Why'd strangereal have transofrmer-based AI as implied by the editing cutscene when they have way better actual AIs?

Dear PA: I am willing to forgive a lag in Online content if you fix these hellish menus
>>583882297Please respond.
>>583882701idk
>>583882565>Davenport stadiumJej
Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
>>583882297You (or your wingmen) have to take out all of the targets and not let the Queens take one.
>>583882297you need to kill all the targets before Queen flight gets any. if you hear tasha ask something like "Wow, Kate's really cleaning them up huh?" then you fucked up and need to restart
>>583882117The cockpit is for piloting, bunks are for boning.
>>583882297Cuck kate out of getting kills like you're playing online coop.
>FCU navy air force>Joker, Jackpot, Dealer, Queen, King, etc>FCU army>Deathless, Immortals>FCU navy>Endurance, Bravery, Stalwart, Dauntless, etcOkay pretty clear theming>FCU air force>Purple Magic??? That's Osean shit
>>583882848However! I got the medal after Queen tallied a kill with the ship's defences, so I think you only need to beat them at the first phase of the mission.
>>583882924>FCU army>Immortalsthey're marine corps, actually
What will we most likely see for DLC missions? Feels like we should have had some missions that take place over Sotoan lands.
>>583883014Okay you got me, were Deathless a marine company too? I don't remember.
>>583876131This is a longshot.EAC gave me hard crashes 1) because Malwarebytes was running (I was long overdue to uninstall it anyhow)2) motherfucking LOGITECH GHUB (I replaced it with something else)My suggestion being that your crashes might be the result of an interactionnot between EAC and the game, or with any other EAC-enabled game you might have installed,but with some third-party software that you'd never suspect at first.Good luck with the troubleshooting.
>>583883058I just hope we get more shenanigans with the molemen
>>583883058I'd like a prelude to the story that unfolds in 8 itself.
>>583883058please get me off of Usea already
>>583883058finna play as tasha's mom
>>583882297This is the one thing the F-35's good for, cruise missiles and 8 AGM, your objective is to quickly make progress on the right side of the map by taking out their targets with cruise missiles while dealing with the stuff close to you with the 8AGM, you'll want the air to ground lock on range parts, and both the generic air to ground missile and LACM specific reload parts. Of course, all 3 engine parts are a given but I'd also recommend taking the homing, reload, flight speed and lock on range parts for the standard missiles to reliable take care of the drones, don't know if they can shoot down drones but god knows I didn't wanna risk it.
>>583883418Seems too disconnected from the main game to be a dlc. Doubt it.
A parachute is just another target.
>>583883418that's a prequel game like zero to 5
>>583882924fcu navy also has mythological creatures
Do we ever play as the aggressor faction? I want to be on the side with the superweapons
>>583883746you play as the bad guys in Zero

>>583883879>are there actually attractive females in this gameThere are some....
I still don't quite understand Shark Squadron. Can someone explain? Why defect and come back?
>>583883157We did kind of get a bit of that with the tiny miniseries they put out. DLC missions that focus around those pilots would both be interesting and a distinct possibility.FUND IT.
>>583883982i unironically enjoy going fast and ground pounding, so i'm having funi really want more emergency sorties though
>>583884007heh heh
>>583883879Yes, her name is Su-57
>>583883925>new medal acquired
>finish the game>life is shit again
>>583884119Some people just want to back the winning horse.
>>583884119there were two sotoan fleets in the harbour where their kids lived, they didn't really have much of a choice to defect. Also they don't even engage you unless you fly into their range.
>>583883982I'm not because they won't let me due to my choice in operating system.

>>583884871just wait for more dlc :^)
>>583884847
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CANQPVgHkMConsidering how much fun I had with AC2/3 circa 2003 when I was only 10 years old, If I got to play something that looked and sounded like THIS at the age of 10 today, I would probably ejaculate on the spot.I envy kids these days. I truly do.
I want to fly the XFA-27 again, it'd be great because it's carrier capable too and unlike 7, STM are good in this one.
>>583884847russian planes are so funus americans are so serious in comparison
>>583884871I wish the ADA-01 ADLER to be acknowledged and not just be in the artbooks or with Ace Combat Infinity
>>583885167when the ladons opened up their wings the first thing i though of was the adler with how they're "feathered" at the tips
>>583885167I don't think the Adler's taking off from a carrier.
>>583884871Your harrier??
>>583885256we need to put the belkans to work on carriers, if they can put the fucking aigaion in the sky they can do something like that for the seastrangereal navy tech is really lagging behind outside of the yukes and their subs
>>583885094Ace Combat needs a boss plane based on the sea monster
>su25 in warfare>nuking ships with cluster bombs>enemy fulcrum starts tailing me> <<Cover me!>>>waste his time circling and dodging for a minute until a friendly gets in and kills him in one pass> <<Thank you!>>>get MVP from nuking shipsHonestly attacking navy is the only way to have fun ground attacking in warfare
>got both AC8 and AC0 port on my xbox>been switching off playing one mission of each at a timelife is grand
What's the story behind Kate's tacname, do you reckon?
>doing ace campaign+fighter only, shoring up any missed S ranks with free missions>then guns+multi (F-4E+MG pods) on whatever the lowest difficulty option still qualifies>still left with two runs that can't be paired with anything in attacker and EWMan, they really ask a lot this time around. Also, the last special ace I got was the dude in Moon 11's kill mission, the Su-57, with his description reading that he was dead all along in his cellar. Was it a ghost, or was it AI/COFFIN shenanigans?
>>583885771i figure someone just assumed his identity
>>583883794That's open to interpretation.
>>583885391We had something like that during the old 404 Squadron RP...
>>583885727First thing that came to mind when I saw it was that somehow a bee got sealed in the cockpit with her and she freaked out about it.
Any tips for S-rank M28 on Elite/Ace? Is it even possible with restarts?
>have 2 missions left>3 AM fuck
With the Ladons and Banker sq I almost hope there's two paths in game leading to two different missions like in 5Should we help them Ray?Pick [Yes], lead to 15A, Ladon boss fightorPick [No], mission end, start of 15.5, with the loss of Grindylow fleet meaning Endurance is up next
>>583885484What do you like about navy over ground targets?If a dumb bomb lands in the water, does it still do its full damage to ships in its aoe?>>583885771You forgot no damage
>>583886034HPAA the bombers, you should already have ~100k points before it even becomes a score mission.
>>583886063if you pick No your squad agrees and tasha mentions playing cards while they're busy
>>583885727damn bees
>>583886034About 125k before the shadows should be enough if you can deal with them quickly.SASM makes the entire mission a breeze, but your options aren't that great until you get the Game.
>thought I successfully pulled off a kulbit>didn't get the achievement for it:^(
>>583886074>no damageOh, right, nice. That'll have to be EW, the thought of trying to dodge everything as an attacker just sounds awful.
>>583886168but those were cosmetics. I want it more like AC5's coin flip. Choice of conversation leading to two different missions
>>583886182>50k time bonusWhat the fuck
>>583886074The points for killing ships are the only thing somewhat comparable with planes, so youre not plinking trucks for a 100ptsAnd im not sure! I just drop SFFS roughly center mass and it reliably deletes carriers.It's fun to line up on ships, plus they always have low flying plane coverage you can shoot with MSLs for some extra change. Atlough i only really have it mind that one map with the carrier strike group
>>583886294SASM clicked and I cheesed the shadows real quick.
Upcoming Update Plans for ACE COMBAT 8 and Matchmaking Status in ONLINE MODE
>>583886228You gotta do a full circle without stall. The Morgan always stalls no matter how close you are to 500 before starting. Do it on tge Su-47, it's waaaaay easier.
>>583886346So "fuck you, Linux users" then?
>>583886393>full circle without stallHow? Isn't stalling what makes it a PSM?
>>583886438Without the stall warnings popping up and stopping your rotation, I mean.
>>583886346TOTALMIGGERDEATHINCOMING
>>583886346>People are playing AC8 off of spinning rustI get that SSD prices are fucked right now but it still feels like no excuse in 2026 if you are playing games.
>>583886294The max is actually 57k.
>>583886346>Patchnotes>minor stability improvements>fixed a bug you've never heard of>reduced UGBL load by 1>there will be no further communication
>>583886346I wonder if they'll just nerf LAAMs, nerf the Foxhound, or both.
Well, since I haven't seen dataminers get the AC8 original sound files and share them, I've decided to share my copy of the OST bundled with the JP Collector's Box USB stick for you /vg/. The files in the USB stick are WAV so I encoded them to FLAC, added tags and transcoded them to AAC and MP3 with an m3u8 playlist in the folder. The stick also came with some tracklists and music sheets with lyrics in PDF that I included in the RAR files too, so enjoy:FLAC (2.1 GB): https://storage.to/X31WqEZgOAAC (263.5 MB): https://storage.to/h0I5sQYFEMP3 (170.3 MB): https://storage.to/0sqL3ZFVSPassword: /aceg/The links expire in 7 days from now.
How would Strangereal handle the discovery of Newtypes anyway?A significant part of Gundam is how human society should deal with Newtypes given they're an evolution and technically aren't afforded the same rights by the written law. With the counter argument of giving them rights using the fact that they will cause regular humans to go extinct with how dangerous they are.
>>583886832bro you are too kind
>>583886741>Patchnotes>Fix minor bugs>Minor performance improvements>Balance changes made
>>583886832<< Thanks Buddy >>
>>583886832lemme smash
>>583886651QAAM/SASM cheese it is then. Gating ~50k points behind TIme Bonus on a mission where 160k is the S rank with a missile immune enemy is crazy

