I enjoyed Ace Combat 8 a lot. Easily one of the best stories and the best soundtrack. Sucks that it peaks with Mission 28 and 30 is just filler, though.
How is PvE?
What was the OP plane for AC8 Online again?
I finished first playthrough with JP is it worth it doing english or should i just stick with JP
>M8 ruined by Purple Magic>M28 ruined again by Purple MagicI wish that instead of Tonitrus Spears the first move Sotoa made was using the Land Battleship to run over these niggers
>>583102638we like purple magic here
>LCAC destroyed because I'm chasing the first Mach 3 capable Su-25s
>>583102638fag
>done with 8>now the only thing holding up the series is the shitty multiplayer for the next 7 years until AC9we're in for some turbulence
I'm in love
>>583102865They'll almost certainly do a DLC mission pack
Can you be part of multiple online squadrons yes or no
>>583103090NTA, but you think they'll do missions set during the war like AC7, or missions relating to the post-war rise of GR?
>>583103215yes
>>583103215up to 3 i think
>>583102865It's probably going to be 4-5 years, assuming there isn't another plandemic like covid
>>583103252>>583103289ThanksI'll join /aceg/ in a moment
With how much emphasis there is on the helmets in the story's characters, it's a bit of a missed opportunity to have helmets act like the "player character" in Online instead of a human. Get patterns and stickers representing preferences and accolades.
>>583103471Oh, it's not in the OPI'm assuming we're the 404th, right? 70688023?
Literal perfection. Why use any other plane when this cute little duck can do it all?
I love that even the fictional scifi UFO planes like the Nightmare and the Game get drop tanks, really enhances the believability of these designs.
>>583102865i lived through 7 years of ac7 i can wait for ac9...
>>583103742it can do everything except beat pakis in chinkshit jets
>>583103725yes it is, and yes that's the one. The OP needs to be reformatted (again) though, I made it in a hurry. We can probably drop the AC7 shootout stuff
>>583103234Either pre-war stuff dealing with Sotoa, or post-war stuff dealing with a more explicit GR dominance angle
>w<why are all the planes so phallic looking?
>>583104036pointy cocks are air-o dykenamek
>>583104036The best flyers are those that can best penetrate the air
Happy Release Day /aceg/! :)I'm so excited. I know all of you probably got to play the game over the week but I'm still glad I can experience this from Day 1.
>hearing Hortus Regis Alti for the first timeWhat kind of tone deaf inside saboteur led Bandai to fucking release Everflow early to hype up the release. They should of released Hortus Regis and spared everyone the whelming comments and worry about Kobyashi losing his touch.
bamco the replays are godlike as usual buti'm fiending for a fucking REWIND button please it's been 30 years
>>583103725Oh I just closed the game, wait until tomorrow
>Dialogue D-pad from AC5>Some weird meta-narrative going on>Same good gameplay from 7>Same gorgeous soundtrack and worldbuildingOnly the intro in and I'm already in love. Holy fuck, could it really be that a good game actually released in 2026?
>>583104462I'm loving it all Jerry
>>583104462Schizo protags are always kino
>>583103836that doesn't count because it was piloted by literal indian retards
Page 100 of the artbook confirms Strangereal had a WWII that took place in the 1940's
>>583104687I'm guessing something else entirely is going on but I'll wait until I actually finish the game to say what I think it is
>play first game of warfare>one tapped by missiles that don't alertSo much for EAC lmao
>>583105038you probably just got morgan'd
Maybe I missed something, but what was going on with the V-22 in mission 25? Was that just supposed to be an AC7 reference?
>no dialogue for warcriming like 22missed opportunity
>>583105493if you didn't notice, you are using state of the art FCU bullets that does 0 damage to parachutes
>>583105562i also physically smacked both of the pilots with my plane via PSM kek but my instant replay shortcut is alt+F5 and i hit alt+F4 trying to take the clip like a fat finger fuckface so i don't have the replay to watch it. would've been funny as hell
>>583105470No. Retreating V-22s is just something AC likes to do.
>>583104210be sure to take the 2-3 day 4chan break Buddy!We've been real good with spoilering, but there are incidentsEnjoy!!!
>>583105470It was the two top-dogs of the Sotoan offensive for the Air Force and the Army trying to escape.
what plane to invest in multiplayerthe grind is retarded so I don't want to waste resources
>>583105884And I think Tewy straight up conspired to make sure their evacuation would be as exposed as possible because she fucking hated them.
>>583105884this. there's dialogue later on in m28 where i think it was pike who makes the comment that she's surprised that Satoa is able to mount a coordinated 1000 man air attack without any commanding officers left
Sotoa got BTFO'd by Yuktobania.So they rapidly militarized and built giant land battle ships of death.....and invade Usea....Did I miss something? Why the hell didn't they attack the Yukes next door instead of sailing across the world. It would have been kino to play in notRussia as well
How to PSM?
>nobody knows how tlo fly but meI desperately need deathmatch to be available
Well I just had the chance to finish the game. Overall it was fun, but I can't help but feel like AC7 was more enjoyable to me. I don't really know to explain it, maybe it's just because I've replayed 7 a shit ton but AC7 just felt better. There's a lack of planes I'd consider Ace Combat staples missing from AC8, YF-23 and Su-37. Also the special weapons were less exciting, AC7 straight up had railguns on normal planes, which I though was really fucking cool. This battle pass bullshit doesn't sit well with me either, I really don't care about the MP, though tbf I haven't tried it yet but I'd rather just play SP. Hopefully in the future someone can mod the game to just add all future battle pass content into the base game. Anyone else feel the same way?
Can anybody confirm whether you need to do story mode for the no damage/gun-only medals or if free mission is possible? I would imagine free mission works cuz otherwise if you fuck up and accidentally continue past a mission you got hit in or used a missile in you have to start the whole campaign over, not that I did that or anything ha-ha
>extremely japanese looking guy>is Nikolai from Yuktobania
>>583106349They need land because theirs is fucked. Who do you invade? The world-class superpower on your doorstep? Or the politically fractured poorfags across the sea who are almost as likely to immediately defect as to fight?
>>583105979morgan
>>583106971the morgan is pretty shit though, it's just a noobstomper
>>583106349The FCU absorbed most of the other nations on Usea as member-states, but their inability to add up has lead to a lot of unrest and political fracturing, like >>583106960 indicates. It's why the FCU immediately shattered and even fractured into Sotoa-supporting separatists when the war started.
>>583106960They also want to enslave the people from the lands they invade to unfuck theirs.
>>583106914Everything east of Sweden is literal Mongol rape babies, that's just a tan Russian.
>>583104879Game when?
>>583106651I'm choosing to believe that future battlepasses will have superplanes as paid but will also add standard planes to the standard shop. And they'll be in single player too. And it's impossible to prove me wrong at this point so I'll keep believing that for as long as I can.
>>583107216
>>583107301I doubt they'll add new standard planes because there is no shot they're negotiating more licenses unless ACO becomes Fortnite huge by some stroke of ungodly luck.
>>583106914The istans North of China and South of Russia be like that. I met a Khazakstanii who literally looked oriental with the almond eyes and everything, but was a slave body and soul.
Finally a good track.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yuP_h6ba_c
>>583107108I do wonder what the fuck is going on in the heads of people who want to immediately ally with the dudes whose opening shot was orbital nuking Expo City. Separatists keep claiming that the FCU was inefficient and neglectful or whatever but how is that anywhere in the same tier as that? It's not like they just decided to not fight and stay out of Sotoa's way either, they have all kinds of enthusiastic factions hunting down FCU remnants. FCU servicemen must have some serious bants if the Southern Wiapolo Air Force guys are not only still seething but listing it as a primary reason they won't ally with the FCU and will fight with Sotoa.
>>583107216After 9 probably. They've ran out of timeline to loop back too. 10 years remain in between the end of AC8 and AC3.
>>583107216After you finish the campaign for the first time.
I'm happy we're all back together.
>>583104879makes me wonder who was fighting who and who won. Belka was pretty big before losing it all, and we know they had a "legendary air force"
>>583107510>I do wonder what the fuck is going on in the heads of people who want to immediately ally with the dudes whose opening shot was orbital nuking Expo City.If Russia or China nuked NYC tomorrow half of the US would worship them as saviors of the West, because this godforsaken country is spiritually bankrupt.
So Scramble and Emergency Sortie, just sit around in the lobby til they proc, or are they one of those things that happens after playing X amount of matches?
>>583107510Didn't make sense to me too until modern American politics. Like holy shit - balkanization is real and happens easily. Lose a few elections here and there, sprinkle in a few regionally divisive policies, and culturally diversify per region and voila.
>>583107639AC7 was the "we're so back" momentAC8 is the "and we're here to stay"
I've play the prologue flight 3 times.beauty of a start.
>>583107765So will 9 be the game where we find out we never left in the first place?
gotta say though the radio chatter is so thick that I can't actually appraise the music after doing 10 missions.and I keep forgetting to turn some sounds down since you can't do it mid-mission
There goes all my mrp
>>583107765>Hire famous VAs in Japan>Actually use VAs for the English dub instead of the homeless shelter>Miniseries with the best of the best B list actor names>Huge sponsorships across many influencers and streamers>Host a twitch tournamentThe investment is fucking huge.I'm scared to be honest. Bandai is expecting this to go viral and it's just too niche
>>583107732random chance after playing matches
>>583107779i watched that trailer about 5 times a day in the week leading up to release
Finally tried a mission with the Game. Can confirm this things fucks hard. It handles so good it feels like cheating. I didn't particularly prioritize it because it's debut is being handled by noobs who gets shot down easy which makes it come off as kind of lame. It looks and flies like a real endgame plane, definitely will whip this out if I want to just cheese a mission. The difference between how high tier and low tier planes handle in this game is way too big. The F/A-18C turns so badly some missions feel unplayable, especially after you've flown in something better.
>>583107557>10 yearswe can fit at least 6 more wars in that time period
>Wings isn't running away>AIIIIEEEEEE HELP
can me femra join the squadron? >w<
>>583108018Guessing you mean the Morgan?
>>583107453Well, the YF-23 is already in the game as an enemy so they can at least add that.AH/ACI/AC7 all added a bunch of planes as DLC or updates so it's possible.
>>583108101I do find it kind of funny.>Ha, these are the guys who fly away all the time, what a joke, FCU chumps->WAIT WAIT WAIT THEY'RE FLYING TOWARDS US OH FUCK OH FUCK I WASN'T READY TO ACTUALLY FIGHT-
>>583107453There's still an untapped Chinese, Japanese, and Korean jet licenses.
>>583108389And the Turks.>Turkroaches got an operational domestic 5th gen fighter before ANY actual Eurofag country
>>583108221No, it gets introduced in the story as the training shitters plane which i assume that's what anon meant by noobs
>>583107723>>583107760Balkanization was a powder keg built out of ethnic and religious tensions older than the US itself. Meanwhile if Russia attacked NYC the nation would be united in calling for blood overnight, look at what happened after 9/11. US politics are bad but they aren't civil war tier bad. Don't let clickbait culture warp your perception, nobody realistically would assess that large swathes of the US population would side with anyone other than the states outside of isolated nutjob communities. Independent of whether anyone wants that it's not likely to happen.
>>583107948>all this investment and they couldn't pay to spend 5 seconds ticking a checkbox in the EAC control panel to allow Linux on ACOSad!
>>583102865Whats worse is this online is so bad it'll kill future coop
>>583108221Nah, the F/A-36.
>>583108470Oh the FA-36.Okay yea that makes sense.Fuck Gemma though.
>>583108221'Game' is the chosen nickname for the fa36 >>583103324
>check trading card prices>they were selling for over a dollar each during early accessShit, I should have paid extra. I would have gotten to play earlier and gotten the season pass and the trading cards would have paid for it.
I'm so glad the game runs ok. I tried turning everything to ultra at first and I guess it was still compiling shaders and I was getting single digit frames during the prologue. Now I'm running a mix of high and ultra.
>>583108243ADF-11F too, someone posted a screenshot of it last thread
>expo city>literal nugget squadron>down the leader, who bails out>subsequently kill everyone else in her squadron and the other squadron>leader gets surrounded on-ground and kills herself to avoid getting capturedThat's uh a bit much compared to normal, no?
>>583108791>ignore the Su-35 vets>rush in and massacre the nugget squadron while they watch in horror and scream at me through the radio[/spoiler[
While I like the chant that plays with Sol Squadron more, the chant in the Shadows theme is far more suitable for constant use.
>>583108540Nah, it's bad here. The Dems are losing power and the DSA is on the rise who give 0shits about compromising. And the Republicans have long been taken over by the red hats who raided the Capitol over 1 (singular) election. Add to that the mayor of NYC thinks he's more powerful than the governor of NY and has a platform for international politics.It's not civil war bad. But I can see the US splitting in my lifetime unless some shit reunites the US identity
>>583105979I would argue any Fighter or Multirole that you like in the final few levels of your pilot level. The problem is all missions are going to have a mix of air and ground targets with the exception of Scramble which is 100% air. Ground targets evaporate easily to guns and missiles, and taking bombs/SFFS speeds it up slightly but not much. And electronics are just, rubbish. You press a button and maybe it slightly makes things easier for a short while. Great. Really amazing addition and skill expression there.
>>583108791I honestly love how the veteran shadows abandoned the ground forces to protect the nuggies.I killed them all and made the nuggets watch.
>>583106349Their land is fuckedThe guys on the other side of the ocean have land that's not fucked.
>>583109265The land next to them isn't fucked. No ocean crossing needed.
>>583109353The land next to them clapped their ass in the first place to put them in that situation.
I want the DLC to be insane Newtype and Electrosphere bullshit
Is Tewy a fraud compared to Voychek
Fun fact: Fatsia's fusion reactor is powering a massive desalination plant that pipes water back to the mainland (which is blown up now I guess lmao)Instead of spending 50 trillion on superweapons they could've just used that technology to irrigate the shit out of their land and not kill literally hundreds of thousands of civilians
>>583109639shut up libtard
>>583108540I'm being hyperbolic because I think it's funny and because I have a dismal opinion of my countrymen, but shit is bad here. The house may not be collapsing yet but that fire in the kitchen's starting to spread to living room and I don't know how much longer have to put it out. And a lot of people think Memedani is the literal Antichrist and the predecessor to an Islamic jihad in America so I just picked NYC off the top of my head. My real point was that a bad enough crisis can make people say 'fuck it' and throw their lot in with their invaders or people who are intending to exploit their country. I could see my own state doing it, which would be hilarious because my state is practically a third world country.But that whole logic only works if the invader is offering a good deal. The Sotoans seem like they're pretty hands off with their new allies, unless something later in the campaign shows they aren't.
So what the hell was Tewy's plan in the end? She already knew Enso was pulling the strings so why waste the entire air force taking a single island?
>>583104239there were comments like that? all i saw were usual sappy shit like>bro i can imagine this in the final battle! i am the crying!!! epic!!
>>583109541>picI love these Strangereal notSpics. especially how they agreed to help you and you have to sneak with them across the territory promising you a plane. Then you finally get to the hanger and it's the dumb barely flying piece of shit you protected last mission.
>>583108941>Left the veteran leader alive>He begs the nugget leader to stay alive, to fly again>"It would've been better to die up there...">BANG
>>583106349They would have gotten rekt by the yukes again
>>583109639But the defense budget!
>>5831097492 prong strategy.she knew she could take on anyone, but Rex was a wildcard. So she sends everyone to you to ground you, or at best stall you long enough for her to nuke Theve
>>583109842No fucking way, does that actually happen?
how does the bomber collateral works?never seem to work
>>583109980Yeah, had it happen my first run throughDidn't leave him alive for the second run though
>>583109796Yes./v/ and YouTube were full of "whelming" posts, others were willing to wait to see in context before judging. All of it could have been avoided if they just released the real theme from the start.
It would have been cool if the game brought back the Ace Style gauge making the Yes/No mechanic influence it letting you be a fucking bloodthirsty killer making Cope seethe. Just let me kill everyone please
>>583104036Phallic = PowerWe literally shoot eachother with penis shaped bullets
Do you have to play every difficulty to get all the medals? I need some MRP so I figure I may as well start on those if I have to, otherwise I'll just stick to Elite
OHAYOU
Anyone catch mission 17 enemy ace yet?Hint is "destroy all targets before the bomber reaches the halfway point"Have cleared the map before the timer hits 3 minutes, maybe they mean before the timer starts?Or its a stealth jet u gotta go look for
>The F-35's frontal landing gear has a fucking marketing blurb printed on itLOCKHEED
>>583110406>Runs you over on the runway>"Buy Lockheed!" is printed on your corpseWhoever figures out how to turn bombs into proper stamps is going to be a billionaire
>>583110257They teased part of it in one of the trailers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW6zBuO7sb4But I liked that they hid it a bit, it's cooler when you didn't know it was coming and catches you off guard.
>>583109798Hey the escort target was a C-130
>>583110406I mean I knew Lightning-chan was a slut but that's next level.
>>583110361A Buddy shared the full list earlier. Attached here if you want it. For 17 you have to defeat all targets before the bombers get to the halfway point to spawn him
I think the F35 is an ugly PoS but it feels way better in this game than in 7.
>>583110632Thing is I think I've already done this, IDK what exactly they mean by halfway but I've slammed on superjets in free mission to clear everything asap and never saw it on the map.
>>583108462That's because eurofags can't fucking agree in how to defend their own country.The Rafale was created because France seethed at the Typhoon's specs and quit the program
>>583110634Maybe they'll add an F-35A some day. It looks better. According to me.ACI did it so it's possible.
>play Attacker online>every Fighter on my team decides to go after ground targets preferentially????????????????
>>583110775(Replying to myself)On ace difficulty btw so aces should be able to spawn.(heard they cant spawn unless ur on vet or ace)
>>583102865the whole reason they merged project aces and that idolmaster support studio was to speed up development, plus we don't have the covid setback nowa lot of the assets for this game should be high quality enough to stick around in a future game so hopefully we'll get AC9 in less than five years
>>583110781Which is also why FCAS is dead, but to be fair the Germans also played a part in that. Maybe Italy can get in on GCAP.
Is it possible to prevent the spear strike in mission 24 by shooting down the airship? i have not been able to catch up to it
>>583109552You mean Pasternak? Voychek is the fraudiest ace in the series, guy gets a booboo on his foot and retires in a world where you can have any belkan scientist design a super plane for you no matter how much of a cripple you are.
what specific unit am i supposed to kill for the medal in paint it blue?i litteraly cleared the entire map, is it aces?
>>583110781I mean, no shit there. France has an aircraft carrier so they wanted a carrier capable plane. Nobody else had an aircraft carrier so they didn't care. It was inevitably going to go wrong.The confusing thing was France getting involved at all instead of everyone seeing that it wasn't going to work right from the start.
>>583109353>fight one of the two largest superpowers, particularly the one that already pushed your shit in>or go start War #36 in Explodsylvaniain reality the answer is fight whoever your crypto-MIC-daddy points you at
>>583110861Hmm, don't know then Anon. I'm saving my ace run for a good long weekend.Glhf finding them though!
>>583109798I did point at the screen like that one meme gif when I saw it had the ISAF logo on it to be honest
>>583106914>not Hawaiian
>>583105493I think most war crime prohibitions are good but decades of videogaming where airchavs are continuously the most obnoxious and entitled bunch makes me say it should probably be legit to kill parachuting pilots just because. Fighter / bomber pilots at the very least.I mean, can you be SURE they aren't armed? We all know they're bailing out with a little pistol in case they run into a bear or some shit.
>>583108389There is also the Project Wingman planes.They threw in a few references from PW, I'm sure there's a collab in the works
What's meta rn in ace combat online? I want my jet to not suck ass. Is the Rafale top tier? I ran LACM/LAAM in the campaign and it worked like a charm.
>tasha telling me to run from nigga22LOLLMAO EVEN
>the tasha trading card is twice as expensive as the other oneslol
>>583110950Don't think so.There's a lot of stuff in the game that looks like it ought to be preventable, if not with meta-knowledge and better planes than the first go-through, then with in-universe knowledge if GhostCope's memory wasn't so fuzzy.It's ripe for a "golden route" DLC where Cope remembers what the numbers mean early in various missions. He's even got that monologue at one point where he wonders if it'd be possible to change the future or if this was all fated.
CALL ME UUUUUUUP I'VEGOT TO FEEEEEEEL ALIIIIIIVECALL ME UUUUUUUP HIGHSET ME FREEEEEE TO FLYMY BLUE SKY HOME
finally back after finishing the campaignthe last couple missions after the big attack were boring and the story completely fell flat on its ass, some cool moments but not many that stuck with me. music was pretty alright, going through it on its own now. overall 8/10
>>583111505Jets are worth way more than ground targets, so unless you're Morgan-ing to every cluster first, whatever has QAAMs and lets you dogfight the absolute best. This is doubly true in the PvEvP mode where the score multipliers mean you're just going to run away with it if you can quickly kill jet after jet.It's not impossible to do well just ground attacking or even get MVP, but it's highly dependent on how many fucking Pixys are in the lobby or whether your team follows your ass and picks at your plate the entire time.
>>583111623Cope doesn't really care about FCU or the world thoughhis only goal was to fulfill his promise and save his waifu from herself by killing her
>>583111478>They threw in a few references from PWAny you can mention without spoilers? I know Dip's VA is Dealer in the English dub.
>>583111787He might feel different if he has some success at turning history around.Rex having early successes would also bee-line him for a showdown with Moon 11, make her realize the futility of her plan, or potentially stop her from excessesobviously it's not fun if that fully happens but he can't know that yet
>>583111814There's this little tidbit:https://youtu.be/y67ykByFT3Q?t=55https://youtu.be/gRa3MPLLR7Q?t=42The more obtuse one is a bit of a spoiler
>>583111814Faust's VA is your plane's automated warning voice.
>Morgans in ACO are either complete nuggets or absolutely terrifying when flown by someone who loves flying itIs it true?
>>583112060>Faust's VAHuh, let me check her other roles and...>>>>>2B.....well that's unexpected
>>583112286They gave every battlepass buyer the Morgan and every early access buyer gets a battlepass. So virtually everyone was flying the ADFX.Time will tell how it balances out
>Scramble>"Here comes the boom..."AWW SHIT
>>583112028Ooh that's neat.>>583112060>>583112363Now that you mention it the voice did sound kinda familiar. I also saw someone mention that they thought either Prez or Eye Tee's VA had a role as the ensign on the Bravery during mission 10.
No context needed
>>583112430It'd be funny if they brought in the simp squadron and other aces from past games for the Scrambles.
i would say burn sotoa to the ground but they kinda did it already themselves innit
>>583112740I was expecting that to be the case, fighting old ace squadronsBut this current version has been fun too, I got the shock of my life when an NPC Morgan started TLSing at me
>>583112783imagine being so stupid that in your lust for modernization, industrialization, and otherwise advancing technology that you completely destroy your once-beautiful national environmentsurely any reasonable people would only get, like, 10% of the way there, see the horrors unfolding to their beautiful land, and reverse course or otherwise take steps to ensure the health and longevity of natureright
I think that one anon's idea of the DLC campaign being essentially just a remake of Ace Combat Advance's plot with GR being like 'lol didn't count, we're gonna exist and be prominent anyway' at the end would be total kino.
so what the fuck was that land battleship doing at stonehenge? or did i just fall for satoan disinfo?

