds of a cutscene if I didn't. Now that I'm finally done with the game and just testing stuff I decided to give it a shot with different graphical configurations.After numerous iterations my computer somehow can run the game on Ultra just fine. I stress tested it with Mission 22 for the railguns and Mission 28 for the amount of planes, firing MPBMs for lag effect and the game still runs at 60, yet I still crash often in cutscenes because UE5 shits itself and decides it doesn't wanna render anymore while seemingly a good chunk of the game still runs fine in the background as I still hear voices, effects and in 3 separate occasions I was able to interact with the menu,This is quite disheartening because shit's annoying as fuck and who knows if they'll ever fix it but on the other hand the fact that I can run the game part of AC8 on ultra without any issues is nice to know. Shit's retarded and I'm frustrated.
Is there any way of getting these blueprints consistently or is it an actual rng grindfest?
Holy shit the ground units are useless, God how I miss Warlock...
Alright does the final mission have a Tunnel Run?
>>582874314IM IN THIS VIDEO
>>582915729Tunnel run is 27.
No,but you can fly through a tunnel in the final mission for the hell of it.
>>582913679>OHHH OHHH OHHHH OHHHHHAOOUU OHHHAOOUU
why doesnt my life have a tunnel run?
>>582915790There are optional tunnel runs before that tho
>>582913679For me it's Gaffed Card
>>582915679Warlock was also useless without your intervention.
Hmm, Today, I will shoot down a parachuting enemy
I know that stuff like a translation fix patch is gonna take a while but how long do you guys think we're gonna have to wait for model mods like changing the Su-33 for the J-15?
https://youtu.be/weAhEMpT87kSomeone already managed to get UEVR running already for this game. Wonder how long it'll take for a HUD to get made/possibly ported of AC7's UEVR mod

>>582916920I hate Sotoan niggers and their dumb ass battle chanting
>wingman are actually useful and responsive to orders PA finally did it. Bravo.
>>582917198Consider playing Zero, or 6.
>>582917198They'd done it before, it's just that 7's wingmen may as well have not existed at all.
I can't decide if I like the OST more than the 7's OST. I think 7 clears on the instrumental part but 8's best tracks all feature lyrics.
>>582917140It's worth it, grinding them out naturally takes forever, and it's 1K for every plane regardless
>>582916317Looks cool. I'm bummed by the fact that 8 doesn't feature a full fledged VR support by default.
>>582917275>>582917257>>582917198
>>5829172576 was way too far >Btw you can call in an orbital bombardment that makes the un-nerfed Nosferatu look balanced every few seconds
>There was a war between Sotoa and Yuktobania in 2010>The Circum-Pacific war also happened in 2010, between September 27–December 30
>>582917275I wonder why they did that after they already showed they could be useful in 6 . 7 is more egregious because you really need help fighting off drone swarms when they want you to do some bullshit.
>>582917667>>582917257Shamrock will damn near solo most missions with the CFA it's hilarious.
>>582917848le dev hell or somethingalso for all the praise 7 gets for working on actual fossil record potato PCs, you can tell there are compromises in mission design, CPU AI and enemy count to do so
go back to playing anon, these missions wont clear themselves
>>582917848Probably a casualty of the dev hell it went throughIt's kind of crazy thinking about what 7 could've been like if it had the kind of support/development 8 did
https://x.com/ApriliaBelka/status/2105342597195796905 >mfwDid it work like this in 7? Does this work in multiplayer? Can you imagine the 1v1 autists flipping around in circles for 27 minutes straight?
>they got lindsey stirling to do a thing for ac8Based>never listened to a single one of her performances>just a hot gymnast
Scramble is already dead when its avaliable. Hope you're playing Co-Op Warfare because it's next!
>>582913452They're pretty close. Felon has better stats but only 6 slots for weapons(which is not at all made up by also having 6 slots for the body, there are at most 5 parts you actually want). Both have LACMs and HCAAs which are pretty good but the Felon's QAAMs have more potential use than the F-35s 8AGM.Overall I'd give a slight edge to the F-35 due to being a carrier plane.But Honestly the Rafale is just a better F-35 because LAAMs are still bonkers strong
>>582918374>literally making that scene from Maverick into an actual skillThey really really liked that movie huh?
>>582917380Hard disagree. The lyric songs sound like anime dub songs
all you need is flankers
Without actively keeping up with the info trickling in, somehow I got the impression dropping ships on another is a tactic. Was I wrong, or did I do mission 11 unoptimized? Three of them almost stacked, I shot down the top one but it didn't affect bottom two. One wing at a time, or my total misunderstanding?
>>582918865Yeah but I think it kind of fits on account of Ace Combat basically being a playable anime about fighter jets
>tewy accurately predicting your moves before you even make them when you fight her
>>582918374The 1v1 autists in 7 basically spammed PSMs at each other until one managed to line up an EML shot for 5 minutes, yeah.
>>582919315They're not perfectly stacked, I had better luck dropping the refueling and ECM planes on themI managed to get at least one pair crashing into each other though, that was rad
>>582919315It works, but I think specifically for those three the middle will take out the bottom, but the top doesn't take out the middle. The things also start evading after a while so you can't take too long to do it.
>>582919449I noticed that shot down enemies have a form of magnetism too where they'll very obviously track nearby enemies to crash into
>>582919434>The 1v1 autists in 7 basically spammed PSMs at each otheri can just imagine how retarded that would look from far away, lol
Kinda sad how Bax went out[. One hell of a concussion and shrapnel. At least he went to space once/spoiler]
These Emergency Sorties don't seem possible for low level aircraft.
>>582919731It IS Infinity 2.0 after allACI was also similiarly impossible at the start because everyone was stuck in level 1 shitboxes
>>582919434Yea, I knew that much, but I don't remember PSMs removing missile lock. >>582919632It looks as retarded as you think it does, yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuuWGFxQ8ig

