>>584006379Cluster bombs are better against ships(because their HP is so inflated in online) but that's about it.The UGBL's lower cooldown makes it much better at just general ground assault. And the Su-34 can still deal with ships just fine if you take 4AGMs alongside the UGBLs since ships take extra damage from missiles. Just use a bomb to clear away all the SAMs and AAs then doubletap the 4AGMs.
>>584006257>They took the plane infamous for being good at flying fast in a straight line and nothing else and made it good at dogfightingGenuinely what the fuck were they thinking. I know AC isn't exactly realistic but they've usually been pretty good at keeping lead sled shitboxes unmanueverable.
LAAMs have gotten so bad that 9/10 of my sorties end because people leave if there's even one around
>>584006708Genuinely feels like a bug from how much manoeuvrability it gets from levels. It's really not that agile in SP and starts off being a brick in MP(but then becomes very manoeuvrable even as early as lvl 10).
>>584006708It's predecessor, the mig25, was the good in a straight line and nothing else plane. The 31, while still definitely being an interceptor and not a fighter, is not as drastically pigeonholed in its capabilities as the 25 was.
So, is it really her in AC8?
>>584007380Unless she changed her name, no
RAILGUN WARNINGRAILGUN WARNINGRAILGUN WARNINGRAILGUN WARNINGRAILGUN WARNING
Despite all the wacky stuff that happens in Ace Combat games, the most unrealistic part is that someone would actually care about a rock band's Bassist.
A bit of an offtopic but has anybody seen that hellraiser game? It's 70 on metacritic but is reviewed really well on steam.
>>584006558just pick one near the ships harbor, watch a video or something, also get a stealth detector if you miss him
>>584006558Coming from the sea, just on the right of the needle.
>>584007380yes, she is La Chanteuse, rosie falcinelli is the princess
Hello. I want a 1950s Ace Combat game where the cover jet is the Republic F-84E with the wingtip pods and the hyper advanced endgame plane is the F-4 Phantom II. That is all.
>>584006412What's her real name anyway? In the comms/dossiers its always A. Severskey
>>584008136Anastasia, don't remember where it's mentioned though
>>584008136Anastasia. Chat was right all along.Thought it was going to be Alexandra.
>>584006708Its the same reason why they thought making a superplane a preorder bonus and available from lvl 1 was a good idea. Its the same reason why they made the worst most dogshit menus ive seen in years. They made a good campaign but completely shit the bed with the online. I've dedicated my time in online to sticking glued to laamboats but its still not really effective because they get value just from existing and firing potshots into furballs. They need to reduce the max amount you can carry to like 9.Also Mig-31s have Qaams for some reason. Its like the mig 31 killed the Su-37 and absorbed its power.
>>584007380>>584007917She is Magnet, La Chanteuse is the younger sister.>But Magnet is called M.StanThat's clearly a fake name not to draw unwanted attention to herself.
What's the best mid tier plane against alicorn / chandelier?
>>584007478>Unless she changed her nameI mean, that doesn't sound unreasonable? Doubt she would want all the baggage that comes with being literally related to Mihaly Shilage, so she has a fake name while being on Cosette's personal handpicked fighter squadron
She's not voiced by Christina Vee though.
>>584008457Mirage-2000 with UGBs.
M28 has to be one of the most bullshit S-ranks possible
How do you do a post stall thing? I'm trying it with the F-22 but the achievement won't pop
>>584008902you have to say markov
>>584008902Press both acceleration and deceleration and pull the stick down at the same time at like ~400-450kmh. Just mash that shit to be sure. It's not that complicated.
>>584008871You learn to get good with SASM or guns real quick if you really want it.
>>584006412
Yinshi Valley is probably the coolest map in the entire franchise
>>584009794I hope they add it to multiplayer eventually
>>584009037That's what it was. I was doing it while pulling the stick instead of both triggers and only then pulling back
>>584009794Plot armor aside it's my favorite for the boss fight with Mihaly. Dodging giant pillars in the middle of a thunderstorm with the music playing made me feel like a god
reckon it's worth getting the steam controller for AC / flyan games in general? the gyro thing seems nifty
>>584010102I remember the gyro being nice for making fine pitch adjustments in AC7. Too bad I'm stuck waiting until next year for my SC2.
>>584009210Belkans are evil but at least they're "cool" evil.Sotoans are just irredeemably evil. If I had 2 bullets and locked in a room with a Belkan and a Sotoan I'd shoot the Sotoan twice
>>584010267With the SC1 that is.
>>584010321Calm down Baxter
Can you use the battlepass plane in the campaign?
>>584010446Only in NG+
>>584008871FA 36>SASM and HPAA>Don't hesitate to nuke the fuck out of the bombers with HPAA first, they are oneshot regardless of where you hit them>SASM if you run out of HPAA but you need to actually hit them properly>Don't target multiple bombers in the same formation, just kill one, and let it kill the others while you move on to the next formation>kill the surviving bombers when you're done with your run>Just resupply whenever it doesn't affect your rank>After the bombers stopped spawning, target F22 and F35 with your SASM instead>refuel right at your 1 minute left mark, you should have 100K-120K points by now, use standard missile from now on>Try to kill Shadows as fast as you can for the time bonus or kill everything on sight, the S rank score is about 154K
>>584010102I haven't tried the gyro, but the back buttons are pretty useful. I put yaw left and right on the top back buttons and flares on the bottom. Makes it easier to yaw while accelerating.
Is there a list of planes in AC8 that can perform PSM?
>>584011209Easier how? When holding a controller youre supposed to have index fingers on L/R1 and middle fingers on the triggers.
>>584006412none of the mega links in the ace 3 translation pastebin work btw
>fighter teammates going for ground/ship targets first.I don't get it. It takes forever for them to do any damage to ships. They can be way more efficient if they go for the air targets. Are these people just scared of chasing AI air targets?
>>584011672Is Sotoa just Belka on Yuktobania's side of the world?
>>584011814while you're questioning my methods my beloved LAAM already gave me 5k scores as I steal ground targets from your hands
what's your problem with mission 15the bombers are too tanky but other than that how can anyone struggle here
>>584011931But they don't really manage to steal much of anything though. That is the problem. They are not scoring anything. They are just wasting time. Feels like they are just being lazy and want to shoot at static targets even as a fighter.
>>584012078must be an airman nugget then
>>584011956repositioning is a bitch and the available planes at that point isn't exactly good
Why is gun delay a thing? Like yeah maybe it's realistic but it's annoying as shit. If you can give my plane the ability to respawn its missiles a hundred times then surely you can give my plane the ability to shoot as the gun door opens instead of needing to wait too. Like it could in every previous game before 7.It sucks, I hate it! It sucks!
>>584009098>>584010856I was trying to do it with X-40 + ELBM and other than being able to nuke S22 1 frame after the cutscene, getting other Shadows with ELBM is complete hell. Only other times I was able to get a a hit in is to bait their wingman's flare with missiles so they start flying straight in front.I also fucked up by taking the deceleration part on X-40 cause this brick now starts stalling during a high-g turn at 1k+ speed due to dropping below 300 DURING the turn
>>584012953>X40yeah don't use this thing, it's dogshit
>Incoming microtransaction slop card gameI'd buy a physical deck with Joker/Queen squadron themes.
>>584013052The time bonus also seems to fall off exponentially. I got them all with around 7:30+ mins left but only got ~13k?? How fucking fast do I have to be to get the 40-50k bonus?
>>584010321I dunno.What's even cool evil? Belkans were okay I guess. Nothing particularly descriptive there outside of hurr-durr we got one guy'd and nuked ourselves LOL. If anything they're retarded evil. Not cool evil. Sotoans were just written like shit and basically are there to be nothing more other than a punching bag, which is completely fine but stuff like this will always be confined by the decisions made by writers and their overall script writing abilities but whatever. Like you build crazy cities on water but uhhh the need to preserve the nomadic way of life, like come on lmao get the fuck outta here, it'd probably be easier and cheaper to just fucking buy land at that point.Writing was never PA's forte anyway.
I'm really happy that they made it so the F-35's standard missiles are mounted in the internal bays rather than the wingtips like before. Much cleaner. Now, if only I could choose wingmate loadouts so they didn't all ruin the silhouette with those 8agms...
>>584006412She didn't have all that in my version of the game.
>>584011814Brother I have a stupid quest that says I need to kill 10 ground targets with a plane above 1500, and the only thing I have above that is a fighter. What do you want me to do?
>>584013341Honestly I only got 27K bonus myself IIRC, I don't bet the whole thing on the bonus time, I just used whatever time I have round 1 killing all the juicy targets instead and killed the shadows normally
>Timegate tickets preventing me from progressing furtherGoddamnit Bamco
>>584013728You've progressed enough, I thinkI'm taking your keys and calling you a cab
Any discounted keys available?
Post memes
>>584013728I can't even buy the Typhoon yet, how do you guys progress the rank exp so fast?
>>584013902deluxepiggies
I want to be stealthy enough to be invisible in warfare unless someone's staring straight at me while I bomb ground targets.
Does anybody in Strangereal have any anti-satellite ordinance or something?
>>584013872
>>584014094How do you think kessler happened?
>>584014094Clearly both Osea and Erusea do given what happened after Farbanti.
>finally get my Typhoon>drivers crash on my first match with itSorry, DT...
>>584014094Stonehenge, Chandelier, that's it I think?
>>584014195Don't worry, we got em.Love me UGBL
This is kinda... wholesome...>Dealer AWACS is a V-Tuber
what if AC9 gives us a cute girl as a faceless pilotthat'd be fucked up haha but what if
>>584013408Cool Evil as in they still created cool shit. Memorable Superweapons, Superplanes, and of course Pixy. Meanwhile the S*t*ans gave us.... the X-40 (a piece of shit) and uhh... a paraplegic woman and a general that cares too much about aurafarming than being a good pilot
>>584014681so what is the 5th wing? Cope?
>>584006412Did that faggot Toprak make it to Ace Valhalla? I sure hope so. So I beat his ass a second time.
>>584014591What gets me is he was also Diplomat in Project Wingman
>>584014734Kate told him to go to HFIL
>>584014727>tasha>coster>professor>wings of cope>kate
>>584014734>Ace Valhalla is just all the singularities bullying the shit out of their rivals and everyone lower on the totem pole just has to scrape byWhere have I heard this premise before
>ground pound in my Su-34>do this unmolested for a few minutes and get three stars >an Su-57 materializes on my tail and starts spamming QAAMs and missiles at me>somehow survive until the end of the match while turning like a retard and lobbing missiles at whatever ground targets would be in rangeSometimes the multiplayer can be actually okay, if they balance a few things and make assault be 4 players they could have a solid formula
>>584014821if it's that obvious Kate shouldn't have asked, but since it's a question I figured I should think about it carefully
>>584014727Perhaps
><< What the-- That bastard! He's shooting at the chutes! >>
>hyper kurd-mongols controlled by the cryptojudeo-irish tech monopolywhy would yuktobania just let them create outer haven off the coast of their desert country and watch as they invade an entire continent for funsies
>>584014727hope
i see you typhoon fag.Go bother the retarded fighters and let me bomp in peace
>>584015087>it appears Sotoa's superiority has led to some controversy
>>584014852I don't know but now I'm interested.
Just adding an obligatory "Ace Combat 8 Online is bad because Project Aces & Bandai are lazy retards" post.
>>584015936Please understand, Project ACES was too busy making the actual fucking game and had to fob off the corporate-mandated multiplayer to the Bamco tard team.
>play strictly only the PVE mode, no PVP or PVPVE at all>get carried by everyone bringing ADF-02 Morgans for easy A rank clears>loadsa monies every timeez pz
>>584016139I self flagellate whenever I fail to carry my team to an S-rank.
>>584016139I only play the PvE as well but get nothing but LAAMniggers. I'd take Morgan spam over this hell.
>>584016139Is the PVE mode worth playing though? Don't the rewards suck?
whoever said SASMs were good, they're fucking not.They drop targeting on the first turn and doesn't explode unless they're basically 1m away
>>584014706I'll be honest the only cool part about Excalibur is that you get to dismantle it. The excalibur is pretty low on my list of "cool" superweapons. A giant orbital gun capable of spewing massive ass bombs sounds way cooler but I'll give Excalibur a pass on account of it technically being the first ever developed superweapon. It's just that it's honestly shit and is basically a very convoluted, expensive and vulnerable AA system. The rest is basically - nukes, mirv nukes (boring) and some planes (which I personally never liked the aesthetics of due to massive and exposed twin jets, this is personal preference). I think not letting the player go up there and actually fuck the superweapon up was kind of a bummer if you ask me.
>>584016331It really doesn't matter what mode you play, the grind for the battlepass is horrendously slow no matter what. Just play the mode you enjoy more. I just chill in PVE
>>584016329You don't want that, at least the LAAMs are restricted to air targets and can only take 2 targets at a time, while a TLS will shoot down a whole formation and the MPBMs will rape anything in the ground.
I was going to nitpick Sotoa needing to laserguide the rods for terminal guidance but then i remembered that they probably don't have a GPS anymore because of the Kessler Syndrome
>>584016616didn't they literally say that in the game
>>584016674If they did i missed it
Look, while the AC8 multiplayer is bad, just be thankful that it could be a lot worse than it is nowZero Fuel Supply Remaining. 12 hours remaining until next Fuel Supply. (Press X to enter the store and purchase more Fuel Supply)
>>584016794Hidden behind 7 more layers of menus, of course
F22 or felon
Emergency Sortie rate is super low while you're in a party?
>>584016794I had plenty of reserved fuel desu, just from events
>>584016794You laugh but it's only a matter of time until AC8 adds Infinity's random bullshit
>>584017062heart and brain says f22, body says felon
>>584017062Kid me says F-22Adult me says Felon
>>584016616that would imply GNSS in Strangereal operates at low earth orbit for some reason (and if it was actually gone, civilian aviation would be completely forbidden from operating)
>>584017062To me it was never F-22 vs SU-57. It still is Raptor vs Berkut.
f35bros... yf23sis... no one wants us...
>>584017062If it's single player LACM is better than XSDB so Felon.If it's multiplayer they only have one good weapon and it's QAAM on both so pick based on which abilities they get. I can't remember so you'll have to check them for yourself.
>>584017646I want F-35.I do not want to grind dozens more games to buy it though.I also do not want to have to grind like ten more randomly spawning emergencies to get it to max level either.
>>584017485You don't need GNSS for civilian aviation if you still have VOR/DME and NDB stations still operating
>Feel like trying the online>Stuck at 0%Guess not.
>>584018070why the fuck is he so useless when not in an official mission?
>>584018258All stats into planes
>>584018258He's a savant
>>584016794If they removed fuel from Infinity it would've literally be better than AC8.Hell, Revival would've probably been just as good if not better if it had an actual decent amount of players.>>584017062Felon is better, it gets crazy good abilities and handles nicer than the F-22 overall.Gun wise I also prefer the heavy SU-57 gun over the Fast firing F-22, but that's personal preference.
How the fuck do I stop running out of missiles/mg in the last mission?
>how do I killGuns.>how do IGuns.>but it's about mov-Guns.
I don't know if I can ever forgive PA from killing the F-5
>>584018887don't shoot until you have a proper killuse guns on things that don't move around too much
is there a setting to make focused camera a toggle instead of a button hold
>>584016353>They drop targeting on the first turnSo does pretty much every other missle if you're dogfighting.>doesn't explode unless they're basically 1m awayBuy the range upgrade
>>584019798>So does pretty much every other missle if you're dogfighting.QAAMs will do 2 full circles arround you before running out of gas
>>584016508I give 0 shits about the battle pass but warfare earns you up to twice as many zollars per match
>need to win one (1) warfare to be done with this dogshit>match either doesn't load or I get more score than all my teammates combinedthe cycles of guilt must continue
>>584015087Faggot should have ejected so I could machine gun him.
>>584019774There is but I forget which specific area it's in
>co-op warfare>wait while everyone cycles their planes, see nothing but fighters in their line ups>take A10>guy waits until the last second to lock in an SU34>does nothing but compete against me for ground kills while everyone's murdered collectively one by one over and over
>>584017646I want F35I do not want the giant bulge underneath it that's the gun pod.
does plane cost matter in warfare?
>>584020056The gun is on the side.
>>584020121think people get more score out of you the higher your cost is
>>584019861They won't actually hit after the 1st turn though.
>just ran into an aceg stack with a Mig 31/Morgan/DA GAYME comboThe flames of hell will not be kind to your so-called souls.
>>584020160oh fuck guess I'm sticking with f4 and mig21
>>584020145>The gun is on the side.Play the fucking game anon
>>584020145that's the internal on the 35A. 35C has ventral gun pod
>>584019275MIght sound like cope but I'm sure I barely missed. I fucked up by going after the 2nd UAV Wave, I'll just ignore them next time around
>Mission 21>Medal: No base damage>Base gets damaged>Get medal anywayThanks Nagase
>>584020367KEK navy loses again
>>584020056It looks ugly but it's actually a good thing since it means you don't have gun delay.
>>584007189The 31 is still a fat thrust brick, not a dogfighter
>finally feel like trying online>game crashes so hard after character creation that hyperland shits itself and restarts in safe modelinuxbros, can we even play online?
>>584020875nope, they didn't check one box
Just 6 more missions with the f4e!
>>584019774>>584019961
Do y'all figure that this guy's name matters? I noticed that there was a name on his tag while the other Endurance officer in this cutscene didn't have one like Pike did, and I couldn't take a better screenshot due to a forced DOF effect
>>584021295His nametag says John Belkan
>>584021429THE Johan Belkan!?
>>584020292I'm happy PA once again nailed the designated wife character
I'm kind of bummed that even in the ending we're stuck larping as Rex instead of being our own thing with Ray
Assault's team composition is WAY less obnoxious than Warfare, holy shit.
FILY ROCKEPOWERED AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DICK TORNADO DIE IN HELL FOREVER DIE DIE IN HELL FOREVER KILL YOU
As much as I like the game, I think I've had enough of the social media/propaganda theme. I know it's the topical, obligatory story trope to use these days, but still.
>>584021852what is even wrong with Rex? Do you just want to be Ray because some hole that doesn't like making the 'eks' sound started a thing?
>>584022195Buddy whyMy Typhoon can be outturned by almost anything, for one
>>584022191They can both be terrible.In bad assaults you have LAAM/LACM spam stealing everything good before anyone else can get close.In bad warfare you have ECM making missiles useless or TLS guy killing you if you ever stop dodging him for one second (and sometimes he kills you even if you are dodging).You can have good games in both modes but you need to be lucky. Also you need the matchmaking to give up and give you less than eight people for assault because eight people is just too many for this amount of enemies.
>>584022195Opinions on Zippy?
>>584022416She called him Ray because she didn't want to call him a dead guy's callsign. Completely understandable.
>>584022416Why do you like being Cope's sloppy seconds? It just feels weird that midway through the game almost everyone starts calling you Ray but then its back to Rex again? I'd rather have the mantle passed instead
>>584021852But being Rex in King 1 just makes sense.
>>584022195They're buddies, though.
I understand the balance and physical logic of why having two special weapons slashes the ammo load but it is funny how otherwise self-contained gunpods somehow lose half their rounds
I don’t like Tasha I think she’s annoying
I hate Kate I think she's lame
My favorite plane is FA-34 GAY
Can someone sell me on HCAA and HPAA's strong points? I'm gonna be stuck with these for at least 48 more sorties, if not 498.Also, the weeklies don't expire for at least 50 more days yes? There's no plane above 1500 that I want aside of EA-36.
Is that one of you autists? I think I saw character like that couple of threads ago.
>>584023320Now, the question you gotta ask yourself is, did he mean the FA-36, or the Su-34? One might think the former because GAY is similar to GAME in letters, but it might be he was calling the Su-34 gay and it's merely coincidence. One may never know the truth.
>>584006412Tasha and her huge namecard cock...
>>584023395>HCAA you got a lotta missiles you can fire about as fast as normal, they're basically extra normals. >HPAAone shots most stuff, useless against all but the most braindead players if PvP.
>>584023395There isn't really much to sell on. HCAA, HPAA, and HVAA are all kinda mediocre and always have been. At the very least they let you perform some ghetto multi-lock shenanigans but you don't really get to do that Online outside of the Arsenal Bird.I think all three would be made more viable, online and offline, if they could also lock ground targets.Also yes you can do the Weeklies whenever. I cleared mine out last night when I was bored.
Your callsign is Gex? How about I call you Gay?
>>584023395>HPAAJust a slow flying high damage missile, can come in handy for emergency sorties. >HCAASimilar to the HPAA except it doesn't have extra damage, worse than the standard missiles at almost everything but can increase your DPS on slow targets.>Also, the weeklies don't expire for at least 50 more days yes? Ye
>weekly mission to use a plane worth more than 1500>my fullback is worth 1700>use it but the mission doesn't complete>tfw its base cost needs to be 1500 and all of my current planes have base cost 1400 or 1450Back to the grind mines for me
>>584024317Yeah that one fucked with me too. I had my Berkut spec'd to 1500 exactly but only the under one counted
>>584022449behead ALL who team with ecm INSHALLA sotoa will punish you
Boy im glad im not in there
>>584024563Boy I'm glad they're in there and we're out here
>>584022195I haven't even been playing fighters in like the last hour or so, what did I do.
>>584024317>>584024410It needs to be the plane's base cost
>>584024317Only base plane cost counts for some stupid reason
>>584022195I killed too much in AC7 and now I'm just running support EW, and if I don't someone else would on the enemy team
>>584023824>GexIf he kept making dated references to TV and movies I'd be all for it
>>584024317Morganchads stay winning
>>584024883Well yes that's the point. It's not really clear in the wording
Does anyone know if the UBG skill makes UGBLs oneshot annoying shit like pillboxes and siege tanks/heavy howlitzers
>>584025468They don't. UGBL + 2 MSL clears everything though.