Can anymore he give me tips for mission 8 I am not very good at this game
so what's the better MG plane now, i still have to do the gun only campain, i'm not doing fishbed shit again in this game
>>583112941good thing this is just a work of fiction and the events shown here have no parallels to anything in the real world, i mean how stupid would that be, chasing modernization and technology at the cost of the entire enviromentright?
>Hate kill-stealers with a passion>Entire multiplayer is build around kill-stealing
>>583113193i'd have to doublecheck but i think the fishbed is the only plane with MGP
>>583113237i've seen it on the A10 as well but fuck that.the SU-57 seems to have retarded damage on its MG tho, wondering if other planes have it as good.Pixy MG dps seems pretty high as well
Bold and original Ace Combat 9 prediction: there will be a new original plane that is just a Sukhoi model modified enough to look original but not enough to stop looking like a Sukhoi
>>583104462onimusha was good too
>>583103750Imagine all the iterations between the Nightmare and Night Raven
>has enough technology to create amphibious battleship>still uses normal warships in "Numbered Fleets"What's wrong with Sotoans?
>>583113186What do you think you're struggling with?Also, just as a quick thing to say already, you can always go to Free Mission and grind out MRP for better gear and planes
>>583113186Are you failing due to mission objectives? Grab anything with 4AGM and toodle around the map blowing up all the special ground targets.Are you getting blown up by jets and shit?Get one of the EWAR planes and either give it to a wingmate or fly it yourself. Turn on ESM so you can obliterate everything with godlike tracking (telling your wingmates to use special weapons will do the same if you've given one of them the EA).
>>58310604522 later said we also unwittingly did tewy a favor by blowing up fatsia and saving her the effort of dealing with the leadership there
>>583113457i've never tried those, is the ESM that good?i kept taking QAAMs but they've been very disapointing in this game so far
>>583113326The Felon has that 30mm cannon so it does more damage.
>>583113371>what's wrong with a military that names almost literally all of their shit with generic Latin like babby's first MMO guildwe were two missions away from getting some LUX AETERNA / AETERNA LUX shit, mark my wordsinb4 hegseth starts doing this shit with the US military too
>>583113237Frogfoot also has it
>>583113393I get a game over right after the qte with pinky because the ground forces got eliminated, honestly I don't really understand wtf I'm even supposed to do in this mission I try to destroy most of those dangerous orange marked places and kill everything that HQ or whatever tells me to kill but I guess I'm not doing then in order. Probably restart and try again tomorrow after grinding currency
>>583113550ESM turns every standard missile into something better, tracking-wise, than a QAAMit is absurd how brain-off you can go and still get kills at silly angles when it's running
>>583113584real military unironically use edgy teenager names because they think it's cool
>>583113223We have become war thunder
>>583109942>nuke theveI think she was actually trying to DIRTY BOMB theve with Xanthos' core (does Xanthos run fission or fusion?), so the tonitrus is wasted on the Xanthos (if xanthos can tank the spear that would be hilarious) and the enso property is left standing
>>583113625Orange/red marks only mean a high value score, red circles are objectives but if they're far from where you need to be, you can wait for them to come to youIf there are targets of any colour, even white, where you need to defend, that's who you need to be shootingIf they say defend the ground forces, wipe out everything that could be attacking themAnd make use of your teammates and their special weapons, they're pretty effective this time around
what if the emmerian citizen from mission 30 happened to be matilda?she would've been in her early 20s during the events of the game
Which trading cards did you guys get?