do we have a squadron for ACO?
>>582920240I haven't seen one yet.
>>582920240I guess I'll make one in a bit.
>>582919354Note the post said dub. It sucks when songs like Blurry, Gotta Stay Fly, In The Zone and Blue Skies remix exist.
Why did it take a single jeet to finally create a remaster of Ace Combat 3?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_NVTy2Aofw
Some of these Sotoan skins are really nice. Too bad I'll never get access to them in multiplayer.
Alright, finished the campaign I am gonna spoiler this anyway, but I thought the ending was kinda weak. I dunno, was kinda wanting to get my mind blown or something. The final mission was very underwhelming too, guess due to consequence of them blowing their load earlier. Its disappointing that we never got to see an inch of sotoa, except technically for the ending sentence that is.
>>582920691Probably because it's a shit game so the shit people are perfectly in tune with it.
>>582919840If PSMs break missile lock now they'll be stupidly busted in MP.
>>582916920>shooting down parachuting pilots>honorthe nippon way of honor yeah
>>582920979That was pilot valhalla technically
>>582920979I have to wonder if Cope's ghost sticking to Rex ended up being a purely spiritual thing means that Project Aces is setting up having a equivalent of Newtypes within the setting. The series needs to be even more gundam.
>>582918374this is how it always go. missiles are worthless in ace combat against real people that know the game. railgun is meta because you can actually hit people with it
up to mission 23the game is not schizo enough, i was expecting more mindbreak shit, those always make the best stories
How'd you all do on your bingo cards?
After seeing what the land battleship can do and take in return I am now confident that it would solo an Arsenal Bird

>DD's fake Wings of Theve squadron pic becomes true at the endkino
If Pilot Valhalla is a real thing is the entire game just Rex's own instance? An entire world set up for him to be the super ace
does anybuddy know if sod counts as a bomb or a a2g missile?
>>582923353bomb parts affect it, so its a bomb
>>582922641Depends if its main guns can punch through the Arsenal Bird's APS or not. >powerscaling

>>582930052I'm pretty sure speed is a factor.
>>582916920>honour lol no
>>582929739Smartphones weren't that big of a deal in 07. Neither their general capabilities, nor the overall net bandwidth allowed for streams of dogshit everywhere. Sure you could browse web 2.0 and watch RWJ or stupid cat videos on youtube or whatever. That's about it. If you want to argue smartphones as one of the real culprits then the year would be ~2014.

