>>583535743Damn, Rex is that old and still acts so meek?
Are any of AC8's setpieces like Podarges or Land Battleship fights translatable to DCS cinematics? I'm talking about those DCS movies based on Ace Combat

DEATH TO ALL Y*KES AND ER*SIANS
FAN is a fraud and the artbook/Dawn Aerowar is still not released. Just wanted to remind everyone of these facts, have a good day.
Cute Ochoa
>>583536030why would anyone even buy a PW art book, it's not like it looks particularly unique or interesting
>>583535986truetasha makes me feel like I'm babysitting
>>583535986unironically the reddit opinionwhat do we do about that
Remember, the planefus are innocent! It's the SP.Ws that are evil! And/or the lack of meaningful situations to make each SP.W shine!
At least Tasha isn't as mopey and melodramatic as Nagase in 5
I liked Trigger a lot more than I did Rex.
FREE ME FROM THIS HELLISH NIGHTMARE
>>583536225Explain the MiG-31 then
>>583536125Higher tier of backer reward. Was supposed to be a cool digital bonus for people who gave them more money, now it's just a funny broken promise.
>>583536007This should the next antagonist, a self righteous country or organization that believes all previous antagonistic countries should be nuked and you have the choice to side with them or protect Belka.
>>583536243One thing I'll give 8 is that your squad is no where near as ungodly annoying as your squad in 5 was
>>583536282i like rex because a bunch of the yes/no options paint him as incredibly bloodthirsty
They could've done the funniest thing and made the first season pass unlock the ADFX-01 -Block1-, but noooooooo
>>583536319Just get the ground stuff, they won't even bother you since they're busy with the planes
>>583536007But the Yukes did nothing wrong. Even the Oseans sang the journey home kumbaya with them at the end of the war.
>>583536069I bet she tastes like strawberies
>>583536452I expected a more involved response by surprising everyone when I AGREE with Tewy during the final fight with her
>>583536452Hopefully they lean into it in the DLC hopefully there is a DLC like they did with Trigger's need for speed.
Is the F-15E's SFFS really better than Su-34's UGBL? Asking for Online, I can endure the bullshit as long as I set myself up safely with the planes I like
>>583536494>destroy over half the ground targets on your own>the migger still outscores youI lost MVP to an F-14 with LAAMs here by over 10k points
>>583536506Clearly they are stupid enough to recruit Belkan 'Ofnir' as is, without any background check whatsoever, Grabacr still has to go with 8492 + incognito mode to not arouse Osea suspicions.
>one week in>they still haven't enabled linux EACit's so over tuxbros... we're too far behind now...
>>583536494Nigga I don't care about what its doing to the PvE environment, I want to know why the fat brick with stubby wings is turning with F-15s
>>583536585This place seems very deadset on this game getting no kind of support for... Some reason
>>583536007>oy vey Erusea you have to take in one million rapefugees even though your capital city got fucked by a meteorite, it's for the good of Usea!what exactly did they do wrong?
>>583536452Trigger is an autist who likes to dab on people in the air and do stupid shit for no reason other than to flex on the pleps.Rex is a bloodthirsty maniac who will go full afterburner if he has gets a whiff of a challenge.
>>583536651It's still ridiculous that players can both Steamroll and Ace and still not get MVP. 3 Star bonuses are fucking busted when the game literally states that you quantifiably did more than anyone else.
The most pathetic flaw of 8 is that the devs have apparently never heard of high contrast text. or even just background windows for text. most hangers have undreadable text half the time.
>>583536637it's better because you get to fly the 15E instead of the Hunchback
>>583536720what's the point of being the biggest Usean country if you're not going to use your land wisely?
I have no clue where they go with this series after this. The ending makes it very clear that AC3 does in fact still happen but still I don't see them hard committing to making a direct sequel to that.
>Oh no I can't just win by brainlessly click on ground targets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Attacker faggots need to rope themselves already
>>583535939It makes sense for Rex to be in his 30s. Baxter generally implies that Rex and him are the older ones who have to look after the younger members of their squad who are Coster and Tasha. Cope was 35 and it just makes sense for Rex to be in the same age range as Cope.
>>583536969instead you win by brainlessly clicking on air targetssuch skill
Despite looking cooler than the ADF-11, the X-40 doesn't feel good to fly because you don't have enough ammo to play with the unique SPW, which represent half of the unique SPWs in the game. At least this one had the decency of not forcing me to wait and pay for this game's super plane.
>>583536969Bro, LAAMs are the most braindead shit in the game right now.
So how do you get this ace? I swear I'm killing every Shadow in mission 8, and I finish with nothing gained. What am I missing?
>>583536961>everything in the simulation is just a hypothetical unit that is currently WIP or discarded>Real world is still using good ol real planesIf they have to retcon one or two little things to make it work then just do it. Hell these fictional upgrades could be DLC or unlocks instead.
>>583536961Sequel to what? 3 never happened.
>>583536708I'm sure it will get support, what I dread is them going all in on the online mode and not having an SP DLC this time, which would disappoint me but wouldn't surprise me.
Which jet fighter is the sluttiest?
>>583537076>anon discovers real life aerial warfareESM + long range missiles are the only way
>>583537020>>583537076>Immediate coping and seethinglmao!
>>5835369613 hasn't happened because 3 was all a simulation. The only thing from 3 they have to carry over into reality is Nemo flying around doing something.
>>583537228Fuck off retard>>583537205Consider: we are playing a video game
>>583536585>>583536731>Trigger is a retard Daredevil>Rex is absurdly bloodthirsty and a bit of a schizoDo other Aces have any "established" personality? Y'know besides Cipher being 3 different people depending on how you play him.
>>583537195Dunno about jets but Jackpot 9 is a racks bunny for sure.
>>583536961I could get into something mid/late 2030s, pre-Intercorporate War. Let the Delphinus 1 be a superplane.
>muh LAAM>muh GPBLdon't caregrowlin'
>>583536917Sure but I also want a feel for the bombs>t. has a f-2 with ugb
>>583537296Blaze is a weed addict?
>>583537283Consider: a rope with which to hang yourself.
>>583537296Mobius 1 is a no nonsense patriotBlaze is chill
the plane i gunned crashed into the other one that was cool
>>583537296Mobius refuses to retire but that's about it. The others are all very bland and don't have much characterization from the game/dialogue besides I guess Bishop being generic Cowwadooty man.I guess you could take something away from Talisman going along with Shamrock's mental breakdown and refusal to withdraw but eh
>>583537526>>>/dcs/
>>583537360>GPBLwha?
>>583537296What about the ace pilot known as Anonymous?
>>583537548i had an il76 ram into one of the podarges but that might be scripted?
You know what multiplayer needs? High-value targets inside tunnels. Besides Chandelier
They forced Rex back into WSO because of how bloodthirsty he was. "SEND ME TO YUKTOBANIA!" he screamed before being chained to the backseat.
>>583537427SFFS and UGBs are essentially the same mechanically
>>583537296
>>583537548rare
>>583537597whatever's the big bomb on the su34 calledi don't care it's beneath me
>>583537636I think it was more like Rex wanted to take a trip to Cope's homeland for some closure and his pilot GF went with him.
If Trigger was the in Rex' shoes the Shadows would have been seething in their cockpits instead of feeling fear cause the dude will probably do tricks on their asses before shooting them down with machine gun.
>>583537531mobius is more of an AI than the AI>>583537296cipher's supposed personalities are just how other people who don't know him interpret his motivations. its just weird that they almost all seem to agree on what those are for all 3 playthroughs.
>>583537636>They forced Rex back into WSO because of how bloodthirsty he was.He keeps trying to down enemy aircraft uaing flares now.He's getting surprisingly good at it too.
>>583537310>female marineAs if there was ever any doubt.
>>583537296Given all the dialogue I have to assume Blaze is actually 10, maybe even 11 years old.
>>583537863Cope got a maneuver kill on a double digit Shadow, Rex could probably pull it off.
>>583537234But the world in which 3 hypothetically takes place in was real. The state of strangereal in 2040 is one that has GR and Neucom waging a corp war and all the shit with Dision did in fact happen and sublimation is a real thing. It'd be pretty funny if they just plopped the vast majority of their playerbase that has never touched a pre-PS2 AC game in that world with no explanation, they probably do need to remake 3 if they want to go forward with the timeline.
>>583537296Phoenix is the embodiment of Fighter's Honor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gE9Tu_Ufdc
>>583537839If him and his tomboy were on that carrier he would've been able to keep up with the Ladons while flying an A-6.
Silly suggestion: Each game handles differently because of the mute psycho in question's flying style, i.e. 7 handles super snappy because Trigger is a mad fucking bastard who's constantly pulling ridiculous stunts
Is it time to apologize to Ace Combat Infinity?
>>583537984since barely anyone touched the OG AC3 they could simply retcon some stuff away to make it more grounded again
Which high tier fighter for Online should I get to replace my F-14D as a mainstay?
bought the morgan and dumped all my built up xp items on iti actually feel bad for the people who have been grinding itTLS doesn't 1-shot things so you're getting outdone by both LAAM and QAAM boats MPBM is inferior to UGBL/SOD/SFFS boatsbut then again it's available from the very start so i guess it has that going for it
Trigger makes his enemies seethe as he trolls them with the absurd difference in skillRex puts the fear of God into the hearts of his opponents as a flying pale horseman.
>>583538303MiG-31
>>583537984Players were dropped into AC3 setting and figured it out as the game moved along. Granted, I don't think Project Aces would keep the presentation of AC3. I personally think what we are going to get is a fake-out remake where it initially seems like it's going to be a remake and then deviates very quickly. Nemo then shows up at some point cementing that version of AC3 and its simulations are still canon.
>>583538337>TLS doesn't 1-shot things so you're getting outdone by both LAAM and QAAM boats>MPBM is inferior to UGBL/SOD/SFFS boatsB-But everyone is bitching about how overpowered P2W it is!
>>583538393Nice try but I'm not a migger
>>583538542You're already an LAAMbabby, might as well stick with it, hypocrite
The fact that we were given a reason to dive into a tunnel instead of doing it for the lulz is nice. But it just makes Rex fucking horrifying lmao.>You think just because your inside the bunker you're safe from?
>>583538542The typhoon so you replace one LAAM spammer with another :)Really though, unless you want specifically a fighter I've been having a ton of fun with the 18E. SODs are pretty good now and you get QAAMs
Is there any use for SASM online or should I not bother with Gripen?
>>583538984SASMs are good for Warfare if you go player hunting. I still wouldn't bother with the Gripen either way.
>>583538337just tried TLS against shipsit actually got me to lol at how fucking terrible the damage was>>583538434like i said i think it's a matter of comparison against the starting aircraft but even a MIG31 dumpsters this thing of course this is all from a PvE perspectivei'm sure the TLS has its place as a free-aimed death beam in PvP
Cooooopyy! :D
>>583538887I want a fighter for the a2a buff, unless that doesn't apply to spw
>>583539094yeah I don't want to PvP, AC7 already gave me enough to not do it, guess I'll forget about it.
>finally bought the 15E>need another 210k fun bucks to level it to 20I may go insane first
The only respectable SP.Ws are MGP, RKT, and TLS
>>583539314for some reason I feel like I've seen Purple Magic emblem somewhere in AC7 or am I going insane? It's somewhere near the beginning of the Trigger's Mage arc I think
>>583539294Yeah, unfortunately right now A2A PVE is LAAMs or nothing. You won't ever get in range to use anything else before it gets sniped.
>>583539229
>>583539480well, it's better than PvP cesspool i suppose
>>583539461Skeleton squadron maybe? They get smoked early on.
>>583539461glamrock?
>>583539461Mage Squadron there the first guys you fly with until you go to jail
>bravo 4 DAMN IT COME ON GUYSWhy does the multiplayer guy keep yelling at me?
>>583539649
>>583539649I love this dumb emblem
>>583539735the direct equivalent of that voiceline in japanese probably sounds a bit less retarded
>>583539749>>583539789GUNNA SPOOK YA
>>583539735its just Alpha/Bravo X spliced together with whatever comes next making it sound funny
>>583535270The points are almost entirely for bragging rights. The difference between 1st and 4th or 8th are like 100 zoll.Anyway, reposting that other guy's list of all aircraft and arms.
>>583539649>>583539692>>583539714I think it's just a culmination of Osea's magic oriented squadron all coming into my head whenever I see it, it's a weird deja vu
>>583539923am I seeing it wrong or there's only one UGBL in the whole roster?
>>583537548>>583537613planes including podarges flying in formation that are shotdown are scripted to fly into each otherprobably the reason the long range missiles are OP is they can take advantage of planes flying in formation
>>583540070You are seeing it right, unfortunately. A-10 definitely should've gotten it too.
>>583540135well that's the LAAM equivalent for A2G right? I think I'll get that next
>>583540113Yeah I must have taken down an entire formation or two of bombers on mission 28 before I remembered you can just make them slam into each other.Still what is the point of targeting wings on bombers?
>>583540113>probably the reason the long range missiles are OP is they can take advantage of planes flying in formationit's more of enemy AI being turned off until the player approaches the unit
>>583539923>no information on what abilities planes get>can't check abilities without grinding to and then spending excessive zoll buying planesfuck!
>>583540175Su-34 with UGBL.
It's crazy that the best track in the game is hanger BGM (Hangar II). I could unironically listen to it for hours, god damn.
>>583540251thats what im saying, since their AI doesnt activate you can probably frequesntly proc this with long range missiles
>>583540337I don’t think so, my favorite song from Ace Combat 2 is its Hanger theme
>>583540251Yep, pretty much. Don't forget the 2-star radius+ thing from the shop for maximum annihilation.
>>583540370I've ran pretty much just the Rafale with LAAM in campaign and it has only happened to me once - as aforementioned, with the IL-76 on podarge
>>583540337>It's crazy that the best track in the game is hanger BGM (Hangar II)<<thats a matter of perspective>>
>>583540370Is it the same with the Shadows?
>>583540337I'm still waiting for a Youtube upload that includes all stages of the theme and not just the final one so we can appreciate the ramp up. The question is really how much time to spend on each part
>>583540317Bee the change you want to see...is what I'd say if there were more than ten people in the world who've grinded enough to obtain said information
>>583540502No, shadows are active as soon as they spawn in. I think spawned aces are, too, even if they don't chase you.
>>583540337for me, it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lah3DiSlhMalthough as far as hangar tracks are concerned I liked the assault horizon hangar 2 one the mosthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-aJJSKTZuA
bros... i have 10 matches until F-35... i'm tired boss...
How is RKTL on the Su-33 online?
So uhh, what the fuck were those numbers Cope was yapping about?
At what level does the F-16 stop feeling slugish?
kek warcrimed lil buddy
>>583540718Around 10
>>583540706Shadow PTSD, as good as a pilot he is, running away all the time would still be traumatic
>>583540719Oh my God
>>583539923Oh shit, thanks anon I was just looking for this. I'm grinding the Growler but 180k is a steep investment just to get level 20 and ECM. Will probably just buy the Fullback soon and save up for upgrades and the Barricader, I don't have an attacker yet and 30k for IEWS will be a steal when I finally unlock it.
>2 a-10s on chandelier>still fail>a10s were 1st and 2nd, i was 3rd in a morganprobably didn't help that i wanted to test out TLS damage but i thought those planes were supposed to rape the core HP in seconds
>>583540719You fool, now he'll respawn faster
I think the coolest thing I managed to pull off in this game was gunning down one of the Shadow 160s on the initial merge. I need to make a good webl of the replay it was sick.
>>583540798how are you supposed to score anything as an EWAC?
>>583540719If a bailed out pilot gets shot down over a forest and there is no one around to witness it, is it still a war crime?
>>583540706he's got some kinda precognition. he tells you the range and bearing of some attackers in M8 before Dealer does, in M5 he knows how close the LCACs will get before the bombardment starts (900 meters)... other numbers (such as 11) are important to him for story reasons but his memory as to why is "hazy" due to being dead
>>583540621Will it even be worth it?
>>583540897<<its a matter of perspective>>
>>583540719It's ok he had a gun
>>583540949idk, probably not. i just want to finish the level cap and then be done. i'm also 96 on the battlepass.
>>583540572Yeah, the change would involve me playing several hundred games. And that's not including the grind to actually afford the planes once they're unlocked.
