ac4 is bad
ac5 is bad
ac0 is good
ac0 is bad
All Ace Combats have good pointsEven Assault Horizon has a bitchin soundtrack
this might sound retarded but which aircraft Rex canonically uses? The C version or the Super Hornet one?
>Shoot down named ace>"Body was found ravaged by wild animals"
Was shoving Ace Combat into the UGSF timeline a bad idea in the long run?
It's so stupid that the faceless, silent cipher player character is forced to be a cis white man. they went through the trouble of a barebones character creator but didn't want them in the story.
>>583252472It'll be discarded as soon as it's inconvenientIt's a perfect example of why anyone adhering to canon no matter what is an idiotDig Dug will have to be dug a grave
>>583252073ass horizon is literally not an ace combat game
F2-A is good
>>583252073Advance?
>Load match>Fort Greys>Fighter's Honour is playing>Noice.png>Immediately kicked back to base because someone leftFucks sake just let us go man
>>583253079Well, it's obvious that the corpos lose power at some point, judging by the timeline. Not to mention that the further we go into it, the less real planes we will have to use...
man how do you even do a 0 hit run through this game for the medalthe landship railguns hit you for 1% damage regardless unless you are flying super sonic am i supposed to use LASM and just hide behind the fucking rocks or something
>>583253134Having played 8 I'm pretty sure PA disagreesIt's awful and a black mark on the franchise sure but you can salvage parts from it at least>>583253192I'm sure some kid had a gameboy and no other ace combats to play so he got something out of it
>>583253334there's a part that blocks damage under a certain threshold or something like that
>>583253334Dump LACM on them before they can do anything else
I wish they'd talk themselves out of trying to be AAA tier cinematic slop and just went back to being pure action arcade with no fluff
>>583251575I'm a disgrace to pilots everywhere
Dealer may be my favorite AWACS in this series
>>583253714It's always the aces you least suspect
>>583252135C and then changes to the E Hornet at some point
I'm think I'm starting to see the new meta plane rise up.
>>583254001no matter how much you try to run from it, it all comes back to BVR
>>583254001ESMs/ECMs are broken as fuck already and it's pretty known at this point.It's just a matter of grind, or not giving a shit about PVP since Assault it better for emergency farm
>>583253257>load into lobby thats already missing a player>instead of matchmaking a new player into the lobby or just cancelling altogether they make everyone wait the full 60 seconds before kicking everyone outplease god japanese game devs cannot be this bad at making online games
>>583254069Dont I know it...Had one asshole just sniping people with LAAMs all match and got like 60k points.
are they going to fix the multiplayer or is it just going to be RNG superhell forever?
beat the campaign a moment agothe music likes having me emotional and in perpetual tears of awe, especially the final few missions
>>583254232weaker than daredevil imo but the OST was ok
>>583253491landship 3 keeps firing railguns until the end of the fucking mission
Baxter is gonna be ok, right? He's just waiting back at one of the island bases for the squad to come back and have some drinks, r-right?
>bro>bro>what if we made cold war... but worse because its a defence mission so you can't actually enjoy the dogfighting!>also let's add in a boss fight where you can't use missiles! in our game based around shooting missiles! i'm so smart
>>583254139Always going to be this way. Everyone else loves to furball but it slows everyone down for easy long range snipping.
>>583254474I mean, Cope doesn't say anything when he gets to heaven, so maybeThat or Baxter is in Ace Hell lmoa
>finish setup for mission>tab out during loading>game crashes
>>583254474Don't worry, it was just strawberry jam he hid in his flight suit that he had stolen from the mess hall.
Japs, what the fuck?AlsoOnline always fails to load the first mission for me ( 0% then timeout ), then subsequent lobbies work fine. Also, sometimes everyone is ready in the lobby and loading never starts for me, and i timeout from the timelimit. Anyone else with those weird issues?
for all the prerelease mental gymnastics trying make tasha out to be yuke military the actual game wastes no time at all confirming that she's civilian and likely underage.
>>583254001Boy I can't wait for them to add the YF-23 and FB-22 so we can have HVAA/LAAMboats that also don't show up on your radar until they fire
>>583254229I assume this has better odds of getting rebalances thanks to the wider/bigger audience compared to Infinity, but who knowsI think it's a decent sign that they've posted about Zero and the crashes, they're not 100% deaf like they could've been>>583254232Glad you liked it
>>583254339Honestly at this point I think Daredevil is overrated. Within context its use is impeccable, but I much prefer the structure of Hortus and the Song Of Wings trio.
>>583254643Yeah it's a hog.
>>583254643PARTY
>>583254643How about you close some tabs so you can actually use your 32 gigs? Game runs great if you give it enough memory.
Can anyone confirm the submarine was speaking German in M30? This is important
>>583254809The game runs great, but takes ages to load
>>583254827>a Belkan conspiracy>conspiracyIT'S ALWAYS BELKA
>>583253305They do spend at least 1000 years being retarded in space first.
>>583254725nah, it might have been in a shit game but that track was probably the mest in the series imo
>>583254843Are you running it off a 2.5'' SATA SSD instead of a modern NVME one? Loading takes basically no time for me.
>>583254725I prefer Hush as a standalone track to Daredevil. Daredevil is all buildup (with an admittedly great payoff), but the altered time signature of Hush, the back-and-forth between sounding triumphant and desperate, the harsh electronic noises fighting against the orchestra, and Sol squadron's choir now singing Trigger's leitmotif are so much more interesting.
Send a request for 404th squadron>PC>nintendo64XJust here to blow shit up y'all, f15 unrelated
>>583252472I dont even think Namco pays attention to that at this point also isn't ace combat the only franchise that was in that shit to not be dead anyways?
>>583255196They added that one Metroidvania with Pacman in it to the timeline, so, yes, they are committed to it.
Very ass multiplayer desu.
>>583254953I mean the new superplane is just stolen Belkan technology now that Grunder is defunct after starting three separate wars
Sent request to squadron>PC>MagicTrigger
We're going to need a second division of the 404th at this point
>>583255406404th Squadron 2nd Tactical Fighter Wing "Nuggets"
I guess they got Mick Gordon to mix the OST because it's still not out.
>Some cunt brings an EA-36 to a low-point warfare lobbyWe are reaching levels of no-life faggotry previously thought impossible
>>583254643Unused RAM is wasted RAM. If it can cache more to save loading, why shouldn't it?
>>583256020>AC7 the game Jan/Feb 2019>AC7 OST Dec 2019I dearly hope this isn't a trend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wqldwLegPoThis does kind of remind me of AssCreed 2's leitmotif.
>>583256619And then 2:30 has a little bit of James Bond in it.
WHY THE FUCK CAN I ONLY USE THE F-18???
>yfw Kate is alive
>>583256931carrier mission?
>>583256132The support one with EMS? Yeah I just had that. Warfare is already beyond salvageable.
>>583256931First campaign run? Some missions launch you from the carrier, so you can only use carrier planes.
Sent a 404sq join request>Scarface-tfs
>>583256974I kinda figured, it was out of nowherePretty much exists to make you lower your guard for when Professor actually dies
>>583257029>Include point values>Don't use them in any meaningful wayThe fuck were they thinking
>>583257031most campaigns broke the carrier rule and let you launch any plane in the forced carrier missions
>>583257310Scrap Queen was too powerful
Maybe my memory is failing me, and I only played the early days of it and not the revival, but I don't remember Infinity's online getting this stale this quickly even with the Berkut spam.
Just cleared mission 7 of AC8, it then hit me, I guess I am far too familiar with AC series in general considering I think I am refusing to use SU-25 or A-10 due to sheer paranoia of sudden mission updates...
>>583256931>didn't buy the F-35 on mission 26 award
>>583257249I think it's just a rewriteTasha was bawling her ass out when Kate died saying now there's only 3 of them. All the time I was thinking "You mean 4.....Baxter's literally headed back to base right now"
>>583257694I don't think 8 has anything as egregious as Mihaly suddenly showing up during First Contact.
>>583257737Really glad I had Rafales
>>583257737Huh, somebody made it all the way to 26 without buying any other carrier planes?
>>583257867imo the most egregious thing in the campaign is underselling the dual bomber boss fight. I know it's supposed to be a surprise but not having one of the faster Fighters and/or a multi-lock mission makes it hellish
>>583257981I did>MiG-21 -> MiG-31 -> SU-47 -> Typhoon -> F-35
>>583257867Ooooh ooooh ooooh oooohoooh oooh HEY[Mission Update]
>>583257510You mean you don't enjoy infinite Morgan / Mig-31 / F-14D spam? You don't enjoy LAAMs and SAAMs being the only viable A2A special?
>tfw we will never get 6th gen jets
>>583258262As a non online player...no QAAMs?
>>583258394Most targets get sniped before you get into QAAM range
>>583258394QAAMs can't do shit at 10km out
Where is xfa-27?
>>583257510Because infinity actually had rotating points turned on from the start, while they clearly have it set up to go here but haven't turned it on. Maybe Monday, ideally alongside a real event and not "plz log in and play co-op warfare"
>>583258383>tfw we'll get 6gen fighters before Japan lets PA use their Mitsubishi jet license in a fucking Japanese game
Can somebody vibecode a remake of ACZ for bros real quick?
HATE Timegate blueprints.
>>583255406>>583255856Maybe 8492nd?
>>583258617Two more battlepasses
>>583257694I am familiar enough with the AC series in general to know that attackers are never worth it, even if the mission is 100% ground targets. A fighter with UGBs is just as good at killing ground targets while being faster and ground attack missions involve a lot of flying between separated target groups.
>>583258667I really do want to like this game's online because I still think the gameplay loop is fun I'm just fucking bored of seeing the same shit over and over again knowing a match is going to be a blowout
>>583258863Is there no way to buy the General Purpose Blueprints? Just gotta grind?
>>583258873I was saving that for my own friend group but that's a solid group name choiceHas anyone who's made a squad run into a "this name has been taken" notification? Is that a thing?
>>583258262my SAAMs never hit players so I don't get why people keep mentioning them. The LAAMs however wreck everything
>>583258971>its proven in online>attackers are just worse multiroles that exist to farm kills for enemy aces
>>583259056Gotta grind, limited to 5 a day from Emergency sortie.They also drop from the Ace Pass, and in far bigger numbers on the premium pass (Kinda P2W if you ask me) It's wank
hope they fix the memory leakshouldn't be sucking up 24gb of ram at 1440p with everything on low
How come this multiplayer doesn't feature tier locked lobbies? Like have your plane roster split into different tiers (aka gens). And just have them be like that. 4th gen lobbies, 3th gens, 5th+experimental etc.
>>583259024All we need is some sort of event goal to work towards and rotating points and it'll be like 80% fixed.
Man, Arsenal Bird really is the nugget friendly Emergency Sortie. Just asks then to stay on its ass, kill things in front of them, and maybe maneuver to avoid APS or pitch down slightly to hit the hooks or rectenna.
Why does my screen sometimes flicker black at ultra settings? Never happened at high
>>583251575
Yeah I think it's time to finally upgrade my PC. Several years was a good run.
Pretty solid takeoff. Let's see if it breaks 1 mil before it goes on sale.
>Regular coop>Every game has the most tryhard of autists>Morgans, Games, SU-35s delete everything in seconds>Emergency sortie>Team is 90% starter planes using the wrong equipment>Rank B with half the team getting sub 10k score
>>583259452This entire general is back on ac7 by november, mark my words.
>>583259516Some of those people probably just got their first emergency sortie early.
come to think of it, i think all the best missions in 7 are ground attack missions
Absolute Cinema. Won't be able to join you guys in MP until Bamco decides to grace us linuxcels with their attention, hope you're all having fun.
>>583259516We still had 4 minutes left on this one.I hope they'll release harder raids and 2v2 + 4 Man sorties. If everyone knows what they're doing shit dies just way too fast.
>>583259391It's the only one I've finished with so far. Got really close on Chandelier, but too little too late at the last second.
>>583259493from bankruptcy to fucking 20M BABY!!!!!!!!!
>>583259629And the ground attack missions in 8 suck compared to 7. In 7 you had homeward, the dlc missions
>when you fall in love with the discord prostitute
>>583259493>>583259775>20% chinese playersj-20 soon?
>>583259245A memory leak would lead to constantly increasing memory usage. I don't think AC8 has a memory leak, its memory usage is pretty stable.Also 24 gigs isn't that much? Games actually utilising your hardware is a good thing.
>>583259493the most sales happen in the first 5 days, so no. We'll peak at 450 at most
>>583258863Deserved, no-life fag.
Does anyone know what the Japanese are saying about Online? I assume PA would listen to their complaints/suggestions first
What does "ICING" "ICING" even do other than covering the outer side of your cockpit in ice and sort of partly obscuring your pov? I know you apparently have a lock-on penalty while flying through thick clouds. Anything else?
>>583260168I only see japs complaining about the F-4 so it probably will get nerfed
>>583260263Easier to stall
>>583260168>"wheres the harrier"im not japanese but i say that
sent a request to join the 404th squadron>SickBad
>>583259991Dunno. Maybe?7 had a lot of Chinese players as well. >>583260006Yeah you're probably right. Half a million is where most of these games park before they go on sale nowadays, unless it's something super successful.
jesus christ thats like 50% more missions than ace 7
>>583260263Be in there enough and it zaps you, dropping your nose and fuzzing the HUD up, like lightning in 7, also adds to damage?
>>583260506>>583260319I guess the upside is that you can shake enemy lock-ons off when you enter big cloud formations? I almost never flew through them in 7.
I feel bad now
>>583259775I wonder if PA will acknowledge the fanbase for holding on for dear life in Infinity and hoping against hope for AC7
please tell me 8 gives you the medals for lower difficulties when you get the "s-rank all missions" medal
>>583261045Yes, they finally did it this time
>>583260931>to reward your loyalty all dlc planes will be individual dlcs and be the same price as a dlc set
>>583261145thank you....
>>583259968Prepare for kino
>>583260921VERY healthy meta.
>20 seconds to go in Co-Op Warfare.

