>>
>>583676173
no it doesn't, this game is using some dumbass class system which mean you need fighters to do maximum damage and your bars will directly affect your damage output.

Now do you actually need a specialised killer for arsenal bird?
Lmao no, this shit is the easiest sortie by far, just slow down and dump your entire MG and missiles and it will die
>>
>>583676374
Continental war Eruseans were pretty nakedly belligerant fascists, I can't really see ACES making a game where you're on that side
>>
>>583676505
I wasted my entire MG payload and most of my missiles taking it down because 3/4ths of my team was just shooting the chassis instead of aiming for the actual targets.

they really should've put in some sort of obstacle course into online, they already have the rings to fly through in the tutorial I can't imagine it would've been too hard to make
>>
>>583676632
>>583676634
SP bars and plane bars absolutely affect damage.
Using the same SP on a multirole will do significantly less damage.
And increasing bars enough will help you reach oneshot breakpoints like being able to single LAAM blackwidows and such

You say that as if it matters. You get the same combat XP, the same pilot XP, and Zoll differences are barely noticeable. The sin here is having 'classes' at all, but gameplay wise they change nothing. If people didn't say it I bet 99% of players wouldn't even notice a difference.

consistanly winning warfare because you're getting 150k while the retarded fighter killing ground targets is in the low 40s ramps up your zoll gains quite a bit and being able to queu into sorties knowing you can solo it yourself in case you get a team of bots is huge qol

Typhoon is 4aam
Su-35S is multirole
>>
>>583676916
none as far as i know, best you get is 4AAM on f22 or typhoon.

If you mainly want the best possible DPS for arsenal bird then the answer is a bit different tho, Barricader or growler will not only spam missiles fast as fuck but you also buff your entire team
>>
>>583677198
Does a f22 do more 4aam dmg than typhoon 4aam?
Does typhoon 4aam do more than flanker because
>lol multirole
>>
>>583677285
I don't think anyone knows for sure, by the numbers yet; it's all vibe based conclusions
>>
>>583677285
On paper it should since higher bars and f22 also gets a CD reduction skill on 4AAMs and missile buffs.

Keep in mind that while the class buffs are a thing i don't think there's any math autists that did real data on it yet

Have you ever gotten a friend to play a game you really liked, but you already no lifed it but wanted to see how they react to a scenario? That’s the appeal of streaming. That and like sometimes you learn new shit from watching people who do know how a game works.


That and there’s genuinely like some games I don’t want to touch but I’ll scope someone else playing it, like observation duty types for example.

I got some people trying to ask me to do MP with them. I know that they are particularly bloodthirsty dogfighting series veterans. Currently I play on like Veteran difficulty and am pretty familiar with Ace Combat in general, I wonder if I'd just be a burden or not even if I am assuming I would just be used as live bait while doing ground strikes in an Phantom

You probably don't want to do Warfare though, because you'll definitely be playing as bait if the enemy team decides to go after you

I think you’ll be fine. I emulated the holy trinity, 7 and played Project Wingman, and I still consistently score second place because I choose to bomb stationary targets in an F-18C rather than force myself to do player dogfights. Team balancing in this game is kind of dog water but you’re not forced to do pure dogfight pvp unless it’s like Comona on warfare rotation or something. Even so, there’s plenty of npc targets to fight too. Just expect to have a kick me sign if you do a bit too well, but if that ever happens, dodging people for 5 mins straight is still credit to team because now everyone else can actually shoot down stuff just fine.

Also I run into more war thunder players online than I do Ace combat players and I can tell because war thunder players have a very particular type of playstyle and it shows when they do play.

It’s hard to describe, and more of a feeling.

But your average ace combat player flies far more suicidal than your average war thunder player, and is more likely to engage in jousting and less on itano circus antics if that makes any sense.

Ace combat kinda lulls you into the joust mindset, he'll Pixy, probably the most famous boss of the series requires a joust to beat, while warthunder is you vs enemy vs Gaijin programing, which has 100% of something really wacky happening, and since it tries to be BVR and most hits are kills people tend to keep a safe distance. God damm those fuckers make 100x of what aces does and can't keep a game bug free for shit

In fairness to him the previews did make it seem like there would be branching paths depending on what happens, including wingmen deaths.