>>583540949Considering it's barely worth it in campaign, it better have some cool abilities. Like enhanced homing or stealth
>>583537907a very tall 10 year old.
I'm playing through with the JP dub. Tasha and Shadow 22 sound really good, he sounds a lot more like a bored aristocrat playing with his targets while Tasha definitely has that hyperactive gyaru vibe that doesnt really come across as well in EN.
>>583541012He waa trying to land a sick rendezook, entirely justified.
>>583541181I'm pretty sure the stealth jets have real stealth in warfare.
Only played the campaign once so far I missed this joke
>>583541181i played against an F35 guy the other day and he was popping on and off of the radar constantly, i'd say the stealth on it is pretty good didn't stop him from eating a bunch of LAAMs when I did get the lock though :^)
>>583541204>tasha Is it the voice cadence being different?
>>583540892ESM gives you like 3x missile reload speed plus a great homing boost. You also get bonus points for allies getting kills while in your bubble, it can add 5%-20% to your personal score.Basically you just go for air targets like a fighter, but can also delete ships and heavy howizets.
>>583541037Please post its abilities once you do get it!
Was DD just shitposting with AI images the entire time?
https://x.com/darkskryll321/status/2107293121357001100Am I just an autist for thinking all the people posting clips of them flying backwards through stuff is more stupid than anything?
>>583540572Different anon but I'll do my part, however small it may be. Here are the memepod plane abilities.
>>583541416yeahit's funny
>>583540719evil soviet airplane behaviors
>>583541318Yeah she kind of has this high pitch drawl that blends some vowels together>>583541416Its fun
>>583541354he made up 3 whole squadrons with AI edits.
>>583540719>>583541479He just.....disappeared?
>>583541354He was using them for misinformation. Whether it worked to any capacity or not, we don't know.
>>583541285on replay when trying to rush the mission and get the ace im not gonna lie my finger got really itchyi did a double pass and sure enough it was a crabthat andthe crabs on red cargo ships play tricks on your eyes, as they're white, BUT if you forget, the very much look like the white outlines of a sol
>>583541579i think so, it's hard to tell cuz i shot him from so far away. next time i get the chance to warcrime i'll wait til i get closer to see
>mission 20>"Shoot down all the shadows"LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFvENQBc-F8
Welp, after 70 hours of playtime, i got my first crashI was just changing the parts on my multiplayer phantom
Should I hold out for the Su-35 or just go with the Su-33 for Flanker drip? I just care about getting a Flanker that can serve me well>t. online shitter
>>583541748I crashed mid mission today33h in
>>583541749Su-35 is kind of meh anon, sorry to say.
>>583541581>>583541354303 and shadow had a mole so at the very least sotoan high command didnt fall for shit
>>583541749Both planes are completely irrelevant
>>583541323I might try it out then, leeching score seems fun
>>583541431Well, it's a start. Maybe some more people will post soon.Maybe I should grind more so I can actually be helpful too.>>583541749You need 150 games played before you're allowed to buy Flanker E. So if you want to wait you're going to be waiting a long time.
>>583541789>>58354192534?
>>583541440>brings the Tomcat to an A2G mission>REFUSES to bring bombsActual dumbass(affectionate)
>>583541789How so
>>583542052BIS for most ground attack missions, rivaled only by f-15e and maybe the grippythe dumb bombs are retardedly strong
Flankers will be saved by Su-37 -YLW- right before EOS, trust the plan
>>583542141it is just outclassed in points and special weapons by much lower tier aircraft even when maxed out
>>583541931Be warned that you don't have much choice for EWACS. Prowler is the early one but doesn't unlock ESM until level 20, you're stuck jamming enemies with ESM or ground pounding with LAGM. Growler is the mid tier one and is just a Superbug that can sometimes give itself + allies crazy missiles, other buddies report great success in Emergency Sorties because it boosts silly nuggets. It unlocks relatively late and ECM jamming is gatekept at level 20. Barricader gets IEWS (ESM+ECM combined) immediately, but it's an endgame unlock.
>>583542074KEK
>>583542301I think this message only plays when you plunge in water too, what a weird thing to add detail on
>>583542672>what a weird thing to add detail onDidn't Cope drown?
>>583542672nah i plunged into water a couple times on wings of wax and i got the generic tasha ray??? ray!!!! line
>>583542816yeah, but why go all the effort to do assign it there? Just make it trigger whenever
>>583542254Damn if only 6AAM got the range of the LAAMI miss the XLAA
>>583542895yeah, but this line doesn't trigger on non-water related deaths, I think?
>>583542916i'm pretty certain the Su-35 getting neutered so hard was them realizing how aids PSMs were, but not understand that it should have been removed completely or changed to not be spammable/macro-abused
>>583543007I think I got it in one of the land battleship missions once or twice.
>>583542816Honestly I think he was killed pretty much instantly by the missile.
>>583543172at the very least he either was instantly killed by fragmentation to the face, the blast, or was knocked unconscious by the blast and drowned
>>583543228We were already hearing Ghost Boy before we hit the water, so...
>>583540674Anyone?
>>583543293Literally everything but LAAMs, QAAMs, UGB(L), and LACMs are useless and throwing
>>583543354Are these all the top tier weapons or are there others?
>>583543410Very literally the only viable SP weapons right now
does anyone have a list of the tracks used in the online mode? there's a track in online that I fucking love but I can't find it anywhere, I think maybe I'm missing something or looking in the wrong place. it sounds like it's from ace combat 2 but I'm not sure if it's a remix or not made for online.
>>583543172Pretty much. His monologue was in italics before you hit the water.
>>583543068imo it feels like they were trying to consolidate 7's excessive Flankers into the Su-35 but just made it worse
>>583543641>lose infinite flankers>gain infinite hornetsI liked flankers better...
>>583543641the game just has too few planes
moist critical is playing Ace Combat right now
>>583543698the fact that we don't have an Su-37 is criminal
>>583543831It's in the files, probably for a battlepass or a dlc pack
>>583543831wasn't that kono's favorite plane OAT?they've probably cut all these planes to milk fanboys with dlc/battle passes in the future as per corporate demand
>>583538434>>583539126>terrible damagecould've fooled me
>>583543903same with the YF-23 and Raven being in multiplayer but not playable is crazy >>583543918I think his favorite is the F-22 actually, which makes sense given how many times it's the "main plane" of a game
>>583543410>LAAMsYou can get them on the F-14D. XBOXHUEG range makes it super dominant. You get to play first, which even in PVP will frustrate others as the target they want disappears long before they could shoot at it.>QAAMsMig-21 has them as its second weapon. Really good tracking makes it very easy to down air targets. For dogfighting players.>UGB(L)UGBs are the second F-4E weapon, and first weapon for Mirage. A lot of other planes also get them. Blast radius and fine damage make them very useful against high density ground targets, and current groundpounding meta prioritizes number of units killed over everything else because of how little points they give. UGBL is unique to the Su-34, it has an even bigger blast and more damage but comes with longer reload.>LACM"UGB but on a stick". High blast radius trumps multilock ground weapons because you can kill more than 6 enemies with one or two well placed bombs.
>>583543712it has more planes on launch than 7 did
>>583543410TLS if you can aim the beam
>>583543698>go to a carrier museum to scan planes>no naval F-4what was the point?
>>583544046we didn't need 4 Hornets.
Do the fly only x type of plane medals require the whole squad to be using that plane or is it a player only thing?>>583544046Still not enough.
NGL, I went in fully expecting to hate Tasha. But she gre on me. Like a fungus.Little Bee is still bae tho.And I hope DD contracts super ass cancer. Hate that smug little double Belkan
>>583544119wrong
>>583544035>LACMhow does LAGM compare, do any parts buff their radius?
>>583541675
This is your new fighter.
>>583544046it doesn't feel like it at all, there's 3 different F-15's and 4 different F-18's. there's so many from 7 they could have thrown in for the sake of it, and we know they could have since the YF-23 and Raven are in multiplayer and the Su-37 is in the files.
>>583544175DD turning out to just be a weird autistic nepobaby trying to help in the only way he knew how and was in your corner the whole time was kinda surprising to me desu. I digged it though.
>>583544119I don't understand why they felt the need for both the 18F and the 18EGrowler and the legacy hornet, sure, but what's the point of having two of these?what's the difference, anyway?F has an AESA irl, doesn't it?
>>583544046The main issue is that it isn't releasing in 2019, this game doesn't have to compete with 7 at launch, it has to compete with 7 today.
So are SPW unaffected by the fighter/multirole/attacker scaling?
>>583541675I HATE PSM I HATE PSM I HATE PSM I HATE PSM I HATE PSM
Is there a detailed data sheet on the planes yet? The ingame stat bars are worthless and there's no way to do a side by side comparison
>>583543543Pretty sure the one you're looking for is called Gravity. I bet that's it.
>>583543543seriously it would be incredible if anyone knows what that track that sounds like it's from ace combat 2 is in the multiplayer. it sounds like it starts like sunset glow or something but goes way different by about 30 seconds in.
Too many low tier planes that people aren't gonna use a lot anyways, at least 7 was heavier on the top side of the tree.
>>583544329E is one guy F is two guys.
>>583544426nah not that one, it sounds like sunset glow, it's VERY ace combat 2 coded, but it switches up about 30 seconds in.
>>583543956i'm willing to accept i might not be hitting ships in the right spot but it seemed vastly inferior to just gunning them
>>583544550right
>>583544360you're comparing a 6 year old game that had multiple post launch content updates to a game that came out a week ago and whining that the former has more planes than the latter, its retarded>>5835444858 has three fictional superplanes in the base game bee tee w, 7 had one (1) ((uno))
How did Coster make it through flight school when half of his dialogue is autistic grunting?
If you beat the game on the hardest difficulty, do you get the the medals for the easier ones too?
>>583544649yes
>>583544639It’s the scumbag hentai protagonist energy. It made everyone afraid to fail him.
>>583544649For once, yes.
>>583536637the main difference is that you can angle the SFFS to nuke high hp targets, but that doesn't really matter unless you're bombing warships and it takes setupgo with whichever you like more aesthetically or grab the fullback if you want to PSM
>>583544674>>583544693Niiice.
>>583544753yeah but now theres medals for clearing campaign in only attackers, only multiroles, only fighters
>>583544329F was required for the opening and ending cutscenes because it's a 2-seater
>>583541749Su-33 is easier to upgrade and is a pretty good dogfighter
>>583544781Didn't a previous one do that too? AC6?
Is Shattered Skies the only mainline AC still stuck on its original console?Also, is any of the spinoffs worth playing?
>>583544781>in only attackersHow the fuck?
>>583544046>4 different f18s>3 different f15s>two of the f15s and two of the f18s are nearly identical1-800-come-on-now
>i will punish them with a guided munition if necessarythe fuck kind of line is that
>>583544873F-15E or Su-34
>>583544920>>4 different flankerss>>3 different f15s>>two of the f15s and two of the flankerss are nearly identicalwtf AC7 is epic variety now??
>>583544920F-15C and F-15J are basically identical visually, it's so gay honestly
Did Cope technically get a maneuver kill in the prologue? I wouldn't be surprised if he has a handful of those since he's supposedly such a good pilot
>>583545086it is obviously a maneuver kill, Cope has at least 1 kill
>>583545086It's kinda glossed over but yes a high ranking Shadow did completely clown on themselves in the intro
>>583545132>>5835450860 points on the prologue, doesn't count as his kill.
>>583544387I want to know if the F-4 and F-2 UGBs do the same damage
>>583545192it was a regular sotoan air force fulcrum
>>583544615>you're comparing a 6 year old game that had multiple post launch content updates to a game that came out a week agoWhy is that a problem? Is it wrong to expect a tangible improvement? Doesn't help that they took away SPW from normal planes making the gameplay options even more limited.
help me bros...
>>583545339>LINE MUST GO UP>Am I wrong?Yes. You need to realign your perspective.
>Fight shadows>Notice missiles missing>Fuck must've been breaking lock at last second.>Next mission fighting moon 11>Drones have fucked off.>dead to rights in the middle of the guns crosshair and close enough that missiles cant miss and are locked on>Wait until the bitch is out in front going straight>Locked on in a straight.>Fire everything>Every fucking misses, somehow.If I wanted to play a jet that misses everything, I'd play xenonaughts or xcom and send up interceptors day in day out. What the fuck is this?Not even Milahy had this much bullshit and that faggot was invincible half the time.
>>583545495Just buy the pilot up boosters.
>>583545508Why? What's so wrong about it?
>>583545017I love the F-15, it's my favorite fighter and I wish we'd gotten the EX for a multirole F-15 but stating 8 has more planes on a technicality is silly, especially given 7 had similar issues. PA loves mixing up the roster but they despise expanding it. There's really not much reason we could have had another half a dozen planes at least.
>>583544864x is good, though i rebinded a couple buttons in emulator settings to make it control normally
>>583545339tripling the texture detail and model quality, adding an airplane class that hasnt existed since infinity, multiple aircraft that are either returning from a 20 year hiatus or are completely new to AC, coming out with a numerical advantage over the prior title at launch is not a tangible improvement, just because it has two more hornets in a game set in a navy squadron over two more non-carrier flankers? wtf kono...
>>583545662>they despise expanding it.Must be a rights problem
>>583545630If I explained it, it would ruin you grasping the truth. Try to imagine yourself in a single dev's shoes, and then expand that to an entire dev team, trying to meet that standard.
>>583545662>There's really not much reason we could have had another half a dozen planes at least.yeah there is, its called MANHOURS and DEV TIME
>>583545742Part of it is that for sure (looking at you tornado), but why don't we have the yf-23 and adf-11 flyable? They're both in the game right now.
>>583545601>be sotoan>replace shadows and moon 11 with Rex imagine how the average sotoan pilot feels lmao use QAAMs with moon 11 though, she goes down so fast when you use them. same with any other ace desu except shadow 22, he's on some zero blood infinite G's infinite energy bullshit.
>Hey Rex, got any words of encouragement?><<Yes>>>Hah... You always know what to say, Ray
>>583545884>yf-23Oh yeah, where the fuck is that thing? I saw it in multiplayer as an enemy at least
>>583545884or the harrier, or the c-130 lol
Happy to report that drop tanks do indeed move pylon positions depending on the sequence of SPWs chosen.
>>583545835Poor PA, they've only had half a fucking decade since their last DLC that actually required new models.
I've had 6 emergency sorties and 2 scrambles. What is this?
>have enough of getting raped by Morgans while I'm forced to fly a shitty fucking Phantom>buy a migger>start spamming LAAMs without thinking>MVP every fucking match>encounter a high level enemy migger>get raped by boosted LAAMs and SAAMs>decide that being a migger isn't that fun>realize all other planes I can buy are shitSo my choices are either a cancerous SASM fishbed or the funny ECM prowler
>>583545884the tornado is a totally different issue desu. panavia is owned by three separate parent companies. who do you even go to in order to get the rights for them? it's such a legal and monetary hassle to go through all three just to get the rights for a single plane. what REALLY pains me is that we don't have chinese planes in the game. politics aside, the chinese planes are fucking awesome looking. after kono mentioned right after AC7 released that the chinese engineers at Chengdu literally invited his team to discuss putting the planes in the next game since they were all such huge fans of the series, and then not getting them, is a massive letdown. hopefully they add them at some point down the line.
>>583546102you niggers would complain anyway because they didnt include your corrugated tin glupshitto 50s cigar tube non afterburning jet trainer designed by some random ex-nazi>>583546221its pretty obvious 8's take on the game is supposed to be a stand-in for the j20 considering the blatant amount of detail references to it on the model and skins
>the chinese planes are fucking awesome lookingMaybe if you squint your eyes to get the bugman perspective on things
>>583546065harrier has been in so many games but has never been playable. that being said, with this game being so carrier based, it would have been a good opportunity to make it playable this time around.
Can LAG/CM radius be buffed by parts?
>>583546221Yea I don't care for the chink planes much but I would've loved to see them. Maybe some governmental fuckhead intervened? We'll never know.
>>583546294Fook Yu Niga, the Q-5 is a fun shitplane attacker.