Ace Combat 8 is tengrist propaganda
>>583261329Fucking with anyone who is crazy enough to fly one of those is just asking for trouble
I don't get the people going giga hard on one plane, we don't know what cost ranges they'll be telling us to use, so I'm spreading myself out for now.
>F14D>Snipe every single fighter on the map in the first 10 seconds at 13kmOkay now i get it
>>583261275oh dont worry im on my S rank ace playthrough
>>583262261the only reason to raise the level cap to 20 is if you want the 3rd SpWthe ability slots and parts slots are also nice
>>583262369i remember a little while back i was saying how ace combat might change the gameplay formula in regards to combat. well, there you go LOL
>>583261942It's not a bad pick. You can build up a good base of points for your team when you get two special weapons slots by shooting LASM and LAGM at the heavy howitzers/siege tanks/ships. What usually sucks is if your team can't back you up in PVP, as high value player kills tip the score balance very quick.
I don't know what drove me to get this to level 20
PvP was a mistake.It should have been an entirely PvE focus with specially designed missions that go on for 15+ minutes. Unique Aces and super weapons etc.
Wait can I not use the Morgan in campaign? I bought it with the pack but there's none in the campaign and i can't find it in the tree? It's surely not locked to online only, right?
>>583262775honestly it's not bad, the A10 is fun and all but by the time you reach anything the entire map already got morgan nuked
I'm noticing Assault matches are entirlye dictated by which team spergs out and tries to fight for the same target cluster and which doesn't>>583263015You need to redeem it in the Online before you can use it offline
>>583263015You gotta beat the campaign first
>>583263015Once you have it in the online mode, you can use it in the singleplayer.Yes, they've honestly done this. If you don't interact or paypig with the MP, you won't get classic super craft in SP.
>zero multiplayer achievements Oh, they know.
>>583263020It's for ng+ only, you have to beat the campaign first.
>>583263015gotta beat the game first iirc
>>583262775If they set a <=800 points mission you're set.
>>583263103>>583263192Oh, I'm still at mission 26>>583263120Wasn't it paid dlc for 7 aswell?
>>583263020>>583263342I'm probably going to stop playing until they change up the matchmaker anyway. Never was interested in PvP and the meta for Assault already crystalized enough to where every match is basically the same and it's just boring.
>>583253714Are you a disgrace? Or is he just that guy?
I fucking hate it here
>>583262226I had the dumbest grin on my face during M28.
>>583263596>HEY DOES IT LOOK LIKE HE'S HAVING FUN?>UHHHH YEAH IT DOES>SHUT IT DOWN
>>583263905I like to think the 5 guys playing AH just really like Capital Assault.

>>583259516i think people just suck at fighting chandelier since it's the only one that requires you to make a tunnel runi've had multiple matches where i get more points with purely missiles and guns than the entire team's worth of ground attackers combined and it only ever happens on chandelier>>5832639058 concurrent? god this series is dead
Can I not get the Morgan by just grinding the online mode, or do i NEED to paypig the battlepass?Also since I'm close to the end of the campaign and will play it right after, how do I unlock the Morgan in Zero? Might aswell ask while I'm here.
One of these planes will surely be my savior.
>>583264253The 30k range is weird rn, personally I plan to skip till Rafale.
>>583263905FAKE NEWSAH IS NOT DEAD
>>583264253>F-35 is worth more than the GameHuh
>>583264313IIRC they've said battle pass stuff will show up in the store afterward, I can only assume that includes the Morgan otherwise all those skins would be kinda wasted
>>583264408Phantom Phorever
ive used the morgan once in mp for a scramble and even that made me feel dirtyit was the only one (of 3 ive done) where we killed all the enemy planes though
This has been the extent of my Ace Combat Online experience, a loading screen stuck at 0%
>>583264313The Morgan in 8 is a paid DLC aircraft. You get it by either buying the premium Ace Pass right now (Its the very first reward, you dont need to actualy grind) or you wait for 2 months and then buy it as a separate DLCTo unlock the Morgan in Zero, A player must complete the campaign of Ace Combat Zero three times, each time ending with a different Ace Style (Mercenary, Soldier, Knight). This doesn't have to be consecutive, and difficulty does not play a factor.
>>583263905AH has 5 more players than I expected.
>>583264483online planes are defined by the skills they unlock so i would'nt really base picks off campain

>>583264630Thanks anon, saved this post for later. And i need to buy the battlepass iguess. This also means no new superjet for 57 days still huh? So around christmas we get another. Which one I wonder.

>>583265073Keep playing until mission 30
>583265073>baby's first bait
I know Ace Combat has been melodramatic and cheesy since 5, but the game and story is so much more enjoyable when it's just military jargon and chatter while the usual rock and orchestral music is blasting. Missions 3 and 4 are the absolute best. When the lame ass drama starts about "muh distrust muh space elevator muh symbols of peace" in the middle start happening it starts becoming less enjoyable.
>>583265073ace combat is an anime game
>>583254827Yes, it calls out its own attacks.UAV LADENROCKET-LAUNCHER LADEN (I assume JP->DE translate fucked up here)And before it begins ramming, you can hear very clearly:BREMSSTRAHL (reverse thrust)

>>583265493WE LIVE IN THE BUNKERWE DIE IN THE BUNKERTHE BUNKER IS EVERYTHING
>>583263905looking back on assault horizon, i'm just frustrated that the entire industry collapsed in that sort of way where everything had to become CODifiedwe're still feeling the consequences of it to this daygun and ball gamers should have been tarred and feathered
>>583264253Growler is the best support janny plane as it gets ESM/ECM Range up. The EA-36 doesn't get this (At least not at Level 15)It's also a competent multirole and handles nice, EA-36 handles better though.Rafale allegedly handles like dog dick. (It did in the campaign too)

>>583261045yes of course!but now you need to do a full clear with just attackers, just fighters, just multiroles
I didn't feel anything for Kate's death. It was too sudden and done wrong
when the music switches up in mission29 though
>>583266687Well she isn't dead, so...
>>583266687I feel the same about PJ. They both just started raising flags out of nowhere.

