https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lah3DiSlhMThis is the only good track from Ace Combat 8.
I'm deliberately taking my time with AC8 (at most two missions per session) cause I don't want to be done with it too quickly. But once I've beat it I won't really have anything to look forward in vidya. Grim.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heKkXG2aEV8this dad rock is so embarrassingwhat the fuck were they thinking putting this in the soundtrack
>>583407940Anyone who refuses to shoot the enemy because they're his own countrymen and you don't care if they're acting like a bunch of Israelis makes you an asshole imo
>it's another MiG 31 takes MVP despite it being a ground attack focused mission episodeI'm going to have a fucking aneurysm this motherfucker had 50k points
Playing AC4 right after AC8 and man this is weird, not having G-turn and flares is giving me phantom limb pain. Also it feels slow as fuck, so far I prefer AC3
Imagine caring about multiplayer in ace combatLiterally couldn't be me
>>583408357Bring a Tomcat and do the same thing
>>583408357Air targets are disproportionately more valuable then ground targets and it makes no sense. One grouping of F-16s is like a full quarter of the map's worth of ground targets>>583408172As far as I'm aware anyway I know there's only so many places you *can* make launch sites but it's funny there's apparently no alternative to Comona
Does AC online get better in terms of COOP missions? The missions currently feel too quick and pretty shit when everything dies from everyone else before you get to do anything.
>>5834084195 and 0 are better than 4 in every single aspect of gameplay.At this point literally the only thing 4 has going for it is the story and narrative style
>>583408453No
>>583408607It does not
>>583408357>>583408513>get top score in a mirage with ugbs>only because it was the mission with enemy aircraft taking off a runway and got half of my points from bombing planes
>>583408610AC style was formed so perfectly since the very first game that no game is really bad so I'm still enjoying it but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised at how much more I liked a PS1 game over it. I think AC4 probably had 'first new gen game' issues to sort out I guess
I both resent and envy newfags to the seriesBecause they're experiencing AC for the first time, but can't relate to the pain of waiting a billion years for each new entry to the series
>>583408776im gonna drop it then, thanks for the reply
https://x.com/cutlas01_wise/status/2106784686521655743No way it's that violent in reality I thought they're just empty cans
>>583407936my point isnt that im guessingmy point is>does nothing all game>does nothing in her time>suddenly cope even though shes arguably lost people more meaningful to herits fucking stupid and makes no sense
Maybe this will teach him to AFK while doing pushups.
>>583408906AC3 overshadows AC2 but I really like that too, I'd love AC1 if you could mod that voiceover cunt out of the game.
After clearing Ace and redoing some missions for assault records and medals I have got to say that m25 might be the hardest, or at least the most frustrating. Its really long, feels like the whole map is trying to kill you, has an ace fight, RAILGUN WARNING and even emotional damage from the Savian mercs and Tasha's meltdown.
>>583409263>more have joined
>>583408963Shame the series is scattered all over the place
Holy SHIT I love jet aircraft. Propeller planes are cool I guess but ain't literally nothing cooler than a fucking jet.
On mission 7, when does the story get good?
>difficulty level 1>difficulty level 2how many are there? how do I unlock them? do they give better rewards?
>>583409151To be more detailed, LAAM slingers maul like every target in 40 seconds and there's only a handful of ground pounders that're viable.Not that it matters, whoever sweeps the skies first basically wins the match with how much more planes are worth points-wise
>>583409226It feels like both the story and the translation stopped making sense for a while around that point. Like Tasha says things that no human would say and acts like Tasha wouldn't.
>>5834086104 has better gameplay than 5
>>583409263>>583409467Lobby shitposting seems to be the most fun you can have with ACO right now
>>583409474Tanks
>>583409607It's all I can do as a Linux gamer...
>>583409607It's always fun. Unfortunately I can't be fucked waiting for this guy to get back for another 10 minutes so I won't get to see his reaction
>>583409570It fucking doesn't. Go play it right now. Nostalgia blinds you.
>>583409478For the last several entries I just settle for "good enough" and am happy to be in the skies again.
>>583409570Is it a hot take to say ACX is better than the PS1 and PS2 trilogy gameplay wise
>>583409570lmao no
>>583409226Would make more sense for it to be her to show she's part of the team now.Also she's "Luna 11" because they copied PW's homework and there's a Luna moth
>>583409478>when does the story get good?
>>583409698Just did last week when I prepared for 8
>>583409698NTA but it absolutely does. You're the one blinded by nostalgia. Like a good half of AC5 missions are either "shoot respawning targets while waiting for the mission trigger" or "that mission".
>>583409564yeah the dialogue happening just all feels like non sequiturs at that pointAt least Moon11 has the decency to say the single funniest fucking line in the entire franchise>>583409397>blow up 2 mercs>tee hee yay free points>another 2 on my nuts to take their place and keep bitchin betty telling me MISSILE MISSILE>repeat for 20 some minutes every fucking time i pop the pairif the infinite reinforcement of mercs wasnt a thing that mission would be literally the easiest mission in the gameb but no, between them and the SAMs my nuts are RED and MISSILED
>congratulations, you have maxed your plane>now swap to some level 1 trash you have laying around otherwise you're wasting xpsuch good design
It was just me that even for Ace Combat suspension of disbelief standards, that Megafloat mission felt "too much" ?
>>583409693What if his reaction is to tell you to unload into his mouth
>>583409838>the single funniest fucking line in the entire franchise"I will punish them by guided munition if necessary"?
>>583409570even if that were remotely true im baffled they never tried 5's progression ever againLike how Soul Calibur never tried chronicles of the swortd ever againlike why the fuck not
>>58340957090% of the game is "get 9834502394876509387603294 points in 20 minutes"That's unironically worse gameplay than even 5's dumbest gimmick narrative missionsFuck you
>>583409965what grinding out kill stats to unlock planes? are you nuts bro?
>>583409872What if you like flying the plane and you just want money instead
>>583409885It was an Armored Core level in Ace combat. I fucking loved it
>>583409698I'm not that anon, but I have to agree that I still prefer to replay AC04. 5 and 0 are great as a whole but every time I start a new game and my starter plane is shockingly maneuverable right off the bat it makes me feel like the devs were scared to have people progress through tiers of planes and just wanted that easy arcade feel from the first mission.
>>583409698I've played it earlier this year and it still felt fantastic, meanwhile half of Ace Combat 5 is awful gimmick missions. Go drop bombs on toxic gas and follow a car for 5 minutes
i hate black people
>>583410042I liked it, but come on, 3 planes against that...
>>583409927I will punish them by guided munition if necessary>incredibly autistic thing to say to a country bumpkin>she says that while rolling in in a wheelchair that looks like it cost more than the fucking village>says it incredibly deadpan>all the while baxter does the single worst job at being sneaky and not standing out, in any game, everI couldnt take anything seriously in that cutscene, I imagine thats why people like The Room
>>583409478>>583409724If AC7 was about how drones are changing warfare what is AC8 about? Social media? Because that's a bit on the nose for the current times I think
Does someone know why the game wont let me take screenshots with the nvidia app?
>>583410040the money disparity from winning or losing is so small you might as well double dip even if you throw the match with a shit plane
>>583410034no not the grindiness>shit ton of planes with a bunch of weird options like the F/B-22 and the F-15MTD
>>583409990fuck you nigger, score attack is kino of the highest order
>>583409872Plane XP is really not that important, you need ZOLL and blueprints(which you buy with ZOLL) and pilot levels.
>>583409397Just did it and I agree. Had to use like 4 checkpoints just to get through because they made the Su-47 a brick.
I don't really get the blueprint + Zoll cost if you just need to buy the blueprints anyway since getting them naturally is a complete unicorn. Just merge the costs
>>583410173Buddy, the devs have stated the game is directly inspired by current-day events AKA the Russia-Ukraine war. Someone on social media pretended "Ghost of Kiev" was a thing when the war broke out in clear reference to "Ghosts of Razgriz" and it spread like wildfire online and is MSM. So now you get AC8 a game about non-Kiev getting invaded and "Wings of not-Kiev" is the hero ace pilot that doesn't exist except on social media (at first.)
>>583410263you're gonna have to wonder why 0 didn't reuse all those models but there ain't no way they would redo all of them in HD for 6 or 78 might get them depending on how long it can limp
>>583409990This might be the single worst take ever produced in this general
>>583410343max your top speedif you havent maxed your top speed nothing else matters, all the planes perform badly at their top speed
>>583409990kino
>>583410280No, score attack is literally "we have no clue how to design a mission, so just blow things up for a few minutes lol"
>>583410280BUT THE SCORE ATTACKS IN 4 ARE BORINGTHOSE MISSIONS ARE DEVOID OF ANYTHINGONLY COMBERTH HARBOR IS FUN
>>583410406Bah, two typos in my post, but you get the point. Art inspired real life which inspired art.
I've played like 30 multiplayer matches and have yet to see a scramble or emergency sortiethis system is gay
>>583410141It really is pure unintentional comedy
>>583410520oh no, i have to shoot things in my plane shooting game rather than doing some dumbass gimmick? how horrible
>>583410417im not gonna say they need to redo them but>a bunch of E/D/F/3/4/4234/5634/65346/3/planes is fucking dumb, i would rather deeper campaign upgrades and just give more weapons options per plane than>hornet>hornet but less shit and different weaponsreally? I have to play a literal nerfed shitcan just to use MGPs?Only the flying toilet and Carrier SU are modestly fast AND have UGBL/rockets?meanwhile every late game plane has the LACM or QAAM?lame as shit dude
>>583410173Cryptobros
>>583410174It works for me. Outdated drivers? Outdated app? Certainly not trying it on Linux with nvidia drivers I presume? Make sure you are in fullscreen and not borderless?
>>583410550I actually like Tango Line and even the music
>>583409990>“Wow, so much freedom to engage what I want. I don’t know what to attack first. If only 5 enemies would appear after a preachy Nagase monologue first and then 5 more enemies appear after a Grimm monologue. That way I would know what to do, otherwise I get too overwhelmed by a 20 minute timer and a return line.”KYS retard.
4 is dull but it was still better than 8i want an ace combat game that knows and accepts it is a game, 8 tries way too fucking hard to be a hollywood movie
>>583410617the only time i laughed harder was when>they kill baxter later anyways when he did literally everything to get gunned down in that villageand the only time ive laughed even harder was>JAEGER KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THE SHIT HES GOING TO TELL HIS SON ABOIUT AFTER THE WAR AND DOESNT DIEJaeger literally has super powers
Why is ACO basically an entirely different game from singleplayer?Why do I need to invest like 10 fucking hours grinding ZOLL to unlock all my SPWs?Why do all the planes have like zero upgrade slots compared to SP, leading to people hyper-optimising for a single playstyle?Why are the red ground targets so fucking tanky?Why can a maxxed out lvl 20 Mig-31 with QAAM and LAAM just get paired up with a lobby full of starter F-4s and F-14s?
>>583410173Maybe they're trying bridge the gap to Electrosphere
I'd be more sympathetic to the Sotoan's plight if they didn't directly target an elementary school and the UN building with a satellite weapon. I dunno, I figure your nation could be seen a bit more as victims if you didnt actively do a genocide the second you get cut loose.Hortus Regis Alti is a fuckin banger tho. I'd genocide so many people if that was my marching tune.
>>583410754>Outdated drivers?I'm using drivers from april so that's probably it, I also havent had a single crash so I also don't want to update them
>>583410786>muh monologues Oh I guess this is why AC4 with a plot that doesn't fucking exist is so universally praised by sub 100IQ niggers here for its story.
I just like the games, desuExcept Assault Horizon. Though I admit it would be fun to fuck around with helicopters and bombers again but in a normal AC game.
>>583410841>Why is ACO basically an entirely different game from singleplayer?I mean I'm not sure why you would expect differently, but also the MP is outsourced to another studio so it will feel even more different because of it (the NPC models are so bad looking for example.)
>>583410876whoa this is familiar isn't it
ACX>AC4If ACX was made as a PS2 title it would have a chance of being the best PS2 AC, but being on PSP just clipped its wings.
>>583410841>Why is ACO basically an entirely different game from singleplayer?did you not see the BAMCO meddling that made Tekken 7 a repulsive nightmare
>>583410876>>583411006I wonder which nation is being referenced in this fictional video game :^)
Hello, I'm the Morganigger on your team.I see you are playing a slow attacker plane, throughout this match I will proceed to fly on top of you and make sure to MPBM every target cluster you are aiming at, insuring neither of us score well this match and the enemy gets a free pick of targets by spreading out because unlike me, they have at least one functioning braincell and parents that weren't inbred.Have a nice day and see you next match.
>>583411037Make X the port for the next AC game pls PA, kthnxbye
>>583410936that shit with the prowler couldve made for a cool redux of the old bomber mission
>>583410919oh yes i love to sit through ten hours of melodrama before i can engage the enemy with my twelve (12) missiles because lol lmao.
>broo AC4 is so good broo>Yellows are immortal in LifelineFuck off.
>still lost MVP to a guy in an F-14 with LAAMs
i like 0 and 6 the most :)
>>583410991Idk man, I understand MP progression being different but why do all the planes have wildly different stats from their SP counterparts even with zero parts? Surely it's not for balance reasons since there's an even bigger gap in MP than there is in SP. Why are there a bunch of extra MP exclusive gimmicks like attackers needing 20 missiles to kill a single plane?>>583411068I don't play fightan so I'm not aware.
>>583411127Sotoa barely move the needle compared to what I've seen said nation do on social media the last two fucking years and they've bombed a continent with a space laser
>>583410173probably less social media and more like how much the zeitgeist and one's perspective could be warped and abused for nefarious means, especially with third-parties fanning the flames. sotoans drank the kool-aid more than anyone else the most despite probably having an insular propaganda machine that likely banned all foreign social media, and the narrative puts a particular focus on how much of a retarder larper tewy and was near the end. they could have done it more gracefully too, naturally since its AC
>>583411259and thats okay :)
>>583411189>listening to some dumb orphaned nigger sobstory for the whole game is sooooo goodNow lets hear your opinion on AC8.
>>583411301The reasoning obviously would be for balance, but the reasoning is separate from the execution of said balance. Seems like they fucked it up. There will inevitably be a billion patches though.
>>583411301>Why are there a bunch of extra MP exclusive gimmicks like attackers needing 20 missiles to kill a single plane?This was a balance thing in Infinity as well. Fighters do diddly shit to Ground targetsAt least, in theory.
>>583411357at least with 4 and 8 you can skip through the cutscenes if you don't wanna watch them, rather than having to fly around aimlessly for 20 minutes! (apart from some bits of 8)
>>583411220>game is called ACE COMBAT>gets mad when the guy that combats aces wins
>>583411443>>583411463>it's for balance>but also, you can just take a fully maxxed out superplane into any match, there are no restrictionsYeah, OK. I do not believe this is something you can "miss". Clearly balance was not a thing they wanted.
>>583410841To milk more playtime and money, except they forgot to make it funThey really had a potential to make something special, a small selection of Ace Combat's greatest hits that you can either select (and play in a private lobby with friends) or queue up for a random mission with the same aircraft tree as singleplayer and it would've been peakHell, you could still monetize it by selling extra missions as DLC, I'm sure people would pay to play a reimagining of Mayhem with a friend
if you hit moon11 before she hits 90% mental load you can save baxter
>>583410919I bet you unironically think “WE’LL RETURN TO HAUNT YOU FOR ETERNITY! ARRRGGHH!” is great writing.
>>583411613superplanes are shit and get outclassed by properly leveled standard planes, they're pubstompers
>>583411613Hypothetically the Cost system is supposed to balance that but then they didn't add Cost-based matching because lol, lmao
>>583411463Infinity also had some exceptions if you knew how to find them. For example I used the F-2A in the /aceg/ lobbies because it was an attacker that once upgraded became on tier with multiroles for air dominance. Used to get first consistently unless Precisionista was in the lobbyNow it's just fighter dominance since they don't do that much less damage than your typical attacker
>every match is just wasted XP after a plane hits 20. Don't they still give you those crates with XP in them
>>583411519Most of the time. There’s still a lot of waiting around for dialogue in AC8. Mission 26 having that unskippable Moon 11 attack against the ships you just have to sit through for five minutes because it’s in game and not a cutscene.
>>583411694No but I appreciate having any semblance of coherent plot and narration instead of uhhhh go blow up thing so thing happens so you blow up more things uhhh oh young erusean officers stole a superweapon lmao while some stupid fucking faggot is telling me about his hard life and Yellow 13 who has less personality than your average grunt with one line on the comms.
just finished AC8 and holy shit, this is what AC7 should have been. It feels like a remix of all AC games, copying even the negative things from AH. For all the people saying mission 15 and mission 28 are too hard, git gud, those missions were pretty fun. And I haven't got any technical issues except for extreme framedrops near explosions.
What's worse, Oops! All Morgans! or Nothing But MiGgers?
>>583411727The EA-36 is a fucking godmode craft and you will not gaslight me into thinking it's just a pubstomper. And it fucking starts with IEWS unlike, say, the EA-6G which needs lvl 20 for ESM.>>583411727So what even is the point of having costs? What do they even do?
>>583411519Speaking of, when fighting Moon11 do I need to wait for her to say everything and get mentally burnt out or can you clip her asap
>>583411930The fact they didn't enable Linux support in EAC.
>>583411920>I appreciate any semblance of coherent plotGreat! So you're not a fan of 5's retardation then?
>>583411301>I don't play fightan so I'm not aware.>game comes out>game has MTX up the ass and a battle pass>was not advertised at all, they literally implemented it two days after launch without warning
>>5834122465s plot is more coherent than whatever the fuck happens in 8 and 4 has no fucking plot to speak of.
Remember when they blocked streamers from streaming or even discussing the first four missions because there were spoilers that would completely ruin the public's enjoyment of the story? What exactly were the spoilers or major plot things that we weren't allowed to learn in advance exactly?
>>583412342Aw, did little baby fall alseep instead of watching the cutscenes and briefings? Don't worry, we have your wingmen here to preach at you in an empty sandbox so you don't get bored!
