total Sotoan death
LET ME IN THE ONLINE MODEI HAVE DAILIES TO DO
How are people struggling with the XB-70 mission? just bring a an F-14D with SAAMs and LAAMs
Do Scrambles even exist? I haven't gotten one yet
Isn't it supposed to be live already? I preloaded and everything
>mfw the promised land is real
>>583062471A lot of people seem unaware that you can still do chip damage with guns while your waiting for your missiles to reload and the Ladons slowdown to give you ample time to unload into them
>>583062663It is live.
>>583062471I saw someone in the last thread mention others were complaining about mission 15 and I legitimately had to go back and look up what that mission was because I couldn't remember. Do people not use MGs or something because that mission was hardly a footnote when I realized they were incredibly fucking slow
>unpacking files>estimated time: 3hWhat the fuck was the point of preloading then?
>>583062471it's really easy if you unload into both of them when they slow down after the first pass because then you can shoot the second one down before it ever pulls out the new weapons
!PLEASE ATTACH A PLAYER COMMENT WITH A HINT TO SHOW YOU'RE FROM THE THREAD IF YOU WANT TO JOIN THE SQUADRON!
>the ost is still not up on shittify Lol
>>583063008I just got done how much space do you have on your drive?Using an NVME with 300gb free before I installed
>>583063008preload is only ever for those with shit internet. if you have decent down speeds just download it on release.
>>583062935If you bring a dogfight focused loadout(like HVAAs) you're going to see the main gimmick, struggle because HVAAs have mid damage and long reload, and then get the wrong idea that you need MORE SPEED, pick the Mig-31, and then struggle even harder.If you just bring 4aams or 6aams or HPAAs from the start you're going to S rank the mission in 3 minutes.
>>583062935I made one comment supporting an anon on how dogshit I think the FOV is for cockpit camera and suddenly that means the XB70s are impossibleCalm the fuck down
Screw the land battleships, kinetic bombardment satellites and the Night Raven junior. The Ladons are clearly more effective superweapons.
>get disappointed when friendly ships don't shout VAMPIRE VAMPIRE VAMPIRE when anti ship missiles are inboundthink I've played a little too much Sea Power
>not enough space to unpack the preloadfucking knew this shit was pointless time to download the full 140gb again
/aceg/ ONLINE MULTIPLAYER PROGRESSION GUIDEReposting in the new thread.>https://files.catbox.moe/g0cq7z.pngIt only covers actual progression (getting and upgrading aircraft), not all time wasters involved with character/profile cosmetics.>I'm not reading all this, how do I get started?Just play missions to unlock better planes. After ~10 missions (You) will unlock a range of low rank options, and have enough currency to buy a plane you like then start upgrading it.>I'm not reading all this, how do I get started?
I get it's pretty hard to top the Alicorn, but I expected a bit more of the advanced submarine in the last mission. That thing was tiny. The voice was interesting though.
>>583063272SAAMs have the same 2-3 missile power of HVAAs and maintain their lock even if you switch weaponsThe 2MSSL + 2 HVAA + 2 SAAM combo is easily a 10 missile damage combo
Wants to roll back AMD drivers what?
>>583063457I did put it in the OP and moved everything relevant to AC8 up. Just so you know.
>>583063394>Have 180-300 gigs free in each of my SSDs>OUT OF SPACE TO WRITE REPLAY FILeAlso>Perpetual static green player arrow on the map at all times separate from mineBuggyAssGarbage
>You fucked up Erusea so badly in 7 that even a decade later their economy relies on mercenarieslol
What's the verdict on Tasha
>>583063503That only works if you have both SAAMs and HVAAs. If you go all in on HVAAs or even HCAAs(the mission tells you to equip A2A, so you might assume that means weapons that are good in a dogfight) then it's going to be way harder. And from the posts I've seen here and from my friends they all get the wrong idea that you need speed and go all in on that instead of just going for DPS.
>>583063550Yeah roll back to stabler driver set and get literally sub 20 FPS lol
>>583063864Not bloodthirsty enough for me.
>>583063878I always equip HVAAs since the long range is handy for alpha striking even aces in other games while I SAAM othersHell it worked a few missions before idk why you would put all your eggs in one basket
>>583063864She exists
>>583063864She's no KateKate's a fuckin icemanTasha is emotional and confused
there are so many bad missions in 7, i don't know how people can defend that
>>583063864Raaaay~
Mutiplayer will shit itself again. time to enjoy campaign.
Let me guess the black guy dies
>>583063864I like Kate more.
Bout to play first time... Preloaded, Mike's Harder acquired...The fuck you MEAN "unpacking"
Okay, so I understand the mission where the Endurance breaks through the Rainband.What I don't understand is why didn't the ship get Tonitrus Spear'd during the rest of it's time behind the Rainband? It was definitely there longer than 90 minutes. Unless it can only do attacks on the line on the map? That wouldn't explain how they shoot them near Comona though. Also for that matter how did they Spear Rio Bajo? It's way ahead of the Rainband.
>>583063982I tried my best to guide her onto the path of annihilation, but I failed in the end.
Man, AC:Z is actually HARDThese AI planes literally stick to your ass with the same level of maneuverability you have and trying to hit them with normal missiles is genuinely challenging
>>583064528It only needs the laser designating for precisely targeting things like enemy ships or planes, it doesn't need precision to hit a city
>>583063864Very Japanese coded methinks. Probably more entertaining to listen to in JP than in EN. I reckon she's one of those characters that just don't translate well into English.
>>583064410>Will shit itself againIt's been an ongoing shitshow owing to the people playing it (to no fault of their own) and by being another testament to the inability of the Japanese to handle online games You're implying it's In a working state whereas it's clearly fucked on multiple levels and for varying degrees for everyone
Any time now...
Maybe Torres was right
>>583062706It's funny that Tewy tips her fedora and says the promised land is just a lie officers use to get soldiers to die, in the one AC game which confirms the supernatural and the afterlife are unironically real.
>>583064603ACZ doesn't have any checkpoints and those PS2 games generally feel faster than 7 and 8. Plus, no flares. I used savestates in some missions because fuck flying for half a minute doing nothing just to get to the fight.
>>583064810Was that ever in question?
>>583064785if you're alt-tabbed it won't progress even if it finishes, you have to click inside the game window once the bar is full
Don't call me Pinky!
Finally in the game. What difficulty should I play on for 100%? Elite immediately or is it fine to go veteran? I'm a bit rusty...
Okay bros we ALREADY peaked. Let's go home.
>>583063864cool, fun, bitched out like a child in mission 25 too much for my taste and gave me the ick
>>583065153Veteran gives you unlimited MG ammo, if that feels too easy for you play on Elite.
>>583065153Elite first, apparently you dont unlock Ace on any other difficulty
I kinda hate the mig-31 laam spam more than the fucking Morgan
>>583065153elite was fun as fuck, but i also warmed up a bit with 7 and wingman ahead of the release
>no day 1 patchIt's over
>>583063861Why do people keep fucking up which countries are which? It's either this or people think they're from Shilage.
>>583064726yes im thinking this tooi will do my ace clear on JP voices to see the differences
>>583065153If you've done Ace playthroughs on previous games you're fine on starting with Elite. It's not that bad. I didn't derust at all since AC7 and PW and I was able to handle it fine and S rank most missions on Elite first try, but a handful of missions are a complete bitch and a half
>>583064603I had some moments in 5 that had me thinking I was fighting the fucking blue angelsbut ACZ had me trying to missile joust and not realizing the ai plane can do that too and just bettersorcercer squadron took me way too long before I realized they all purposefully stick to your ass if you fight their teammates
>>583065153I had lots of fun on Elite. Just prepare for constant missile warnings.
>>583064881Flares are a crutch, I didn't use them in AC7 at all
just passed AC7's all time peak>>583065335The mercs are from a region in Erusea. That said it might've gone independent as well like Shilage did but I couldn't see it on the map.
>>583064603>>583064881That one mission where Excalibur shoots at you for the first time is fucking terrible dying to that and having to redo the entire mission just to try that part again feels fucking horrendous. But that mission and like the final boss are the only parts I actually struggled on, AC5 was way harder than Zero for me especially that bullshit canyon level.
>>583065153only an Elite clear will unlock Ace difficulty, so do Elite
>mfw watching everybody else enjoy 8 while i'm stuck with 7
>>583065335Its especially egregious because Savia doesnt even sound remotely similiar to Erusea
How long until AC9? 2029-2030?
>>583064510UPDATING
wow you guys really bought this wokeslop assaulthorizon2? Yikes.....
>>583065665If it's another 140gig UEslop I dont care when
>>583065634Isn't Savia in Erusea?
>>583065758You're joking, but there's actually moments where DFM comes back
>>583065830UE6 will be out by then so enjoy it being 200+ gigs probably
Weaving between support pillars and cranes on the bottom deck of Fatsia while three trillion missiles and railgun shells had me sweating.
>>583065897And it actually doesn't suck
>constant errors when trying to install>content file lockedIt's almost 1am and I'm fucking over this. See you guys tomorrow.
>>583065508Wait, AC7 had flares?
>>583065884i think savia is one of these member states of the FCU
>its another 4 morgans in online warfare
>>583065758Inb4 trolling>There's a literal mission where you fly to point A>Blow up 2/5 planes because 1 is killable, 2 is required, and 3 are literally invincible>Culminating in an akula assault horizon moment>Then the game tells you to haul ass to blow up a whopping 2 targets>Fucking cuts away to spawn you at specific spots like 4 times during the entire ordeal so you genuinely have no idea where you areSo thats it, fly from one end of the map to the other, blow up a total of 5 targetsIFuckingSLEEP
>>583065508Retard>>583066058Yea, but they were pretty minimal
>>583066013so true unironically
there are a lot of callbacks to ac5 missions, in gameplay
>>583065665Unless the online makes bank (which doesn't seem likely right now), it might never happen.
>>583064725I'm pretty sure in the briefing they say that laser designation is only necessary for targets under cloud cover. But even if they need it for any small target, why don't they just laser designate it while it's behind the Rainband? They know where it is because they have the Shadows go attack it. Unless their blimps are immobile, they only station them near the actual Rainband, and the Endurance somehow managed to stay under cloud cover during it's entire trip? That also wouldn't explain how it got back across the line, though maybe that could be an off screen Queen/Baxter/Tasha mission. They have the spears target you during the first Comona mission so they can clearly shoot behind the line. Not trying to be nitpicky but it seems like they go out of their way to explain how it works, then completely ignore it during the Endurance's trip south and the Rio Bajo strike.
>>583065634>>583065884>>583065335https://acecombat.wiki.gg/wiki/Savia
>>583066421new country and lore droppedthx
nth for unless the multiplayer sees rapid changes and restrictions, this shit isn't going to last.
>SACS>The Savian mercenariesYeah they are from Erusea, the planes and suicidal loyalty checks out.
>>583065630I know the feeling buddy, paycheck doesn't come in till launch day. I don't care too much about the pre-order bonuses but it would have been nice I guess.
>>583062935I brought a Typhoon with LAAMs+4AAMs the first time around, but couldn't get a lock with the LAAMs for some reason. Restarted with just 4AAMs, got behind them, and just fired everything anytime they slowed down. Worked a treat.
>>583066107>warfareIt's as much your fault as it is the game developers, there isn't a single AC game that doesn't have shitty PvP because the concept of AC PvP is already retarded.
>>583065079>Game changes her radio portrait to make Pinky her official callsignlol
>>583064117Maybe because your chosen aircraft doesn't have both SAAMs and HVAAs?
AC9 will be surely about the AC3 era, they're already touching the darkness of enigma shit.Hopefully we get a fuckton of fictionals.
>>583066720Whatever plane it is. The mig31 and the f14D can both equip the same sniper load out
>>583065191Oh yeah? Watch this
How is it that Usea gets dragged into another war every decade but North Point has remained completely untouched since Fortress Intolerance? Erusean bombers never reached it during the Continental War despite being ISAF HQ, they completely sat out the Lighthouse War while everyone else is getting droned and the Satoans just sail their battleships right past them despite being a perfect staging point for attacks on the mainland
>>583066720>He doesn't know you can equip 2 specialsSorry I'm playing ace combat 8, I just thought you should know before you pretend to know
the pixy nuke is fucking broken online
>>583067008Mobius one probably hasn't kicked the bucket from old age so theyre probably like nah
>need to play 50 missions with the Morgan to unlock thisI'm sorry for what I must do next.
>>583067096The entire plane is fucking busted>Fast as fuck>Agile as fuck>Can PSM>Can destroy clusters of grouped up ground targets faster than low level attackersNo idea what they were smoking giving people this thing.
>>583067096the pixy is broken, its baffling how they gave Morgans to everyone day 1
>>583066368the entire game kinda felt like 5-but-good
>>583067307greed will always triumph over actually designing a game to be good.
>>583066752They've been uncharacteristically subtle about how the avg Usean is slowly getting more and more technocratic-corporatocracy pilled because their respective national governments just cant stop fucking up reconstruction
>>583064763lmao get a better connection retardall matches worked after 12 hours
Newfield Island turning the Ulysses crater into a naval base was pretty neat
has anyone managed to beat Chandelier yet? I dunno if I'm just the only person following instructions but it just takes too long to kill
>>583067237>No idea what they were smoking giving people this thing.Well they were smoking Korean hooch when they slapped slapped a 10 dollar price tag on it and made it online only
>>583067067I know you can take 2 specials, it's just that not all aircraft have both SAAM and HVAA or HCAA available.
>>583067646You can use it in the campaign after beating it once
What parts buff the TLS on the morgan?
>>583063864It's an odd choice to have her and Costner dickride each other so much. Normally I hate it when Japanese games turn everything into (You)wank, but they spend a lot of time showing they have a very close relationship, and I don't see the narrative reason for that. Them getting set up together and the fact that characters practically say once a cutscene "remember Rex, you need to COME BACK ALIVE from every mission and NOT DIE in some kind of tragic way, okay?" had me convinced for most of the game that the fake spoiler where Rex dies was real. Then it wasn't, so it seems like somebody on the writing team ships them for no obvious reason.
>>583067589>Totally works on my machine!Nah, it doesn't workHell it doesn't even load, it just goes to queue and upon prompting mission load instant boot to main menuDoesn't even try to connect
>>583066884Uhh, sure. But the Su-33 can't.
>>583067646It's available in SP once you unlock it in MP.
>>583067737its the little sister/big brother dynamic, do you even watch anime
>>583067796You wouldn't happen to be on linux, would you?
>>583067630Yes. You literally take a multirole with UGB and attack only the cooling units, unlike infinity it doesn't matter if you take out all the targets, you just need to blow it up fast. I'm already on difficulty 3 for all my lobbies.
:(
>>583067886No I'm not on fucking linux my only retarded decision was assuming ac8 would somehow be smarter made than ac7
>>583067836I only play videogames...
>>583067806>Su-33Rocket the motherfuckers
>>583067008i figure it's like this but with mobius 1 instead of a kamehameha
Unguided rockets are OP against airships like in AC6
>>583068204How's their projectile velocity?
>>583068026Fix your trash, dude
>>583066414Best I can come up with is that there is a limited potential area of attack on either side of the marked Rainband of indeterminate size and they won't adjust the satellite's orbit for some strategic reason. Still doesn't explain the Rio Bajo strike though. I hope the qt with the sheep didn't die ;_;
>>583067796what a butthurt little thirdie connector
the online is actually running my experience of this gamewhat fucking piece of dogshit
>>583067796Works on my third world wifi
>>583068404Your parents were the kind that beat you even if you did everything rightI'm sorry for that but fuck you and fuck this buggy ass game
>>583068490That can't be it beacuse I'm a thirdie with shit internet and I can still play online, the faggot must have an even bigger issue.
>>583068597>Infinity is shit>Ac7 mp is shit>Ac8 mp is shitWho could have seen this coming
>level 20'd the F-18Cy'know, this thing actually ain't bad when you level it up and throw better parts on it
I've cleared the cache, wiped every file, uninstalled and reset my pc, yet every time I start the download anew this shit shows up. Any advice? I'm going insane here.
>>583067836I like this so I'm going to choose to believe it.
>>583068605>>583068490That's what I'm saying it's a literal works on my machine game at the moment
>>583068392Pretty good, their damage and radius is nice too.
friendship ended with f22 raptorsu57 felon is my best friend now>going so fast the pass cam can't even keep up sometimes
>>583068724the only thing that matters is plane level.Bars are litteraly pointless, they will handle like shit unless you get parts and levels no matter what
>>583068895SUd have always looked better than their western counterpartsOh and it had PLSL in 7
If you want the game to play like old ace combat you meed to change everything to Type B in the menu's FYIESP the camera since they fucked it up
>>583068935NTA but objectively wrong. Maybe correct for older ACs but the store (10,000 zoll) parts make major changes.
>>583068738It was not downloading, it was decrypting the preload. Now that you fucked up and deleted the files like a dumbshit moron, who knows how to fix it.
>pop rockets>shadows cutscene plays>tubes that fired never reload for the rest of the missionepic bug