>>583886832where were you when anon was too based for this general/site本当にありがとう、クソ野郎
>>583886832>supporting her from the rearMrs. Tasha we can explain, No need to wipe out Joker squadron..
>>583887095you're still not hitting shit since they all turn as soon as your missile drops, it's SASM or nothing
>>583887148i killed 22 with qaams
>>583886770Cap LAAMs at 10-12 per plane running single spw. Half that for dual spw. That keeps them relevant in its role for sniping high value targets, interrupting furballs, countering ew (which I think would become oppressive without LAAM / HVAA) but makes it so you have to actually think about when and where to use it instead of deleting a map's worth of air at a time.Nerf Foxhound pitch.That's honestly all that's needed
>>583887252once in a lifetime occurence, congrats
Man this thing actually kinda sucks
>>583887387think ur just ass bud
>>583884140how cool would it be if there were completely unmarked vehicles like that one that you couldn't lock onto but you had to destroy them all in order to unlock something speciallike destroying the random star targets in ACX for mod parts, or the random hangars in AC5 for... Falken parts, I think?but with a crazy mystery / scavenger hunt / "the community has to figure this out" aspect to itor is that too Destiny 2 brained
>>583886649M.2s were pretty cheap before all the AI kikery too
>>583884128>We did kind of get a bit of that with the tiny miniseries they put out.Did that ever get released in English?The only options that I've seen are Japanese (which I don't know) or YouTube's auto-dubbed version (which is always terrible).
>>583883794only at the start of the gameby the end, you're stopping insane guys who are worse than you>>583884775yeah pretty much
>>583887406or you nailed him before the rest of his goons, he gets a power up when he's last man standing lil bro
>>583887438>AI kikery tooIt's literal kikery.AI isn't even profitable. They're buying up everything under the sun from investor money and government grants that they got by promising features that they don't even know they can deliver on.When this shit goes belly up, it will be the biggest wealth redistribution since the fucking industrial revolution
>>583887673I swear the goons get lobotomized if you take out 22 first, too.

PA is running out of superweapon ideas
>>583887828>>583876275and you can tell he's the last kill because i included the fade-to-black of the replay ending
>>583887902holy shit
>>583887893Alright then genius, what are your ideas that haven't already been done?
>>583887893I mean, orbital strike is the most practical thing to do in warfare, what else do you want?
>>583887893>>583887963I'm surprised we haven't gotten something adjacent to the Spirit of Motherwill yet
>>583887963the buzzsaw things from gundam f91
>>583887893They should use /aceg/'s ekranoplaneOr just a giant evil tunnel
>>583887963nta, but since we got land battleships how about we get an ekranoplan boss for killing carriers
Why is the F-14A separate DLC when I already have the extra special paypig edition
>>583887963Anthrax but instead of killing you it gives you a massive boner and makes you permanently horny.
>>583886346SASMs are going to get nerfed too
>>583888080Wasn't it a preorder thing?
>>583888108why do you say fuck SASM for? That shit tickles
>>583887963Nuclear walking battle tank
Is this really the hardest S-Rank Ace mission? First try. In fact I think I've only not gotten S on two missions in my first Ace playthrough, though I can't recall which. Expo City and the one after maybe?
>>583888080It's not for you, you have it. Go to menu, info, special items (3rd option), and redeem all your stuff. The separate bundle in the store is for normal edition players that want it.
>>583888251honestly either you kill the shadows in a minute or they fuck around with you until your time bonus runs out, that's the rank determiner
>>583887963Hyper-advanced maglev trainIt can even be your endgame tunnel run
>>583887963An Ace Combat set in space with spaceships and one of your wingman is a cute anthropomorphic cheetah that you can bang.
>>583887963>>583887893 here, I didn't mean it as a bad thingIt's just getting harder and harder for me to think of stuff they could add to the gameWe've put railguns and lasers on just about everything now
>>583887090Aw man I missed this lady
Orbital superweapon is the only one that hasn't been done yet.
>>583887963I wanted giant donut-shaped blimp / flying wing things to proliferate during the blackout, whose non-military purpose would've been to act as sorta-high-altitude relays to restore some semblance of long-distance communications (and observation from above) until the satellite debris mess could be cleaned upand then, inevitably, people start putting weapons and fighter launch capabilities on thembut it would've been more like a TIE-fighter hangar, with the little arms that reach from above to catch a fighter when it comes into position or release it when it launchesand then, after fighting these things during the campaign, eventually you'd have some scenario where you actually launch from one of them, and when the grabber releases your plane you're just plummeting for a few seconds until you accelerate enough to overcome gravityI had all sorts of ideas for "what the next Ace Combat game could be," as I'm sure a lot of us toy around withbut now that a new game actually HAS come out, you have to completely recalibrate everything!
Is Project Wingman ironically more "realistic" about Land Battleships than AC8?
>>583888514This is what the Tonitrus Spear should have been, with an anti-sat mission
my wife kate (real)
>>583888563>massive sitting target>vulnerable to any amount of enemy air presence>only maybe viable as a mobile land superiority platform, only after air superiority has already been establishedYeah
>>583888193>>583888271MotherfuckerI have the Morgan and everything but I guess it was preorder yeah, I don't have Zero either
>>583888646hey, can you tell your wife I love herthanks
Some chinese guys seem to be working on OST extraction.https://github.com/Haibersut/ACE-COMBAT8-OST-Extraction
>>583888740Oh damn, that sucks man.
>>583888676Reminds me of the Arsenal Gear.
>>583888646more kate.>>583887090I saw galactic racer come out, but Ace combat 8 was my big purchase for the month so i'm getting as much mileage as i can out of it before i move onto a different game. It's not often I get to play an ace combat game.
final superweapon? a bigger version of this thing running through a forest preparing to fire a volley of MIRVs at cities all over the world
>>583888740they can release the F-14A as a separately-purchasable DLC for all of the newcomers, but not the old gamesthey can only make them preorder bonuses because they aren't allowed to make money on them directly, since the old games rely on a bunch of expired licensesalthough PA did say recently that they are really trying to find some way to renew the licenses for those old gamesmight've been posted on twitter, I forgetit was right around AC8's launch or right beforeso maybe you will be able to buy them eventuallyfor now, there's always emulation
>>583887963>no actual good ideas in replyPeople love to complain but offer no viable solutions
>>583887090>>583888504God damn. Let me play as a Yuktobanian Ace already!!!!!
>>583889124So do you have an idea or do you love complaining about complaining
>>583887090>go to update my drivers because why not>see this postspookycurrently running 617.14 and haven't crashed though, what's your GPU?
>>583889085>PA did say recently
>>5838892925080.The bug was present in early access. Community quickly figured out 610 downgrade was the way to go.
>>583889124my good idea is the everyone taking turns kicking you in the balls
>>583889124faggot
>>583889124wow, rudeI came up with giant blimps and and armored train chase through the mountains yesterday, then gave away my OC donut steel idea todaywhat's your great idea, then?
>>583889124>>583888935
>>583889336thanks for finding thatI thought I saw them say something about trying to do this for all of their past games, too
>>583889570>armored train chase through the mountains yesterdaythis could actually be a great one. if it were a high-speed bullet train that would be extra kino
>>583889681>>583800102>>583800962
Are the heavy howitzers online some sort of UGSF reference
>>583887963EkranoplansHuge super ekranoplans whose sheer size allows them to bypass the usual sea state limitations, and maybe their wings are big enough to support a short out of GE hop in a pinch
what actually happens if you select the "automatically pick wingman planes" option?did literally anyone here ever use that?
>>583887963It's been mentioned before but airships would be cool.
>>583888553This could have been the "birthplace" of the Sphyrna as the apex of weaponized airships
>>583889978>what actually happens if you select the "automatically pick wingman planes" option?For some reason Coster seem to always get the shittiest plane available.
>>583889978I used it for every mission, they just get assigned planes from the ones you have, it seems to prioritise mission type heavily and will put them in like A6 for ground missions as opposed to using a much better multirole like rafale.
>>583889978I couldnt bother selecting myself, it gives them anything to try and fill out the recommendation bars>>583890076I guess he's last, so joker 2 and 3 get dibs on better planes before him
>>583889978It makes your console/pc start spewing mustard gas
>>583887963I don't necessarily want a superweaponThunder clouds aren't enough. I want extreme weather, natural disasters, tornadoes, tsunamis, ice bergs and ice cliffs so tall they're a canyon run, and shooting the walls make them break and collapse into huge chunks that crush ground targets beneath them.Let me have a giant incoming asteroid that you have to shoot at and break up into smaller and smaller pieces like in that game, Asteroid. Or the rocket you shoot down in AC8. But multiple of them. I don't care if it's stupid, AC has made dumber shit work.Let there be a solar flare that causes seriously powerful northern and southern lights which cut deep into the lower atmosphere causing heavily radiated fluctuating areas through the mission area.Give me something in the environment that isn't just a backdrop or a visual theme for the level.They already have the right idea with AC7 canyon spires and AC8's cloud system.I want the enemy superweapon to shoot a railgun so powerful straight through an inactive volcano that was already close to exploding due to the magma inside being under such extreme pressure.I want to have to dodge the incoming pieces of the volcano that are going everywhere or shoot them down. Have it all take place during a dramatic theatrical encounter with the final boss.JUST MAKE IT BIG AND COOL AND FUN. HAVE THE NEXT GAME BE AN ISEKAI WHERE YOU AND YOUR HORNET GET SENT TO JRPG LAND AND YOU SHOOT DOWN DRAGONS.