>>583412342>than whatever the fuck happens in 8what is so difficult to understand about 8's plot?
>>583412410japanese corpo ego ritual where they have to remind the common people that their company has the same rights as them
>>583411694>“WE’LL RETURN TO HAUNT YOU FOR ETERNITY! ARRRGGHH!”>that could be real since fighter pilot valhalla ghosts are real now
>>583412791>tfw Ace Combat 9 is set in the Ace Valhalla which is just endless B7R strategic airspace where pilots perform for all eternity
>>583411920>Yellow 13 supposedly has less personality than the Grey Men/8492.Not my fault you cannot infer the existence of 13’s personality from the very story you claim doesn’t exist. You have the narrator’s view and you engage 13 in combat. But I must be mistaken as personality clearly only exists when you have lots of edgy radio chatter from Belkans spouting one liners or otherwise it’s just too hard to grasp.
>>583412676Nothing. He's being intentionally retarded.
>>583412907I'd play it
/aceg/ if it wasn't full of retards. Come on man I've played Monster Hunter Helldivers etcetera with /vg/ people stop fucking the dog here get it together.
>>583412676>Cope's whole existence >switch from Cope being shat on to everyone sucking his balls >Tasha spergout(not the Kate one)>Rio Bajo>Everything regarding Cosette
>>583411443>He thinks they're gonna patch this gamelolelmaoe
ACO is a 2/10 dogshit F2P unbalanced grindfest stapled onto a 9/10 singleplayer game. I hope they didn't waste too much dev time making it.>>583413145Is that from a bunch of people swapping out parties to feed one guy a bunch of scrambles?
>>583408146Just farm the previous mission in free select mode upon completion to go for the S ranks and extra MSRP. You're gonna need a few farm runs to gear up for the mid-campaign missions around mission 15 and beyond wherein the stock F-18C begins to feel ineffective
>>583413038>engage 13 in combat>when he doesn't say shit on the radio>is just one of the nameless Yellows you will down during the missionlmao
>>583409474I've been stuck in this thing for half the game because I keep ending missions with like 50 MRP less than I need to buy a new jet.
>equip wingmen with ECM planes>command them to use SP weaponshow have i not thought of this until now? i'm fucking stupid
What if the next game is AC3 but it's nothing like Nemo predicted
>>583412791Don’t. Some internet autist somewhere will start typing an Ace Combat: The Heaven and Hell War fanfic.It’ll be cringier than the dorks that used to larp on the YouTube comments for Ace Combat soundtrack uploads.
>>583413145I'm sure that server has players in the thousands rather than the handful of people playing at any given time here.
>>583413307>i can't enjoy a good old dogfight without the other guy screaming at me over open comms for some reason
thoughts on HPAAs?
>>583413376Nemo will show up and try to course correct to one of the routes by trying to take out (You) and will turn into a recurring fight throughout the game, by the end Nemo won't give a shit about it since all Nemo will want to do is kill (You)
>>583412907this except its just an mp lobby full of metafaggots
How often did ACI get updates?
>>583413526the women are cutethe men dont look right
>>583413470>good old dogfight>when you won't even know you were dogfighting himAC4 glazers are really something else
>>583413307>“Whuh, huh, where’s 13? I don’t understand. He can’t be here because he doesn’t have a specific label on my HUD and he isn’t transmitting one-liners on the radio.”
>>583413417Cope.You're just retards that don't know how to play with people. A full squadron and not even 2-4 guys together.
>>583413710uh yeah? that would obviously be really gay
>>583413526not LAAM who cares
>>583411923>hes only just now playinghey dumbass this game ran like absolute nuts on day 1, and genuinely runs like absolute ass on a "works on my machine basis" because thats just how UE5 slop bealso if it wasnt evident by the amount of bitching>the online service is a fuckin dogthis is hands down the buggiest launch of any AC everand yes 7 is a mostly better experience than 8, at least in 7 you dont have planes inexplicably being shit because>low/early planes natty do less damage and cant be upgraded to fly meaningfully fastermeanwhile>uber planes can be upgraded to BTFO everything way harder than early planesits a fucking mess
>>583413693>you can infer 13's personality from the combat>ACKHUALLY IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE DOESN'T SPEAKYou are so fucking retarded it's not even funny. AC4 is the WORST PS2 AC.
>>583413659That actually fits the tone of the game, the only issue with that mission update is that it keeps playing Farbanti music instead of playing Aquila for one final time
>>583413659It's called 'The Holy Trinity' for a reason, all 3 games are glazed anon
>>583413710What does that have to do with playing constant emergency sorties and scrambles? There's not enough people to do that regularly. I just spent like 2 hours playing with people from the squadron, retard.
>>583413890Favorite PS2 AC?
>>583413710So what, you just want some good little cucks to grind solo so they can alert the entire server when they pop a scramble or emergency sortie?
>>583413145Sorry NIGGER we're too busy having a melty over which anime bullshit game is the least anime bullshit
>>583413838I played it before launch, it ran pretty well even back then. But they did screw up the online launch tho.
>>583413930The only reason 5 is glazed and part of the trinity is because it's between two genuinely fantastic games. It's worse than AC 2, 3, 4, 0, X, 6, 7 and 8
>>583413998Zero
>Big corpo is exposed for starting a war>Only ten years later, megacorps show up, gain massive power in every aspect, and take over Strangereal.The fuck happened? No way that happens in just 10 years from now.
>>583414105did you miss the 4-5 lines from the military/civvies being tired of dying because people drew lines on a map?
>>583414105remember, 2040 ac3 was taking place in a simulation, who knows what the real 2040 looks like
>>583413151its not even that the plot is difficult to understandIts that half the examples you gave are a case of the characters inexplicably going from zero to moodswing at the drop of a hat
>>583414096I think you fatfingered your keyboard and typed 5 instead of 4.
>>583414096Are 6, 7 and 8 not a superior trinity at this point
>>583414105it can because Usea ends up weakened and fragmented, making it easier to enforce corpo rule. In fact, I called that this would be the endgame and how it would prepare the ground for AC3 before the game launched, and I was right.
>>583414194Now they die for their corpo masters!
5 is good, amazing evenbut its the worst on replays, the worst to get all aces, the worst to S rank
>>583413364you probably didnt think it would work like an on/off switchthe real question is why the fuck it works as an immediate off switch
>>583414105The ending to AC8 says it'll take 15 fucking years to even recover from the war, Strangereal is fucked up
>>5834142624/5/0 still win out IMO.6 holds a new trinity back
>>583414096It's not like 5 is a bad game, but it gets compared to 4 and 0 which makes it look worse by comparison. Ace Combat doesn't really have any bad mainline entries. >>5834142624, 5, and 0 are lumped together as a trinity because they were all released on PS2 within the span of like 5 years.
Why can the Mig-31 TURNFIGHT. Its entire thing is going fast and being obese. LAAMspam wouldn't be as bad if when i got up on them with a SU-33 or whatever id have them dead to fucking rights. But no they for some reason have the maneuverability of sukhois.
>>583413710If you do this fairly you're, at best, getting 3x the scrambles and emergency sorties than you do playing solo. Less because it's never going to line up perfectly. To get nearly constant scrambles and sorties you're going to need mules who just spam matches for server queens who only join once someone popped a scramble/sortie.
>>583414390Imagine growing up as a Sotoan in that after period, it'd be like post war German guilt after WW2 but worse
>>583414105>and take over Strangerealonly Usea becomes a corpo hellscape. Osea and Yuktobania are probably fine
>>583414390The FCU is fucked up more than anything. But if they do move into the setting of AC3. It feels like they are going to pit what is left of the traditional nations vs the corpos.
>>583414545>implying German guilt is real and not a cover to infiltrate other governments to start bullshit wars for vengeance
>>5834142626 shouldn't really be bundled together with 7 and 8, but if Ace Combat 9 is released in the next few years and actually delivers then 7/8/9 could become the new holy trinity
>>583414518A lot of planes can turn way sharper than they should really be able to.
So, that ending text wall basically leaves it open... are they gonna do another spinoff, or an Ace Combat 3 remake?
GTX 1060fag trying to force the game to run, i think it flat-out does not support Pascal architecture GPU's, even if i force-disable RT and slam the settings as low as they'll go. oh well, i'll probably just refund it and buy it for a friend with a better PC and force him to stream it for me.
>>583414706Good lord what the fuck is their problem
>>583414882germans have a genetic disposition towards bringing europe into chaos for no reason, belka is that but on a global scale
>>583414754Would the G-force of the stuff S22 does in AC8 really knock you unconscious
>>583414262no? 6 is a short gimmick run with a dogshit story. 7 is a barely stitched together game that somehow managed to be better than 6, and 8 is just 7 reloaded.I call it the stinky poopy-poo trilogy.
>>583414754I get that, but the Mig-31s entire identity was being a fuckin rocketplane.
>>583414882>Lost a war they started >Get mad about it>Nuke themselves to stop their enemies from beating them first
>>583414998They would shear the wings off of the plane on the first attempt, if it's one of the high speed turns and not a kulbit.
>Midway point update aircraft can and will shit out infinite numbers of flares if you're close>But they won't if you shoot LAAMs at them from max range :^)Who designed this
>>583414804Nvidia dropped driver support for Pascal a while ago, what the fuck are you doing man? That gen is 10 years old now.
>>583414545Does your average Sotoan even feel responsible? Even if it's called a republic the country seems to be controlled by ex-chieftains and warlords who LARP as honest-to-god poor sheep herders while sending all of the actual sheep herders to slaughter
>>583414804Dude, the time to upgrade was forever ago. You're own fault for not.
>>583414998Yes lol, on top of ripping the plane apart. >>583415031Yea, I now. It's not a problem exclusive to the Mig-31. I remember reading in a previous thread that the maneuverability parts are scaling incorrectly or something? I dunno. I'm getting kinda tired of seeing them though.
>>583409618Awfully quiet anon
>>583414804>6GB VRAMno shit
>>583415212>>Yes lol, on top of ripping the plane apart.Not a bad way to go, I imagine you just black out, it's if you survive it that makes it hurt, if Mihaly being helped out of his plane in AC7 is anything to go by
>>583415212i think its the most aggregious with the mig 31 because of its absurd speed stat. Being fast and being able to turn means that even engaging them makes them unable to be killed because they can just turn and burn. Only counter is Morgan which is another problem.
>>583415343If the plane breaks apart then the g's will only last for a few seconds, so you'd probably live, but the question is if you would wake up to eject or if you did, if you would have a broken back or something.
>>583415156Does the average citizen in any war really ever feel responsible unless they get browbeaten over it like the krauts?
Admit it guys, giving the wingmen a certain jet, telling to use SP and watching red marks disappear off the map is strangely satisfying isn't it
>>583410173Social media is used as a vehicle for:>Communication>Manipulation>Lies and truth>Unity>HopeIt's an examination of the real world Ghost of Kyiv story from different angles and what it says about modern times
>>583414804>10xxThey are probably dropping support for 16xx next year. What are you doing my negev?
>>583415589ngl I really like both the Drone story in AC7 and this in AC8 and think they both deserve more credit
>>583415568and by a certain jet, haha, well I mean my peenus weenus of course!
>>583415589ghost of kiev lasted barely a week before it was out of the collective zeitgeist
>>583414310Probably better to die for national pride and your country than some utterly soulless corporations whose only gain is profits.
someone explain why the phrase "gonna get water" and "going to get water" are banned phrases in AC Online
>>583415782And I think that will be a big thing in the next AC8. Isn't that right, buddy?
How the fuck do you dodge Luna 11's railgun where they fly super far away and snipe at you?Trying to get close just gets you one shot and even if you break away they'll still usually graze you with a few shots. I don't have the fire extinguisher here to regen health.
>>583415589Did you get this idea from AI lmao
>>583416004>Go parallel>Afterburn>???>ProfitI dunno man just dodge
>>583415887The citizens of Strangereal have a very serious decision they need to make. Even though a lot evidence was destroyed and red tape is everywhere covering Enso Order's role in the war. There should be just enough belief in a corporate takeover of nations that the the people of Strangereal won't let it happen.
>>583416124Does her skin actually use cyrillics?
>>583409494hello???
>>583416004have you never fought the Morgan or Archange before?>if they fly away from youthen you need to burn after them, fire missiles when youre in range, and hard stick ASAPTHat fight is going to be 85% afterburners, nearly 0% high G turns
I don't get it. Did they mention Yuktobania was fighting a war against Sotoa as they were getting invaded by Osea 20 years ago?
>>583416276it does
Shadow Wizard Money Gangwe love casting magic missilesthis song is sponsored bythe Enso Order government>my blue sky home starts playing
>>583416452Cool.
>>583416276can confirm the vanilla E/A 18 skin has "yuke" on it
Yeah alright that's enough of the online I think. It's getting mind numbing watching every match play out with the same planes in exactly the same way
>>583416412Sotoan lands were already fucked so probably they tried to attack Yuktobania while it was distracted and it would be very funny if they just got bitchslapped by whatever the Yukes kept in reserve
>>583416620metaniggers ruin every game they touch
The DLCs will have you play as a Sotoan pilot participating in the missions set prior to the events of AC8.
>my squad's total score was 57ki really want to kill these 'people'
>scramble>some nigga bring f2 with lasmFucking why
>>583416620>>583416721It should be the job of the designers to make missions that are more involved and where the same stupid shit isn't optimal every timeThe players will always optimize the fun out of a gameI don't see ACO getting the kind of loves it needs but it would be cool if they made private lobbies and have superweapon missions accessible at all times so people can just enjoy those parts with their buddies
>>583417319Oh no this absolutely isn't getting any amount of support beyond slopping out new BPs. This game is fucked
>>583417032a flight lead brings the best out of his fellow wings and does not tear them down
>>583414545You're implying I'm leaving even a single Sotoan alive after the bullshit they've pulled.
>ground pounder mission>all wingmen and myself have a anti ground so weapon>DURR THIS ISN'T A GOOD SET FOR A GROUND ASSAULT ????
>>583417727Jenkins was calling you poor, I guess.
!
>>583415784Anti-Sotoan terminology. Like making fun of Oseans for eating hot dogs
>squadron already full
>>583417085>literally megomen, I need levels
>>583416276here you go, guy
Snoys never played AC6 so they fail Chandelier on me wow
>>583413526good for campaign-esque stationary air beefcake targets and not much else
>>583417781Elden Ring NPC lookin ass
>>583417880Sorry >>583268589
>>583417810I hate this performative fuck like you won't believe.The guy used the AC fanbase to trend and get a following and abandoned all the other soundtracks (AC4/5/0 et al) in favor of more popular games like Genshin.Now that he's falling off he comes crawling back
>The doomerism for OnlineAm I missing something or did Infinity not get patched pretty quickly for the more obvious flaws
>>583417901>nooooo you have to help me clear the mission on my termsdont worry its the dev's fault not yours>>583417319devs understandably have zero experience implementing COOP mechanics and designs
>>583417936Cool. Tanks.
So is the last guy in the shadow squads programmed to die by smashing face first into my missiles after giving me the run-around for 5 minutes or are mine just particularly stupid
So did Osea finally decide that Usea wasn't worth it after being drawn into 1, 2, 3, 4 seperate conflicts? Just "Hey Usea, I see you're being actively genocide in a way that Sotoa isn't even hiding it. Good luck buddies!"
>>583418221No one cares about Osea.
>expired Cold Weather MREsSomeone in the devs been watching Steve
>>583418094it being in a shit state right now has zero bearing on/meaning on the game being genuinely unfun and unrewardingon a>progression>monetized>play formatlevelbasically its fundamentally shit in so many ways it doesnt excuse the fact that this was not a fun weekend to try and play "ace combat online"
>>583418221Erusia throws a tantrum whenever someone acts militarily in Usea, so yea.
twice I've faced the chandelier, and twice my team has been absolute dogshitcan I invite you guys when I get a emergency sortie?how?
is this worth it?
>>583418282if i crack open a land battleship, will it hiss?
>>583418074I think he just liked 7's music and not much else, which is valid, I guess. My fav osts would be 0, 3 and 7 with some sprinkles of 5
>>583418509I was there when he was forced by his AC fans on Patreon to listen to Unsung War.He literally is just a performative fuck.
Saw someone parachuting mid combat on a campaign mission.Will the game let me commit war crimes and gun them down?
>>583418221Maybe I missed something but where the FUCK was the IUN-PKF? They'll stand up to Erusea for droning some ports but won't do anything for genocide?
>>583418435>Doesn't sling LAAMswho cares
>>583418435to my knowledge we get no middle ground>all planes stay shit or become godly with no middle ground in SPmeanwhile in MP>if you max out a plane regardless of how it will be it will be normalized to be incredible at max rankso basically if you like it>yes its worth it>>583418509As someone who played 5/Zero/6/AH/7/8. watching people who are new to the game play is teeth gritting when they complain.You cant fault people for not being able to get into Ace Combat, but i mean, their loss i guess
How the fuck do you S Rank 28?
>>583418653The UN was centered around Expo City and got a direct kinetic strike. Probably why the NUN and UPEO got formed right after the events of this game
>>583418660My tierlist so far>S tier (as in really fucking good in general)LAAMQAAMSAAMRKTUGBLLACM>Everything else including MGPAight>everything else but its designed to target multiple pinpoint targets at onceirredeemable shit
>>583418974>>everything else but its designed to target multiple pinpoint targets at onceI still remember 6AAM being great in AC7
>>583418435The F-16 is very good
>>583418653the Sotoans are based on Iran. So the UN is nowhere to be found when they fuck shit up since it's punching downlike real Iran
>>583418221More that Yukes would've intervened this time and Osea doesn't want that fight. Both sides left the Circum-Pacific war thinking>oh shit, that guy CAN fightand Yukes were already criticizing Osea about the space elevator being built in Usea. Interventionism from both was exactly what Enso wanted, anyway.
>>583418815Big ass score?>Go north, sweep the entire line/initial wave by working your way down the formation>by the time you hit south wipe that too (the super sonic bombers)>3 pronged attack should come in, thats right around when tasha has her foid moment> blow up one of the prongs ans you should be essentially on top of the air base>land>do the rest of the mission and blow up the F-35 ace that should be popping up around trhe time you do everything i said and reload/rearm>by the time kate shows up you should eitehr have finished the score requirements or be 1-3 planes away from finishing>do your best vs the shadow squad loland then hopefully youll have ACEI should say my first clear was a B, and my 2nd clear the only thing i changed was when/how many times i reloaded, and basically the difference between 1 landing and 2 landings is A and S