>>583544387Su-47's UGB feels like it does more damage than the Su-34's UGBL (in SP) if that means anything.
>>583546284the FA-36 game is just the non-COFFIN variant of the XFA-36 game from ace combat 3 though. I could see them adding that instead of the J-20 though since they couldn't get access to it, but they also made it clear they're committing to connecting the series to AC3
That scene where it was Tewi talking to the Enso representative "These Chinese fighter jets you gave us are rubbish."
>>583546391>Japs did another of their we dindu nuffin during WW2 +10% approval rating routines >Xi is also on a nationalist china numba wan streak after some internal party troublesNo one could've expected this.
>>583546156Yeah, it's pretty fucking bad. I'm using an F-16 because I like it but it's incredibly hard work trying to keep up since I effectively have a 10000 point handicap from the free kills people with LAAMs get before anyone is in range with anything else.
>>583546460>the FA-36 game is just the non-COFFIN variant of the XFA-36 game from ace combat 3 thoughyeah no shit sherlock, i didnt say otherwise
>>583546391that's what I mean though, I know a lot of people don't like them, but it would have been nice to see a bunch of new real world planes we haven't seen in the series yet. the chinese planes are a perfect opportunity for that.
I really wish we'd get a better damage model. Being in the red needs you trailing a massive smoke plume.
>>583543831The Su-35 is literally just a better Su-37 but no canards
I really need to brush up on my dogfighting maneuvers, I've gotten complacent. Forcing 50/50 jousts with high gs constantly isn't exactly smart lmao
>>583546627>no canardsyeah thats gaythe su33 looks better than the 35 because it has canards
>>583546570alright my bad, I thought you were implying they made the FA-36 inspired by the J20 since they couldn't get the J20 rights.
>>583546626The damage model we have seems to be about as good as the one in AH/Infinity, but it's not applied to player aircraft for some fuckass reason.
>>583546645You guys don't just get in turn fights where you spam high-g turns until you can get a good missile or do enough gun damage?Another few days and people will be dogfighting in QAAM F-22/Su-57 spamming PSM once you push past the LAAM volleys
>>583546284Sorry for wanting iconic aircraft like the YF-23 or S/MTD back, but I guess we should remove all non production aircraft from the game and take away even more weapons because aircraft and weapon variety is for niggers o algo.
>>583546221All of the Game's liveries being based on the J-20 felt like a small way to apologize to Chinese fans for the rights issues
>>583546645literally nothing is better at close range than a target assisted and upgraded regular fucking missile. Having a wingman is overpowered. Better than any EWS bonus. Basically as good at close range as a fully upgraded HCAA in 7 (which is now SHIT IN 8)
>>583546806as if it wasnt like the 2nd biggest complaint about 7 up until 6 days ago was that the roster was all variantslop
>>583544952The funniest thing she could possibly say
>>583546221Thing is, Typhoon is also a joint effort by the same companies that made up Panavia, so it feels extra bizarre that PA wouldn't be able to acquire it when they were both mainstays since Air Combat
>>583544952She has brain damage from all the high altitude flights clearly
>>583546627I think the 35 is the best looking because it doesn't have them>>583546793Yea that's what I'm saying, lol. You spam high gs with a guy until you're both basically jousting missiles nose to nose.>>583546929Are HCAAs that bad now? I was planning on relying on them for that little extra oomf in dogfights when I run my Strike Eagle.
ac8 dialogue feels ai generated this plot sucks compared to ac7 and mission 30 is fucking dogshit bad
>>583544952basically showing she has a god complex and is kind of fucked in the head
>>583547038I only agree with the mission 30 part
>>583546284>you niggers would complain anyway because they didnt include your corrugated tin glupshitto 50s cigar tube non afterburning jet trainer designed by some random ex-nazi I don't think that's the issue. the reason people are complaining is because there's obviously more planes in the files or in the playable game that just aren't available for one reason or another. I think people just want planes from previous games that aren't being added anymore. I would have loved if they added the F-5E as an early game fighter role aircraft to go along with the F-4E multirole and Su-25 attacker role.
>>583547029They have a more moderate ammo count now. Still do more damage and can one shot white planes. Maybe a little slow off the rail but that's almost everything without buffs now besides LAAM HVAA
>>583546626We can do better than just smoke.
>>583547071>claiming mission 30 dialogue written by AI>only mission with a fuckass AI powered submarine hellbent on destruction
>>583547038bait>>583547071I like 30. It's a victory lap to conclude the narrative. Granted, it could've been a few minutes shorter and a tad more engaging but it was alright.
black people
>>583547029HCAAs have a launch delay now, are slower, and have slightly worse tracking. They're a bit clunkier to use than in 7. Regular missiles are also shit but if an ally is targeting with you, the missile is like 3X faster and has better homing. Never go into an enemy formation unless you know what to expect from this not super well explained mechanic
>>583547216Go outside
>>583547216Post the abilities and I'll suck your dick.(I am lying and will not suck your dick)(I will be appreciative though)
>>583541193All the gforces stretched him
>>583547169That's not too bad I guess. I'll make them work. Though I assume they still won't work much against sweaties in F-22s and stuff, lol. Hoping we get cost restricted lobbies soon. Just have them rotate like GBO2.
>>583547284i only have enough ZOLL for one rn
>>583546956It was a complaint because just like 8 they don't have enough unique stuff to make up for the variants, but at least in 7 you had EMLs and TLS to spice it up.
>>583547237Same I figured out after 6-8 hours why I was getting random ESM buffs with no EW planes. So weird I thought focused targeting was just a pity bonus +5 points for not hitting someone fast enough.
simply a matter of interpretation
>>583547341TLS missing on planes is a bit sad but I'm really damn happy EMLs aren't as common anymore. that shit was a blight in AC7 multiplayer and would have been just as bad here. I'm honestly happy they kept that shit to the X-40.
>>583547237>launch delayI'm not seeing it. They are a pretty slow, though.
>>583547237>but if an ally is targeting with you, the missile is like 3X faster and has better homingFucking what, is this explained anywhere or am I just blind?
>>583547284>583547284F-35C gets >Anti-Air Attack Modification Lvl. 1>Medium-Speed Turning Upgrade Lvl. 1>F-35C Endurance Spec. Lvl. 1 (Slightly Reduces Stealth, increases onboard weapons.)
>>583547237>>583547378it's wild that this isn't explained anywhere super clearly, unless I missed something. I thought it was ESM for the longest time, but never saw the ESM buff pop up. I feel like the bonus you get for focused targeting and ESM/ECM buffing is not nearly as high considering how much help it gives.
>>583547237I wasn't planning on doing much solo dogfighting while flying the strike eagle anyways and especially not any flying into enemy teams by myself. >>583547378I figured it out pretty quickly, but they seriously don't explain that shit anywhere lol
>>583547331Well, even one would be helpful. Though don't spend the credits if you don't actually want the plane, maybe you're levelling something else and hitting max rank was unrelated.
>>583547439Ah well I'm glad EML is gone to make the unbalanced multiplayer still unbalanced but in a different way
>>583547546That seems pretty good. Especially the last one since it's not like stealth is vital. Most planes don't have stealth in the first place and they work.Thanks friend.
>>583547439how is EML going to affect co op anyway? it takes a while to reload unlike LAAM at least
>>583547567I have physically pressed my body and molested several F-35s I have worked on, I bee-lined it for the F-35.
>>583547545it looks like an ESM buff when you lock on. When I figured it out, I just followed around random teammates and was tearing through enemies who had no clue what the fuck was happening.>>583547531might be wrong, but they don't seem to have the same bore angle as in 7 when in a high G turn so I just assumed it was a >eject from hardpoint>boostsituation>t. rafale main
hey guys when can i play?
>>583547804That thing is in AC3
>>583547804Sorry buddy, anon here says no glup shittos allowed.
mgp makes ground pounding actually fun. shame it's only on like two aircraft
>>583547439>>583547671TLS seems incredibly strong now so I'm not sure EML would even be good. Most people either don't have it unlocked or don't know how to use it, but when you find people who do it only takes like a second of lasering to kill. With lag you might actually already be dead by the time you first take damage. Seems like it'd be hard for EML to keep up.
>>583546460I'm betting as we get closer to the AC3 timeline (or into it) we'll see that the real world is quite different from Simon's Simulation. At least I hope so.
>>583547958Is MGP okay for the gun-only medal run?
>>583548123as usual, yes
>>583539923>F4E>Only other plane with MGPsI really want to get good with MGPs, but with how health is scaled in this game I don't know if it's even worth it>t. bought the mig21
Type B high-g still let's you turn sharper than type A right?
the better question is how are you going to make your allies use machine guns on an MGP only run? Or can they all use endgame jets and SP weapons?
>>583548123yeah that's what i'm doing now. mgp is the only way to make it bearable lol
>>583548174In MP it absolutely annihilates the Chandelier. I have an F-4 with all MGP upgrades/abilities and every TGT pops in a couple seconds.
>>583547804AC3 still being canon means that within the next 5 years every F-35 in Strangereal will be retired and replaced by the F/A-32 Erne.
>>583548050we're already kinda there, especially with the X-40 being developed under the Darkness of Enigma project, and then that project getting claimed by GR by the end of the game. you also have expo city getting the tonitrus spear strike craters, which are placed exactly where the domes are in AC3. also almost every location in 8 has something to do with 3, including expo city and comona spaceport. honestly, it's fantastic that the true ending to 3 is the reveal that it was a simulation so Nemo could destroy every last digital copy of Dision. with it being a simulation, the next AC title has a ton of freedom on what to make. that being said, I don't think the next AC game is going to be close to AC3 in the timeline. with all the mentions of Tasha's mom being a Yuktobanian ace and Tewy being a Sotoan ace in the last war with Yuktobania, it gave off HEAVY ace combat 5 vibes when they mentioned the belkan war. I think the next game is going to be the Sotoan Yuktobanian war. we also haven't been back to the Osean continent in a long time, so it sorta lines up. Osea was in 7, but we didn't have conflict on that continent.
On mission 5 so far, any point in giving Tasha the Prowler? I tried one mission with her and didn't see her use the ECM
>>583548605You need to enable special weapon usage, right on the d-pad
>>583548506Looks like that one dumb shark with overbite meme image.
>We haven't been given the approval yet, but we have top of the line aircraft!Shooting down the newbies felt wrong but was also really fun at the same time. Am I a bad person?
>>583548605She's afraid to press the 'ON' button, even if it's her animatronic puppet of a WSO in the back actually doing the work.
So who's the better Pilot? Count or Tasha?
>>583547994Full hp to dead in .79 seconds.That's a low tier plane and not too high level either but still, holy shit.
>>583548605yes. in the beginning of the game, she doesn't shoot anyone and only distracts enemies for you or flares off missiles for you. she will use ESM/ECM though freely, so definitely put her on an EW aircraft until she starts shooting other planes.
>>583548670No, they deserve it. Would you really want to let them go so they can become better pilots while having state of the art jets?
>>583548748when is that going to be? Mission 10? 25?
i can't believe i ran into someone in a Morgan on easy controls in PVP
Is Arsenal Bird the only thing even remotely worth using 6AAM on in Online?
>>583548716>who's the better pilot>the guy who's almost on the same level as Trigger but is limited by the fact he's a normal human>or the circus girlC'mon anon
>>583548837Just keep playing it's not long
>>58354883711 I think.
>>583548836Fair enough. Death to the Sotoan newbies then.
>>583548716>Count did a full tunnel run with us and managed to land inside space elevator >Tasha was too afraid to fly into the Megafloat
>>583549007Hey, Tasha survived getting chased by Shadow22. Do you think Count could have survived Mihaly?
>>583548916Bro, you gotta tell him to switch, that's just fucking cruel, even for a furfag.
>>583548670>the dialogue at the end of the mission when you shoot down both mavisimen and both planes in ventus squadron that gunshot echoing off the radio caught me off guard
>>583549193She got off easy
>>583549192he's bringing a Morgan into PVP, as far as I'm concerned he's a gorilla nigger who deserves to get farmed
>>583549154Mihaly would kill a full squadron of 22 clones without taking a single hit, it's not comparable.
i'm assuming it's not possible to kill the ladon in mission 7 even if you cheat and teleport to it? it'd be really cool if you down'd it in 7 and then you only fight one in 15
>>583549250and you're using LAAM, no?
>>583549327no i'm using basic AAMs on the Su-34 in that clip with AGMs in a aircraft-only match lol
>>583549384Based.
>>583549310it's invincible. you can shoot out the engines for points but it still flies away
>>583549193>mfw almost instantly kill the leader of the vets after the cutscene and both the vets and newbies start panicking
>>583548670>>583549193the worst part is that the Gemma squadron FA-36's aren't even worth that many points and they get shot down so fast. it didn't feel like I was even dogfighting, it just felt like slaughter. which definitely was the point, but I like that project aces managed to reflect that in the gameplay too.
Mission 25 just keeps dragging on and on and on holy fuck I actually feel exhausted. Was this the longest mission?
>>583549584>he doesn't know
>>58354958428 is 30 minutes long
>>583549584For sure, also feels even longer as it's part of a two parter and the other part is also long as hell.
>>583549584lollmao
>>583549616>>583549620
>tfw didn't have any problem with any mission lengthI was tempered in the fires of monster hunter. After you do endless 30+ minute hunts it's hard to feel any fatigue from mission 28 going on for like 40 minutes
>>58354958428 is not even fun on replays
>Stick around for 10 missions to try and get an emergency sortie/scramble>Nothing>Show up to do my 2 dailies and quit>Arsenal Bird AND ScrambleOh so it's like that, is it
>>583547171That Brawler is still 95% combat effective. You're really only in trouble when more than half of it has fallen off
>>583537142I wanna ask this too since I have no clue how to get it too
>>583549720>>583549620It can go up to almost a full hour depending on how much you suck.https://youtu.be/-v_lk6NQA0s
>>583549584I remember thinking tango line took a long time when I was a lad
>>583549519I also went for Ventus and Gemma squadron instantly and heard them panic too, that end mission dialogue brought me right out of it though. I didn't think of it more than just extra points until then. gave me the same feeling from playing mission 11 in ace combat 0 for the first time. apparently there's 4 different end mission dialogues you can get depending on what combination you do of sparing mavisimen and both ventus pilots.
>>583549889I still think a sort of defense mission in a roguelike game based out of a VTOL base to defend your home island/country would be kinda fun. Sortie and return to base to rearm. These bases in Tango Line have always made me want to develop something like that inspired by Area 88 but there is just a glut of flight combat games that it wouldn't really have a market.
>>583550069yeah they were fucking cool. Haven't played 4 in like 10 years but I can still hear the funky beats
I'm so glad they included this fuckass song in 8.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WomZUtSfyvk
>>583537142>>583549841>look up video>what you actually need to do is destroy all ground targets in phase 1Lol.
>>583550139>>583549889They were cool, but jesus christ.
>>583550167i think that's for spawning the fishbed acearanea (part of shadow 150th) either spawns with the rest of 150th or after all the other shadows are dead, one or the other i'm not sure
I hope the people who keep leaving before the match starts get a cactus shoved up their ass
>>583550352It's probably more Bamco's fault than theirs, japs couldn't design a functional online mode to save their lives
Best store parts to get first?
>>583550315The fishbed is mission 9. The description is wrong for 8, considering I've watched two videos for it and both show the same thing.https://youtu.be/NcenLUp4DfM?t=6m49s
>>583550213Doesn't help that you WILL run out of missiles on higher difficulties and you need to plan your route accordingly. That map size was no joke>>583550436the party invite/lobby system requires so many sub menus to get working right. It's fucking hilarious
>>583550521>The fishbed is mission 9are you sure about that? I just killed the fishbed ace (Tessera) in mission 8 brother
>>583550315>>583550521>look up other guides>getting more conflicting infoI don't fucking know anymore.
Has Thousand Points of Light been datamined yet? How many enemies actually physically appear ingame? I killed about 150 off them on my first playthrough, how did I do?