>>583068738Delete the depotcache folder in your steam folder
>>583068895Thank god the FCU gave it a good looking camo instead of the shitty all-black one Osea had.
>>583069161>Meanwhile 7 value limited matches
I did not end up liking the game. rip
>>583068204I did, actually. That's how I completed the mission after failing once.
Yup. There it is again. the tourists are back and crashing the lobbies, can't get into one match. Time to play campaign.
>>583069334I thought it was a nod to the standard Russian paint job
>>583069161>>583069351TDM has score limit
>>583069351Wait 8 doesn't have value limit or matchmaking based on it? Are they retarded?
>>583069596it does but not is the modes that actually give you shit, TDM rewards are trash
>>5830693517 had*>>5830693567 had a lot of high demand kill missions8 has way too many narrative missions and "rush to the objective bevausr we're all fucked without you" missions
>>583069564>just play the shit pvp-only mode that gives you no rewards bro
Shadow 22 is such a piece of shit, I don't think there is an ace I hate more in the whole franchise.
>>583069564Well score limit doesn't fucking matter when the core "coop" and "versus modes" pit Morgan's vs F-4 phantoms with no scaling
I might have genuinely fallen for KateFuck my stupid chungus life
>>583069768This, but Sotoans in general.
>>583069161The only thing that your kills impact is your cash, and its only at max 1000 more than the base which is 1800. You're more likely even if you MVP to just get an extra 500. Someone who just queues matches and goes afk progresses as fast as the best MVP.
>>583069768He's not even a particularly good pilot>Always revolves around extreme numerical advantage, setting up kill steals from stealth, and spamming PSM like it's macross deltaHe sucks
>>583069596it's low rewards, it literally says it on the selector menu. If you must shoot down other players go to co op warfare, it give high zoll output. zoll is what matters to raise level caps for aircraft special abilities, stuff like homing on those abilities beat part homing modifiers.
how often do the special missions pop up?is it on a set schedule?
Sheeeit just took down arsenal bird in my shitty mig21. Got like 15k moneys
>>583070094Every half hour ( :00 and :30).