Guess I'll save up for the F-35 and F-22 on my 2nd run. I've also skipped all the attackers so I want to grab those too. I don't think I'll be touching the super-planes until my 3rd run.
>>582931339there are three if you have the balls to do it
>anons so ancient are joining the squadron that you can trace their names back to the /aceg/ assault records
>>582932552Calm down, Retard 1.
>>582932706what's the squadron name?
>>582932803404th
Anyone know the XP per rank? I saw a guy in a growler earlier and I need to know how much he nolifed for it.
Why is the plane listso little? Are they going to monetize that shit for multiplayer because I see shit like YF-23 and the ADF-11F occasionally.
>>582932867just applied
>>582932938As far as I can tell it's 100 points a game.
What are the yellow coins for that come after zol
>>582932418>>582932564my only big issues with online so far are the small amount of missions and HOW SHORT THEY ARE. You can legit complete almost all of them within an hour.
i like that your squadron is actually kinda useful this time around. they did jack shit in ac7you can even stick them in a growler and they'll ECM you and shit. it's nice, altho i find myself forgetting to tell them what to do sometimes
>>582933041I know that, I want to know how many points/games you need to rank up for the later ranks.
What now
>>582932693They don't even acknowledge if you do that one, I felt betrayed when I did it.
>>582933170Even more annoying is that scrambles and emergency sorties seem way too rare
>>582933115look it up
>>582932867>404thMight as well apply, I kind of miss my old buddies from ACI years. Changed my name so you may not recognize me at first I’m that fellow who overloaded his vanilla morgan to ungodly levels, and I intend to do the same to the ADFX-02
I feel an evil energy radiating from these stores.
>Every role gets a post-game superplane>except for attackerswhat the fuck is this, PA
Wait, no meme planes with sci-fi weapons this time around? I always fly f-15 but still.
Why do I keep seeing people glaze giving the wingmen EW planes, that shit runs out in like 2 minutes after toggling SP weapons and they don't shut it off if you disallow SP again.
>>582933335Which one? Every tunnel run I've done has been commented on
>>582933687It's really useful for the Shadow fights, pretty useless for anything else.>>582933765Going inside the Turntable in mission 24
My back hurts...We lost
>>582934032>>582890462
I've never had the Arsenal Bird yet, but I have had the Alicorn and the Chandelier multiple times. Which tells me statistically that you're better off taking a bomber, even if if fucks you against the Arsenal Bird.
>>582934226hmm, maybe I went in at a bad time when they were busy with the mission script then, because I did go in twice to clean up and never heard that
So what does the Drop Tank part actually do?
>>582934561Nothing, it's just there for people who like dropping fuel tanks for aesthetic purposes.
First I experienced this: die three+ times in a mission (or same checkpoint?) and Cope comments don't join me yet
>>582934653goddamm autists
>>582934674i think its randomized, had it when i died the first time on a mission too
>>582934047>get 3 top notch experimental planes>the combined score is less than that of a half-a-century old rust bucket It's like taking a couple of music lessons and buying the most expensive piano you can buy. And it's probably a good thing because you wouldn't want the online to be truly p2w
>>582934912Really, I thought it's the game finally telling me try something else
sweet>>582934047Teach me your secrets, oh old soviet ghost
If you use the ADFX-01 with railgun in PvP you're a massive bitch.
I'm honestly surprised PA didn't go further in changing the skill expression in AC8. Considering the made the planes heavy as FUCK to the point that going back to AC7 makes them feel weightless. Granted they went overboard with some craft, the Frogfoot is a dogshit meme and taking it in PvP/vE is bordering on trolling. Even with the cluster bombs it's just too slow.I feel like something else they could have done is honestly make it so flying very low to the ground actually confuses missile lock intermittently ala Top Gun Maverick. Imagine pulling that shit out in PvP and forcing the guy behind to resort to guns.
>>582935801if you use the ADFX at all in PVP you're just a faggot
I wonder what kind of story we'd manage to cook up If every /aceg/ anon was to write a single mission-lengthy script.
>>582931713Fucking basedToo many turdworlders who think they're hot shit because they qaam spammed in ac4
>>582936492ThisCertified brown flag.
>>582932564>Queue up>Connection timed out>Booted back to main menuThe fact that it straight up doesn't work for some people?
>>582874836THANK YOU PURPLE MAGICYOUR SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN
>>582935428Nta but the fish bed seems to always be a sleeper because PAces is funny like that
Imagine if Daredevil had lyrics like Everflow does. >Yes/No
>>582936991funny enough PA already did that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLfTnFUFkiA
>>582936537I wouldn't be creative, I would literally just plagiarize the last act of lost planet 2Yes, a fucking huge railway cannon would be involved
>>582923604I applied now. Name's TheSlyfwor
>>582935928I'm too deep now to pull out on trying to get the A10 to level 20, but I also got the Frog to level 10. Its rough out here. People are starting to mid range multiroles and they just wipe the floor, because all missions have air and ground targets or just air targets.The only mode where attackers can pull ahead consistently are boss fights. And you're right its because you have no way to avoid missiles in ways other planes dont already do better.
>lyrics in ACHow quickly they forgethttps://youtube.com/watch?v=QOL1_w9EwSc
>>582931713As long as they're better than standard missiles that's good enough for me
>>582937952the fullback is actually really good by virtue of the fact that it goes fast, you can stack speed parts, and get 30 UGBLs as it's second SpWif you are ignored, you win the game for your team, and if you aren't you can likely outrun them. it also has bullshit fast deaccel so if you need to loiter you can do so on a dime
>>582937724I wonder how many halo reach last stands we'd get.
>>582938326Personally I wouldn't consider the Fullback an Attacker in the same way the Frogfoot or A-10 is. The Fullback in this game is a LARPing Multirole.
>>582938215this song's only crime was being a replacement for Fire Youngman
>>582938225They're somehow worse. I've never hit a single one in my Su-33 in the 14 matches I've used it in, even on slow moving planes.
They actually marked every aircraft in the Lux Lunae 22nd squadron and you get different dialogue depending on which order you shoot them down itPure fucking ludo.
>>582938680That sounds like they're genuinely broken.
>>582938782Probably. A lot of people aren't using the non-US planes in my lobbies so I guess people haven't really tried them out.
>>582937952yeah missions are >too short>not enough threatening ground-based enemies>not enough enemies in generalthe spawns on average benefit multiroles more than fighters, and significantly more than attackers. the only time i'd entertain an attacker is during an emergency sortie, because the coin is going to flip in your favor more than not.