>>584025774>AC7 HPAAExplain, I never bothered with it
>>584022641Probably hasn't run imto me yet, I've barely touched the online.All I have is a lvl6 preorder Tomcat, a battlepass Morgan, and a MiG for the grind. I just wanna go back to throwing silly amounts of missiles at furballs while dodging incoming fire...
>>584006412>All those sacrifices>All those lost souls>All the battles fought and won>All the tears>Only for the the faceless CEOs to winDamn. This picture actually stings a lot. None of the bastards who instigated everything got what they deserved.
>>584025893Servicable speed and homing with Lv2 parts, and it's a guaranteed OHKO with Lv2 Damage.I think Anon is over-selling them. HCAAs were by far the best non-cancer missiles in the game.
>>584025646Only one UGBL?at level10 i need 2 + 2msl for heavy howlitzers.Is the range upgrade noticable at least? i'm already running double radius parts
>>584026148Neucom bros... how can we even compete?
Is there any reason to play the F-14A over the F-14D? Both are kinda dogshit but the D type is a LAAMthrower. I got both to 20 but unless i put LAAMs on the D type i dont feel like it has a niche at all. It can't really dogfight and it cant really play like a Mig-31 either. Bring back the TGM tomcat immediately I'm so tired.
>>584007380No it’s Rosa’s friend from AAW2019
>>584026645The A gets UGBs so it can ground pound a little bit, but I'm pretty sure it's still classed as a Fighter so it's gonna do fuck all damage.
So, is homing and speed parts pretty much what is recommended to do both for standard missiles and specials for online play?
>Game had to nerf us by timing me out.I need to take a break mr Rocketpwrd
>>584027460It timed me out too, I guess Kono had enough of us fucking people up. Thanks for the matches, buddy.
>>584026645Style points I guess, even though the A is the one known as the really shitty one. LAAM pretty much carries the F14 for PvE and it is otherwise a really meh plane, mediocre speed and maneuverability.
Fuck mission 30. The game should've continue anyway with the endurance being sunk lmao
>Can't dogfight for shit>Try LAAMS>Actually kill peopleI'm screwed when this shit gets nerfed.
>Rafale in MPThis thing is not good. Doesn't turn great and loses speed fast. >HCAABarely better than standard MSL, and the lack of part slots compared to 7 means it can't be improved much beyond that. >LACMThought it would be good but the layout of enemies on MP maps makes it a contender for worst A2G weapon, since the AOE is too small to wipe clusters of ground targets. Not really spamable either due to slow reload, most useful against ships but other weapons do much better.>LAAMHaven't unlocked this yet, but played against it enough to know the missile is good in 08. But it's not worth the Zoll and Blueprints to unlock the weapon when other planes carrying it can also dogfight or ground-pound better.Still gonna play it because this is my planefu.
>>584026148I got upset at the ending. You mean to tell me that that the equivalent of our Epstein class won? At least in AC5 everyone knew who the Grey men were and we shot them down.
>>584028682AC is pure hopecore so I fully expect their victory to be temporary and its end to be extremely explosive
>>584028682It'll work out when we have to fly through a big tunnel in their horrible horrible island
>Epstein classI wish he was still here so he could rape you.
>>584026148considering that General existed as far back as the events of 6, I didn't really take it as Enso restructuring itself as General and more so General harvesting Enso wholesalethis post was brought to you by the GDRF's strongest soldier
>>584028786We'll get the Electrosphere 2.0 game where we fight Nemo only to turn him to the side of good and save the world in an ending that resembles the Helios ending from Deus Ex but actually nice and hopeful
>>584014591And here I was thinking he was some accomplished British actor.. fuck
>>584028972>GDRFGeneral Dynamics Reservist Forces?
>>584028980I hope whatever happens it involves the tools of the corps turning against them. It'd be accurate and poetic. And intensely satisfying to turn their weapons back on them.
>>584028972This, GR already had an air force by the events of 7. Usea has been barrelling down the path to corporatocracy for a very long time.
>>584028786Which is why AC7s ending was so satisfying..
>>584029260I think I am low key dyslexic desu, had the same issue with the JSDF
i cant fucking believe they made the good waifu the one that shows up in none of the trailers or anywhere outside the game
Hey lads. I lurk these threads pretty often, but I’m mainly from /tg/ and /k/, so I’m posting here too with a question for those familiar with tabletop rpgs and in general plane autists.How would one go about running a modern air combat TTRPG, ala Ace Combat or something similar? Something that in terms of combat mechanics would include the following:>BVR air combat>dogfighting>altitude and speed mechanics>ground attackOr is the general concept of a turn-based air combat game too immersion-breaking for the fantasy of air combat? Maybe it’s just better served as more of a skirmish game rather than an RPG?
>>584028786Post like this again and you'll be sent straight back to the farms.
I think someone several days ago was collecting Lv20 plane abilities?If they still are, here's my planefu
>>584028786Buddy, I have some bad news for you...
>>584030110Copyyyyyyyy :D
>>584016139>PVE>loadsa moniesPick one
>>584028848>i wish he was still here so he could rape you
i though missiles were fire and forget, am i supposed to keep the lock after shooting missiles?
>>584029918That just means she's only for those in the know, aka those that actually played the game
>Warfare is a better PvE experience than the PvE modeWhat did they mean by this
>>584030481It's impressive that both the west and Japan are in agreement Kate is superior. Usually there is some division but nope, full agreement
it begins
>>584030030If you want to do a little archive diving, an anon named "X-29A guy" used to run a text-based RPG out of the threads. It was before my time so I don't know the specifics, but perhaps you may find something useful / oldheads might chime in?I don't know if they used a system for it, for example. I seem to recall there being a fighter combat ttrpg system out there somewhere, but it's not really my scene.
>>584030030Aviation wargames might be something to look at. Military wargames (that is, the ones that are held by IRL military forces), too.
>>584030030I remember there being a star wars x-wing/tie-fighter ttrpg and ace combat reskin for it. At least in tabletop sim.
>>584030265What is even considered high altitude for this ability to trigger?