>>583251575oh shit thanks OPI could use the mantling on the brim of the hat too though
turns out A10 MG shreds chandelier in a single go by itself
>>583253740Seconded. He's like the only one that feels like a complete character. Don't get me wrong, I love most of the others, but a lot of them just kinda react to what you're doing, with the later ones having a gimmick to their character. Dealer I could tell was with us for the whole journey, experiencing it with the rest of us.
In my first playthrough and coming directly off of 7 before waiting 30 min for 8 to unpack, I hardly noticed the changes they made to the camera and outright prefer the new gun reticle. Testing Type A/Type B I ended up going with Type B camera and Type A reticle.
>>5832670178 really upped the supernatural factor of Strangereal
>>583265550Yeah those suckers are designed for counter-insurgency. They just happen to also be rather useful as ablative shields.
Why is everyone so awful about fighting this fuck ass bird. Also fuck Morgan spammers for blinding me though out this fight. They haven't realized it's AtA damage is garbage vs it's ground target damage.
>>583266086God, they really do think of everything.
Kate or Tasha?
>>583267948most nuggets don't know the attack velocity is sub 800 speed so you can keep shooting
>>583268118Jackpot 9
>>583268118Tasha reminds me of a girl I used to date who smelled like dry milk. Kate is essentially Temu Huxian
>>583268391>Kate is essentially Temu HuxianVisually, sorta, maybeWe know Huxian has a mean right hook, we don't know that about Kate
>>583251575Squad's full at the moment, feel free to make /aceg/'s second squadron seems somewhat unnecessary but whateveror wait 2 weeks until I purge those who stayed around for the release and not much longer.
>>583268576SHIT, my cola!
>Got the dialogue where Gemma-1 shoots herselfOh.
RIP toasterfags
Worse soundtrack so far, feeling kinda worried.
>>583268750If you show up trying to help, only to make the actual air support abandon the ground forces to babysit you and your dead weight squadron. Leading to everyone dying, I'd feel bad too
>team 1>4 F-4Es in default skins>team 2>Su-47 x2>Morgan>F-22Online death in two weeks.
>>583268589>purge those who stayed around for the release and not much longerthis is why I didn't sign up. Love you guys but with all the games coming out, not sure how much I'd be playing AC:O
>>583269285If they don't add point limits or just a pure co-op mode with no competitive aspect this shit will collapse
i cant wait for the idolmaster collab and them singing and dancing on stage
>>583269285just wait until the Strike Wyvern is locked in Battlepass 2 with the railgun. Then you'll see true P2W
>>583267948holy pitch rate
>>583266687That's how war goes, anon. You can get smoked out of nowhere.
>>583269393>just a pure co-op mode with no competitive aspectPeople say this but what's the difference between this and some nolifer in another coop game without a competitive element killing everything before you get a chance to do anything? >>583269525Ah you're not thinking greedy enough anon.>We've seen our Aces concerned about the lack of weapons such as the Pulse Laser in 8. To appease those concerns, we've added the F-15C -Trigger- to the next battle pass.
>>583267948hows the mig31 turning so fast lmao
>>583269796You're thinking rationally, but presentation matters to those who can't see the big picture.
>>583269796>People say this but what's the difference between this and some nolifer in another coop game without a competitive element killing everything before you get a chance to do anything?Stings less mentally, desu
>>583266687She got better
>>583269853Its very maneuverable, almost as good as the early f18s
>>583269525I hate this system so much.It's like they know the multiplayer won't last so they're just milking it as much as possible before it dies.At least fucking try Bandai!
>Matched with the same larp squadron 3 times in a rowI even stopped doing warfare for an hour between the 2nd and 3rd game. Why is the matchmaking so dead?
>>583269393It is pure co-op, anyone trying to undermine the other team and not cleaning up a different section of the map is griefing if you don't S rank.>>583270091Sure do love never playing the game and hoarding fuel so if a plane I want comes up I have a chance to top 100 the leaderboard! Oh wait that was an objectively worse system.
>>583270091>just milking it as much as possibleExcept not really. It's grindy as fuck but there's also no way to throw money at it to speed it up beyond the one time premium pass. It's strange
>>583267017>Shows up in the penultimate boss fight over Theve>Is Colonel ranked>Flies an Su-57>That paint jobThats literally just Markov
>>583270346>mission has boss ejected from their plane in slowmo DFM scene and die a horrible death
>>583270215>>583270305it's not Bandai's first multiplayer game, wtf is wrong with them>It's grindy as fuck but there's also no way to throw money at it to speed it upreally boggles the noggin.They have a battlepass for OP planes, and a stupidly grindy system with no way to pay for contracts.Like they just rolled the dice on features
>>583265882>Rafale allegedly handles like dog dick. (It did in the campaign too)Feels fine to me. Also LAAM/LACM is just as busted as you'd think.
bravo bamco
>>583270678The odds are they're just going to turn on the rotation system in a few days and then you'll barely see 1900+ missions.
>>583270693>LAAMThese things are a plague.
It's just like when AC7 launched.
>>583269853Video is playing at 2x speed, obviously. Look at the timer(and also how fast missiles reload and how fast the Foxhound moves).
>>583265447Needs more planes
Uhhh, why can I only use the starter jet? I'm locked to f18 for two missions now, do i need to do something?
>>583271206What other planes do you have?
>>583270215>It is pure co-op, anyone trying to undermine the other team and not cleaning up a different section of the map is griefing if you don't S rank.Except this playerbase is proving to be mentally disabled and that already happens. When assists don't matter and only the final shot does there's no reason not to just kill steal as often as possible.There's also not nearly enough targets for 8 players that know what they're doing.
>online is a group of mercenaries stationed at an airbase in the middle of a desertoh boy I can't wait for more Area 88 references locked behind the battlepass
>>583271206first 2 is locked to the starter unless you use the free mission screen
>>583271206keep playing
>>583268761imagine how it's going to be once you'll be able to stack SP reload
>>583271376Imagine they do the collab again and it's just references without the F-20 or Draken or other boomer planes.
>>583271262Yes but that's because we're at baby mode right now. I thought they'd turn on the system for actually doing stuff when launch happened, but I guess they don't want to work over the weekend. Either monday or when the TDM "event" ends is probably when the real ace combat online will actually begin.
>Turning your missile smoke red is 200 pointswhat
>>583271392Third mission is also starter only, unless you preordered. While you can choose any plane you don't have access to the aircraft tree yet so there's no way to unlock anything.
>>583267017>that one gigachad of a Shadow who had pancreatic cancer, faked his medical records and flew with no painkillers until he got shot down
I don't have much free time and only just finished mission 7 last night and was plaaning on not touching online until I finish the first campaign run. Am I screwing myself over or are there 'new player' or low point lobbies so I can catch up?
Which is best for kulbit online?
>>5832716432nd playthrough keeps the unlocked planes
>>583271890Nope, no new player or low point lobbies. You've fucked yourself.
>>583271928Well, yeah, obviously.
>>583271890There will almost certainly be rounds where everyone has to use low level planes but it's not active yet. Also it's not that serious, legitimately if you're good at spotting where a bomber missed a thing and go clean it up you're more credit to the team than 50% of players.
>>583271890If you paypigged for the game you might be able to just use the morgan and NOT feel like a total asshole because other people will have levelled planes and not starter F-4Es.
D.D. has my trust
Shadow 22 is such a massive nigger for shooting out bailed pilots, I immediately killed all three of his shadow escorts in like 2 minutes after he pulled that shit
Yeah, if you had trouble with teams not doing damage an MG spec'd A10 can litteraly solo all the objectives.Sucks that you can't use it to level other planes without risking a fail tho.it's good on balasts for alicorn as well but the core kill is a bit annoying
I am that guy who will probably consistently score the lowest across both Alpha and Bravo.
>>583272202>Come in>Dodge the first shot from stealth>Annihilate his 3 wingmen>So this is what Wings can do when he bares his fangs>When he does his little horse archer kulbit dodge the QAAM and nail him with 2 HVAAs>he compliments me and retreats while trailing black smokeHonestly, fucking KINO.
>>583272363they should put you on Charlie by yourself
>>583272249>Yeah, if you had trouble with teams not doing damage an MG spec'd A10 can litteraly solo all the objectivesBasically any euro or Russian jet can do this too with MG parts. US jets do a lot less MG damage.
>>583272412Dude, I wish.I'd take Zulu if I could, just to get out of everybody's way.
>>583272534My eurotriangles will be stronk!
>>583272363I'm usually last or 3rd but I am spending the whole match (attempting) to follow the Air to Air guys like Mig 31s with my ECM and those guys if they're paying attention are usually top of the leaderboard by a decent amount.
>>583272610They already are. Gripen and Typhoon are pretty good, Rafale is just a dispenser of death. 7 body parts means you can spec both LAAMs, LACMs, and grab the GUN parts.
>Assault>LAAM slingers snipe every single air target within 30 seconds>Anything on the ground is eaten by Morgans>Warfare>Basically the same shit but now it's applied to playersJust let me do 4 man co-op with friends or some shit. This is ass.
>>583272718But those aren't MINE, I don't have them yet.
So the su47 and su57 switched places in this game? The 47 was much better in 7
>>583272534highly doubt they will do this much DPS, the OF on A10 for 30mm is pretty high
>>583271618Do the points even do anything right now
So does rex fuck kate or is he a cuck? Also the mc of 9 definitely is nagase, isn't she?
>LAAM>Equipe range upgrade>It's still 10kmhuh?
>>583272981No, but it is kinda retarded that cosmetics is more expensive then some genuine upgrades
>>583272963It depends. Remember that you also have weird damage scaling depending on your A2A/A2G rating(the bar) that almost never matters for missiles but does for guns. The Felon's 30mm just fucking shreds air targets.
>>583271987That sucks, but it's ok. I'll just have to outskill everyone.>>583272053Glad to hear it's a probable addition.>>583272142I couldn't afford the extra $20 and I'm not all that interested in the Morgan anyway. I am concerned that battlepasses will have planes I do want in the future and I assume they'll never be accessible without paying extra cash.
if your online aircraft don't look like beat to shit wrecks that are barely airworthy then you are not my wingman
It was more stable before launch It may fail matchmaking once or twice per day.Now It fails up 5 times before I get to play once, doesn't bother me much, what pisses me off is we get to see the small cutscene of all the planes before the error message.
>>583270843>Bamco: thank for playing ;)
>>583273173From what anons have said the pass doesn't even give you enough good boy points to buy the next one. So you can't just buy it once and save the currency.
MY PEOPLE ARE DIVIDEDTHE NATIONS ONCE UNITEDCOLLIDEHEAVEN KNOWS WHO TO SIDE WITH
>>583267017was he sublimated?
>>583273173>I'll just have to outskill everyoneYou won't. Most people already filtered out and now it's just all the people who have been no-life'ing it for a week with meta slop
>>583267017>aircraft exploded>listed as shot down and not as killed in actionYeah, this nigga is a fucking ghost.
>>583272775It's seriously annoying. There's not anywhere close to enough targets for 7 players, either.
>>583263454Paid DLC that got you it for SP.Here in AC8 you HAVE to engage with the MP, and once the Pay Cuck option for the BP is gone, you'll have to grind for it the normal way when it's added to the store at a future date.
after perusing the reddit ace combat page, i've come to the conclusion that i have to go for tasha since they apparently seem to love kate over there and thats tainted her for me
>>583272718It's hilarious just how much offensive power you can stack on the eurodoritos this time around.
>>583273507>Most people already filtered out Non-paypig release was yesterday, there's a bunch of nuggets still going through their first run of the campaign. >>583273797PA have clear and obvious European bias! The Mirage is the best earlygame plane with those UGBs and the Rafale is extremely strong with LAAM/LACM and 7 slots for weapon upgrades.
>>583273306Scamco strikes again
>>583265591Go dance with the Angels, bozo.
>>583273173>Glad to hear it's a probable addition.The system is literally in place right now, it's just loaded up with the exact same ruleset with different maps shuffled in.
>>583273913Yeah, and the minute they step into Online they get their heads caved in like a newborn child. Most people do not stick around after 1 or 2 games of this
Is there a way to change the position of the comm Yes/No response prompt on the ui?
What happened to UE5 dog? He only appeared on that one scene and I don't I saw him anywhere else after in the whole campaign.
Alternate universe where Joker Squadron are a Rafale squadron and they operate out of a reactivated Clemenceau-class.
What?Using the operation names in the assault records and medals keeps confusing me.
Does the PS5 version of AC8 utilize the PS5 controller's adaptive triggers in any way? I started the Ace Combat series with the three PS1 games and got used to their control scheme, so I've had accelerate/decelerate on L1/R1 and yaw on L2/R2 throughout the entire series, including AC6 and 7. If I remap accel/decel to L1/R1 like I'm used to, am I gonna miss out on any functionality aside from the analog control? I did just fine in AC6 and 7 without analog control over accel/decel and just going full power with them.
>>583274339He can be seen on the catwalk with Tasha when they fake-out her leaving the carrier with the rest of the civilians. I assume he's shoreside from that point on.
>>583274438The game utilizes them even if you're on pc.
>>583267948>Why is everyone so awful about fighting this fuck ass bird.>Miss>Miss>Miss
>>583274413Basically you have to not be a little bitch and shoot down Shadow 24 in Mission 18, the one where you go rescue Kate. Then since he's fucking dead he doesn't appear in Mission 28 and is replaced with another member, who you will be able to shoot down.
Having read some of the negative reviews I gotta say: simfags are very obnoxious. Like, niggas, I get it, you enjoy spending 20 minutes on pre-flight checks but does it really warrant leaving a negative review? Can't you see what you're getting yourself into just by UI alone?
>>583274252< No.
Oye hermáno, hey listen, I have jokesYo mamá so big Sotoans call her Megafloat Fatsia
>>583274647How so? If it's just analog control like you'd get with analog triggers on any modern controller, I can live without
>>583268761Did have my only crash so far in online. Total black screen and reboot. Unstable CPU undervolt?
>>583274395it's amazing that france still has a functional arms industry and acquisition organisation purely because of a single guy
>>583274724Do you think that's possible setting it up in free mission or does it need a new campaign run?
>>583272840su47 replaced the 2 su30s & su37. su57 is still a final aircraft
>>583275246What happens if he gets married?