Why does the dumb Ace Pass keeping telling me there's something there when I haven't unlocked anything
>>583419556>>583419556Because this shit isn't well made.
>>583419556Every single aspect of Online is shit
>>583419283>I should say my first clear was a Bsame>basically the difference between 1 landing and 2 landings is A and SWait so the rank is refuel-based? I abused the fuck out of the reload so I think that might've been the reason, I got like 111k+ score so I don't think that's the reason
>watching laamss have better tracking than an actively locked and guided saam>spending an entire sortie flying at targets that explode before i can even lock onto them even with saamsi'm so fucking bored man. i need to just say fuck a2a entirely and just focus on ground targets because i'm actually allowed to shoot at them.
>>583419556It's the worst. Just keep ignoring it until you actually see an Ace Pass Level Up box on your end screen.
>>583419556It counts as a change in the battle pass every time you earn xp, even if it doesn't unlock a new rank.They're incompetent.
>>583417969No sense in a 2nd, will wait for purge.
>>583419827I got a 126k score and still didn't get an S rank.
>>583419895Then you'll be cursed by Morgans or higher-leveled planes eating your ground targets before you.
>>583419895You will not be allowed to shoot at those either if there's a single Fullback or Euro dorito in your lobby
>>583420000Yeah, must be landing related then, man this mission is way too long to be conserving ammos like this
>>583420020>>583420034this shit fucking sucks there's not enough stuff to blow up
>>583420034>>583420020Fuck this gay ass game. I wish I could refund it between this, the poor performance, and crashing constantly.
>>583420112My cope is that they'll add a 4-man mode because that does genuinely feel better but I highly doubt it
>final objective of mission 30Did they actually play test this game, at all?
>>583419827>>583420000yeah i definitely had like a soft "i possibly falselely remember this being a thing" moment and restricted myself to 1 reload, down from 2 and thats how i got my S the second time
>>583420278Should have ended on 29
>>583420278>hold down guns and fly slow behind it>waaaah I can't do it
>>583420278Fly slow behind it and spam your guns/missiles, it's basically a lightning round version of the SOLG with no threats
>>583420278>>583420409I assume it's because they forgot about THAT plot point and needing to wrap it up
>>583420076nah you get full credit for collateral bomber collisionsif you use your gun you should be something like 50-70% out of gun ammo by the time youve blown up the first wave of bombersEssentially by the time Kate shows up and says "bet 82k score" you should be down to only hunting>red targets for the high value>Super Red targets for even higher valuetheyre so maneuverable but totally worth the effort to tail and missile down, but basically you should have ~80% missiels and guns and 100% of your SP weapon ammo when the shadows appearBasically if you dont have 100% of the score requirement by the time you need to reload, you fucked up and need a better plane
>>583420409>>583420463>hold down guns and fly slow behind it>cycle missiles to spam them out as high as is numerically possible>still fail because the HP bloat is insane
>tfw first play through S ranked nearly every mission on Elite>Besides the fuck-ass bomber boss fight with a B because I was not prepared for that shitI feel like I played a different game then most people when I hear complaints
>>583420623Most of the people who had a normal experience aren't really posting about it, unlike the genuine mongoloids bitching about the campaign.
Real question, because I still failed to understand the reasoning.What does FCU even planned to do with the Triumphant?>here's a laser-guided KEW with onboard TLS self-defense turret >we will defeat it with....an unmanned cruiser submarine!Uh....huh?
>>583418094missions are too quick, not challenging beyond the point racing, too samey and the balancing is dogshit i want a 15 minute co-op mission with fail states not a 3 minute co-op PVE race
>>583420623ngl I genuinely think it's a skill issue. I hear people complaining about shit and it sounds like they're playing with their feet.
I've spent 60 hours in multiplayer at this point. I can safely say it's absolute garbage cancer and shouldn't exist.
>>583420750Easier to get under the Rainband then over it, presumably. Easier to get under most of Sotoa's defenses actually.
50 more games from the F-35C... god help me...
I find Moon 11 easier than Shadow 22, at least she respects your missiles
>>583420623>how dare people struggle where i do noti dont normally say this about anons because its lost its meaning, but you might be autisticits true some people are awful at this game, but maybe tips and advice is a better form of discussion than>i think im hot shiti mean, literally go get upset in online if you want to act like a cool sweat lord
>>583420606https://youtu.be/kMIa3IS-zuI?t=1646It may be skill issue, I'm afraid
>>583421032you're that retarded faggot who seethes about mission 15 aren't you lmao
>>583420750With how navy-heavy even the rump FCU is, I imagine pre-war FCU envisioned a submarine supporting their CSGs by spamming Interceptor drones to bulk out the air wings, deploying Swarm drones to act as another of defense for the fleet, and launching cruise missiles for more firepower. Basically just a force multiplier for carrier groups so adversaries didn't know if they were fighting a level 10 goon or level 100 mob boss.
>>583420964im sorry but since when does anyone prefer the F-35 to anythingI dont deny its value in future warfare, But i feel like its always been infererior since Ace combat fucking 5>>583421082some people are genuinely disengenous and 100% dont know how to pull a loop, a barrel roll, or an energy bleed to extend their DPS time
>finally unlocked gripen and su34 in mpare they worth investing in?
pretty happy that 3070 can run on high at 1080pI imagine 32gb ram is more important as long as you have something that can support RT
>>583421187i want to have sex with an F-35C, that's all.
>>58342121334 yesgripen no
>>583421213The Su-34 gets UGBLs which absolutely shit stomps ground targets.
>>583421082I just hit that fucker with the F-35's cruise missiles a few times and it was done for. Also, what's the deal with the weird robotic voice in that mission? I can't make out what it's saying, I assume it's from the submarine.
>>583421213>gripenIt gets LAAMs, right? Those will likely always be meta regardless of nerfs, because sniping is always busyed.>su-34UGBLs are UGBs but bigger boom radius and longer reload. And UGBs are busted already.
How do you go about getting general blueprints? Pay $10 for the pass?

