Cum historia
Cope is cool. I doubt he'll ever get much fanart tho
>>584070721And this is only a quarter of Wings squadron.
>>584070676I got into AC thanks to ACX. I rate 7 higher though. 8 about on par with 7 with potential to exceed it if multiplayer gets good.
>>584070721Typa shit old people repost on Facebook
>>584070804hell yeah
>>584070783I still think Unsung War is the greatest piece of music in the entire series
>>584070786
>>584070941Between it and Blue Skies Infinity, yeah nothing else comes close to those two for me.
I'm retarded, which plens should I get for decent Online match results?

>>584071084Rush the F-16
>>584070504>DELAY THE FINAL ATTACKfake and gay nowgotta go fast
>>584071084whichever mig has laams
>>584071084Mig-31>>584071171F-16 requires you to be good at using it, it's not idiot proof.
>>584055271There's been a hungarian schizo on /v/ trying to shit up any AC8 thread since before release, but he kind of blends together with our historically obsessed DCSfag who's been going since at least 2020 or so. Generally the tactics I've seen by the trolls is just a concoction of>DCS is le good>Uh, woke? Women and blacks in the military?>Uh Project Wingman is WAY better than AC (as if having two good games isn't just good for us)I've no idea what makes him (or them) so mindbroken about AC in particular but it's very funny considering how relatively niche the games are. Now I'm not sure if this /wtg/ fellow is any of the above but it's probably best to keep him to your place anyway.
>>584071498>>584071171aren't kwams decent with guidance and flight distance upgraded?
>>584070721
>>584072058Yeah it irks me whenever people try to drive artificial wedges between AC and PW. One is a fucking fangame/love-letter to the other which just nodded to it in the most recent game, why does everything have to be a fucking pissing contest?
>Warfare>Other three teammates go fighters>Alright I'll go Attacker>The three all try and gun it for ground targets>Accomplish literally nothing the whole match>Stuck fighting off the entire enemy team every other minuteThe mental disability of this playerbase continues to baffle me for what I've been told is a supposedly niche franchise
>>584072109They're not that much better than normal missle against players. SASMs are better for dogfights.
Does the typhoon LAAM do more damage than the F-14D LAAM?
>>584070786The only one that needs to exist does exist
Repost since I didn't see the new threadWhat the fuck does this part mean? Is it better than increasing the damage against targets (selected)?
Is online borked again? I cant get into any matches.
>>584072629You can use both at level 15
>>584072546Yes, weapon damage scales with the plane stats. It has higher A2A so it does more.
>>584072629Check the new link in the OP
>>584072407>Get Chandelier after this>Oops all fighters!Actual retards
>>584073009nta but does increasing your plane's a2a/a2g bars with parts like increased ammo or faster lock-on increase damage too?
lol im flying a plane woooooosh
So i've only played 7 and 8 and i'm going to play the rest of the mainline games. Are any of the spinoffs worth playing?
>>584073083That works, the missiles seem much more worth.>>584072860Also affirmed me in this idea, thanks
railgun warning
When are we getting more advanced variants of the F-16 and Mig-29?
>>584073582Rafale already exists anon.
>>584073336X is pretty much on par with the PS2 games and is a must play if you're in the swing of playing AC games emulatedJoint Assault is X if the flight model sucked ass and the game didn't take place in Strangereal, do not recommend unless you really wanna run it co-op with someone through LAN emulation (because yes, the entire campaign is playable in co-op)Assault Horizon's only worthy contribution to the series was its music, one of the worst games in terms of gameplayAssault Horizon Legacy is a bizarre remake of Ace Combat 2 (and has nothing to do with the game it shares in title), it's fun but the 3DS Emulator is meh and getting it working can be a pain in the ass, but It's quite neat and fun
>>584073665>eurotrash
Do we have enough squadronlets here who want to start sharing scrambles/emergencies?I'm sick of soft-reseting 7 not-attackers vs. Alicorn
>>584074235No one here plays together
>>584073721I'll check out X and Horizon Legacy then. Cheers.
>>584074235Does being an attacker matter that much for alicorn? I feel like my gripen AGMs are just tickling it, where as with a fast turning typhoon I can just lay down MSL after MSL into it and avoid the respawn timer
>"Wings" is real now>— And so am I.https://youtu.be/FEUZwCiHPTw?t=33fuck...
>>584071084mig31 until the next thing with LAAMs
>>584073083nta but what link is that and does it explain how to level those up
>>584070774Swap Mihaly and Dision. Dision can be a cunt but his charisma legitimately let him form a continent wide uber terrorist group. Mihaly's an autist who sold the world in order to fly, and has the audacity to keep showing his face and talk big no matter how often you down him.
>>584074078Seethe
I got a Growler but I've never played Alicorn this is some bullshit
>>584074849>that teamYou were going to loose anyways
SASM seems to be the only good player killer SP at the moment.
>>584074849That is a great formation for this mission!
>>584075030kek I heard that clear as day
I don't remember people being this fucking stupid when it came to team comps in Infinity
>>584074443Try dropping SFFS on it and watch the damage burst. LASMs also work fine, unsurprisingly.
Im kind of surprised how shitty the replays are for being the 8th installment. You'd think they'd at least try to do vool Fallout-eqsue moments for the enemies you down at least. But it's like the worst angles ever.
>>584074842>absolute state of eurotrash
>>584075394Anything was fine for fighting Moby Dick,and you could not <<Delay the final attack!>> if you were in danger of failingAlso, ACO is ass, so some people probably haven't earned enough to buy anything good
>>584076097If you're bringing an F-22 to Chandelier I'm going to assume you have money
Why did they tell me my choice was to resupply or to help an allied nation and then not let me choose? Also i dont even know what we chose????
>>584075869Lmao
>>584076291The F-22's blurb was very clearly written by Lockheed
>Ping to attack enemy ace with QAAMs>all my allies run into him head-first and feed him 30k more points
>>584075394>niche title only fans played vs the fastest selling AC ever
>>584070504Cleared up some of the people who haven't played in quite a while, anyways, 6 new people can join so first come, first served.If it fills up I'm still side eyeing a couple of guys who are just about to get out of the comfort zone of my arbitrary activity standards so I can kick a couple of suspicious guys out if you ask nicely. Please don't join if you don't plan to stay for some time.
At least emote spam in the lobby is mildly entertaining for about 5 minutes
>>584076576I'll try to join later tonight.
I'm Dealer's Trump card... kyun~Why does nobody ship Ray x Dealer, anyways? Everything is Kate or Tasha, where are the deranged fujos? There is ABSOLUTELY room to ship Dealer with Ray
>>584075394Infinity didn't have novice controls.
>>584076668fuck off faggot
>>584076576Also if you plan to join put something in you player comment so I can identify you as a threadling.
>>584076576Hell yeah, sent a join request in
>>584076668Fujos don't play fighter jet games. I don't even think I've seen a vtumor play, other than Dealer's VA.
>>584076576Sending a request JAD's the name
>>584076871i saw a few hololive played it but i guess they were sponsored?
>Mission 20 with the RafaleI thought LAAMs would be nice against the B-2s but not really, though being able to swat Mirages and Berkuts from afar was nice. If the SACS guys were still around I think they might even give the Lux Lunae pause for how fanatical they are.
>>584075869wow you sure showed me. Are you 12 ?