>>583253714I told you about the Mig-31 can't turn. I told you bro.
>>583275502PA hates Harries, this is known. Granted that ACO's live service nature might mean we get it in a BP down the line.
>the F2P kusoge that PA made in a desperate attempt to keep the franchise alive could backfill bots into lobbies when people left>the game with the biggest budget and support from Bamco in series history can't do the sameWhat did they mean by this?
Hold the fuck up, does this nigga have TWO SPs equipped?thought that was illegal online
So Tasha's mom is a veteran yuke ace and had her own AC story involving Tewy? Since Tewy's plane was a Su-47 what do you guys think Tasha's mom used?
>>583276292mig 1.44
>>583276207It's also an overall worse experience than Infinity in just about every way right now
who are the enemies that sometimes show up at the far edges of the map but never engage?later foes? flavour recon? they're usually named though
>>583276287It's like a Lv15 unlock
>>583275732They need to save something for post-launch support, they will revisit AC 0 again. Probably multiple times.
>buying planes online fucking sucks because you need to level themHow's the Gripen, by the way?
what's a good attacker that isn't slow as fuck, i got baited by the a10
>>583276621It has LAAMs so it's alright, not a very good ground spw though.
Do missile speed and guidance stack or do they cancel each other out?
>>583275568>ww2 happens and france gets invaded>government surrenders and cozies up with the germans>random general by the name of de gaulle who fled to london decides to start a new government out of a sense of duty>ww2 comes and goes and de gaulle returns to france, becomes president and remains president until the end of the 1960s>de gaulle is so proud of being french that he routinely made anti-american (and sometimes anti-NATO iirc) decisions and wanted french weapons and political decisions to be made in france instead of in washington>trentes glorieuses (thirty glorious years) happens largely under his presidency where france becomes a titan of industryfast forward to today and italy and france are the only two european countries left with any real sort of industry. because of that, france is still developing its own fighter jets, submarines, hypersonic missiles, etc. the organisation that deals with weapon acquisitions, the direction generale de l'armament, is known to be pretty efficient and effective and everything generally works well together to make france arguably the strongest military power in europe today
>>583276929I like the F-2
>>583275568The guy he's talking about Charles de Gaulle, you may have heard of him. Long story short he engineered post-WW2 France from the ground up to never be reliant on other countries for military equipment. It's why practically all French equipment is built completely in-house, rather than multinational or bought from the US. That's allowed them to retain a lot of institutional knowledge and production capability, which leads to things like them being to only European nation to operate a nuclear aircraft carrier for example.
>>583276287>Meta TomcatLook on the bright side though. You won't get to play the game either
>>583276929su34?
>>583276972>France is still developing its own fighter jetsNot if it can't stop trying to take 80% work and just making Germany pay for it.
>>583276292Boring answer, but probably a Flanker. Su-37 maybe?
>>583276929Morgan
>>583276990>>583277026do any of those start with UGL or get it on l5 at least
>>583276929F-15J with UGBs>But that's a fighterIt still kills ground targets just fine.
>>583277183F-2 starts with anti-ship and gets UGB at level 5.
>>583277138what would germany even be able to offer, work-wise? they haven't made a fighter jet in how many decades now?
>>583276292Fulcrum.
>>583276525Aces that appear after certain conditions are met. Go kill them for cheevos.
>co-op assault>space elevator>for once, teams are fairly evenly matched, a mix of F-4s and F-14As are the only crafthell yeah this really coo->[MISSION UPDATE]>EIGHT FUCKING ADF-11SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why do people hate mission 15?I thought it was fun an intense
>>583276929May I interest you in the McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle?
>>583277468Airbus does in fact make eurofighter parts. France is going to get left behind so hard if it keeps trying to force this and think it can get away with it. Frogs in 10 years will be flying fucking GCAP and seething if they can't stop this behaviour. Because they don't have the money to make a new fighter on their own again.
>>583277702It's a skill issue
>>583277610Jesus Christ how horrifying.
I don't understand why Project Aces keeps trying to do PvP when it doesn't work.
I have a sneaking feeling they aren't going to update the online in any meaningful way anytime soon
>>583277702literally an ego issuethe first pass they make on the fleet, where you can't catch up, breaks their brains and egos
>>583271170Maybe a bit more planes
What's your wishlist for planes to be added right now? For me it's the tornado. Where the FUCK is it?
>>583278069Draken
>>583265447>Savian, Shilage, Shark and Green all get generic Sotoan liveries Kind of a disappointment. At least the named ace skins are cool.
>>583277942>>583277702>People have no way of knowing what the mission entails>Drops a boss you can't keep up with and gives you little window of opportunity if you can't get close>Shocker, people don't like being blindsided especially if they're in sluggish aircraft
>>583278069F-5 family, CFA-44, Su-30s, chinkshit and south korean jets, Mig-23, F-15 Active, Mig-144
>>583277748iirc the only thing airbus in germany makes for the eurofighter is the central fuselage and they also perform the final assembly. france is the one with actual military objectives and requirements so yeah, they seem pushy but they don't have much choice. what about germany's ridiculous requirements for a long-range fighter? what the hell do they need that for? they can barely maintain what they currently have. seriously, as imprudent dassault can be, germany is like the spoilt little brother in this scenario
>>583278069I'm suprised they didn't add the Silent Eagle to replace the F15E
>>583277896>>583277904The pvp works okay when people are flying comparable planes, but they made ZERO fucking effort to stop people from face fucking F-4Es and shit in Morgans and Su-35s. It needs literally one single guy with a modicum of sense to go over it to balance shit.
>>583277138Genuinely, what the fuck else is Germoney even good for? Why do we even keep them around if not to pay for EU projects?
>>583270843in ac7 I'd only play with low cost cause then I didn't have to deal with tryhards and their OP planes
So how often did ACI get updates?
>>583278426They're good at admin
>>583277904>>583277896>>583278393So what's difficulty level for in lobbies if its not for making sure everyone has close to the same ranks?
>>583278242
>>583278312No France is the spoilt one who thinks it's owed german money to prop up their industry. Germany can in fact just go "nah" Not to mention NO ONE trusts france to take any sort of leadership role in EU foreign affairs because France just wants to turn the EU into a French vehicle for its foreign policy objectives, which uh, no one else wants. So they either need to get off their high horse, or they'll just be the biggest loser.
How do I change aircraft skins in new game +? I don't see the tab for it
>>583277705what SP does it have in online?
>>583277183I think the Fullback needs level 5 for its UGBLs. They're pretty good though, might even beat SFFS. Wish they weren't exclusive to it because it's still kinda slow(though not as bad as the frogfoot or the A-10). >>583278525No, they're good at wasting paper.
>>583278069The YF-23 and Su-37, WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY PA? Baffling omission. >>583278391I wasn't expecting the F-15SE but I'm surprised they didn't replace the F-15E with the EX.
>>583278393I'm gonna disagree, PvP is boring in this series even when it works. It doesn't have the satisfying flow of fighting the NPCs where they let up after you keep up for so long so you can land your shots.Ace Combat's online should be all in on 4-player co-op, extensive PvE experiences, with their own mini-narratives, unique bosses, unique Aces etc. That's where AC's strength lies, yet Project Aces apparently keeps forgetting what people like about AC.

