Cooooooopyyyyyy. :D
I feel like the maps in Ace Combat Online need 10x as many targets.
TGM F-14 vs 5th gen scene with AC8 musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2MswLVplLgIt fits so perfectly almost like they made the music to fit this very scene.
i did it brosmission 28 was the only one that gave me trouble, bullshit shadows at the end eating my time bonus, but i brought SASMs instead of QAAMs on my second try and topkek went down like a bitch
>>584512363When does he say this?
>>584512301They need half as many players. Even doubling the enemies won't help that much since you'll still get some dipshit who decides to follow you around the whole game trying to steal everything.It's easy to confirm because you can play warfare where you do only have four people per team and suddenly all the kill stealing goes away. You just have to deal with the enemy team bringing awful special weapons and making the game unfun that way instead.
>>584512596
>>584512556in mission 30
How much points and rewards do i lose out on if i fail to make 10k plus points in co op assault?
What would you do if you were in the bed with DD and he decided to doomscroll NeucoGram right while you're trying to initiate?
>>584512596I'm glad we're on the same page.Fox 2.
>>584512896your score barely matters at all from what i've gatheredyou might earn 2k zoll instead of 2.2k (without booster) or something like that if your team doesn't score the most but thats about it
>be poorfag with phantom>5 sorties in a row with people quitting before it startsi'm fucking sorry
>>584513085>that one rookie pilot who shot herself after getting shot downShit was grim
>>584513260what is the ending to that mission that you get if you don't shoot any of them down?do any of us even know?
>>584513260I wish that was a "Yes" or "No" question, where if you said "No" she'd realize you were the Terminus Fingers and freak out.
>>584513260Its alright they weren't people to start withSota only has two real people in it and its these guys.
>>584513374I wouldn't know.
>>584513447>pastoral squadron>two sheepdog leading a flockwow...
>>584513374If you don't shoot them down, the nuggets realize they were useless and retreat.
>>584513447>ignoring Curis
>>584513552
>>584513260lmao
>>584513374I do!I ignored them while I hunted down Su-47's and killed everything at the airfield. At the end of the level its very mundane and thwy just say >We're pulling out now That is all that is said nothing more kind of disappointing really
>>584513243I think people underestimate the phantom. Anecdotally I feel like it has some teeth once you get some levels under its belt, get the +range ability for the HVAA missiles, and parts to further increase the range and tracking of the HVAA missiles. Shorter range than LAAMS, but IMO deadlier within their sphere of control. Especially if you get a tailshot on something within 3km.
Did they even try with the Zero port?
>>584513552>bringing their advanced fighters back to base, thus allowing some actual pilots to use themyeah I don't fucking think so, down you go kiddos
>>584513374Replaying the mission right now, will be right back
>>584513723They didn't have to try its just the PS2 copy ran with an emulator with upscaling set to 4K. What did you think you were getting? Its the same thing they did with 5.
>>584513243The phantom is actually pretty good, I'm levelling the mig 21 and it's P A I N. But it'll be worth it once I get those MGPs...
>>584513819For me it's>leaving anyone alive in the ruins of Expo Cityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aARaYjgm_rA
Really, how many games make you fight actually, purposely inferior enemies and make them regret it too. It was fucking great.
>>584513819They show up again in the next mission with (some of) the beta test issues worked out to shoot down Kate, at that point it's time for Total Nugget Death
>>584513819They didn't have the expert controls DLC downloaded yet, the planes were useless.
>>584513819Go the Gryphus 1 routeMaybe then I'll finally have a challenge everything else has been easy mode.
>>584513374If you leave them alone they come back later and are the ones that shoot down Kate
>>584512896I haven't noticed much of a difference in assault. Getting a good score gets you a reasonable amount more zoll in warfare though. Probably because warfare has the potential to have good games and get 100k+ scores while assault doesn't.I noticed the other day that there's an MVP bonus so you're definitely missing out on that though. But it's not too huge.
>get one kill with an MG>This My Machine Gun: Recorded highest number of kills with a machine gunNobody uses guns?
>finishing minutes with 2 minutes to spare regularly nowI'M SO FUCKING BORED I BARELY GET TO PLAY THE GAMESU-34S RAPE THE GROUND AND LAAMFAGS FUCK THE SKIES FUCKING FIX THIS
>>584514150that happens either way, unfortunatelyit would have been interesting to have some plot events / wingman outcomes determined by the choices that you make
Is the Rafale or F-35 the better LACMboat?