>>583889978I used it a few times and it only chose what I had in mind like once. The rest felt like it picked by vibes.I usually like picking the Rafale for its LACM on wingmen. It's pretty useful when you have them disperse with special weapons permissions.
>>583890303To be honest, the delay where they say worthless shit before you can actually pick the plane just bothers my tism. Old wingmen selection was nice and snappy, could do it all in 5 seconds. It's like how mh world/wilds insists on every menu having some big gay transition, it's irksome.

>>583890974There is only one Gate anime worth watching.
>>583891351How do you get that one?
>>583891351hey, wait a minute...
>>583891413It unlocked for me automatically when I beat the first mission on Ace difficulty, I killed the spawnable ace and took no damage. Not sure which of those makes it happen. I also finished all the other aces skins before that.
>>583889570>>583889681would it be that great though? what if you flew in front of it and UGB'd the tracks? to have a proper bossfight, nothing would happen which would be lame. It would be a lot of work from a gamedev standpoint for little gain (Train explodes differently depending on which car you hit, how it derails if you destroy the tracks, etc etc). I guess you could make it an SCMaglev supertrain as a setpiece for an escort mission, but even then I don't see how it could be that exciting.
>>583891630then what the fuck DO you like
supreme soldier is so annoying to get, but the FALKEN is worth it, i will have my tls fueled revenge on that one fucking growler after the third bridge
>>583891630Not him, but make the first couple cars and engine shielded by the other cars, have them have the capability to breakaway instead of pulling the rest of the train off the track. Now you've got a nice long chase boss fought where you kill off segments piece of by piece.
>>583891351Okay that does fuck hard.
>>583889570>>583889681>>583891630>>583891854Hasn't ac3 already done the train thing?
>>583891885It sort of did. There was a mission where you blow up a train.
>>583891528Nice catch. I was trying to think of something that had the same motif from AC3 but was coming up empty.
Newbie here, are there some good must have upgrades I should head for? Dont know what I should buy after rushing towards the Su57
>>583889570There was a mission in one of the Delta Strike games where you escort a train through a canyon a protect it from enemy armored trains, probably one of the more fun missions in that game

>>583891991Focus on your own playstyle and gameplay experience.Pick an area of your gameplay that you feel like you're not doing as well with as you want to, or a part of the experience that just feels "off" to you, and go for parts that solve that issue.do you feel like you're not pitching and rolling as agilely as you want to?get some mobility partsdo you feel slow?get some engine partsdo you want to do more damage with bombs?get the "bigger blast radius" and "faster bomb reload" partsetc.
>>583886832Many thanks anon!May a spear from the hevans not fall on your exact location
>>583891785Weather based megastructure/superweapon could be kino. it annoys you for over half of the campaign, ultimately you fly through a storm to end up in an eye of the storm where you destroy it. some kind of big tower covered in HAARP-like installations you shoot off, with lots of air defense and it can turn or something. when it's destroyed the skies turn blue and sunny and the enemy nation starts losing. They already have the weather/ cloud tech and it would be really dramatic and kino. Also makes sense to develop it with desertification in mind. I don't dislike the train idea btw, but think it is unlikely from a gamedev perspective
>>583892261Their systems are halfbaked and don't always work. Whatsherface can burn to death in her cockpit unable to eject, instead of ejecting and blowing her brains out on the ground, depending on the order in which you kill the named planes.

>>583891991The part that fires your gun for you is pretty good for new players who aren't used to using it, and the gun is actually really good in 8Special weapon capacity is also good, especially air-to-air

>>583892641>Which part to prevent overshooting Stability parts, assuming that the stat still works the same way as in past games.Part of the solution will just be adjusting your flying, too.>whenever I yaw or turn?Do you mean pitch and roll? Or are you using the novice controls?>FA36 tends to overshoot my machine gun lining with his high movement ratingI don't have that unlocked yet, so I can't comment on how it handles specifically.But are you overshooting your turns just during normal gameplay, or while using the triangle / Y / "follow target" camera?If it's the latter, then you have to start releasing that button way earlier, because your brain tells you to release it when your turn is done, but the new zoom in / out camera animations make it so that it takes a moment longer, during which you might still be instinctively turning (and thus overshooting), or your vision is just blocked and you can't see your target to keep turning toward it accurately because the camera is still zooming out through the back of your plane.

I exclusively play this mode because the maps are too small for score attack to be interesting. With pvp enabled, your teammates will be too busy dogfighting which let's you rack up points. Getting hunted by and evading an enemy player while you ground pound is fun. And if you enjoy the pvp, killing an enemy ace nets a lot of points which can swing a close match>ScrambleYou get this randomly. 4v8 co-op pve dogfight that gives you a lot of in-game money (zoll) and blueprints which basically are zoll>Emergency SortieThe other random mode. 8 players vs a superweapon. Currently you can get either Alicorn, Arsenal Bird, or Chandelier.

>>583894268Megalith filtered me so hard when I was 11 and trying to play AC4.I would just start new campaigns in the other save slots so that I could keep playing the game, and not even bother to try to beat Megalith and actually clear the campaign until a few years later.
>>583891275It's not really the whole OST but it does have some good stuff like the off-vocal tracks and trailer Everflow.
>>583894268It's pretty lame that the only non-7 superweapon is the Chandelier. It would be cool to have something from each PS2 game available at launch and if that was too much work they should've at least added something form Zero since I imagine many people are playing Zero for the first time right now thanks to the preorder bonus and the first battlepass is themed after Zero too
>>583894386Completely understandable, it's definitely up there in terms of complexity and obfuscation. Running three tunnels and then a fourth, smaller one, with only one chance to shoot the missile is a big ask. Especially if you're playing higher difficulties and ignore Yellow squadron at the beginning, and they'll shred through your allies and then harass you the rest of the mission.
>>583894519>It's pretty lame that the only non-7 superweapon is the Chandelier.The AC7 superweapons are coming from a similar game with similar levels of graphical fidelity, so they would be the easiest to port and have them look like they completely belonged. Those superweapon fights were almost certainly made first, so they've had the most time being tested, so they were the first to be ready for release.Older stuff had to be rebuilt in this new engine, so it's going to be further back in the development + testing process.
>>583894519Yeah, it's really weird we got Chandelier and not Excalibur considering how much they're pushing AC0 with this, makes me wonder if they repurposed it for some reason into Chandelier.

Here's an idea for PA.Put jukeboxes in lobbies that players can interact with and play music from other AC games but have them use special tokens per interaction. (priced at $0.49 per token)I have a name for it (jukebox coin).Again, PA, my DMs are open.

>>583895723I posted my theory in a previous thread that all of Rex's ace pilot skills were derived directly from Ghost Cope, and once ghost Cope passes on the skills go with him, hence Rex goes back in the WSO seat. I started my second playthrough last night and I noticed early on there was a bit of dialogue from Ghost Cope that feels like evidence for my theory.
>>583896696how can you see something invisible
I want more mega fights if they’re going the nightreign route with ace combat online. But also throw in a few boss squadrons from previous games and occasionally the fight with Yellow 22, Mihaly, Pixy. JUST TO BE FUNNY.If PA also gave a major fuck, I would kill to have a simulation mode against previous game aces and their units in a 1 v 6 duel where we are the squadron and we have to attempt to take down one unit. I don’t mind online, I think the foundation is good for someone who missed infinity. But I will admit I’m getting bored of it really fast with the disconnects booting me constantly, and online being extremely grindy at times.>>583895770I just want bgm select in general so I can hear magic spear 1 more often.

>>583897079:(
>>583896696Got any screenshots or webm?
>>583896696Yeah, they show up in one mid-mission update.Which means we’re probably going to get it as DLC/ACE PASS. My guess is F-117, YF-23, and Harrier.Though I’d give my left nut for the F-16XL. And my right nut + major organs for a F-105. But that won’t happen since I’m pretty sure the Thud has never been in an Ace Combat game.

>>583897247>Which means we’re probably going to get it as DLC/ACE PASSnot necessarily, the 117 shows up as an enemy in 7 and never became DLC there
>>583897379Oh that plane is definitely going to be DLC for sure then.
>>583896979I thought so too but highly unlikely. Plus it would leave a poor taste.There was a time in the main campaign when Cope's presence basically dies out without any affect on Rex. My guess is that everyone caught on to Rex being a mute psychopath and thinks its better to pair him up with someone for therapy or shit.What dialogue are you talking about?
>>583897379I don't see any planes other than the one you're piloting.
>>583895723Queen and Joker flight consolidated into King flight + I’m pretty sure Ray was tired and they took an off duty flight out to Sotoa to drop off Cope’s remains or something. >>583896979 I disagree off of the fact that the only reason why Ray couldn’t fly to begin with was mainly because his vitals weren’t checked out for actual piloting. They sped up the process because they were desperate. But I also believe Ray has survivors guilt and that Cope purposely killed himself by drowning because he couldn’t take the guilt of gunning down his own country men, but couldn’t say no to DD’s offer due to it being his job.