>>583421396the F-22 is also my beloved since AC2unfortunately Shinden II isn't in the game so I can't imagine having sex with it either
>>583421392The AI is crazy!
>>583421249its a fucking UE5 slop japanese gamefor reasons incomprehensible to man your game is either going to run perfectly fine, or unplayably bad with zero middle ground
>>583421378You can get up to 5 a day from scrambles and emergency sorties
>>583420278>>583420463I failed that too on my first try and decided to test a bit.I think you only need to get rid of a few "infinite" hull targets, but it's essential you destroy the remaining ones (whatever is left) in the last 6 or 700 meters.
>>583421326>Also, what's the deal with the weird robotic voice in that mission?I don't think anyone knows at this point.
>>583421587>2026>timegate limited shit>from a fucking ace combat gameholy gay>>583421676if it wasnt obvious to people, the splash damage of homing heavy ground thingies works wonders
>>583421396>chubbyExcuse the fuck you the F-35C is a tight, toned tomboy. She even picked up a nice tan fucking around in the desert.
>>583421349>It gets LAAMs, right?It does, but only when you unlock level 20.
>>583421587So is that like a reward thing or you can only get 5 sorties and scrambles a day?
>>583421187The F-35C in 5 is actually pretty good since it has LASMs and good flight characteristics. Also has a nice alternate livery.
>12 more matches until growlerholy shit this is so mind numbingly boring
>>583422068It also has an internal gun instead of an ugly gun pod
>>583421809>>2026>>timegate limited shit>>from a fucking ace combat game>holy gayWorse even, since it's bullshit RNG to proc those game modes in the first place. And you NEED two, since you only get 3 blueprints per run.>>583421994Reward. A single scramble or sortie only gives you 3, and you max at 5 a day.
>>583422093It doesn't get any more interesting in your support cuck planeESM at level 20 btw, so you're useless in Assault
>>583422167Growler starts with ESM, it's ECM that's locked at 20. So while you can't NO FUN ALLOWED enemies in Warfare you can still boost yourself and allies.
>>583421809>>583421809even if you could lob 20 LACMs you probably can't kill it until the last few meters for the sake of the cutscene that plays immediately after.make sure you're not turning away like I did near the end. killed the enjoyment of the final mission for sure.
>keep matching with the same 7 shitlords in MP with F14's and their sniper SPW

