reposting this in the hope that hat anon sees it
Rex, that is a terrible formation for this mission, what the actual fuck are you thinking
IT'S NOT ENSO IT'S BELKA!!!!!!!!!!
Reminder that if you have a level 20 plane you should post the ability list and help the rest of us make informed decisions.
>>583568172I was so sad when it got revealed it wasn't Belkans, come on man the setup was perfect
I wish the game had a more realistic flight model while retaining everything else that makes it cool
>>583568273*snaps wings*
>>583568258>>583568172IT IS BELKA:::::!!!!!
>>583568228I'm not helping you mental midgets with anything
DOW Chemical don't give a shit, napalm sticks to kids.
>>583568172>>583568304>GR group interns do it FOR FREE
>>583568228nigga you don't need to max a plane to know everything it unlocks
>>583568140what does /pol/ have to do with something you can actually SEE? Stop drinking fluoride it makes you retarded
Is the campaign alone worth the full price?I don't care about multiplayer.
Something weird happened with the matchmaking earlier and it gave me a few games with only four/five people and the rest bots (who don't do anything, none of them got a single point). It turns out the game is way more fucking fun that way. No fighting each other for targets since there are more than enough to go around, actually having to try to get S rank instead of it being automatic with several minutes left.They need to make this a selectable option, it's so much more fun.
>>583568172>>583568304I know who you are
>>583568449for me is a big, big, BIG «YES»If you actually like Ace Combat obviously
>>583568397It's more effort going into the level list and checking that way though. I figure most people are going to be like >>583568338 so I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.People with max level planes are also more likely to want to post since they'll want to show off.
>>583568497Everyone I don't like is a Belkan instigator, a book for basic dickheads
>>583568449If you're a fan of AC yes, if it's your first AC game ever I'd try another one to see if it's something you vibe with before buying this one at full price.
>>583568449have you played an ace combat game before? if not you could just start with 7 or pirate and emulate the older titles before buying
>>583568497>Whitest Belkan nationalist
Jenkins > Avril
>>583568756Hey now, Avril would have been even better if she actually interacted directly with Trigger in that fashion.
its been days and cripple woman song is still in my head make it stop
>>583568756>yes, but
>>583568130Oh yeah? Watch me.>picks Spitfire to fight Shadow-22
i think the hand sign is wrong. i shouldnt be doing cripple hands
here's a cool shot taken with the otis_inf plugin photomode
If you guys think the current online is cancer, just wait till next month and the release of the X-40 battle pass and tier three plane parts for sale only with premium currency.
>>583569214But we still need to unlock the oil and lubricants and the energy drinks.
>>583569214This implies that they're going to update it at all with how many players already bounced off it. The lobbies are dead and take forever to find a match and when you do there's good odds it's the same people from days ago
Are the battlepass planes playable in SP? I'm tempted to mess around with the Morgan on some missions.
>>583568979I hope she got her leg fixed after the war.
How do you get this ace? I shoot down every Shadow in that mission, yet I don't grt anything.
>>583569410You can use the morgan in SP once you've beaten the campaign once
There should be an online mode where you get AI squad members that you can train like Dragon's Dogma pawns/Smash Bros amiibos>>583569410Yep, provided you've been the campaign once already
>>583568130>>583569143>tfw you learned a Skyraider shot down a MiG-17 and a Hawker Sea Fury shot down a MiG-15imagineimagine having to explain to your superiors you got shot down by a fucking prop job
>>583569474I think you just missed some, or maybe some friendlies outside of your squadron shot a shadow down?
>>583569539Same mode should also have a Shadow of Mordor nemesis ace system.
>>583569374>people no longer play Infinity revival>people no longer play AC OnlineWhy does nothing I'm looking forward to ever work out, it's not fair>>583569410Yes, but you have to finish the campaign once first.
>>583569585>The Sabers that tried to intercept biplanes that just stalled into the ground>The singular confirmed Mig-21 in Vietnam that lost to a B-52 tail gunner
>>583569585Just wait until you hear what the Po-2 has a confirmed kill on.
>>583569638>Enemy AI squad as your squad's nemesis>They learn from their defeats/victories against youThat'd be amazingYou could make a whole game out of just that
>>583569692>Why does nothing I'm looking forward to ever work out, it's not fairThere's loads of people playing, I just had a near instant queue with everyone (well most everyone) was levelling up whatever jank they wanted..
>Try to leave Ventus Squadron alive to hear the unique after mission dialogue>Tasha shoots both of them down in the background while I was ground poundinghuh
Bravo 2, DAMN IT, COME ON GUYS!
>>583570382She went from being traumatized over killing to getting good at it real quick
>>583570382i want to smell her so badis it vanilla or strawberry???
>it isn't Belka, what do you mean the X-40 looks like a bigger even more Belkan looking Falken? Take your meds you schizo. Enso Order isn't infiltrated by Belkan national interests.
I sure wish this boat would turn just a little faster.
KINO
>>583570391Why does it do that? Even when everybody readies up immediately it still yells at you sometimes.
>>583570858I wasn't expecting it, but I really came to like DD by the end.
>>583570858>>583570931same here.It was sooooooo set up for him to be the spyAt the end he was the GOAT
>>583570858
>>583570873I think it’s meant to be hyping your team up, but the delivery of the line sounds more like a reprimand.
>>583570547fish, like every girl with colored hair
>star-bound bird>comona base>this is ESM Magnolia. we're almost there>nagase>air superiority secured. repeat air superiority secured>launching baxter to spaceIt's so peak. If only ever mission was like this rather than mission 14 and 16.
i fucking lost it when cope called moon 11 a fucking sotoan larper lmao
>>583571317>Good luck party people!Magnolia is a bro
>>583570858>entire game about manipulation, deception, and misinformation>the only way he can get everyone to believe him is by raw, unfiltered emotion and footage and pleads for his words to get throughMission 30 is just as kino as the preceeding missions
>>583571318I need that ww1-ww2 plane ace combat and no, fuck sky crawlers I wish to obliterate Belkan filth in my glorious Spitfire as God intended
Would be funny if red baron larpers became the new LAAMs
>>583571303even better
>2AAMwhy
3rd place on my team btw
>>583572013kneel to the LAAMGods
My Ace Combat Zero just crashed. And I was in the middle of Mayhem. Cool.
>>583571562Don't shit on Sky Crawlers, man, it's fucking amazing. I would totally be down for a WW1/2 era Ace Combat game, though.
>>583569637I swear I am doing just that. That cutscene where Tasha kills a Shadow, that's scripted right? You can't stop it from happening? I swear I am shooting down every Shadow, and it doesn't unlock
>>583572013There's a part of me that wonders if I shouldn't just give up actually playing the game and just become an ESM support slut
If we get DLC missions, I think there's good odds that La Chanteuse will be involved.
>>583572479ESM can be fun if you're aggressive with it, dont sit in the back with your thighsocks on
>>583572403I have the same problem with sky crawlers (game) I have with Assault Horizon and JA. Not Strangereal, the goal is killing Belkan/Erusean/Sotoan scum. I like sky crawlers (movie)
>>583572456i mean idk, seems to be guaranteed, does it not spawn on low difficulty? did you miss the QTE ?
>>583572456I like this guide:https://youtu.be/pm_jAXjVRUI
>>583572532I think i'd like to see a DLC on the enso order bullshit they're doing on AI and sublimation. It probably would have to be post story, so i don't know if it would fit.What are the other options, realistically ? I know we can't predict it (alicorn was out of fucking nowhere) but i'd like to hear what others have ideawise.
San Salvacion has got to be the most cucked nation in Strangereal
>all the fun shit is time gated or behind rngWHY????I JUST WANT TO GRIND THE BOSS FIGHTS I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE REST
I'll be pissed if the DLC isn't 2 years after the war and it's us running a stealth plane to the X-49 Night Raven testing sight to see what the fuck GRL is doing at Port Edwards.
>>583572742I don't get how you can like the movie but hate the game, since it's the same universe and all. You should be able to separate the two franchises, man. That's like saying you hate Zone of Enders because it's not Metal Gear Solid, despite liking all the Z.O.E. anime series. It's just nonsensical.
>>583573035*siteFucking autocorrect.
>>583572984But you'd be grinding money too fast and we can't drip feed you fast enough, please understand
>>583573134Read his post again.
>>583572898>>583572908Yeah these are the guides I'm following. But nothing. Either this is oddly bugged (which I doubt because no way I could be the only one), or somehow someone else is stealing the kill. But I swear I'm shooting them all down.
>>583573314No.
>>583573376smug bastard...
>>583573376>does nothing but self-aggrandize>shoots his own allies>dies like a bitchWhat the FUCK is this guy's problem
>>583573708Don't forget>cucked by a literal ghost
>>583573708He is a Char.
I HATE LAAMSI HATE LAAMSI HATE LAAMS
>>583573708You forgot>vice president of the sotoan larp society>his waifu is president of the larp society>his waifu who thinks that the mute bloodless psychopath is the king of his fucking religion
>>583573926*SASM's you*now what
>>583574046at least you had to be in close range to do that
So what were the Terminus Fingers at the end
I think Sotoa, for their war crimes, should be burned down to the grou-Oh wait, they did it themselves already, now what.
>>583574382Burn down their other megafloat
>>583574254More or less the Sotoan combination of the Reaper and a destruction god, from the sound of it
Posting to help the buddies in the last thread who want to make an aircraft abilities list
>>583570873I think it happens when you fly a plane type that isnt recommend
>>583574481They can keep that one, we need a place to contain them in anyway.
>>583574597Oh right, forgot we were doing that. F-4'd probably already been recorded, but oh well.
Do you think we'll ever escaoe Eusea again?We still need a game that actually takes place in Verusa.
>"""Co-op""" mode but actually you're encouraged to play like the biggest nigger possibleWho came up with this
You are ECMaxxing right anon?
>>583574597
ground attack need a points multiplier for killing ground units
Anyone else have a split-second thought we might be getting a Leaving Atmosphere homage when they brought up going to space, just before revealing the STS?
>>583575845>muh brainless point and click retard play style needs a buff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Learn to play the real game faggot
Early days, but it's a start.
>>583576047Because clicking LAAMs requires so much skill, right?
>>583574780They literally turned into larpers due to being contained, we need to kick them out from their homes, like Cope
>>583576191More then you'll ever have
IMPREGNATING TASHA WITH TWINS SO SHE CAN WRITE A POSTCARD TO BAXTER
>>583576502Anon-
>Judex survived just to have a building fall on himBrutalI know Assault Records can be cruel but 8's especially seem pretty rough>>583575951Yeah I thought that was where that was headed
>>583573347Try destroying all the ground targets before the LCACs make it to shore. Im pretty sure the description is wrong.