>>584514528few people doand even fewer actually press the mg button instead of using the autofire (lol)most of the players you'll see online will just spam missiles until they connect
>>584513374If you shoot them down but leave at least one Ventus alive they'll talk her down from killing herself
>>584513878>its just the PS2 copy ran with an emulator with upscaling set to 4KIf that were true would there would be a snap to zoom out on map like in PCSX2 rather than a slow zoom. Xbox buttons have also replaced the menus over the PS2. It also has a much larger file size than typical PS2 Classics and sharper UI elements in general. No no, it's not emulation which does not excuse the poor JPG's on the squadron intros and the shoddy dialogue top screen.
>>584514537People using their fully levelled planes in the "level your planes" mode is wild.
The online is unplayable until they separate people into skill tiers and/or plane tiers.
You know, it's weird that you see everyone except Dealer on the boat
I want to cum on Kate's kill count back tattoo
3 times in a row I took on mission 28 on Ace. And 3 times I failed. I can only get an A. I simply cannot kill all the Shadows fast enough. Correction, I can't kill the LAST Shadow fast enough. When I was down to 1, I had 11 minutes left. I called him and finished the level with 8 minutes and 2 seconds left on the clock. I use all SASM killing 3, and then only have guns and standard missiles for the last faggot. Standard missile can't hit shadows huh? I didn't see a single one hit. I only killed the last one with guns by chance. This is absolute bull fuck.
>>584514767>If you shoot them down but leave at least one Ventus alive they'll talk her down from killing herselfnow this is actually pretty interestingI'll never do it, but still
meme before bedgoodnight aces
>>584515189focus on using guns in that fight whenever you canwatch for the shadows to pop flares or do some silly PSMs, which makes them way more vulnerable for a little bitthey still have a lot of health, so maybe try using the "increased gun damage" part, toostandard missiles can hit them, even 22, but it has to be a perfect shot at the right time
>>584515189are you shooting down only the front bombers and then moving on to the next pack, letting the bomber behind die to crashing?i found that helped with gathering more score so you have more breathing room during the shadows fight, i also saw someone say that if you aren't at the S rank threshold by the end and think your time bonus won't be enough you can leave the last shadow alone and go hunting for migs and shit but i ended up not needing to do that
I can't stand 2 minute long matches. Maybe the targets are weaker than in infinity, but co-op actually worked there and was fun. I literally played Infinity last week.
>>584515381>no godzilla
>>584515381saved
>>584514575Rafale gives you access to both LACMs and LAAMs, which is hilariously busted. Just don't use it to dogfight like you would in 7, it bleeds far too much speed.
>>584515381>no random schizo AI sub saying hurga durga durgen>not even a single beeanon...
>>584515438Sometimes I shoot the front bomber and let them crash, other times I just speed run killing them all and moving on. I can average about 120-122k points by the end of the first phase. I got the S rank on Pilot with the F-15C, and I'm using the Game for these runs. It's just not enough.
>>584515423>standard missiles can hit them, even 22, but it has to be a perfect shot at the right timeOr you just need to be so close that you basically release the missile right up his 3D thrust vectoring nozzles.
>>584515463>difficulty 1are the maps just so pathetic because it's difficulty 1 in online? How do I change that?
>>584515693that, toothe solution is to just get good at turnfights and keeping a close eye on your speed and making small adjustments so that you don't either overshoot or fall too far behind your target, so that you're always ready to blast him once you finally have a window of opportunity
>>584515656i just did that mission with the Game, ended the first phase with around 135k, you really just have to be super efficient with taking out the bombers and then going after every fighter you can when ESM shows up, SASM with all of the useful part upgrades will one shot B1s by the waythen just fly up 22's ass and pray he lets you feed him SASMs reasonably quickly, go hunting for other planes before killing the last shadow if you think your time bonus is fuckedi finished the mission with 11:30 on the timer and a score of 144900 and it was enough
>>584515951I get the feeling the difficulties aren't really implemented yet. People have said they've had 3 turn up and it felt the same.