ok so in what order is the top 3 now? 0,4,8? 0,8,4? 4,0,8?
>>583114128I've got Baxter, Jenkins and Kate, I'll be keeping my Kate
Kate died
>>583114128i got the best ones lol
>>583113223Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
>>583114128I completed the campaign and didn't get a single one, do I need to play multiplayer or go online on Steam for them?
>>583114128not bad
i actually wanted to see yuktobania end up intervening and rolling in with a fleet of alicorns, and osea show up with their newest bird themed war machine (if not an arsenal bird variant but not isev-powered and less autonomous)all according to enso's keikaku
>>583101954Which one are you dreading the most?
>>583114648without taking damage for sure, not even sure how on some missions
fishbed? fishbed
>>583101954So from what I've gathered from this, you should level up your aircraft right up until it starts asking for general purpose blueprints, and then you should only focus on aircraft you like?
>>583114648Damage one, the gun one will be easy with the Migger-21
>>583114648None of them, they are very workable if you are not trying something stupid like doing both at the same time. I am actually dreading the plane type only ones the most, doing 30 missions 3 times is going to be a slog.
>>583114707with this my nug

>>583114929That's just two autists hard-carrying a couple of mediocre pilots. Other team did just fine themselves with better point spread.
Bandog would have shot this bitch out of the sky shortly after
Has anyone tried the tyler island huge raid mod for ac7? >3 arsenal birds>alicorn
>>583114648No damage sounds like a fun challenge run, guns only is just a slog.
>>583115054I don't have AC7 on peecee
Oh cool, Week 1 challenges don't go away after Week 1

>>583115029i wanted to shoot tasha out of the sky on 25 when she started crying like a child
>>583114929what would PC matter when most people are using a controller for this regardless of system
>>583114997fishbed also has QAAMs so it's a sleeper. only bad thing about it is its low parts slottage
>>583114948I see, good to know.
>>583115138im in the same boat, stay the course anon
>>583115029to be fair i want to believe 90% of their plan was hedging on tasha just running her mouth
Does the MiG-21 have secret superplane performance like in 7?
>>583115167pc gamers are more autistic and better
>>583115154NGL jealous Coster probably got some pity sex after his Purple Magic people died and it was mutual when Kate "died" no one made love to me after Baxter died :(
>>583115029Well the good news was that the '''secret weapon factory''' thing was SUPPOSED to leak in order to divert the Landship's attention. Tasha still should've kept her trap shut though.
>>583115167Not related to the online topic but PC means potential for mods
>>583115340"rex" went to Theve post-game and picked up Moon11's corpse and used it
I hate being slow ;_: game is making a cuckold out of me.
>>583115651It can be worseYou can be in an AC-10 watching your team follow you and swoop in at everything you lob UGBs at instead of, you know, using their fucking missiles on the sky targets
Online missions needs to be way longerLike 20 minutes or somethingAlso Ace of Aces when???
>>583115651>morgans everywhereyou guys deserve eachother
>>583115412it's still fresh just a little airborne
>>583115956why didnt you save her
>>583116010new game + DLC
the fact she's crippled and the talk about the neural link in the clip is totally a hint at the COFFIN system right? Hell her aircraft has the initials DOE like ZOE from 3
>>583116361Anon, DOE is also 3It's Naito Reben
>>583116361Yep. Plane is controlled by direct neural connection, though it seems like it uses some kind implant like Rena and not a simpler interface like ENSI.
uninstalled it. dont care for infinity 2 and the campaign really didnt get me like i hoped it would. see you buddies in another 10 years maybe
>>583116010She's Sotoan
>>583114825Thank goodness the F-15E is an attacker now.
>>583115956I think her body landed on enso's property that got tonitrus'd and that's why nobody recovered it
>>583117046guess you can say she's a general freeuse resource now :^)
I didn't have any single problem in the whole game, but how do you Ace diff+S clear + kill Ace pilot the Wings of Wax mission, the one with the two rapist bombers? I've tried with the X-40 railgun but it seems the engine take little to no damage. The UAVs gets raped right off the rail from CWISSAAM and LAAM don't really work because you can engage the bastard only under 2km
>>583114128Those will be easy. Also on the aircraft tree there's a powerup that basically lets you take some amount of damage before actually chipping at your HP
what the FUCK am i supposed to kill for the fucking campain medal in 25
Ah yes, now that is properly cinematicHow long does this intro last holy shit
>>583117884stop crying and enjoy the ride you fucking tiktok low attention span animal

i want to have my terminus fingered
Land battleship literally parked at Stonehenge; they don't retrofit one of the rail guns to their shit. Nor do they modify it to draw energy generated by the space elevatorI'm starting to think the Sotoans are retarded desert people.
So what's the point of the drop tanks? Just LARP?
I might be retarded but I couldn't find an option to remove the controls list from the screen, tell me this is only for the tutorial mission
>>583119001yes
>>583117325Take Felon, equip the 2 gun parts, spam qaam and hcaa. Gun the Ace down while he's approaching, your gun has like 2k range.
>>583117325I managed to do it with 4x Morgan lol. When in range you just press "UP" for forward attack and "RIGHT" for special weapons, you hear "Here comes the snow" in your head and see the fireworks>>583119001Yes, and it's great.
>>583117325Have you considered just splitting the ace kill and S rank requirements?
wtf was that final mission
>>583104239Is it contrarianism? Everflow is just as good as that song. I don't understand how people can hype up Daredevil and shit on everflow. Daredevil is an awful climax song.
>>583108791Mavisimen only dies if you shoot both her squadron AND Ventus squadron.Obviously not shooting her down will leave her unscathed, but shooting her down and sparing Ventus will have him asking her to surrender and not throw away her life.
>>583119268
>>583111505It's harder to pin down a specific meta in Co-Op because teams which all bring the same thing lose to those where players specialize for specific roles. The 3 niches which have emerged so far are Dogfighters, Snipers, and Attackers.Dogfighters are very effective against Players or NPC air targets. Usually using Sp.W like QAAM, but highly-mobile planes make them good all-round. No specific builds have stood out as meta yet.Snipers focus on getting PvP kills with LAAM or HVAA. They are much less efficient at killing NPC targets and but earn points by catching enemy players unaware or hitting high value targets form afar. Less useful in purely PvE modes. Ground-pounding in an attacker can earn a LOT of points (my highest scores are all from A-10) but as >>583111770 said it depends on other players. Teams with an attacker will easily out-score teams without one, but only if the others focus on air-targets instead of stealing ground kills.
>>583118984They strapped one of the guns to Fatsui, their Megafloat, what are you going on about?
>>583119546Daredevil is good, but Everflow is on a whole other level of awesome.Everyone everywhere was also hyping that fucking song up SINCE the few notes we heard in the trailer. I dunno what that other anon is talking about >>583119428Emotional relief gimmick mission, made to wrap up the story and also less ADHD to make you hear\read the radio chatter. We had some of those before, like the SOLG
So how's the PC performance?
>>583119645I have no intention of playing PvP. Is the PvE component sustainable enough for level grinding and shit?
>>583119752>like the SOLGoh so its shit then
>>583118984Those guns are completely fucked.
what's with the VTOL that tries to escape in M25it has a couple lines if you kill it but I completely missed what that whole thing was about
>>583119894im getting about 100 FPS at 1080p, all medium amd FSR.R5 7600XRX 907032GB DDR5-6000no drops for now, but i had to reinstall my driver, the game would crash on startup and tell me to get an older one.