Tasha if she were a _________(and a 24-year-old grad student.)
>>584030030This general actually ran an inhouse RPG a while back, but it was almost entirely handled by a GM who would just post results after we told him what planes we wanted and what we wanted to do, it was pretty sweet (I hope some of you use your TAC name from that in Online, I do)That being said, in terms of an actual TTRPG experience with a group, I've got no experience because none of my table groups would ever be interested, but I do have some rulesets saved for a rainy dayYou might want to look at>Warbirds (The Jet Age supplement in particular)>Air War>The FewOr maybe homebrew stuff using anything with spaceship or mecha rules like LancerSo I don't think Ace Combat is beyond the scope of a TTRPG at all, though I will say a lot of the fun is in the speed and maneuverability so you'll need to do some work selling it in a turn-based environment, and it'd help to have some extra rules and reasons for doing non-plane stuff so it isn't just a skirmish gameAlso BVR is just really gay and there's a reason why Ace Combat's missiles are so close range (and everyone hates LAAMfaggots)Good luck anon
Fun Fact: The craters in Expo City, coinciding with where the Tonitrus Spear strikes occured, line up neatly with the domed megastructures seen in Electrosphere
i want to S rank mission 15 whats the best setup without me getting mad?
>>584030449Only SAAMYou can fire and forget but a fair amount of enemies will dodge or use flares, or the missiles will be affected by clouds or terrainSo when your accuracy is 99% instead of 100%, expect surprises>>584030940Now get the medal for that level :)
>>584030641Alright no but for real why didn't they just have the infinite wave shit in Assault and make ranks tied to combined score