>>583421032I consider myself pretty average at this game, desu
>>583422304meant to quote >>583421676
Legacy Hornet or F-2A for LASM slinging at boats? I imagine the F-18 is a little cheaper but don't know how big the damage discrepancy is for Attacker vs multirole.
>2 minute matches on a huge fucking mapI enjoy spending 30 seconds flying back to the furball

Morgan players have to be the most disgusting sweatiest faggiest retarded niggers ever. Holy shit you shouldn't be able to select more than 1 super plane per team.
wait, does everyone here just hate the MP?

Wait, what? I don't know what this is. Revenge or something?
>>583422708I don't hate it, they just found a way to fuck it up. Standard missiles not hitting anything makes me want to go back to INF restoration
>>583422708Had one game just now where I bombed targets in the F-4E until I had top score. Stared at the radar the whole time so I could run and ping for support when the red doritos started coming towards me. My teammates actually came in and got the guys chasing me, was able to turn around a get a kill too, pretty fun.
I randomly found the suppliesIt was a truck on Waiapolo that appeared randomly when i flew close to ground.Bombed it, pretty sure it refilled the ammo.
>>583422638Different anon but I've had other players disconnect after the cutscene and I could still run an Emergency Sortie afterward.
>>583421118I get it if it's a force multiplier thing, but the briefing make it so that it's the FCU answer to Tonitrus. That part makes no sense.>>583420958But the spear can be guided and Sotoa clearly has no word for danger close?
I feel like the TLS isn't that bad
>>583422998The TLS is broken and works. I say this because thats the only thing morgan players can kill me with and very far away
> The mission where Baxter dies >Cope literally goes "yeah he's not dying"> He fucking dies Cope what the fuck is your deal.
>>583422304theres like 4-6 DPS check enemies whose strats are literally "how could is the player at bleeding energy and doing half 8's to extend attack angles and timingsthe idea that people can brain mash their way to the game just going too fast or too slow and somehow only start having meltys at mission 30 is a bit odd to me ill admit>>583422068i thought it had the (bigger) LACM but im not complaining as i like the LASMs>>583422401>theres layers to this shittrust me the average player is going to smash their head at the gameyour response was basically "works on my machine"which you know, good for you?
>>583423186he was just ______
Please bring back MR and rooms, I'd like to not play with shitters for Alicorn/Chandelier
>>583422708its not that its hatedits that it has zero effort into being>fun>good>feeling rewarding>applying coop>has zero lessons learned from AC7>and is fundamentally/progressionwise completely unrelated to the core game SPECIFICALLY so it can have a player hook monetization strategyLITERALLY everything about it is hateable except for the fact that people just want a good second attempt at "taking online seriously" (after infinity)Oh right dont forget>lmao japanese and online games and severe server connectivity issues
>>583422708It's just badly balanced and the other numerical tuning is off.
>>583420841Yea this is how I feel about it, the last point is really what puts a nail in the coffin. Joining a lobby where multiple people can just nuke multiple targets in a wide area at once just sucks dick even if those people are on your team. It's just boring. PvP is even worse about that.
>>583422708I don't hate it, I just don't see a reason to play it
https://x.com/M_of_HTT/status/2106882546680369637Anytime boats played a big role I took SOD it gets the same bonuses the cluster bombs do. Just park behind them and shoot a missile up the stern, final boss melted too.
>burn out on multiplayer after grinding gunpod memeplanes>not enough 'tism left to grind out 180k to get the growler to 20>still want to play more AC8Guess I'll do my Ace run, with Japanese dub to hear how they sound over there. I know DD sounds more like a slimy car salesman and Cope more tired from the JP prologue video, I hope XO voice grows on me biggest I wasn't the biggest fan on first impression.
>>583422708I like playing it, but bamco completely fucked up the progression system, it's one step away from being mobile gacha shit
>>583423363coming from darktide, party finder is 100% gayits just that the mission format is genuinely retarded and the objective/information feed remarkably poor for people who dont know what the fuck to doOh and theres zero coop elements lol
>>583415784Because Bamco are retards that always put a retarded non-functioning "profanity" filter in their game chat. For example in Soulcalibur VI if you type something like "press the guard button" the whole message gets filtered because it contains "butt" or if you say "my favorite character is Nightmare" you get filtered because you wrote "Nig."Best guess for "gonna get water" and "going to get water" is they are filtering "twat" (the "t" at the end of get separated from "wat" in water by a space.)
>>583423186I actually got baited by that
>>583423186so how come only Cope hangs around but no one else?
>>583423518>just finished campaign. enjoyed myself.>enter thread>"it's one step away from being mobile gacha shit" or western battlepass shithaha.. maybe this is a good place stop. Maybe I'll go for an S clear on ACE or try the Zero port instead.
>>583423739because Cope doesnt fucking make any sense whenever he talks, informs the player, or is brought up by your copilots
>>583422708The balanced is so fucked in a way to make playing it just fucking boring. Matches play out in the same way with the same planes every time
Hey it's that guy from LOST
>>583420076>>583420357Apparently landing isn't a deciding factor for S rank I just watched acfnugget's S rank run on mission 28, and he landed 3 times. Got an S. The solution is to fucking speed run it as fast as possible and destroying all the bombers ASAP, and from there just hitting high point targets like F-35s and F-22s.
What happened to Tasha's dog?
What are your favorite tracks from 8? I just finished it and thought the game overall was great, but I'm realizing I don't remember much of the music aside from the Shadow chanting and the m28 guitar.And is there any way to stop pic related from popping up every time I launch the game? Other than rolling back obviously
>>583424003what happened to him anyway? Zero Hour ends with him being asked to go and support the Wings Of Theve and he never shows up
>>583424027Got jpegd like all dogs in Strangereal do.
>>583420278kek same. I failed that part like 3 timesyou LITERALLY have to be hovering over the sub and start shooting the minute the timer starts ticking. And Cycle missiles/sp. weapons because I failed twice by using just missiles. Like holy fuck they give you no time.
>>583424027The Endurance crew got tired of eating onions burgers
>>583424023there's nothing to speedrun when it's literally just the usual demolition mission but waaaay too long, I wish there's an actual condition list for S rank in the next game if they want to make it this complicated, back then it's just score a certain points and you get your S rank no matter how dogshit you play
>>583424080https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBh9-T4CGRkbest hangarI got the same AyyMD issue I've nignored it and haven't had any hiccups, don't know about getting rid of it.
I still have only gotten one Emergency Sortie ever, and zero Scrambles. I'm on a blacklist or something.
>>583424080https://youtu.be/Q70D8uAjXjU?si=jeUpo9FsxIA372PB
>>583423830The best thing I can say about multiplayer now is that playing it today is most likely going to be a lot better than playing it next week or next month because latecomers are just going to get stomped and not have any fun. The gap between deluxe fags and standard edition fags is already brutal as it is.
>>583423739the theory being thrown around is Newtype shit from GundamEssentially a genetic evolution/mutation (retards) of modern humans that allows Newtypes to talk to each other across space/time/life
There, I did it. It's not the J btw. Got an S rank.
>>583424443There is no reason to play it because they aren't going to fix anything anyway
Finished the campaign and I liked it overall, however holy fuck that has to be the WEAKEST team out of all of the Ace Combat games. The only guy you "kinda" get to know is Baxter.Meanwhile the other two do absolutely FUCKING NOTHING. Coster spends half the game not even looking at you in the Wingman selection, and Tasha just hovers over Coster the entire time. Like holy fucking shit dude, I'm actually ANGRY at how unlikeable my wingmen turned out to be. At least my guy Rex said fuck y'all and rode off into the sunset with Kate.
>Nagase is 23 in AC5 (2010)>So she's 42 or maybe 43 in AC8 (war starts October 31 2029, goes into 2030)>Doesn't appear to have aged a dayWhat's her secret? Was is the space radiation?
>>583422781If you feel good about using them in campaign you'll probably feel good about using them in online. I liked them on the Phantom but I don't know how the F-2's Ground Attack score compares; I think you should be able to blow up groups just as effectively though. Keep in mind online's very tilted towards levels.Add level 1 or 2 blast radius parts and try to pay attention to where enemy clusters are, you'll see the same handful of maps over and over so you'll soon memorize where things spawn. Get as many in the blast circle as possible, no matter where they are inside it the only things that'll survive a bomb are EX AA/SAMs and pillboxes, which you can double tap with missiles before or after. Dump bombs on ships and missiles, and gun them as well; nuggets don't seem to like gunning ships all that much. You may run out of bombs while low level but if you like the F-2 enough there'll come a point where you basically never run out.Just try to focus on getting your score up buddy, it's slim pickings out there with how the current meta's set up.
>>583424508that still doesn't explain how Ray throws away Cope's dogtag without opening the cockpit in the epilogue, this smells more like MGS magic bullshit, type of shit Kojima would write.
>>583424732She's Asian. They never age until 60+ when poof,

>>583424080https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdlXwWqQT90>I don't remember much of the music aside from the Shadow chanting and the m28 guitar.same. most of the music doesn't feel as tailor made for each mission as say, 7 did.but I also attribute it to how thick the radio chatter in this game was and the constant presence of an objective. a double edged sword I guess.
>>5834246621 or 2 more missions and I'll have the F22.
>>583424735UGBs seem to do fuck all damage to ships in online.I don't know if the ships just have 5 gorillion HP or not.
>>583424794They probably just landed lmao. Why are we overthinking this?
I saw that the /aceg/ squadron is full and there is talk of maybe making a second one. What advantages are there to the squadron system other than maybe matching into the same games?
>>583425010They need to hit the ship directly, if they fall on water they don't trigger
>>583424679It really is just the Rex and Baxter show. It's weird, they made sure to give Baxter his own complete story and sent him out with a bang, meanwhile its like they just didn't do anything for the other two other than "we need two standees to make it a 4 man squad"
i was always a little disappointed that you never see mage squadron again in 7
will they unfuck the multiplayer lads
>>583424287>>583424358>>583424931Thanks guys, these are all great.Here's a cute Gripen for your trouble

>>583424080The mission 8 suite is incredible. Switching between the rock version of My Blue Sky Home and the orchestral version with the Everflow leitmotif, then going into the shadows theme (Retaking of Theve II) was awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiWcMkTjMLohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q70D8uAjXjUMission 23's "Rumbling" was great too, the best part of Ass Whore was it's music and that piece sounds in that stylehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn9cag6Qrcs
>>583425543I like how the battleships and final battle spoilerssub fight are basically just multiple versions of Torres fight, i guess he's the perfect formula for ship boss fight
>Moon 11 ejects at the last second>starts monologueing >proceeds to get blown to bloody chunks the literal next frame afterum.... was that really necessary?
There's a pony chair emote? Pass or crate?
>>583425543Any man can understand the pleasure of hitting a long range shot, it's a pure pursuit, and the only reason he's evil is because his target also happens to have a million Os*ans on it.