Sure would have been nice if Cope at least said he would say hi to Baxter for the squad or something.
>>584076668fujos haven't settled on what dealer should look like yet. like how it took a while for long caster to be drawn as either a sentient hamburger or a chubby fella
>>584077816That's one way to do it but I'm not sure how many people you'll get by doing so, it's main utility is that every so often some guy will offer up to team up for an scramble/emergency sortie. I have seen some use it to find a group of reliably decent players for Warfare.

>>584076576Sent Request if room still available - ID starting with Magic
The SU-34 is such a floaty shitbox, how do you make it work as an attacker? Or just fly a multirole instead?
>>584074849It's because people are playing on Windows 10 when windows 11 is required.
>>584079445That's not the issue. Windows 10 and 11 are very similar OS-wise, the actual problem seems to be GPU and driver related.
>>584074394I literally just played an emergency sortie and some scrambles with buddies from the squadron.
>>584079000Sure, AC 3 was innovative and had a cool cyber story. But I think AC8 shows the limit of trying to force Strangereal to conform to 1980s dystopian fiction. ENSO isn't a landholding megacorp which rules in place of nations, and it'd be really silly for Strangereal to go down that route.
>>584079445unironically works on my Win10 machine
>>584079445I've been playing on W10 since launch with no issues, stop falling for Bamco's excuses for their incompetence
>>584079592Same. I have yet to have a crash, have an inferior CPU, and have an old graphics driver that isn't officially supported.It is a newer driver issue. They're just bad.
>>584079445Works on my machine, buddy.
>>584079550Not a great argument as we can safely assume none of us fell for the Win 11 jeet scam I'd know because I didn't and there's a high chance I just played with you
I don't understand how to tell something is a Resupply Target, is it specifically just chinooks?
why can't we have the CF-18
>>584070504Will Sotoans reach the meme status of the Belkans?
>>584079847chinooks and there are supply trucks too but they're impossible to tell apart from the other ground targets
>>584080045no because belkans are the antagonists of 8 too
HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THE BARREL ROLL MISSION WITHOUT FAILING
>>584079650Win10 here, I keep getting told to downgrade my drivers but game worked flawlessly. Can't say the same about MP connection though.>>584079847They should be bright red on the radar like the high value targets, otherwise you kinda have to remember that they give you stuff
>>584080045They already did.
>>584080084Which one?
>>584079916we don't need more hornets, especially not a pajeet one
>>584080228THE ONE WHERE I HAVE TO ESCORT SHIPS TO RECLAIM THEVE AND TASHA TELLS ME TO DO A BARREL ROLL
>LAAMboats in my team>they both get sub-20k score despite me targetting enemy aces like a spasticWhat the fuck are they doing? A comfy sightseeing trek across Waiapolo Mountains?
>>584077468God I wish Bamco made a new Ridge Racer. At least we have RAAAAVE RACER! From Arcade Archives this year.
>>584080658Oh, don't get distracted with the minor stuff, kill all targets and ignore the chaff if you're overwhelmed. That sounds obvious but here's a priority target list for you:1. Su-342. F-2A3. Mi-244. Mirage-20005. Anything elseAs long as you prioritize your targets you should be fine. Caveats to take into account:If Mi-24s get to be within 4000 meters of the LCACs they take priority spot 1.Once the railguns start targeting you it's better to fly around in circles looking for targets of opportunity than it is to focus on far away stuff because flying in a straight line will earn you a quick trip to hell.

>>584082731common japanese superstition
Are the top speed parts still the best ones for overall speed and acceleration like in 7 or did acceleration parts get buffed?
Ray is just on War Thunder rules and he's got a knack for pilot sniping
>>584083105Still better to stack top speed to raise the entire curve.
>>584083383Thanks buddy