>>582938782Just spam HVAAs you bozo. They work just fine if you're not shit at flying.
>>582923604Thanks. Now i'm '04 as well
>>582935928I truly don't see how they could make attackers both feel like attackers and also be good. Su-34/F-15E don't really feel like attackers and are pretty good. Su-25SM and A-10C feel like attackers and they're complete dogshit. Like even in a mission with zero air targets they're just dogshit because they're carrying the same A2G SPWs as multiroles while being far slower and clunkier. The extra health they get is almost entirely meaningless.
>no x-40 in mpGuess the real nightmare is the plane level grind.
>>582938943The F-16 doesn't have HVAAs.
IF YOU USE THE TLS MORGAN ACTUALLY KILL YOURSELF
>>582939763excuse me I paid for this plane
>>582939224Personally, I'd start focusing on role-based boosts, innate attributes to specific roles that affect the airframe and the munitions.>AttackersDamage reduction from enemy fire.Longer unguided bomb arc.Longer guided bomb lock-on range.>FightersLonger air-to-air lock-on range.Larger supply of standard missiles.More flares.>MultirolesYou get nothing from these suggestions because you're getting versatility in your arsenal. Your power is fitting into any situation.
>can't get past M28 due to drivers keep crashingUE5 and AMD gpu is a match made in hell
>>582939936>using an AMD gpu >ever you did this to yourself
What the fuck is the S score requirement for M28? I keep falling short.
>>582939904there already are role based boosts, fighters do higher damage against air targets but less against ground, other way around for attackers, multiroles are there too
>>582936537I'd sacrifice myself and be the guy who writes mission 01, with the sacred task of introducing 3 different plot points that will never be followed up on.
>beelined to the F-15s and F-22s>Locked to the shit ass F-14 for carrier missions until I save up enough for the lame-o f-35BOOOO
>>582940367The problem is this doesn't matter. The Morgan shits on everything with its special regardless of what it is and it's constantly cucking Attackers both in speed of engagement and damage.
>>582923604Joined, first and last of usename is a_z
I'm halfway through the game and I still don't know why Sotoa is doing what they do, did I miss something? Did 303 say 'hey nomads take these bigass land ships and satelite tungsten rod dropper and go find your new home'?
>>582939936The "release date" patch will save us.
>>582939763You're playing before the 1st, you can use it too, in fact, this is the only time it's fair to use it.Faggot
>shoot down everyone in mission 8where is that last shadow
>>582940784I don't a fucking autoscore crutch like you do.
>>582923604Request sent.
This game was so much fucking fun
>>582940518it only really matters for fighters because 2 missiles minimum for every ground target fucking sucks
Everflow or shadow theme?
>>582935801It doesn't have a railgun you idiot.
>>582941084>DOEah, that does tie in nicely huh
>>582941124For me it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVH5Hp__FYBut Everflow is good too.
>>582941182It even looks and functions like a production version of the Raven
do you actually get a lot of points for using ecm in mp?
I will be confusing Everflow with Everglow and keep making this typo for the rest of my life. Doesn't help that G and F keys are right next to each other.
has anyone datamined 8 yet? I want the texture on the Endurance crew caps so I can embroider my own
The Su-47 is very disappointing, the Su-33 turns better than it
>>582940404The F-18s are right there retard
>land to resuply>select new sp weapon>menu closes>game soft locks me in the cockpitGREAT TIME FOR IT TO HAPPEN 15 MINUTES INTO THIS FUCKING MISSION
>>582940404>shit ass F-14Get some taste you fucking animal
>browns are already post-stalling in multiplayer
>>582942590Git gud
>>582940367They do? Most air targets die in 2 missiles even when you're flying an attacker, and everything but tanks takes 1 missile, again even in an attacker. So what's the fucking point? Do attackers do like 5% extra damage against ground targets that never hits any meaningful breakpoint?If attackers could at least kill tanks or some other 2-hit targets in 1 missile they might be worthwhile but they just can't, even with the part that increases ground damage for standard missiles.
>>582942691Fevella monkey
the X-40 is kind of a shitbox, I'm underwhelmed
>>582941927yes they turned into a midgame plane this time around, instead of like the endgame/chase plane for some reasoni think its coming from a good place where they wanted to give berkut enjoyers earlier access to their favorite plane, but it does feel out of place being so sluggish
The orchestral version of Everflow with an electric guitarOr the in-game one without it
>>582939936>>582940069Works on my machine. AMD 9070 XT, 26.9.2 drivers, not a single crash in the entire campaign and framerate is smooth as hell, 100+ FPS at 1440p TSR native.It does drop in cutscenes to like 70ish but I don't really mind my framerate dipping in cutscenes.
Am I throwing if I play multiplayer in first person, I've never played any of these games in third person before
>>582943001Much easier to see where your plane is going in third person rather than guessing where your nose is in first person
>>582942590I really wish they'd done something to make it so you can't spam that shit.
>>582938326The thought of leveling another plane to 20 makes me want to suicide. The grind is crazy.
>>582940367I wonder if its a tier thing>Using fishbed against shin godzilla>Weakpoints take 2 missiles>Also accompanying aegis ships have relatively large health pools and require a particularly unhealthy strafing run at low speedsVs>Using berkut against shin.godzilla>Weakpoints take 1 missileThe fuck is that
If you didn't S-rank the whole game on Ace using the exact plane with zero upgrades that was handed to you at the start of your very first playthrough then you didn't beat the game.
>>582943150Just take gun upgrades and shred them when they do it, it's not that hard.
>>582938894Im coping by pretending the A10s rocket spam will be obscene and I will be able to recoup the cost in emergency sorties. Every single level adds +rockets but you dont get them until you unlock level 20.
>>582940404I bet you didn't even clap when maverick and rooster stole that tomcatBloody bitch basterd
>>582943001First person is the most based way to play but you're better off switching back and forth in multiplayer as necessary because you get so much more visibility in third person which makes it better for dogfights.
>>582940710Honestly what the fuck is with PA writing that tiny ass nations like belka and sotoa have access to literal Wolfenstein Jewish magic
>>582943150It's only the fucking Morgan it seems. They flip and the cluster ground targets
>Go up to bar expecting to be able to pick/deselect the music I want to play>It's just a dialogue prompt and nothingk
>>582941594I dont think you get anything for using ECM. Only hits/kills give points. AC needs to look at how Wardogs does points. Everything you do should pay out.