>>583424080Celaeno is the only one I actually remember, not counting the main theme and the ending songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lah3DiSlhMthe drop around one minute in timed to the expected arrival at the target was pretty cool
>>583426226The Tonitrus Spear is the most effective weapon ever made, it's so good that it makes me question how did Sotoa ever managed to put it in orbit without being wiped out by Yuktobania on the spot
>>583426187>even McDonalds becomes a MegacorpSOMEBODY STOP THEM
>>583422798If you fly close to where your teammates get shot down in multiplayer, they get a slightly faster respawn timer. I think.
>>583426253I NEED the Raptor II or I might kill myself
>>583425010Yeah, you gotta double tap bombs then double tap with missiles then gun burst. Frigates die easiest, then destroyers, aegis, battle cruisers, carriers. With any luck your teammates will be working on other enemies, or ar least another ship, so you should have one all to yourself.Honestly after I unlocked gunpods I would just slow to above stall and fire away, felt like it was roughly the same time to kill but I never used up bomb ammo or potentially missed a drop.
>>583426253Fuck these things make my dick so hard
I find the AC7/AC8 method of needing to do a specific raindance for the Ace to spawn obnoxious compared to older titles desu
>>583424080I wish i knew the name but it's the instrumental version of the main theme, i think it plays on the space shuttle escort against the shadows.
>>583426852It's not too bad in 8, to be honest. Most of them spawn just for doing the mission like you normally would.
https://litter.catbox.moe/c6slruymwe0pzpva.mp4
>>583426507Sotoa took out massive loans they had zero intention of paying back, used some of that massive amount of money to invest in a more privatized Comona, then used it to launch the TS up into orbit with the lie that it's a space telescope
this is such an awesome boss theme, very fitting for the missionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGDBoA2d8KA

>>583427690The sky was promised to them 3000 years ago, please understand.
>>583427316Honestly I heard 3 cranes and then immediately blew up the first 3 cranes I saw, didn't even let Chanteuse finish explaining, fucked up the mission of course
>>583427740I'm a boring fuck, I liked Bandog the most
i was hurling slurs for 10 seconds during this maneuverits the attempt where i finally got the no radar medal too
>>583427927bruh the only annoying thing about that mission is the pair of savian gripens that infinitely gets replenished and attempt to perpetually attempt to glue themselves to your ass cheeks all game
>>583428015savian gripens?I only got rafales...

Finally had a successful Chandelier run. F-4 with MGP (and MGP/gun upgrades) is OP as fuck in it, instantly destroys the shields and shreds every tunnel run TGT.
Is Kate actually supposed to be likeable? It's ridiculous how many times missions have her go "I'm right here but I literally can't do anything so you will ahve to cross the entire map and do it for me or the mission immediately fails". And the amount of plate spinning the missions ask for feels worse than normal . Honestly i think AC7's gimmicks were less annoying than constant full map babysitting.
>>583428186>Deranged psychopaths that invade their neighbors and inexplicably holds the entire world hostageNah it's Israel
>>583427712Could be a way to flex>We wasted one of our most expensive weapon on a poor rural city because we can. We are not saving it for emergency. Surrender or we'll throw more of this
>>583424080https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBU-BV-g-fA&list=RDgBU-BV-g-fA&start_radio=1I think the best part of this game was fighting the Shadows on the F22s after you escort the space shuttle, maybe that's why i like this otherwise standard song.
>>583428689slenderman hands
>>583428405No idea what she's supposed to be but i liked her.
>>583428689>still a Lt. Cmdr at her age
>>583428452Israel took a barren shithole away from foreign occupation and restored it to its past glory. Sotoa fucked up their homeland so bad that they have to abandon it entirely.
it really feels like a musou game where you are the only competent person on the battlefield and are forced to run around contantly doing everyone's jobs for them.
Is it worth investing in this thing just to deal with the Chandelier?
>>583428689She looks like someone I've seen somewhere.

>>583429158I think the problem is that people are having a hard time hitting the ballast tanks, on account of there being so many targets that it's hard to get a lock. Every time the sub dives, that's precious attack time lost.
>>583429007No, the F-15 can instantly destroy it's cooling units with just two SFFS
>real world politics in strangerealits like you missed the fucking point

>>583429338>>583429404F-15E* fuck
>>583429407look man, they got tonitrus'd, let's just call it even this time.
>>583429407AC9 should be post-Electrosphere (Nemo fucking destroyed everything). We play as Belkan Jesus in his quest to restore Earth and turn it into Neo Belka.
What's the best mission to farm for creds
who are those other 4 guys in joker's planes that nobody talks to?
>>583429552The Enso Order facility in Belka (of which Enso Order is totally not Belkans we swear you guys) got Speared. Please ignore that the facility was in the city of Anfang which is German for "beginning" or "start."Nothing to see here, move along people.
AC9 will be always online, seasonal, battle pass featuring, live-service game.
>>583429712I just hope we're not in Usea in AC9, we've been here forever, it's time to explore the other countries, I know they're trying to nostalgiabait with the elevator but it doesn't hit as hard when you're literally here a few years ago.
>>583429007This thing is so slow I want to cry chandelier might be the only thing it's good at
>>583429964It will also be a gacha where you pull for pilots but not planes. Specific planes are locked to specific characters.
>>583429964>the game where corporations control literally everything is the one with the most brutal monetizationludokino........
>>583430065You will also have to pull for planes. Duplicates are non-refundable.
>>583430065>putting a face to a planei mean it could be a basis for a better progression system idk
>>583429974I want AC9 to be set in Antarctia because we've never been there before.
>>583430253There is nothing there.Stay out.
>>583430253I'll take it, but then again, Anea already got the cold region gimmick.

belka?
>>583430463belka
>>583430412Honestly I want Aurelia again just because I love Fenrir, but I don't know who they're going to beef with.
>>583428452Iran's the one who's throwing a bitchfit on international waters though......
AC9 will take in the islamic republic of Europa fighting off a weakened Sotoa grasping at straws for resources and then a Yuktobanian invasion led by a rebeling military force backed by Enso Order intel and Belkan technology
>>583430624One tends to bitch when Israel convinces the U.S. to bomb the shit out of them (again). Not that Iran aren't assholes in their own right, but it's clear who started what.