>>583278562I don't know what that means you're going to have to be more specific
>>583278669EU needs to die. Europe needs to burn again. We need new brother wars, this time throwing the nu-europeans in the meat grinder.
>>583278242Speed does not matter, they go gigaslow when they turn and that's when you'll do all of your damage.Unless you're in a fucking A-10 for the memes you'll be just fine. Even the starter F-18C can do it with 4AAMs on Elite.
>>583278775It's the drop tank that was only on the top gun hornet in 7. Now any plane can have it
>>583278562Who fucking knows man
>>583278756idk it's very funny when people get into retard spirals. I killed 2 aces in coop warfare and flew away and one guy chased me so hard, and so stupidly that while I was worth many points he just flew in a circle around me while I stayed just above stall and didn't let him get anything. It was comedy gold.
>>583277702Because they're rigged with anti-fun magnets, and an invisible battle timer due to the fleetAlso, anyone who didn't do Elite and multirole only for their first playthrough's opinion is irrelevant
>>583278879>they go gigaslow when they turn and that's when you'll do all of your damage.How are you supposed to know where they turn on the first attempt at the mission when they strafe the ship, and then fuck off halfway across the map and turn in the clouds?
>>583278756The pvp could work if the missions were bigger and more interactive where pvp could be more dynamic. Though I don't disagree at all with your points otherwise.
>>583278669I want the EU to remilitarise and restart colonial conquests, and France is the only country willing to do that. So I'm behind them 100%.
They really should've had a different set-up for the world of ACO, doing the Alicorn sortie but without Torres screaming at you is a lot less fun.
>>583278694Anyone?
>>583279139D-Pad
>>583279049>How are you supposed to know where they turn on the first attempt at the mission when they strafe the ship, and then fuck off halfway across the map and turn in the clouds?Just intercept them you fucking retard. It's not that complicated, if you see them go into the clouds extrapolate their path and go there. Also you can just look at your god damn radar, they're always at the centre of the jamming circle.
>day3 after finishing the campaignI can't Buddys.... I need more Ace Combat.Why can't I live in an era where AI is so good it can generate more missions and more adventures on the fly
>>583278721does it also get LASM by any chance, at this point i just need solid damage to carry shitters for the alicorn because this fight is way too fucking annoying to do on A10, at least it can solo chandelier.
>>583279001Retard
>>583279227You're asking too much of them
Wait, so the universal blueprints aren't actually universal? Why can't I use them?
>>583279314Nope. 4AGM, UGBL, and HCAA. But honestly the UGBL does such fucking gigaretarded damage with parts that it can solo the Alicorn.
mommy
>>583279227>Just intercept them you fucking retard.NTA but do what? They have jamming, you literally don't get lock. So at that point you're reliant on your machine gun and a two second window.The way I beat the mission after flubbing the first attempt was taking the Mig31 and chasing them down so I could maintain lock behind them. Anybody who says it can't do it is lying.
>>583279393They're for later level ups, just another resource to grind
>>583279509nice jaw
>>583279393It's a janky translation, it means that they're used for every plane.

>>583279550>NTA but do what? They have jamming, you literally don't get lock. So at that point you're reliant on your machine gun and a two second window.Intercept. Look at their path, extrapolate it, and cut inside their turn to get a shorter path. They turn in a giant radius so you can easily get close even if you don't have a superfast jet as long as you're actually using your brain and not just blindly chasing their tail.>two second windowThey open their wings and keep them open for like 30 seconds, you can lob like 20 missiles in that time if you keep switching between your weapons.>you don't get lockYou do if you get closer.

>>583278669france is like an older brother who's experienced but broke and germany is a younger brother who knows nothing but has money and will only give the money to his older brother if he does what he says>Not to mention NO ONE trusts france to take any sort of leadership role in EU foreign affairs because France just wants to turn the EU into a French vehicle for its foreign policy objectives, which uh, no one else wants. So they either need to get off their high horse, or they'll just be the biggest loser.are we still talking about france here? or germany?>France is the spoilt one who thinks it's owed german money to prop up their industryanon, the entire EU is literally designed to prop up german industry, how are you just now learning about this?

I'd get maybe 2-4 seconds of firing time before they sped off and broke lock. Sorry but unless your craft is fast enough there's just no feasible way to maintain lock.

>>583276929one of the best choices in campaign is the F-18E with the cluster munitions and some parts to make them even more bustedi accidentally beat a level with them within less than 2 minutes that was supposed to take much longer
>>583280458Wouldn't you rather open some loot boxes?
>>583278069Tornado is in licensing hell and theres a good theory its the reason we don't get real rereleases of the ps2 games
>>583280503I'd rather shoot myself in the head.
>>583280458Nope. You WILL pay $15.99 every 2 months for the privilege of grinding the skins in a battlepass and you WILL like it.
>>583279641I actually just went to check the Japanese and yeah it's more like "outside of the standard" which is definitely a pain to translate so I only sorta go "wtf were you doing guys." Really hard to say in English in a concise way.

>>583283432I wish this game had VR support. the camera controls on keyboard are absolute retarded monkey shit what the FUCK were they thinking tier. the game doesnt even have proper HOTAS support.
>>583283598You can mod VR into it, people have already done it.
>>583283340I'm talking about the MANUFACTURING, they don't need to design it, they need to be shown the spec and what to do to manufacture it. But good news, FCAS is done, France has no future air power prospects, glory be to GCAP.
>>583283598You're supposed to play with a controller
>>583283740who the fuck plays any ace combat since air combat with a controller? who do you take me for? a cuck? a retard? a onions cuck retard?
I just have to die to get my missiles back for the second half of mission 8I still got S, but is there like a strategy?Should I let people die?
SNECMA balls
I'm on mission 15 and my hardest moment in it is not losing them in the clouds. its fucking me up
>>583283598https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weAhEMpT87kYeah, weird how this doesn't have native VR support. I guess the mission design would conflict with VR? Like there'd be too much clutter or something. I honestly don't know why it's not included, other than for purely budget reasons.
>>583283972You could just checkpoint restart without dying to get your ammo backAlso guns guns guns
>>583283553Nevermind, I thought Akula's first plane was the Terminator, not the Flanker E.
Of all the various Sukhois I just want my terminator
>>583283972Guns are really lethal especially when you get targets like enemies in a straight line taking up an entire road
Ace combat would have seriously benefited from the Helldivers multiplayer setup, procedural generated missions with tons of enemies and some fun objectives on those maps etc. Just call them Mercenary contracts and shit on a strangereal world map. These 2 minute arcade missions with not enough enemies are not it.
Shadow 22 is a literal weasel. He uses such bullshit excuses to be a dick for no reason.