>>584032881I can't even figure out how to do PSMI'm below 500 speed. I press Left Trigger and Right Trigger at the same time and pull up. But all I do is do a high-g turn. PSM never activates. And I'm in the F-22
In my headcanon Dealer looks like picrel
>>584031480Something fast with multi-lockers ideally, and stick your wingmen in something with LAAMs.

>>584033698I remember that and I won't look it up to verify but I believe I'm right
can i get a FUCKING sortie please
Just finished the game. God damn it.
>>584033747This. Just wait. AC6 had a FUCKTON of DLC planes. AC7 also had the Morgan and a bunch of other planes as a standalone DLC. It's gonna happen eventually, Project Aces loves doing extra DLC. don't even bother with the Battlepass crap.
yes, good, let the kate art flow
>>584033863>You get one>Lobby is filled with mouthbreathing retards that refuse to go for the main targets
>>584033698that still sucks

they are gonna take forever for more planes arent they? same with missions.
>>584033871Hope you had fun anon

>>584034190Yes. It was amazing.>>584034237I'm sad its already over. And i took my time, only playing a few missions a day.
>>584034217
>>584031023I see.I wouldn’t be opposed to trying to run a text based rpg here to scratch that itch, honestly.
>>584034419
>>584031480Give the morgan to your teammates and activate SP WEAPONS when in rangeLadons will be nuked
>>584033906i will just creamapi the dlcs
>>584033906My only worry is I won't be able to get the skins. I'm on Linux so I'm stuck to singleplayer anyway, not that I have much interest in the multiplayer. I hope that Razgriz F-14A that's been datamined is attainable. It kinda sucks not having SP options for battlepass progression. Halo The Mustard Beef Connection had it and it worked well enough.
>>584034370Did you play other AC or this was your first one?Also yeah, the game is great.
>>584034507Definitely check out X-29A Guy's run then, mechanically speaking it was pretty light on the player's side, we picked planes from an excel sheet that had costs, we voted on some stuff, we gave a basic idea of our tactics, pretty much all fluff and no crunch, but I'm sure the GM was (probably) rolling dice at leastIt was pretty cool, after it disappeared I figured times would change enough that it'd be impossible to do another, but /aceg/'s held up pretty well over the years so who knowsWhatever you end up doing anon I wish you luckYes I may have saved a post that featured me getting a last hit, sue me
>>584034178If by forever, you mean over a month, then yes, I'm afraid so.
>>584035109I've touched ACs a bit in the past but this is the first one i really stuck with. Perhaps its time to go back and check the others.
Yeah you know what at least 7 gave us a good bit of free skins with updates, and those plane packs always came with about a dozen skins for planes already in game too. This shit is ass dude, it's monetized like a Call of Duty game, Infinity was F2P kusoge garbage and it wasn't even this stingy with aircraft skins. Hell speaking of COD, usually the battle passes in those games have a lot of character and gun skins that are unique. Most of this battle pass is just recolors of one camo pattern. And you can't even get next season's pass for 'free' if you buy this pass, what the actual fuck are they thinking?
>>584034736Would that even work? It seems that it's tied to your Ace Combat Online account and bought in game, not a DLC.
>>584030864I did some testing and it seems to be a gradual increase from about 500 to 1000, rather than a binary yes/no. >Parts Super Maneuverability 2, Flaps 2 (irrelevant), and Top Speed 2>MethodologyNeutral throttle, level flight, time how long it takes to yaw a flat 360If anyone sees any glaring issues with my testing, I can retest.Also down to test other ambiguous parts like low speed, med speed, etc as long as it doesn't cost yellow foldersI'm really glad they didn't just take the flight ceiling of 12000 and divide it into 3 sections for low, med, and high altitude
>>584035312Welcome homeYes, if you enjoyed this one you'll definitely enjoy the others now. You are ready

>>584026320>Neucom bros... how can we even compete?That's the thing, you don't. Neucom gets bodied in every path in 3, even in their own routes/the Ouroboros route they're still struggling to knock out GR's White Valley base, they still get their Megafloat nuked, and they're still unable to keep GR from launching attacks on the Megafloat even as Ouroboros is busy facefucking every faction. And in the story side Fiona/Cynthia are less likable/interesting than Dision/Keith. Neukeks are genuinely useless.