>>583898591I got a match that had only four players exactly once and it was noticeably comfier
>>583895754My game crashed on this exact cutscene again. Amazing. I went through Mission 19 three times now.
>>583898669My only solace is that the JP side of things seems to be complaining about the same stuff as the NA side so something might actually get done
>>583898708The cutscene rendering pipeline is probably some bullshit AI slop, My GPU usage jumps to 95% during cutscenes but during normal gameplay it barely crosses 20%
>>583898961>it barely crosses 20%That's weird.
>>583898951That's comforting, actually. If both sides of the player population are in unison on something then it's way harder to ignore, even for a JP company.
>>583897585The line from Cope I was referring to is: "Will I come back if I stick it out with the new puppet ace? I suppose time will tell." He flat out states that he is effectively puppeting Rex. The line jumped right out at me immediately on the replay.
>>583898961Because gameplay doesn't have raytracing, only cutscenes and hangar do.
>>583898961so it's not just meI get a much higher framerate in missions than in cutscenescould it be it's not applying upscaling to cutscenes?
>>583898708Can't you just skip it?
>>583899136I've seen people claiming this, but I think if you are in cockpit view there is ray traced reflections in there, unless they are instead just a really good implementation of some other method.
>>583899234Nope, those aren't raytraced too. Most likely some sort of dynamic cubemaps.
>>583899050puppet ace refers to DD puppeting them around as a show piece. Not that we're being puppeted by a ghost.
>>583899050I think "puppet Ace" just refers to Wings being fake and under D.D's control.
>Half the reason LAAMs are so oppressive is because the AI is non-functional at LAAM ranges. Presumably for performance reasons>Same reason LACMs don't trigger CIWS at rangeSo how do you actually balance this if it's a core engine thing.
>>583899261You sure? Why do the rt options affect cockpit framerate then?
>>583899643>>583899656That's a very good point and probably correct, but I leave a little bit of space to consider it could be a double entendre. Maybe I need to look at how the line is in Japanese.
>>583899723The same way the ps2 games did, just don't have a missile that can lock onto targets so far away.
>>583897585>Cope purposely killed himself by drowningI'm pretty sure he was dead after topkek shot him. His dialogue subtitles was in italics afterwards.
>>583899202I thought I'd watch it because it was a one time hitch but I think I will. I'll have to redo the mission again and I think I'll just do it tomorrow now. Fucking tired of lack of optimization.Knowing Bamco, these cunts won't do jack shit to fix it.