>>582943662Germany was a small country.
How long until they remove denuvo and eac?
>>582943790Is there meant to be a prompt? I don't see anything.
>>582944042HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fellow njudeafags what drivers are you using right now
>>582943128>>582943648>>582943804I feel like I've been MVPing and winning dogfights pretty consistently using only first person hud, I don't really need more than the arrow and the radar to keep track of where they are in my head. Holding triangle for a quick peek isnt really disorienting either, but I've seen clips of people doing PSM shit and that doesn't seem like it would go well in first person.
This time tomorrow
>>582943913Germany is a small countryThe odds of running into a genuine tank in 1944 was hilariously smallThe odds of being attacked by an American plane was hilariously highMeanwhile the only super weapon sotoa is missing is a fucking train
>>582944042Most denuvo contracts are like a year I think? They'll probably renew it though
>FightersI'm a tryhard who needs to use any advantage I can get to win because mommy and daddy never said I love you enough>MultiroleIm indecisive, bisexual and scared of commitment >Electronic I want to be a heal slut but planes don't cast spells >AttackersI move my gigantic cock and balls under my ass when I sit down because I like the pain
Do you think there will be DLC
>>582944569That didn't stop them from fighting a world war. Strangereal is an exaggerated setting in the first place. I think you may just have a touch of the tism
>>582944972Most likely.
>>582944964>Im indecisive, bisexual and scared of commitment 2 out of three, at least.
>>582944964You forgot the 3rd kind of ace>Anon, the kind of faggot who thinks hes funny
>>582945129Because they were fighting other small countries, and got stonewalled when they got to the big countries.
>>582945204But I know I am
What are the chances they add cost limits/tiers to multiplayer modes other than deathmatch? I was hoping they'd copy GBO2 in that regard.
>frogfoot completely locks up at high speedsHey this isn't war thunder
>>582945712Considering the rightful complaining about it, I'd hope soon. They can't let matchmaking not only not even try to make teams balanced, but also have no cost limits.
>>5829457120. Wont be enough players in a couple months anyway.
>>582944964attackers are the cuck plane for cuckboys who have to shoot at ground targets that can't fight back
>>582945712They should, holy what were they thinking with implementing shit and pay2win planes on day 0 and just saying "jobs finished". That so negatively impacts the shared experience
The day one patch will save this game.
>>582945884Why would you turn, just carpet bomb the map. The store has multiple parts to buff cluster munitions, I bet it makes them absurd.
>>582945884The su47 might as well be a brick through the window at max speeds, only plane I've tried so far that feels not shit at max speed is the mig31
>>582945938The divorce was your fault and you are not a good pilot
>>582945938Attackers win games because they actually score
>>582945938At least in singleplayer the SAMs are persistent enough that they can consistently keep me in missile lock, and I feel like when combined with flak and AA the 3 forms of anti air ground fire are so much more engaging than they've ever beenI have no idea how it is in MP
>>582946279sorry bro can't hear you in my morgan. everything is dead by the time an attacker gets to it
>>582946279More like multiroles with UGBs win games because they destroy all the targets while the attackers are still flying into the combat zone.