>>584041458That’s funny, whenever I encounter Su-57s I often go ham on them via ecms and TLS, as well as abusing the partial PSM to its limit to fuck them over. The only other craft I can think of that can match the Morgan is the Su-57
>>584039656For SP yes, HCAA and UGB are great no nonsense weapons for rapidly clearing missions. Now for MP it has to be the C, the fighter modifier does no favors for UGB and you will already be really occupied competing with LAAM boats for kills, but SASM is good and coupled with the Eagle's speed you can do pretty good in Warfare.

>>584043373>>584043494>>584043936They should NOT make it real because it ruins the purpose of Nemo having all possible futures planned out. They should be JUST about to happen. Also Nemo being the ultimate cuck's revenge terminator is so based. I love him.
>>584044121Also making it real ruins the kino twist.
>>584044052
why do i keep getting the air to air version of fort grays island on warfare?
>>584044121>Also Nemo being the ultimate cuck's revenge terminator is so based.I like how not one but TWO people get cucked in 3, and one of them is the digital copy of Dision who go to watch him bone Martha before they got schwacked by corpo commandos. 3 is a very silly game.
>>584008871It's not that bad anon. Pipeline Destruction is way worse. I got my S rank with 130k points and 9 minutes 45 seconds on the clock, no checkpoint restarts. I thought for sure I was cooked because it was taking a while to kill those faggot singing lastboy Shadows. But, I made it. You can too.
>>584038821>whistle it to myself>I'm breathing shallow and my tongue is dry>Become a shadow as my thoughts slip by>He's gonna take you back to the past>to play the shifty games that suck assPlease die
>>584044262Grays has no A2G version in Warfare, only in Assault
>>584044262Because it's fucking based and they need to x4 the amount of bad guys for both teams in that mode for that map.
All the events will be canon except the endings and for some of the deaths, so everyone will be confused as fuck and horrified that someone might have Ctrl+C'd Nemo(You) have to play catch up and prevent a scenario where everyone loses and everyone dies
>>584044052This could be a neat concept for an Ace Combat game. Group of mercenaries just slumming it while going from minor conflict to minor conflict.
>>584044121That's a good point>Nemo is set free after ending 5>AC8+2 is about beating a victorious Nemo
>snipe down the f-14 shadows early>transport instantly dies even though im right next to itreally now
>>584044121>>584044309tfw no AC game where you have a chad Nemo wingman.
best plane to farm mission 16?ive been using berkhut
>>584044332ah, but ive been getting fort grays 3 times in a row >>584044349i just hate the laam boats they are super annoying.
>>584044435i shadow down = +1 hit on the transport.they REALLY wanted them to die
I want a properly co-op version of Warfare. The infinitely spawning waves of bullshit is fun
>>584044495ZOE needs to stop being an enemy. I've had enough terminator Skynet clones, let's have one that just wants to heckin' fly.
>>584044309Insane plot from fakeDision's perspective>wake up inside a computer>watch someone who looks like you bang your girlfriend>watch them both die>get airraped by some AI named Nemo designed by your dead girlfriend's weird stalker
>>584044393Savia side-story, their economy relies on mercenaries after all.
>>584043008When do I have time to pursue it?
>>584043758I'm genuinely looking forward to the next Cyberpunk, but I've had my expectations massively tempered by being a day one player of 2077. Phantom Liberty was cool and that level of polish should've been the standard for the base game with how much hype was surrounding it.My excitement for AC8 probably won't be matched for a long time though. Watching the general wax and wane prior to 7, then watching it wind down after the DLC missions/TGM and then seeing the small handful of posts here about its TGA trailer, and seeing it grow again to today where we've got multiple threads per day has been really special.
>>584044997>their economy relies on mercenaries after all.This is the first time I'm hearing it
>Boys, I'm putting together a team
>>584043758Same. I was worried that it'd be a slight disappointment like AC7 (which is still good, but deeply flawed) but instead PA seemed to have learned from 7 and went full throttle.I am disappointed that I haven't run into a Fleet Destruction equivalent yet in my playthrough, though. Don't tell me if there is one.
>>584045056Terrible releases are just a CDPR quirk>>584044997>their economy relies on mercenaries after all.never knew
>>584043758Welcome to adult life. I remember my hype for metroid prime 4 being completely killed the moment they announced it was handled by someone other than retro studios.Now we wait another ten years for the next one.
>>5840437588 was the first major release I had been looking forward to since 7the only good AAA games since then have been cyberpunk and ToTK I think
>>584044997Hold up, they rely on what now for their economy?
>>584045263It wasn't like this in the 00's. Like 2004 was an unc's paradise.
>>584045007You can as soon as they spawn, position yourself close to the point they will likely be and shoot down at least one of the missiles for some breathing room, you only need to down one bomber to spawn the ace.
>>584044997Why wasn't the online wrapping us playing as Savian mercs instead of completely faceless, factionless goons.
>>584044997>their economy relies on mercenaries after allDoes it? I hadn't noticed!
>>584045056CDPR jank+UE5 jank sounds like a match made in hell. Shame RED Engine is such a bitch to work with because it looks gorgeous and runs on basically anything from the past five years.
>>584045376The mid 90s to the early 2010s was the golden era of gaming. It was all downhill after the last of us and beyond two souls.
>>584045376I'm barely looking forward to big games anymore except for a few franchises that I still enjoy, but I fill the holes in my soul with smaller indie gamesIt's true we don't get years anymore where there was a banger game coming out every week (1998, 2004 although 2023 was pretty good in that regard) but the state of gaming isn't nearly as bleak as some of the doomers make it out to be
>>584043758Preordered 8 and the only release that would move me so is new Jensen game of DE fame.Shit won't be that good for many major entries
>>584045660Yeah, that's why I said this isn't an "adult" thing. This is an industry problem.
Man I really need to learn to play more with the camera tracking. Got used to playing without out but it's becoming an issue online.
>>584045056I didn't enjoy CP77 even as someone with a high tolerance to bugged games, as soon as it was clear that Johnny was the main protagonist and I was not really playing a RPG my interest tanked, its a well produced game with good worldbuilding but I just couldn't really like him.
Warfare queue broke again?
how do i increase this?
>>584046072its random i think
are there any kind of actual stats for the parts? I don't know how useful some of the parts actually are, or if some of them stack. This is the same problem I had in 7.
>>584045624I've got cope/hope since I've had good luck with UE5 games and even launch 2077 was fine on PC (full of jank but no egregious Bethesda-level gamebreaking bugs like the console versions had), and I was playing on a 7th gen laptop i7 at the time. Playing buggy games and living most of my life with potato toasters has really lowered my floor for what counts as tolerable.>>584045962That's more than fair, if you can't get into the narrative of a narrative-driven game then that's definitely a nonstarter. I haven't gotten around to the Witcher games or Elder Scrolls because I'm not a big fantasy RPG guy.
Having pretty good luck in TDM so far. The few times that I didn't get first place was because some LAAMboat managed to sneak in furball kills.>Pick LAAMplane>Fire LAAMs>As soon as someone closes in on you, you suicide (You don't lose points anymore)>You respawn from afar and fire LAAMs once more>Rinse and repeat.I've seen this happen a few times and it's the most gay way to play, but it's shockingly effective.