Did 7 launch with the season pass for the dlc? If so, 8 not having one means we're not getting anything...?
why do they keep changing the medium for the cutscenes? why can't they just stick with anime or CGI or one thing?
>>583284591It's literally Infinity
>>583284796Yeah. And it sucks.
>>583284727You could buy the deluxe edition which included the season pass, but the season pass wasn't launched until later.
>>583280135https://anonmp4.art/v/U5FQCyf5d7OmXyKHere you go. Starter F-18C, Ace difficulty, still easily killed both Ladens.You simply DO NOT NEED that much speed. And this was a super sloppy run because I forgot how terribly the F-18C handles lol.

okay the cutscenes are quite annoying for the repeat ace playthrough>hold start>hold start>loading>hold start>loading>hold start>play
>>583286137I still watched them. I like to see whether I can pick up extra details whenever I replay a game.Will probably get really annoying by like the 4th replay.

Sotoa is such a cool and unique faction. PA really cooked with these guys. Hopefully a future DLC gives us more background on them.
>>583286518Stupid difficulty spike. New waves do not stop coming either. Use 8AGM on the F35 For tanks and howitzers. Ignore sams and AA guns. It's the tanks fucking people up.

Not in a million years would I have guessed that Ace Combat was more niche than Gothic.
>>583286703Is that how it works? I don't play modern multiplayer games. It'll probably be dead by then though.
>>583286518Take UGBs.Drop UGBs on hostile forces.You cannot kill your own allies with UGBs so don't worry about dropping them danger close.
>>583286949Everyone in Germany and Poland play gothic.
>get to mission 14One of THOSE types of missions. Great. My first completion gave me an B rank. Is this the one that's gonna cause total ball ache to S rank?
>>583286703If they're actually following infinity there will be events on top of that.
>>583284934Is it possible to shoot down the one escaping from the air field in mission 7 on a first playthrough?
>>583286949Flight games are the nichiest of niche genres. On most genre popularity charts racing will be at the bottom and flight will be completely missing.
>>583287248I never realized racing games were niche at all with how popular Forza games are.
>>583287225It's not possible on any playthrough. You can damage it though. >>583287057>Is this the one that's gonna cause total ball ache to S rankIt's really easy, just go through the mission at full throttle. There's a medal for not getting spotted but S rank does not rely on that.
>>583287056I know Poland does, that's for sure. Archolos and so on.Didn't expect Germany to be THAT interested in it, thought they'd abandoned it and moved on.
>>583286748eh, their motivation were beyond retarded imo but sure.Guess it's not everywhere that you see air mongols
>>583287248>Flight gamesFlight sims - sure. Too expensive+entry level is high. Same for racing sims. Not that many people play iRacing for example. But AC really is an arcade game. Hook up a controller and you're good to go.
>maxed out Phantom>maxed out FishbedAlright, done with online for now since I've got my anti-Emergency Sortie planes. Only at First Sergeant so I'm not sure what to grind next, might just get to level 10 on the F-14A/F-18C/Morgan and save all my money for buying and upgrading the Barricader since I want to healslut max.
>>583287572how long was the grind to max both of those? I wonder if maxing all aircraft is doable
>>583287334Forza Horizon is like the only big one left after Need for Speed seemingly shat the bed for good.
>>583287054I use the su57 i only have LAGMI do fine untill the two birds come in so i have to leave for a minute to kill them but by the time I'm done my groundforces are dead and overrun
>>583287572how did you get ace skins in online?
>>583281590you can kill the landships with a single one if you buff them up later on
I have now completed one full run of the game and can re-engage in discussion. Many, many SODs were fired in the defence of the FCU.
>>583287404>not possible on any playthroughDoes it just have infinite health? I would imagine a Morgan should be able to laser it down if not.
>>583287445Better than the Kingdom of Erusia, who's motivations are nebulous and vague at best.
>>583287660Take a SU-47 instead, which you presumably already unlocked on your way there. It's an A2G workhorse in this game, got me through most missions without breaking a sweat.
>>583287334Forza, especially the Horizon subseries, is the most popular racing games by a huge margin. The recently released FH6 sold like 5 million in a month and has probably reached like 7 million by now.These numbers are fucking small for the most popular game in an entire genre. Genre-leaders in FPS, RPG, sports, etc. sell way more AND those genres have a lot more depth. Ace Combat is basically the only flight game that sells and AC7 was a huge outlier. Forza and GT are the only racing games that sell now that NFS is basically dead(unless you consider Mario Kart a racing game, which it really isn't). >>583287542Sim vs arcade isn't really the point. People don't play racing games, even arcade ones, outside of buying Forza Horizon once every 5 years and maybe the occasional NFS(but those have massively declined in popularity too). And flight games are even less popular than that. It doesn't matter that you can play it on a controller, your average gun and ball gamer cannot get 3D movement through their head no matter how hard they try.
>>583287445>eh, their motivation were beyond retarded imo but sure.I'm not sure how "we live in a desert shithole and we no longer wish to live in a desert shithole" is all that complicated.Not to mention EO manipulating them behind the scenes.
>>583286468It's a more barebones infinity that lacks polish and balance in general but with less grind and no fuel.I want to believe that's gonna get better desu.
>>583287572>>583287709I'm guessing when you unlock the final level cap for a given aircraft (over 15) you get access to the ace skin and that ugly yellow/red skin.
>>583287660The SU-57 has LACM, not LAGM, and that's a generally great A2G weapon so you should be fine. But you should have plenty of planes with UGBs as well by this point. >>583287919It just flies off at mach fuck and I'm pretty sure it's protected so you can't kill it.
>>583287635I think it's safe to assume about a day's worth of playtime to max out a single plane. I stuck with the starter F-4 since I knew I wanted gunpod memes and that probably took me the better part of ~16 hours of game time, then I bought the Mig-21 and focused on that. I immediately blew all my XP Memories on the Mig though and ran into the problem of not having enough blueprints to go from 10 to 15 and 15 to 20, since I'd also been been buying Level 2 parts in the store for 10k each, so I ended up wasting time grinding the Tomcat/Hornet as I had to earn 180k Zoll into total for all my upgrading.>>583287709Plane specific rewards for unlocking the Level 20 cap.
>>583288072Yeah, it's pretty clear by the end that Sotoa is basically a failed State that hangs on the whims of EO, I bet their megafloats that sustain a large part of their country are basically owned by them.
>>583288289The higher level planes want a LOT more blueprints.
>>583286518You take the McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle and you drop SFFSs all over the entire map.
>>583287572I honestly think the accel you get from NGHPC is better than SupMan for the Fishbed. With only 2 body slots I'd take NGHPC 2 and FAPD 2.
>>583288278What even has UGBs outside of F4 and A10, A6 maybe ? Is there any higher tier that has them or at least similar AOE, LACM didn't feel as good especially with the radius upgrade
>the enemy used AI to photoshop our surveilance images of their big tank's guns to trick us into thinking it had less range
>>583288479The mirage has them
>>583288027>that picfucking hell, americans have abysmal taste in games
>>583288426Yeah, was a shock already going from the F-4 to the Mig where Level 20 for the Phantom was only 30 blueprints iirc and for the Mig it was 60. Might buy a Growler for ESM purposes but I'm pretty broke after buying so many parts.>>583288452Might just switch it out then. I always forget how slow it is compared to other fighters.
holy fuck I love standoff dispensers so muchcarpet bomb EVERYTHING
>>583288479Berkut
>>583288479Aside from the ones you've named the F-18C, F-14A, Mirage, Berkut, F-15J have UGBs and the Fullback has UGBLs with more damage and AoE but less capacity.
>>583288826>americansnta not even american but this is probably the same across the world outside of some places like japan/sea
What 2 star parts are worth buying first? I'm leaning towards the UGB bomb damage

>>583276292Hornet in some Russian paint job like an aggressor.
>>583288834NGHPC 2 is just a busted part in general that should be run on basically everything. Because of the way accel works it not only increases your top speed but it massively boosts acceleration, even more than the accel boosting parts do.
>>583286748We need a full game about the Yuktobania Sotoan war
>>583289095>different in AsiaWell yeah, like I said they're a bit different.Still. I see RPGs and Action games. Some fighters there too. No FPS from what I can tell but that's normal for Asia.