>first run of a new ace combat
Gentlemen, a toast to the Terminus Fingers, for really putting the "ex" in Expo City.
>>583070250this is better than homing parts
>>583067395>technocratic-corporatocracy pilled because their respective national governments just cant stop fucking up reconstructionit's strange how this is a concept in fiction. from what i've come to understand in real life, corporations aren't really any more efficient at building stuff than most governments are unless it's an authoritarian government
>>583070472its so nice not knowing whats coming up
>>583065276>That artworkIs this the same illustrator behind that Ghost In the Shell: The Human Algorithm manga??
>>583070006I want to have fun with my fucking video game, this is a dumb gacharoach mentality
>>583070591Both can be just as effective as long as you stop putting roadblocks in front of them, but it's easier to get them out of the way of a corporation than it is of a government.
This game might top AC5 for how clunkily it handles having a silent protag
fuck yeah just bought a su57 next mission is a carrier-launch
Might be a hot dogshit take but I hope PA drop the MP portion in its entirety and go full focus on the SP in 9. Throw all of your money into it and don't waste it on shit like the mini-series and so on.
do onlinefags play on standard controls
>come home at 1AM>check steam>AC8 unpackingis it playable already for non goys?
>>583070472spoilerthere will be air combat and a lot of missile warning and sometimes even a bit The wings of theve? but only if you make the correct choices the choices to matter
Why is there no pure PVE mode in mp?
>>583071318Yes. It has taken off.
>>583071441Scramble and Emergency Sortie are pure PvE with no team vs team stuff.
>>583071204>silentI'm sorry Rex can say yes and no and have Cope cope around in his head
CONSOLE "PLAYERS" ARE SUBHUMAN NIGGERS WHO THROW EVERY EMERGENCY SORTIE. HANG ALL CONSOLE NIGGERS.
the opening chase scene with Cope and Shadow 22 might be one of my favourite game intros ever
>>583071532The team stuff doesn't matter for assault anyways.
>>583071253>Throw all of your money into it and don't waste it on shit like the mini-series and so on.you do know there are separate budgets for marketing and gamedevnot having marketing doesnt mean that money goes directly to gamedev
>Everyone in MP has played 7 so they know they have to get under the Arsenal Bird to destroy it>Nobody in MP has played 6 so they don't know they have to fly through the Chandelier's barrel
>>583071204It's kind of weird since Cope essentially comes across as an internal monologue since only the Player/Rex can hear him.
>>583071867>know I have to fly through the barrel>crash because it has 20000 hp and I was expecting to fly out the other end
>pick TPL>use mouse aim>profit
>>583072110I always prepare to yaw out to the side, I just don't have the balls to go full throttle through it
Fug where's my F-14AMission 3 and it's not in the hangar
>>583071801Yes I do. Maybe reallocate the budget towards the development.I get what they were going for but I don't get what crowd they were actually trying to reach.
>just ran into a guy using the typhoonDudes been playing online 8 hours a day for the last 3 days
people going online before playing the campaign in a fucking ace combat game feels so current year

Baxter is too boring and by the bookTasha is annoyingCorter is cool but they should've given him more character like his fucking arc concluded at sniders top basically Kate should've died for realCope is also fucking boring
>>583072317ep1 has a million views, if even a small portion of that crowd bought the game than it was worth it, considering it has the production values of a decently successful youtube skit channel from the mid 10's
>>583072498Once upon a time, Ace combat wanted the COD crowd...
Why are people using the Foxhound for? It's shit
>>583072302Do you have Zero?
>>583071253the MP easily fixable, this is a game where you literally win wars with the power of friendship, they need to drop the dumb fucking idea that anyone that plays this series is interested in any form of PVP everthey won't because whoever is in charge of the online mode is a retarded ape who fucked up ACI and fucked up ACO even worse
>>583072581Still more interesting than every other AC character other than Chopper
Are emergency sorties/scrambles on a schedule?
>>583072498better get enough out of it before it dies
>>583072643the cod era was such a fucking horrible time for gaming it's unreal
>>583072737go fast early
>>583072748Yeah I got it and the F-14 listed in DLC guess I'll just try restarting
>>583070591Things are generally efficient to the degree that the people who make decisions pay the price or reap the rewards for being right/wrong. At a certain level (and in certain legal environments, so more so in previous decades than currently) corporations can seem more efficient because they have constant performance incentives to not screw up, IE bankruptcy and losing your job.Unfortunately due to the economy of scale phenomenon a corporation the size of 20 small ones generates more revenue then 20 small corporations combined. This means that once a corporation reaches a certain size it has the resources to withstand increasing amounts of institutional stupidity. As the scale of the corporation increases the leadership becomes more isolated from sources of information, and middle management increasingly starts to hide or misrepresent problems out of fear of being punished or fired by top executives who don't understand their jobs. Basically performance and behavior incentives are probably the largest factor (among many others) that determines institutional efficiency. There was a time that people thought that corporations were generally more effective as a consequence of this. Unfortunately, as we progress further into the Techno-Gilded Age this looks less and less like the case. While I'm ranting about this pseudo-government corporations like the East India company are unlikely to re-emerge any time soon. Corporations still operate at the pleasure of governments because governments maintain a monopoly on force and are unlikely to give that up for any foreseeable reason. We're more likely to see governments and corporations become closer and closer and the lines between them will become more blurred. Corporate executives and politicians will become increasingly entangled as an economic class and more isolated from everyday citizens. Success for either faction will depend on networking and staying in the good graces of the other.
Is this going to be the next battlepass plane or something?

>>583072790I think Tabloid and Bandog were great in AC7
>>583073212It made me cry due to how shit it was
>>583073768brother have you looked at the online store, they clearly don't give a shit about monetizing ACO out of the assalso they said you'd be able to grind out the pass planes so you don't *need* to pay for it necessarily
IDK how they want from AC7's OST to this absolute dogshit ngl
>>5830735596? Yes.4, 5. Don't remember if pcsx2 allows you to bind stuff to kbm. You'd have to check yourself.I don't recommend kbm either way.

>>583073768Good goys will pay so that's not an issue for Bamco
>>583074148I don't think it's contrarian to say that the shitty rock that ruined what were supposed to be some of the game's greatest moments was quite a downgrade in the music department.

Am I the only one having performance issues? Shit is crashing.
Jumped straight into the mutliplayer, it's fun! But I've crashed about 5 times now with "Unexpected error 01". Not so fun.Is there any tips to avoid this or should I just play campaign and hope they fix it later?
Do ACO player names have to be unique? Or did I actually get dibs on Pixy?
>>583075361I crash exclusively on cutscenes while the rest of the game runs at 60 on ultra.
>>583075361Gameplay ran at 60-70fps for me with minimal dips, cutscenes fucking tanked to the low 40s, but I didn't have a single crash in the 17 hours I played so far.
Yeah. I'm convinced the multiplayer is hot garbage.
>>583075408Unless it's one guy who keeps changing his avatar I've seen multiple players with names like Mobius, Cipher or Crimson

>>583072958>>583073859We are really are just stuck with the worst aspects of market and command economies at the same time aren't we? I wonder how they're going to handle the build up to Electrosphere going forward, they are pretty good at updating Strangereal to keep up with current events. GR and Neucom might end up being extensions of non-Usean states afterwards.>>583075252I do wish that the intro sequence was a little more in depth like that was, at least us fire a Sidewinder.