>>583120203>muh zoomer muh /v/erminLast time I saw apologies for shitty final missions with gay melodrama for children was there so I dunno.
>>583118984they already have smaller versions and even the last semi-operational gun was fucked after firing one last time
>>583108941Did exactly this. Fuck women.
>>583120442Out of curiosity, you are an american right?
>>583119908Yeah the two main modes are Co-Op Assault which is purely PvE, and Co-Op Warfare, which also includes PvP. Both give similar rewards, though Assault gives slightly more XP while Warfare gives slightly more Zoll (which doesn't seem to be much of a limiting factor to the grind). The special modes are purely PvE too.
>>583120279OkayIt's funny cause I'm pretty sure I picked skip tutorial when they asked
so nis fat amy the best carrier plane available right now?
>>583120716Raw stats wise its the Game. Rafale has better SWP selection too imo.
>>583120716After you finish the game, it's the FA-36 Game
>>583120776>the Gamethe growler?
>>583115651You're morganfag you deserve the rope. Fuck all morgan players. Hope they kick your crutch out from under you and nerf this piece of shit.
>>583120442What are you even playing Ace Combat for if not gay melodrama for children?
>>583120895Spoiler if you didn't finish the game yet>picrel
>>583120879oh oki dont know all the plane nick namesalso are there planes with lasers?
>>583120993I don't get these people. That's the whole fucking pointsTo be a fucking knight slaying dragons. The only difference is that your sword is a jet and the dragon is an almost incomprehensible superweapon.
>>583119428Yeah im absolutely in love with the game but this is one of the lamest wackest final missions in the series. It really fucking sucks. A submarine? And not even a Alicorn-like one? Come the fuck on. And it wastes so much of your time too. Its not exciting. My beloved wife Tewy was the real climax of the game.
>>583120993For the sick gameplay, and not every AC is AC5
>>583116361>game that sets up AC3 has references setting up AC3>"guys is this a reference to AC3"What's with the increasing number of dumbshits coming across obvious references and treating it like it's some mind-blowing discovery? I've seeing this across all media, not just video games. Do people not like take basic literature studies in school or something?
>>583121201retard
>>583121264faggot
>>583121168When was the last final boss that was literally just you and an ace, zero? If its a setpiece final boss it better be good like SOLG or Megalith or don't even try.
>>583121201You do you, but that sick gameplay would be literally nothing without the whimsical stories and the music scores.
they should add the TR-3B as a superplane
>>583121384Being overly "whimsical" or whatever does not make a story good, simplicity or even some edginess does. I always loved the music though. Lets just agree to disagree, in the end we all are AC fans here.
>>583121304Project Wingman
SoSave contracts for when you're lucky enough to get a Scramble or Emergency Sortie, yeah?
>dumbfuck morgans spend the entire match chasing around a fishbed while the warthog farms 50k points of pvethey really are brainless
>>583121623Yeah, but i'd wait a couple of weeks (if the MP survives) to use those on Emergency Sorties, you'll lose most of them and you'll waste potential income.100% use them on scramble
How i'd fix ACO>COOP Assault:Missions based on the franchise. The battle of farbanti IS the battle of farbanti. Add other big battles like liberation of gracemaria, battle of sudentor ecc.>Add COOP BLITZ:Literally what COOP ASSAULT is now. ground->air->ground fast sorties>SCRAMBLE:Change the mishmashed planes with actual elite squadrons from the franchise. Hell, since they are going with "one BP season, one game" you could milk those for a lot of time. Now, in AC0 season, you would fight rot, indigo, in AC5 season ofnir and grabacr, on AC6 season Strigon>COOP ASSAULT:Add fucking points management for the players, so it's not always BIGGEST POINTS VS BIGGEST POINTS>Emergency sortie:MOREFUCKINGTIMEThis would give the game more mileage IMHO. What do you think
Not sure if slowpoke, but BIG IF TRUE.
>>583122132They need to go way further in, agreed.>Make missions longer>Reduce ammo counts>Introduce runways where you have to land to restock your shit (with anti-griefing measures like take-off invincibility for X seconds)>Force hard limitations on aircraft rating points so Morgans get the fuck out of low level craft lobbies>Make enemies spawn in greater numbers>Make enemy spawns less predictable>Spawn more Aces>Spawn more super weaponsetc.
>>583120151Sotoan high commanders trying to make a run for it. They deserve that missile, believe me.
>>583120993>>583121384You say that as if the best game in the series, 04, isn't almost entirely free of melodrama
>>583121475>Doesn't even match the framerate of the recordingFucking lame.
>>583122132Just give the matches CST limits for gods sake
>>583119752>>583121168It doesn't even have the emotional character beats like 5 does. It's just D.D. basedjacking over his leddit updoots
>>583122132>>583122367Idk if you guys notice, but currently the only mission we are getting are difficulty 1 with an ocassional difficulty 2Didnt Infinity go up to level 5?
Whose cock do I need to suck at PA to get a fucking FOV SLIDER
I'm having good framerates while in game on low settings, but load times are atrocious and the game hangs up for one second sometimes. anyone know a fix?using 26.3.1 drivers as recommended by the gameR7 5700XRX 760016GB RAMSSD
>>583122957>16GB RAMThere's your problem.
>>583118270I was a tiny bit disappointed that the reoccurring thing with the crazy underground soldiers/pilots went nowhere other than them showing up as reinforcements later. One of your guys even specifically mentioned the deeper hangar they couldn't get open after you take the island, where I guess their planes were just stored. I hoped it would be a thing where they come around on Wings late in the game, open the hangar for you and it has some secret pseudo super plane (which then turns is why they kept defending this random island for so long so bitterly), that you get to use for the final few missions. Especially when Tasha was done painting the five wings on the door and it suddenly opened, I thought something cool was coming, but instead it just was the guy schizo- and shittalking again and closing back up.
Found another easter egg.In Mission 16, if you sink the third ship before it launches the drones, you'll get an unique dialogue options in which the sailors curse you and in their last moments manage to launch the drones from the sinking ship
>>583120776>Better SWP selectiondebatable, LAAM will never hit anything past veteran difficulty.F35 is just better in every way at that point since the have the same shit with better stats.
>>583123050>debatable, LAAM will never hit anything past veteran difficulty.That thing can shoot down Shadows on Ace difficulty what are you talking about?
>>583122957The RAM is a huge bottleneck, but i'm running the same with these specs (>>583120374) and i don't have any of these problems.First thing, download ISLC and before playing close all the shit you don't need and flush out your RAM.Also do you have a mechanical HDD in your PC at all? Another thing that could be happening is that you have another slow hard disk with the paging files option activated on it and when the RAM is full your PC tries to write on it and it's slow as fuck
>>583122990so, like, I have two remaining slots and two extra ram sticks of 4GB RAM each, meaning I could increase it to 24GB, BUT, those sticks are 2400mhz, so they would decrease my RAM speed considerably, and make my system more unstable (I had crashes on Insurgency Sandstorm that would freeze the whole computer and they only stopped when I only left my two 8GB 3200mhz sticks in). Would that be better?
>>583123154if you shoot when you're sniffing their asses maybe, not at long range which is the entire point of taking laams in the first place, they have dogshit tracking, might as well take litteraly anything else at this point
>>583123278At long range, yeah
>>583123225No that wouldn't be good. You'd need to go into the BIOS and underclock your 3200mhz to 2400mhz, but i'd expect your PC to become BSOD simulator
>>583123379I know that, but would that make the game run better after doing it?
>>583122729Yeah, his big nogging in the tiktok interface with the fucking emote spam really undercut the whole>the world is watching>they all believe in the hand of hope!Real social media is cringe as fuck, that doesn't mean the strangereal one has to be.
>>583123050I used it on the Tomcat on my first playthrough on elite and it did fine, just give the missile some room to breathe. And the utility alone of being able to one shot fighters from 10k distance makes it great.
Is the level cap for planes 20, or does it go higher?
worst fucking radar mission in AC history
>>583121304Yes?4, 5, 6 are superweaponsX is about island fortress and either visible Ace Fenrirs or invisible but noob FenrirsXi is GandrWe will not talk about X27 is a pair of drones
>>583123585ANTARESSSSSSS
>>583123424No i don't think so. It'll probably worsen your pefromances and stability desuBut as i said, i run the game on 16gb and i even have 2133mhz ram
We're back to being in in yellow.
>>583123510it's the level cap for nowI would be scared if there was no limit again.I remember a creature of /aceg/ that made his morgan something out of this world on ACI. Autism without boundaries
>>583123698don't worry they'll delete all the negative reviews soon like the last batch
>>583123769Gabe can do that?
>>583123698Of course we are. There are THESE kind of animals leaving reviews (look at xher specs) And then there are the DCS and WT tourists larpers that saw the intro and said "muuh topgun"It's better on the longrun, we gatekept these animals that would enshitify everything in the (far) future
>>583121304Unironically prefer set pieces over just AI that cheats and 360 missiles no scope you at mach 3
>>583123998so it has begungamers are starting to realize they have been priced out of the market deliberately by the elites to restrict access to AInext few years is gonna be fun
>>583124081Hear me out, MAYBE, the best would be a set piece mission to vent off the steam after an ADHD mission with AI that cheats with 360 missiles and no scopes you at mach 3.Just like we have in most AC games
So, what parts are you guys liking to use? For me the roll and superior maneuverability parts are a must. Also, are top speed parts still straight up better than accel parts like in 7?
Do you think Gemma leader killed herself because of possible rape reprisals if captured?
>>583124275>out of a competent gaming PC but not out of options
>>583124275this isn't going to work because the elites want to push cloud gaming to speed up the "everything is rent" economy. The issue is, cloud gaming will never fucking work because even normalfags hate the delay of remote computing. It's useless for everything that isn't work.
>>583124392USEANs are known to rape civvies, imagine what they do to PoWs>picrel
>>583124478gamers would rather burn the whole world to the ground than use cloud gaming anontrust me get out of the cities while it's still relatively cheap to do so
>>583124275>to restrict access to AIIt's because of AI you retard.
>>583124553I'm in fucking brazil niggathey're about to raid us for shits and giggles soon
>>583124571Yes. cause and purpose are not mutually exclusive you smoothbrain NPC
>>583124614i loved that moviedont watch the cucked sequel though
>This retard is talking about Hortus Regis AltiThis is the future we have to endure
>>583124759its funny you say that because the SEQUEL is more chud than the first movie. The first movie is more woke but way more subtle about itbut yeah great movie, I got a blu ray for it when I bought Battlefield 4 for the PS3 back in the day - they had a promotion going on since one of the brazilian VAs was doing work on the game too
for what purpose?
>>583124859I preferred the original myself and consider it more rw coded than the sequel where they literally cucked and humiliated the based mc with a libshit bf fucking his wifei dont do media literacy
Sotoans should have just landed in Erusea, it's not like anyone could stop them and no one would come to help
>>583124652The entire reason AI is even being funded is to finalize the "you will own nothing and be happy". The RAM isn't going up because they want to restrict AI access, it's going up because they want AI to replace everything else. The end goal is that everyone just subscribes to cloud services that generate your media for you.
>>583125060yes that was my pointit is both cause & purposethe ultimate goal is to exterminate the goyim and replace them with robots & AI
>>583122132I know people were annoyed with 7's gimmicks but they'd make great coop mission material>Chasing down nukes in Magic Spear>Chasing down drones in Pipeline Destruction>Hide and seek in Lost Hope>Shooting down cruise missiles left and rightJust mix it the fuck up
>>583121304Do be serious, the SOLG fight was never good. Hold R1 for a few minutes to reach the corner of the map listening to some of the cheesiest dialogue ever written. Melt Ofnir and Grabacr in 30 seconds because their AI suck and then shoot parts off what is essentially a falling building.
>>583101954I know it has nothing to do with 8 and it's outta left field but I finished Skies of Deception and JA for psp. I really, really liked skies, probably one of my favorite games actually (haven't played 8). Lots of different missions , I liked you could take different paths based on what you do, I fought both versions of the final battle, I preferred the ones with the Ace Fenrirs, also I loved the Alext Squad theme. Joint assault on the other hand, eeeeeeeeeeeh. I had heard the stories but nothing could have prepared me for Online fps plauer squad and Muh Honor, Muh Pride , Muh LIIIIIIFEEEEEE. Also I don't know why, but the real world setting is always lame, even if this time unlike CoD plane edition we had random Romanian Railguns and Sky fortresses. Also, is Suleimanji immune to damage when he is having his villain speeches? Cause I lost the final mission twice because I ran outta missiles and ammo and I was absolutely sure I was hitting him. Either way, time to play 8, saw land battleships and now I can't wait for it
>>583124614>>583123225Sex
>>583123225>>583122957>>583123424so I'm trying out one extra stick of 8GB 2666mhz RAM I had lying around. I set the clock of all RAM in my PC to it too. So far the game is running fine and load times are *greatly* improved. I've also set up the paging file setup for the same SSD the game is on.though that does mean I probably won't figure out what was causing it, but whatever.