>>583410263I miss the S-32 sure its just a berkut with a goofy thrust vectoring nozzle and different stabilizers and some shit at the end of the wings but its cool ita also only ever been in one console game I mean makes sense the thing doesn't exist so even the berkut at a whopping 1 has it beaten.
>>583430785thats why its a rebelling force the idea behind it is that central yuktobanian gubbermint does not approve of annexing its smaller neighbours but a hardline nationalist splinter force forces it anyway
This a good completion rate for an AC game you reckon?
i like how weirdly diverse even sotoa was. the first land battleship looked like it was helmed by a tiny indian man, and the second with a big white guy
>>583430817Prez was annoying
if i drop a UGB on the arsenal bird's wing, will that damage the propellers?
>>5834309297
>>583431120old ass game bro
>>583430763for sure. and the Sotoans are throwing a bitchfit claiming international waters as their own by building megafloats on it, all because the Yukes bitchslapped their ass
>>583431016It would be extremely painful.
I don't get Strangereal geopolitics.A nation can freely invade other countries, deploy space WMDs that killed millions and still no international condemnation or a coalition formed to persecute the threat nation
>>583430929either everyone actually loved this game or only ACfans bought this game and we barely got any newfags, this is abnormally fast and this game isn't exactly short.
>>583431392There's no geopolitics, most countries are permanently ruined
>>583431392Such actions are reserved for trying to get Erusea to take in more refugees.
>>583431392Whatever's left of Sotoa's leadership is getting Saddam'd after this one
>>583430785We need Belka again, they are the best villains
>>58343146278% positive, that's pretty good.
>>583431695MOTW villain that you beat up every week maybe
>>583431392Geopolitics got wiped out by asteroids that fucked up the whole planet, it's everyone for themselves now.
Who's the Belka of AC3?
boy i sure am happer this migger brough their mig to the alicorn fight!and not even the fishbed mig!>>583431236yeah but does it WORK?
>>583430929I'm going to pull a funny and finish all achievements aside from the training one
>>583430929It's a grippy story
Yuktobania this, Belka that.What about Osea being the villains? Harling is dead so his replacement can be some militarist guy who wants to make Osea great again or some shit
>>583431832Techbros
>>583430929>>583431120>>583431182>>583431462According to truetrophies/trueachievements websites, AC7 has a 35% campaign completion rate and AC6 has a 38% completion rate. You'll probably see similar numbers to that once enough weeks have gone by.
>>583431924>>583431924>Osea being the villainsWho's Canada in Strangereal?
>>583431924I really, really want a full scale Osean civil war
Why does it seem like console fags play really well, or get really lucky? Is there some compensation baked into cross platform so the kids play with training wheels or some shit?
>>583431985>According to truetrophies/trueachievementsThat on xbox or ps5?
>>583431902>I already understand the enemy
LAAM this LAAM that what about HVAA SASM or QAAMSAAM probably takes too much commitment to use online.
>>583431869Bringing one LAAM slinger is ok, if they're smart enough to be the drone/air support cleanup crewYou still need to kill all targets to get a S rank just like in Infinity.
This thing is a piece of shit
>>583432142truetrophies is AC7 on PS4, trueachievements is AC6 on 360 (duh), there is no actual PS5 version of AC7 it's just PS4 backwards compatibility so it would show up as PS4 trophies for anyone playing it on PS5.
>psnbros are fucking slacking
>Hot takeAWACS Oka Nienba leave more lasting impression than Dealer
>>583432324Getting from A to B is the worst part. Takes so long unless it handles like the drifting idolmaster one from 6 at level 20 I don't see the point.
everyone arguing about which country to be the villain next is forgetting one important thing. blue flag is good guys, red flag bad guys (the only exception being ustio). Yukes will mever be a protag nations because red, and osea can only be implied to be evil because blue. thanks for coming to my ted talk
It was a really good move to not have anyone in Joker Flight hostile to Rex for having to protect him at first. Tone would have been completely different.
>>583432354Oh yeah I'm blind, brain didn't even register the games you were referring to.
>>583432363Now that's more like it, I guess everyone moved on to snoystation because their PC optimization is horrid
>>583432363Xbox bros are at almost 15%
>>583432504I just don't get why everyone is like>Oh Cope is dead? WhateverBut when Baxter or Kate 'died'>Oh fuck this shit is not happening, we're so fuckedLike isn't Cope also your friend? Come on guys
>>583432680>Like isn't Cope also your friend? Come on guys>implying the flight actually liked Cope making them run the entire time
>>583432127Why would they play worse? Do you play with mouse and Keyboard by any chance?
>>583432258>HVAAuseless>SASM/QAAMmade for player killing in Warfare
>>583432721they still admire his flight from time to time so they actually have positive opinion about him
>>583432363That site shows two different percentages when you hover over it with your mouse for some reason and I can't quite figure out why.
>>5834323637
>>583432028unironicallyBelka
>>583432474Well yeah, he's great.
>>583432834One is for the PSNprofiles (website) users specifically and the other is for PSN overall.
>>583432028considering theve is torontowhichever fcu constituent state theve is in
>>583432680It confused me too, but I guess it's because they hadn't known him very long and they were already demoralized from how the war was going and weren't actually inspired by the fake Wings legend yet, so they weren't surprised or invested when he died. It's only when Ray starts making a difference that they really start growing as a team and locking in.
>>583432504Personally I don't think they bust Rex's balls anywhere near enough, the whole dynamic is just way too frictionless at the beginning
>>583432680>>583432816they admired Cope's skills but Cope doesn't shoot down anyone due to his conscientious objector beliefs - which in war earns you a big "death wish" since everyone's getting shot and your side is wasting resources on you who won't shoot back.
>>583432680What do you mean, Kate was shot down thinking about Cope.
>give Joker Morgans>they laser and MPBM the shit out of everything if you let the use SPWGod damn, these jokers make Hoffnung look like a firecracker.
>>583433010NTA, but he means the lack of meltdowns from Joker flight. Coster and Tasha basically bawled their eyes out for every death except for Cope
i wonder if the other team had fun
>>583433046honestly the AI in this game doesn't understand using SP weapon sparingly, once you give them an okay to use SP weapons they seem to halved their payload within 10-15 second, unlike AC5. Not sure if it's good or bad.
i have only seen arsenal bird and chandelier ONCEevery single other sortie has been this fucker
>>583433449I haven't seen it yetI got like 5 chandeliers and one arsenal bird
I'm just going to start throwing every match with a migger in my team
>>583433449>>583433551I can get the others no problem but Arsenal Birds don't exist in my experience.
>begin game>get instant killed by tlsIt took five seconds. They hadn't even finished the intro speech.I think I'll stick to regular coop.
>F-15E>F-16C>Migger-21>Su-33Yeah I think these are what I'm going to use until I unlock the Su-57 in mp
Can I get Morgan in campaign without deluxe?
Is it best to use attackers on Chandelier and Alicorn?
>>583418449>no hiss...
>>583433956Probably, but UGB multirole is still fine.
finally cleared alicorn right after complaining about itso it goes>>583433936no>>583433956mostly
>>583433936If you buy the battlepass
>>583433936If you pay for a battle passOr wait for the current pass to end and buy the plane standalone
Are LASMs good against the alicorn's ballast tanks in 8?
>>583434092>>583434096>>583434139>buy it as DLC planeI hope it's as cheap as AC7 or maybe I can wait for modded crafts instead
>>583431869>yeah but does it WORK?I mean sure if you can get it in the blast radius, but the question is why would you want to? Arsenal Bird already goes down easy so long as everyone keeps slinging missiles and bullets up its ass.
>>583432269You don't. You get a bonus depending on time remaining so just speedrun it and you're fine.
>>583434404was leveling the fullback but i've since capped it
>>583433834I ran into this dude earlier today. Don't know if he is legit or not but made the game super un-fun. MP is really only tolerable when the teams aren't full of LAAM/Morgan sweats. I purposely gimp myself by playing non meta and its just suffering.
Sotoa building a huge floating military fortress in the shape of their flag is kind of cringe if you think about itCan you imagine Canada building a gigantic maple leaf covered in railguns and SAMs
>>583418974What I'm seeing is "rush Rafale"
>>583434936This is the kinda shit a Usean malding on the internet would post.
>>583434940the fact that its a carrier plane makes it bizarrely randomly clutch, yes>>583434051>Battleship 2 unironically hisses when it needs to cool
>>583420278Probably the one part of the game where 8AGMs and their lock stacking is useful
>Using a ESM produces a high pitch noise These developers are some of the dumbest mother fuckers around. No one wants to listen to tinnitus.
>>583434936>the only thing canada puts funding in is their pretentious red coated moose cavalrynot in a million years
nosferatu but only the top ADMM launchers are used and they're loaded with XSDBs and they lock onto everything under you, including behind
Which jets should i focus on onlineI know HVAA and LAAM is king and I only care about a select few planes anyway
>>583435467LAAMs and XSDBs are all that matter. If a plane doesn't have one or the other you might as well ignore it.
what missions do i get the fastest money in campaign mode?
>>583435952The one with the cargo Arsenal Birds
>>583434936that''s based as fuck, actually
>>583435952take the SASMpillhttps://x.com/wa11111010000/status/2106606689244025090
>>583435235>listening to the game in multiplayerPut on a podcast or some music or something. Every match is so samey that you might as well enjoy something while you grind Assault or Warfare a dozen times.
>>583434936You cannot possibly believe that a leaf shaped floating city full of railguns isn't the coolest shit ever.
>>583435603>XSDBsWhy these exactly? What about SOD or LACM?
>>583424931>same. most of the music doesn't feel as tailor made for each mission as say, 7 did.maybe its because you've had 6 years of playing the same 20 missions over and over again to hardcode 7s tracks into your brain
>>583436126>>583436061oh thanks i thought it was going to be a pain in the ass
>>583434936the only thing thats cringe is that its too easy
R A I L G U N W A R N I N G
Railguns are fucking terrible anti air weapons, the only one that has ever been a threat is the Stonehenge from AC4 and Maybe the Alicorn ones if you're retarded
>>583436512For some reason these guys do chip damage tier for something so destructive
who the fuck is the princess? is it still cossette or one of her sisters?
>>583436512I think Sotoan railguns are just weak, but with a greater rate of fire to make up for it. EMLs in 7 could oneshot things, even plane mounted ones like Mihaly's Strike Wyvern could instakill you if you choose not to dodge. Meanwhile Land Battleships are always firing compared to the long cooldown the Alicorn had, and even the Nightmare fired railgun rounds more often than Mihaly.
>>583436840its cossette>sistersthe two girls were mihaiy's grand daughters
>27 sorties>ONE Scramble/BossfightSurely this isn't how it is for everyone?
>>583436962EMLs in 7 just fire solid kinetic projectiles while railguns in 8 fire munition tipped projectiles, so they probably nerf the energy output while relying on airburst effects to damage
NNICE GAME

Haven't been here since the infinity days.Am I crazy or did Scamco make the online as infuriating as possible? Sure, I'm not paying per sortie anymore but I'm spending more time queuing than playing missions. I can't tell shit from the menus and I think I'm getting outsniped by some SP W. People unloading on targets immediately and stuff.Infinity wasn't perfect, but I could at least navigate the menu. Do the planes in Online have the same loadouts as campaign? I can only see the starting SPW in the store.Are scrambles and emergencies super rare (Assuming so because it helps monetize things)? I've played maybe three total in 8 hours of play.<<Thank you for your time.>>
>>583437007mission 4?
>>583437136I get a special mission every 4.5 regular missions on average.You shouldn't have dumped luck.
Given the real exotic design and weapons, I'm disappointed the Nightmare doesn't have a pulse laser for its gun. That really made the ADF-11 feel really scifi, it would do the same here.
>>583437329>NO, I AM NOT, NOW WHAT?
>>583437605burst fire railguns are plenty exotic DESU
>>583437605Laser are exclusive belkan witchcraft
>>583436840Rosie/Cossette is the princess, she changed her name
>took out shadow 24 in ~20 secondsyeah the GAME and more importantly SASMS seem to be way too fucking good vs "muh fucking kulbit bullshityou just need to fire a "good" missile to get them to do a kulbit/ put the flares on a sort of internal cooldown and then pound them with a SASM for consistent damageignore the wingmen doing lmao shit im pretty sure ESM+SASM was the most useful contributor here
>>583437432They do have the same weapons. It'd be a lot more user friendly if they were shown from the start though, not everyone has played campaign enough to remember all of them.It'd actually be better if they had different weapons since online has the same class based damage bonuses/penalties as ACI, so fighters/attackers are frequently stuck with a weapon that does awful damage.
>>583437432For some reason playing this game makes me more frusterated than playing infinity. It might have something to do with non-self missile desync so enemies get popped with no missile trail towards it, or worse, a missile trail that missed.LAAM spam against air targets is meta, as their guidance capabilities are overtuned and air targets are overscored. It's virtually impossible to get MVP with an attacker, compared to the infinity days where a talented Bomber can get MVP on most maps.I'm glad I wasn't the only one frustrated with menu navigation.Planes have the same SPWs as campaign.Have we determined what triggers sorties? Timers and RNG? The other day I had 3 scrambles almost back to back.
>>583437432>Haven't been here since the infinity days.Welcome back buddy.>Am I crazy or did Scamco make the online as infuriating as possible?Don't worry, that's the general consensus.>Sure, I'm not paying per sortie anymore but I'm spending more time queuing than playing missions.Netcode sucks and they failed to implement a way to handle when a player drops mod match.>I can't tell shit from the menus and I think I'm getting outsniped by some SP W.