Flanker or Berkut? I'm thinking Flanker for QAAMs over SAAMs, but then again, UGBs are probably better than RKTs.
>>584086668The berkut got it's maneuverability nerfed hard in 8
>>584086668I like the Berkut. It's a good multi-role.
>>584086560God please do not let the morganfags get their hands on this
>>584086828It only works in Offline mode.
>>584086726Yeah, looking at the stat sheet it's identical to the Flanker save for having one extra point of speed.>>584086765Is it worth dealing with SAAMs instead of QAAMs though?
>>584086726It's actually pretty good at low speed, but its mobility fucking TANKS at high speed.
It's so cool that allied ships can intercept enemy missiles for you.
>>584086882>Is it worth dealing with SAAMs instead of QAAMs though?I dunno, it depends on the mission type. I got used to using SAAMs, and they were useful against Shadows that you can snipe from long range.
>>584086960Forgot to specify, I'm asking about Online, not the campaign.
>>584086880That's a relief, cool mod anyways.
>>584086668Berkut if you mainly play assault, Flanker-D if you want something for warfare, emergency sorties and scrambles.
>>584086882SAAMs are pretty cracked, as long as you maintain lock they will hit their target.
>>584086951Thank god allies are useful this time.
>>584087168For now I mainly prefer assault, but I like all four and would prefer to be effective everywhere. Is there a particular reason why one is better than the other for each mode?>>584087231They do occasionally miss in my experience so far, but I haven't used QAAMs yet to compare. Are QAAMs nerfed compared to ACI and 7?
>>584087530>Are QAAMs nerfed compared to ACI and 7?I will post it again and again until it stops making me smile
It would have been nice to have the sotoan grasslands with all the spirit birds as a free flight mission
>>584087602your webm is bork
>>584087749nah 4chin just refused to index it for a bit i thinkit only played for me now, the poster, as well
>>584087749no u
>>584087798ah, yep, works, disregardalso i wish it worked that well in MP without IEWS
>>584087602That is a compelling argument, but does it work like that in online?
>>584087431>ground SAM is annoying>savian mercenaries maintain a plain on your taint at all times>collateral damage to reward efficiency when dealing with large targetseverythings so much better, especially playing zero inbetween AC8 sessions
>>584087979Only if someone pops ECM+ESM or IEWS.
>>584087979sort of? with t2 upgrades it will have similar range and lifetime but players are generally not lazily flying the way the AI does in campaign and will just high G turn until it burns outuntil someone growls at itthen yes
Why the genuine fuck does the F16 handle like it's supposed to while the F2 is even more of a fucking brick than the starter Hormet?
>>584087530SAAMs have about the same homing as QAAMs while faster and longer ranged but are not fire and forget like QAAMs and their wide lock on angle
I want to play AC5 againI don't even want a AC3 remake, just port that shit so I can experience it raw (apparently the jap version is canon but unavailable for westerners)
>>584087530The 33's generally better for PvP due to the loadout, and if it's good for PvP then it's excellent for scrambles. Rockets are also generally better for emergency sorties due to their nature of being capable to make deal higher damage to a single target. On the other hand the Berkut's range combined with the UGBs for dealing with clustered targets allow it to quickly work through the enemy forces in assault and in assault moving from one bunch of targets to the next to gather as much score as possible is the name of the game.
>>584088079because the latter is an attacker and project aces thought appropriate to make most low tier attackers bricks
>>584088079because its red so it gets a mandatory mobility debuff
>>584087979lol no
>>584088079Probably because it kept the same F-16 engine (light fighter btw) while being fat as fuck and carrying even more weapons than an F-16. In conclusion because the japanese are retarded.
Is there an updated version of this with the morgan, nightmare, barricader, and growler?

It's common courtesy to spoil shit for a while. Not that the filthy browns that make up the majority of posters on 4chan nowadays would care.

>>584089046I wake up and check twitters every day for new bees for my album
I want to do the plane restriction type medal, ew to start.But when I restart the campaign, it doesn't choose the type of planeShould I replay those missions, or restarting the campaign was a mistake?
FUCK I WANT THAT FUCKING THEVE JACKET FUCK!Has there been any merchandise out for AC8 either way?
How do I get Mission 25's medal?
So they have a kitchenette in the Fullback, right?Do they have a toilet too or do they just like piss in the sink or shit out the bomb bay or something.
>>584089046Who makes these
>>584089243yeah the full back has a 3rd seat/toilet where the one of the 2 side-by-side pilots can fuck off and go take a shit in the back or take a nap during long missionsAll this in a plane that can PSM

>>584090498It was the first mission I replayed twice and I was not disappointed. We need more enemy pilots who suffer, and not just in the Killed Aces gallery.AC9 better have surviving pilots curse our name if they survive, and get rounded up like vermin if they get shot down.
Can't wait to play Ace Combat Zero 2 where you play as a Savian Mercenary and have to prop up the economy of your newly stablished break away nation. But for some reason the dialogue system is completely gone until in the final mission where you get to say no and everyone's disappointed or if you press the left arrow you get to say the iconic line which will be used as a Savian war cry for generations to come.

Wow scramble is certainly a game mode!, how hard is it to just repurpose ac zeros gauntlet mission?
>>584091402>WHY WAS NONE OF THIS IN THE GAME?because you could probably fill in the blanks yourself?Good worlds dont need to be fleshed outand im not saying the cryptic vague writing of souls is a good example, but enough is provided in AC8 imo that corroborrates with the chatteror in shark's case>meh my kid goes to school here and we didnt feel like moving
>>584091402Because the game starts when your side is literally on its last legs and its last holdout is about to be mercy-bombed into oblivion.
>>584091402Could be saving it for a DLC set at the start of the war when we see how Cope became Wings
>>584091525>because you could probably fill in the blanks yourself?nah man, the gap between what we're given in the game and what's in the lore is way too big>and im not saying the cryptic vague writing of souls is a good examplethat was honestly the comparison that I was thinking of makingthe lore in AC8 isn't quite that cryptic, but it's just as obscured>>584091578>Because the game starts when your side is literally on its last legs and its last holdout is about to be mercy-bombed into oblivion.I am a lore enjoyera certified context aficionado just because "we're good, they're bad, go shoot" is sufficient to set us off in the right direction doesn't mean that it's sufficient to tell a meaningful storythe part that I'm lamenting most is that some of this stuff could have been more meaningful than it seemed if they'd just shared the information that made it meaningful, which they already had, but they just hid it in a book that most players won't see
>>584070786What he does get is pretty cool though.
>>584070786>was some dude who was only good at running away>meanwhile (you) are a death angel in the skies>”wow dude youre nearly as good as cope :) “Feels really odd
>>584091827>that was honestly the comparison that I was thinking of makingthe lore in AC8 isn't quite that cryptic, but it's just as obscuredits been 7 years since the last ace combat, on some level im going to assume they were trying to be accessible to newbies
>>584091932>its been 7 years since the last ace combat, on some level im going to assume they were trying to be accessible to newbiesyou mean like they were worried about giving new players too much information and scaring them off?that could've been their motivationI just think that players (and fans of fiction in general) are way smarter and way more willing to engage with stuff in the fiction's world than devs / writers / publishers / etc. seem to think that they areand the ones who really don't want to hear about it will just skip the cutscene anywaygive people more and they can choose how much to engage withgive them less and there's no option to learn more, because it's just not there
>>584091402>WHY WAS NONE OF THIS IN THE GAME?Because it's unnecessary. Most people will either not give a shit or fill in the blanks with their own inferences. Those that want all the details will go out of their way to find them. You don't need to go into detail (detail that your average player will quickly bore of because expositing background lore does get boring) in order to get across the narrative. AC8 is first and foremost a character story focused on Joker squad anyways.
>>584088673Remove the QAAMs, replace it with defensive drones. Drones now have 2 modes, depending on which SPW you chose, Intercept mode which will have them shoot at whatever is behind you inside your area of effect, be it plane or missile, and attack mode which will send drones to attack whatever you're focusing on as long as it is within 5000 meters. Instead of one drone used being one charge lost it will work as ESM/ECM/IEWS and one charge will represent 30 seconds of your drones operating. If you take both offensive and defensive drones ammo will be reduced by 30% instead of 50% like normal when using 2 SPW but you'll only have 2 drones doing one task instead of 4 as usual.
What's the deal with the missing number emblems in online mode? Some are obvious but 24? 31? 51???
>>584089894Rafale M is currently the best plane in the game due to the LAAM/LACM meta. Unintentional or not long range spamming is better than dogfighting by miles.
>>584092171>Most people will either not give a shit or fill in the blanks with their own inferences.Why do you think that people even bother to tell stories, then?
>>584092334>But what was Aragorn's tax policy?