>>583576502Coster...
>>583576502Baxter-
>>5835766898 in general is just a lot more vicious and I'm kinda surprised we didn't get enemy chatter when the first Battleship fucking flipped
>>583576689I was kinda shocked to see someone get literally shot on screen, with blood and all
>Hey Ray what was your real name again?>oh so is Abyssal like a nickname they gave you?>your parents named you Abyssal? And your legal last name is Dision?>I'm just gonna stick to calling you Ray if that's ok.
>>583575710>long range spec>on the longest range missiles in the gameNo fucking wonder 50% of my matches have a 14D mvp.
>>583575845It should be like a combo meter where killing ground/air units continuously builds up a multiplier, so you're incentivised to focus on your jobAnd occasionally having to knock out an air or ground target that's menacing you wouldn't just kill your combo either, just slow it down or decrease it a little
any good resources for learning dogfighting? I feel like I'm not playing properly. I kind of just try to stay behind an enemy the entire time and blast them with missiles but that seems wrong
>>583577045It was a name given to him by his good friend Coster, please understand
>>583577045Anon...Dision died a month before the end of the war.
A Sotoan and a Belkan walk into a room
>>583576995><<Holy shit-- FUCK-- OW!>>
>>583577769The "That's what she's called when she's got bedhead" comment had me fucking laffin. This game's comedy writing is legitimately great.
>>583577812Dision's death:May 14th, 2030Operation Lunar Eclipse:April 1st, 2030>dision died a month before the end of the war>????????
>>583577667campaign or online? You can check out the multiplayer guide for 7 in the OP. Or record a video so we can give you some pointers
>>583576995They all died on impact, the FCU infantry was then double tapping their broken bodies and pretending there was still anybody left alive in there to have an excuse to take as long as possible and avoid being deployed to an actual frontline
>>583578074The ceasefire was signed in August. That's the official end of the war. The King-1 epilogue scene takes place after that.
>>583578074De-jure war ended later, as explained in game itself.
>>583577047Miggers get even worse on top of having QAAM access and retarded turn rate :LAAM rangeAA attack modSpeed High altitude SAAM radiusQAAM range
>>583578074I swear you fuckers don't read or pay attention to anything
How do I use HPAA? Or is it simply useless? How come they gave GAME meh weapons? It's this game's superplane but they treat it like shit
>>583577047>The tomcat is a sniper is news to peopleTop gun really was a smear campaign
>>583578240>>583578243>trippy scene where we hallucinate birds flying next to us>magically teleport Cope's dogtags to the Sotoan surface from our hand in an F-18>definitely the vision of a living mindYes anons, you are so right. Our seeing a vision of the afterlife and hallucinating computer chip tagged bits of metal teleporting was 100% a real living vision.
>>583577667More practice... across the entire series, that is.AC04 mooks tend to pull you into a lead position in dogfights, which is ideal for practicing guns.The Yellows in 04 and ACZ's enemy ace squadrons help you in scenarios where you're outnumbered by relatively skilled enemies.Playing ACX on Ace will teach you how seize opportunities when you're forced on the defensive, because standard missiles in that game behave like 7's HCAAs.
>>583578561>SODs and SASMs>ShitAnon-But yes HPAA have always been kind of a meme
Think Baxter is flying with Cope?
>>583578587I'm just gonna call you a gay retard not engage with you any further, retard.
Love QAAMs
>>583578645SASM is okay and SOD is great, I know. It's just I expected a bit more for a superplane.
>no carrier plane with mgpfug
>>583576165
The missions in AC8 online feel too short or small. They need more to do.
>>583576995I'm imagining the scene from LoGH (the original) where one of the ships takes a critical hit, and it swaps to an interior scene of a corridor being blown apart, bodies being ripped up by the debris. Imagine there was a focus prompt like that, would've been insane.
>>583573376Is this dude actually the biggest loser out of all the enemy rival aces? Even the Strigons felt a little less embarrassing to JOB so hard.
>>583571361It wasn't necessary But at least he's there unless you were unsure
>>583578583The real revelation is that the f14 is actually competent in a flat turning contest and performs better than the supposedly small and nimble fighters like the f5 or mig21 in every way
Feels like we should've had one actual mission with Cope instead of the dude dying in the literal cinematic prologue.
>>583578958Growler getting two missile upgrades seems nice. I wonder if it might actually be viable compared to Barricader. Though maybe Barricader gets good abilities too.
>>583579390How a mission like that would be though? You can't kill anything and need to run from everything without any explanation yet.
>>583571554>Complete with a everybody sings together kumbaya to give wings their energy Holy shit this is how you do corny>>583571317I like how somehow 3 days ago there was that anon who absolutely hated starbound bird
>>583578819>'ate manoeuvring>'ate g-force>'ate positioning>Luv me QAAM>Luv me LAAM>Luv me SASM>Simple As- Norf Point FC
>>583579380>Plane performs better than 10-20 year older designsIs that really a smoking gun
>>583579761You need constant maneuvering and high G to sling SASMs effectively, since you'll be dodging a million things in your self-created furball.
>>583578874is F4 not a carrier plane now?
>>583579841When it comes to popular culture it surprisingly does, people saw the A-4s rolling like maniacs on the movie and though that's how it really is.
>>583578958
>>583579593Would make for a somewhat acceptable steering tutorial I guess
I swear Blockade is in this track.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asARbFilKZw
>>583580256>>583579443So Growler gets ESM range and ESM upgrade (what does it do?) so it's probably better as a buffbot.Barricader gets two different missile upgrades so it's probably better at killing things. Unless Growler's anti air upgrade is better than Barricader's missile upgrade.Still lots unknown but Growler might end up okay.
Tewy's VA liked a comment i made on IG glazing her
>>583580370Tbsesu i dont think they ever explicitly teach you how to dodge missiles, turn to them etc.
>>583580420I can hear it. I also distinctly heard Blockade in mission where we intercept Podarges, but I'm not sure about name of the track.
In retrospective, giving Trigger an unbelievably cool emblem for the crime of killing a politician in cold blood was a really weird choice.The fact he willingly kept it later on is a bit concerning too.
>>583580509Well IEWS is ECM+ESM, so it's basically got those upgrades but as side-grades.
>>583580687He was an Osean. They're just like that.
Rex actually died due to internal bleeding caused by that sheep. Sotoan high council was fast enough to sublimate him beforehand.
>>583580597I think that can be learned naturally and 100% ace combat was always going to be a game about angle of attack and speedLike how QAAM/VLS craft like the ladon, 22, and the nightmare all eat you for breakfast if you break off with a high G turn since QAAMs synergize well with energy bleeds and rapidly changing angles of attack
>>583580687I mean, originally it was just strikes to mark the plane as convict flown, he turned it into a cool thing after.
Must've been the wind.
Before launch>Oh my god is Sotoa sublimating their population?>they're sublimating pilots and telling them it's heaven>the promised land is a sotoan lie about sublimation!>they sublimated Jan Cope and stuck him in your helmet to torture you both>you're actually sublimated AI!>game launches>promised land is literally just Usean green grass>Jan Cope is just a ghost>Sotoa is just religious fanaticsLel

>>583575845I get mvp's regularly in my su34 with UGLB's with the only thought being not to crash into the ground or get raped by the fish mig because my brain is shutting out everything but ground targets, yet I still winCompared to playing fighters I get fuck all, why do I need more score as a ground attacker, just encourages more dumb frogfoot/warthog players
>>583578705Cope is still too obsessed with the cripplussy even as a ghost for that.
>>583571554Nah. I would delete mission 30 and have DD record the dogfight between Rex and Moon 11 for his viral moment. Enso drop the spear on the Bass Pro Shops pyramid after Moon 11 is shot down and DDs phone survives, but without the crappy, drawn out, sub fight that only exists to force you to listen to more dialogue.
>>583578705Baxter has a lot to answer for making coster replace Kate as wingman
I think it could be fun if they added a main character that is constantly aware of how crazy it is that they are just sending a single squad into crazy missions vs a floating fortress covered in aa guns sams and railguns and making it back alive.
>>583581368>Nah. I would delete mission 30That's why you're not in charge, retard.
>>583581452Was that not just Chopper
>>583579916>Erm, ackshually that's not right, you need to blah blah blahI wasn't being literal. Take your pills sperg.
>>583578561The game steers better than the Morgan and nightmare and has sasmsIts literally the best plane for Air to air>Flies like a QAAM so you're on a plane 's nuts in seconds>Ensures every SASM will do damage>The most upgrade slots so you can load more sasms, buff them, and still have room for gun and missile upgradesIt only has one weakness and it's the most awkward gun placement in the damn game
>>583581093For me it's when someone shoots at me so I flare and then I die because haha lag missiles.
I still maintain that HCAA, HVAA, and HPAA should all be able to target ground targets as well
>>583581846It's stupid that HCAAs can't.
>>583581712>no LAAMnot relevant.
>>583581610>getting butthurt for no reasonbruh
>>583581452>one guy is self-aware on how retarded and crazy everything is and is only still here because he's getting paid>the other guy's a complete lunatic who thinks war is fun and will die taking a missile for the first guy There, add a female and that's your AC9 squadron.
>>583581896It's a stealth planeIf you're not shooting at max range, that's always cutting down on the range at which the LAAM is most magical
I really hope the next game is deep in the corp war
Why do jobbers always have to kill themselves
I hope the next game is in strangereal's equivalent of early cold war with F-101 as the starting jet, and eagle filling the superplane spot
>>583581994>People during peak euro hours being mentally illIs that so shocking>>583581368It's a bow tying mission which just happens to ask you to do some fancy flyingThat's hardly a bad thing
>>583582427
>>583582245Ok, and? The only use non-Laam planes have as fighters is in br or tdm, they are worthless in pvevp.
>>583582253going by the little we can gleam from the UGSF timeline it's probably less a full blown war and more like one of many proxy wars they have considering that they both work together to control the United Government and later United Galaxy. So it could well be that we're part of the rise of Neucom as whatever country we're from fights a GR proxy.
>>583582548wat
>>583581452We could get like a genuine war otaku who's obsessed with the protagonists and how they ended their warsBasically if the documentary in AC0 was less a documentary and more a single deranged schizo with a Cork board screaming that the new singularity pilot has appeared
>>583582740We're currently posting under arrested development ESL conditions.Arguments between two people talking past each other and non-sequitur replies are a threat.Stay vigilant.