>>583289550Nobody gives a shit about what Useans are doing
>>583289401It started life as the McDonnell Douglas so it's funnier to me to continue calling it that
>>583289550
>>583289794i just realised, is it not available in online?
>>583289407>Blisk>when High Pressure Components actually give you better acceleration due to the fucked way AC7 and 8 calculate it
>>583289753This, we don't call the Dodge Spirit the Stellantis Spirit.
>>583289794>Trigger put the Three Strikes on his fucking carWhat a dork lol
>>583289248How should i set up the F-14A? It's not really obvious what most of the "body" parts even do, outside the directional buffs, and even then what "SM" does in comparison.
>>583287572Jesus anon this can't have been fun.
>>583288536Or that was just Enzo's excuse for feeding the FCU bogus info via DD.
>>583287404Then it's the checkpoint system that stands in the way? So if I'm caught again the very end, I gotta restart the whole damn thing?
Did i miss something or is there no NG+ option ?Do you really have to select every mission individually once you finished the game, with the continue being the last mission of the campaign on the first selected difficulty ?Also online is beating my ass, i just got to the mig31 and finally i can turn without needing to put my blinkers on. Why the fuck are levels and upgrades grind gated ?
>>583289794You know, even though rex got alot more glaze in 8, the single line of "if you see three strikes, count to three and the enemy will be gone" is just so much more powerful. I think we can all agree trigger would win in a 1v1.
>>583290162just select restart campaign
>>583289550Rosa was fine; she escaped in an Osprey before the land battleship started fucking everything up. You can actually see it fly around during the mission I think this might make her the only AC character to get into an Osprey and not die, actually
Okay is it just me or is a lot of dialogue in AC8 really fucking weirdly written even for the Japanese writing standards? Sometimes it feels like a shitty manga MTL that got touched-up by some retard who managed to make it even worse.
>Give people shit for thinking mission 15 was hard>I mean come on just alpha strike the Ladons with 6aams or something>Get back to it on Ace difficulty>Fly in with an Eagle using 4AAMs and HCAA>Kill the first one no problem>Fail to kill the second one 3 times in a row>Only reason I succeeded on the 4th attempt was because I took out one of the engines before the CIWS went upDid it always have CIWS on lower difficulties? I genuinely don't remember this mission giving me any trouble the first time around
>>583290389>Did it always have CIWS on lower difficulties?Yea. You need to spam it with guns constantly as well
>>583290219Nice try."reset your campaign data" doesnt exactly sound like they're letting you keep plane progress.I am wary about the wording.
>>583289947why not both if you're flying a brick
>>583290543you're a retard
>>583290579I guess if you've got the body slots, but you'd generally be better served with Flaps or SupMan (unless you just wanna fuck off to the edge of the map and lob LAAMs at people in your Foxbat/Tomcat)
>>583290597Thank (You) for your inputYou were not helpful
>>583290543It doesn't wipe your unlocks, just resets your story progress to Zero.
>>583289963Trigger is a fucking lunatic dude he will boil you for saying that about his car.
>>583290389Its why destroying one engine bank on both of them before shooting one down makes things easier, you don't give enough time for the other one to go crazy.
>>583281590SODs were always good. The problem was you didn't have enough of them.
>>583290843No, your favorite Ace Combat is 3.
THIS IS LITERALLY MY FIRST MATCHWE BALL
>>583291073LAAMs are a hell of a drug
It takes WAY too long to level planes.
>>583290343The translation is very janky, either done VERY late so we basically got a first draft or they were cheap as fuck and got a team way too small.
>>583282694You never played Ace Combat 5 kid?
99 more matches until E/FA-36s! Got F-15E, tried XSDB. They're nice but not capable of the pure violence UGBs can do, so I'm not sure if EA-36 w/ IEWS + XSDB will be the "right" play.wtb BA-36 w/ UGBLs, MGPs, and LACMs.
How dirty can the planes get? Is it like after X amount of missions (say 3-4) it reaches maximum dirtiness?
>>583253714 >Mig-31 shithead getting fuckedlove to see it, use a non broken aircraft next time dickhead.>dies to a EW planeCancer fighting cancer.
Why won't the (((belkans))) let me take the X-40 into multiplayer?
>>583292134You're supposed to run the SFFS with the Eagle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0glpYM28HaEWe got another convert, buddies.
>>583292242It'll be there eventually.
Is an A-6E only run possible?
>>583292339I'll be sure to practice with them before I swap to the EA-36 with SFFS.Is what I would say if Project Aces would look a little beyond their bubble and inherit the good ideas from their clones and let me put anything on anything.
>>583292142They can get pretty dirty. I assume they use the same bars from online but just increase them by a set amount each mission.
>>583292547I think you'd get filtered by the Ladon bombers, the A-6 doesn't have the SPW to get past that DPS check nor the maneuverability to keep the things in target range for long enough. But if you give the rest of Joker superplanes or drop down difficulty it might be doable.
Is this actually worth using? What is considered "medium speed"?
>>583292431hearing glacial skies feels like seeing an old friend after 30 years, every single time. it's peak
>>583290114Yeah, that's my point, yet after something so obvious they still trust the guy instead of throwing him overboard.
How do you get Lv2 parts in MP?
>>583291073>still memeing on people onlineGood to see you having fun, buddy.
>>583293237store
>>583293237Store
>>583293237In the store under Aircraft Items, all they way at the bottom below skins and such. 10k per part.
>>583293283>>583293336>>583293337You're kidding me? God damn.
>>583293467ye they're like 10k credits each
>>583276423>>583277151Would be a cool way to introduce one of these two in some sidestory DLC
>>583293467The organisation is really fucking dumb. I say this as someone that loved infinity enough to defend most decisions, but the way they use the store is fucking stupid. WHY ARE THERE TIME LIMITED ZOLL SKINS IN A RANDOM SECTION OF THE STORE AND NOTHING DIRECTLY POINTING YOU TO THEM?
I think I found one of the most showerless sweatiest teams so far
>>583290121My man getting caught does not instafail the mission, just keep flying.And yes, using checkpoints adds to your total time so don't do that.
So what the fuck did D.D. mean at the end when he said Wings was real and so was he?
>>583293808the one piece is real
>>583293881he wanted to go viral and he finally did, now his channel is famous and he can be a streamer off of the hype
>>583293881He got high with the TikTok views
>>583293881he achieved something tangible instead of being just a cog in an autonomous anonymous network
Correct me if I'm wrong but AC8 is the first game to mention the Sotoan-Yuktobanian war, right? Like PA just sort of it had it written in to justify the on-going shenanigans in 8 itself. Do any of the previous episodes of Aces at War mention it?
>>583293760Looks like one sweatlord, two faggots thinking they are him and just a nugget for me
>>583294232>two faggots thinking they are himkek
>>583292431she literally makes this face at multiple points
>>583253334After the X-40 there's a 150k MSRP damage absorption part.I still don't know how effective it is but i guess it should shrug off at least AA cannon fire and railguns near-miss
>>583292431Kobayashi bagged another one lmao. Composers like him are why even though the majority of games I play are western overall I would say the Japanese industry has us outclassed OST wise especially in the modern day when most triple A affair is pretty bland in the western industry.
>>583291109My real MVP that match was the gun, funnily enough. It's really easy to use compared to 7.>>583293261I'm really having fun. It's a bit of a shame that the squadron's already full, but it's not unexpected.
Anons, do you think THIS could finally be the year we make it?Since 2023, AC soundtracks have been getting more and more attention from the mainstream. A lot of YouTubers have covered them, and they’ve basically reached every major gaming music community.So, with this year’s release, do you actually think the soundtrack could get nominated for Best Score and Music at the Game Awards?
these niggers with F-22s are so fucking gay man
>>583292431on that note>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMBedwuztcU
>>583294979Game Awards are decided by whoever belts out the most money so probably not
>>583294979>Anons, do you think THIS could finally be the year we make it?dear anon, you needn't worry about whether or not we "make it", for we already have something magical and our fellow aces are our friends :)
>>583295130Oh hey it's those Titanx guys, they're infamous Playstation tryhards that get into clan-vs-clan drama with other tryhards.
>>583295130I don't even want to play warfare because of these types of fucking losers.
>>583295342I know right, but that would be a hell of a celebration, don't you think?>>583295194it surely used to be like that, but i'm pretty sure now the money talk only for the trailer placements. At least one of the BG3 developers (that's a friend that i trust) told me that directly
So, how many minor characters can you save in the game? Apparently it can be several and I am now just finding out.
Without shitposting, what're the odds the online sees any kind of changes/adjustments? I was hoping it would take longer than a week for it to become as stale as it has
>>583295370they're so fucking gay lol.>>583295407i'm just reporting them for the "conspiring/ganging up" thing because it's funny. the way they taunt people in lobbies is so pathetic. faggots all around.
soon I can finish going all in with the mig-21
>>583293467It's crazy to me that the most mandatory purchases in the store are buried under a mountain of shit. If you're facing someone with a Lv2 guidance on their standard missiles and you don't have it, you're just shit out of luck.
>>583295520take solace in the fact that they are at least 300lbs
How likely is the fenrir and its tactical nuke as special weapon?
>>583295597My guess would be frail, weak, and pale tranny chasing nerds.
>>583295597they probably weigh more than the entire missile capacity of my F-18E.
>>583295476>I know right, but that would be a hell of a celebration, don't you think?i wouldn't take game awards seriously these days
Current datamine says next battlepass is the yf23 and then the xfa44
are the uav drone funnels Fun or does the ammo capacity gimp them from being ground rape machines like SOD/SFFS?and for online, am i gimping myself by throwing so many shekels into the fishbed if i’m a pve cuck? is there a better early score grinder plane?
>>583295695If it crashes and burns like it already kinda is? Probably not. If it can recover from an awful early meta? Probably, since they'll almost certainly be digging for stuff to put in BPs though I imagine all the AC7 stuff that isn't in will be first
Baaased
>>583295990would party up with
Just finished my first run of the campaign and I can't get Hortus Regis Alti out of my head. Such a good song. I hope we got dlc to the campaign because I already miss Joker squadron.
>>583295890This is highly probable, since we already have chandelier in game and the whole "every BP season one game" thing, the next covered game could easily be AC6
>>583295890>Nosferatuas if the MP wasn't cancer enough already, they're making it a lot worse this soon
>>583296198>This soonThis bp has 57 days left +60 days of yf23Nearly half a year
>>583296319we have 9 years until the next gameit's soon
might as well pick one ECM and get the challenges out of the way
I didn't realize you could shoot the parachutes for the cruise missile palettes on the fort grays level and it'll work, that's cool
Whose dick do i have to suck to get tornado in the game? With the tigerstripes? Why are the jews denying me my plane wife?

>>583296491>Whose dick do i have to suck to get tornado in the game?PanAvia, and they'll want several million euros as well.
What the fuck is wrong with Toprak on Ace? Nigger seriously has some reality defying missile deflecting field around him.
>>583296491we have tornado at home
What if they make Nemo an AI ghost in your head like Cope for AC9?