>>584515951I don't even know what that shit means and Bamco refuses to elaborate
>>584515189I have no problems getting an S rank using guns, but if you're struggling, you can cheese the fight with the X-40 Nightmare. Just dome 22 with the railgun as soon as he spawns. You can one-shot him, along with all the other Shadows.The S rank isn't really time-gated, either. Just focus on racking up kills with guns.My route is:>Start at the top of the map and mow down the first wave of bombers from top to bottom.>Head to the bottom-right and take out the three Tu-160 squadrons.>Fly back up and mow down all the Tu-95s.>Clear the third wave from top to bottom, then dash to the bottom-center of the map and take out all the B-1 bombers.>By this point, Kate should arrive. Finish off the remaining B-1s at the top.>Once Magnolia arrives, spam everything you have at the targets inside her circle.You should be able to rack up at least 150k mission score and secure a comfy S rank before the Shadows even show up.
>>584516136Can confirm, I got I diff 3 chopinburg few times. I guess the only difference is a somewhat more tanky F-22? then again sometimes I still oneshot them with LAAM
What does it give you the full 5 Wings emblem instead of the one painted over the X?
>>584515631bee the change you wantadd it yourself
>>584516490*What mission
Name a better mission than Mission 21 The Star-Bound Bird.You can't. It's peak Ace Combat.
>>584512596I fucking lost my shit when he responded with "A matter of opinion"
Can I get Shadow 28 to spawn by going back and shooting down Shadow 24 in Free Mission, or do I have to do it in a campaign playthrough?
>>584516836Latter.
>>584512504It's cool, but the original tone at the end when they're locked and apologizes to Goose hits way harder.
>>584516836Full campaign playthrough because this game was made by retarded japs
>>584516775I'm a law of war and escalation autist, so he came across as a complete idiot that is basically just asking to get nerve gassed in his sleep.The response to Sotoa's rods from god should have bee a nuclear exchange.
>>584516775
>>584516368Everything gets more hp. Attackers can one shot XSAMs on low difficulties but not difficulty 3 so that's something important I noticed. Though maybe they can if they get the extra ground damage ability, I don't have an attacker with that so I can't check.
>>584516747Literally just Shattered Skies but night time lil bro
>>584516868What a pain. At least it’s the only one.
>>584512596The only time it's acceptable is popping the parachute of a parachute popper. Burn in Hell, Sotoan dog.
How do you use the sticker emotes?
Are the multiplayer maps all Usea location + 1 Anea? I wish we could visit Belka or Yuktobania again.
>>584515189don't need to go fastkill 'em all peter
>>584517178People just don't understand why the concept of war crimes exist. Neither side benefits from random dickery.
>>584516323It's not time gated? I thought it was. So you can secure an S if your score is high enough in the first phase?
>>584517181They should be in your instant radio messages.
>>584516906Hmm, based on the ranks I wonder if the difficulties are actually sort of banded. Like 1-3 would be the same as a level 1 difficulty in infinity but with a bit of range. Because all the emergency sorties are difficulty 3. So to be at Pursuing Moby Dick 4 we'd be at 12 in online.
>>584517314...I don't know where that is either. Fuck this menu. I can see where I can define instant messages, but I don't know how to invoke them in a match.
>>584517301as long as you earn at least 154k points you'll get the S
>>584517382hold right button
>>584517382Right on the d-pad opens the radio menu in a match.
>>584517260Well that is reassuring. I'll just have to be more efficient in the first half.
>>584517432>>584517468>I tried the D-pad, but apparently not right-Dpad.Damnit.
Can someone help me I have a ps1 bios now but im not sure im in the right place, installed it on duckstation but cant find the placei just wanted to play electrospherefuck this shit, how come this doesnt have a pc port?i got my bios from slsk but i used that as the location and i dont think thats a good idea
>>584517182It's all re-used AC7 locations.For now anyway. Maybe. Hard not to go full doomer mode for this online given how this week played out.
>>584517572What do you mean the place? Do you mean the file directory? Bro at this point just ask google's chatbot.
>>584513692>up to 137 sorties>just 363 to go for the sick, sick title
>>584517692i solved it right after on like the file directory and now it shows up on appdataclaude is solving it for mei like ai ngl, humans are too rude and never wanna help so claude is telling me what to dothat way i can play electrosphere since it looks coolone day i hope we never need to ask humans for shit and like proper ai can just help you for all stuff
I just picked the wrong plane for the scramble so I alt+f4'd. Goodnight /aceg/.
>>584517572if you downloaded the bios then now its just>point duckstation to the bios (you should have been prompted to do this when launching duckstation for the first time)>get an AC3 JP iso and use the patch from here https://loadwordteam.com/projects/ace-combat-3-electrosphere-a-complete-fan-translation/ to apply the english translation, it comes with a readme>throw your patched AC3 into duckstation and play, config controllers and graphics and whatever at your leisure
>>584517301It technically is, but because the mission is extremely long, the gate is way far away, and pushed ever farther the higher your score goes, so slaughter is the name of the game.