What about an Ace Combat where you're the "villain"?You start the game off with a training mission, shooting down drones and attacking a mock-up city full of ground targets so friendly ground troops can "take" it. A few recon planes from the nation you're planning an attack against enter the airspace, and you have to shoot them down to prevent them from discovering your plans.Then the first half of the game is your underdog nation fighting tooth and nail to capture the enemy nation, culminating in having one city (the capital?) left to capture when an international coalition decides to intervene and starts pushing you back to your borders. The big plot twist towards the end of the game is that the nation you were attacking was actually building an INSANE superweapon that would basically allow them world conquest, and they launch it now that they have the breathing room to finish it. If you had been able to take the capital, you could have prevented this, but instead it wipes out a huge portion of the coalition forces and your own forces and threatens the world. The final few missions are your squadron, with the help of what little of the coalition is left (mostly as fodder) launch attack runs to stop the superweapon and save the world. In the end, the international coalition forgives your nation because your war was actually justified to maintain peace and the status quo, the superweapon nation gets Belkafied/fractured, and the real subplot is that General Resources/Enso Order remnants were the ones building the superweapon in order to destroy all national borders But for at least half of the game your nation (and you) are portrayed purely as villains fighting an unjust invasion like Sotoa did
>>583901170I tried it.It's going to be hard to do the weekly to win missions if I can't even play them.
>>583901336>What if you were.... le bad?!??!?!I'm so tired of """subversive""" slop
>tfw emergency sortie but i need to level up muh laamboatsorry bros u can alt f4 before we load in if u want
Deciding to take a peek at Assault Record and found an interesting set of numbers within the Shadows:>168>155>182>109>097>032
>>583901447NTA But I'd like a redo of the ideas of AC7. Where you are a criminal or someone looked down upon, and have to forge your legend from nothing. Make em Belkan.
>>583901496I also need to level my planes except I can't get emergencies so I can't get gold blueprints so I can't fucking do it. The last four raids I've gotten have been scrambles.I hate this game.
>>583901529But what does it mean, Cope
>>583901653Lottery numbers for the Enso Order raffle
>>583901082i'd say 90% of the cutscenese and 90% of the gameplay
>>583901336You play as a villainous merc in ACZ.
>>583901447it's not subversive if they straight up make you the aggressors who kick the shit out of another nation with reckless aplombsubversive would be "oh no! the good things you were doing were actually bad! don't you feel bad now!"
>>583901750meant for >>583901169
>>583901170The first few matches while you only have the f4 with hvaa are miserable. As soon as you gain some money and levels you can grab a Mirage 2000 and start having fun.
>>583901653Finish the job, soldier
>>583901886That might have been true on like day 4 but it no longer holds up when the Morgan/Fullback/Strike Eagle beats you to every ground targets and the LAAMs beat you to every air target
>>583901767Belkan historical revisionism in my Mongolian basket weaving forum? Belka started the shitstorm anon, don't wanna get bombed don't attack other people's
>>583901971The Fullback and the Strike Eagle aren't that fast, especially if they're not max level. Just ignore the closer targets and beeline for the backline.
>>583902121Faster than the Mirage. Especially a low level shitter one in your suggestion
I wonder if they're gonna use this ghost shit to tie into sublimation. Sci-fi tech that spawned from the supernatural could be interesting.
>>583901858Fuck man. My wallet is moving on its own.
>>583902196Belkans WOULD break into the afterlife specifically to turn it into a giant AI core.
>>583901767Speaking of merc, I wonder who footed the bill. Did Cipher get his planes at a discount?
>>583902193The Mirage levels faster and doesn't get the attacker speed debuff. With NGHPC 2 you'll have speed parity.
>>583902273Are there no limits to Belkan Witchraft? Is nothing out of their grasp? Is nothing sacred to them?
>>583902290I don't know but you unlock one of the best planes like 6 missions in.
>>583902196At this point just pull the band-aid and call if Psychoframe, because I genuinely think that is where PA is going with the Electrosphere setup. Frankly all we are missing is Dision who apparently is supposed to die like a month after 8 so where the fuck was he in this whole clusterfuck
Are the ground targets in the Chandelier sortie buffed? I've noticed targets like Ex-Sams and Ex-AAs taking two missiles tops everywhere else, but upwards of four in Chandelier. I only ever target them inbetween major targets popping up but it's still a strange difference.
>>583902370The Draken's one of the starter planes tho??
>Deathmatch releasedTime to farm nuggets.It's the only mode where I can get queues because my MMR isn't horribly fucked up yet.
>>583902396I'm not sure why they gave them the EX-Whatever names. The models are way bigger and are Chandelier hardpoints instead of like an S-400 someone drove onto it
>Chandelier emergency sortie>four morgans spamming mpbms outside the barrel>the rest of the chucklefucks are going for planes and ground targets>the only person to fly inside and attack the core is me>Mission Failed
>>583902460Eh, doesn't have the ground bombs I like and the standard missile capacity isn't great either.
>>583902557>He didn't fly in with a SU-25 and one cycle the barrel solo.Skill issue
>>583902557It helps to spam the absolute fuck out of the forward attack command. Doesn't always work but it helps herd the lemmings.
foxhound is the fastest jet in service today but it feels slow as fuck in this game. i'd rather they get rid of its weird maneuverability and let me go mach 3
>>583902196>Soul goes to Heaven>Mind goes to ElectrosphereI don't think they should go any further than "Sublimation is a bad idea because souls are real"
Every shadow squadron has a theme
>>583903039You know, except for the ones that have outliers
>>583903240what
>>583902880In Xenonauts (game inspired by XCOM but not nearly as good or fun as it, I beat it on ironman hard mode nevertheless, anyone interested in original XCOM but more should just play XCOM Files but I digress) your first interceptor that can really deal with the fast ayylien UFOs is a fictitious MIG-32 called the Foxtrot.My dumb ass spammed them so much in Xenonauts (they're actually viable very late in the game) that when I saw the Foxhound in AC8 I was like "woah it's the Foxtrot!!!!" Yeah I wish it was faster, though it helped in Mission 15 for me.
>fire a 2 (two) LAAMs in the enemy's direction>trigger the whole squad (minus the one who ate the laam)>they spend the next 2 minutes chasing me around while my team farms for free and then farms themkek this rerun never gets old
Online just broke, matchmaking is just not connecting at all
>>583900918I'd say more. It's a nice thing to know there's an afterlife.>>583903406Good job, Tasha.
>>583903815yeah that ecm actually makes it a bitch to dogfight, i couldn't lock anything with my regular missiles so i just flew around like tasha kek
>>583893479https://implying.fun/video/vgl16/2021-05-22/4/?t=48%3A05.0 Yep. Does the funny line at 48:05.
>>583888391I was reading earlier posts and you all are gay as fuck for ignoring this one, that's a kino idea
>the game crashed so hard it has to recompile its shaders
>>583904105wtf my game does that everytime i boot it up
deathmatch sure generates mustard gas>top score is a mpbm/sasm pixy boat
why can't we have an actual co-op mode where the AI enemies are a real threat (Ace+ difficulty) and everyone wins regardless of who tops the scoreboard
>>583904380Oh is there a FFA mode now?
>>583903039>That pair of Su-35SNobody told me the Ventus were Shadows...
>>583904832Prease undastand
>>583904832I'd like something like mission 28 to be co-op, just me and 3 other randoms against a massive fleet of fighters that know how to use flares, bombers with ECM support and shadows. Resupply enabled in the middle of the map just like in the mission but dangerous.
>>583905242I was literally just thinking that, coop mission 28, every allied reinforcement wave brings in a new player mixed in with the AI
>>583905091yeah and it's as one would expect, no score limit btw so you can dogfight f22s in your rustbucket while some chink is trying to stick QAAMs up your ass
>>583883058I feel like it will involve FCU separatist groups and you working with NUN
I have not played death match onceI tried one time, but the wait was far too long and it kicked me out in the end.
>>583905776Tried each of the pvp modes once and hated it. I just want to kill the enemy with my bros
>>583883418Granted but your final mission will be shooting down a bunch of nuggets and their three teachers over Sand Island
>>583905457Why did they even bother bringing back the cost system if it never matters
So I played AC7 around 2024, loved it but never bothered with the multiplayer since I figured it would be kinda dead by then + I was shit at the game. So>How long can I expect the multiplayer in this game to last?>Does more content get released with time?>Does the story get any DLC?Thank you bwos
>>583906609>How long can I expect the multiplayer in this game to last?We don't know, depends on how things are balanced and how PA/Bamco supports it. In the past they did some patches here and there but it was mostly hands off, but AC8 is being handled somewhat differently so it's hard to say.>Does more content get released with time?Yes, typically in the form of more planes.>Does the story get any DLC?If we follow 7, then probably. Most of the pre-release material also seems to indicate a major focus on the singleplayer aspect. AC8 is also stupidly successful, so I'd say it's a good chance we'll see story additions.
>it's a lagging chink in a f16 teleports from under my MG and sticks a point-blank QAAM on me episodei hate those reruns
>>583906609Infinity lasted for 4 years and that game was basically funded with monopoly money. Of course, they're already dragging ass on fixing incredibly glaring issues and 8's online is worse than Infinity's in basically every way out the gateSo who knows
>Replaying 8's campaign on ace>using a mixture of f14a, f15c, f15e with a little f4e and other one off memes >not feeling challenged at all>constant S ranks >Have to force myself to keep going for sake of completion Is 8 just way easier for the sake of a wider audience or am I him?
>>5839077508's score requirements have less arbitrary checks than 7's did. You might also have just gotten better at the game, yes
>>583907750i didn't really notice much of a difference between my elite playthrough and my ace playthrough. enemy planes were a little more slippery i guess but barely
>>583906817>>583907574Alright, I think I'll sink some hours into the online since I like destroying ground targets and working towards unlocking stuff, thank you
>advertised as biggest multiplayer mode in ace combat to date>laggier than AC7 and smaller than Infinitywhat did they mean by this
>>583908064Bold of you to assume you'll be able to actually play the game
>>583907861>>583907932Am I insane in thinking that 7 made you work for your kills on ace a bit harder? sure you could nuke everything with multilocks on the right approach, but some of the dogfights felt like you had to put the work in when you got into them.
>>583908210Or at the very least enemies would focus you a lot harder when you were dogfighting so you'd have to weigh your maneuvers against near constant incoming missiles
>>583904832There's files that might be about a coop campaign, also a fully fledged card game you can play in the lobby lol
help, what's the correct attack angle against the final tgt of that weather control plane?
>>583908210>>583908341I didn't really feel it. Enemy missiles are so easy to dodge in SP that I basically completely ignore them.It was at least somewhat possible to die in the older games where AA guns shredded you and a single missile wpuld kill you but you have so much health in 7 and 8.
Man the Everflow Trailer ver. was SO different from the everflow we have in game nowI like them both to be honest>https://youtu.be/tsbb6BRtOSY?si=eZoj6bd_is4Oh8QI&t=371
>>583908210It feels the same to me
>>583887902I killed him with QAAMs too except he got doinked first oddly enough
>Over 5 minutes to get a matchit's over
>>583908210I think overall in 7 you had a lot more planes to deal with whereas in 8 it's mostly ground targets. Even in M28 you're not under threat from a lot of planes, they're just flying in a straight line.
>>583909035From what I've heard Coop Assault is fucky right now but Warfare is (mostly) fine. That seems to align on my end, but I refuse to play Warfare even for the dailies, so I'm kinda shit out of luck until it gets fixed.
What did she mean by this?
lmao
>>583909197Jackpot 9 gets to watch while I'm with Kate.
>>583907750Absolutely not. Go see normalfags play this game. They get absolutely hammered, fail, and allies are dying.
>>583909268Very healthy meta
I am 70% of the way to the F-35. That's not really close, it's still 74 games away.I guess it gives me time to get more gold blueprints.
>>583909197Okay now I've gotten a good look at the jacket, that's actually one of the crewmates from the firefighter chopper.
>>583909326>All that effort for a plane that's completely non-viable in the metalmao!
>>583909197I thought she would join us when our numbers started getting fucky and with the way the wingmen mechanic was worded in the ui. >turns out she can apparently die if you dont wipe out the sams during retaking theve and you dont get her dialogue for the rest of the gameor does she survive the shootdown?Clearly superior to t*sha and kate
>>583909268I have really good luck with MPBMs on that stage actually
>>583909525On the bright side, the EA-36 unlocks at the same time. So he could just buy that.
>>583909324There's a notification ingame that there's maintenance coming soon. They might nerf LAAM then. Or maybe it'll take longer.>>583909525Shut up it's going to be great.
>>583909525>metafaggotryyou will always live underneath of the boot of sovlchads. fear the anon that honed his beloved plane a billion times, and not the metafag that jumps ship to the next new shiny crutch the moment it releases
>>583909689I enjoy winning, sorry retard
>>583909689the foxhound IS my planefu
>>583909197>>583909379>mystery woman is better than the two we're saddled withInsert for the singer maybe? or good use of the in universe assets and themes given civies are enjoying their last night before disembarking after all the shit they went through.
>>583909649Barricader unlocks earlier. Which is odd given that it's the other way around in campaign.Growler has stronger ESM because of its abilities (unless IEWS is naturally stronger in which case fuck me) so I'm sticking to that instead. Also someone said Barricader has gun delay, which I fucking hate and will not tolerate.
Jackpot 9 can die?