>>584091219lmao
>>584092398Actually, Aragorn did have a tax policy and it was pretty generous.Cersei's tax policy, however, isn't mentioned.
>>58409222424 and 31 at least have media properties attached to them but that's a wild stretch. I have no idea what makes those three not worth whatever headache was on the dev's mind.
>>584092398I can't tell if you're being dishonest or if you're just retarded.
>>584091924After the whole 'Cope hoax' came out to public view I expected Ray to make an actual name for himself as his own pilot, but they still kept up with the Rex slash Wings of Theve bullshit. All the jacking off Cope gets I really did not understand considering that by the end of the game even fucking Tasha gets actual kills when he didn't>oh but he was so good at manouveringthen why did he get shot down?
>>584092724>After the whole 'Cope hoax' came out to public view I expected Ray to make an actual name for himself as his own pilot, but they still kept up with the Rex slash Wings of Theve bullshit.

>>584092334Just because you're an autist doesn't mean everyone is. I've read what you're referring to and appreciate the extra detail and backstory, but AC8s narrative doesn't need it and the average player doesn't care.
I wonder why did Baxter choose Coster over Tasha to be our wingman, he was about to give her the role but quickly reconsidered before dying.
kek
>>584092724>then why did he get shot down?He was shot down by the best pilot in the Sotoan air force were you even paying attention you fuckwit? I'm sick of you niggers making posts that boil down to "I didn't pay attention and I'm dumb as fuck"
>>584092724>>584092773I honestly think that they were trying to juggle too many subplots at once (too many for them, anyway) and kind of forgot about how this relationship should've changed over time.
>>584092948For me its gotta be ST-3200003...
Are there titles for milestones beyond 50 sorties or is it just the one?
>>584092942Maybe he considered that anyone being Ray's wingman is doomed to get splashed while trying to match his moves, and since she's a kiddo doing school work he wanted to spare her the death>>584092958That's cool and all but you're completely ignoring the point that they're still jerking him off halfway through the game despite it being a perfect point to turn the 'Wings of Theve' into something else, much like Razgriz became a thing or half of spares became StridersCope's whole shtick isn't a bad one but I feel like the world-wide reveal of it being a fake was a set-up for different callsign and myth (a real one this time) to be made that just never happened
>>584092958>WHAAAAAAATTTTT???? You have QUESTIONS??? You want to talk about stuff in the GAME??? You're making COMPARISONS instead of just accepting whatever you were TOLD????? What are you, a NIIIIIGGGGGEEERRRRRR????go away

>>584092942Project Aces remembered they didn’t give anything to Coster since mission 7 or 8
https://x.com/akisyameeee/status/2109138393162739754
>>584093131Supposedly at 500Note some of the stuff on this website isn't in the game, namely the last 2 plane abilities for each plane, so take this with a grain of salt. I can verify that the 150 sortie milestone and reward exist, but I can't verify if the 500 does
>>584092942Coster's the better wingman. He's spent the whole war watching Tasha's back and proved to be outstanding at it. Who better to have Rex's six?
>>584093512>nickname you get for 500 gripen sorties is just "gripen master"what's the joke here? it can't be that lame
>>584093512>you still alivefuark...
>>584093512>500 sortiesBoy they really are hoping for people to be playing this for a while huh. Especially if the abilities thing is hinting at future level increases (if it wasn't just scrapped ideas anyway)
>>584091924>>584091924Anon, they say "NOT like cope", as in you actually fight back instead of running away. They clarify this early as mission fucking 3.
>>584093674The multiplayer was definitely overseen by someone who just didn't give a fuck. This could've been the one AC game where we got an innovative multiplayer mode so we could actually try something new.
>>584093512>SU-34 500 is Poisonous PlatypusWhat?
>win coop warfare challenge at 2/3 >lose 6 matches in a row with an over 100k point difference every timegreat
>>584093868it kind of looks like one with the wider cockpitI always though of it as a duck though
>>584093804The lobby itself is hilarious when you consider it being designed by japanese men in suits marking checkmarks on a list>Oh and make sure you can jump in this one toolike I feel if they just did AC7 lobby style the multiplayer could've been more fleshed out but instead we get this soulless hangar where uhh where uhhmm you can watch pre-recoreded dev gameplays doing Shilage Castle on a big screen I guess
>>584093804>Screen doesn't actually do what it's supposed to do and just plays pre-recordings instead of ongoing games>Multiple merchants in "coming soon" mode>That one display area in the corner that's probably for leaderboards>Most of the missions just being AC7 ports (I have no issue with this but it *is* the bulk of them)I kinda get the impression the Online is just outright unfinished but I suppose we'll see how serious they are about adding to it. I'm curious about the upcoming update if nothing else
>>584093667yo buddy, there's other planes you know?
>>584093142>a perfect point to turn the 'Wings of Theve' into something else, much like Razgriz became a thing or half of spares became Striders>Cope's whole shtick isn't a bad one but I feel like the world-wide reveal of it being a fake was a set-up for different callsign and myth (a real one this time) to be made that just never happenedI think they wanted Cope / Wings to be an iconic hero whose perception gets set at some point and then never really changes after that point, like with Batman or something. It works better for the propaganda icon that they wanted him to be, of course. But the problem with an "iconic character" (not just meaning that "a character that's famous," but in the literary sense of the term) is that they never change. Like how Batman is basically always the same character. But the game shows us a lot of change.In the game, they spent very little time telling us about how Wings is so great, immediately had Cope undercut it by tell us "yeah uh I actually kinda suck" as soon as we jumped in his backseat, spent the entire rest of the game letting the player be awesome and build up their own reputation... but then never really reconciled the crazy imbalance that they'd made between the two reputations.