LET ME INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ace Combat games have to be super rentable, no ? I mean, in 8, besides the plane models, the clouds perhaps, and the character models for cinematics, there's barely anything impressive.The maps aren't very detailed, the gameplay doesn't look like its super deep either coding wise.Not trying to shit talk the game at all, on the contrary i think its great. I think many AAA games these days are trying to do too much.
>go fight the other team>Spend the entite game 1v4>Bomber doesn't even score shit>LAAMs somehow track better close range than QAAMs
>>584043758I remember randomly telling my buddies I had a feeling AC8 was gonna get revealed during the TGAs, then we had the slow buildup towards the reveal which made my heart sink and the eventual sleeper agent awakening when they mentioned the FCU followed by me losing my shit. It was magical
>>584046521Is vidya renting even a thing anymore?
>>584045962You know you can tell him to fuck off right? Not for every scene obviously but the doesn't force you to like him. Half the fun of having him in your head is doing shit he hates like working with corpos. Although personally the reason I like it is because it's not a traditional RPG, every one of those I've tried I bounce off of hard. Partially because I have an irrational hatred of TTRPGs and all the crunchier CRPGs take after those. The only hardcore CRPG I've ever really liked is Deus Ex and KOTOR 1 but I still never finished either.
>>584046521>>584046605Sorry i meant profitable. ESL.
>>584046605Believe it or not Gamefly somehow still exists.
>>584046675Deus Ex is significantly less of an RPG than Cyberpunk is
>>584046521Infinity managed to scrape enough money together to fund 7 so yeah I can't image they're that expensive to make.Or Bamco actually accepts taking risks, dunno.
I need to spam Assault to get some levels for the actual cool planes, are any of these particularly good for it? I fucking hate the F/A-18C's handling
>>584046945People glaze Deus Ex for its story, but a lot of it is>you picked that skill? lol, you fucking moron
>>584047113That only applies to swimming
>>584047113A lot of the old RPGs / ImSims had similar issues where one or two skills were just complete traps.
Whatever you do, do not read up about Colonel Timur Vinokourov
>>584046945Wouldn't know that from the way people talk about it. My problem with it is just the old game jank, it's right at the level I just can't stomach unfortunately. JC was designed in a lab to be the perfect secret agent and he can't shoot straight unless he stands still for 5 second, fuck off with that tabletop D&D bullshit.
>>584047284It's not so much that they were traps, it was>in our game, you can do anything>yeah, you can totally use this skill to avoid things>play however you want!And then in actually there's a meta way to play. Sort of like how in Dishonored the combat system is well thought out, but you're supposed to just stealth and teleport everywhere.
>>584047079>intruder, prowlerok>fishbedfun>tomcatbraindead laam wagon>frogfootabysmal dogshit
>>584046521>The maps aren't very detailed, the gameplay doesn't look like its super deep either coding wise.Anon the maps are part of why the game's 140 gigs. Project Aces' autism has them make things like the cars on roads fully 3D modeled objects with collision and a driving pattern, and one of Kono's tweets/AC8 interviews brought up that they modeled the fucking fan blades inside air conditioning units on the maps. They know precisely that 99.9999% of the players aren't looking at those details, but having high quality backgrounds like that elevates and immerses the rest of the game. Take a look at Project Wingman for a good but not particularly detailed map.
>>584046675I finished the game and did all the endings, I did tell him to fuck off multiples times but at that point I was already done with him and there were always that feeling that the narrative was always on the side of him. I dont think I am an RPG elitist or anything and can still see why people like it, and I am not really one to talk shit about the fans of other games since my favorites are Bloodlines and F 1/2/NV
>>584047439Dishonored has the Metal Gear problem where you get a shitload of cool toys but the game heavily encourages nonlethal/ghost gameplay
>>584030030Before Ace Combat 7 came out I did actually ran an Ace Combat-inspired campaign for my IRL TTRPG group. I was using an already existing system and modified it in a pretty incompetent way, but it was fun. There was an altitude mechanic which modified certain rolls depending on difference in altitude and allowed for execution of certain maneuvers. There was ground attack, superweapon fights, enemy ace squadrons and a lot of Zero music playing in the background. There was no BVR tho because the setting was my fictional universe's World War IFuck I wonder if I have the rules written down somewhere still
How do you enter the aircraft viewer in the tree menu?

Really annoys me how there wasn't a tunnel run this time, I hope the DLC missions can rectify this
>>584047965Don't worry buddy, you've got like half a decade before the next game comes out to earn that achievement.
>>584047965don't do this to yourself brother
>>584047439>>584047602Dishonored's real problem is that the combat almost trivializes the game with no real punishment aside from High Chaos, which a player who prioritizes gameplay over narrative won't care about too much anyways.>>584047562Yeah you're not wrong about that. And despite what I said I do wish it had a bit more depth mechanically, a lot of the skill treee is just stat padding and there really should have been a reputation system of some kind with the gangs and corps.
>>584048005>one of the missions has you destroying weapons caches>look for tunnel run section>nope, you just attack them from certain anglesMade me mad.
>>584048005>>584048109You guys DID fly through the geothermal plant, right?
>>584048171Yes
>>584048171I haven't gotten that far yet.
my PSMs are way more consistent now that i know only the pull up requires a delay
>>584048171Of courseIn both directions to freak out the squad
>>584047315>Vinokourov was hit over Theve and his aircraft exploded. Shortly after the war, relatives visiting his home to sort through his belongings discovered skeletal remains in the cellar of someone who had died at least 12 years previously. Dental records confirmed the body was Vinokourov's.
Would American Society be better or worse if we built a Stonehenge Turret Network outside of Tulsa?
>>584048171yeawacs has a line for flying through a second time
>>584048171>taking UGBs to that missionDamn Sotes thought they were being sneaky. Instead they ended up recreating Land Battleship 2.
>>584047315Bet he's a sublimated human in a COPRO unit
There were genuinely tons of tunnels to fly through in AC8 but because almost none of them were FORCED everyone bitches and moans the game didn't have anyLike what is your fucking standard for a tunnel run, does it need to be a 5km long tunnel that you chase an ace through? Does it need to have a dozen ground targets and branching pathways?
>>584047610Please share them if you manage to find them. Do you vaguely remember the system you used?
>>584048746Exactly what I did in my Berkut lmao
Sotoa?More like Scrotoa am I right?
>>584048807>fly underneath White Valley Runway>destroy the Land Battleship's tracks by flying under it before the side skirts are off>turntable>Fatsia>Newfield IslandAny others I'm missing?
>>584048807Personally I'm with the games not just hitting obligatory checkmarks desu
>>584014161https://youtu.be/_3JfHrEV78o?si=e6g4LpLRAFMxSY4eIt's just too kino bros. Best AC soundtrack ever and I don't say that lightly.
>>584048171>>584048684I did it and did not get a line :(
>>584048171About 3 times before the voicelines triggered, made me pretty mad.
>>584049049>destroy the Land Battleship's tracks by flying under it before the side skirts are offyou can WHAT
>>584015235I get the impression that the Yukes didn't care as long as they didn't directly bother them. It probably served their interests that Usea was a fucking disaster zone.
>>584048807I think mandatory tunnel runs are important because they push new players to get out of their comfort zone and just do the run, which lets them learn how to do optional tunnel runs get get better.I started with AC7, yes the final tunnel run was a bitch, but I learned. Imagine if there was no tunnel run in AC7. I might never have learned.
I'll just start leaving games when i see 2 barricaders in a team
>>584048684>>584049257>>584049259I think the game prioritizes HOLY SHIT THUNDERSTRUCK WTF NOW dialogue, so if you kill them too fast then nobody reacts
>>584048807>does it need to be a 5km long tunnel that you chase an ace through?to be fair one of these would be nice
>>584018258He's an autistic schizo, which is based.