>liberation of gracemeria plays during online session>there isn't enough time for it to get to the good partThey maybe should have trimmed that one down.

>>583079654Not all of Jackpot, but Jackpot 9 dies on Mission 8 if you don't clear the beachhead fast enough.Also I'm pretty sure she's the newscaster's daughter from Hour Zero.
>>583079253I think people genuinely forget that thing was designed to attempt to intercept blackbirdsIt's 2 fucking plane sized jets in a plane meant to fly for a comically short timeAs a result flying at most planes' max speed (~2500) it's stable as fuck due to game shenanigans
Why is it sideways sorry guys
>>583079654I think it depends on if you select "yes" to the shooting around the cockpit idea that Baxter proposes or not before downing Shark

So what graphical options I turn off or on to make shit stop looking like sand? Yes I am indeed very retarded and stupid (no joke I'm legaly retarded)

>>583078758i like comparing this to that time the soviet air force trainers went to egypt or iraq (?) and called the local pilots idiots because they kept getting shot down and when they themselves went out in combat, they did even worse

>>583062471I did it with the Phantom and got filtered so hard, then tried it with the F-18C and it was easy. Probably could have done it if I'd had machine gun damage parts unlocked at that point.
>>583080682I could feel the panic set in during the second zoom in
>>583070824Me too, but the fact is the online is fucked and is unfixable because they're Japanese. I have never in twenty years of gaming seen a Japanese studio fix online. If its fucked day 1 its fucked forever.

Seven timeline pages
so are QAAMs just bad now or what
>>583080931Grind for the privilege of being engaged
>>583070824How? Getting the same amount of experience regardless of performance means you can progress even if you get raped. Would you prefer the rich get richer and them just raw dog anyone new or who doesn't play ACO exclusively while they can literally never progress because they get no money and exp?

>>583080938Dude, are you on PC?If you're on w11 you can just right click the image and rotate it
I was worried about how they would include Nagase into the game, but I think they did it pretty well
>>583080931You can't. I've been in 10,000 point games, still difficulty 1. Also in games with shitboxes and its been difficulty 3.Also 0 difference in rewards or effort by the way its made up.
>>583081042I WOULD PREFER TO TO BE ABLE TO DO THE FUCKING MISSION AND SHOOT SOME TARGETS WITHOUT SOME NIGGER WITH 6000 HOURS OF ONLINE GAMEPLAY AND A JET THAT FLIES 3X AS FAST AS MINE AND CAN BLOW UP HALF THE MAP ALONE RUINING THE EXPERIENCEIS THAT HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTANDI DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A FAKE RETARDED BAR I'M FILLING
>>583081272What the fuck does that have to do with the experience system you autistic fuck?
I fully admit to being an idiot, but was the idea that General Resource is the new face of the Enso Order that they're making it look like it is a new player, or just that it took everything the Enso Order had after it got exposed?
>>583081385i assumed it's the latter but considering the "anonymous" nature of enso order im sure plenty of them are infiltrating anywhere they want to also
>>583081385Probably a bit of both
>>583081381>What does shit have to do with an inane problemYou're missing the forest for the tres, this is a retardedly designed game mode in one of the technically most unpolished AC games ever
Post cool screenshots/clips that you have taken
>>583081385the latter, gr was prominent in ac7's dlc and have been around well before then (2019) in strangereal's chronology
I was kinda surprised that they basically talked about a lot of blockchain stuff with Enso Order without actually saying the word blockchain
>>583081385GR was already up to shit years ago Scream and Rage in 7's DLC were their mercenaries

>>583081385It felt like bothEnso was basically a multi-industry club that you could be in while also being in other corporations, the artbook says the X-40 was commissioned by Enso and built by GR for example. DD was representing Doniphan while also working for Enso, etc
now we can finally play the game
How do I launch AC0? I've been trying to figure this out for the past three days.
I wish you could sell planes you bought like in the PS2 games
>>583082324>he clicked "always pick this option" when he first launched the game
>>583081581I like that you can see canopy reflections in the distance.
>>583082058Do you see those airships going 90 degrees to dodge them?
>>583082324It's a launch option, so if you have the prompt disabled, turn it back on so you can choose between 0 and 8The 0 is also bundled into 8's directory so you might be able to just launch it directly from there too but I haven't tried
>>583082360this but also how far away you can see mg fire from planes (not to mention the howitzer and tank shells)
>>583082195So they're like what people think the freemason's or the the Israelis are?
>>583082360I've seen this exact post before!
Having accelerate/decelerate on the triggers always feels so weird to me. How many games has it been the default now?
Finally got my planefu, love the FCU skin they gave her
>>583082370Well sometimes I have to hit them at retarded angles so I guess it doesn't matter
>>583082524Started with 7 I'm pretty sure
>>583082524Since 7
>>583082350Not the problem.>>583082412I'll try this.
>>583081385Normally I would say the latter but it's a very odd and specific plot point that despite preserving the evidence needed to expose Enso all of it's members escaped being identified or prosecuted. The only reason I could think of for not just having them be young Batemans who get caught is if they're a cover for a faction we already know. Belkans are a tired plot point and I want them to finally let that arc rest, which that anniversary Gaze article seems to imply. But it would be interesting if they were a younger, smarter evolution of AWWNB. We know from Tabloid that there are still anarchist movements well into the 21st century, and the story definitely seems to imply people are getting tired of the constant wars and see nations as the culprit. It might be related to the eventual DLC. To be honest the whole DAO/Enso/Moksha motif is interesting and cool. It's a better aesthetic than either GR or Neucom has, I hope we see more of them.
>>583082524They're the most tactile buttons for moderating thrustThat said ive heard there's zero reason to use the middle thrusts irl so idk if it matters

>>583062294Maybe I'm just a boring old man, but having played the first 6 missions I find the story isn't as compelling as AC7. I enjoy the wingmen having personality outside the cockpit, but I don't find the conflict all that interesting. At least AC7 had someone explain why they were fighting early on and put a few faces to the Eruseans. Right now I'm just sitting here after getting back from Drinwich and wondering if the FCU are actually the bad guys. Why else would so many people defect from it in AC2/Assault Horizon Legacy, why would it need the ISAF to defend it during AC4, and why Bulgurdarest would need to build a wall along its borders in AC7?I just don't fucking trust the FCU 6 missions in.
>>583081910I think they buffed the fuck out of bombs and machine guns I swear they're way better than AC7

>>583082924Everflow is at nearly a million views on youtube and everyone was losing their fucking mind on socials over it prior to release. Everyone in /aceg/'s finished the campaign by now and gushed about the music, so now we're on the seething at online arc.Everflow wasn't even the best song in the game too
I really like the Purple Magic tracks makes me wish they were in the game longer