>wanna fly plens>already S ranked Ace>online is the blandest shit everWhen do you think the first event will happen? I don't mind the grind, I'm not trying to max everything out instantly, but there's no excitement to be had. Gameplay is fun, but It's also a very expected, short match. And then basically no rewards lmao. Do supply tickets even drop or is it always combat XP usb drives that no one needs because you have to play so much you level the planes anyway/get blocked from levelling by blueprints. That was rambling but I'm tired.

>>584093512>>584093667You can check unowned nicknames so it's easy to confirm they do.We can't be entirely sure the challenge is 500 sorties but I think it's reasonable to assume the site is accurate.
>>584095017that's more flight time than russian, chinese, german, and indian air forces get yearly
>>584094894There's a patch on the 13th. There's still like 3 vendors that don't do anything yet too.
>>584091402i honestly agree with the general sentiment but honestly with the cutscene direction we got, i can't see them gracefully introducing any of this without doubling the amount of already hefty cinematics as is. the return of AC0 style detailed assault records is a good start for lore tidbits at least
>>584095243and what would they even sell? only think that comes to mind some ranking award slop if they introduce competitive matchmaking

>>584095264>with the cutscene direction we got, i can't see them gracefully introducing any of this without doubling the amount of already hefty cinematics as iseven when they tried to give us a lore dump with that bizarre OBC broadcast, they made it incredibly slow and presented very little information at about an elementary-school levelit's fine for them to have slow scenes when we're just having normal experiences onboard a ship and getting to know our squadmates, but they really needed to mix in some other kinds of scenes that presented information more quicklylike, even in AC5, during the briefings, they did a great job of showing us stuff like the bigger picture of the war in a matter of seconds by just jumping from one map to another to give us glimpses of the front lines and throwing in one or two sentences about what's going on out thereI'm not asking for an hour-long college course between missions, just mention some stuff about what's going on in the war more broadly

>>584095950You can tell that was a top down exec mandate.I think the whole multiplayer was put in to justify that single cash shop.
>>584095894I dunno man, I was more freaked out by how shadow 22 could've recognized Rex as Cope. He just keeps staring at you during the cutscene. There's so many fakeouts in this fucking story, I thought he was gonna hold Rex up by the neck like Vegeta all "you are not the wings of theve, I know his face".That scene freaked me the fuck out.

>>584095656It does work better in 2d anime style
Doing my second run and man, I think missions 23 through 25 made me fall in love with the F-15J. Carries a fuckton of UGBs to destroy any ground targets, carries a healthy amount of HCAAs to toss at Shadows, and is fast and turns good enough to dogfight well. Shame that with how Online's balanced a Level 20 F-15J will have worse UGBs than a Level 20 F-4E, which hurts its "do-everything" potential, and online gameplay emphasizes range so a LAAM/LACM Rafale would be more consistent.

Just got my first C in years. I'm assuming I didn't down Pasternak fast enough in mission 13.
>>584099460I applied around 30min ago and it was at 48/50
Just finished Ace Combat Zero for the first time.It was mid. The only somewhat memorable missions were the ones in B7R. The two superweapons and the tunnel run were decent but nothing mindblowing. Even the final battle with Pixy was kinda boring. At least he doesn't cheat like Topkek or Mihaly.Now for my ultimate controversial take: Pixy was a lame buddy. The two of you barely go through anything interesting together so there's no real bond when he's all "MAN, I'M SAD" and leaves. PJ was lame but at least had some personality and was skilled enough to keep up with Cipher all the way to the end, he had potential to be a good buddy.
>>584100661Completion time doesn't matter in games prior to 7, you just didn't kill a lot of things. Pasternak's a pain in the ass to S-Rank though because you gotta kill a couple dozen of his drones on top of full clearing the operations of your choice.

Man. What other games are there to look forward to. AC8 was the huge one for me.If they announce an armored core vii before the end of the year then thus might be an amazing year for videogames.
>>584100976Oh so that's what it was. My overall score ended up being A. I got S on all of the objectives and C on Pasternak in Phase 2.

>>584101681its a programming thing and not an exclusivity thing? its been a frankly packed year and>i intend to play fatal frame for spooptober>still need to get through onimusha at some point
The Fort Grays Base - Apocalypse Now subplot really outstayed its welcome. It could've been limited to one mission, and it wouldn't have changed anything.
>Savia has an entire Kuznetsov for their mercI don't know what's worse. The carrier being so cheap a group of mercenaries can buy one, or the country being so entrenched in mercenaries as economic export that their navy warships can be rented
>>584101808There's no exclusivity contract, it's probably easier to get it running on whatever they have on hand now with an specific set of parts and fine tune optimization for those, but also if you release it years later on PC, those who compromised and bought it on PS5 or Xbox whatever might be tempted to buy it again.
>>584101950It would be cool if we played as Savians for the next game. Got that Area 88 vibe going.

>>584103590There's definitely some secondary dialogue during Rocky Island where it's mentioned. I couldn't quote you the exact line though.
>>584103682Aw man, I liked my Luxemburg sized Diamond Dogs idea better
Does anyone know if "Surface Target ID accelerator" improves the reload speed of LACMs? It says that it improves the reload time of air to ground missile weapons. That same terminology is used for the "reinforced mount (air to ground msl)", and it increases my LACM supply. But the separate part "long range terrain scan accelerator" specifically calls out LACM reload speed, so I'm not sure if I'm getting fucked over by localization.
>>584097937What's hcaa good for? Forcing shadows to pop flare and turn?

>2 barricaders in enemy teamIs there something more unfun in this game
I just tried the mod that made missile tracking more realistic.It makes the game insanely easy and boring...I'm sorry I suggested that higher realism would make the game more fun.But I still think some systems are simplified too hard

>>584104648I would guess whatever the last set of rank up planes cost.
>>584104363DO NOT BADMOUTH MY GOAT YOU SOTOAN WRENCH
>>584104648Since the F-14 is 5€, I would assume the BP planes to be at least that, so my guess is like 7,50€.Which means it's cheaper to not buy the battlepussy.
>>584104346realistic missile tracking makes sense with realistic missile payloads.
A medal for doing the entire campaign in cockpit mode would be cool

It's kind of weird that Osea and Yuktobania don't have indigenous superfighters despite being the canon superpowers, even Estovakia built one