>>584029918I loved her since the first time I heard "ABOVE YOU FLIES THE WINGS OF THEVE" in the trailer.
Hey Tornado bros, check out one of the posters in the Arcade in the multiplayer lobby, there's a familiar looking plane on it.
>>584049931I noticed it being bad in the land battleship mission. I don't give a shit about this fucking thing's AA, just let me target the heat sinks.
>>584049931Zero had far fewer targets. 7 and 8 soft implement Zero's boresight where target changing is weighted towards things in the center of your screen. It's more noticeable playing 7 or 8 right after you play a PS2 game.
Hey, quick question.What do the enemy colors mean now? I understand what white means (basically just chaff), obviously mission priority markers mean mission priority, but what does orange mean?Veterans? Higher points? Enemies that actually do things?
>>584050072It's annoying because I catch myself constantly mashing Y just hoping that I can get a lock on one specific player, especially since you can't really fight back against a TLS unless you know the player is.>>584050150Whatever it is the current targeting system is more of a hindrance than a help for me
>>584050261The more red they are the more points you get for killing them.
>>584048171I felt like such a dumbass for missing the incredibly obvious AC2 reference until I flew inside it
>>584050261READ, THE GAME TELLS YOU THISyes it's points, mission critical targets are now circled instead
>Digimon officially plays AC nowRena with Renamon when?
>>584048848I've used modified Savage Worlds, it's not super mechanically complex and the rulebook encourages using it for a lot of different things whether it's fantasy, 20th century or sci-fi. I definitely gave less points during character creation because most skills would end up useless in an Ace Combat campaign. We were using a tactical map with hexes and since the system is multi-action the way I tackled height is by spliting actions into changing altitude and flying straight. You could dump all of your actions into flying down to do a sharp dive but not really move on the map, fly as far as you can and cover a lot of the map or do something in between. If someone was changing altitude I would write the altitude "level" on the map with a marker (our map was laminated). When calculating ranges for attacks I think we would simply add the number of hexes and the difference in altitude between targets. I don't remember how I handled turning but I think you had to do a circle so the lower your speed the sharper your turns would be and there was a special maneuver (maneuvers were passive or active ability you would pick during character creation or while leveling up) that allowed you to do a 180 too
Tunnel section into a mountain but it opens up inside into a large enough section to dogfight in
>>584050551Renamon bikini skin when?
>>584044104I wouldn't say all the DLC, if we get story DLC probably not, and if the MP flops also probably not, but I assume aircraft are tied to the battlepass and if memory serves me right I wouldn't trust it on this one as I might have literally seen it in a dream after the battlepass is over you buy the plane from the online store with Ace Coins.
guys what ifamphibious planes
>Play multirole in warfare with a multirole loadout>Teammates alt+f4 out of the lobby because I dont fit in the fighter/fighter/ew/attacker metaI wish MMR wasn't so fucking strict so I could play with casuals again.
>>584051070What is that little hook on the AIM-9X?
ACO needs to take a page from Fortnite and let me queue directly into another match of the same modeEven on a good PC and a good connection the lobby loading screens are still grating when I'm going to be doing the exact same thing I just finished
So what exactly is the difference between an airburst gun and a flak gun
Working for I3 must be so comfy, as long as you prove your competence they heavily subsidize your shit, because after 34 years of Zollar inflation those planes are dirt cheap comparing their price to the ones in Zero. That or Osea went through an incredibly effective deflation process.
>>584050873I'm more partial to Sakuramon (Nightraven Mode)
>>584050150Dosen't help that they LOVE to cluster targets together, it was bad in 7 but trying to lock on to TGTs on some of the objectives in 8 can be awful
>>584050465Sorry, the first time I noticed it was Shark squadron, and Baxter told me "don't shoot my friends down" so I thought it might be that for a second.

i just want you guys to know there's an guy in /wtg/ that is constantly seething and hallucinating about your game and he's been shitting up the thread for a while

>>584054810What'd we do
>>584054442No, I was planning on doing it tomorrow Doesn't help that last time I checked we didn't have any inactive players to kick
>>584046521The problem is that the customer base is small because normal faggots have no taste and don't care about flying games. They don't look up in their shooter games and struggle with visualizing 3d spaces. They need the yellow paint to show them where to go. They don't know how they'd feel if they would have skipped breakfast this morning and they can't see the apple in their mind. They are very content with purchasing Madden's Call of BattleFIFA every year. They also are allowed to vote.

>>584055029he just keeps saying tranny combat or cries about off topic whenever someone brings up the game, sometimes he doesn't even need people to be talking about it, he just hallucinates an ace combat discussion. i think he really hates tasha in particular for some reason

>>584055823I'm just sick and tired of playing the same team deathmatch shit they had since 2013. Also while i enjoy BVR on paper, its not fun to have two bunch of retards spamming a billion missiles going head on again and again.There's a billion others reasons why i stopped playing anyway.
>>584048171Of course. I honestly thought it was necessary to clear the mission. Sadly due to the dialogue bloat at the time I only got 2 voicelines to play despite flying through like 6 times.
>>584056112I am taking a break from gaijin's bullshit, and you're absolutely correct about the team death match shit. I was exited about the nuclear thunder thing that they did for the April event and would like to see them flesh it out into a proper large scale battle over real objectives. But it seems like they're intent on trying to shit up the idea.I had a lot of fun diving through the hills and valleys to dodge the theater level AA. At one point I swear that my RWR started play Darude Sandstorm.
>>584056475They will never allow the game to have anything thats more popular than the base game mode. Over the years they made sure to cater to the most retarded normgroids. Faster battles, small maps city maps for tanks, mixed nations everywhere, change histoical battles to "realistic" ... Fuck these niggers. The game has infinite potential, there's no other game like it. And it will forever be fucking slop.
>>584046465>increases damage for standard missiles>20%>increases damage for standard missiles against Air-to-Air/Air-to-Ground targets>10%Why. You'd think the target-specific damage boost would grant you more than the generalized one.

botched mission 14 on my S rank run now I gotta do son of a bitch all over again
2 Chandelier kills, S and B rank and they only gave me 2 blueprints each, the fuck? Im still on 1/5 daily limitI thought you get 2 when you fail to kill the boss in the first place
Just finished zero for the second time. Only soldier style is left. Is knight supposed to be the easiest?
>>584057470Why are you still playing
>>584055189lmaothere has been a DCSfag constantly shitting up AC threads in /v/ for years now
DickTornado, N_Z, thanks for the raid. Shit was fun.
Do I even want to bother with ACO if they ever enable Linux support in EAC?
You know, as bad as HCAA is it at least isn't one of the XAAMs.
>>584052302Wings of Theve rhymes with Ghost of Kyiv
>>584054810What has he been saying?
Did you guys know a well-angled SOD can wipe out an entire float module in the Megafloat mission? I wasn't expecting to get so much out of the FA-36, has something for almost every situation. Only if it had cooler wings..
The X-40 is the lamest superjet in the history of ace combat. The drones are shit. The burst shots are shit. It flies much worse than the fa-36 and is slower too. What's the fucking point?
turns out your loadout doesn't matter, if you're a laggy piece of shit you will kill anyone with a shitbox
>>584058848>The X-40 is the lamest superjet in the history of ace combatbro, your X-02S?
>>584059067The best manoeuvring jet in the entire series, has actual useful weaponry like qaam? Yes the x-02 is great.
>>584058848Uhhhh it's pretty tanky while still being fast?
>>584059067you are fucking out of your mind if you think the Wyvern is worse than the X-40
if the x40 makes it to online it will execute whatever is left of the playerbase
Why does PA hate attackers? The only carrier viable one is the A-6E shitbox and it's the only class without a superplane.
>>584059497Blame real life.
>>584058848It can cut tighter angles WAY faster than any other plane but there is no point because missiles do shit all against any decent enemy and its special weapons are so limited that there is no point to all speed/maneuverability unless you're an MG/Railgun god
>>584058848It feels like it got slammed with the superplane nerf hammer despite this being its debut game and it not even being usable in MP (afaik). Raven wasn't even this dismal.
>>584059210NTA, but the S had>4AAM>LASM>EMLnot QAAM. I also think it's a total visual downgrade from the X-02A.