>>583082442That was my takeaway, they had a very "Wall Street insiders" type of thing going on. People who network at VIP parties, share information and make plans so they can all get filthy rich, except they actually had a public-facing Illuminati Corp™ where they could use all those elite connections to do stuff. With the Enso conspiracy dead, everything got moved into GR and nothing was really stopped, just delayed. They don't have to be anonymous and hide who they work for when GR becomes a monopoly later in the decade.
>>583076794I've been memeing this for a while. I hope it comes true.
>>583083815Oh well. The OST isn't even on streaming services yet. Not on spotify at least. Don't know what's taking them so long.
not being able to fight TALLY ONE THOUSAND BANDITS with your bros is project aces' biggest sin
>>583084104I'm thinking bamco pulled that shit they did with Tekken and PA made ACOnline bad on purpose
>>583084136It's like I'm back in 2012 all over again.
So which boss would you want them to add as the next emergency sortie
LAAMs and SASMs are hilariously busted online.
>>583084187Excalibur duh.
Guys, pls, its coop, the objective is kill everything, why are we flying at 400000km/hr when you can just go slow, low, and pick everything off one by one
>>583082887October 2 on japan retard
>>583084259You do need to fly really fast between the spawned in enemy squadron and then the 'bonus round' enemies after that so you can S-Rank.
>>583083153you've played 6 out of 30, man
>>583067008North Point probably still got some nukes left from the '97 coup and makes everyone know they aren't afraid to use them.
Finally finished the campaign Holy animeThis was so enjoyable Goty for me
>>583084349>Line of targets>Option A: Go slow and just gun/missile them down one by one >Option B: Fly at 484023489234km/hr, missile 2, miss the other six, forced to fly past, turn around, go back, try again
Advanced Access shouldn't be a thing.
Has anybody ground past 100 sorties of their favorite plane in MP to see what you get after the player title?
>>583084170For what purpose would they do that?
>>583084525I must be close i've been playing the A10 for three days
>>583081796>I'm sure someone will come along with better scans soon.Happened yesterday. It's even linked in the OP.
alright << Buddys >>We need to have a serious discussion about AC9.Since Electrosphere is now canon, Strangereal, and the places we know and love are coming to an end.It also means less real planes and more scifi planes are in our future. Would it make sense then to have AC9 have alternate routes where the bad end leads to Electrosphere and good end stays in Strangereal?
>>583082524Since 6, actually.
>>583081581a webm for 4mb-sized ants
>>583084654You can check in the Challenges tab and see how much further you have to go. I remember grinding cool-sounding ones in AC:I.
>>583084525Not yet. I'm trying to do five sorties with every plane so I can figure out which one gives me the Sea Dragon nickname.
>>583084769they're pretty obviously doing a soft retcon of the electrosphere era that incorporates the post AC5 strangereal worldview, which means keeping certain large scale concepts while rewriting the smaller details and changing the parts that dont fit
>>583084925I think I've seen that one so hopefully it's not on too high-tier of a plane. Good luck out there, buddy.
I still have not gotten a single scramble or emergency sortiefuck this faggot mode
>>583084943I heard hatred for borders multiple times. and DD made the point corporations are a lot better at servicing needs and making products people actually want.It's clear people are slowly wanting to get rid of borders/nations. Which is the end of Strangereal
>>583085272You have to play a certain number of normal games first in a row
>pop up after pop up after pop upbro just let me play the fucking game
>>583085115>/x/what do you guys think strangereal /x/ is like
>>583085303>It's clear people are slowly wanting to get rid of borders/nations. Which is the end of Strangerealits a continuation of strangereal? strangereal isnt just haha funny belka memes ad infinitum for the rest of history...
played Ace Combat Liberation of Gracemeria on xbox360 and absolutely fucking loved it.Downloading Wings of Theve as I struggle like a fucking retard with this hard ass captchas, what should I expect?
Has anybody tried turning collision off and fly around maps in sort of a "spectator" mode? I wonder if there are some interesting easter eggs hidden around.
>>583084943They really did themselves a favor by making AC3 a simulation all the way back then. Makes it easy for them to handwave away any details that don't fit.
anyone knows the name of the song that plays on mission 3 when the shadow fags show up?
what does "next program" meanis that when the scramble happens
>>583085664The maps within modes. i.e. in Co-Op Assault there are 3 maps you could get of a possible 9, it rotates every whatever, hour or something.
>>583085514no borders means no nations. The "real" part of Strangereal is it's ties to the real world nations mixed with strangeness
>>583085407Probably more ayy posting talking about how Ulysses asteroid fragments contained alien tech that helped speed up superweapon tech development. Lots of spooky ghost ship stories because navies die in droves every single war. Schizo theories trying to answer why war winning ace pilots keep showing up regularly, fueled by leaks regarding Osea's Singularity research.
>>583085660Frostwave
>>583084769I really doubt we will ever get to a point where all of the planes are fictional. Flying real life jets everybody loves is too much of an appeal. It would be funny if in a sequel we see the real life Simon and he rants about how all planes should have COFFIN because it's cool. He just put it all over his simulation because it's his autistic obsession.
>>583084925Recently unlocked that one. You get that nickname from destroying naval targets.
>>583085773The real part of Strangereal comes from a 2001 PR statement around AC04, back when it still retained aspects of 3's real world geographical featuresAnd the existence of a corporate controlled usea doesnt mean the end of nations, considering the neo united nations is an important player in the original AC3 storyline
How do you get the Merchant nickname? I wanna put it on a Belkan larp livery.
I thought there would be no rubberbanding?
>>583086213you have to earn a whole lot of zoll, it's in challenges if you scroll down some
Someone explain the nations to me with reference to real nations, Belkan is Israel right?
Guys you're overthinking this, Ace Combat 9 will obviously be another prequel like Zero but set in the mid-to-late Cold War era of aircraft. That way they have extra time for Ace Combat 10 to be the real introduction of 3's corpowar bullshit.>>583086361Well at least that's one you get just for playing naturally then.
>>583085407Probably people posting about ghosts that haunt the minds of living humans if they have unfinished business. And everyone normal calling them schizos. I've been thinking about that Felon pilot from M29 who had apparently died 12 years prior. I know it's a long shot but it would be funny if he was another Cope situation who had attached himself to someone else who then used his identity to help him complete whatever issue caused him to stick around.
>release everflow early>pinnacle of meh>the real actual good one was Hortus Regis Alti all along
>>583083187They feel about as strong as they were in AC6
>>583085773There are still distinct regions and a sense of history. Also for all anyone knows the AC3 corporate war was the height of corporate power and they dwindle down and nations rise back up after that.
>>583086650>Also for all anyone knows the AC3 corporate war was the height of corporate power and they dwindle down and nations rise back up after that.thats basically militech/arasaka in cyberpunk 2077
can I just redo missions to get money and unlock the tree? also, should I put tasha in a green plane since she doesn't fight anyway?
Has anyone thought up a strategy for doing a no damage run yet?
Magenta Vortex...
>>583084769Nothing prevents strangereal from sticking around while incorporating Electrosphere stuff. All that needs to exist to accommodate AC3 storywise is that corporations are more powerful than nations, which is something that AC8 already established anyway.The planes are another matter entirely; PA seems to have declared jihad against COFFIN so real planes will be around for the indefinite future
>>583086585>Sharing Information and Sharing the Truth are different things>which is a theme of AC8kino, isn't it?
>>583086083Thank fuck. Here I was thinking it was going to be from the F-2A
>>583086403>Is [fictional nation] actually [real nation] or [other real nation]?What causes this autism? It's fiction, all of them take multiple influences not just from nations but from history. Belka is kind of like Germany but all of the Operation Paperclip scientists formed an international conspiracy to drag people into wars. You can call that a Jewish reference if you believe in that sort of thing, but I don't see any sort of relation to Israel besides people trying to project their real life politics into the setting. Belka has a homeland, it's just 60% of it was cannibalized and sold to other nations so all of the survivors are buttmad about it.
>>583087054>PA seems to have declared jihad against COFFIN so real planes will be around for the indefinite future>make the fucking Morgan an early Battlepass unlock and destroys any balance in MutiplayerThat's not the jihad I'm used too
>>583086585I don't remember making this post yet this is exactly my opinion.
How can Sotoa build land battleships but are still using kuznetsovs?
>>583086585the fact that Everflow didn't even play in the credits but Hortus did is a testament to PA knowing WTF they were doing releasing Everflow early
inb4 it's revealed that the simulation in 3 actually took place in 2060 or something
>>583087209Nothing is creative, it's all going to have a real world comparison that saves time explaining the setting.
>>583087373same reason fucking Iran can't produce ICBMs, but somehow tech'd into nukes
>>583086853Yeah. It's funny that Johnny laments that nothing has changed because Arasaka having any significant presence in Night City since the 4th Corporate War has been a thing for less than a decade. They were driven away for the better part of the 21st century and the 2023 nuclear bombing was basically the catalyst for that, I don't think anybody in the setting can claim to have pulled off something as impactful outside of literal corpos like Saburo.
>>583086650>Also for all anyone knows the AC3 corporate war was the height of corporate power and they dwindle down and nations rise back up after that.While GR and Neucom are fucked up in every route, it's dubious how strong world governments are at the end of 3. Unless Nemo actively sides with them UPEO appears to become subservient to GR, and even in the Upeo route their tech lags behind the others. Taking the simulation at face value, post war Strangereal is probably a hurt but resilient coalition of governments opposing a weakened GR and both sides tearing apart Neucom remnants in order to get their tech.
cant believe that Cope fucked Moon11 so hard that she became a cripple, must have felt great
>>583087562Like another anon said. Project Aces got a really easy out with Electrosphere just being a simulation. Simon just threw Nemo into a world that wasn't 1/1 with the actual reality.
It's okay guys, just 100~200 more matches until I'm not longer bad at dogfighting hahahawhy are LAAMs so strong but SAAMs can still miss?
>>583088053SAAM tracking is incredibly bad even if theye're flying straight.
>>583088053>>583088132You would think SAAMs would be the most accurate missile given the commitment.
>>583087631Now that's a squadron.>>583087948To be fair Johnny is a narcissistic lunatic and to him anything less than Total Corpo Death is a failure.
>>583087716>Nothing is creativeI do not know what thought process caused you to make this statement.
i wonder how good tasha's mother was at flying to be able to do *that*
>>583088013I choose to believe this is canon and she told everyone it was a Yuke ace to save face.
Regardless AAW29 seems to really reinforce that the average usean is getting pretty darn tired of borders leading to continental wars with million-death tolls every 5 years
>>583088308Everything is an iteration of something else. I do not know what dogshit education you got to not know that.
>>583088282>To be fair Johnny is a narcissistic lunatic God I love my boy, he's such a cunt.
>180k ZOLL to reach max level cap on the growlerOUCH
>>583086879No and no, also it counts a "firing" her special weapons so she does fuck all.
>7 minutes 30 seconds per game >1900 Zoll, 123 Combat XP, 100 Pilot XP on average per game>15,200 Zoll, 984 Combat XP, 800 Pilot XP per hour >>583088704That's 11 hours and 51 minutes for level 20 on 1 plane btw.
Is it just me or is Online not working? Everytime I join a game it seems that someone quits and autoleaves at start of mission?
what graphic setting controls smoke and explosions?its killing my frames
kill shark squadron or not? does it make a difference?
>>583087631Can you walk around and look at the planes up close from different angles?
>>583088635I know I'm being baited but all new ideas are cross fertilizations of different old ideas, kind of like genetics and sexual reproduction. Consequently nothing is entirely new or entirely old and everything has multiple influences. What kind of "education" told you everything is just an iteration of some predecessor? That's not even true in real life, much less fiction which has less constraints.
>>583088648Yeah he's the fun kind of asshole for the story he's in.
I usually don't get that emotional in these games and when I do, it's happy laugh about how over the top the spectacle is. But going back and placing Cope's dogtag down in the prairie actually did get to me a bit
>>583088532My copy hasn't arrived yet. Anything interesting about the plot that isn't mentioned in the game? I assume Osea pulled out of Usea and became more isolationist after AC7 but I don't think that was ever said anywhere in AC8.
>retarded QTE segments in cutscenes for no reason>retarded choice system that does nothing>"LE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP"
>>583088989>Back pedaling I accept your concession, now stop being retarded.
>>583088827That's how its programmed. If 1 person leaves, it instantly quits to menu. You rike superior japanese gameprway?
>>583088818playing warfare and the occasional emergency/scramble cuts that time down by a bit, but it's still awful, and that's just the final level cap
>>583089135>Anything interesting about the plot that isn't mentioned in the game?Newfield Island's crater restoration was bankrolled by Sotoa as part of their coastal reclamation fund, which partly explains why they defected.
>allies sees the wings emblem as the hand of hope>Sotoians call it the terminus fingersFEELING A LITTLE GUILTY ABOUT SOMETHING, ARE WE?
>>583089330No reason at all for it to be this grindy, people are more likely to quit when they realise they wasted all their money on an early/mid game plane
>>583089226Is this the part where we go back and forth with cope/seethe/dial8 for twenty posts until one of us outschizos the other?
Sotoa desperately needed a pacifist Gundam princess more than Erusea did, or at least do a better job showing that Tewy was disgusted by the rabid elements leading Sotoa's institutions. The brainwashed toxic warrior culture of the past contrasting with a more progressive faction that prefers brokering deals to tribal conquest would've been interesting and make the Sotoan civilians at the end siding with Wings feel like it didn't come out of nowhere.
>>583089516Im sure you would like that to save face here is your last reply shitposter
>>583089120For me it was hearing Trigger's leitmotif again at the end of the space elevator mission
For some unknown reason I seem to have a soft spot for rich kids with an innocent and earnest dream, which is why I can't help but love D.D. I knew I was gonna like the bastard as soon as I saw his duplicitous face
>>583089558I wonder if their post launch DLC project will feature a mini campaign that delves deeper into Sotoa's internal politics. Tewy getting the ick from Enso Order bossing her around and getting her nuggets killed just to test their new fighter came in at the last second.
>>583089354>North Point was historically part of Yuktobania Hory shet, my copy needs to get here, I need the lore trukes.