>No Lux Lunae 66th, 88th, 110th, 130th or 170th UnitDLC? F-36 shadows doko?
>>584108325Only way a morgan is eating a Felon is if the morgan is at 20 and the felon is at like 3. Also Morgan gets cheap kills with TLS. They really need to gut the range on it or make it weak as shit like in 7.
>>584108475Not taking into account on someone who really likes the Morgan and is a skilled pilot with it? Also PSM spam is still a thing
>>584108325Looking forward to seeing you on the battleground then, buddy.>>584108475A decent skilled morgan player will shit on the average SU-57 any day desu. The SU just has better handling characteristics. Morgan is probably the best lobby stomper which is why I fully commit killing them whenever I see one. It's either an absolute dogshit player or it's going to dominate the lobby if left unchecked.
Someone please post video examples of PSM spam being actually useful in a PVP setting. I just don't understand.
>Davenport Stadium
>>584108771You're turnfighting and you've got the advantage (Behind someone) but you just can't get your nose in for a gun. Using PSM there allows you to get the AoA to secure a gun kill.Same applies to TLS with the morgan, that's what makes PSM strong on it

how do i triforce?
>>584111242The one thing I like about SCRAMBLE is that the AI always dodges LAAMs and SAAMs, so you actually have time to slap some QAAMs or SASMs into them.
>>584109992
>>584111043It would depend on how much of a bonus each provides, but I still feel like guidance should be the best bet. If a SASM has a bigger airburst radius, then that only helps it deal damage with near misses that it would have otherwise not dealt damage on.But if a SASM tracks targets better overall, then that helps it turn tight enough to get still get airburst damage with near misses that it would have otherwise missed, but the better turning also helps it get direct hits that it would have otherwise missed, too. The bigger radius would have to be huge in order for it to provide more of a benefit than the improved guidance would (or, alternatively, the guidance improvement would have to be tiny).

Dint the Sotoans get off easy in the post-war cutscenes? They rubbed every single offense up-to Enso and acted like victims when they've been straight-up nuking entire cities/committing war-crimes throughout the campaign.

>>584112524Enso would probably purchase the radiation cleaning contractor anyway to get in there.>>584112610I think it's because FCU is pretty toothless despite the victory. If they demand more and Sotoa just says no, what are they going to do? Nobody in FCU wants to wage more war for better terms and if they decide to keep the war going, chances are they'll have even more seperatists and it will lead to internal conflicts.

So why is extended bomb rack so fucking insanely strong in SP but complete garbage in MP? In SP it often doubles your UGB capacity when taking multiple SPWs, in MP it adds like 6 bombs, even the lvl 2 part.
>>584112708They nuke a single major population center at least 5 times, then nuke another random city because the population didn't want to be murdered, they nearly destroy the space elevator and to top it all off, their pilots regularly commit war crimes for sport.I was super disappointed that we didn't get the chance to invade them back. All the politicians in charge of sotoa are probably still in charge.
>>584113043I struggle to even use all my SPW weapon ammo in 6 minutes, dunno why I'd need more.
>>584113097>All the politicians in charge of sotoa are probably still in charge.Pretty sure I killed them while they were trying to get away on an osprey.
>>584113043Also, why are some parts really good in the campaign and then complete ass online? Like LRES makes your gun into a total machine of death in SP but even LRES 2 is worse than the standard campaign-only LRES, and it has to compete for 3-4 arms slots instead of 6-7. >>584113116Yeah, once you get a few levels on the plane you get so much base capacity that these parts do nothing.
>>584113097Agreed. As cool as their aesthetics were, they themselves were degenerate parachute popping horsefuckers that deserved to be reduced to life as diaspora.
>>584112708>>584112795They're acting as if Enso set them up to be le big bad when they would've pulled all the shit they did regardless. It makes no sense for the narrative to victimize such an oppressive/inhuman nation who'd do it all again.Total Sotoan Death,
Anyone else enjoy scrolling through the Lux Lunae emblems in the menu for the cool moon effect? Really tickles my 'tism.
>>584113097my theory is that the FCU was so devastated by the war that, even though they were nominally winning by the end, they were too weak to pursue Sotoa any more than they did with our attack on that midway island and then on the Fatsia megafloat
>>584112445I assumed the FCU/international coalition that quarantines the area and secures the perimeter would be able to get to any evidence and Enso wouldn't be able to since it'd become an exclusion zone and any activity would be heavily monitored, like Fukushima. Also Tewy is sort of a bad person and genuinely wanted the FCU destroyed
>>584113379I would buy that. But the game doesn't make that distinction.

>>584113097>>584113379Maybe this is why they made Rex a WSO, He would invade Sotoan airspace and kill their sheep just for the love of the game.

>>584113514The MiG-29 is sex and you cannot tell me otherwise.
>>584113514Why hasn't the Mig-23 shown up anywhere? If the shitbox 21 can be in, there's no reason they can't do the same for its marginally less retarded cousin.
>>584113514How odd, this image does not seem to include a single Flanker. Is it perhaps because the Flanker was undefeated in Air to Air combat before the great chimpout in Ukraine?
>>584113514Man, this pic just might be older than a lot of users on 4chins.
>>584113763Did the Flanker ever get into a2a combat (or any real combat that wasn't bombing Syrian civilians) before Ukraine?
>>584113763>Air to Air combat before the great chimpout in UkraineWhich would be by another flanker in almost every situation.
>>584113856ethiopian flankers saw some action I believe
>>584113506he's held a grudge against sheep ever since that one devastated him with a surprise attack
>>584113514Does the Kuwait friendly fire count as Eagle losses
>>584113514I'm gonna have sex with the MiG-29 AND with F-14D.
>>584113514you gotta update the F-15 losses, sadly
>>584113514hey why isn't the hornet listed just curious haha
>>584113514
>>584114107100:100 but both sides are just crashes
>>584113856Ethiopian flankers shot down some Eritrean Fulcrums. Ethiopia claims it shot down 7 Fulcrums and then another An-26 cargo craft in a later unrelated conflict.>>584113886Pretty much. Russia isn't really using their Fulcrums in Ukraine and they've been very scared of sending the Felons in, so it's been nothing but Flankers shooting at eachother and dodging SAMs.
>>584114123>Su-57>Bright futureOh nooo
>>584114168>US navy actively using hornets in ASW dipping radars
>>584114168how many of those were with female pilots?
TLS is as obnoxious as EML used to be in 7, mostly because it has almost the same characteristics.
>>584114285what's even worse is thez slight lag that makes sure you take at least 2 ticks before you realise you're getting hit
>>584114208>and they've been very scared of sending the Felons inNah, so far they're lobbing cruise missiles and long-range AAMs at best. Only instance of it being over Ukrainian territory is S-70 shooting down.
>>584114346I love how there's no region lock on matchmaking Getting single frame QAAM'd or lasered like it's mordhau never gets old
>>584114123Superb reaction image. I can tell whoever made this was very salty.