>>583909849giving up your sovl in favor of fake game currency on a $70 usd game means you will always be jewish and a loser, this is non-negotiable
>>583910174Nice tranny mindset
>>583910153Super sams during the retaking of theve that spawn way at the back, along with the two groups of arty and such to each side after the lcacs land will rock her shit if you dont deal with them, unsure if she survives or if that's her gone for good from the campaign
>>583910153Yes she can die and be gone for goodIt happened in my second run
>>583910260I accept your concession, remember to complain on the forums after the meta changes
>>583909197We're so in love
LAAM spam is strong today, the meta is really out isnt it?
>>583909835Love the idea of Baxter just mumbling new slurs for sotoans on the fly the entire cutscene
Don't worry guys, I started playing yesterday and I bought the F-14D as my first aircraft, the LAAM nerf is coming.
>>583910651from my experience it's either that or trying to dogfight laggy QAAMboatsat least with LAAMs I can kill those faggots from afar and not have to worry about some third worlder pulling on his internet cable to do a hairpin QAAM high g turn on my screen
>>583910834Thanks for your hard work
>Deathmatch is fun.HOPE?
this twisted game's matchmaking needs to be reset
I spent all of my money unlocking lvl 20 on the Fullback so it's definitely getting nerfed.
LAAMs are annoying but have you tried fighting multiple EW aircraft at once
>>583911315What meta are you fighting for, buddy?
>>583911546Ew aircraft can be ignored while you farm points with bombs.
>>583911658the problem with UGBLs is you eventually run out of things to drop UGBLs on, buddy
>>583911546Yes anon the Barricader + LAAM rape brigade is common
>contesting two blowjob brothers>one flies in circles while spamming ESM>other flies in circles while spamming MPBMshonestly quite incredible
>>583911837Just flip upside down and drop them upward
>>583911837No you don't. Co-op Warfare has infinite reinforcements.
I fucking hate alicorn's esm drone thingies
So when is this maintenance actually happening
>See TLS/ECM Morgan>Rape him with the SU-57 guns and superior mobility>Only look for him during spawns because Morgans are worth shitloads of points>Get MVP off killing him every gameGet fucked nigger
>>583912171i could've sworn that there's 3 waves and the 3rd is a pain in the ass to spawn
>>583912585Few days from now. 13th IIRC.
>>583913008What is it with live service games and doing things on Tuesday
>>583907750If you feel like a challenge, there's a mod on nexus called 'ace pilots' which lets you turn every dogfight into late game shadows, alongside stuff like turning off the enemy attack queue and increasing how many missiles can be shot at you at once
When will it be playable?
Man the vinyl for this game looks cool, im so tempted bros...
Why isn't the XFA-27 used by the FCU Navy? That shit was ready for combat back in 1998, if Sotoans get to use the game I should get to use the XFA-27 as my top of the line naval plane.
>>583909197wife
>>583914043why isn't the morgan standard issue? it was made in the 90s.
>>583914043It'd be fun seeing mercenaries using it
How do I know the altitude of an enemy plane on my radar? I keep under or overshooting it.Also is there a faster turn than yaw?
>>583914043It is Phoenix's personal plane and the copyrights belong to him, the FCU tried to hire Scarface squadron but were nowhere to be found and would be too expensive to hire for their poorfag ass anyways.
>>583893424God I hope they nerf this fucking thing
>QAAM + IEWSWhat do you do against this
>>583914109Because Belka stopped existing and all that remained of their production capabilities was Grunder, which then iterated upon the concept repeatedly with the Falken and the Raven.
So a large portion of timeouts (on top of regular good old fashioned server instability) could be being caused by weirdos trying to run the game off of mechanical hard drives and their slow loading holding everyone else up enough for it to abandon the match for all? For fuck's sake, SSDs have been commonplace for years. There's no excuse any more.
The chinese have already figured out how to do model swaps, no modding cabal this time
>>583909268>>583909619Just got MVP on Waiapolo literally just by MPBMing the silos and shooting down the LAAM migger at the end. If you're having issues with meta builds you need to git gud buddy
>>583914739Nothing. Accept your death.
>>583914898The mods for these games are lame anyway. If it isn't just performance and cheating it's just "what if superweapon from previous game lol"
>>583914898I hope the nude mods are tasteful
>>583915059WRONGhttps://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/3319
>>583915059How are free planes lame? imagine paying real money to buy the same dlc planes that you bought for 7 lol
>>583915280Nah, I want bikini mods, but have it themed. Kate in a bikini but the terminus fingers is the bra.
>>583914703frankly that buddy would've died no matter what plane i was in. i get as many player kills with standard missiles as laamsthis thing is gonna be turbocancer when i get LAAMs+QAAMs though kek
>>583915469I would be very surprised if they tried to sell us the Arkbird.
>>583915521No MP for me; what are the stars for?
>>583915742represents your score/kill streak basically. the more stars you have the more you pop for the enemy too. 3 stars = point pinata
>>583915585It'll be in the Northern Wings pass, you'll see
>>583914793No you fuck large portions are because this game is retarded>Game literally won't load>You need to fire up the in-mode tutorial so the game loads the assets, else you may not play at allWhat the fuck is the point of pre building shit every launch if the game doesn't load
>>583915521What's the black dot?
I wish AC8's campaign had more weather. Turbulence, lightning, snowstorms that ice up your plane. Forgive me for saying this, I even wanted the sandstorm back.
I've been stuck on mission 1 for one hour
>>583915904that guy's emblem
The wingmen this time around were pretty good, I liked Baxter and Kate the most
>>583915949>lightningI sure did love getting RNG'd into not being able to play the game for 30-40 seconds
>>583915949I almost got jumpscared when I got hit by lightning in an AC8 mission, it was so rare I wasn't expecting itI wouldn't mind more weather
>>583915949ac8 actually does have lightning
Some new /aceg/ roster or songs?>FLARES22>THE SUN (model is a crab)
How the fuck do I turn around quickly
>>583916310>THE SUN (model is a crab)That one's actually pretty funny.
>>583915949I really wished we got to see a tornado with all the cloud tech they got around, it would be fascinating to see one.
>>583893424>>583915521Is the clean first person view good for MP? I always play campaigns from cockpit view, so much so I forget how to fly from third person in MP and get owned like a retard
>>583916373Squeeze the triggers, yank the stickOr stop flying a boat
>>583916310>COPE
>>583916373high g turnaccel + decel buttons at the same time while pitchingyou'll pull enough gs to liquify a normal person and do basically a 90 degree turn at whatever speed
>>583916373The game teaches you high g turns, anon.
>>583916043>goes into thundercloud>gets hit by lightning
>>583915972turn on expert controls I'm not joking
>>583916373Fly a russian plane.
>>583916470idk if it's good but i play every game in first person regardless. i don't ever use the target chase cam, i just watch my radar and dogfight on vibes. works for me but i'm sure third person is more "optimal"
can I request Brand's (the Flying Mole Squadron guy) portrait pretty please
>>583916554I've had a bolt snipe me from way outside a cloud in Homeward before
>>583916470Works good enough for me.
>God I miss this, we should Nuke the FCU and the UN Headquarters
>>583890185Saw what you will about AC:HA a dogfight in a hurricane is fuckin sick
>>583916658Third person is more optimal because you get to look at your pretty plane do cool maneuvers.
Online is completely dead. We had a good run buddies.
>>583916978is matchmaking broken right now or something? i sat in an assault queue for like 15 minutes earlier, restarted the game and same shit so i gave up and started playing something else
>>583917057Yes, it's fucky right now
Anyone run into this dogshit? Every time 3 seconds after trying to matchmake anything. Restarted game thinking it's EAC freaking out but nope
>start playing the AC8 campaign on living room tv>girlfriend gets interested and tunes in from mission 5 onwards>asks me to continue playing every day until we finish the game>she gets interested about planes along the way and starts suggesting strategies for the different missionsgreat game you have here /aceg/ bros
>>583917057Assault has been broken for an hour or two, but now it seems every mode is affected. Just getting error codes each time I queue.
Man, megafloat Fatsia was challenging and fun MGP only. Those damn pillars are tanky as fuck to even 3 machineguns
>>583917192Actually it seems that just Warfare is broken now. They fixed assault by breaking warfare, sasuga
>>583917234Gonna have to play through the whole series at that rate
>finally get Emergency Sortie>servers stop workingSetting aside the RNG which made me play 22 <<There's that number again>> matches, why is there a limited fucking time to start the mission? What purpose does this serve? They have 12 minutes to fix the servers before this sortie expires and I drop an SFFS on bamco HQ.
>>583917057>>583917192>game became aware of its own awfulness and tries to stop players from playing itSpooky
>>583914195I know of someone currently employed by I3 who might just fit the bill.
>>583917361Good, nobody should be allowed to play warfare.
>>583917375that's the plan, is there any particular order?
>>583914739GUN with the SU-57
>>583915858I've literally never had to load the tutorial to play online ever. I get the logic, but it sounds like a placebo as surely you could load assets going to the hangar?
>>583917464I thought that was just 12 minutes before the mission in rotation changes.
I take it cruz is a scripted death?
>try playing assault>Returning to Title Menu error>loading screen>another Returning to Title Menu error after the first one>right after that the second error I get the starting intro with all players' planes>then stuck on a forever blackscreenIT'S ALL BREAKING AT THE SEAMSACTIVATE THE ELECTROSPHERE
>>583903406this is the only multiplayer game i've ever played where my team will actually come help me out when i get ganked by 4 niggas
>>583917729Queen has to get wiped so Kate gets shuffled into your squad, yes
>>583917729Yes cruz is scripted. If you try to go help the shuttle transport gets instantly annhialated
>>583917595Eh, not really, though 7 and X are the closest chronologically, and the PS2 games are the most related to 7The Japanese version of 3 is what 8 is building up to (probably)Just avoid Assault Horizon, Joint Assault, Advance, and the international version of 3, anything else should be good to play
>>583917780I very much enjoy using my friends as bait, and the big fish always bite.
lol, matchmaking dead again after one match.
>>583917630As someone who genuinely failed my first 15 loads due to st-31000011 noI waited for people to come up with solutions and that's genuinely the only one that works flawlesslySyncing the clock? LolGame literally won't load otherwise
>>583916483>>583916508THANK YOU I FINALLY FUCKING BEAT MISSION 1
>>583917595Probably 7, if you're still on board after that you go for 4, 5 and Zero, and if you still feel like going you end up playing 6 or X and then getting into the more niche stuff.
>>583917682Pic related.>>5839175954, 5, 0, X, 6, 7, 8.
>>583917602everybody is so slow in base planes i imagine a fully upgraded felon can just drive up behind everyone
>>583917906Okay Shadow 22
FASHION CHECK
>>583918007You wouldn't happen to be on an HDD, would you?
>>583918007Fair enough. I might give it a go if my game throws some similarly retarded error spam at me.
>>583918007If you have HDD you'll always fail, it's a shitty system, do the following:Once you start online, do a military training sortie, it'll fail, then go again to online and try again, it'll workI moved my game from a SATA SSD to NVME, that was the only way to avoid the first load fail
>>583917883>>583918061>>583918105thank you, i'll start reading on how to download an emulator to be able to play the ps2 games
>>583918431It's pretty easy these days. Have fun.
>>583918190checking in
>>583918202No I wouldn'tBut I will admit the last time I had an issue with an EAC game it was because I was running my OS off a HDD that once ran win7
>>583918190I would if I had any but they continue to refuse Linux users the ability to play despite the option being right there within EAC.
>>583918427>First load failNo seriously it was 100% failAnd I'm on win11, definitely not putting a 140 gig game on HDD
>>583918135The Felon just out-turns everything. I primarily use it to shut down morgans in Deathmatch
>>583918929It does that even on a sata ssd, if your game is in one, you'll have to do the military practice first time you try to play, otherwise your first loads will always fail
I like Jackpot 9 the best
>>583917602Why aren't you running LRES 2?
>>583918190sliding over cars while I shoot(tom cruise tom cruise tom cruise)
>>583917234>>583917595If you are playing with a backseater/spectator. X and 0 are probably best because they have good stories and there is stuff to talk about or decisions besides what order to blow stuff up. (They are also just overall the best games in the series).Aside from those 7 is most similar to 8, 4 is good, 5 and 6 are alright. There is no real 'correct' order for story purposes, each game is self-contained so the orders people suggest are more about playing the ones you'll like most first to get into the series.
>>583919168Felon's gun is already so insanely strong that it melts people with 4 to 5 shots. I find the homing aspect of missiles to be more appealing. LRES2 is probably gonna be my final part once I've got enough golden goy tickets to unlock the plane to 20 though
>>583919106>a squadron of Harriers is with you for the entire campaign>some of them survive until the endThat is honestly crazy
>>583919290LRES enhances precision and range, not damage. That's what makes it so good with the Felon since you've already got crazy good damage.
>>583918190The Phoenix suit stays on until the servers go down.
>>583919002That's what I said was the fix, I had to wait a week so people could start posting shit I could try
Hello, I would like an asymmetrical PvP mode where one pilot in a fully equipped Ladon (including the ability to Kulbit at 2100+kts) faces off against 4 pilots in their normal jets.That is all.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE stop giving me error code ST-1000024!!!!!!!!!!
73rd time is the charm
>>583919428>ace combat evolvekek i would fucking rape in this thing
Guys, what ifAce combat assfaggots mode
>>583919428But what would stop someone from perma PSM glitching all over them as they get close?
>>583919524Only 176 more sorties until you can buy the 5th gen jets. Don't give up, buddy.
I don't even remember getting it so it probably wasn't that hard.
Im gonna vibecode a competitor game called "kamikaze pilot simulator" where you are the missile