>>583088891I have them at medium
>>583089945Scans are in the OP if you wanna browse. I also posted the vinyl last thread, but that's less interesting since Zaptroxix has the OST up and I'm sure Bamco will upload the official one before long.
>>583089846Same. There's something about him I really like. I'm glad he wasn't the traitor. But also every time they brought up the mole red herring I couldn't help but think about Huey and his big dramatic reveal that DD is a wolf.
>>583088891I'm 80% sure it's Effects.
>>583090572Shiet I misread that, the "effects" one does
>>583090567>>however that one sotoan song is even better than everflowthe female vocalist going AYAYYAYAYA while doing the whistling/clicking thing and they're clapping really evokes horseback charges across grasslands to me...its so peak

Holy fuck SAM sites are annoyingjust let me play the fucking game I don't want to hunt for tiny impossible to target SAM sites while a dozen aircraft buzz overheadgenuinely for every good thing in this game there's dogshit to balance it out
>>583090902Are you retarded or just another shitter?

>>583090902Just dodge.

>>583091001>>583091127>have you tried wasting hours and a million missiles to shoot them, putting the actually fun gameplay loop on hold during this>bro just dodge the five missiles every 10s and ignore that maneuvering like that makes it impossible to get the near perfect positioning required to shoot down even trash planes who will effortlessly dodge missiles shot from anything other than the perfect rear aspect >also ignore that your plane handles like fat dogshit because you need two dozen upgrades to have it fly normallyI get you're already 4 days in and flying a max upgrade Morgan or w/e but this early game is ass
scramble and emergency sortie are way too fucking rare
>>583091645Please refund my game and do not come back, thank you.
https://x.com/mr_eggzen/status/2105820736875307184kek
>>583091645We get it buddy, you've been filtered. Just drop the difficulty down to Rookie, Project Aces included it for players like you
welp
>>583091871He's talking about 'upgraded morgans' and 'early game', I legit think the retard is playing multiplayer first
>>583091645sounds to me like you didnt learn the basic of flying, hopped straight into online and got your ass handed to you
Do people not realize that most Morgan pilots are retards and you can just LAAM them from 10+ km away?
>>583091934Is 20 the max?
Uh oh, the paid shills are MAD
>>583091793>weekly mission is to play 3 scrambles>2 emergency shorties completed, no scramblesAt least I got to sink Torres again
>>583091985yea
I should refund this game, it's actually so bad compared to AC7 it's probably going to kill the franchiseIt's over, we're not getting AC9
>>583092149really?
>>583092041the paid shills must be salarymen at this point because they've kept this general alive for many, many years
>>583091645>>bro just dodge the five missiles every 10sIs this your baby's first ace combat game?
all sotoans are scum and trash but Tewi...Tewi my beloved. Beautiful queen Tewi... ANYTHING FOR HER.
>>583092041Yes I am a paid shill you caught me guess you'll have to make me lose my job by refunding the game now I'll be in shambles
>>583092247no, it's pretty much never been a problem in any of the other actually decent AC games but this one I guess they decided that they should just toss 50 SAMs into each mission because fun isn't allowed
>>583091980To be fair I don't think the game once explains to you how to do G turns.
>>582998196>>582998449Tossed this on my printer scanner and set it to 2400 This is the best I can do for you, buddy.
>>583090839you can just take anything with lacm/ugb into m27 and make an easy 250k
>>583092313At least spell her name right
>>583091403Each drone locks a single target, it fires 4 at once and you have 16 if using it alone and 8 if you're using 2, this shit has PS2 game tier SPW ammo economy while being at AC 7 tier killing potential.
>>583070250There is a whole menu section dedicated to "abilities" which is separate from "upgrades". But I haven't unlocked an ability yet so it sits empty, no idea what goes in there. Multiplayer only to be clear
>>583091852
Been playing the PVP ever since i beat the campaign a couple days ago. Is it just me or are the Mig-31 and Morgan complete cancer? I feel like I wasted my resources on the F-14A and SU-47 because those planes are just so much better even when im maxed out on my F-14. The Mig-31 does everything it can do but better. Why is a Mig-31 winning turnfights?Also, is the D type better than the A type at max level or is it a sidegrade?
>>583092373Right, previous AC games didn't have Sam's, how could we forgetWell, go on, anon. Which AC games were these 'the good ones' with no SAMs?
i got chills and tears in my eyes when the music in mission29 kicked in, and im not afraid to say it
>>583092657I mean AC7 almost literally didn't have SAM sites, they showed up in ONE mission and were the focus of the mission and not a background annoyance meant to artificially add difficulty and shit up the air combatYou obviously didn't play that game though because you don't play Ace Combat
>>583092554I use I because I'm In love with her!
>>583092206>been doing it for free for the least 7 yearsNigger company owes me reparations

>>583092313She was not a real nomad
>>583092729>they showed up in only mission in Ace Combat 7That your final answer, grok?
>>583092879they meant that the aircraft abilities only appear in multiplayer, buddy
>>583092879Don't worry. All the tech-illiterate normgroids are already killing the review score. There won't be a 9
>>583092901literally trueolder games also respected you by having you fight either SAM sites or fighters and not both at the same timelook at AC0 which was bundled with AC8, SAMs are a literal nonissue in that gameyou also don't have to fly a gimped plane with zero handling in a game balanced around having maxed out parts from a grindy tech tree
>>583093062You might be right but I'm not taking any chances.
Time to see what this multiplayer is all about and enjoy my morgan
>start game>hold to skip 10 times in a row

>>583092604D is basically a MiG-31 with slightly more agility for slightly worse speed Both are competent LAAM slingers
>>583092729There are over 60 SAM enemies in Ace Combat 7, that's ignoring all the variants like AD tanks and VLS.