>just spam high g turn towards the arrow and spam missiles whenever you see the red markThis was my first ac8 and i cleared the campaign on veteran with this but i dont think youre supposed to dogfight like that. Is there some strategy behind dogfighting?
>>584114462it was probably made by glavset all things considered
>>584114942That's litteraly all it is, if you can turn or stall earlier you lose
So i've been looking through the datamined parts stats and it seems I've been building everything wrong.NGHPC is a god-tier part in SP as it adds 150kph to your top speed which also improves your accel. In online NGHPC II only adds 40kph. Seems it would be better to just run BROS for +31kph and also get +15% accel. If you stack NGHPC II, BROS, and the Speed ability on the Su-34 you only get 101kph extra top speed, less than just standard NGHPC gets you in campaign.Also the ammo counts are fucking stupid. At level 20 you're getting nearly 200 standard missiles, an amount you could never ever spend in these short matches, while still only getting around 300-400 gun AMMO, which you absolutely can spend, especially in Emergency sorties.
>>584110506Yeah it work thanks a lot!
>>584114942Hard enemy AI fighters either wants to do aggressive loop-de-loop turnfights with you to get behind you or "chase me" patterns where they try to get distance and you put missiles into their back as they're flying awayFodder AI fighters behave like fish in an aquarium just sort of floating around listlessly unless you get close
>>584092942Coster is the only one who can keep up with Rex aside maybe his Queen. Coster was the one with Cope when he got shot down and lived so he's a great Ace.That and the whole Tasha doesn't have a rank to fly with Rex post game.