>>583550980Oh.....
>>583550913the M stands for Mario
>>583550794It is weird that the Military Practice mode has a carrier and airstrip you can land atI hope PA gets off their asses and does more interesting stuff with online like that
>>583547038>Dialouge feels ai generated.It does feel like they just kept hitting enter on novelai without tweaking it at all. It's especially horrid on mission 30 as you said. I think the worst offender in that mission was the civilian news broadcasts. What kind of special breed of retards speak like those sotoans?
>>583551056>capture the flag but with planes>volleyball but with planes>king of the hill Best we can do is TDM and a couple bossfights. Also 8 shit AI opponents.
This is a bit antisemitic isn't it
>>583546645It's the only way to actually dogfight in multiplayer, if this is what you're talking about. Just impossible to get behind anyone who isn't in an attacker. The games aren't made for PVP
>>583551056they could have a challenge roulette mode where you do a series of challenges as a team and need to rotate per position like its football> land the fastest>carrier land the fastest>refuel the fastest>fly through the tunnel the fastest>fly trhough the arsenal bird hole
>>583551158i chuckled when that came up
>You can equip parts I and II of the same type of part on onlineWeirdI'm super super maneuverable now I guess
>>583551371i feel like this was a thing in 7
why did nobody tell me there were beta compositions of some AC4 tracks?https://youtu.be/eKeH_r87zDQthe fuck is this
>>583551158>people just immediately assume its (((belka))) doing thislmao
>>583551481No, you couldn't in 7.>>583551056Great idea. Hell, a survival mode would be fun.