>>583582992but anon-chama i am esl
>>583583036So am I.
Why is the Game better than the Raptor when it's just a fatter Raptor?
>>583583206sickwhat's your favorite plane
>>583581521In terms of final or near final missions where you have to attack enemy faction HQs or final big bad infrastructure (going to exclude final ace pilot showdowns as they aren't comparable).- Fighter's Honor- Megalith- ACES- Unsung War- Valley of Kings- End of Deception I & II- Chandelier- LighthouseAre all better than AC8 mission 30. >>583582435It's too long for the sake of it, and it's an odd mission to finish the game with.Going from island hopping battles to wipe out the Sotoan forces still in USEA, bombing the megafloat, a massive dogfight, final ace showdown (x2) and then to cap all that off, you're suddenly back to an early game escort mission shooting at anti-ship missiles and UAVs while waiting for the talking to progress far enough to actually attack the sub.
>>583583240We forgot how to build the Raptor so we threw up a cheap fascimile.Goumen.
Is the cost system ever going to come into play? Coop warfare is a lot of fun unless the enemy team pulls out fully upgraded versions of the best planes in the game against your team of F-4s and maybe a F-14. And in the future what if I want to play the F-4 for the fun of it? Seems like they ripped off all the terrible parts of Gundam battle operation and didn't take the one good thing of rotating cost based matchmaking.
Can some one tell me who the fuck the captain of the Endurance is supposed to be & why that reveal was 'cool'?
>>583582615Okay? Well I pull the "who gives a fuck about that one trick pony shit mode" card, and I foldAnd what the fuck are you doing worrying about the Game in that modeThat sounds like so much grind
>>583583272I'm a basic Eagle bitch.What about you?
>>583583357Like I said, this is why you're not in charge.
>>583582740Theres no need to be groundedPicrel, it's primitive air defense technology in ace combat lmao
>>583583446It's bad in PvE as well, even worse than it is in PvEvP. It's bad im every mode that's actually in the game permanently and is only OK in a rotating mode.
>>583583240Because Ace Combat loves weird prototype/tech demonstrator planes, and the X-36 is definitely weird.
>>583583576I like the Intruder, closely followed by the SkyhawkCarrier-based strike aircraft are cute
>>583583660God I love the excalibur mission in 0
>>583583409It's currently being used for DM.Yay DM.
>>583583701>Bad in every modeJesus Christ dude I don't care about online I folded alreadyBut it is good at literally the most obnoxious stuff in the game that gets most complained about right now
I'd rather have more super planes and fantasy planes that f15 variant 35 and or SUs all their chinese copies
>>583583409Probably after the TDM event.
>>583583786I agree!
>>583583641>"nuh uh, no feedback allowed, you don't work for project aces"Whatever helps you cope retard. Katabuchi ain't gonna give you sloppy toppy with a twist for being his strongest soldier.
How do they look like?
>>583584120It's a Chinook.Don't worry, a LAAM will always snipe it from spawn
>>583584120it's either a truck or a chinookthey're red on the minimap and are worth 1300 points
>>583583943The game is missing the only f-15 variant that matters tooAnd yes I prefer the 2-D thrust vectoring over the 3-D crown shaped thrust vectoring
>>583584120Trucks or Chinooks the target for the chinook will just be CH-47 IIRC.
>>583584220I was wondering what that High Threat Truck was
>>583584120>This is the only dev communication about online even though the only people left are hyper autists that haven't stopped since day 1Grim.
>>583584496I still see plenty of people in their newbro F4s
>>583584658Then what fucking hell lobbies am I getting shafted with
Is there a non-laam plane tier list for online?
>>583584063I'm also with >>583583641If you compare to the Hrimfaxi\Sciinfaxi or Alicorn fight, it sucksBut that's not what it is.It's an emotional relief mission to wrap up the lore, in which you mostly are able to pay attention to the chatter and to what's going on on background.It might not be stellar gameplay wise, but it's the perfect cherry on top of the cake.
>>583584790I don't know you guys are apparently playing a completely different game to me, unless you still have crossplay turned off from day 1 when it was giga unstable. I eve have some games without ANY LAAMers. But there's usually 1.
>>583584831SASMs and QAAMs are good.UGB and LACM are good. At least I think, I don't have personal experience with LACM because it's only on high tier planes.That's not a plane list but still you should look for those weapons.Oh yeah, jammers are good too.
I dont know if it's just because I have a job and only play for a few hours each Eastern Standard evening. But I'm having fun with the online. I even get to party up occasionally with buddies, I got a party for scramble last night and it was fun.
how about......ASSRAMers?
>>583584120I'm at like 3/5 for the milestone, they get destroyed instantly. Sucks.
>>583584997My matches are all 50% LAAMers by volume at minimum with the rest being split between F-15Es and Fullbacks. It fucking sucks and I'm not having fun
>tfw still so poor that I'm still stuck in a fishbed online
>>583585043LACM fags are basicaly ground LAAMers
Is there a compilation of special interactions which can happen during a mission? LIke only in my replay did I find out you can actually save Jackpot 9 and she starts worshipping in the later missions.
>>583576819That's for the named ace. I got him already. The one I'm missing is a Shadow.
>>583584831>Game mode about Rushing targets before everything else>Asking about shorter range optionsI'm not trying to ruin your funI'm trying to help you avoid anti-funI just dont think it's a discussion that can be had
>>583584658>HVAA>UGB>cheap to upgrade>a classic of the seriesIt's comfy>>583584831As I understand it, if you can field one of these, you'll be competitive:LAAM / HVAAQAAM / SASMUGBL / UGBLACMESM / ECM>>583585327What level are you and your planes? Maybe there's some sort of level based matchmaking going onI've definitely run into my share of LAAMs but it hasn't been as bad as people have made it out to be in my experience
>>583585551>Big rangeIs the game>Followed by big aoe>Followed by big damageAt least in OVERG fighters it was more honest
https://thetiberiansons.bandcamp.com/album/aces-without-bordersI wonder if their Ten MIllion Relief Plan remix is Awakening+Alicorn+TMRP
>>583585889It doesn't matter. If I go in with a low-level low cost shitbox I get the same lobbies. I'm not even at the level to get the EW F-18 either.
I have no idea how to read the cornering speed datasheet in the pastebin
>>583584658>>583585889Lvl20 F-4E is great fun.Still wish the game had an F-4S too so we could have a carrier based one as well.
>>583586124I think he means pilot level, so if you've turboground your way to super high rank you might be being matched with other people who have done the same. While I'm in the middle ranks now and not seeing nearly the stuff you're saying.
>the Sotoans incorporated Yuktobanian technology why the fuck would they and why would the Yukes even give them that tech? they fought a war with each other didn't they?
>>583586439>I think he means pilot level>"I'm not even at the level to get the EW F-18 either."No I don't remember all the stupid ranks they calling levels
>>583586592Espionage is a thing
Just had my first softlock, turns out if you leave the transport in mission 13 long enough (say, to go after the ace) the timer stops but there's no game over, even as things spawn in and the transport keeps moving>>583586592The Yukes fought with Osea too, everyone's a peacenik
>The only survivor of the Lux Lunae 150th Unit retired to become an ice cream vendorbased
>>583586592>Need some bullshit for our thing>Oh there's a commercial part that does what we need, we don't need to reinvent the wheelAnd here's the big kicker>What are the odds they send some hotshot fighter pilot to singlehandedly take down our defensive modulator, which is a large flying hive ship>WHAT ARE THE ODDS?>No we don't need to tell them what we're using it for
>>583586592The West Germans got American tech and East Germans got Soviet tech despite having fought them just prior. We don't get too much of the geopolitical scene, but I don't think it'd be unreasonable that Sotoa would have been incorporated into the Yuktobanian sphere of influence after they lost their war.
>>583586592Who said they gave them the tech? The Sotoans could also have captured important stuff from the past conflict.
>>583586747>PTSD someone so hard they go home and just disappear and leave a wife and child behindI should've shot his parachute the ungrateful fuck
Is matchmaking global or are you really stuck hoping the people standing AFK around you are queuing
>>583586183gibe NPBs PAgibe war crimetheme for givings: https://youtu.be/hux-llNETuk
>>583586665>>583586969considering that Seversky was able to source blueprints back from Yuktobania, I get the impression that some kind of tech transfer happened. or was it a case of double espionage?>>583586671that war ended with both sides reconciling didn't it? I get the impression that the Yuke-Sotoa war didn't end amicably as the Circum-Pacific war since it propelled Sotoa hard militarily
Continued AC8 from mission 8 to 10...damn I wasnt expecting to find that I was actually sweating going through all that
>>583581712>weird gunIs it me or is the thing actually soft tracking the opponents? I think that's the reason for its fucked up gun angle
>ghosts are real>one of the shadows is basically a skinwalkerGuys this is getting too spooky for me…
Is it normal that I got S rank while at freaking 98% damage
>>583587487Belkan 'witchcraft' vs Sotoan actual sorcery, which is better? I do hope that the Sotoan stereotype is that their souls don't move on so easily
>>583587652It feels easier to S rank in this game then in previous ones
>>5835874508 has a lot of mission that stressed me the fuck out, I was doing a few missions a day because of that kek
>>583587652As you can see your HP doesn't count for anything. It only counts if you die and reset from a checkpoint.
>>583585205ASRAAMers
>>583587203It's funny how often PA kept adding the napalm bomb in the PS2/PSP era and it was just terrible every time, lmao.Would be nice to see it back if they could make it useful. Have the flames linger and deal passive damage to ground targets that drive into the fire maybe?
>>583569462After the war Trigger spent every night making sure she'd be walking funny
The way Cope greets us in the intro feels like a gesture he'd use to court a lady, probably a habit from flying with Tewy
>>583587986>if you drop enough napalm bombs in a circle it starts a firestorm that eradicated the entire circle regardless of diameterwould be cool
>>583588154>implying Trigger doesn't spend every day going into the skies hunting down drones Erusea still manufactures solely to keep his bloodlust in check as part of the peace accord
>>583588318nah it's just how Sotoans greet people, not sure why no one in universe picked up on that
https://x.com/GTO_Mason2/status/2107384474090750316get this fuckface share a cell and drop the soap with wizard 1 now
>>583588629>Too busy shooting and getting shot at by the equivalent of strangereal aussies to see them acting like civilized peopleSounds about right
>>583587652Are you playing with M&K? You absolute madman
I have a personal theory that I'm sure I can prove. You see every ace combat protagonist from every game is the same person. I can prove it because I have played every game, and every game I fly the exact same way, S rank every mission and become a hero of the air. Everything that happens in game is Canon so I have proven that canonically every protagonist is the same person.