my name is not important but you may call me la cringe
>>583436232what, you don't think I considered that when I typed that? the average song on my first playthrough of 7 felt more tailor made for each situation on my through than 8's. honestly I could say the same thing about AH vs 8.I listed my reasons why I think I had a problem with the 8's OST in game and it's not like I can't appreciate it more later, but right now I maybe like a dozen songs and half of them are carried by the Shadow's chant or Everflow motif because they were the cues for kino.
V2 scamco headquarters for approving online in this state
>>583438302I mean I was also a Day One paypig but I care more about single player because this is fucking Ace Combat. It's more that the sweats had an immediate and insane advantage over every nugget, only good thing about waiting until the general release to head online was that there were countless other nuggets flying with me so I could get bodied with company.
>>583437671try playing with fullscreen instead of borderless
>>583438459I think my problem with the soundtrack is that mission 29 felt way too scripted, that's why i think mission 20 is way better, the soundtrack isn't as kino but there's hardly any script, you could be listening the theme for 5 minutes or you can instantly finish the fight if you get lucky
>play old ace combat>run into thing you have trouble with>bring QAAMs next timethis game it seems to be>bring the most QAAM-like aircraft you have, ride a plane's nuts, SASM dead>>583438535>It's more that the sweats had an immediate and insane advantage over every nuggetthat has nothing to do with preordering though, its tied to buying the season pass
Russian planes are just more aesthetic it has to be said>>583438459MAGIC SPEAR is very good it has to be said
>>583438646so how come the opponent GAYME is so weak while yours are moving like a modded craft? what a disservice to the craft to showcase its debut like that. they all die with one missile too for some reason, weird glitch.
>>583438819>so how come the opponent GAYME is so weakfor reasons i dont understand they took the best planes in the game and put the absolutely most worthless pilots in themSotoa was fucking retarded in that moment
>>583438646>that has nothing to do with preordering though, its tied to buying the season passI guess I'm conflating the two. I figured most sweats had also preordered since if they were going to whale I thought they might as well whale early for early access. Regardless half this shit would've been solved if Scamco implemented points caps, since they had that in 7 and they already have that shit here.
>>583438889something something unfamiliar controls vs a cockpit that is pretty much the extension of your body I guess
>>583437809>>583437914>>583438026Thanks for the heads up. Never got a plane with LAAMs in my campaign playthrough, so the explanation makes sense.Feels like online is going the gacha route of being annoying to make people pay up (five? different currencies). I just want to fly my Fulcrum but outside of point restrictions I don't think she's got the sauce to keep up.At least the campaign was mostly fun. Can't say I liked the story much, but the key missions really knocked it out of the park. Loved the land battleships and resupplying in a hot LZ was absolutely sick. Can replay those and the megacity mission any day of the week.
>>583437914>It's virtually impossible to get MVP with an attacker, compared to the infinity days where a talented Bomber can get MVP on most maps.it is pretty amusing how they just completely flipped the meta over from infinity. instead of just slinging 8AGMs out of an F-35 (or occasionally bombing the arkbird with an A-10 or SU-47) it's overvalued air targets getting farmed with LAAMs. but yes, online is genuinely just infinity but worse. the gay time gated logistics of the fuel system was bad, but if you could cope with that then the game actually functioned.
>>583438889>for reasons i dont understand they took the best planes in the gameEnso Order sold the Sotoans on the Game being so full of AI enhanced assistive systems that you could outfit a squad of not-even-graduated nuggets and that would get them an equivalent of a normal fighter squadron. You should go into the view aircraft menu and read the detailed text descriptions for each one, they're quite detailed now.
this is the first game since AC4 to not feature Wyvern right?
>>583437720Yeah I know, it just needed one more.
>>583439137AC6 did not have it
>>583438605>dealer literally lets you off the leashman mission 20 was the perfect balance of everything.
>>583439179oh yeah, fair enough, not sure why that never come across my mind
>>583437605I don't even miss pulse lasers. They were so fucking busted.
>>583438958> I figured most sweats had also preordered since if they were going to whale I thought they might as well whale early for early accessi preordered because i wanted to support team aces and theres typically a ~15% discount for preordering on fanatical>Regardless half this shit would've been solved if Scamco implemented points capsthis game mode was made in a fucking cave and is remarkably backwards and shitthe fact that Ace combat 8's SP looks like theyve actually evolved mission archetypes are all the organic clues that hte multiplayer system was a soulless cashgrab implemented with the most desire to make it fail so they never get asked to do it again>>583439110okay but my suspension of disbelief can only go so farlike how can you barely know how to pilot a plane, and having established that, not figure out how to eject
>ENSOcoin isn't a shitcoin >DAOs are the future you fucking luddite>they make products for the whole world What say you now? My GRL and NUC stocks have been climbing ever since the war ended while all ENSO cryptotards have nothing.
But how does it compare to Project Wingman?
>>583439307do we really not have any PLSL equipped unit in this game?
>>583439307its not that they were busted (they were)its that they were in a game where everything was THAT shitty comapred to pulse lasers what the fuck was PA smoking iirc even the MPBM and TLS were absolute dogshit
>>583439364>goodsmultiplayer>badsno AOA harrier
>>583439316>like how can you barely know how to pilot a plane, and having established that, not figure out how to ejectBecause they're trainees who havent graduated flight school given top of the line fighter jets that are supposed to have working automated ejection seats. Enso Order was using them as guinea pigs to iron out the kinks.

>>583439391Nope.>>583439439I mean, sorta? The only SPECIAL special weapon that was better than just okay was the ADMM because the CFA is best girl, but even if the other special weapons were better the PLSLs would still be the best special weapon in the game.
>>583439316Everyone in the story is absolutely stupid, to be fair.Satoans can field several megatanks and "a thousand" pilots but threw out a bunch of people that don't know how to fly for ??? reasons? Reasoning being the plane is so easy anybody that can take off could be an ace would be fine if they didn't have almost anyone from that final assault.Then again, no reason to take anything in this story seriously since pilot valhalla is not only real, but if you are a good enough pilot you can haunt other pilots and show up when they die/are dying.
We need a solution to the thing where you're basically locked into using the few twin-seaters in the game just to get dialogue from the WSO. I'm thinking maybe have them tag along in the AWACS as a secondary operator?
>>583439016>Loved the land battleships and resupplying in a hot LZ was absolutely sick.If you liked the mid-mission resupply consider playing AC6. There's a Windows recomp out on Github that runs 60 fps in-game, twice that of the 360 original, and it has none of the bugs or glitches long plaguing the Xenia emulator. You can find an iso for 6 on vimm's lair, and the DLC packs are in the Mega linked in the OP.
>>583439639
>>583439391Not a single one. The weapon does exist in the game. It's on the Celaeno in campaign, and the Arsenal Bird in MP.
>>583439687Sotoans are Mongolian sandpeople. The two most barbaric and unlikeable cultures tied together.
>>583438819I think Tewy said that the Games were defective in one of the leaked recordings where she's chastising some Enso guyThey aren't ready for primetime (the planes and the pilots)
how do you realistically no damage run this game?
>>583439682MG got a huge hitbox and range boost, and it helps that planes have extremely low maneuverability at their top and minimum speeds so you arent straining to hit planes that all turn on a time and accelerate like a motherfucker
>>583439750That one always escaped me. I think I'll go dance with the angels next. Thanks, buddy.
I honestly hope that LAAMs get nerfed so all the fucking MIGGERs and other faggots that spent all their money and blueprints on LAAM equipped planes fucking cry for being metafags.
>>583439806High speed and long range missiles I would assume are gonna be key. Though some of the rail gun segments give me worry.
>>583439727>rew out a bunch of people that don't know how to fly for ??? reasons? Reasoning being the plane is so easy anybody that can take off could be an ace would be fine if they didn't have almost anyone from that final assault.if anyone hasnt noticed yet, theres some not so subtle parallels here to imperial japan in the late stages of ww2 (throwing teens into warplanes just to have fresh bodies to throw at the enemy in a desperate last stand)
>>583439774i think mongolians are based though since i do a bit of wrasslin as a hobbyits the new zealands and their diversity dance/chant i cant stand
>>583439892Yeah, I'm not going to enjoy mission 27 I think, that shit is impossible to no damage
>>583439912>FA-36 GAME>because war is just a GAME to enso BRAVO PA
Anyone notice those two Mig-29s at the start of the airfield raid mission that go fucking hypersonic? They're marked as targets, but it takes real work to catch the little bastards until they decelerate for their attack run on the choppers.
>>583439316>like how can you barely know how to pilot a plane, and having established that, not figure out how to ejectTo be fair, the Game nuggets were told that they're literally retarded and should GTFO. They got cocky and completely disregarded everyone telling them they were gonna get facefucked by Useans.
>>583439604>satisfying, but broken as fuckYea, it's not like I don't like the PLSLs but it's fucking ridiculous how good they were lmao
>>583439624I like Prez (as a WSO-as-a-character) more than my wingmates (as a wingmate-as-a-character), her yapping felt more useful. But if you don't play with a 2-seater from the word go you miss her and she is never mentioned.I'm getting Secret Weapons Over Normandy flashbacks where you start a mission in a captured German bomber with your wingman inside, then you swap to a pair of fighters, so 1 plane becomes 2[/spoilers]
>>583439882this pisses me offI was LAAMing people in AC7 and kissing the floor while seeing the entire room trying to chase me, actively shooting each other down was hype as fuckI dont even care if i lost MVP, it was exciting just wathcing people pick each other off while flying with their nuts to the groundAnd then at some point it just became everyone trying to laser each other with the fishbed and its MGP
>>583439316I believe they were told to disengage by the Sotoan tower.
>>583439941Not modern Mongolians, medieval rape and pillage mongolians.
>>583439316If you shoot down the poor lass leading the training squadron while the vets are still up, they'll note that her plane's auto-eject worked. I can only assume that particular feature isn't exactly reliable...
>>583440030the ventus squadron guys are so badass, they both canonically survive getting shot down by wings, one escapes by stealing an FCU armored vehicle and the other gets caught, but manages to plan and execute a successful POW prison break
>>583440170>the poor lassShe got off easy when she blew her brains out
>>583439912Oh no, I got that one. But they were able to put together a giant squad much later in the war here. Hell, throw one of the Shadow Squadrons into the super fancy planes and instead of having the nuggets just be dumb, you could have them bitching about the controls being wrong or not working the way a more manually controlled plane would (something something I'm getting old and these newfangled nintendos have too many buttons).Having the nuggets lose in the GAME planes would make much more sense during that final assault with the billion planes in the air.
Thread is out of fuel and gliding, current altitude page 4.
>>583439876No problem friend. Other big AC news is that people figured out how to get Infinity working again, there's guides on Youtube on how to set up a Playstation emulator to play the campaign or online. Also PS2 emulation has been perfected for a good while now, so no more weird plane textures or square explosions.
Would you eat at Long Caster's franchise?
>>583440309we will glide to the next tanker
>>583440170>If you shoot down the poor lass leading the training squadron while the vets are still up, they'll note that her plane's auto-eject worked. I can only assume that particular feature isn't exactly reliable...honestly? this brings up a unique point about 8I think its genuinely the first game to have ALOT of alternate dialogue that can be missed (because so much shit is happening at once)so just the fact that the chatter is so complex and busy lends itself to how different the missions sound on replayit does WAY more for replay value than any other feature thats ever been in any other ACHell, I never even heard the S*toans boiling alive in their own ship until i replayed the mission like 2 times and finally mentally tuned out the sound of the railguns
>>583439806go fast, as long as you're R2ing you can avoid most problems, unironically. probably just make a UFO SU-57 and lob LACMs while doing flippy QAAM shit against aces, and whatever for carrier missions
>>583439806Probably drop down difficulty to the lowest that's medal achievable, like in previous games. There's also an endgame item that prevents taking damage until a certain threshold is met, so that should be usedul.
>>583440286I think the shadows are so tied to their airframes they couldn't possibly pilot anything else, regardless of how good it is. They're just too used to how their own shit handles that going to something different would gimp them more than aid them.
>>583440423>There's also an endgame item that prevents taking damage until a certain threshold is metoh wait, that counts as no damage? I'll buy that then
>>583439806You use the NG+ part that gives you a shield

>>583439806there's also that aircraft part the prevents damage until a certain threshold is passed. probably does wonders for AA and railgun shockwave
>>583440321redpill me on JAPAN DEFENSE?
>>583439806I'll do it by lobbying cruise missiles and QAAMs from the SU 57 probably
>>583440472I don't think anyone's tested it yet, but if it works as advertised it's gonna be a godsend.
>every missile is a QAAM>every oxygen molecule is replaced with an AA bullet>reinforcement podarge wings are made out of diamondMission 25 on ace is a pain in the ass!
>>583439639>ringI just realized he's married.
>>583439364Actual planes instead of Temu knockoffs is always good.Voice acting and graphics are also much much better. Everything else is pretty same same
>>583436210Because hitting 4 targets with a big slash is better than anything else except maybe the clusters.
aw yeah