Ace combat online is kinda dull, isn't it? When are they going to change it up? The AC infinity formula has been tired for thirteen years.
>>583296789Shove a railgun slug up his ass
Anons do I go all in on the Typhoon or wait 50 matches to invest in the Rafale once it is unlocked? For ground-pounding sidearm 8AGM vs LACM is a tough choice, and I love both planes equally.>>583295695First the Ace Pass will do 07, 04, 05, and 06, probably in that order. Remember each is 2 months. Next is likely 3, then we might get X.
>>583296789Not even on ace, he's just scripted to have missiles never hit him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4yXcZK-WPM

>Try to tell myself the Assault is technically just a co-op thing and it's all whatever>Ending up impossible to ignore the fact like three people in meta picks can devour every target on the mapI was looking forward to this too
>>583296970Well, I watched my friends, who played on normal, down him normally with them. Good ol' QAAMs worked for me on Expert, but on ACE nothing other than GUNS GUNS GUNS seems to work. I guess I haven't tried SASM'ing his ass.>>583296874Yeah I guess I'll just BRRRRRRRRRT him.>>583296957I don't like using superplanes.
>>583296970It would have been so easy to give them some kind of ECM, have some gigachad savian get him on his sights and the missile just veers off.
>>583265550I would NOT want to be infantry in Strangereal
It's been 10 years you think someone would've turned Stonehenge into a cool tourist destination or something by now
>>583297163I tried on Elite, at best managed to get one(1) hit with QAAMs. I've heard SASMs are good against him too.
Doesn't anyone have a list of what 50 sortie titles are tied to which planes yet?
>>5832969608AGMs look cool as fuck but their ammo capacity is way too small and they still fucking lock stack.No idea which plen has the better stats this time around, but if the difference is anything like 7 you want the Rafale for maximum dogfighting prowess.
So, actual chances of being able to use the F-117 and Harrier are high considering they need more aircraft for goy passes, yeah?
>>583297313they work but if he does is magic full speed FSM it drops targeting and doesn't explode so it's still iffy but that's what i used to S rank the mission with game.You could cheese him with morgan nukes if you have it
>>583297140Unfortunately that happens even in non competitive co-op, some metafags were so annoying to play with in SC2 co-op missions.
>>583296198The CFA-44 was a bit of a heavyweight, stall prone, missile barge in AC7. It had poor stability in AC6 as well. I reckon it will catch people off guard with AC8s heavier flight model.
>>583297491>Harrierlol lmao
>>583297634I-it happened, twice!
Mission 30
>>583297491I would argue basic planes like that are more likely to be generic "we've added this to the zoll store"
>>583297530You don't need to maneuver when you rain death with the ADMM and one-shot the entirety of the ground targets in multiplayer
>>583297530The CFA-44 filters people pretty hard with it's funny high-G quirk. Needing to level out to stop a high-G turn will absolutely fuck you under the right circumstances.
>>583297530Sure, but 8 lets you use 2 special weapons and that means you get the "kill everything" button with the ADMM and the "kill this guy in particular, twice" with the dual EML.It's gonna be turbocancer.
if the a10 shartdog is in game, i don't see why a harrier shouldn't
>>583297491F-117 could be part of the AC1 battlepass if they separate it from AC2 and AC:3DCR and pair it with the arcade Air Combat games
>>583297491You need to look elsewhere.
>>583297889assuming you'll have to move away from people surviving a 24 missile barrage from 2 angles is pretty optimistic
>>583297334No Plans to Retire is for the F-4, at least.
Alright, so if I boughted the good boy edition and want to try online, do I become Morgan scum or do I knuckle down and grind out a shitplane?Can you do premades with your squadron or something?
Surely it would make more sense for the absolute garbage planes like the Frogfoot to come loaded with the best non-super weapons available? The FF would see actual use if it came with shit like the UGBL out the gate and lots of them.
>>583298643That makes too much sense.
>>583298532You can grind out a usable and a non-shitter plane/loadout way faster with the Morgan. You just skip the pain of being stuck in an F-4 until you get a decent platform.
>>583298643only fishbed is allowed to use top meta SPs
>>583298295I want the Nosferatu scramble mission to just be a recreation of the Pasternak fight, with a billion Malebolges in the way and shooting at you.
Anyone else getting these errors by the dozen in MP?It takes around 25 to 30 minutes just for me to find a match, it's really starting to piss me off.
>>583298890It was bad at launch when I had crossplay on, turning it off then helped, but I turned it back on and it's been smooth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-x_iyF-0vUI think the third one is the best. Something about those guitar licks(?) that kick in at 9:12. Wish there was more of THAT instead of the "loud" AH-esque stuff that comes right after. I like when it sprinkles a lil bit of guitar in instead of having it at the forefront.
>>58329853250 sorties in the Morgan gives you << Yo, Buddy >> as a nickname.
>>583251575I'm enjoying as much as any AC but as of Mission 21 I definitely feel AC7 has better, more unique missions.
he's him

>>583299727Haven't unlocked it. I've been waiting on the F-15E to go full in on an attacker.
>>583299608I find the Chandelier worse. Both need the lobby to have decent A2G, but nuggets have an easier time targeting 4 TGTs that disappear sometimes than multiple TGTs, a few of which require tunnel runs.
>>583299608I beat it with two rank 1 babs on the team. Skill issue.

He genuinely wanted them to succeed and become a symbol of hope for the world.Not to get too YouTube Video Essayist but it kind of reminds me of the relationship between publishers and developers. You have the suits who don't give a shit, all they care about is getting as much money as possible, and then you have the artists who are putting their heart and soul into something.
>>583275502cuz fuck the brits. harrier is the only cool jet u guys got so PA teases u with it as a joke
>>583303559I haven't seen that many people asking for a new squadron and I don't know how active the current one exactly is.
>>583302382Its great for ground targets, which is what that mission is focused on. Not his fault they can't pick their SPW and just go for whichever one has two ground slots open. It's why I'll never buy the anti-air missiles on the F-35C until I 100% everything else, just too convenient to have them pop into 3x of it during ground missions and disperse/spw while I wipe the skies clear.
>>583303903The avro vulcan is cool as fuck, you PLEB.

>>583272202I've never been angrier in an Ace Combat game. He could've executed an entire orphanage and it wouldn't have elicited as strong of a digust reaction from me. It's the one thing you don't do, the one thing your wingman might (rightfully) shack you for. Utterly vile cretin, worth less thought than a merc dog in a rustbucket.
>>583272202>>583305170>th-that's a warcrime!shouldn't have got shot down buddy
>>583304282be a wilderness survival tool
>>583305170I remember an American WWII pilot talking about seeing a German pilot doing that and shooting him down. After he bailed out he turned him into swiss fucking cheese.
>>583305376i took great pleasure in killing the trainee squad's impromptu escorts and then picking them off one by onethe idea that 11 and 22 were listening in on the comms as their next generation were reduced to prey gave me an erection

I'm having problem at getting this medal in the megafloat missionI tried to only focus on fuel trucks and gas canisters and i'm pretty sure i got them all, but still no medal.Anything else i'm missing?
>>583305376That man absolutely earned his death.

How much of a nolifer do you have to be to have the raptor unlocked already
>>583305937Can't you get that just by fragging the pillars?
>>583303974Your wingmen can pick SP.Ws you haven't bought yet
>>583306173>fishbed with the sotoan flagevilchads rise up
>This is*Railgun warning*Wings of Theve FM*Missile warning*Where we play nothing but*ammunition zero*Rock*Stall warning*And more ROCK>*"Times are Changing" starts playing*
>>583306048There's something so uniquely brutal and gruesome about that Manga/OVA/Show and it makes it really unique. I just can't think of anything that truly approaches it in terms of airplane nerd media. Even the Darker Ace combats or Project Wingman doesn't really get there and Top gun would NEVER. I kind of want a fucked up game with Area's 88's vibes and nihilistic atmosphere and tone though.
>>583306216Oh shit, so they always equip both ground sp.w for the F35? That's fucked up.
>>583306195Yeah and if you use SFFS it all comes down pretty quickly
Why is a paratrooper in a chute a valid target, but a bailed out pilot in a chute is a no go?
>>583306218Evil Migga
>>583306438One is part of an active attacking force, the other is hors de combat.
>>583306280It's hard to think of anything that comes close in realistic brutality in all anime. The only one that comes to mind is the original Legend of Galactic Heroes.
>>583305937If you go straight to the megafloat You'll see 2 oil tankers a little bit to the left o the first arm you reach, take those 2 at the same time.
Can you get Moon 11's SU-47 skin in the game?
The Sotoa-Usea war killed twice as many people as Ulysses (500,000 from Ulysses impact and 1,000,000 from Sotoa's invasion)So Sotoa was literally worse for Usea than an extinction level asteroid
>>583306048I still dont get why we never got a Flogger in any of the games
>the only anti-g suit is the phoenix oneThey really fucked up with the cosmetics.
>>583306805truly, these nomads are worse than belkans.
>>583306885>no Air Force winter dress uniformsSucks.
>>583307048Yea, some formal dress would've been cool too. Hope they add more later.

>>583307048The next pass season starts in December, would be cool if they changed the airbase to be snowy and added some winter clothes
>>583306796Yes, I don't know how it unlocks though
>>583306195>>583306424>>583306757Tried another 2 times and didn't work.You can pick up those medals in free missions right?
>>583265867But the story was made written by a best selling NYT author!
>>583305170Really wish him and the psycho bitch got good seething deaths like the AC7 DLC villains. Tired of bosses going down Sephiroth posting instead of screaming hate at me
>>583305549My nigga, death to Satoa
>>583306805>1,000,000 from Sotoa's invasionVery rarely has a game made me actively genocidal
>>583308986>even Crimson 1 got to go out Sephirothposting after yelling his head off at you for the entire fight
During AC infinity we had a Clover Squadron on /v/, we we have an /acg/ squadron?