>>583588986i am. about to finish my no damage + machine gun only ace run too. on mission 27 nowmouse and keyboard isn't that hard. i played ac7 with mnk too
>>583589272Thanks god, i got scared
>>583589105
kino
>>583589508nta but how do you deal with the fact that the mouse has 0 nose authority even when i crank the dpi to 9000 it just doesn't budge
>>583587754There's less bullshit speicificalities so it feels less restrictiveI mean, people already bitch enough as it is about mission 15 for instance, imagine if they made it a tighter time thing +less damage
>>583589313>>583589069I stay in 3rd person 95% of the time, switch to either first person setting for gun runs and tunnel chases, rarely for bombing too, but they fixed the camera in 3rd person so you don't really need to anymore as holding focus zooms in and angles down for you.
>>583589504I think that's what happened my first time, got that dialogue, the cool dudes were all bunched up and the tomcat had wandered off.
>>583588629Might be how the plainsniggers do it, and they don’t leave their plains often and Topkek only does it because he’s the #2 Plains LARPer.
>>583589069Doing it now. F/A-18s only too.
what's so special about Mobius 1, I keep seeing people jerk him off and saying "dood Sotoa could never take North Point"
>>583569374It has never taken more than 10 seconds to find a match for me.
>>583590159He's a mass delusion
>play assault>4 morgans just flash bombing the map>play warfare>two EA-36 and two morgansso not only are the game modes super short with hardly enough for everyone to get their kill rocks off, but the only way to get anything is to fly some super plane. I know that obviously there are matches when things are more normal with only two morgans really spread out between the teams, but there's no chance they're ever going to improve & fix this to be good.
>>583589739i use w and s for pitch
>>583590159He is a protagonist from one of the games, we don't even know if he is from North Point but seeing how it was ignored like that in 8 is just funny.
>>583590385The band-aid fix would be a mode with only 4 players because it does feel marginally better in those cases. But yes the whole thing needs a severe go again
I forgot how good the music in Mission 10 is. I could feel that piano in my soul.
>>583590159The way the endurance is just about the last bit of resistance is essentially what it was for Mobius oneMobius one single handedly killed every member of the yellow squad, took out the continentally ranged stone henge air defense system, essentially singlehandedly sunk erusea's invincible fleet WHILE wrinkling a certain officer's CRISP WHITE SHEETsAnd worked with ground forced to save the world from nuclear catastropheHe was pretty nutsAlthough with QAAMs being the low committal little devils they were his legacy is a bit tarnished
>>583590159Mobius 1 is reincarnated fighter jet jesus. All his motifs are based around that, from the ribbon insignia (infinity symbol, infinite looped mobius strip), to the music ala Agnus Dei / Megalith. He also has some insane feats both by gameplay and via story, especially if you count the highest difficulty as canon, considering it's like a 2-shot AA kill in AC04.
Any fellow Rafale enjoyers?
These are some biiiig and detailed maps.It's a joy Free Flighting through some of the areas that weren't as target-dense in the campaign.I wish we could do the same in the ACO maps.
>>583591152Someone say Gripen fans?
>>583591152Some guys from a country whose economy relies on them are really fond of it.
>>583591152Most of the people left playing online are meta sloppers, yes
>>583591247Gripen is the coolest eurotriangle.
>>583588726This Ace Combat is the one with the most warcrimes and horrible deathsWe have :>rods from god on civilians>people burning alive>Shooting bailed out pilots>[RAILGUN WARNING]What did i miss ?>>583591247it's not even the coolest swedish dorito.
Why didnt the sotoans just turn ther home country into a giant megafloat?
>>583592164What's so warcrimey about RAILGUN WARNING? The psychological damage?
>>583592397Enso used the FCU’s refusal to help the Sotoans with their environmental crisis because the federation was falling apart at the seams to whip them into a fury.
What are you supposed to use vs drone swarms anyway?
>>583592265They were doing so, but grass is greener all that. In this case literally. Also the promised land bullshit.>>583592397I more meant the horrible death partBlown to bits or sucked through a straw sized hole in your plane due to speed and pressure differentials.
>>583592648Guns, they even mention it.
The way the music swells when you finally get target acquisition of the first Podarge in mission 11 is so good.
I did expect the sub to show up since it was huge unfired Chekhov’s Gun but the was it was talked about I expected it to be a lot more involved and way way larger and you’d fly through it or something.
>planes at the end of the tech tree don't even get the good missileswhat did they mean by this
>>583592668Doesn't seem that much worse than dying to frag or a thermobaric bomb.
>>583590526still feels way worse at actually moving the plane than controller, though the micro movements are better for keeping the nose on something for guns
I'm at my third playthrough and STILL COULDN'T let GEMMA\Mavisan live.What does she say if one of her squadron members survives? My ape brain is never going to let anyone live in the EXPO City destruction mission
>>583592946You give her a life-long depression as she calls herself a fat fucking chud who can't do anything other than survive
So Enso is definitely Ouroboros, right?
>>583593291DEFINITELY DUDE
>>583592934Dunno about that boss.Of course i don't expect pic related to fully happen, but a small projectile accelerated fast should turn who's hit into an inside out slushieBaxter should have been removed from the cockpit with a hose.
>>583593291No. Ouroboros is made from that one guy getting turned into a data program while his IRL body gets blown up by the nerd he cucked. Enso is just a tired & true grassroots super greedy mega corporation that probably establishes the setting through slowly fragmenting apart at this point.

>>583594281Well she's easy to work with or something
>>583593449I mean, despite being a visually more gruesome death in comparison to being dismembered by an explosion or bleeding out to death after a gunshot or fragmentation wound at least they will barely process what is happening and will go out fast. I think the argument for warcrime worthy weapons are for the ones that needlessly cause suffering on the enemy, but of course that interpretation is really flexible and shows how pointless said discussion is.

>>583598136Imagine being the guy whose voice cracks over comms, the whole mystique would be ruinedAlso there are a few female Shadows but only Moon 11 gets to sing? Sotoa's sexist
Does anyone have any screenshots from Mission 8? I liked the night sky but most screenshots seem to be taken in daylight.
Should I be worried that all my superiors seem to be gambling addicts
>>583598136>>583598263Tewy back at the base when you fuck the hortia
I can't help but feel like there could've been a better way to do this
CLIMB ANY HILLCROSS ANY TRENCHLAY WASTE TO ANY WALLKEEP ADVANCING AND THE ENEMY WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT SURRENDERNgl i like the battleship's crews. They deserve what's coming to them but they also are cool guys.
Was there any news of Campaign DLC for AC8 like how AC7 had 3 DLC story missions? I'm more excited for the prospect of future DLC story missions than AC Online.
Faggots Alt-F4ing when they see certain planes in a mission causing the mission to cancel for everyone need to be shot.
JACKSON CAN YOU WIPE YOUR OWN ASS!?
>>583568172I laughed when Leasath caught a spear in that cutscene
>>583598940At the very least I wish the mission would continue instead of cancelling for everyone. Replace with an NPC if need be.
>>583598704Not only does the God of Strangereal play dice, the dice are loaded (in our favor)>>583598941>Spread Squad
>>583598802Bruh the alicorn was announced months after 7 came out take a break it's been a week
>That's NOT a great formation for this mission
What the fuck was Fuscus 1's problem. Why did he say that?
>>583599392I actually wish we saw more of this guy in the campaign.
>>583599397He's a true LARPer
Why would you not put torpedoes, the most effective, stealthiest, destructive anti-ship and ASW weapon and the whole reason to make the thing in the first place, on your insanely fast submarine that is clearly meant to be attacking?
>>583599392"When did he learn to paddle" is one of the best lines in the whole game
>>583598802as much as I would love to see a Queen flight DLC, I would really rather they just make another game ala 5/Zero with what they've already developed for 8 instead of making a DLC
>>583599397Too much whimsy
>>583599553Why would you make a homosexual missile that goes in the water when you could make a regular heterosexual missile that flies through the air like god and Belka intended?
>>583599397He got mad because Fuscus 2 said "Yes sir" in a dorky way instead of coming up with an edgy line
>>583599397>Be locked in and in full larp mode>Wingman hits you with a 'mkayI'd be upset tooThat said fuscus 2 locks in if you shoot down fuscus 1
>>583599553It's a submarine made by techbrosIt probably has a Logitech gamepad for a controller
finally beat it yesterday, i miss not having responsibilities plenfrens >its easy to see where their AC7 money went to, a ton more dialogue in between and during levels and 30 missions is a lot, though i am in agreement that the fat should have been trimmed to help the pacing>the highs are amazing in this game but the lows are straight goofy easily avoidable fumbles or missed opportunities. why should i care about cope? at least if he was really that nigga before Rex shows up and instajobs itd give you a reason to care about his opinion, or if all his yapping was Nemo style simulation shenanigans that would at least be intriguing (the epilogue sort of kind of hints thats whats happening??)>the banter overall is way weaker than 7, especially that game's DLC. Baxter is lame compared to sweet jp wiseman ragebaiting Count, Coster's arc ends a third into the game, Tasha is actually ok because a civilian teenager would freak out when their friends get killed (the kono stand in dad letting her keep fighting is dumb though), the black lady has ai level lines always talking about cake, but Kate does destroy Huxian. only actually good moments were the theve part 2 nonestop cries for support which was actually intense and dealers plan to just have you kill them all>i loved how stupid evil the sotoans were because it made dumpstering on them very satisfying. as everyone else has memed on for the landship 2 crew getting boiled alive, start shit get hit. plus the only good cope moment is calling crip 11 out on larping as a lunar goddess one with the people>music is kino, the first times are changing in mission 3 sent me all the way back to playing X on the psp for the first time. again, the highs are the highest of the series but overall theres not many hits, as youd expect from 30 missions. everflow destroys daredevil
>>583598940If i see a miggerim gonna alt f4sorry not sorryhahahahah
>>583600123But it's the only fighter I've got that I can level...
>>583599553Missiles have longer ranges.