I'm planning on 100%ing the campaign before touching multiplayer, am I missing out on anything important?
>>584116860Not really, every lobby is plagued by maxed endgame shit so you won't have fun either way
>>584116860You might have less time if you care about the battlepass? Nothin special really going on in mp
>>584116963That's par the course i was just going to suffer through it like i did in 7>>584117003Is there anything big in terms of FOMO on there or is it all just cosmetics? I only care about my planefu and iirc it's quite an early unlock.
oh that was cute, chandelier flashbackKate and Rex changing to King flight in the post-marriage epilogue was also cutenow I get to do ace cleanup and S-rank malding
Can you rebind keyboard control for the Zero port? I edited what I thought was the config file and it didn't do anything
>>584116653>>The San Salvacion port captain that rejected the Endurance is canonically the narrator kid from 4cite your source
>>584117217Don't think so. You can use whatever proprietary software your keyboard uses. Alternatively, you'd have to look for some 3rd party software that allows to bind keys to other keys etc.
>>584117076There are plane upgrade items that are annoying to farm.There are daily missions to play one round of coop and one round of pvp, you should probably do them. Two games a day isn't much. They're worth one step on the season pass each day (plus what you get for playing) so they add up.
>>584117332I'll stick to emulators then and hope one day they'll unfuck the Steam launcher
every match I play makes me wish they nerf LAAMboats harder and harder
>Squad says bring a clover for good luck>Closest thing we have is Baxter's emblemIt'll do I guess.
>>584117810The day of the rake tuesday brother, keep the faith.
>>584117076>FOMOgeneral blueprints are capped to 5 per day so the longer you wait the less you will have, and they are required to uncap planes
Do your allies actually ever shoot anything down??? Holy shit useless retards.
Bros i crashed so many times on mission 27
>>584117956>general blueprints are capped to 5 per dayWhat the hell that's gay as fuck, I wanted to just play the campaign fully but now I gotta do this shit or im forever fucked?
>>584117810i'll take LAAMboats over EW niggers tyvm
>>584117975Have you been giving any orders or buying them any planes
There’s a rumor going around that Chengdu agreed to license the Chinaplanes to PA but the CCP said no
>>584118227Not surprising that China wouldn't want to help Japan make money or gain cultural prominence, no matter how small of a drop in the bucket it might be.
>>584117997It depends on how you play. If you're just logging in for the dailies and want to max out a few planes you really like then you'll be mostly capped by ZOLL(money), not the golden goy tickets.If you wanna grind it out and get multiple high-end planes upgraded then you're really going to need the tickets, as a single high-end plane takes 60 of those motherfuckers to upgrade.I've mostly been playing a bit, sharing emergency sorties and scrambles with the buddies in the squadron, and slowly ranking up so I can't even buy those high-end planes yet. The main thing stopping me from maxing my planes is just lack of money.
>>584118227Rumors...
>>584118227My autism won't let the CCP acronym stand, it's CPC. It's always been CPC, CCP is just some weird attempt to make it sound more like CCCP
>>584118227Wouldn't be surprised, I remember reading that one of the major Chinese contractors actually approached PA first.I honestly believe it was the fallout surrounding the most recent Japanese election desu
>no AC9 confirmation yetit's so over
>>584118505They're just getting started milking online
Difficulty level... 3?
>>584118562Do you get better rewards at higher difficulties or what
>>584117997It's pretty bullshit. You can get some from challenges and the season pass but once they run out the only way to get more is from raids. And not only are they capped at 5 per day, but they spawn randomly so if the game doesn't feel like giving you any then haha no progress for you.By default planes are capped at level 5, you can upgrade them three times to increase the cap to 10/15/20. Low tier planes require 10 special blueprints for the final upgrade, mid tiers need 10 for the second upgrade and 20 for the last, high tier need 10/20/30. So if you're relying only on raids then a high tier plane will take twelve days to get enough even if you hit the blueprint cap each day.
>>584118562is that tied to plane tier? i've got nothing but 1s but i've only flown low tier planes despite being high levels
>>584101669>A>FUCKING>RAMP
>>584118612>>584118820I got MVP and around 3600 ZOLL, which is a lot for Co-Op warfare without rewards contracts. You also get an absolute FUCKTON of points for killing ships on 3 stars.Not sure if it's tied to planes since you get the difficulty chosen before you even select a plane.
>>584113514now compare the price of a fishbed to a phantom
>>584118981Gloveless hand holding in the cockpit of King 1
Thanks for believing in me /aceg/. SASM really are nasty.
>>584119627You just barely made it. It's probably better to focus on farming score in part 1 so you aren't as reliant on the fuckhuge time bonus.
the fun part is that LAAM get insane turning from homing kicking in 2 seconds after launch
>>584119748I fucked up 2(two) refuellings by accidentally taking SOD due to button mashing and honestly thought I wouldn't make it
>>584119897Careful with thati softlocked myself mashing too fast and had to restart the game.Was stuck outside of the menu and would'nt takeoff
>>584114937>I like Japanese planes.But the ATD-0 only appeared in Infinity...
>Literally the entire team is at 3 starsThese lvl 3 missions let you rack up a seriously stupid amount of points.
>>584118612It barely makes a difference in coop, since this is difficulty 3 and it's still tiny compared to everything else. I'm pretty sure warfare is the same but I can't be bothered confirming right now.
>>584117997You're fine. You get plenty of them to upgrade your planefu by just doing basic shit. You don't have to care about specifically grinding them unless you want to max out like 5 planes in one season.
>>584120772It's way more fun though. Seems to have more targets and tougher targets so you don't have 8 players fighting over very few targets and stealing eachothers kills all the time.
>>584119208I regularly get 3200 zollars at difficulty 1 when I mvp, that doesn't seem like that big of a difference.
Any progress on custom skin mods?
>>584121043They are tougher but there still aren't anywhere near enough for eight people, especially since it only seems to pick difficulty 3 when people have high tier planes.The best games are still when it can't find people so you get to play with six/four. I wish there was an option to queue for four people and get it every time, I'd never pick anything else. Except raids.
MY BLUE SKY HOME
Was Rex onto Cope being Sotoan from the start? He clearly has an odd enough reaction to Cope's Sotoan greeting that Cope has to explain
>>584120772warfare is better for zoll but you usually finish assault faster so it might even out
>>584121384It was just the regular 'tism of rex that made Cope explain.>Why is he looking at me like that?>Is he not going to shake my hand?>Oh shit, is it because he could tell?Meanwhile Rex>Huh those clouds in the distance look really pretty.
>>584121164But difficulty is picked before you even select a plane.... does the game just look through your hangar?If I wanted diff 3 to pop every time would it be better to just fill 4 slots with Morgans and then set up my A2G and A2A planes in the last 2 slots?
>>584121563>Implying Rex isn't checking if he's a Belk*nNever ever pretend there isn't a Belk*n hiding within ranks.
I need china to make a gacha acecombatlike with similar production quality to where winds meet.
I need you to never post again
I need you
I need Nastya
I feel the need
>>584123123the need to shit
I've only been getting difficulty 2 and 3 today. I used the morgan for the over 1500 challenge and left it in my hangar, that might explain why.Also diff 3 in warfare is great for zoll gains. Sure, you can get 100k on diff 1 and 2 if you're left completely alone but on diff 3 I regularly see multiple players on a team exceed 100k which means everyone is getting really good rewards from the score bonus. If you get a perfect match and get over 200k points you can ever cross 4000 zollars gained.
I fully approve of basically everyone meming Baxter into God's chosen racist
Just finished the game. Dealer is honestly my favorite AWACS in this series. May be recency bias but I really did enjoy his character.
So which mission is the best mission?Okay you can pick 3.
>>584123907Mission 19. The backdrop of the battleship crew being boiled alive was quite the narrative piece.
>>584106872She has those eyes that tell me she breaks into Rex's quarters regularly to sniff his underwear
>>584124272But not in a sexual way. It’s more of a “I need to get as much of him inside me as possible so I can become a mute psychopath Ace via osmosis”
>get in PvP for my daily with a lvl 10 flanker>go up against a growler and an EA-36Alright, thanks matchmaking.No i couldn't get a missile in, thanks for asking.
>only 94% of players beat the prolonged>6% of players fail at completing a cutscene
>>584124545Just got the Growler and saw it's 50 games to the next level. I'm busy for the next two weeks so I'll come back and see nothing but EA-36's at that point.
>>584124756>42.9% of players best mission 30>42.8% of players completed the campaign
>>584124545The Growler probably wasn't the problem given that it needs to have its level cap completely unlocked to get ECM, which is sixty blueprints. Barricaders getting IEWS in the first slot so they can start spamming it instantly is what kills warfare.
>>58412390728 is probably the best mission in the series tbqh
Can you still fail a mission if you cross the "off course" borders after "accomplishing mission"?
>>584124545Gun cares not for locks.
>>584124906I got SASMs shoved so far up my ass i could see the unit number. Fat chance trying to outurn the AoE missile. Nevermind the fact that my turning plane gets outturned but every motherfucker around.I have skill issues but PvP just makes the balance issues glaring. >>584125214The situation doesnt happen in a vacuum. Hope that helps.
>>584123907https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6gVNCtNEr8It's too soon for 7 nostalgia baiting with the space elevator levels. But this one with the 04 & 5 throwback at once worked on me.
>>584112445My theory is that as much as she said she wanted to expose Enso she was also mad about losing the war and just wanted to make sure the FCU would have a permanent wound to seethe over by making their capital and uninhabitable wasteland. If you've noticed the Sotoans are petty and vindictive as fuck
>>58412390728 enjoyer reporting ini also like 25 a lot but mostly for the immortals
>Bust my ass to keep the enemy growler and foxhound dead the whole game>Ally bomber gets to click on red squares the whole game, gets 100k points>I get jackshit, same payment as a losing gameWhy do I even bother?
>>584124906According to the builder Growler gets ESM abilities so a level 20 one would actually be even fucking worse than Barricaders are.>>584125118I've flown off course after winning sometimes and the game didn't care. Only in the missions where you have to run to the map edge so I was already there though, so maybe normal missions it would complain.>>584125214Yeah good luck getting enough gun hits when they're spamming super missiles at you.
>>58412390726 purely for the story. That sort of scene always gets me and this is a particularly well executed variant.
FUCK HELICOPTERS WHAT THE FUCK HOW THE FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THIS STUPID FUCKING BULLSHIT
finally finished the campaign
>>584127007>>584127007>>584127007>>584127007
>>584124902SAM niggas
>>584123907I really like 8 because of the nighttime Theve, with all those railguns lighting up the horizon
>>584118227Makes sense. The company wants exposure but the CCP is awfully fucking hostile to the idea of their most advanced totally-invincible aircraft getting blown up, even in a virtual environment.
>>584103958It's just MSL but better. If you're comfortable with MSL kills then having another pair is cool. Not the greatest A2A weapon but it's comfy and predictable, unlike say 2AAM/4AAM which aren't as consistent in dogfights.