>>583551836They'll turn it back on
Can you hear me, pilot with the five-winged symbol?
Why does PA love this mustard fulcrum so much?
total death to whoever came up with, AND whoever greenlit the way you change skins in the hangar.
>>583551836goes to show you wasted your ammo, I hope you don't expect to get any points for it
>>583550139I never really thought Tango Line was a bad mission honestly. might have helped that the song was one of my favorites too. such an instantly classic song along with Blockade.
What are aircraft sets? Said it was unlocked after completing the game.
>>583552459saved loadouts for a plane with parts and skin, pretty basicwhy does it only unlock in NG+? who knows
So, ADFX-01/02 Morgan > ADF-01 Falken > ADF-11F Raven > X-40 Nightmare > X-49 Night Raven ?
>>583552459You can set up planes so they've got all the parts, spw, skins and emblems you want on them without having to adjust anything before a missionI don't really get it either, I've just been making sets based on previous aces
>>583552459Preset planes with liveries and weapons. You can switch between normal hangar mode and preset select mode in the campaign now.
I AM SPEED
>>583551919its just a striking irl camo pattern i guess
>>583552580>Raven has a PLSL gunnah the raven is way higher than the FALKEN
>>583552459>>583552590its pretty useless too since sometimes i just want to change weapons

>>583553158you cant just find the real planes the skins are based on you stupid fuck?
>>583553215nice reddit impression
>>583549832Taking off the canopy without killing the pilot is still pretty impressive to me though.
>>583538401>AC3 "remake" where you play as Dision and fight Nemo post-3's simulations
>>5835539075 could be done with actual modernized gameplayit would sell gangbusters
>>583553301>>583553431What the hell is wrong with kids these days? Put in some fucking effort or don't bother at all, you useless waste of energy.
>>583553907dision is dead though. he was sublimated into the electrosphere before he died in 2030, which is when AC8 takes place. the sublimation lab is bombed by terrorists at some point during AC8 but doesn't get brought up.
Current multiplayer game modes don’t need to be longer, your aircraft just isn’t leveled enough or you play at a snails pace.
>>583554005A remake of 5 would be incredible. The new "FPV" storytelling would be actually perfect for it, and the rooster of plane was stellar
>>583553907>Cope is Nemo>In AC8 after Cope dies and you get rescued, they mumble some offhand lines about your brainwaves stabilizing as you wake up in medbay, and then without a moment's hesitation, they just tell you that you're Cope now and to get back to the mission, the whole sequence is weird as hell>in the final scene when you see the closeup of Cope's dogtag, it looks like a computer chip>Cope himself wasn't even the original Cope, he was just the last guy to get the chip put in him and then the chip got passed on to you>all the combat data and personality imprints of the various "Wings" candidates are on that chip and form the basis of Nemo by the time of AC3How skitzo am I?