>>583599553Remember it was somehow supposed to combat the land battleships
>>583599926The RNG chatter adds a lot to replayIt took a few replays to come to figure out stuff like the automated PA speaking because the entire crew was dead/a payoff for the auto targeting system angle for instance
fishbed supremacy hoe
Hortus Regis Alti plays rent free in my head
>>583599926> lows are straight goofy easily avoidable fumbles CoughcoughM28Shadows
>>583600959Sotoans sitting on a stockpile of flares to last another five games
>>583598736The coolest part is how this page isn't in the campaign plane picking menu so you need to cycle through all this shit with the d-pad
>>583600280They also reveal your presence and are way easier to intercept. The Triumphant couldve easily close the distance with the escortless Endurance and delete its keel in no time.
>>583601146Weapons and tactics that cannot be stopped by aircraft are banned in Strangereal
>>583601146> They also reveal your presenceSo do torpedos.
>>583601146That is cringe, unbased and possibly honourless Er*sean behavior. Manfight like a man
>>583601467And that would already be too late
Given Enso wanted the war to drag out as long as possible I wouldn't be shocked if that sub was made kinda silly on purpose to specifically fuck up Sotoa in one area before getting had
>>583601574Maybe they just wanted some last minute flight data>Did we ever get Rex's stats when fighting a sub?
>>583601901>>583601574This is why they were never ready to roll with the big dawgs.
What kinda fucking 'nomad' name is Jan Cope?
>>583599392WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING COSTER THE EA-6B? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET HIM KILLED? I BOUGHT 4 F22S!
>>583599553>>583600481The submarine was meant to sneak past the rainband, it was likely meant to shoot down the airships or just go blow up Fatsia
>>583598758Notice how they didn't say shit like KILL EVERY SOLDIERBURN EVERY FIELDDESTROY EVERY HOMEANNIHILATE THE ENEMYThey're legit just trying to solve things with just shock & awe and minimal force.
>>583602180>minimal forceI wouldn't really call the Thunder Strikes """minimal"""
>>583601293Mobius one would be a charred piece of wreckage if those dudes didn't tackle that flamethrower
>>583602180>Any hill they climb gets flattened>Anyone in those trenches gets flattened>Any walls belong to people's property>The alternative to not surrendering is being crushed or explodedIf morality is paint they picked the thinnest coat possible
>Be Sotoa>Literally a desert hellhole with nomadic tribal nonsense >Somehow had the technology and economy to go and pick a fight with fucking Yuktobania>Then a few years later decided to shit all over Usea while larping as nomads of a floating islandStrangereal is a fucking shithole to live in holy fuck.
i would wipe tewy's poopy butt
Is AC8 a commercial success? Will we be getting our dicks sucked by based mainline Ace Combat games for the next 20 years at least? Are Sotoans the next Belkans?
>>583602581I love how strangereal is such a wild ride that I can see people just welcoming world government because "yeah, having nation states hasn't worked out for us, maybe we shouldn't do that anymore"
>>583602305Well, I was talking about the crews of the land battleships.>>583602516It's not a particularly fast machine, the people can just... get out of the way. The idea is that they are, in fact, unstoppable, so fighting them is a waste of lives. So just surrender! :)
>>583602581Didn't one of the art books make mention of the fact that several generations of near nonstop open warfare has done a number on the population
>>583602737No, the Belkans were retarded techno wizards who wanted revenge after (((Osean businessmen))) jewed them.Sotoans are based retard LARPers who don’t even have a country left after this game.
>>583602737>Is AC8 a commercial success?Just let me check their financial statements, wait a minute bro
>>583602781>It's not a particularly fast machineIt's rocket powered, and agile enough to maneuver out of the way of guided laser bombs and terminal velocity elevatorsIt's pretty fucking fast
>>583602581They weren't a nomadic shithole. They industrialised which caused the nomadic culture to disappear. The nomadic stuff is just cultural posturing by nobility (except for poorfags like Cope).They are basically modern Turkey.
>>583602996Just hack into their servers and let us know thanks bro
>>583603192t. DD
>>583603192Thank you, random Erusean woman
>>583602976I meant in terms of pure memetic potential - if you think about it, Cope is just Pixy again except a bit more (less?) retarded
>>583603192Bandai Namco files their financial statements in May, so you'll have to wait a few months bro
>>583603074Their>Muh nomadShit and chant all sound romani to me>T. Has no idea about how gypsies act, based purely on guy ritchie sherlock and that one Full Metal Alchrmist movie where they travel with gypsies to stop Hitler
wish sorties were faster or they added an even that made them temporary permanent or some shit, i still have 30 money boosters to use
>>583603634Nah they are turkic posturers for sure
It’s always funny to me when I see someone pull away from a high value target when it has just a sliver of health left.Just a squirt of machine gun fire, that’s all you needed dawg.
>>583603074>>583603634Central Asians more like judging by their names/culture. Gypsies are only capable of stealing shit and other low-level nigger behaviour.t. Yuktobanian
>>583604024Which hut do you think Shadow 22 is larping in
>>583602581>Somehow had the technology and economy
But seriously though, what the fuck was Cope's overall game plan, assuming he didn't die? Spy for Sotoans for real? Fuck up Tevy if they ever met?
>>583604087I think it's a mix of both, since Shadow22 is literally named "Toprak"
>>583604024Just when I thought they couldn't meme harder
>>583604209Second largest.
How's your online plane collection coming along, aceg?
>>583604428The guy's a self-admitted coward, he probably didn't have a plan besides survivingMaybe he'd feel righteous vengeance running into Tewy but by that point in the war if it was Cope instead of Rex things would be truly fucked
>>583604428Just follow the wind bro.
>>583604539Kind of, but still they lean more towards golden horde. Turks would be autistic about ottoman empire which is an ENTIRELY different thing.
>matched against the EW game in my growlerwtfhe does everything that I do but betterincredible
>>583604724yikes
I can't see how people are going to bother maxing planes at the current rate of prog
Luv me A-6. But goddamn it’s so SLOW
>>583604763What bothers me is that the guy is somehow compared to Tewy, Tasha's mom and Topkek in skill level. Whole squadrons of FCU planes wouldn't be lost if the guy wasn't a pussy.
>>583605020>>583604724
>>583605149I imagine that we're going to speed up, but it'll be counter-balanced by them adding a bunch of new high tier ace-version aircraft.
>>583567682The nobles, the fat pigs, they are just larping. They don't know the land, they've never sheared the sheep. They don't follow the way of the nomad you get me
>>583605278Yeah meanwhile everyone>Tasha>Kate>Even toprakDickrides his legacy for some reason
Are those experimental meme planes you get after beating the game even good?

>>583604428He was searching for Tewy because he was obsessed but probably would’ve tried to put her down when he saw what she had become.That’s why he comments something about “someone already finished it for me…” or something at one point when you learned she had been shot down previously.
>>583604724only collection I made was failed sortiesfinished the campaign today and jumped in the online, but so far I haven't been able to play a single mission
>>583605646The FA-36 is the best plane in the game speed and maneuverability wise and its special weapons are decent.
>>583605278It's the classic Ace Combat coin, Tewy and Toprak are hopelessly bloodthirsty and Cope is hopelessly pacifistic, you need to strike a balance to avoid disaster and losing everything, which is something that gets taught in every one of these gamesA bird whose wings pull in opposite directions will tear itself apart, and the world will lose a beautiful bird in the process
>>583605660>Ryo WatanabeThe Showdown King himself?!
>>583599397Cooopy!
>>583599397Cooooooopyyyyy. :D
>>583605898This thread got a little gayer
>>583606440We're in a General, it's apready really fucking gay.
>>583604724It isn't because they still haven't allowed Linux users to play despite Bamco published titles historically always enabling Linux support in EAC.
>>583606301>>583606228Fuscus 1 definitely LARPs in the performative yurt
>>583606440Look me in the eye and tell me that wasn't Ace Combat tier writing
>>583605898That's the gayest shit I have ever heard today but I guess it makes sense
>>583605660I saw Erasmus Talbot in the credits which was weird, he did the Elite Dangerous OST.
>>583606684Go dance with the angels!
>>583606758That shit was really cringe tbqh
So, now that the dust has settled, what's Cope's deal?Is he an actual ghost? A dead copy in his chip? A figment of your imagination?
>>583606587You know it wasn't long ago that you people stayed on /g/ and as far as I'm concerned you should STILL BE THERE
>>5836066845 and 6 tier writing for sure
>>583606879Whatever you say, buddy
>>583606854Yes
>>583606854He is your WSO its just that nobody noticed it.
>>583606845I was dreading it all gameThe terrible "didn't localize too well" writing seemed largely confined to anything that came out of tasha's mouth and only her mouth, thankfully>>583606854Fucking stupid and the retards who think it makes sense because "I've watched Gundam" and that's an acceptable argument are even stupider
>>583606854he's your coping mechanism
i'm a real ace now
HOLY SHIT GIVE ME AN EMERGENCY SORTIE ALREADY I WANT MY FIVE GENERAL BLUEPRINTS
>>583607129How the hell did you no damage and mg only the megafloat...
>>583606854Ghost and a narrative device for a mute protag
>>583607138Be careful what you wish forI got an emergency sortie on Chandelier and we didn't clearThings to say and scare /aceg/
>>583606186FUCKI knew I knew that name from somewhere
>>583606854>what's Cope's deal?Someone at PA played too much CP2077
>>583606704I wonder how he got the job to just work on lyrics.My only connection between him and Japan is the fact that he worked with fellow Stockholm resident Rasmus Faber on an anime soundtrack.
>>583606854I wanted to interpret it as him being Rex's idea of Cope but no he's a literal ghost and Electrosphere is the second death
>>583607241this part makes it so you can get hit a bunch before you take a percent of damage, it's really broken for no damage medal
Did everyone see the LINE stickers for 8 in the /v/ thread or should I just post them here
>>583607576Post them here.
>>583607375More like they had a fever dream that>Talk to me gooseWas supposed to be taken literally
>>583607576Why the FUCK would I be on /v/? post em.
>>583607309>get the chandelier for the first time today>never played 6 so no idea what's it all about>crash in the tunnel twice because can't see shit with the mbpm spam>just bomb the su-33s spawning on the tarmac for the remainder of the game>top score
How come scramble is so much better objectively for rewards
>>583607635>>583607650Incoming
>>583607505I don't think that's correctLast thread they said it was threshold based, so shit like AA guns literally never do enough damage to clear the threshold
>>583607753My wife
Would an AC Ace be just as good irl, or would they get fucked by how insane military technology has gotten?