What is the purpose of fighters in multiplayer PVE? Nothing?

>Okay that was my last match>Oh shit a scramble>Okay that was my last match>Oh shit an emergency sortieI see their game
>>582946502>>582946420Not to give away my super duper secrets but because all the missions do ground > air > ground with no variations you actually can MVP with attackers. You just have to use your brain and rush the ground at the start and do your best, then ignore the air phase. Go to the third phase area instead and wait, then the second it starts you can obliterate everything before the Morgans even get there.
total morgie death all morgie users deserve the wall
>>582946502Unfortunate but true. They could have added score multipliers to specific targets so you're incentivized to actually perform your role. >attackers get 1.5x to ground targets>fighters get 1.5x for air targets>multirole gets 1x for any target>electronic gets 1x for any target but assist points for targets destroyed while buffing team mates or against debuffed targetsBonus amounts obviously up for debate.
>>582946569I want that Morgan in campaign PA
whats the targettedbonus in multiplayer?
>>582946730Fighters/Multirole are the only types that matter objectively. Electronic is fine in theory but because they don't earn XP/money doing what they do its pointless, and Attackers are the real losers in that Multirole does the exact same job but better.
>>582946914What a retarded, unplaytested mission format

>>582947254This multiplayer is genuinely irredeemable dogshit but might as well suck what enjoyment we can before people realise how unbalanced it is and end game planes start ruining it even moreso than Morgans are.