>>583554562Crashing this plane...
All this talk about satellites in 8 and not even a reference to the best girl
So, is it safe to assume that Enso Order is (((them)))?
>>583555231Crashing the plane doesn't reload you tho...
In ACZ, do you still get another ace's data if they're shot by your wingman or must they always be shot down by you in order to get it?
>>583536961probably just keep sidestepping it, modern PA are on a way different road that's way too hopeful to do anything close to what 3 does
>>583555330well some of them are Belkan and Leasathian, so that's already bad news enough
I gotta be honest, I have no idea how the hell to fight 22 & friends I feel like there has to be some sort of opening between their 3 flare pattern and the kulbit but I just cannot fucking nail them, and if I can get the other three on what feels like blind luck then 22 just shits all over me
It feels gay to stop and grind MRP during the campaign but it's that or hit the climax with the high end shit still locked and feel like a scrubOn that note I need a carrier-based plane besides the basic Hornet, between the F/A-18E and the F/A-18F which is better? F can slot a bunch of missile upgrades but LASMs are super situational, E is more balanced but 6AAMs will run dry really fast on Elite and I won't have the dosh to buy the QAAMs after getting itSu-33 is technically available too but it's barely cheaper
>>583555521the last guy always seems to get gigabuffed in these boss fights, the only way to reliably kill these guys is the machine gun, don't bother with the missiles too much other than baiting them into kulbits, they are wide open like that
>>583555521planes come with big machine guns for a reasonor you can sasm his ass
FAEBs are so fucking OP in 0, holyfuck
>>583555284what, shooting at bailed out pilots wasn't enough of a reference for you?
>>583555653MPBM and TLS too for some reason, it's like they don't give a fuck about balancing anymore
>hey let's take a pretty agile and stable plane like the F-18 and make it fly like a fucking boatlame
>>583555720she does hum the mappy theme all the timeI guess she really is a proto-Shadow

>>583555478Okay, google. Thank you, google.
>>5835557640, not O.
>>583555539for me it's E>I won't have the dosh to buy the QAAMs after getting itDude, it's dirt cheap?
>>583543354LASM is also situationally OK on some missions since target ships have retarded HP.
>>583555784Starter plane curse, Super Hornets fly fine
>>583555539F/A-18E SOD are better than ever with all the parts that buff them.
>>583555284when I first saw the tonitrus satellite, I genuinely thought we were going to smack the shit out of it with an ASM-135 or something. it would have been really sick climbing straight up, swapping to the ASAT weapon, and then seeing a target box show up in the dark sky over something you can't see visually followed by a lock tone. you fire the missile, the music cuts, you watch it soar up towards the target in silence, and then the music drops when you see "DESTROYED" show up on your screen. it would have been peak.

i was just replaying mission 13 for my ace playthrough and it's got me wondering, how tf are we shooting manpads with heat seekers?
>>583556017LACMs still destroy them, there is no point in fielding LASMs
>>583556146same way I was shooting windmills with heatseekers back in Zero
>>583556060NTA, I never really used SOD in previous games. I gave them a go in 8 the other day and while I found I was able to pull of some silly stuff with them, I found myself wishing I just had SFFS.
>>583556146Same way we did in AC5, idk
>>583556130I don't use chatgpt, just thought of the F-15 picture with the ASM-135 when the game first showed the tonitrus satellite.
>>583556146they're grillin while they wait for the c130
>>583556146the same way we did to RPG infantries in X
>>583556146optical tracking and datalink. don't think about it too hard.
>>583556146AWACs is a god who decides who lives or dies
>>583556118are we dead ass not getting X-02 variants anytime soon? Oh well I'll get CFA-44, I hope ADMM is not botched in this game.
Here's an idea for bumco. Make munitions actually cost some form of currency that you have to purchase or earn in order to load it onto your plane. The more efficient - the more expensive. Planes themselves must also be purchased with another form of currency.And they don't get automatically repaired either, you must use yet another type of currency in order to repair them.Oh, and if you lose your plane - it's gone, forever. Until you purchase another one, of course. So make sure it's always repaired. Where do I apply?
I'm starting to think that playing with a controller is worse than just using kbm.
>>583556405>Make munitions actually cost some form of currency that you have to purchase or earn in order to load it onto your plane. The more efficient - the more expensive.Just play X2 lil bro
I apologize DD.