Can't wait for the inevitable YF-23/FB-22 stealth sniper meta
>>583090839how fast is m27? that was 80k in 9 minutes and it was just mission 2, i'm sure there are better missions for it
>>583093108I'll bite, nigger.>literally trueLiterally false.>older games also respected you by having you fight either SAM sites or fighters and not both at the same timeYou were fighting SAMs and Fighters all the way back to Mission 2 of Air Combat>look at AC0 which was bundled with AC8, SAMs are a literal nonissue in that gameYes, if you're not trash. Bad example because Avalon Dam literally has you fight enemy aces and SAMs.>you also don't have to fly a gimped plane with zero handling in a game balanced around having maxed out parts from a grindy tech treeF-18C is fine you double nigger. Far better than 7's F-16, and UGBs actually make it useful for ground attack missions.
>>583089120for me it was when Kate got shot and Tasha just started bawling her eyes out.I literally spent most of the level shooting. every. Gemma and Merc I can find. If these hatchlings wanted to die, they've got it.then she comes back and I got even more angry. I genocided a bunch of kids for you and you're alive?! You don't get to be alive!

>>583094140That AC7 mission was pretty fun
>he's still going at itMy god
>>583094140but Ace Combat 04 was mostly all air to ground missions
ace combat player discovers the need for SEAD for the first time, instantly melts down
Seems we reached a stable 37k, not great but it's decent I suppose.
>>583094339it'll peak on the weekend
>>583094339nearly 3x ac7s peak, very nice
>>583091645boy if you hate dodging missiles just you wait til later. i love it, i don't think the game should even give you flares desu