>>583607753
>>583607838They'd get instafucked since air combat doesn't work like that IRL
>>583607861
>>583607665Because Scramble quickly ramps up the bullshit on higher difficulty levels past the average player’s skill level. Higher is probably impossible with randos unless you go ESM.On 3 they were already spamming PSMs and Flares.
>>583607967
>>583607309Chandelier's fine, if my team's nugget enough to fail I at least know I WILL be top score. My gripe is that it's been like two and a half hours and I've only proc'd a single Scramble. I shouldn't have forgotten my sacrifice to RNGesus, buddies...
>>583607838If they bring their reality warping skills with them ? A good chanceIf they follow the same rules as anyone ? Dead within weeks.
>>583608086
>>583607838i think the last genuine visual dogfight was in 2019 in india / pakistan but only because those niggers dont have radar and shitthese days everything just gets spiked from 30km distance
>>583608205
>>583608309
>>583608289We need real life minovsky particles to make jets cool dogfighters again.
>>583608417nuggets...
mfw su-34 with unguided bombs (large)
>>583608167I was among the topscorers with my second run of the map having not played AC6 and flying SU33 with rocketsThe first run i had we cleared insanely fast and didnt destroy any defences, which is why i was surprised when we didnt clear this time around.
>>583608447
>>583608417And some edits I did
>>583608525
>>583607838Real missiles are very scary, but if such AC protagonist still got their 10.0 TWR, mach 2 at sea level and sustained 20 Gs turn capability they would at least crank any missile to death until everyone runs out.
>>583608525>>583608624Are those HALO grenades ?Smh the pin is still in you're not killing any sotoans like that
>>583608624Oh, apparently I missed Baxter, sorryThat's it
>>583608717It was a mistake but then again Cope and Tasha don't like killing so it fits anyway
>>583608829I've seen Tasha gut a trainee squadron like a pigI don't think that statement is true.
>two and a half hours>two scramblesMan, FUCK
>>583608965It's pre Taking of Theve 2That's the canon of that edit
Does ESM/focus targeting affect SP.W or only regular missiles?
I still don't like D.D he's a rich nepo baby who is obsessed with streaming and the only way he feels anything is if 900 million people admire him (he didn't do shit he only turned on a camera)I don't care if he hires all the mercs on the planet and gets Larry back into a pilots seat, he is a nigger at the end of the day.
>>583609028>instead of having a point system for special gamemodes (play x amount of regular mm to sortie a limited sortie) you're forced to play the regular slop to roll a chance for it to appear$80 game monetized like a f2p gacha btw
>>583609138You sound poor
Seems like game felon and raptor have pretty much the same stats but game gets to have SASMs which i kinda prefer over 8's QAAMsIs there any info on what skills they unlock?
>>583607089>he's still seething
enso spy
>>583609028i noticed you get more scrambles and emergency sorties if you switch warfare and assault every gamei did like 10 scrambles yesterday in about 5 hours of playing
>>583608092>implying Phoenix and Cipher aren't the same person
>>583607838Not from lack of skill, but because modern radars and missiles cannot be dodged by available aircraft.
>>583609138If we get to Ace Combat 9 and they try to make the megacorps out to be the good guys I will laugh
>>583609253>named “Fuckwad”>ENSO spookReally makes you think.
>>583608965She fucked up her pacifist run so might as well go all in while the war is still on.
>>583609253I only now realized that the reason DD was so worried about people not believing in him besides his reputation is because it was April 1st. Huh.
>>583609474Probably not the good guys, but morally grey in a>is you exist under a corporation, work for it, follow its rules and would kill and die for it, is a corporation really all that different from a nation?Kind of way
>>583609253
>>583609474It would be doubly funny considering how in UGSF they kinda just spend a lot of time being retards in space.
I am once again begging for an aircraft stat sheet if one existsI need to make an informed purchasing decision on the Aircraft Tree
>>583609819>isIf* Fuck
>tfw ace combat online has amazing music from all over the franchise>it doesn't tell the name of the track that plays so nuggets can't even learn more about the franchise
>they brought back squadron controlsneat>didn't bring back the teammate kill feed from 6fug
>>583605898Not gonna lie, AC5, 6, 7, and 8 have all had dumb poetic "war bad" moments that had me roll my eyes, but what you just wrote made me want to kill you.
>>583609830Like I THINK they accidentally create 2 ages of space piracy by being retarded, imagine if they actually create an age of piracy on strangereal just by being petty retards.
Did anyone make out the speech coming from the submarine in mission 30? It almost sounded like some nordic language but with heavy filtering.>>583609474Speaking of AC9 now that it's almost confirmed that we will be re-treading upon AC3 which version of it will be canon? Will my boy NEMO make an appearance?
>>583609902Buy a MiG-31, Rafal, Su-34 or EA-36. Or just suffer(more), there is your stat sheet.
>>583609474Even Enso's fuckery was pinned on fucking YOUNG EXECUTIVES
How is the rank for Emergency orders determined? Is it time based or based on number of secondary targets killed or what?
>you can preview all the skill of unbought planesHoly fucking shit, why did i never notice
>>583610139Why are we pretending 4 and 0 didn't have this to a degreeEven 3 with Rena
>>583610462it's points
>>583610462Probably killing everything
>>583610192People have said it's GermanSo Belkan
>>583610462Overall points. If you want S rank you need to destroy more than just the main targets.
>>583610469Because the UX is bad
>>583609902Seen so many artfag interpretations of Cypher, but this might be the best one.
Do they ever explain why we need to go to all the way to comona to launch the shuttle instead of using the mass driver on Tyler Island?
>>583605796managed to do three missionsthinking of buying the tomcat when I get the rank and stick with it while burning through the zoll to buy partsalso, the f14a from the pre-order was for the campaign only?
>>583610720They're probably incompatible
Alpha 1...protect nuggets at all costs...
>>583610478They weren't overdone and pretentiousCan't speak for 3, haven't beat it yet
>>583610737No, it should be available to you from the startt.someone who just logged on ACO to get the Morgan for campaign and fucked off
>>583610720I wouldn't be surprised if Tyler Island was separatist territoryPlace was a mess
What's the difference between handling and manoeuvrability stat wise
>>583592725They have QAAMs, what do you mean? And Fat-35 gets LACM.
THIS IS THE FORT GRAYS RADIO BROADCAST. TASHA IS A BASIC BITCH.

>>583611431It's neat
>>583610720Space shuttle != SSTO
Is there any scenario where I would want this
>>583611208You mean stability and maneuverability?Stability is how much you pitch down when flying sideways or upside down, and how easily you stall.Maneuverability determines whether your plane turns like a bus or a rofessional ice skater.
>>583611514>583611514
>>583611406It's always been Zero and 04
>>583611636shooting at shipsretard high G turn dogfights if you're a slow reaction uncit's slightly less retarded and wasteful than it was in 7
>>583611507There's a reason zero used to be written as Ø. There's no need to be a dickhead.
>>583611429Ramming always works
>>583611613It's fucking sick and makes me feel like I have to learn to keep up with my own plane for once

>>583612229>The European releaseAnd where on that cover does it say I should give a fuck about what Europeans think?Namely, what the fuck does it matter if we're talking zero vs 0 when referring to Ace Combat Zero
what the did they mean by this?
>>583612443>Pre-WWI prop planes
Does someone know how much XP you need to unlock first lieutenant?
the music in mission 10 is fucking divine
waitwait waitwaitwaitwaitwaithold upridge racer takes place in strangereal?!!?
>>583612843Yeah
>>583612443AC set in the early 1980s where the F4E is a mid-high tier and the Su27 is the superplane.
>>583612615NTA but fuck you pal were all international hete
Finished the game. Katechads won. Tasha was a nobody. Funny how she pushed a lot of marketing but in the end was just some cute girl with not a lot of presence or even interactions with the main character.
>>583612229This is irrelevant.
>>583612257i love that i can read all these cope shitposts in his voice, it's a testament to his voice actor's performance
>>583612970Everyone should slowly start staring at you if you hold this "Q"TE long enough
>>583612970Tasha is for CosterKate is for Rex
Pike is unironically cool
>>583612970Game needed more Jenkins
>>583613219Jackpot 9 is for me
>>583612615Europeans might get confused, so you should refer to it as ACTBW
>game has replay mode>game does not have any ingame screenshot functionwhyyyyyyyy
>>583612970>game literally ends with you flying into the sunset with KateTashafags will never recover from this
>>583613339It does in Online lobbies, the most useful place it could be found in
>>583613339Can't you pause the replay and hide the hud?
>>583612949Brother if three people are arguing between zero, O, and 0 and some fuck comes and says "ackuually europoors don't have a zero" obviously I'm going to tell your irrelevant ass to go dance with the angels
>>583613002You're irrelevant.
>>583613339The real problem is that the replay has no reverse function outside of the chapter skips
>>583612970>Tasha was a nobodyWorse, she almost got herself and coster killed on like 4 separate occasions
>Tasha and Coster get to marry and have 8 children in a rural Yuktobanian city
>>583612898Sounds fucking awful
>>583612843Yes, and there are two distinct Kei Nagases in it.
>>583613516>getting this argumentative and mentally ill over literally nothingI see why people hate autistic mfers who have an incessant need to always be the most correct person in the room
>>583613987>Butting in to stay relevantShut the fuck up no one asked
Rex isn't as cool as the previous protags.
Anybody knows what season 2 is going to be about? I hope they will do AC4 I want to do Stonehenge again
>>583613693Why are you cucking yourself in your own delusion ?I'm marrying Kate and giving her the 8 kids we want, not letting any other fictional retard do that.It's your imagination, you choose to win there.
>>583613321no no no they might confuse Belka with the Balkansto be as inclusive as possible, we outta call it ACTOASL (Ace Combat: The One After Squadron Leader)
>>583614064Actually you did by posting here, that's how message boards work. Dunno if you knew that.
>>583614116You say that, it he manages to have a wife and daughter. And that’s pretty cool.
>>583614172Tbh if you lived near the Balkans you'd see the parallels (abysmal people that are in every instance of crime)
I started up Ace Combat 8 Online. It's cozy but my main problem is constantly getting 2nd place in Grandpa's F4 because some rich asshole in a Morgan decides it's an amazing idea to shit on my bombing runs. Balancing would not be a fucking issue if they didn't introduce that plane so fucking early in the season pass.
>the generic plane upgrades that drop by the dozens are only needed for late stage level uncaps>the plane specific ones drop in ones and two from RNG missions, or by store purchaseWTF, that’s retarded.