Serious question. Why has no one played 6? Everytime i talk to someone, they played 4,5,0,7 even 3, BUT NEVER 6. It's decompiled and playable on pc now. What's the fucking excuse?
>>584059437They're adding the Nosferatu, if you think the meta is cancer now, get ready to see some shit.
>>584059497Because this is a game about being a fighter ace, not an A-10 jockey.I agree, though, there needs to be more missions that favor attackers.
>>584059497ADLER shall return.
>>584059781I never owned a 360 and the recomp still doesn't work on Linux...
Why is this the first model kit?? Who the fuck is this?????
>>584059781Speak for yourself
>Shoot QAAM>Vaporise from existence when nigger touches the stick>Enemy shoots standard msl>780 arround you for 5minsI don't fucking get it
>>584059781It's a mistery.
>>584058848If I were Enso Order I would definitely scam those nomad larpers with a "super plane" that I know the enemy could easily shoot down.
>>584059781I bought a 360 over the PS3 back in the day because 6 was exclusive. It was worth it until that piece of shit red ring'd on me6 does a lot of cool things I wish they'd try again, it only gets a bad rep because most people couldn't play it and the story was weak and short. But I still think it's mechanically the best Ace Combat. Operations were an incredible way to add replayability, Allied Assault/Support were cool and Ace of Aces was fucking fun as shit to play.
>>584059781Recomp is a pretty recent thing and effectively no one was buying a 360 to play AC6. Also Xbox lost the console race HARD after the 7th gen and all their exclusives also came to PC, so relatively few were buying Xbox at all let alone for its exclusives.

>>584061967It's mostly agricultural. Some mining interests. A reasonably sized port facility.A handful of PMCs.
>Defending the shuttle >Suddenly, Nagasae starts talking about all the ways she fucked Blaze >Like, goes into extreme detailWas that really necessary?
>>584062206Is that what she was talking about? I kind of didn't pay much attention, but now that I think about it the mentioning of how long it took them to wash the sheets was kinda weird.
>>584061718it's hard to find a xbox 360 USA .iso, will an Asia, Japan .iso work
>>584058848Once you unlock it and use it, the money you spent on it feels lost. The Game is superior because it comes with actually usable weapons. What does the X-40 come with that's useable? Qaams? The UAVT could be good, but they're tracking is fucking shit. They're only good against ground targets. Soon as mods start rolling out, I'm commissioning someone to really buff the UAVTs and make the EML have a large AOE effect.
>>584062314there's only one NTSC release for both Japan and USA. don't forget the DLC.
>>584062173Though i would see more memes about that line
>>584062302What was weirder is when Tasha started taking notes, and muttering about how Coster might like that.
>>584061652Coster's tac name is Noise. So when Tasha asks who/what that voice was on the comms, Coster's making a pun that it's radio noise/it's him. Also cute because Tasha's laughing at her husbando's dad jokes.
>>584062442It seems they nerfed its weapons on purpose for the online, which is stupid. If they want to do that, it should have different values offline and still be op. Heck, it's worse than the su57 or f22 even.
>>584058559watch macross plus to gain a deeper appreciation for it
Please explain to me why I get notifications for the Ace Pass even when literally nothing has changed and I neither leveled up nor gained XP and there's nothing interactable on the menuAlso when will they add an option to speed up the menu transitions? With as much menuing as we have to do for EVERYTHING it's really grating
>>584062997
>>584062513it's pretty hard to find.
>>584062997it’s letting you know your xp went up by 15 pointsI’ve already completed the pass and I get a notification after every game still kek
So does ECM just make your missiles invisible? I've been killed with zero warning by jammers a few times.

>>584062014AssHor's paint customization so we can make our own. But that won't happen because then they can't monetize all the crappy MP skins.
I wanna customize my single player character toooooooo
I think one of the things they could have done to give the X-40 a more superplane feel to it would be to give it a different, more powerful gun like the integrated PLSL in the ADF-11F. Hell, give it an integrated TLS that runs as long as you keep the button pressed but runs out quickly to really set in what its preceding.

>>584065707Thanks, I kinda thought the HCAAs fell off but I'll try them anyways since 4AAMs just aren't it unless I have a support piggie with an ESM in my backpackCurious, do you think missile flight speed parts make the guidance on them worse?

Going from commentating in /aceg/ games in the VGL to being in Ace Combat proper is a trajectory I didn't expect at all, it really feels like a dream. Happy people like my vtuber too.
>>584055823>>584055354When I played War Thunder I pretty much only played until they added heat seeking missiles, that was the beginning of the end. The dogfighting was actually fun and competitive and the difference between an actual skilled player and a stats merchant was like night and day.
>>584068840what's up faggotit's not that i hate you, you just aren't as exciting as a character as 7's awacsmen
>>584068884Yeah. I miss back then when props was serious business. When the games were 50 minutes long. We had long battles where we fought tooth and nails until the last minute. Historical battles, Japan Vs America. When the burgers were actually competent, it was fucking insane. People actually climbed too. Now its just a big low altitude moshpit.

Where's Shadow 11?
>>584068840you might be lying about being Dealer for >you(s) but in case you really are Dealer: you did a good job. Don't let the bucket of crabs get you down, you enriched the game. Mission 20 is an all time Ace Combat moment and I think time will be even kinder to AC 8 than people already are being, especially after the (likely) DLC. I mean if 7 got DLC then 8 probably will do. Have a good weekend AWACS Dealer.
>>584069432on your six
>>584069372Bandog was completely understandable in why he did it. Full Band was a dumbass, an asshole, and deserved what he got. I did not feel bad for Full Band in any capacity - but how he used Count to do it was beyond scummy.
Dealer isn't very eccentric but I like that he's more personal and chummy with Joker squad and is a lot more responsive to the situations they end up in where most AWACS everything like business as usual
>>584048171was I not supposed to
>>584068840If it is you, good work. Genuinely, you did nice work. And you don't gotta prove anything, but for the culture, quote Pixy on twitter or something.

>>584066836300C/575F. I don't even cook at that temperature outside of grilling
>>584069896It's not woke because it doesn't have the intellectual approach to cultural and racial diversity as a middle-schooler.The reason people are chill with there being strong female characters and non-whites (lol) is because it's completely natural about them being there. It doesn't act like it has a chip on its fucking shoulder regarding western social politics, which is exactly what woke means.Nobody, who isn't mentally stunted, have any problems with there being black people or women in games, unless it's made in spite and with sarcasm, or to earn some sort of social bonus points.

>>584071026It really isn't. It's not the first time there's been women in AC, nor black people. If that's the criteria you've set then AC has always been woke.
>>584071528>AC has always been wokeWell yeah, arguably even more so than 8 considering their stories.
>>584069609I like that he's in over his head as everyone else in Joker squad once Rex takes over. Dude has to git gud on the fly and the ><<This is a terrible plan, isn't it>> moment was the peak Hail Mary moment of him having true blue faith in us to succeed against the odds
>>584070362>it doesn't make me cringe and roll my eyesXO was pretty cringey desu with the cake comments. It also made me roll my eyes several times how people were treating her like some sort of badass at the end of the story when she reveals she used to be AWACS too. Not to mention the dumb ass plans she comes up like Retaking of Theve 1.
>>584071609I was considering bringing up AC5's hamfisted anti-war message lmaoAnd even more obnoxious Nagase. To try and scrutinize AC8 for shades of wokeness is straight up silly.
>>584069896No you fucking faggot kill yourself. AC has had all of those before you even knew what "woke" was except maybe the black woman as your boss.Rip my nigga Wiseman, I crippled that faggot Erusian for what he did to you
>slightly improves missile performancewhat the fuck does that mean and why would I take it over the damage bonus selected?
>>584072416The damage bonus doesn't hit any important breakpoints, the MSL bonus gives you a better chance to land hits.
>>584071915That feels more like a plot problem than a character issue, and has less to do with being woke than anything else. That's something that would've happened regardless of the character's race and gender.
>>584066294I only ran into my first one yesterday, all In mig-31 with variations of the same username. they flew around in a gay little furball the whole match, you could tell it was a bunch of discord kittens whining to one another whenever I dived in and took two out because the other two would respawn and come after me all togetherrather pathetic really

I like how Tasha eventually just embraced Pinky lol
Someone asked in the previous thread what new ideas they could use for AC9 in terms of superweapons and just overall innovation and I thought it was quite interesting to hear people's ideas. Can we do that again?Honestly, if not new superweapons, I'd like to fuck up a superbioweapon. Just some big motherfucker that just lasers and atomic breaths everything like that thing in the movie redline.Wasn't there a godzilla crossover in ace combat infinity?