>>583556146How tf are we carrying dozens of missiles?How tf are we proficient at flying completely different planes?How tf a teenager (a foreigner to boot) was allowed to fly a combat plane?

>>583556979Is there a decomp of the ps2 trilogy?
i wonder what the team in each game does between missions. the waiting, the training, the boredom. the constant moving between bases and reading aircraft manuals prior to flying each new plane. the days and weeks spent recovering and staring up at the ceiling on long nights without sleep that the player never gets to know because it never appears in the missions. i wonder what sort of things the team members talk about during their most private, honest moments
>>583556979guess i'll try it after I'm done with my ace + no dmg run later
>>583556983They never give the drones to the Nosferatu, it'll probably have ECM like the Morgan

>>583546221couldn't they just... not ask any of them and put the plane into the game anyway? who's going to sue them? the company that doesn't own the rights to the name and depiction of the plane?
Does every plane have a different ejection animation for mission 13?
>>583557797Japs are very autistic about that kinda stuff

>>583557640Where'sthedatinggame
>>583557909Well it depends on the mission anon-chan. I assume Tasha tries to put a brave face and annoys her dad, Jenkins, whoever, Coster asks Rex to listen to music with him, Baxter probably listens to "100 math problems to keep your brain sharp at 50" audiobooks while lifting weights, Tasha looks like she'd be into reading.

anyone know where to find all the squadron emblems / roundels in high quality?
do those mfs finally added coop missions to the game or it's still the same campaign yapfest as 7 was?
>>583558172Depends. The JF-17 and J-31 are. A lot of their planes are just variations of Russian/Soviet planes. The J-10 looks like a eurodorito but also like the IAI Lavi. Honestly you get into civil and rotary wing aviation, they start taking a lot of cues from Euro designs.

I'm doing the NO DMG run with using only ATTACKERS planes for the medals.I tell you, the end of the line part for the ablative damage is a must.I got hit by 3 railguns, 1 MSL and plenty of AA Airbust fire and i'm still ad 0% DMGI wouldn't imagine completing this game without that part, there's just too much AA that can plink you even for that 1% dmg and fuck you up.I honestly dread the fast bombers and megafloat missions
Cope better give me a fucking ghost job after mission 20
>>583559108I did manage to fuck up refueling but how the fuck do you fuck up a landing lol
gang i thought banker squadron was supposed to die in m15?
>>583559315I just can't with carriers, refuelings are fine but carrier landing has always been the bane of my existence.
>>583543354What about SFFS, LASM and 6AAM? I'm guessing the latter no longer has big range + spam to boot?
>>583559108If you orient your plane such that the flight path indicator (on your HUD, the circle with the three lines coming out of it that moves around a lot) goes over where you want it to go,and you're not careening towards the flight deck or runway at an unreasonable angle,then you'll be just fine.Once you get the indicator where you want to be, you don't need to touch much else. The carrier doesn't actually move at an oblique angle to you. Minor corrections as needed.You can do it bro!!!!
finished the ladon off with a good ol joust
>mfw 66k score MVP from repeatedly smacking a Morgan with my gripen's SASMsdohoho, not so nerfed as it seemed, delightfully devilish
Does plane cost increase the score people get from shooting you?
What if 7 and 8 had the same damage scaling as 5 and 0. Like in 0 if you're on Expert/Ace you get hit by one missile - you're toast. That same Ace difficulty in 7 and 8 is so lenient when it comes to how much stuff you're allowed to "eat" before you die. The AA guns, especially, are a joke in nu-ACs compared to what they are supposed to be. You could say that the missions are now longer and have more shit going on, which is fair, but there are also checkpoints now.
>>583559719sorry but we cannot go back to the old AA guns, I refuse
>>583559719fatsia would be a dark souls level
>Plane notorious for being unable to turn>Highest turn rate at high speedHow much did putin pay
>>583559332They were shot down, not KIA.
>>583559834they didn't even get shot down in my mission though is what i mean. that's the end of the mission right there
>>5835597192-3 AA pixels and you're dead in prehistoric AC, you don't want that shit
>>583559404LACM > LASM since you can use C against all ground while S is ship only and you only get a handful of ship targets each mission.
>>583557814From what I've heard, no. Seems like they all do the over-the-head pull even though most aircraft have it between the legs.
do people not like wings of wax? I felt like the twist of them not truly being XB-70s was done well
>>583559719I'm with the others on this one, old AAs on Ace were so fucking busted, if you still want that crazy challenge just go for the no hit medal without SAAMs or LAAMs.
>>583559989Fuck this fucking mission, juggling between the missiles, your shitty targeting system and your speed is just not fun
>>583559868Oh shit, I dunno, I guess you shidded on the XB-70s so hard they didn't have time?
https://youtube.com/shorts/9ViQifN6yxEIs it widely agreed upon that this is the best intro of the series, and best intro to a game ever?
Wait... how am i supposed to do the BE FAST AND KILL THE LASERS mission with... this?
>>583559989It would have been an awesome mission if they'd been given more hit points and killed the jammers, or left the hp as-is and made the jamming intermittently die out for a few seconds. Following contrails through clouds sucked ass. I just gave up and waited for the next attack run to start at the end, still got S rank.
>>58356021815E or 34 should work
>>583560168mmmmm not really
>>583560278Carrier only here.
>>583560253Put your friends in Su-57s, F-35Cs, or F-22As and press up and left on the D-pad when you start.
>>583558852>Physintkojima really needs to stop making gameshe peaked 20+ years ago
>>583560278But i cannot carrier take off with anything but A6EOr do the free missions for completing campaings with only a specific type of aircraft work?And if that does work, should i replay all missions that i did with an attacker until now?
>>583560346meant for >>583560218
>>583560329the classic 'drop bombs at the big ship' tactics then? The time you kill them should be enough to cover your lack of speed?>>583560417pretty sure the medal says 'campaign' so it has to be campaign
>>583557562>Merry Christmas, Mr. LawrenceI kneel
>>583559794>>583559879>>583560040Okay, maybe you're right about the old AA being complete cancer, although I still think it should at least deal more than what it does now.What about missile damage? If I'm not mistaken, on Ace you can facetank up to 3 (?) missiles before you go down. Shouldn't at least that be revised, considering there are flares now.
>>583560380He just needs to return to his true roots and revive Tokimeki Memorial
>>583560417Anything that says "complete the campaign" means you have to do the story missions, no free mode allowed.
>>583560479So i cannot take anything but the A6, and >>583560436 neither F22 or SU57 can carrier take off, so i'll just give em the F35.And how the fuck would i do the Wing of Wax mission?
>>583560514>AceYou'll get either one shotted in most crafts, 2 if you're lucky or in a tankier plane
>>583560562man, you're already making me scared of my attacker only attempt, maybe stack 2 top speed parts?
>>583559919Wait, you can't target ground in general with LASM anymore? That's kinda gay.
>>583560562Yeah, it sucks but at least your wingman can still be in OP bullshit.>Wings of WaxGun is your friend. Same deal though, force your wingman to focus on your target and stay with you. Attacker is by far the worst, I tried to do guns only and attacker at the same time, lasted like 6 missions before I said fuck it, did it with multirole in an F-4 'cause MGPs.
>>583560759I mean, you can shoot them whenever, but I don't think it gives you a reticle or anything, so you're blind firing a dumb missile. Might as well switch to UGBL and take out 4x the explosive radius while having a reticle at that point.
>>583560931You can target ground targets with the LASM. But it's just hitting that 1 thing.
kek owned
Isn't this automatic? You can't finish unless you shoot them all down, and yet...
>>583561239wingman kill?
>>583561187This guy knows a crab is not a sun.
>>583561187>launches drones anyway
>>583561417you know it would help if you give us the emblem in the briefing screen
>>583561187We should do a competition to see who cana pop the most cargo ships before they end the mission.
https://youtu.be/wpPt0PC56jMhahaha what the fuck
>>583561187honestly I'm more curious about the ship civvies reaction towards this mission
Been playing 8 and have been enjoying it when given the time between work and anime, although I was curious what is the best way to experience AC multiplayer. I've only played 1-5 and X and was in the middle of a playthrough of 0 before taking a short break before 8, admittedly I have it for PS5 because I don't have much storage on my PC but I do own 7 on PC and have heard about Infinite being playable. I was mostly curious if newer generally = better multiplayer experience or if there was a consensus on which was was best.
>>583562010>AC>multiplayer experience
i want rena to deepthroat me
For the "use X only for the entire campaign" run, can you give your wingmen non-X planes? And do you need to do it on Ace or can you go with a lower difficulty like Elite or Veteran?>>583562010None of the other games really have multiplayer, and 7's is dead and deservedly so8's isn't great but it's the best we've got, and it can be fun if you manage to avoid all the bullshit (it's hard to avoid)
>>583561450Shitty phone screenshot but it was pretty clear ingame
>>583560678Man i tell you, it's challenging but bombing the fucking podarges with UGB was fun as fuck>>583560823I know that guns is my friend, but i'm just guessing how in the hell will i catch those bastards with a fucking A6 lmao
>>583562124Your wingmen's planes don't factor in at all. Only your own plane counts.
>>583535835>Sotoa pissed off their entire neighborhood with their little tantrumI'm going to be surprised if they're still a nation by the next installment.
>>583562361We're going borderless anyway!
>>583562081>>583562124I'm still new to this series so I was curious if I was really missing out on anything. only dog fight multiplayer games I've played were star fox 64 and a burnt copy of propeller arena on DC with friends splitscreen. I may check out 8's while it's relevant, but having to suffer paying for a month of PSN is slightly annoying, but that is my punishment for owning the PS5 version along wit being the owner of said console.
I dunno why you guys were shitting on the FA-36, this thing fucks
>>583562412welcome to the club, buddy :D
Tell me about the battle pass. How cancer is it? What do you get in the free and what in the paid track?I assume the free one is entirely worthless.How do you get stuff after a season is over? Are you just fucked?I don't want to pay full price if this is as greedy as it seems.
>>583562410Not till 2080! There's still 50 years before the United Government is formed!
having fun with free flight
Which AC game has good replayability?I just upgraded my controller from the same family as the one that sunk the titan submarine, to an 8bitdo with vibration and cool stuff.I've played 4, 5, 0 and 7, and i like the ps2.
>>583562651
>>583562410Pixy won...
>>583562576I remember reading somewhere that most of the stuff in the pass will be available after the season ends, for a price>>5835626575 has a few alternate missions that depend on a choice you make at one point0 has the Ace Style missions + different missions you can choose to do5 has up to 5 alternate routes with branchesX has a branching campaignAlmost all the games are made with multiple playthroughs in mind, too, since Ace difficulty isn't unlocked initially and there are medals and stuff you can unlock for certain campaign playstyles (no damage, all machineguns, all attackers, etc.,)Since you haven't played X yet I'd highly recommend it, it's a great game despite being stuck on the PSP
>>583562361General Resources is probably going to buy the nation wholesale just like they will do to Usea
So what was the point of nomad huts on a goddamn mega float? For larping?
Pixy probably died in that war.
>>583562954Someone, post it
>>583562776>EmeriaEstoVAKIAAAAAAAAAAA
>>583562576>How cancer is it?Surprisingly BP progression isn't that bad. Doing weeklies and dailies is more than enough to get you full BP.>What do you get in the free and what in the paid track?Customization shit, boosters, most importantly - general blueprints which are used for plane leveling past level 10(or 15 I don't remember).Paid is more of that, and Pixy's ADFX-02 on top.Free also gives you 100 ace coins, paid gives you 400 more on top of that. Pass itself costs 1000, so that shit is retarded, worse than f2p and is not sustainable.>How do you get stuff after a season is over? They said they're going to be selling planes separately when season's over but not specified what exactly, will it contain skins and stuff.
>>583562657for story, 3 JP with the english translation is my favorite, for gameplay it's a toss up between 2, 4, and 0.
>>583557085We've seen Tasha and Coster play basketball. Tasha and Baxter probably work on maths homework together, Coster likes to chill, watch the sunset, and play his guitar (and probably listen to his records). Everyone probably gets pulled into the XO and Dealer's poker games from time to time (Cope died owing them money). It's actually Kate and Cope that I have the least answers for. Kate does strike me as a reading sort of person, or maybe drawing or painting. We know Cope used to gamble and get out of his debts by being charismatic, but I imagine outside of those moments, he was quite quiet and reserved.Oh, and Jenkins exists. It's a shame he doesn't show up outside of like two cutscenes.
>>583562776>Misspells it twiceCome on man
>>583562889Can i use pcsx2 or do i gotta install another emulator.I tried electrosphere, but as cool as the massive branching story and soundtrack seem, its just far to dated for me and not in the charming way i usually think of for ps1 games.
>>583563060Cope spent time on the flight deck mumbling >muh prairie muh wind muh sea
>>583562954Yeah, larping. Sotoan high command is made up pretty much entirely of upperclassmen from prestigious sedentary chieftaincies, but they like to pretend that they know what the plains people have to live through.
>>583563071>Can i use pcsx2You can, for 4, 5 and 0 that is.
>>583563071X requires PPSSPP, which is pretty easy to setupYou should also grab Ostrich's HD texture pack for it too, which should have instructions attached on how to set that up, it's been a while so I don't remember exactlyStill, definitely worth it
>>583563060>Conspiracy theory springs up saying that Cope engineered his disappearance to duck his gambling debts
>>583563030>>583562889That sucks. I was looking forward to the game but there's no way I'm paying 70€ for this nonsense.
>>583562412Great to have a new player. I hope you enjoy it enough to play the older games at some point. The only one you should avoid at all costs is Ace Combat: Assault Horizon.
>>583562412Welcome to the club buddy.Try playing the MP, it's the best we have but it's not good, unfortunally.Also you should TOTALLY play the other entries. The "holy trinity" AC4-5-0 emulated for PS2, then you can now (lucky bastard) play AC6 recomped on PC at 60 fps, and then play AC7.If by then you want more, i suggest you play AC3 (the translated JP version) and ACX (PSP emulator) After this, you should play AC Assault Horizon, to understand how much "it's so over" we went into.You've got plenty of amazing content to play.
>>583563127>this sucks>my jet is too loud>the onions burgers are awful>I wish I was on the prairie in Sotoa tending to my sheep
>>583563060Kate does paint the five wings over the X'd Wings emblem, though Jenkins also paints so maybe they had to share a bucket
>Immortals screaming in the background how they are literally invincible and will never die thanks to wings while Tasha is shrieking in grief after Kate got shot downUhhh.... Pew pew missile boom?
I'm the only person in this thread whose first game was 6
>>583563379Propaganda vs RealityI honestly loved the juxtaposition
>>583563439Probably, but that's not a bad thing, like at all.It means that they managed to snag at least 1 (one) person into the series from the xbox by raping their PS fanbase
>>583563595It's not their fault that Sony made their console impossible to work with early on.
>>583563439Nope, it was mine too.I was so proud of the garuda xbox profile emblem when I got it back then.
>>583563292oh yeah I played through most of the early games as noted here >>583562010, all mostly original hardware save for the PS1 entries, but I did buy a JP copy of 3 after I 100% completion. still need to finish Joint Assault one day, 6 is next but unless therre was an easier guide to set it up, I couldn't for the life of me get the recomp up and running, but I have a BadAvatar 360 with AC6 installed. Horizon looks interesting in a not great but still kinda fun way(?) may also check out Hawx and I also own Project Wingman.
I still enjoy not being able to play the game
if nagase is still alive then technically blaze is still alive because she stil needs a good dicking fro. destroying 2 super subswhere the fuck is he. trigger should still be alive too. probably exhauted from dicking scrap queen but why cant they mention other aces
>>583563742I forgot to mention I also have Sky Crawlers but that one seemed kinda weird, still need to atch the movie. was curious about the actual novels but I forget if I had a hard time tracking the e books online or if the physical books were available in english.
>>583563883I like to think Blaze helped Nagase pilot Pilgrim One
Why is the Gripen C so fucking overpowered in Zero? What the fuck?