>>583613423>ride Kate during the day>go home and ride Tasha at nightSeems like a win-wiin.
>>583600862Dude same. Was listening to it on repeat while I was at the gym the other day.
>>583614064You act like someone who had abusive parents. Which is fine but most people keep that under control.Work on yourself, I wish you the best.
>>583614371I too have problems with the MPBM’s existence.Not because it’s OP, but because I fucking HATE it when I’m down low in the shit (where an F-4 is supposed to be) and some double nugget just nukes my fucking eyeballs.
>>583614371I've barely seen any morgans at all personally
>>583600862Hortus Regis AltiBlue sky homeEverflowFatsiaSong of wings (rise above)RumblingThere's so many songs that just STICK in your mind.
to the buddy in the previous thread whom i spoke to about the steam inventory money thing - even if i sold everything i'd still be about $15 short. i'm sorry buddy, i failed you
>>583614371wait until you pair up with the meta-slaves and their F-14D / MIG-31
>>583614353I admit that I associated how Zero made me feel with all that shit that went down surrounding the breakup of Yugoslavia.All that stuff post-war Pixy said at the end, especially.
>>583614209>I'm gonna act like the victim and attempt to stay looking in control while losing controlWow! Belka is based off of yuropoors, bravo team aces you really captured their immense retardation!
>>583614371Morgans shit, you'll see after playing for more than 5 minutes and gaining some basic competence that you can rip morgan players apart
>>583614172I forgot about this, why did they drop the numbered titles for EU? Even Ace combat 4 was just called "distant thunder"
>>583614957The problem with the MPBM>Works like a SASM but actually the damage between explosion and damage proc is so long you can outfly the damage>Laser is pure dog shit and the only way it can kill anything is with aimbot or cheatsIt's a joke plane but hey it's (modestly) great against static targets
>>583615056because yuros are less likely to pick up a numbered game if they haven't played the previous titles
>>583612843The Nagases like going fast
>>583614802I say this with nothing but genuine concern for you, I suggest you stop browsing 4chan, this shit ain't healthy for you
>>583615056i always really liked distant thunder as an alternative subtitlei don't think i like it better than shattered skies but i do like it
>>583615056Because the EU loves being uninformed and retarded for some reason
>>583614797It feels like it's a mix of both WWII and YugoslaviaThe fact that it's essentially a "civil war" of Belka against its independant former territories, with OSEA using this as a way to claim more land.We fortunately get to skip the genocide and intentionally targeting of civilian populations, as well as the siege of Sarajevo filler arc.>>583615056No clue. AC5 is named squadron leader iirc
>>583615294>Don't act European>People can discuss convention and stay on topic Imagine a world where Europe didn't keep feeling the need to stay relevantIt would be the equivalent of belka not existing
>>583614802>Belka is based off of yuropoorsand jews
>>583615337I love the silly bomb. Generals was a trip. Total China domination in story and you get to play as Jihadi holding nothing back, terrorism, technicals, chemical weapons and suicide bombers
>>583614671>>583614765I make my money carpet bombing ground units because everyone i've played online with is obsessed with dog fights. i am the eternal annihilation enjoyer. those civilians? fuck them, i need to pay for my unborn child's tuition fees and afford a plane that doesn't run on everclear.>>583614783i bought the f-14d like last night because i have to grind way the fuck more to get the berkut and because the f15 mtd doesn't exist yet. i looked at it's payload, i just want lgmbs. if i have to wait til i get fullback, i'll do that. i am seeing people online using the a-10 though, and that's refreshing.
>>583615486You act Russian
How come the Lux Lunae themes stop being good after 55?
What if instead of a remake of ace combat 3, they do the REAL corpo-war instead of the simulation?
>>583613253She's just fine for most of the game, but the ending reveal retroactively helps a lot
>>583615123Yeah and the MPBM is also just decent for ground when compared to SFFS, LACM or UGBL. It has a lengthy reload, you have only one and the damage and splash radius is worse or comparable to these weapons, much lower range when compared to LACM too.
does the ending imply that Heaven exists but only for fighter pilots? do all the ground targets you kill go straight to Strangehell?
>>583615707>Hey guys ace combat>Actually we Europeans act differently>nobody asked>And I took that personallyWhy take it personally? Stop acting European, I mean get your emotions in check and act like an adult lmao
>>583615338>AC5 is named squadron leader iircThat's a fucking terrible name.
>>583614353the fact that nobody seems to want to talk about how an authoritarian government with a benevolent dictator elevated so many countries in the balkans is really telling about the way modern people think, i believe
It's awesome how if you don't have a green plane and the enemy does, you literally cannot win or dodge or evade and you just have to sit there getting raped over and over until the mission timer ends. What a great balancing job, PA. Fucking incredible.
>>583615951Ill use only European names for a month so I make up for me hurting their European feelingsIt'll be my penance
>>583615867Blow it our your ass anon. You tell others to act like an adult yet you throw a god damn tantrum.>>583615951Absolutely.>>583615953Let's not go this way, most european countries are this close to electing dictators if they promise to line and shoot brown people in the street, as well as put boomers in work camps.Whether you think this is good or bad is up to you, but im more trying to address that people will accept anything if it serves their purpose and helps their daily life.The balkans are no different.
>>583615657cosy bombing is unironically the best way to rack up point in warfare if the retards are too busy spinning arround each other.I easily get over 120k if people ignore me long enough
>minor type
>still only 2 scrambles Please just give me a 3rd so I can finish that dumb challenge. Why are they more rare than emergency sorties for me?
>>583615305Distant Thunder > Shattered Skies, because you get the titledrop in the first cutscene.
>>583615862Nah. It’s more like the Norse model where everyone gets an afterlife that suits them. Fighter pilots get to be birds or whatever. Tankers get to experience the joys of real war with no bullshit super weapons or boneless fighter pilots. Submariners get clean sheets and endless selection of anime. And so on.
>>583616724The title drop in the final briefing is more kino though
So was Jackpot 9 the daughter of the broadcast lady from ep 3 of Zero Hour?
>>583612761Anyone?
So I just finished Wings of Steve. The entire first part felt like a big "Ghost of Kiev" thing, and the second half felt like setup for Electrosphere. They did similar with Skies Unknown, with the whole fear of AI drones thing until it became real in the eastern european drone war. I didn't get a current events thing from Fires of Liberation or the earlier games, am I just a brainlet or are they trying to mirror current events more?
>>583616830>Last name is Tan>Flies a HarrierIf she's not, it's a hell of a coincidence
so what's the reason behind a shitbox knows for turning like shit being able to 180 at mach 3 instantly
>>583616275>(anons)Hey guys we need to pick 0 vs O>(Me)Look at the cover, it's zero>(Europoor) Actually there's no zero in Europe>(Me) Who asked you?>(Europe) TantrumI feel like you're just here to start shit and with the way you keep backing down and rising up, keep shit goingWhich again, on brand for belkans and europoors

>>583612698Lock-on range is the visual cone where lock-on can happen, lock-on distance well... distance.
>>583618427How many of this game's mods are offline-only? All of them?
>>583618740what's range then
>little over four hours>barely four scrambles (last one proc'd as I was about to quit)>not a single emergency sortieGuess I'm not earning any General Blueprints today, holy fuck.
>>583618960All of them. EAC doesn't like you modifying the game with pak files.
What campaign parts are you using? No Queen's custom this time around I'll usually just slap on Next gen/Superior Maneuverability/ECU update. Faster reload and better guidance at the least.
>>583618967how long/far a missile is able to chase a target(?)
>>583618960one anon here got b& from online instantly so assume all of them
I'm taking the MiG-29A to 20 and no-one can stop me. I'll be the last bumblebee motherfucker in the sky if I have to be.
>>583619115Speaking of 7 used to like the Airbrake in that one but this time around I'm not running into the problem of overshooting planes.
>come to /aceg/>Share tips on the missions>Complain about difficulty >Reminisce about the plotOR>Blog about a genuinely dogshit online modeTo what end?Is it performative?
>>583619491where else can I go to do either or both in which I'm confident that the reader may fully relate?
>replay mission 14 for Ace S rank>use already obtained aircraft>game still puts me in the bitch planecome on
>>583617297Apparently they did something to make everything turn like shit at top speed. For most planes that's 2500-2600km/h, but the Foxhound happily does well over 3000, so it never gets near that agility nerf zone.Or at least that's the explanation I've heard.
>>583619638Well you did obtain it
>>583619638are u stupid
why the heck are they going to put the soundtrack on streaming services?
>>583619638dumbass
>>583619736yeah, down with the streaming services!!!!
>>583619638Obtained option only means being able to use non carrier planes in carrier mission, this one specifically is entirely scripted so enjoy the A6 and take the fucking shortcut
>>583618967Range is how far your missile can chase a target
>>583619604It's more me asking why you put yourself through that genuinely shit mode without asking you
>>583620002>>583619135so if i want to be able to lock at 2500 i need lock on distance, not missile range right?
>>583619842I meant to say when but I had a brainfartpersonally I prefer to download my soundtracks but I'll settle for streaming at this point
>>583616275>Let's not go this way, most european countries are this close to electing dictators if they promise to line and shoot brown people in the street, as well as put boomers in work camps.>Whether you think this is good or bad is up to you, but im more trying to address that people will accept anything if it serves their purpose and helps their daily life.>The balkans are no different.the difference is that europe already has (had?) a civilised society with a benevolent controlling class until democracy took hold over the last century and dragged every single european country through the mud, smashing and bruising it all along the way, until the current day with no signs of stopping. the EU is so obviously ruled by malevolent aristocrats who live in their own bubble that they refuse to even acknowledge the concerns of the regular people of the country, i.e. during the last heatwave the EU commission building turning off the A/C for the lower floors where the plebs work but keeping it on for the upper floors where they work. it took less than a century for european liberal democracy to rape to death what took a thousand years of monarchistic struggle to achievefrankly, getting rid of democracy would be an improvement at this point but it'll still be a long uphill battle to get back to the position of prestige that they once inhabitedthe balkan countries on the other hand were never civilised like western or even eastern europe. their period of prolonged stagnation under the ottomans meant that they missed out on the crucial ethnic sorting and statecrafting periods that the rest of europe got to enjoy and are now stuck in this quasi late-modern era of statehood. they can either spend the next three centuries performing trial and error just to attain what everybody else had a hundred years ago already or they can bypass all of that and use the shortcut of authoritarianism to rapidly modernise
>>583620123>Wants to lock at longer range but not have the range to compensateWhy though
>>583617164Anon, AC7 released 3 years before the war in Ukraine started.Also AC5 had some pretty obvious potshots taken at the war in Iraq.