Can't believe that game about Yuktobania was 04 all along...
>>583127145Finland?
>>583125938if you think about it, birds would make great pilots thanks to their sightalso, talons
>>583127145wtf Mobius was Finnish
Is this game worth it for PvE co-op?
>>583127256Finland was never part of the SU.
>>583127460By itself? Probably not, too early to tellSingleplayer is still the star of the show
Ooooh
>can only play battlepass planes in campaign if you unlock them in the online modeim scared bros
>>583127527Finland was part of the Russian empire until 1917 and their proximity to the Soviet Union and the aftermath of the Continuation War meant they maintained their neutrality on paper for most of the Cold War
>>583127771oh nigga we're fucking in for it, Bandai is getting SUPER scummy recently and Ace Combat is about to face the brunt of it
>>583115138Multiplayer Phantom genuinely feels much better than singleplayer phantom, although just might be level 15 stats talking.
Guess the F15E is the best attacker we currently get.Gotta say i expected a better multilock super weapon.the AC6 one was pretty funny
>>583127256>>583127426Hm, possible. Another possibility is reference to Russian overseas territories like Alaska and couple of forts in California.
>perforn a PSM>cheevo locked
I want mods now
Loved the game, I don't think I can wait another 7 years againAlso that final mission was lame as fuck
Why do I get the feeling ace combat online has a heart attack when you alt tab and kicks you out
The parallel between the Wings of Theve and the Ghost of Kyiv is kind of spooky. I remember opening up the /aceg/ thread when Russia first invaded Ukraine and the reports of the Ghost of Kyiv were just getting started. A lot of people were making fan art and memes about the Ghost. It's almost like the developers were in those threads with us, saw those posts, and decided to make their next game based on those experiences
Zero>8>5>6>3>4For me anyway.
>>583129423>tfw retard7 between 6 and 3.
>>583129120Please Kono if you're listening we need a Sotoa-Yuktobania war game in the style of Zero, I'm begging you.

the game seems to be absolutely destroying my GPU despite not using up all VRAM, is there something I can do to improve this?
>>583127771i fucking warned you all about this, bamco is going to milk you guys drythank you for funding xenoverse 4 btw
>>5831294230 > 3 > 8 > 4 > 7 > 6 > X >> 5Might probably end up rerating 8, due to the recency bias. 5 is massively overrated, and Wardog without Chopper are about as charismatic as a bunch of rocks

>>583130463I locked it at 85fpsKeeps the gpu at 50% and >65,°CSet scaling to performace or ultra performance.
>>583130513Savian mercs are apparently from somewhere in Erusea but I don't imagine the country has much of a military after 7 and switching back to being a republic, I don't think their territory was even threatened and they're probably laughing at San Salvacion just letting the battleship roll over them
>>583130727Rex is just a pilot in a military. He has no sway over the operations they are going to do. The only way to do something like that would be going back to being mercs.
>>583130647I'm not too fond of the mission pacing and much of the missions feel like they're just throwing me into a small map to shoot down only 20 planes in 5 minutes before MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
>>583131076they seem to have infinite 3D printed Rafals tho
>press auto equip for team mates>everyone in the fucking morgan
>>583130463Don't bother trying to optimize based off of cutscene performance. Unreal Engine 5 automatically disables any form of DLSS/FSR upscaling during cutscenes, so you won't have any accurate read on performance during them.
>>583130070I'm not defending UE5 slop, but that nigger doesn't even met the minimum requirements AND doesn't even have the requested malware win11

>denuvo>kernel level anti cheat>no Linux support>unreal engine 5>requires an SSD, processors no older than the ps5, ray tracing enabled gpu, 120GB of space AND 32GB of ram.I for fucking sure this game would be reviewed bombed. If not by the piratefags, then the Linuxfags and if not by either then the UE5 slop unoptimized toaster/windows 10 users.But I'll be dammed. Not only is it sitting at very positive; new steam hardware survey just dropped from September and for the first time ever 32GB of ram is the dominant ram configuration. Linux dropped by 1% and a fucking current gen nivida gpu is the most popular.I don't want to say it. But I'm sure this game made people upgrade their shit.Against everything, the game is being well received on Steam.Baxter would be proud
>>583132650>agree with luna 11>kill her anywaysLive by the sword die by the sword innit

What did they mean by the tool tip?
where the PLSL go...
>>583132959people have just accepted that gaming sucks now
>>583132959>If not by the piratefagsWhy would the piratefags reviewbomb a game one has to buy in order to post a review?
>>583133174For the love of the game, like D.D
>>583132364Because instead of the premium edition of the game having a season pass or aircraft pass for the upcoming content.They just gave us 3 day early access and the premium Ace pass.The fucking premium pass only gives you 500 paid Ace coins so you can't even complete the pass fully and have it pay for itself/the next one.So they gave us that bullshit craft as a way to keep us playing online and to not bitch they're charging 20 extra dollars for an optional premium battlepass that expires in December.
yo buddyyo buddyyo buddy
>>583132959>ray tracing enabled gpuI disabled raytracing in engine.ini and I'm not having any issues whatsoever.
>>583133174Buy the game, review bomb it, download and get a refund then they go offline for up to 30 days, get to shit on the game while still having access to it.Piratefags are the angriest Fox at the base of the grape tree.Also pcfags are borderline retarded. If you read any of the reviews bitching about technical issues clearly their PC is all fucked up.
I’m out of town and haven’t been able to play, but does the FA-36 do much of anything better than the EA-36? The special weapon loadout seems like its way better on the EA for whatever reason
>>583133157Osea took it with them.
I was using the f14 you get from the pre-order and just bought the mig29 and holy fuck it feels so much snappier and agile
>>583133527would you recommend turning off raytracing? If I can get the game to look better while also improving performance I want to do that too
>>583133110my guess would berange = cone of lock ondistance = length of lock onwould also explain why it's called dogfighting spec; lets you lock onto people in a turn fight without having to have your nose directly on them
>>583133612FA-36 is faster and more agile, SOD ain't bad either.
Premium pass does or doesn't automatically add the f-14A?

Breaking 50k wouldn't be that bad. Although I thought it was going to break a hundred.
Is there a way to check what skins you have for planes you don't have yet or am I meant to just remember? Because my memory isn't good.Maybe I'll take screenshots every time I get a skin from the gacha.Also I can't see what it looks like on the plane yet but I suspect this skin will look like shit from that preview.
>>583133676Fulcrum is a lowkey busted choice. >HPAA>HCAA>LAGM>enough speed to comfortably beat M15 I regret not doing the RU line on first run.
>>583133708It's worth experimenting with. The game was outright meant for raytracing, but I prefer the performance consistency that I get from disabling it since I'm on an RX 6600.
>>583133110or maybe extends the lock on range of the missiles, while shortening the distance required to lock on at the same time? compounding effect? idk
The game (the plane) has parts that look straight from some aborted j-20 model>>583133770This is a pretty weak launch
shouldnt the su-34 be able to do a PSM
>>583134043ace combat is a niche franchise, it would never pull AAA numbers
>>583134064I shit you not, I think it can.
>>583133527That's fine. The point is that the game will check your GPU out as a requirement baseline.Been a while since a dev had a hard line in the sand about what's needed to run their game.And to be real it's just pc system specs baselined with Xbox Series and PS5.SSD, ray tracing capable gpu, and 32 gigs of ram was just so there's headroom for the game. 16GB on consoles when optimized goes a long way. Devs can't be sure you don't have chrome or discord open as well eating up resources.I'm glad they didn't comprise or release some PS4.5 type graphics/restrictions like smaller maps or less detail.Took 6 fucking years but we finally have next Gen games releasing.
how often did PA update Ace combat infinity? Will they upkeep AC8 online?
shit better be good
>>583134043>weak launchAre you retarded? It's the most bought and played Ace Combat game to date. It has 5x the numbers of release day of AC7, and this only on PC.We are talking about about 200-300k unique players daily.
>>583134264Ace Combat was never niche
>>583134319
>>583134264Dynasty warriors origins (a pretty similar franchise size wise) did double this, ac8 also looks like it had a lot of resources put in it>>583134413Sorry bro those numbers are weak, it's still climbing though so don't get too upset!
>>583134543It was always niche anon. People got exposed to it en masse when Maverick came out.
>>583134673go back to /v/ retard
Belka status?
>>583134043Compared to really big games yes; compared to AC7 its almost 4x
>>583134319Pretty regularly until they dropped it to make AC7.https://acecombat.wiki.gg/wiki/Ace_Combat_Infinity/Update_details

>>583134895>Belka statusChillin'.
>>583134895comfymaxxing
So do people just not notice how much grain and noise the game has when they say it looks good? I mean I guess if you are legally blind it looks better but I can never accept that blurry and noisy games are supposed to look better than the sharp and clean games we used to have.
>finish mission>get morgan upgrade blueprintI'm not buying your pass Bamco. It's not happening. Give up.
>>583135315Where have you been for the last 5 years?DLSS enshitified the whole industry
>>583130463Why do you think VRAM usage and GPU utilisation are related?
Guys Kono finally made ithttps://youtu.be/PGFD3oJBdT8
>>583134264True but bandai knows it's a franchise that gets most of its sales over years of discounts like 7 did.Honesty lots of reviews for just the first day of release.Hell Xbox has more reviews for the deluxe edition than the standard one.Its clearly gonna meet sales expectations and get ass loads of plane dlc till 2035.Fucking bandai gave the new digimon game a full ass paid expansion AND season pass.Hope we get the same, there's no new Too gun movie to shove shit from into the dlc packages.
>>583135315It's UE5 and upscales. People will never admit shit is getting fucked up after having spent thousand of dollars just to be able to run games at all.This is just the beginning.
>>583130463Post specs and performance graphs/overlays retard.Could be myriad of different reasons. Hell your SSD might be failing.
I think Everflow sucks and Song of Wings is the best track by far.

>>583123998Those are perfectly fine specs though? Only the RAM is bit low but still within the specs where the game should run.
>>583135813Flying hiiigh.....
So does Shadow 22 actually just cheat? Is it actually possible to shoot him down with missiles at all?
>>583135813My blue sky home is really good too
>>583135537Didn't that game have 84k players on launch? That's not small
>>583136027Is that why I didn't get a notification? I swear I got all of them, but Kate did say something at some pointFucking hell, I'm not sure I'm looking forward to replaying that any more than the fucking radar stealth oneI'm a little mad
>>583136098>should runYeah that's the catch. It will run, as in, you will be able to launch and "run" it. Kind of how you can run Cyberpunk on 1060.
>>583134064Yeah it can>Heavily armored>Even has an onboard toiletDoesn't matter, has leading edge control surfaces

>>583136353It should run, and run well enough to be playable, yeah. Literally none of the specs shown in that review are below the ones shown in the minimum specs. Now if that person is complaining that they can't run everything on high on their machine is one thing, but with the machine they have the game should be perfectly playable so long as the settings are on low.

>>583136994If you let an a-10 or something just do his thing and can't harass or shoot him down he'll just rack up 80k points depending on the mission it's fucking hilarious.
>>583136760>the digimon gameOkay, yeah, it did.>>583136821I mean it's ~50 fps on low with upscalers on. I was talking about running it at native res. And it is a first person action game, it'd probably dip even lower during action packed sequences, especially in Dogtown, though I'm not sure if 1060 is still within min recommended specs, since those got upped when 2.0 came out.