>tfw no /aceg/ girl to roleplay as your fav AC girl
>>583563742Not him, PW is fantastic, HAWX are tedious slogs, and Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces (played with a controller, not wagglan) is one of my favorite Project Aces games of all time, absolutely fantastic, and the movie is increible (if a slow burn) too. I always recommend watching then playing those in these threads because it's such an amazing experience, especially when you realize Teacher is Cheetah.

>>583564509If they go back to pre-rendered cutscenes that cuts A LOT of dev time because I imagine trying to make every one of AC8's cutscenes in-game using real assets took a lot of time, and they ended up being..... not worth the effort honestly.I don't care about being able to "look around". I don't care about Pressing A to "shake hands". Just go back to full pre-rendered movies.
>>583564609this is me with airfix dogfighter

They're not scaling it down unless this bombs financially, which it didn't.

>>583565876I hate it. Hate hate hate it. The worst fucking middle ground possible. It would be SICK as FUCK to be able to walk around between missions and for cutscenes, but instead we're just sitting there locked like a floating camera. I'd much rather have the anime stuff between missions if they can't make the area actually explorable. Like imagine if Fort Grays was exploration and you could sneak into one of the bunker sections that's been abandoned and maybe have a Resident Evil-esque puzzle that when solved opens up a hangar with a cool mothballed aircraft like a F-15 STOL/MTD or something.

Man, the daily cap on blueprints from raids really sucks. If you get raids when you're already at the cap it feels bad, and if you don't get raids when you're not at the cap that feels bad too. I got scrambles today but no raids and now it feels wasted but it's not like I can fix it. Even if I play for hours it still might not give me the raids I need. This shit sucks.

They got told not to go in, but these little rookies thought they could make up for experience with wheelchair planes.The Yellow Squadron (fake) massacre at Megalith made me feel bad because they were all clearly rookies hastily trained and sent to be slaughtered just to try to delay ISAF's ace from wrecking their desperate plan.

>>583550139>>583549889I wonder if we'll ever see these again in another AC. Seems like a fun natural obstacle.
>>583564509Honestly if they just reuse most of the sound design and mechanics and just add on more stuff it'd work out fine. After that I guess the biggest things to work out would be to have an engaging story, cutscenes, music and some extra weapons/boss stuffs.Guess it depends on how much they want to "re-develop" the game for AC9, any spinoffs or DLC. I'm not sure Unreal Engine 5 is getting abandoned any time soon and they spent a lot of time developing the cloud system with it.
>LB No.2>Expo City >Fatsia>Gemma Sq They did such a good job with the background radio comms in this game. Harrowing stuff.