>>584517874I rarely ever ask anyone anything in troubleshooting now. People usually don't know what you're talking about and then get insecure or some shit and take it out on you.
>>584517902>>584517843thanks anon wtf a good human FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>584516907>Literally just Shattered Skies but night time lil broyeah, peak ace combat
>>584517656No wonder online is kinder to my PC than campaign, previous assets ported over without any touchups I guess
>>584516591it must become as ugly as possible
>>584512091>Please don't join if you don't plan to stick around>want to stick around>the entire online system is so unfathomably antifun it feels like a chore to even log inI feel bad for only putting in token effort but between 2/3 of my matches dropping and the repugnant RNG I can barely force myself to play for more than enough to do the daily challenges Would it kill bamco to give a ticket to do a scramble/emergency as a login bonus or something? Or fuck, as a reward for doing the 4 dailies?
>>584518138it's very obviously downgraded graphically to compensate for multiplayer, the alicorn intro cutscene in particular looks horrendous
>looking at milestone challenges>Perform a total of 5 rescue requests for downed allies>2 out of 5I did what now? When!?!?
>>584518618Go to the Practice hangar and do the tutorial for it, you'll see
>>584518548do you even get anything from dailies and weeklies once you hit 100 on the ace pass? besides a tiny amount of the mostly worthless supply tickets
>>584518548you could always "plan" to stick around but just change your mind later shit happens
>>584518663>still stuck on 4/5 resuppliesThose things are such bullshit. They need to make it like 10% ammo cap and spawn 10 of them, as it is they get instapopped by whoever closest.
>>584515189I just run the F22 with QAAMs, get collaterals and use the mg on Shadow 22 at the first chance I get, which is usually when he starts using flares, the other shadows go down quickly after
>>584518526I understand most but explain kid named Finger, why Mike here?
>>584518956presumably terminus fingers
>>584518991oh, I thought it's something like Toprak doing half measures instead of ending you
>>584515189Railgun.
https://poal.me/eoj5v0https://poal.me/eoj5v0https://poal.me/eoj5v0
Shit, did I run into kaneko lumi
>>584519238I liked Mission 19: Clearing the Lighthouse.
>>584519238You just can't beat Escort Orbiter's "all out of options" moment.
While not the best I find 27 very satisfying and euphoric
>>584519940plus the clouds and lighting were really pretty
>>584519238I can't tell if the guy who added M14 is joking
>>584519238>https://poal.me/eoj5v0What are these shitty options?
>>584518548Is it possible to leave squadrons on your own?I don't play online. I don't know if you can leave squads on your own but if you can and you're somewhat responsible then feel free to join. I'm not the one who put the squadron together but from what I understand a bunch of people joined day1 and then just disappeared leaving a bunch of slots taken.So again, go ahead and join, just make sure you leave the squadron if you ever feel like not playing for some time so that you don't take up space and other anons can join.
>>584520074not even he believes in his own choice, 0 votes and all>>584520150add your own then?
>>584519238for me, it's Retaking of Theve IInot one, but TWO godlike OST tracks (My Blue Sky Home and that sick Supercircus-esque track that plays while you're hunting the shadows), i also just love missions where you're flying over a city at night
Gaffer Card?That Middle-Eastern coded instrument goes hard. I don't know what the instrument is called but you get the idea.Nightmare is good too. I agree Retaking of Theve 2 has some cool guitars.
>>584520337Gaffed Card is really fucking good although I'm biased because I love killing podarges
Attackerbros, what body parts do you use for your planes?
It's kinda funny how in AC8 the MC gets constantly jumped and ambushed. It happened once in AC7 but that was against drones.
>>584521178It happens a couple times in AC7 if you count hidden container drones.
>>584519940Yeah, escort missions usually suck but this one actually has you intercept the missiles and lets you go B-2 hunting, and then escalates into the quintessential AC protag moment. M20 is the one that stuck with me the most.
>decide to watch Asmon play AC8>actually a fucking retard how has this faggot been a gamer this long>watch Moist Critical>actually pretty good for a first time playerIs it just IQ?
>>584521352underage
>>584521352Asmon is a retarded MMO player.