I've somehow managed to softlock two missions now, each time because I went too fast. Most recent was in Rocky Island 1, when the spear gets fired. I managed to kill the airship lazing allies before the event could happen and it just broke the mission. Now I'm curious how much I can break.
>>583138107I'm starting to think post-Lighthouse Erusea doesn't have a standing army anymore and all that funding went into its various mercenary corps.
>>583136530True. But normally if a gamer has 16 GB to RAM they also have 8GB at best of VRAM and likely it's a low end mobile/laptop gpu xx/60.Hell even the replies are people saying they're on Linux or windows 10.Any retard seeing the minimum spec be windows 11 posting that they're actively running something else in that thread should just go buy a console.We don't know what settings they have their game at, or what background shit is running taking up the 16GB they have like chrome or discord. Fuck they could be running the game off a fucking 3.5 5400rpm hard drive for all we know. They could also have outdated ass drivers/updates.If you're trying run the game on 1666MHZ 16GB of ram and 30608GB(mobile) and some cheap old 8 core processor. Then fucking DDU your shit, boot in safe mode and go from there. Eliminate all other things non essential running on your pc when you try and game.Low spec users are fine when they're actively aware of their low spec limits.Nowadays people don't seem to understand how a PC functions or what hardware contributes to what performance metric.You think those niggas know what page file is?
They came so far 90% of cutscenes in 7 were just someone narrating while montages of people standing around played
>>583138258I'm curious if Project Aces snuck in an easter egg line if you manage to fly backwards like you could in previous games
>>583138234Shouldn't be too hard for you to find then, hope this helps.
>>583138112As it turns out the foxbat is great at getting a good missile angle of attack but doesn't have the yaw and roll maneuverability for gunsI imagine if I redo that mission on the 57 or SU35 ill have a better time
>>583138264I was merely pointing out that shadow 22 doesn't have invincibility in that mission.So while he does use flares and whatnot.Get gud.
>>583138324>actually arguing for people to switch to W11Sorry nigga, lost all credibility there
>>583138394>that 15 second scene of the princess watching a propaganda video7 made some weird choices
>>583138324>Any retard seeing the minimum spec be windows 11 posting that they're actively running something else in that thread should just go buy a console.Retard
I hope the story DLC is about Neucom since the main one was about General R
>>583137989Drivers issue, I crashed all the time, installed old drivers and it worked.
>>58311989460-70fps with minimal drops during gameplay, cutscenes fucking tank to the low 40s.1080p native, everything on Medium except textures and models on High, 5800X3D, 6800XT, 32GB of DDR4-3600.
>saaaaaaar upgrade to win11 so you can pla-ACK
>>583138264I dunno I feel like their answer was forgiving enough>>583138319Dude I shot down more gripens than I shot down planes in half of AC7 in that one missionAlso>Constant radar lock from them and SAMsImagine my surprise when a certain handjob compatible pretentious cunt has 100% hit rate if you stay below a certain speed so I had to learn how to not spam High G turns for the first fucking time
>>583138394don't worry the woman who turned the pinnacle of technologically advanced infrastructure into a hippie communist refugee camp made sure that the sideshow voice over from her game came back
>>583138459>Hey, can you hit 22 with missiles?>Sure, here's him getting shot down with a railgunNeck yourself.
What's the deal with AMD the only hiccup I've had is the notification telling me to go back to an old driver. Ignored it and not having any problems after 8 hours.
>>583138708You're not right, but you're not wrongThis game being 140gigs is retarded as fuck>>583138394To be fair that game had a low budget no?It was so successful the jump in quality between basegame and the DLC was night and day
>>583136249I got his ass with missiles a lot quicker than expected. The rest of the squadron, those suckers took forever until I gave up and went all-guns.
>>583136249I killed him with either QAAMs or HCAA, but things were so hectic I can't tell you much more than that.
>>583138535How very odd someone bitching about crashing didnt post his OS but a gentleman soon after said he's having the same problem and he's on LINUX.Last I checked the MINIMUM requirement for the game was Windows 11 am I mistaken?Tired of PC gaming being overran but fucking retards who can't accept what they signed up for when they installed an OS 3% of steam users even use.
>intentionally dont use morgan after using it once and seeing how op it is>my team comp is usually morganless>enemy team comp has at LEAST twothis twisted game needs to be reset
>>583138493Seriously what was the implication there. Like she knew she was completely full of shit? She resented being used as a mouthpiece for a war government? Come on!
Not going to lie. I want 9 to double down on character writing, I want PA to make me become attached to them, hire some good niggas that can write, maybe even give me in-game choices that end up deepening my connections with them as we complete more and more sorties together and then I want to see them suffer the same faith that my enemies do in every single AC game. I want the radio go nuts, I wanna see their portraits go "OFFLINE", one by one.Kinda getting tired of this trope where none of the guys you get attached to die but it's usually the one(s) you care about the least. These are wars goddammit. Coster should've been placing flowers at Tasha's grave at the end of the game. Practically everyone should've been dead, save for a couple of supporting characters that YOU DON'T EVEN EXPECT TO BE ALIVE BY MISSION 27 or something.
>>583138324NIGGER 80% OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGEFILE IS AND 99% OF THOSE WHO KNOW NEVER TOUCH IT. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THERE'S NO FUCKING NEED TO OPTIMIZE IT.
>>583138779You can hit him with missiles retard. You are just bad at the game.The question was does he cheat. Having invincibility at the start of the fight to make it "epic" like they did in 7 is cheating.Jesus go take your medication and chill the fuck out.
slow sad rock actually really goes well with these missionsretaking theve II is my favourite mission because good amount of ground and air combat + good music
>>583136249i slammed him with qaamshold on i might still have the replay
>>583138779You asked a question and he gave an answer and gave a cheeky video, calm downAlso I can confirm I got one missile hit on him but that was after an awkward amount of slow flying, getting my wingmates to cover/flare for me, and firing a missile->wait>missile>wait>HVAA>HVAA>missilr.SAAM repeat comboBasically a 20 hit paced combo to land 1 missile and eat 3
Why does the AWACS plane somehow never get shot down
>>583138730>writers mary sue pet character that they're going to keep jerking off for the next 2 installments
So far my only only real gripe (aside from the way the online is handled) is the aircraft roster. It feels like AC7 but worse somehow. There wasn't anything I was really excited for. It was cool we got the SU-25 back but otherwise we should've had another like dozen planes at least. Where's the Block III Super Hornet? They could have brought the Tornado back. Where's my F-15EX for a multirole F-15? Just feels like a whole lot of missed opportunity.I know the answer is that all of them will be added later via fucking ACE PASS bullshit.
>>583139294AWACS live in another dimension
>>583139351ace pass bullshit and project aces having the issue where they're more than happy to swap around a roster but never just add onto it
>>583139127My point is if someone is running a game that is recommended to need 32GB of ram on a system that has 16GB. They should know how their fucking computer works in regards to RAM usage.Any googling about ram shortage/issues will lead back to the page file especially on windows.That's like running minimum GPU requirements and not knowing what hardware acceleration in steam does or that watching fucking YouTube in chrome uses said VRAM.People forgot how their fucking computers work.
>you know what would've made Ace Combat 4 better?>replace Emancipation with bad rock music with retarded vocalsAs we can clearly see, this is incredibly stupid, yet it's being praised in AC 8 because we don't know what could've been this game's Emancipation. Apply that line of thinking to all the other missions that have rock instead of actual good tracks.
>>583139127I haven't needed to fuck with my page file since the switch to SSD OS and win11But I will say it's 100% a problem I've only experienced with fucking EAC gamesThanks tim schaefer
>>583139294A "Holy fucking shit they're shooting long-range missiles at me for the love of god stop them" mission update would be pretty kino. As they approach the poor operator freaks out more and more.
>>583139610Point on the doll where the electric guitar touched you
>>583139294He doesn't fly in the mission zoneYou gotta respect that>>583139351The roster is worse but each plane has more performance differences nowThat's not the best thing since their upgrades make the gap ridiculously obvious and since later tier planes are faster and the maps are pretty fucking hugeAlso>All the budget went to the fucking muh characters and plot and marketingYou know fuck it just let Capcom acquire project aces, they're getting better at face models and clearly these folks weren't used to in game face mocap
>>583139351>Where's the Block III Super Hornet? They could have brought the Tornado back. Where's my F-15EX for a multirole F-15?Lucky for you a Sotoan gypsy I gave 3 dollars to wash my windshield just showed me the future as a answer to your question.looks like Enso isn't the only over zealous corporation tied to the game
>>583139608The problem is that the game should run on 16gb you absolute mongoloid. Minimum reqs are what is required to run the game on the absolute lowest settings not uhhhh ackhually it won't run lmao.
>>583139779It raped my ears till they were bleeding, and just as I was about to cum in missions 28 it did it again and my excitement vanished. It was good in Mission 03 and that's about it.
>>583139757The missiles are relatively all short ranged now so it would be pretty annoying and invalidate so many planesHonestly most of the game sub 2500 planes feel like shit since you have to keep building up energy for high G turns to bleed to do another missile pass on ground targets and flybys and traversing the map
>dripfeeding planes over the course of months>have to buy the premium battle pass to get it>cant buy it normally unless its out of rotation>cant use these planes for free in campaign since its campaign and no one will care if you didnt pay to use the pixy in your new game+ run on acereally are ace combat 3 timeline
>>583131257Wangblows 11 is only a requirement on paper, I ran the campaign on W10 with TPM turned off in the BIOS and didn't experience a single crash.
>>583139635>BNEA's>Bandai Namco Entertainment America'sIts moments like these where he's using the full legal name of the company's specific division; I forget PA spun off from bandai a few years back. They're still 51% owned by them tho.https://www.bnaces.co.jp/#about
>>5831401677 had a more consistent mission difficulty and I felt like I was being asked to haul ass and blow everything up every missionLiterally the only thing 8 has on 7 is lil beeDon't even @ me if you disagree
Anyone with laptop capable of running a stable 60 FPS? my 3060 can only go 30, sometimes lower when stuff go kaboom
Told myself I would fly MiG's and Flankers for the first run but the upgrade parts on the top & middle are too nice to ignore :c
https://youtu.be/PGFD3oJBdT8How many more Ace Combats does Kono have in him. Be honest.How many do (you)?
>>583139983God you're dense. I'm saying it should run on 16GB but as a pc owner it's your job to make sure that those 16GB are properly being utilized and are available to the game.You're the one with min spec hardware fucking manage your shit. You need to run a tight ship or you'll end up like this schizo >>583139636 who can't seem to understand there's some correlation to his problem. His fucking SSD might be dying, fuckin TPM setting is fucked up or his bios needs an updateWho fucking knows but clearly he doesn't care enough why should anyone else especially bandai.Low spec means keeping shit nice and tight so the game doesn't freak the fuck out when it inevitably runs low on resources. Close discord and YouTube, check task manager etc.USE YOUR FUCKING PC
>>583140535Ill fly as many as I canBut there's no way ill have the same fight in me as HOTAStards
>>583136249>>583139237here, i gunned 28 and then 22 zooms past me. i roll into him and fire a qaam that hits him and splashes himi killed two with the gun and two with qaams, one of which was 22 here, but the replay controls are ass and i can't get an angle of me hitting the other one with the missile kek
this one was fucking annoying
>>583140497As a hint the SU-33 is a fantastic carrier plane since it's fast and has rocket pods
>>583140792No you pretentious dumbass when I made my jump it was from a literal 20 year HDD to a brand spanking new SSD, and the only way I could make it "work" was by increasing the page file size