>>583620123Yes.
>>583620168no worries, I was giving you a hard time.I'm in the same boat. Based on what Bandai Namco Game Music has been doing,a download release across multiple platforms should coincide with a streaming launch.
>>583612761>>583617080
>>583615056Generally because back then it was a crapshoot if things were going to get released in all territories. So if you made everything look a bit more standalone if the sequel didn't get released but the one after that did you didn't get into messy territory.
>messing with my aircraft sets>AC7 VR Hanger music comes on
>>583612761>>583617080i think every rank past first sergeant is just 5k
>>583620930Sooo Europeans don't know what FF7 is?
>Ace pass shows and update>There's nothing
so are they just going to paywall every single new aircraft?I fucking hate battle passes so much, bros...
>>583621330probably not, i'm guessing they will also add more in the zoll shop
>>583621330The worst part is the ace skins, you could get them pretty reasonably in 7
>>583620202>benevolent controlling class Ah yes, go die in stupid wars because I fucked my half sister. Very benevolent.
>>583621429yeah that's a major gripe I've got with the game>ac7just kill an ace or whatever, you can use your shit in mp as you please>ac8grind a timegated currency and then play the same 6 3 minute missions for hours until your plane gets access to a non-slop skin (just one though)
>>583621121I didn't say it was a universally employed tactic, also that was a generation before this approach was the mainstay. We had FF7 as FF7 but Shadow Hearts 2 as Shadow Hearts Covenant (also SH2 is a better JRPG, fuck you squaretards)
alright my bad
Give me a reason to open the multiplayer mode. So far i've heard literally nothing appealing about the mode.
>>583622507there is none
>>583622507You get fun short missions that are nice to optimise. A nice grind for making planes better, and we're likely to get more interesting and difficult versions of the boss fights later.
>>583622507Claim your Morgan for single player if you preordered deluxe
>>583622609!!! BAMCO EXECUTIVE POST !!!!!! DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN !!!
>>583621465even in a family of good people like with royalty, there's always going to be one or two bad eggs no matter what. keeping that in mind, those aristocrats were also the ones who participated in those "stupid wars", often times dying while leading from the front. you can't even imagine how ordinary people so loved their nobility until you hear written accounts of what it was like back then - these people spoke of them as if they were their own loving parents, or even gods, at times. this was reciprocated often enough that it'd surprise youwhen was the last time you saw a democratically-elected politician dying for their people or leading from the front?
>>583621429SP skins not being available in MP is the most scumfuck thing ever Can't wait for the lux lunae livery to be dlc! At least you can get all 20 of the same fucking joker squadron tailfins!
>>583622664I just liked Ace infinity mayne, and I want to believe in the new online (once we're out of TDM event hell)
ACO gonna die fast if they don't bring more missions
the only way to save the game would be adding actual 15+ minute missions with four players in total, culminating in an actual boss fightor raids
>>583622714erusean hands typed this
>>583621229EVERY TIME
>>583622714It's been said the Russian nobility played upon the "need" of the average Russian to be controlled, like being a serf or a peasant is just a genetic predisposition of the average RussianI wonder if that applies to other cultures
>>583622845Yes missions quantity is the problrm, not the fact that a carbon copy of a f2p game format is attached to this 70 dollar game
>>583621229the game MUST inform you that you have in fact gained 15 ace pass points and thus have gotten closer to progressing to the next levelit's in your BEST INTEREST to be aware
>>583623123The f2p game worked, the main thing people wanted was to not play 3 times a day unless they wanted to paypig or immediately be incapable of having a chance of getting rewards in the next event. It's just we're still operating at 10% of the actual f2p game.
>>583622845you could make another 300 of these shitty missions and ACO would still be bad
>>583622714Ah yes, they were so beloved people eventually rebelled and stuck their heads on pikes. >these people spoke of them as if they were their own loving parents, or even gods, at timesBecause they truly believed in the divine right of Kings. Once that belief was broken and they saw the King as just a man the reverence soon vanished. >leading from the frontGeorge Washington, obviously. Also the GOAT Charles the Gaulle was on the battlefield even if he wasn't on the very front. Plenty of politicians also fought in wars before getting elected, it wasn't that rare, especially for the generation that fought in WW2. The reason you can't find any modern examples is that modern liberal democracies don't start stupid wars. Aside from an authoritarian bully to the east Europe has been at peace for 70 years and that's also the period where most countries dropped their empires and either got rid of their monarchs or reduced them to figureheads with no real power.
The menus are too convenient. Frankly I would have gotten rid of them and forced people to run around the base lagging the place up and making it a little livelier. >>583621229Pretty sure its just tracking every instance of pass XP. But also some other sub menus might be bugged and also throwing up ! for no reason. Why would missions be doing it?
>>583622937They need to give actual thought to phases and incentivize playing a roleWhat kind of dumb fuck mission format is>4+4 players expected to share only so many targets on the mapOr worse>5 minutes timersThat's nothing but stress and tedium, and in service of what? A rewarding late game? Seal clubbing PvP? Fuck that
>>583623308Infinity worked because the franchise was dying and people were desperate enough to dump money into it to keep it afloat. It was not a good game.
>>583623308Ah yes because my favorite part of ace combat is chatterless resource dumps with so little time that crashing my plane on purpose is a Hallmark of playing well
>>583622937They already kind of do have it with assault but the small time limit hurts it bad>But its PVP!I don't see two teams fighting the same enemies as PVP im sorry
Did they reveal anything about ACO post release? Plans? anything
>The 1st Land Battleship>actually just shin godzilla reimagined>soundtrack included
How often did infinity get content updates?
>>583623957a lot in the span of 4 years.>naval warfare>sky kid>ac3 planes>godzilla>excalibur>idolmaster
I swear to fuck the next time the 7 others in the match instalock LAAM or SAAM fighters vs Alicorn or Chandelier I will lose it
>>583623752What the FUCK do you want from a game mode that's meant to be replayed over and over? If you put chatter there you'll be fucking sick of it by the 3rd run. Especially when they roll out the actually punishing modes.
Did anyone even manage to clear Alicorn yet?
>Go do cozy bombing runs in warfare>gain ace for no other reason than doing my job>have the entirity of alpha team chase me spamming missiles for 5 mins straight while the rest of my teammates go kill npcs.i hate that this works
>>583624552Yes?I've never failed any sortie after the first week
>free mission 28 ace>get 120k this time>can't land a single hit on the shadows, keeping guns on them for more than two frames a pass is impossible>loose my cool and eat missiles until I dieepic, very cool mission, so fun to get S rank on
>>583624574It's my favourite shit to get the enemies trapped in the retard spiral.
>>583624192If they would actually shoot down the fighters instead of leaving them flying around, I’d be fine with it.
>>583624620I''m getting paired with retards
>>583624552yea i cleared it a few timesI just use the F15E with SFFS
>>583624639You can S rank it with guns only on Ace, stop being bad.
>>583624639Such a disappointment.I can’t think of another Ace Combat mission that goes from being so good to being one I hope to never have to replay again
Here we go again>HVAA
>>583623417>modern liberal democracies don't start stupid wars:^)
>>583624892F-14A HVAA is probably better than F-4E HVAA tbdesu. And that's the only thing you can even fly as a new pilot.
>>583624998Americans don't count, they're not even a real democracy anymore, just a corporate oligarchy.
>>583624648nuggets in the F-14 can't catch me. it's so funny.now please give me my berkut. i will not buy a single plane past that.
did anyone have the raven model they're using IG?
>>583625165Oh no problem, you can have the berkut, but it's going to cost you like 300k ZOLL to level it.

>>583624253I've replayed the same missions in plenty of coop slop games and you definitely can make the background dialog not dogshitthere's a middle ground between what we got now and excessively annoying drivel
this is fucking disgusting
the american jet loadouts feel so underwhelming in this game compared to the other ace combats.
>>583625347Can we have THAT in the OP?
>>583625845id to it and ban evade but the new system they have in place of solving 10 captchas and it slowly decreases as you accumulate good boy points literally incentivizes me to not get banned because I like solving only one piss easy captcha instead of 10 nigger ones
did they add actual fun PVE content in infinite?

Actually, that remind me.Have I reached the peak of Mount stupid, or was it retarded of the crew to move Baxter via the deck elevator rather than down through the stairs and passageways?Granted, it probably wouldn’t have changed anything, but it still bothered me.
Baxter
>Tasha nooo i dont want to killso why dont we put her in an ECM plane
>>583627954I'd imagine going via the deck elevator is the preferred method, the stairwells are probably too steep and narrow for a stretcher bearer.
MP is literally unplayable with LAAMS
>>583628179because she deserves a maneouverable plane to do silly tricks in
>>583628179She flies only agile planesKilling Sotoans is better than flying trash cans

>>583623417>Ah yes, they were so beloved people eventually rebelled and stuck their heads on pikes.those weren't ordinary people, anon. the french revolution was headed entirely by the upper class who had an axe to grind with the nobility. if you look into the history of revolts, you'll find that there has never really been a single case where regular people were in charge of it, it's always been those with high influence leading the rest>Because they truly believed in the divine right of Kings. Once that belief was broken and they saw the King as just a man the reverence soon vanished.that's not how it played out at all. it took well over a century after the fact, in addition to the creation of socialism, in addition to the creation of the middle class, for monarchy to transform into ostensibly liberal democracy, which i might add, is just a facade for the true power players behind it, namely plutocratic bankers and fake moneymen who are all heavily involved with demonic ritualism (as if the epstein revelations is forgotten on people already)>George Washington, obviously. Also the GOAT Charles the Gaullegeorge washington was sequentially in charge of the army and only when the war of independence was over and his soldering days put to rest was he in charge of a nation that was a de jure liberal democracy but denied that same political aspect to a large proportion of its constituents, ergo it is acceptable to say that the early US was a timocratic plutocracy just as much as it was a liberal democracy, so george washington is struck off the list of examples. as for "charles the gaulle", his government was literally fabricated in his head and the allies played along with him because vichy france was their enemy. his government consisted of the army and nothing more, so i'm afraid that neither of your examples hold any water. i'm not even going to address the rest of your post for sheer inaccuracy reasonsi really suggest you read more political history, buddy
So can you just run premade squads through the actual game? If the squadron system lets you play with people that at least kinda know what they're doing, that'd help a lot with the "my team is nothing but incompetent FUCKS" issue.