>>583919670Idc about the 5th gens, I want to max out an F-16C, an F/A-18E and C, a Mig-29, maybe also F-2A and only after that maybe I'll consider the barricader since it's the only good looking EW plane. That is if they haven't added more EW planes by then.
>>583920005My man maxing out just those 5 planes is like 1.5 million ZOLL. And then the Barricader is another 400k.
>Emergency Sortie available>ST-1000024how embarassing
>>583920138At least it doesn't burn your Sortie
>>583920131I guess I'll have it done by season 3 then.
>>583919634>130 meters long 70 meters wide barn is PSMing in a circle>fly away and turn 360°>BRRRRRRT
>>583920382Assuming you also get lucky enough with Emergency sorties to farm up enough General upgrade blueprints. Good luck with that.
I just want more of the RNG missions because those are the only ones that actually feel like co-op and it's nice
>>583920131What, no it's not even close.Planes are in 3 cost tiers.Low Tier:Lv5-10 - 5K + 5 Blueprints (10K)Lv10-15 15K+ 15 Blueprints (30K)Lv15-20 30K + 30 Blueprints (60K) + 10 Golden Goy TicketsTotal: 100K + 10 Golden Goy TicketsMid tier: (All of Anon's planes sans barricader)Lv 5-10 15K + 15 Blueprints (30K)Lv 10-15 30K + 30 Blueprints (60K) + 10 Golden Goy TicketsLv 15-20 45K + 45 Blueprints (90K) + 20 Golden Goy TicketsTotal 180K + 30 Golden Goy TicketsHigh Tier (Everything including EA-18 and up)Lv 5-10 15K+15 Blueprints (30K) + 10 Golden Goy TicketsLv 10-15 45K+45 Blueprints (90K) + 20 Golden Goy TicketsLv 15-20 90K+90 Blueprints (180K) + 30 Golden Goy TicketsTotal 300K + 60 Golden Goy TicketsTimegate tickets are the real limit since you can only get 5 a day once you finish the pass
>>583920375It might as well if 100 out of 100 attempts end with that error 1 second into trying to matchmake
>>583920916You're exaggerating
Ok guys, the next AC is going to be corpos vs the rest of strangereal and you get to pick a side.
>>583920842>60 golden goy ticketswell shit
>>583920981I'm not. I can only play assault, every other mode cancels matchmaking immediately.
>>583921012I'd sooner shake the hand of a Belkan than side with a filthy fucking corp
>>583921012Next game is Ace Combat 0-2 Sotoa vs Yukies
>>583921134Anon the corpos are Belkans, it's their final revenge. Ya gotta shake hands with the Sotoans or the Estovakians or whatever. Or Shillage but fuck em too
>>583917234Heh, reminds me of how I played through the trilogy with my friend (Now With Benefits) over the lockdown. She was pretty broken up about Chopper, he was her favourite. It is very funny to me that I managed to show a girl this series BEFORE we started fucking.
>>583889371Damn, this game performance really depends on a case by case basis, I have a 5070ti which is literally the same shit with some cores disabled and i've never had a crash with the latest drivers.
>>583920842Explain this then, nigger.
I still don't get it
Did the first landship mission on veteran to get the ace and that thing was kicking my ass. Finished on 98% damage and that's after a retry from the start because of the tandem loss of a bomb truck and getting shot down shortly therafter. The hell's going on? The other two never gave me this much trouble.
>>583921843You are experiencing a mechanical issue related to the mental state of the pilot.
>>583921358Oh whoops my bad it's 60+60 + 20 instead of 45+45 + 20 - You're rightBasically the Formula is x3 x2 x2.
>>583922295Yeah, the full upgrade cost is basically the cost of the first upgrade times ten, at least in terms of zoll. GUBs are just 10, 30, 60 for each tier.
>>583921838it doesn't if you're wrong as long you're confident in doing it
>>583894268I want more maps for the base modes too. Avalon was fun in infinity
>>583918553I require (You) as my WSO
I am so done
>>583918553Cute femboy
>>583922975I mean 50 points is 50 points
Too many lobby quits, how do I prevent this?
>>583915521Mig 31 maneuverability is insane.
What settings?Mine doesn't look that good, and I have the power, kind of.
>>583894268AC:I had Aigaion, Excalibur, Stonehenge and SOLG, so they have the framework for those 4 at the very least.
>>583922975Kek
>>583918190It's me, a Goosebumps villain
Why Chandelier instead of, you know, Hresvelgr or Excalibur? To be on theme with the preorder bonus? Does this imply thry're going to make AC6 officially available for PC soon?
I'm a big fan of 6 but it does feel funny that Excalibur isn't in the Zero themed season
>>583923938least work to make it look presentable for UE5 because they're lazy fucks
Why can't the corpos just throw a fuckton of drones into a shielded bunker, nuke the entire atmosphere and fry every electronic system, and then sell their EMP shielded household appliances and drones to the money nations while everyone else got BTFO'd into the stone age and has to fight with cold war era planes.Until (you) find a bunker with modern fighters that survived
Give me the Gleipnir and the Atmos Ring
>>583924402You know the last game I played where the corpos threw a bunch of drones in the air it didn't end well
>>583923938>>583924021Excalibur onslaught would filter people even harder than Chandelier does too imo.
Online is fucking unplayable today
How come campaign mode planes can't get ability slots? That's basically level 2 parts all over again.
>>583916487COPE and THEVE
Is the Zero port worth anything or is emulation still the best?
>>583924402The corpos don't actually want to destroy the entire global economy, they just want to eliminate borders to raise their profit marginsThere's not a lot of shareholder value in it for them if they nuke the world back to the stone age.
>>583918190
>>583924402The strangelreal corpos wait until space travel to start being omega retarded in the UGSF timeline at least.
the Sotoans are so fucking likeable dudealso very likeable to hatethey're like a whole air force of Ungern Sternbergs
>are things always going to be this violentis this bitch retarded
>>583916310I want "Hortus Regis Alti" to *temporarily* replace "Near the Border" as the victory theme.
>>583924929It is, in most aspects, a significant upgradeKinda wish they'd hurry up and port the rest of the PS2 ACs
>>583918190Luv me fulcrumLuv me nugget'Ate Sotoans
>>583925681Going from a pure propaganda wing to a combat unit does tend to be a bit of a wild swing, yes
>>583919376A full third of them. They only lose two between Missions 8 and 26.
>>583925681>is the young stunt pilot who's spent the entire war running away retarded for wondering if they're not going to be running away anymoreSick of you autistic cocksuckers tbqh
>>583916310COPE AND THEVE has to make the roster.
Thinking a lot about Mission 30 and how There was no drama regarding the spelling of the password or if it was case sensitive/had spaces
>>583926251Tasha brings out the worst autism I swear.
>>583926403EO software is vibecoded slop that ignores spaces and capitalization
>>583916310Rise Again for a Hat Trick or winning coming back from a loss
>>583926403Is it possible to fail the password yes/no like you can with Baxter's landing?
>>583926619Yes, you get 3 tries before the system locks you out
>>583926251I wish i had a cocksucker and balllicker to take care of me while I played this game
>You can fail Baxter landingWHAT>>583926403Yeah, that was such an asspull
>>583926718Which one's Tasha and which one's Kate
>>583926619How can you fail Baxters landing?
>>583926403Cope would chime in and tell you that Tewy always used numbers instead of letters for her passwords
>>583926812If you don't respond to him he crashes on the aft of the carrier
Baxter Kino
>>583926615I mean Rise Above
>game works much worse than it did 2 days agoWhat the fuck happened, for the first week I was playing without issues and now I get blackscreen on startup half the time and when it does work there's stuttering when before there was none
Did the fix the fucking online matchmaking yet? I NEED to fly in co-op warfare
>>583926793Kate definitely knows how to handle a joystick, Tasha would be inexperienced though so probably best on polishing duty
>>583927284Warfare was OK, Coop was broken
>>583916310I want Purple Magic in the roster. Bitchin' unit patch, bitchin' songs for goalhorns, all around cool dudes.
>>583927284Nope. Linux is still blocked.
>>583884871Really a missed chance to bring back the Bombcat.
>>583927997not to worry, it'll be a battlepass plane :^)
>he's right and there really isn't a carrier based attacker later in the tree, not even a Harrier despite Jackpot flight using themDamn, that's actually going to suck for Attacker only runs
>>583927139UE5 magic
how do we feel about the much heavier flight model in 8
>>583928652>add intertia to planes>in the very same title make mig-31 into a supermanoeuverable fighterhilarious
Am i retarded or does the gunsight have a fucking delay to the plane angle of attack? I swear, it takes a second for it to line up
When do i unlock the gundam parts
>>583929038switch it to type b
>>583929082WAIT WHATYOU CAN DO THAT?
>>583929235yee it's a bit hidden in the settingsit's the way less twitchy ps2 style one
>>583887690It's an attack against personal computing.>use AI hype to make existing stock of parts expensive>use China to attack Taiwan. The fabs get damaged in the process.>what little production remains in the world is earmarked for government projects>personal computing becomes prohibitively expensive>but THANKFULLY we have all of these data centers just conveniently lying around>you can buy some terminals and do all of your computing in the cloud with our subscription services>perfect DRM>no unlicensed software>encryption is against TOS>all content monitored by AI agents, and any anomalous data reported automatically to authorities.>you will own NOTHING >and you WILL be happy
>>583928767It's not super maneuverable fighter though The real issue is>Every plane has more inherently more sluggishnessBut that>Every plant suffers an extreme maneuverability penalty at top speedAnd since 31s are just faster they have a better speed range of "acceptable" maneuverabilityFind me one person in this general who didn't smash their berkut into the waiopolo going at about ~2500
>>583929269Fucking thank you, i had no idea this was a thing
>>583929328I think you haven't seen a MiG-31 in online yet.
the mission briefing computer has 128 GB L1 cache and 256 GB L2 cache
>>583929279Also>Trust me bro it'll be so much better when someone else owns the data center and you can pay for the privilege of high performance input lag
>>583928652I like it, because it gets lighter and lighter as I progress with the story and get new planes.Makes me feel like I'm the guy you know?I'm him
>>583929328I haven't because I don't fly soviet planes :^)
I thought it was cool for the canon plane to be an F-18I didn't realize this meant the F-18 would be the starter plane and thus it would be an unflyable piece of shitFuck you PA
>>583929414Oh no I've seen themI don't really care though because it's boring and a shit mode that doesn't really matter, I could just fly straight into the sun and get rewarded just as much as a sweatlord
>>583929661that's why you get three more f18s that aren't dogshittoo bad that wasn't the case with the f-16 in 7
>>583928652I wasn't a fan of the tutorial mission where my F/A 18 turned like a literal boat but it gets better once you get parts and better planes>>583929661Super Hornet is perfectly flyable, especially once you have all the maneuverability parts
>>583929564Okay but the inherent max speed maneuverability penalty is inherent to the game as a wholeIf you were here a week ago there were like 20 anons complaining the berkut flies like a brickWhich it doesnt at 2100-500
Just two left
>>583929861Still a better job than baxter
No Savian ever called me a Featherhead.
>>583929519>input lagWho needs responsive input when modern game design wins for you as seen in the latest hits like the Wolverine game?
>>583929564Ikr?One time I tried using a Mig, but I felt so dirty after.
>>583929861lol
>>583930085>one second away from the door>YOU PEOPLE
how the hell do people have the raptor already? you need to actually go outside if you do.
>>583930416Maybe there's a way to pay for it with real money?
>>583930416Reaching the F-22 Raptor in ACO is like doing 2 days out of 20 to grind a vehicle for a war thunder player
>win warfare matches 0/3>it's all LAAM miggersfuck off
>>583930739I don't mind nolifingI don't mind grindanBut for fucking AC:O?How? Its so awful
LAAMs aren't that hard to dodge
>>583930736maybe?>>583930739my ass unless you have no life. since its 50 missions per level once you hit a certain rank.
Do girls play this game?
>>583931080only the trans kind I'm afraid
>>583887963
>>583931080I can be whatever you want <3
>>583931181>megas xlr
>>583931080Going by AO3 contents, maybe? I don't believe it's all of them doing let's plays.
>>583887963I want one where I have to actually, canonically have to kill myself to destroy.I want to fucking die.
>>583929328>Find me one person in this general who didn't smash their berkut into the waiopolo going at about ~2500Can't say I've ever done this, I'm not retarded
>>583931080Young ladies don't fly fighter planes
>>583931953https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Witches
>>583932117>The regiment flew in steel-and-canvas Polikarpov U-2This isn't even a light bomber, it's an utility plane
>>583932117Meh, I'm gonna be petty and say not fighter planes
>>583928652It becomes meaningless with parts in sp or plane levels in mp.The bigger problem is they've made most missile types have utter fucking shit tracking to compensate for early planes being ass, and so they're now completely useless against the autists running max level aircraft.
>>583932645>The bigger problem is they've made most missile types have utter fucking shit tracking to compensate for early planes being assmeanwhile QAAM:
>>583932790Biblically accurate QAAM
>>583932228I dug a bit deeper and apparently there were 2 Soviet women with ace status, so Nagase and many others in Ace Combat are 100% Halal
>8 just released>then we're getting 8 DLC campaign>then we're getting PW2>then we're getting PW2 DLC campaign>then we're getting 9Next 5 years gon be good
>>583933407>PW2
>>583933589Trust the plan
>>583931358I've noticed a fair bit of art of Torres, Pixy or even Count that seem kind of blatantly drawn by girls. I think this franchise has at least a few yumes somewhere.
Crashing my plane is so funny
>>583934017
>>583933940I have a small sample size of 2 women I know who started playing AC after being exposed to Torres and found him hot so I guess it checks out
Uh, hello?
>>583934658>ladies find one of the only genuinely evil and unrepentant mass murderers (who's in a nice suit and position) hamming it up on comms hotShould I be shocked?
>>583887963Bioweapons stuff. Horror Ace Combat edition. You fly into the big ass superweapon to destroy it from the inside because action movie reasons and then there's some weird ass flesh construct brain.Final boss will be some Gundam Wing looking ass jet growing actual feathered wings
the f18e should have gotten some long range agm. the sod is good but you basically gotta be right up there to launch them. PA made some terrible choices with the loadouts
>fps perfectly fine, stable 120>matchmaking shits itself, gets fixes>frames now dropping to sub 30what the fuck did they do
>>583887963Ace Combat: The Galaga Warsit's actually a Galaga space fighter game but with AC controls, far future spinoff with weird aliens and cool energy weapons and shit