OFFICIAL BEST GIRL POWER RANKINGS3. TASHA2. LITTLE BEE1. FCU ENDURANCE
>>583140383This game had a few missions where it became do or die for some shit and immediately failed because I didn't know what the fuck Dealer wanted me to go do.The one with the alpha, Bravo, and Charlie landing ships or whatever was annoying.Or some mission critical dude gets blown on the far side of the airspace.They sometimes don't enable the TGT IFF on shit you need to take down before it ends your mission. Like mission related.
>>583101954So /aceg/ what's the verdict of ace combat 8?Absolute Cinema?
>>583141201>The one with the alpha, Bravo, and Charlie landing ships or whatever was annoying.Blow up the ground targets whenever the radar pings. It's that easy. Granted, you may want to bring something with UBGLs or the F-15E with SFFS because there's so many fucking ground targets. Anything with SODs might work too
>>583141189Bro? Jackpot 9?
>>583140864Honestly every mission with that fuck ass railgun fire was annoying. I couldn't dodge it for shit. I do hate when they give you long missions where the briefing is completely irrelevant in terms of what kind of weapon type to bring.Wish more missions had the resupply hell I don't think you land on the endurance once mid mission to resupply.
'bout to post some ultra fucking gay stupid rantI'm really tired of the mute protagonist thingin a lot of games, reallythese aren't RPGs. I know it's supposed to be a power fantasy self insert but that makes for very non-immersive storywriting - you have this absurdly special/powerful character that you're playing and they have no thoughts, voice or personality for you to care for. I understand Assault Horizon traumatized every game developer on never having a voiced protagonist on a vehicle combat game ever again, but it does suck a lot that you miss the possibility of a good main character that I could actually give a shit about. I'll always take a Dante, or Sam Porter Bridges, or an Amuro Ray over Trigger, Raven or Rex. It just... takes a lot out of the immersion when I don't have an actual character to connect to and care about. >"But it's supposed to be you!"And I wouldn't do all those things or act like that. Again, these games aren't RPGs. I don't understand why they try to make the player a non-character despite how *absurdly fucking important they are* to the conflict and story. It's like you have this whole plot or story that has a link to this point that is just a non-existent black hole with nothing on it.
>>583141189Kate is best girl and it's not even close
>>583139351The weirder thing is them giving up the easy opportunity to add carrier phantoms or the mig29k, won't really matter in a few months since the autistic modding community will be pumping shit out
>>583141325A good chunk of people seem to think it's up there with Zero.
>>583141201Yeah between>High density of targets>Fly from point A to point B and back>Literal bullshitThe game could use some polishThere's a certain mission with a tight tunnel run>Hey no shooting allowed>Constant fucking SAMs lighting me up for the entire duration of the story dialogue >Light me up and blast me on the way in>Essentially instant fail and I have to restart the entire mission and blow everything up this timeI mean I'm better for it but it didn't have to be a little fucking bitch about itAlso>Genuinely have a harder time seeing targets and basically spend 60% of most missions finger fucking the map zoom and navigating by radarWe need a 3D radar like the replays, and a fucking wider FOVCockpit mode is unnecessarily hard compared to 3rd person and 1st person
>>583141449Yeah I don't know why they didn't have that, a couple of AC6 missions had carrier resupply if you had a relevant aircraft.
>>583141095That's not normal. You should have done a fresh install or your ram is fucked up/Mos-seated Your PC is all fucked up. Your hubris in your ignorance is why you're having PC problems.You're the problem with modern PC gamers. Completely unaware of what shit actually means.
>>583141547QVEEN
>>583141325Not as CINEMA as Zero methinks but probably a close second. I'd say it's slightly above 5 but below 0 for me. It's probably one of the best SPs in terms of the presentation.
>>583141449>Dodging rail gunsCut your speed as much as you can and start doing a serpentine until it locks in/the aim solidifies/stops blinking. Then fly in the opposite directionIt's alot easier to do it running away so it's definitely intended to be dealt with by keeping at distance
>>583141325Genuine masterpiece, as good as the series has ever been.
>>583141575they probably don't want to smell the poo on the MiG-29Ksspeaking of Phantoms we've never gotten the upgraded F-4EJ Kais with anti ship missiles which is weird since every game always mentions their partnership with the JASDF
>>583141325Coster is the best character and they made him a mute. Tasha and Baxter are annoying.Kate sucks donkey dicks.Cope sucks donkey dicks in hell.D.D. is homogay red herring niggaMissions mostly range from good to great, last mission is turbo let down. They learned the wrong lesson from Torres, nobody liked that fight because it was a submarine but because he was oozing charisma with every single fucking line he spoke.
>>583141325its like if 7 had actual dev time and schedule. its good, what you'd hope for an ace combat game. It might not be the apex of cinema maximum like Zero but it's a good ace combat game and I'd definitely add it to the holy circle along 3, 4, 5 and Zero
>can't walk around the ship and talk to my matesWhat are you doing PA? Let me talk to these fucks and maybe even persuade Tasha to become a mass-murdering war criminal. WASTED POTENTIAL.
They chose to honor Assault Horizon's legacy and treat it as an Ace Combat game instead of a black sheep I respect it. https://youtu.be/QFmcRO4D6cM
>>583141503fag
>>583141805And when I say as much as you can I mean as much as you feel comfortable doing, you still need to outrun SAMs>>583141654No it's not normal l, but it was a PC parts set than ran windows 7 at one point so I figured I needed an upgrade anyways what do I careTim schafer is still a faggot and ace combat has never been buggier
>If only 7 had a proper budget and pipeline we would've played something like this in 2019Fuck.
>"Tasha doesn't need a reminder she shot down someone!"NIGGA YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY
>>583141930half the negative reviews are "BRO WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THERE CUTSCENES ITS TOO LONG" and you expect them to walk around a carrier and talk to people
>>583141646Yeah they should have bought back operations from 6 as well let us choose what to focus on. And more return air strips.Speaking of carrier, strange how they kept in the completely optional air refueling and landing mini games that can be entirely skipped. Exactly 1to1 as they were in 7. They also let your wingman run out of SP weapons but won't let you command them to resupply them if the mission has a resupply line for you to use.Wonder what made them do essentially 7.5 with a bit of 6 and zero sprinkled in.Probably whatever stopped them from implementing campaign online co-op. If we can do the dumb 4v4 assault shit online, there's no reason why co-op campaign isn't possible.
>>583141931don't forget https://youtu.be/hn9cag6Qrcs?si=3WFgvQ55OuXi98ahtwo very good tracks
>>583141828>Theres a literal mission where you blow up a plane, shoot at an invincible plane, then fly to the far end of the map to shoot 2 rocketsSome of these missions will be shit on replay,
Just finished it thenFuck everyone who thinks Mission 30 is bad, that shit was great even if it was obscenely cheesy, knocking out the ramming sub was a good way to end it tooThis might just be my favorite AC now, though I'm really looking forward to an expanded plane roster>>583140313Sweet, official lyrics>>5831411890. Jackpot 9
>>583142151People wouldn't like my Ace Combat game if I was to design it, that's for sure.
>>583142128she didnt even have her "oh my god i just killed someone" moment, they just completely pass over it she's fine afterwards. costner had more of a fucking breakdown over purple magic dying than she did killing someone for the first time
>>583141603>>583141910Fair.
Who else in the /Enjoyed M15 and M30/ club?
SET ME FREEEEEEEEE TO FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>583141646it's weird because if you approach the Endurance during the big fleet battle there's a line about how they can't rearm you under attack but you just cross the return line instead
>>583141898Torres mission was pretty cool though?Asks alot of the player's ability to fly and is a kino death star trench run>>583142128Baxter clutching pearls made me cringeHe doesn't poopoo wings for cooking the battleship crew, and shooting down the entire fucking sotoan airforce
>>583141325Pretty good, 8/10. Final mission and the ending altogether was a letdown though.
>>583141898>last mission is turbo let downPeople didn't play 6. It was essentially a homage to that games final mission.Stopping cruise missiles before they hit their target. 6 did it MUCH Better by having it in a city you're actively protecting/just reclaimed and not in the middle of the ocean.The submarine part was ass too it just bobbed up and down and wasn't a threat.They should have come up with a new mini super weapon or have you race the sub sonic sub back to theve or some shit.That would have been more dope than Sector Z star fox shit.
>>583142313Yeah, she's a bit down about it but she seemed to end up going "Welp, my cherry's popped, time to go all-in" and started murking motherfuckers. I think Baxter was babying her, though he was right that painting the kill mark without her permission would have been in poor taste.
>>583142151>people not using the cameras zoom and focus function to no creep on that cute yuktobanian girlDamn didn't steam players were gay.
I think land battleship theme is slept on, that bit at around 1 minute in where it starts ramping up is so fucking peak when circling it and dodging railguns<< I'm not gonna make it..... >><< But I can still push a button..... >><< Finish.....the mission..... >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGDBoA2d8KA&list=RDdGDBoA2d8KA&start_radio=1
WHERE THE FUCK ARE CFA-44 AND XFA-144?! WHERE ARE MY PLANEFUS???
AC NEEDS a game that explores both sides. Halo 2 and TLOU2 showed that it can be done well.
>>583142806For me it's staring at Kate while she's just mute eye candy
>>583142313That's because Tasha was fine flying combat missions, she just didn't want to personally kill someone unless she had to. Then she had to so it's like "well, fuck, guess i oughta"
Ending kinda feels so weird what was even the point of stopping enso?,feels like they should have been way more prominent in the story since it seemed like nobody even really objected to their plans?
>>583142128She's technically a civilian. So I can kinda see it. But yeah they wouldn't have let her fly if she was that much of a pussy.Hell the whole joker squad seemed like they just ran away at the first sign of trouble before you joined. No wonder the FCU fell so fast.
>>583142580The problem I'm seeing is how many missions this mission based game has completely devoted to the narrative and/or plotNot even counting the jalopey flight which asks the player to do some fucking flying, there's like 3-6 missions where youre asked to shoot down some gay invincible enemy that wastes the player's time or watch something happenWhat the fuck man? Turnip lady is literally invincible for no fucking reason than to waste the player's timePixy didn't even waste any time
Newcutie here, I've only played AC7 Campaign but I absolutely loved it. I am curious to hear others thoughts on AC8 Campaign cause I honestly can't see past the marketing which is centered around Online/MP. How well does the campaign hold up against AC7? From the trailers to the official steam page, It's difficult to hype myself up for it cause the game looks EXACTLY like AC7 so I'm horrified that it might just be a cheap permutation of AC7 assets for a quick cash grab.
For me it's staring at the ground becuase I don't like looking people in the eyes IRL
>>583142929>spoilerno fuck off
>>583143123Its what 7 should have been had it more resources put into it.
>>583143123>How well does the campaign hold up against AC7?It's a much better campaign. >>583141910If you liked 7 I can't see how you wouldn't like this unless your hardware is old
>>583143123It's much more coherent than 7's story, which was the result of about a billion rewrites.
You're all still in your honeymoon period so you aren't ready for this conversation, but 7 is significantly better storywise and also bosses wise.
I wonder how many cards Tasha is gonna send to Baxter.
Can you get the shadows skins in myltiplayer?
>>583143350aww hell nah nigga
>>583143123AC7 asks more of the player and gives the player more to doAC8 focuses on narrative and build up at the cost of gameplay but because it has more budget and time on the plot it has a shot at the VGAsThat's it, it's a ploy to become mainstream and get recognition for the only thing that gets recognition in the general populace:Not gameplay but>Muh feels>Muh plot>Muh melodramaNot to say AC doesn't have melodrama but 8 feels like it's trying too hard at the cost of something 7 wasn't missing
>>583143123It's better than 7's campaign. It's one of, if not, the longest campaign in the entire series at 30 missions, and out of those 30 missions only one makes me groan about replaying it. I clocked in at 17 hours just for the campaign which is really nuts for an Ace Combat campaign.
>>583143350Most of the dialogue in 7 is so stitched together it sounds like backstroke of the west
>>583143350We're all still in our honeymoon period so when its over we'll look back even less fondly on 7 than we did years ago.
What's the timing for hitting shadow 22 and co with MSL? i never got it down on my Expert run and blew through 170 shots with like 2 lucky hits, so i ended up simply gunning them because it was way easier.
Man, the golden goy tickets for plane leveling are gay as fuck. I'm one ticket short and you can't just buy them, plus there's a cap of 5 per day on the Emergency Raids
>>583142580The whole point was that the Endurance was home, not TheveI almost said No to going back because I wanted a bigger bed
>>583143350>7 is significantly better storywise7's story grinds to a halt immediately after Trigger joins the LRSSG and there's so much fucking nothing going on until Farbanti that they managed to fit in a deranged psycho submariner who can't get over a shot he made with a 5" destroyer gun 20 years ago
>>583139349Have you seen how they treat Nagase? 2 installments is lowballing it
>>583143445>>583143509>>5831435267 is less cohesive, but that's why you have a shitton of variety and much bigger spectacles. 8 doesn't even have the LONG TUNNEL RUN. THE FIRST ACE COMBAT SINCE 2 TO NOT HAVE A LONG TUNNEL RUN. Compare the first 10 missions of 8 to 7, there's world's of difference
>>583143350>Literally invincible Mihaly>Insta kill MimicI'll grant you Torres but come on
So how does this medal work?Do i need to go into the clouds from which the BVRAAM missles are coming and find a B-2 into it?
>>583143350>got filtered by Ladon
>>583143327The variety and general notability of the music is better in 7 too
>>583143760>8492ndI have to hand it to him, nobody would believe the others
>>583143760>987,654>not even 987,654,321
>>583143818Yes
>>583143762Nagase is more likable though.
>>583143546Can't you just buy the one for the specific plane you're upgrading from the store?
We're still in the honeymoon period but contrarianism and bitterness will only get worse as we all get older while somehow still being here to post
>>583143737Yeah but as a part of the LRSSG you fight a great balance of high volume air and ground engagements
>>583143818Yes, there's an ace that spawned after you shot down a B-2
We should sing an ac8 song
>Our two pronged offensive was a successheheh
>>583143350
>>583143760Nice edit, D.D.
>>583143943She has less emotion than fucking jackpot 9 in ace combat 5, she just copies Production IG motoko
>>583143051Yeah I feel that. Two arsenal birds were dumb in 7 but THREE land battleships, TWO big transport propeller missions.On top of that going back to the ISEV and ending another big shoot out on a circular floating island.And we went back to theve like 3 times.The game reused alot of shit and hopefully in the next game or the DLC at least the world feels much bigger and varied.
>>583143958Not me. I'm quitting and not coming back until the next dlc/game is announced.
>>583143958>contrarianism and bitternessIf you don't grow out of this it's because you're a faggot.