>one bait post after another>the /v/ermintide keeps flowing>/aceg/ keeps falling for itCome now
literal 3/10, this game is UNIRONICALLY fucking dogshitI'm not even fucking kidding Mission fucking whatever to take Theve and the game is unplayable fucking trash where I just need to randomly be able to find some hidden fucking bullshit ground objectivesif I wanted to play faggot fudgepacking groundpounding sim for NIGGERS I would play DCS or whatever other fucking dogshit game focuses on thisI'm done man, I want my money backI don't believe this is the same studio that made AC7
>>583094620its fun
>>583094339wait for the weekend
>it's been so long since the last game that people have forgotten how to deal with release week retardsThe answer is don't
>>583094651>I don't believe this is the same studio that made AC7same game where you fly around in a literal sandstorm for 5 minutes looking for trucks in valleys to ground pound?
>>583094620we'll pass the storm soon enough. Just use your radar to detect incoming secondaries and newfags
all named ace requirements if anyone was curiousdidn't include any of the squadrons that show up automatically, mostly shadows i think
>>583094856I'd groundpound Tewy's sandstorm if you catch the SAAM I'm firing out there
>>583095054For some reason I find the>if you catch my...the peak of written comedy.
>>583094651>be bad at ground poundinglol noob
Did we do it, did we achieve mainstream success? or are we getting taken out behind the shed like armoured core.
>A-4 never ever: (
>>583094651>He plays an Ace Combat game and not expect a SCORE ATTACK GROUND POUND MISSION. lmao do you even play Ace Combat at all?
>>583095364If armored core didn't make it then we're getting fed to the dogs.
>>583095364didn't AC6 do really well
>F-15E is an attacker now>with those SP weaponsthat's certainly a choice
>>583095507I think all those Japanese 360 exclusives were sale failures.
does anyone else think the Gripen feels fatter than the Tomcat in this game? or is it just me?also, tips on using the gun more effectively? I killed all of M28 Shadow Squadron with it and I'm really chasing that rush
>>583095507It sold really badly due to being xbox exclusive and almost killed the franchise singlehandedly
>>583095574I meant armored core 6 in this context...
>>583095574>>583095624armored core 6
>>583095574Armored Core 6 dum dum
>>583095507Armoured core 6 did really well by anyone's metrics, except fromsoft I guess because it didnt sell a gorillion copies like slopsouls.
I thought Jenkins was going to drop a slur when he found out Tasha and her pop were Yukes
>>583095649>>583095663Oh
>are you sure? this is a ground strike mission :^)Fuck you game! Yes I'm fucking sure you're full of shit in the briefing! Now prep my fucking planes!
>>583095401It's every single fucking missionThere isn't a singe mission in this entire game that isn't "deal with five million ground targets and maybe you can fight one or two planes if we're feeling generous"just rename it to "Ground Combat 8" at this point
>>583094557RAILGUN WARNING>RAILGUN WARNINGRAILGUN WARNING>RAILGUN WARNING
>>583095750I kinda wish he got more play, or at least showed up in the plane equipment screens
>>583095380I would very much like to meme on Moon 11 with the A-4 just as a throwback to 2 and the FALKEN, but I shudder to imagine how much of a brick the A-4 would be in 8. Not that it handled well in 2 either.
>>583095364AC6.5 at Dorito Pope's yearly gaming circlejerk, trust.
>>583095585There's gun damage and gun range parts, too.
>>583095798>have literally no other options because we still use this shitty outdated upgrade tree>oooo maybe bring more anti-ground!?FUCKOFF
Why does everyone hate shadow 22 he does like nothing the entire game and dies instantly.
>>583095867>Thought his facial hair was kind of awesome when we first meet him>Every other character basically calls it a pedostachewtf
>>583095853Horrifying to think railguns in Strangereal are so common place that the Bitchin' Betties have them as a dedicated warning message.
>>583095721Even From is happy with it, they're just busy but you should be playing something new by late 2027 is plans don't change, shame that everyone's so busy right now.
>>583095809>There isn't a singe mission in this entire game that isn't "deal with five million ground targets and maybe you can fight one or two planes if we're feeling generous"Sounds just like Ace Combat 04 :^)
>>583095972Because the things he does do make him an asshole, like shooting at the parachute of a shot down pilot to bait another pilot.
>bring anti-ground>it's limited to like 3000-4000 at best, you still have to get well within the range of all the AA to actually drop it
dinner is served
>D.D.'s shoes have a picture of Kono on themFuggin lmao>>583096107Oh I didn't know they did a collab with the USS Lincoln
>>583095998I don't get why everyone's so mean to him, even as banter it came across as a bit rude.
>>583095364Bandai payed a fuck ton of influencers to play the game. According to itmeJP - they apparently flew a bunch of them out somewhere to play the game so they can learn how to play.I don't think any of them loved it though and dropped after the 2-3 hour sponsored mark.tl;dr: no, the normies just don't understand the appeal >>583095904VGAs and the Grammys don't know shit about Kobayashi's amazing songs.
holy fuck you can do that?https://x.com/nemo119nautiLus/status/2105309874628469057
on a scale of 1 to AC4 how good are the QAAMs at sniping enemy aces in this game?just got the superbug
Just did the math based off the emblems in the battle pass and most of the games will likely have 1 battle pass except for AC Zero and AC7 which have enough emblems for 3 battle passes each
oh boy, another dogshit ground missionIt's just going to be this for all 30 missions, huh?not a single meaningful fighter battle, just 30 missions of dogshit slop?
>>583096247The Soulstubers gave it more coverage than I expected but to be fair it's not an infinite content mine the way Souls games are with Michaelzaki's vagueposting. Also 6's multiplayer fell off a fucking cliff because it has the same metawhore issues that Ace Combat does. And weapons got nerfed in the campaign because of it too lol.
>>583096390
>>583096365qaams are gud af
>>583096345holy shit
is he going to do this all night?
>>583096390have you never played an AC game before? they are usually like 70% groundpounder missions by volume
I guess just rush the A10 and that's the only plane I'll need for the rest of this joke of an entry because they realized Ace Combat players DON'T like dogfightsidk why they even bothered adding a standard MP mode, why not just make it whoever can kill the most infinitely respawning SAMs in 10 minutes?
>>583096558A10 is garbage. I say this as someone balls deep into grinding it out.
>>583096345I've gotta try this next time, damn.
>>583096345Did that knock the inner treads off? That would be an insane shortcut
>>583096345I wonder if this needs the smaller planes like the doritoes to pull off.
>>583096009They put them on fucking everything, even planes!Seriously, every time someone in Strangereal goes "we need more firepower" their first answer is "railgun", followed by "lasers" and more recently "drones".I bet the Belkans are somehow responsible.
>>583096345I'm more impressed with how fucking deep and rugged Jap Cope's VA is. Dub team should of brought out Keith Silverstein or something to match
>>583096503As long as people give him attention.
>>583096558you can certainly try that buddy
>>583096390groundpounds are kinofuck chasing down spiraling missile avoiding niggers
>>583096690It's Kenjiro Tsuda (Tsuda Ken), he's basically A-list as far as Japanese voice actors go.
Coster's got a sick sword tattoo.
>>583096690What I love about his JP voice is that he just sounds done with EVERYTHING, even before he gets schwacked by the funny Fox 2.
I really like the hunchback in the Barricader
>>583096807>my idea of fun gameplay is spamming ordinance against stationary targetsGenuinely, is this the average /aceg/ player? Am I in the wrong franchise here for wanting aerial combat and I was just tricked into thinking this was a good franchise by AC7 when actually the core DNA of the game is "lock on to ground targets, drop bombs/AGMs on them, then lock onto more ground targets and do this for 10 minutes" with ace dogfights being the worst part of the game for the vast majority of people here because "it's too hard and they dodge my missiles :("
>>583095512I'm fairly unhappy about it. It handles like a fucking pig compared to the C and J. At least SFFSs are still baller.
>>583096829oh hey, I heard of this guy, especially comparing normal VAs to him and how base-y his voice sounds. Hope Bandai sees the numbers they're expecting with all these investments in AC8>>583096891I honestly love Cope's character. He's a good pilot but never became an Ace because he doesn't shoot people down. He just uses the environment to fuck them.
think i should be able to finish all S-Rank ace playthrough, no-damage, and gun-only playthrough by morning. that'd leave me with just the "complete campaign with only fighter/attacker/x/ medals to do which honestly not really looking forward to thosem28 is a slog though not looking forward to the mandatory 30 minute mission that sticks the assrape bossfight right at the end. can't wait to slam my head into that mission trying to do it gun only and no damage
>>583096690I actually think Cope's voice actor did very well and his voice fits in both languages for different reasons.
>>583097339for the no damage and gun only, do you have to do story mode or does free mission count? there are so many cutscenes to skip
Why are the missiles so fucking slow and barely turn in AC6?They weel like AIM-9Bs in war thunder
>>583094651
How old is Coster supposed to be anyways, because he looks like 30 but everyone treats him like an autistic 19 year old
>>583097790>skill issueI'm clearing the missions they're just literally zero fun, I am not enjoying the game at allevery mission is a chore with set piece window dressingthere's no substance or enjoyment
>>583097863He could just be an autistic 30 year old
>>583097693aim ahead of enemies until you get the SHOOT prompt and you get lead tracking, and they do more damage
>>583097863it's the hair and beard making him look older, according to the art book he'd normally be wearing a zoomer side-shaved man bun style but he's been stuck on the endurance for however long. i think he's in his early 20s or so
>>583097863I thought there was a bio thing that had his age listed as 29, but he strikes me as someone in his early twenties. Baxter states a few times to Rex that they need to watch over the kids who are Coster and Tasha.
Holy shit those Ace difficulty MiG-29s must have antimatter engines to move that god damned fast.
I need an ISAF hoodie now. That, or a shoop that turns that S into an R so Pixy can fight against the Bri'ish.
>>583097693See >>583097790You need to actually aim them and properly line up a shot. When you see the SHOOT icon and fire your missiles accordingly they'll have boosted performance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRa3MPLLR7Q
>>583098039I figured he's 24-25. Old enough to play the older brother role for Tasha but still be one of the kids to Baxter, Kate, and Rex. Though I place Rex in his mid 30s compared to Baxter who I believe is in his early 40s.
>>583098243Ace merch in general would be good.I'd take a motorcycle helmet, jumpsuits with emblems, hoodies, jackets, etc...
>>583080841I did this too
>>583098565They're releasing a jacket and shirt which I forgot to check the price of to see if I actually wanted to buy it.
>>583098534Baxter was born in September 1989, so 40.
>>583098534Baxter was 41 at the time of his death which you can get from his gravestone.
>>583097863mid-late 20s? the conversation about the ulysses stuff of 1999 really early on being before tasha's time included him as well. just an awkward fellow i guess.
>>583098708if you mean the bomber jackets and shirts, they're out : https://edwin-mall.jp/special_cdn/acecombat_en.htmlThe power level is a bit too high for me though. I like my gamer gear covert
Heavy attackers should be able to carry 3 special weapons.
>>583080841>>583098635I got it the first time but the mission hadn't updated yet and I crashed like a dumbass trying to stall for time lmao
>>583099069Yea, that's what I was talking about. >$250They're cool but not that cool.
>>583097863He's a Captain, which is usually late 20s. He looks older in his concept art.
>>583099256Dision looking dud
>try multiplayer>3 matches>returned to lobby all 3 times before anything happens because someone leftI want a refund
>>583099256i don't think anyone called him by his actual callsign a single time
>>583099256Not only does he look older, he looks like he could fold Toprak with his own two hands.
>>583098635>>583099069>The power level is a bit too high for me though. I like my gamer gear covertThe emblems on the bomber jacket are actually patches. It looks like the only permanent logo is the Project Aces diamond, which is pretty cool aince it's just a black/white reversible bomber with velcro panels for whatever patches you want.
>>583099101Do a Project Wingman and make "number of hardpoints/pylons/magazine" an actual balancing mechanic.So A-10s and Su-25s will get double XAGMs for double locks. Personally, if I made an AC clone, I'd have 3 plane types. Fighters are agile but with low firepower (hardpoints therefore RPM), Interceptors are fast but stiff, Attackers are well armed but slow.
>>583099591No one gets called by their callsign except for Rex, and even that gets changed to "Ray" half the time.
>120,000 to unlock level 20 on A10 for Rockets>They absolutely, irredeemably, suck ass Sigh.
>game officially released today>still no new drivers
finally got my growler to the level 20 cap (180k ZOLL and all my generic blueprints), so i can use 2 spw slots for the thing that every other EW plane gets as one SpW
>>583099965baxter got called professor by webb, at least
>>583100140Nothing is worth upgrading beyond level 10 imo.
>>583100128that's a blessingthe jeet vibecoded drivers have been shit forever now
>that one part in mission 8 why did they do that
>>583099654unfortunately that's a downside.Something pop media doesn't explain and keeps hidden is fighter pilots need to be between 5'4" to 5'10" and between 140-170lb.Otherwise the cockpit gets too small and the G-forces their body exerts break the plane. But short-kings can't have one of the coolest iconographs in modern society.
>>583100128Funnily enough, they even ask you to roll back to older drivers. At least on AMD.
>>583100296i'm probably going to grind the f-4e next because i hate myself but at the very least i wanted to dump all my blueprints into something cool and the buffs+debuffs are nice
THE OPERATION IS ALMOST OVER>connection timeout errorthis is genuinely worse than 7's mp and will die in a week
bread?
Remember to save me some trouble thread baker>>583063047
>>583100872>>583100949i'm on it
>>583099256He's a lieutenant. They fucked up the translation again.Navy lieutenant is equal to air force captain so it's not a huge deal but still.
>>583100805I just hope this and driver issues doesn't affect plans for AC9.It's a really solid entry and I want MORE
>>583095585>also, tips on using the gun more effectively?switch to type b reticle and dont forget that gun rounds travel farther than what the reticle appearance will lead you to believe, so if you can set up a near frontal aspect joust you can delete enemies before they even start evading
>Where's Featherhead?!>Did you check behind you?kek
The MP has bots, trannies. It will never die.
<< Paypigs and your wingmen are already airborne, take off and form up with poorfag 1 /aceg/ >>>>583101954>>583101954>>583101954>>583101954
>>583097006>It handles like a fucking pigfuck. thanks for confirming that for me.
>>583086160Was very happy to see our rancher gal come out of that in one piece.
>>583086347Yeah the movement of the other aircraft in the prologue was unusually janky for a game that typically has impeccable flight animation.
>>583089354>North Point doesn't like the FCUGuess that's why their main base was called Fortress Intollerance