Okay fine I'm not allowed to kill them fine. But next time please tell me that ahead of time instead of punishing me for killing the enemy right in front of me. You fuck.

I’ve spooked a few players by doing Kulbit in the F18C. I play in first person mode so I cant follow up by gunning them down properly, but it does keep a lot of aggressive pilots on their toes when I do it. Doing dumb shit like that, or getting immediately mugged by some asshole with QAAM’s is something you can immediately clock an AC vet on doing, and less from a War Thunder player.

It took me a few days longer, but I finally finished the campaign (there's a good fix for crashes around now thankfull).
You notice they actually had money this time and it can feel a little too movie-ish and Western at times. Overall I think it's a great game however, from a story, mission design and gameplay standpoint. I like the move towards more weighty aircraft too.
There's somewhat of a dry spell in the middle from mission 12 to 16/17, but it's definitely not AC5 bad in that regard. Practically all missions from 18 onwards are great or borderline all-timers in exchange. The final mission was kind of a letdown unfortunately, but I guess they just had to tie up those loose ends.
More focus on your squadmates and giving them arcs was a great decision. Overall I've found all of them likeable. The supporting cast is decent too.
Coster's arc unfortunately kind of ends after mission 8 and he feels very "just there" for most of the game, even when Baxter makes him your number 2 and he has his little amped up moment in mission 27. Baxter dying was too predictable, although both his and Kate's presumed death make the game much more personal. I love how you don't feel invincible as a squad and how everyone has their personal crisis to work through. (You) aren't exempt either. I didn't think they'd go as far as implying suicide by missile from survivor's guilt and depression though.
I think my personal ranking of AC games I've played is 4>0=8>5=6 now.

Questions:
>It's certain Enso sabotaged the tanker drones in mission 13, but why didn't they blow up earlier? Is this just where they decided to kill the Wings program?
>How does the Tonitrus shoot at Rio Bajo? I thought it's limited to the Rainband and the area east of it.

I think the explanation for Rainband is that the spear can hit static targets anywhere, but in the Rainband it has live laser tracking to also hit ships
Why they dont spear the fish cannery base instead of sending a battleship there? Fuck you that's why

The sattelite needs to orbit arround where the target is supposedly so they can't just shoot anywhere thet want

Regarding the incident with the two drone tankers, it may be that the EO wanted someone, Rex + Baxter or otherwise, to escort the rebel transport through FCU separatist-controlled airspace and ensure its safe landing. It is revealed in the cutscene before M28 that the transport carried the X-40 Nightmare, of which the packaging was designed to survive the explosion. It was a delivery to Tewy. That's why she was in the area at all. The reason why it was placed in a C-130 sold to a rebel group is to obfuscate the Enso Order's involvement. Whether or not the EO bet on Rex and Baxter being there, and their survival via ejection, I'm not sure about. There's contrivance, yes, but you know how it goes.

either Ray is a schizo with survivors guilt, Cope purposely killed himself because he was tired of having to fight his own native people, or Cope is actually a sublimation.
>>
>>583682795
I more wonder how embarassing it is when Rex inevitably ends up with constipation due to eating expired MREs or not getting enough nutrients due to being undersupplied. Then Rex spends quite a long time in the latrine while Cope muses about it

Dunno! Maybe I didn't pay attention enough to make the [clear] connection.

It must have been components for the X-40 or something, there's no way that fat fuck would fit inside a C-130, even in pieces.

I had the "main villain is named tewi and symbolizes the moon" line of thought
Genuinely wondering if there is some correlation in the name creation, i don't know moonrunes (heh) enough to speak on it.
>>
>>583684073
>Her full name is Tewi Inaba (因幡てゐ). Unlike Reisen Udongein Inaba, the "Inaba" in Tewi's name is written using kanji which refer to the Inaba Province (因幡国 Inaba no Kuni) in historical Japan. Additionally, the legend of the "White Rabbit of Inaba" (因幡の白兎 Inaba no Shirousagi, a.k.a "The Hare of Inaba" in English) is a story with which Tewi is frequently associated, and may well be the source of her name
it's just a funny coincidence, Tewi only associates with a moon rabbit but she's an earth one herself

"Cope" and "Tewy" aren't very Dutch surnames, honestly. Rage and Scream's "Van Dalsen" is much more like it and they're (probably North) Osean.