>>583144115She's perfect.
>>583143950Yes, but you also need General tickets for higher leveled planes, or leveling lower tier planes to 15 and 20.Basically you need General Golden ticket - 10 to 30 depending on level (5 per day raid limit, or battlepass, but that's gonna run out eventually)Plane Specific Silver Ticket 10 to 90 depending on plane and leveling tier

>>583144010I'd kill for a moon 22 where the assigned moon guy just does a hurr durr because somehow I'm supposed to be impressed that a character is hot shit because she has a railgun and an Uber plane and that's why she's hot shit lmaoLiterally not a single strategy of moon-11's that doesn't involve>Hilariously fucking overwhelming numbers and shooting down preoccupied peopleAt least mihaiy had the audacity to fly in-between skyscrapers and let himself get tailed
>>583144010>AC8kinda mid music compared to previous titles. If anything I'd suggest one of the choiral tracks... But let's be honest, we don't have enough women or male sopranos here to even attempt Rex Tremendae or Agnus Dei even if I could remake the entire song's electronic and orchestral elements, and at that point it would just be an /aceg/ choir>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZBoiW460nU>>583144148He's right though.
My game only seems to crash on mission 25 for some reason
>>583143350Eh, I'd doubt that. At least you can cheese the Shadow 22 with EML, unlike Mihaly who has infinite HP until dialogue plays out. However there's way more filler missions, and no mandatory tunnel run(mission 14 doesn't count because it's a dogshit mission in a streak of gimmick missions, and megafloat barely counts as tunnel run). At best people will remember that 8 was just as bad as 7.
Objective ranking after finishing 83>5>7>6>4=0>8>JA>AH
>>583143993>>583143918Thanks
>>583143350>7 is significantly better storywise and also bosses wise7 had set peices feel lived in. The FCU and theve felt abandoned. The night time IFF identification mission in 7 was Kino.In 8 everyone seems so far away. I get isolation is part of the theme but like not a single Osean or Yuktobanian fighter came to help? Hell not even a broadcast over the radio cheering us on.
>>583144229Dang, I haven't gotten that far yet. That's a crazy grind.
>>583142909The Nosferatu would be absolutely hilarious on mission 28.

>>583143123It's bigger and better in just about every way. Longer missions, more coherent storytelling, cooler setpieces, the works.
>>583144010We could just do the Shadows chantSeems like that'd be kind of hard to fuck up>>583144446It's funnier hearing Full Band playing one of the Separatists
>>5831443637 with the dlc is the still the most fun and biggest variety ace combat to date, only 3 has bigger variety due to obvious reasons. The first half of 8 feels like one mission, the pacing is so bad. It's more like a topgun story, which i guess they were going for so American's like it. Thanks for ruining another thing israels lapdogs i guess.
>>583144384I do not understand why people rate 5 so highit's the game that started the series trend of wordswordswords missions where you have to wait for the plot to advance while the same two enemies constantly respawn because you killed everything too fast
>>583144338>He's right though.Not really. If you're still being a bitter contrarian faggot on the internet after a certain point it's just because you're a faggot. You get to have your bitter contrarian era in your early-mid 20s and then you need to get over yourself because nobody likes a bitter contrarian faggot. It's fine to enjoy things, and you can even do that will still being objective.

>>583143943It’s the same shit; only difference at this point you want your flowery speeches about peace and space exploration delivered while the entire supporting cast jerks a returning character off in European or Asian flavor

>>583145410>implying Project Aces is wokethis is a studio that loves the "black man dies first" trope
>>583145535>I don't think ac7 looks as good as 8It doesn't, but 7 gets the benefit of there not being a hazy shit smear over everything and constant ghosting because DLSS/FSR are basically mandatory for most players due to required specs.
>>583144935Idk but it's annoying, like nier did with it's cutscenes.You can tell this game was made and optimized for console.Hopefully there will be mods for that later
>>583145647I claimed her first, I just didn't take a screenshot of her face when I meant to
>>583145268AC7 looks nice but you have no fucking idea how much of a leap 8 is over it.
For all the critiques of 7 being rushed and having gone through multiple rewrites, and PA going all-in on cutscenes etc, the characters in 8 could still use more work. Count and Huixian somehow have better chemistry than Coster and Tasha, and Baxter's dedication to his role as a wingman seems more borne out of duty than genuine respect. Count in contrast comes to genuinely grow into his role as your wingman. He might never be THE ace pilot, but by golly, he's going to try be the best Wingman he can for Trigger.Even Trigger is more memorable as a protagonist given the descriptive characterisation they've given him (burns out his engines, is an aggressive hothead, him being ballsy enough to co-opt a symbol of shame into a genuine trademark) while Rex just goes along with whatever title they want him to take on next.>hey man, you're the new Rex now. Ok.>hey Rex, you're Ray now.Ok.>Hey Ray. You're Wings now.Ok.>Hey Wings, WE'RE Wings now.Ok.Meanwhile Trigger just picks a fight with everyone and becomes genuinely feared.
>>583145647>Says she has to put the work in because you're "playing hard to get">Asks to be on your team if she does goodShe's so perfect
>>583145647That's the news lady's daughter yeah? >B.Yeah that's Betty.
>>583145680They also gave us a sweaty tan tomboy mechanic gf, which is based
>>583145268Was your shitpost elegant? The answer is: yes

>>583145225There's three
>>583145694Yeah I'd rather play a solid inoffensive game that runs fucking well, than ue5 genuine fucking slop
Its 2026 and im hearing Ace Combat 7 historical revisionism.
>>583145919Yeah, they mention she flies a Harrier and she brings that up at one point
>mission 15fucking kill me bros
Belka will be back
>>583145927>>583145927>Car is painted a DEEP DARK BLUE X Tee StrikesReminder that Trigger CANONICALLY hangs out with his cute mechanic tomboy GF and fix planes, and fly shit together.
>>583146137My point still stands none of them have anything that stands out from the only variant that matters in ace combatYou know it, I know it
>Launch a tutorial mission for the achievement>It's standard flight controlsPeople... Fly like this?"People"?But hey it turns out you get free MRP for doing tutorials, just a 1000 but still
>>583145847>while Rex just goes along with whatever title they want him to take on nextYeah I didn't really care for this either, you're like copes replacement the entire game and rex never really becomes his own thing. I guess that's kind of the point, but eh
Just give me my YF-23 so I can stop playing the MiG-31

>>583146458I want a COFFIN YF-23 like how they made the XB-70 into a superplane here
>game crashes during the tutorial missionoff to a great start
>>583146557should try the usual fixes first
>>583146538>skipI wouldn't blame you.
>>583144419If it wasn't for the goy tickets I could've gotten this to 20 now. Though I'm gonna grind out and save up for the EA-36 instead
>>583146605which are? I've just downloaded the game so I'm clueless
>>583145847There's a decent amount of chatter that boils down to "Rex does his own thing, he's a crazy pilot" and I have to hand it to them, it paid off when I went after Moon 11 the first time, got some hits, and then Baxter fucking died protecting my ass from a shot meant for meI think it's fine but having dialogue choices tends to cause developers to make characters less concrete, even when it should do the opposite if they put the work in
>>583146554That would be lame as fuck. Coffin era is gay, even as a fan of 3. Only COFFIN planes I like are the FALKEN and Fenrir
ALTITUDEALTITUDE
Don't think motion sickness is the right word, never really experienced it before. But I feel way better using the wider FOV Type B camera. Keeping track of your movement is simpler and aiming is especially better if you switch the gun reticle as well. Might just be me though.
>>583146557wait until you're several cutscenes after a mission ends but you didn't hit the "next mission" screen yet so when it freezes you have to do the last one all over again
I think I've finally figured out why I don't like 8 as much as 7. 7 was sucking off the same general story beats of 04, which is my favourite, while 8 is sucking off the story beats and gimmicks of 5. Bandai are hacks.
Defaulted to metric measurements fuck you
>>583146554They didn't paint it and called it a day
>>583146926At least you've got 9 being Zero-2 to look forward to
>>583146681go on discussions, theres launch parameters you can use, that stopped the crashes for me. you can also increase virtual memory of the drive its stored in too if that doesnt work
>>583146996Oh my God, stop fucking saying this shit.
>>583146996We're going to the not Electrosphere at this point.
<<CheddarWizard17, requesting permissions to join squadron>>
>>583146996That might actually be good if it's true. Maybe it'll be a weird transitional title leading to a remaster/reimagining of 3. God I fucking hated 5 and I really don't like 8 even if it it's a slight improvement over.
>>583146954The only thing the Russians ever did right aeronautically was going for metric in their flight measurements.
>>583146335I like the ladies in AC8 but Avril was made specifically to my tastes
I liked it
>>583145735I don't know jack shit about coding but I'm assuming the 'cutscenes' are running the game in probably high or max settings before it reverts to the one you're assigned it to.
>>583146753Yep. COFFIN only ever seemed to exist so Namco didn't need to go back to opaque canopy glass textures like AC1 and 2 despite another graphical leap. The PS1 was at its limit by AC3 anyway.Also, there's no way we get COFFIN fighters that aren't fictional designs ever again. The licencing agreements would never allow it.
>>583147218As much as I like Avril I would kill every last Sotoan down to the unborn for Kate.
I like HAWX
>>583147361Funny enough I was going to say basically the same thing in my post but figured it would be redundant. But yeah, probably fat chance. We're probably more likely to get a similar but entirely different Electrosphere alternate continuity
HAWX rhymes with CAWX
>>583147218The hangar girl in Online is like if Avril and Rosa had a babyAnd the baby was just Ashley from Resident Evil 4
>>583147030do you have a thread link?so far I've found a guy saying to rollback Nvidia drivers so I'm trying that
>>583147556Coincidentally, it's existence lead to the worst "Ace Combat" titles to ever be made.
>nigga did I just caught you having funwow and you can't even rejoin or anything
>>583147361Can't they just do the Project Wingman route and call an F-16 and F/C-16 instead
>>583147361can't they just give us COFFIN versions of the Russian jets since those were never licensed to begin with?
>>583147728then they can't autistically scan every inch of planes anymore
>>583147572I didn't need to roll mine back, but heres the launch parameters.-DisableAsyncCompute -dpcvars="r.D3D12.AllowAsyncCompute=0"If it still doesn't work up the virtual memory.
the deaths occurred too late in ac8, they should have done them around like mission 14

I'm very curious, what route do most of you go through for your first playthrough? The F or SU tree?
>>583148597who is our enemy? /wtg/?
>>583148735I always do the Western stuff first.
>>583148735I went for the Su-33 then went up through the Rafale and F-35, then went back to get the Growler and afterwards finished the Sukhoi line

I don't know how you fucks can call AC7's narrative rushed when this shit happens in AC8.7 even only has 2/3 of the number of missions, for fuck's sake.
>>583149267Funny Yuktobanian side characters tend to come in clutchIf he said his name was Oka Nieba I would've believed it
>>583149520>reveal the REAL MASTERMINDIt took you 28 missions to figure out Enso might be the bad guys?
Wait so is our protag a schizo?
>>583149501Little bee <<Exists>>
>>583149664How was i supposed to know?
>>583148071Did that and the driver rollback and it let me get past the prologue, hopefully I don't crash again
>>583149843Well the whole thing with Rosa spelling it out earlier for a start
>>583149664No, but no one has any real dirt on Enso, at least not until>hey remember that random literalwho you met while you were on a totally random and unsanctioned sidequest by the Lighthouse??>turns out she can tap into ANY network (lmao she just can somehow, just roll with it) and gave us a piece of juicy news
>>583149898I crashed a few times on the prologue, eventually got it going. If you're still crashing it'll probably mainly be in the cutscenes from what I recall. Something about the cutscenes still using max graphics settings despite what options you picked or something.

>>583150552>we might need them later>doesnt use them later at any point
>>583150496CO basically said the jig was up and all they were doing was shamelessly tying up lose endsIt doesn't matterMoon 22 could have achieved her mission if she didn't make herself a target for literally no reason
>>583150631>it's never directly said but i thought the implication was that radiation would be a lot harder to work through than wet floorsShe was trying to prevent the facility's destruction so enso would have at least one paper trail to followShe could have just lazed the ocean on the spot for all the missiles and instead she chose that one and only that one for dramatic effect
>>583147993Pretty sure they are licensed, the Ruskies just don't give as much of a fuck about PR and don't require a little "one of the world's leading combat aircraft" blurb every time you start the game
>>583151039>you put our plane in as cool bad guy very good horosho horosho
>>583150552>high command has decided not to do anything lol, don't wanna burn any bridgesConsidering they have a "monopoly" on food and probably planes, it would probably suck to lose them as a supplierCapitalism and the military-industrial complex, baby
>>583150990Yeah but they would've had a much harder time getting through the radioactive wasteland to get their stuff without raising the eyebrows of the authoritiesAnd trying to explode it afterward would kick up radioactive material even further which would piss those people off even more
>>583150990you haven't accounted for an enso intern walking into the special zone and then just deleting all the files
>>583145080would a nosferatu pummel shadow 22 easily
>>583136249you can absolutely hit 22 with missiles. the only difference between him and every other boss fight in the series is that there is never a point where he's not maneuvering and/or flaring. He's basically got protagonist powers. The only cheat is that he has infinite flares.
>>583152995Yes, the nosferatu is probably the most broken boss plane in any AC game to date