>>583935957Anon please no hypocrisy, you got people on this very general simping for the psycho cripple just days ago and I 100% remember fans of the mimic girl from 7's dlc. Humans are all the same no matter the gender
>>583936219I wasn't saying it was wrong. My waifu also had a weird mass murderer phase, so I fully understand it.
>>583935858hi
>>583936652Respond like that again and you'll be on the next bus to page 10.
>>583936706<< Hello? >>
>>583936706Cooooopy :D
>>58393101750 missions x 10 mins (counting the disconnects, the crashes, the unending menu huppings) is 500 minutes500 minutes is 8 hoursIf you want to grind for a coupon vehicle in war thunder you must put at least 40-50 hours inAnd most of the people like to front-load the grind, putting 16hours in the first two daysso yeah my math checks out
I can't believe the series went from glorifying borders in Zero, to wanting no more borders in 7 and 8. We should have just let Pixy win. Corptocracy, Sotoan land destruction leading to 1,000,000 death war. All of it could have been avoided with the V2. Wizard 1 was right all along. Gault 1 was right all along. Sorcerer 1 was right all along!
>>583937494>>583936706I would be that smug as well if i were in a fucking deathstar like the Ladon
>Dealer is a vtubernow imagining him streaming from the AWACS while I fight for my life out therechat can ray 1v20 the shadow squad
>>583938342the nigger would probably take bets lmao
>>583938373>chat is joker 1 gonna make it?>drop bits on Y\N the gamba is closing in 30 seconds
fuck this game looks good
>>583937978Shut the fuck up larry
>>583938741
>spent all of my shekels rushing the su-57 only to get hit with carrier missionsi don't want to use the f/a-18c again bros, this shit sucksalso is there any reason to run multiple ecm planes in your squad, like do the effects stack or do they stagger the activations for no downtime or some shit? because the auto wingman setup rolled this and i don't know if the game knows something i don't or it's just retarded
>All these AC3 references in AC8what if AC3 was the simulation and AC9 is the actual war bros....
>>583939513>Rushed the su57>But also bought 3 jammer planes???
AC8 is really fun and now I want to play AC7 but why isn't there a bundle that includes all the DLCs and new aircraft all in one? On steam its just the standalone, that plus the season pass, and the maverick edition. I just wanna play the super kai bro
>>583939513He fell for the meme
>>583940007>Bros I want all the dlc>But I just want to play the super KaiWat
>>583939513The auto setup chooses the planes by its raw air and ground status, so yeah, it is calling you a retard for not buying more carrier planes aside from 4 Prowlers
>>583940151I want all of them I'm just stating which jet I'll try out first lol
>>583939963i rushed the su-57 and then started working through clearing the entire aircraft tree from left to righti thought it was fine because i have a decent carrier A2A aircraft (f-14d) but then i was hit with a surprise carrier A2G missioni also have a very specific kind of autism that requires me to buy 4x of every plane i own, i did the same in ac5
>>583940448That's not what Im sayingI'm saying in your rush to rush the su57 you didn't even rush it, wasting money on a plane not even in the same branch that put you in your current predicament
>>583940610The only mission that hardblocks you if you fucked u your plane selection is the one you go after the two fast experimentalsThat one is a fucking bitch
and the new thread?I don't want to spend another two years on the bottom of the sea...
>>583940610>Let me unlock a bunch of low tier shit planes, and a bunch of attackers and completely ignore any of the great planesYou don't look like you rushed the SU57You look like you actively avoided buying anything meaningful
>>583940753And here I thought we weren't going to get our routine ladon myth
>>583940807SALVATION!>>583941090>>583941090>>583941090>>583941090>>583941090
>>583941085What, do they slow down if you picked up a slower aircraft ?
>>583941289I think he means how you can't catch up to them at certain parts no matter how fast you are, and when they slow down anything can overtake them
>>583941365Yes but the time they stay slowed will be shorter if you're on a slow aircraft relatively, being on a fast aircraft definitively helps a lot here, unless their speeds are relative to your plane stats, then it doesn't matter
I just want missiles that can be launched backwards at planes in your rear aspectIt's not like they don't exist in universe considering I have to dodge them
>>583941507>They're attacking your fleet>They have about fucking green circle showing you where they areFly above the clouds and dive down on them when they begin Their attack vectorIt's literally a ww2 torpedo bomber strat
>>583940610For future reference the chad move is to rush F/A-18E (or F) > EA-18G (for wingmen use) and then the F-35CAfter that you can side branch to the SU-57. you don't have to go through the entire MIG tree you can just buy a few modules and slide over to the Felon branch
>>583939513Why did you not buy the Su-33 along the way?
>>583883746I'm just tired of playing as the saviors of the generic, faceless, bureaucratic democracy.
>>583903406Ok, fine, I’ll try the online mode.