The real question is, is little bee better or worse than huxian

>>582948157She's so fucking cute
>>582948193Wrong
do you think we killed stiria's wife on the megafloat when the reactor blew
>fishbed convergence on the guns and the MGP are differentGreat for air to air I'm sure but what the fuck?
>>582948193I would fucking kill for a mission like this in the multiplayer. Why couldnt we just get what EDF has.
I need a mod that lets the F-15E carry gunpods
>>582948157betterCount clears all Ace 8 squad members though
>>582948412hopefully they'll add stuff to the multiplayer and it's not just tacked on abandonware. the fact that they planned to monetize it at least gives me hope they plan to support it
>>582948412>tally 1000 banditsbut it's actually 1000 bandits split between 8 players
>>582948479I need a mod that allows double equipping gun pods but also linking them to be equipped at the same timr

>>582948864They barely improved ACI when it was alive, I wouldn't expect any major changes to ACO
So the PC port of ACZ is either 4:3 or 16:9 aka 4:3 with black bars. Got it.
>>582948909You could write a subplot about a drone having an experience every time you shoot him down and it would be kinoKinda like how Armored core6 did that thing where the one guy got more woke with every new game loop
Will AC8 get some sidestory dlc
>>582949353It most likely will, anon. You asked this like 20 minutes ago.
>>582949068all of the cool shit people post whenever someone mentions ACI 1.0 came at the midpoint of its lifespan like the excalibur level IV raids or the special planes that changed their HUDs like the piston fighters and AC3 specials
>>582948909>>582949289whichever evil engineer corpo/nationalist scientist that launches the drones should be shit talking you over comms while you fight them
>>582949179Some cutscenes and menus are 4:3, the gameplay is all full screen though
>>582946836I dont even want to do these other missions, just let me boss fight.
>>582949438All I remember is lol godzillaWho would've thought we would fight shin godzilla in ace combat 8
>>582949027I was meaning more in terms of appearances in missions and not just cutscenes. Huxian was really only in a handful of missions, mostly in the latter part of the game. Kate is there from the start and Joker consistently works with Queen Flight through out most of the game until their demise.I think AC8 in general did a decent job with their central cast compared to how AC7 was all over the place with its cast and squadmates cycling in and out so fast.
>>582932463>>582929770WHERE IS MY FUCKING CODE THERE IS NO SECOND PACKAGE
>>582949446That wouldn't be half as long as a robot thinking statistically you're fucked, and then you, over the course of many battles throughout a war, show that you are in fact a singularity, a divide by zero
>>582949639Huxian and the enemies getting 80% of their personality and chatter in the DLC makes me think we need a rewritten do-over of 7Speaking of where the fuck are the updrafts?
>>582946914Ok but multiroles are straight up better at killing ground targets than attackers are, that's the issue. Aside from the F-15E which is the only attacker that has decent top speed. Attackers only get extra health, it's not like their UGBs are better than the ones you can load onto multi-roles or even fighters. An F-15J with UGBs is legit a better ground pounder than the Su-25SM or A-10C.
>>582949749>LongMeant kino, fucking gay autocorrect
>>582949929I have thought about wether it would be a positive buff to give attackers the ability to launch all visible munitions at will rather than the artificial two munitions per salvo as per tradition
>>582949450You're right. No idea why it didn't properly apply the first time.
>>582950198That's basically how Project Wingman handled it and it worked just fine. Made the Su-25 a viable option on A2G missions because it could load up on like a gajillion MLAGs(4x MLAG-2 which can lock onto 8 targets + 8x MLAG for 8 more targets) and wipe whatever ground forces are in front of you in 1 big salvo.
>>582950198How about>Considering that a pay2unlock super plane with super weaponsIs going to negatively affect anyone who opts out of not using itThis is the first AC game where planes are allowed to feel like flying bricks, what the fuck were they thinking locking shit off to war thunder-y tiers and then just saying "fuck it, play with your toys, oh and you have to share the playground with the other kids"And this playground has 7 fucking other kids in itThat's a lot of fucking kids for an ace combat coop mode at "difficulty tier 1"
>>582949437Shit im blind
>>582950394>Project aces is basically [insert swedish studio here]Who the fuck wouldn't have play tested this for freeDo some fucking play testing fucking morons

>>582951189Oh fuck I am the bitch bastard
>>582950927There's also a point in the game where they used what's when they shouldn't have. The game's unplayable.
>>582951223>Excited to hop on MPI pray you don't have the instant connection timeout that I do
PULL UP PULL UP(bake a new one(not me though))

>>582952445>>582952445>>582952445>>582952445Fly you fools.
>>582952170I can't believe project aces of all things found a way to outdo warframe and the first descrndant for least enjoyable multiplayer experience