>>584521352Apparently he'd received a sponsorship deal with bamco to play the game. Makes sense he'd play the bare minimum without really giving that much fuck about it. I just really don't know why would you ever sponsor somebody who's guaranteed to make your game look like it's shit to play.
>>584519073>"here's what's gonna happen" toprak said
>>584521352Surprised that Mission 15 didn't filter Charlie
>>584521352livestreamers aren't human beings
he's on mission 10
>>584521352>>actually a fucking retard how has this faggot been a gamer this longplaying like shit on purpose and sperging out is his gimmickhas been for yearsyou are a marketer and you don't even know it
>>584521170Maneuverability one and two stars so fighter players can't fucking hit me
M30 on ace was probably the biggest jump in difficulty I noticed. Even elite was still 1 cluster/1 cruise, but ace was shitting out 2 missiles and 3 cruise all at once. Unexpectedly refreshing.
>>584522154and it's still a fucking waiting game of a mission regardless
>>584518687>>584518687>besides a tiny amount of the mostly worthless supply ticketsNo lol. That's it.
You know, I dont think people give Cope enough credit for using a shitty aircraft to out-manuever a Shadow in a High tier jet and essentially making him crash without firing a single bullet or missible.
>>584521509I was going to try and get the game for free or something when they announced the influencer stuff but was too lazy and thought it wouldn't work since I only have an ace combat thing with 150k views but saw people with less that got stuff so maybe I should have tried.
Something really satisfying about leading your target with a gun before the gun reticle even appears.Also, love bombing HUGE AIRSHIPS with UNGUIDED BOMBS. The way all those green squares just pop makes me feel GOOD.
>>584522324I still can't believe this guy was basically giving a Nomad salute to everyone and nobody thought he was a spy.
>>584521170Sup man 2. NGHRPC2. BROS.Usually enough to stop people from playing chicken long enough for my team to score a free kill or two on me, IF they're paying attention.
>>584522420Dont mind, just a habit of his.
>>584522324He's the only one selling himself short and the rumors of zero kill count doesn't help either, at least everyone starts glazing his flying skills post mortem.
>>584522141I didn't know that you could make them actually cute.
>>584522496Our economy relies on mercs like us.
>>584522420how isolated is Sotoa by the whole world to the point that their customs are apparently too obscure for them anyway? You'd think they're as bad as Belka.
>>584522324He's actually insanely good considering he actively gimps himself. I reckon he's about as good as Shadow 22.
>>584521792>and two starsWhat?
>>584514796They outsourced it to a cheap Vietnamese studio
>>584522613Staying alive is significantly easier if you are purely playing defense. It's staying alive while getting hits onto your opponents that is hard.
>>584522534That's supply girl.
Wanting to play electrosphere. How good is the english patch and how is it on an emulator like duckstation. I remember Zero back in '21, the cutscenes never played.
>>584522141You can't convince me that this isn't a synthWell fight these instead of drones in ac9
>>584522906The US version doesn't have cutscenes anyway.
>>584522906The patch is probably fine, there wasn't anything particularly complicated in the script from what I remember.
Lel
>>584522625Go buy some better parts at the store bro.
On one hand I'm upset I lost this one, but on the other hand some teams don't deserve to win.
Who did Dealer's VA voice in PW?
>>584524013diplomat i tihnk?
>>584524013Diplomat, Hitman 2
You know what amuses me, the fact that Theve entirely comes from people not knowing how to pronounce Kyiv and saying keev.
>get MvP with most air kills while flying the F-4EDamn this feels good.
>>584523656The team with the or more competent EA36 wins, thats how it goes.
>>584524216feels good? when the entire lobby is most likely fucking dying or sleeping on the job?
>>584524205It's Kiev.
>>584524271That's a Russian transliteration, unless you call Ankara, Angora still I have no respect for your brand of contrarianism.
>matchmaking back to being godawful agsincool
>>584524256It actually is. I had a game like that earlier. Both sides had an EA-36, the enemy team even had an F-22, but because ours was more skilled and I made a point to hound the fuck out of theirs in my F-16 we won by like 100k points.
>The Shadow squadron chant was a bastardization of the original song about the actual nomad and the desire to return to their homeland.I pity the Sotoans, but I do not feel sorry for them. Especially the fuckass larpers. Hell I only feel this way because of Cope. If he wasn't here I wouldn't have given them a damn.
>>584524701>resident evil >105k reviewswhat the fuck?
>>584524701Trails fans don't deserve voting rights.
>>584524762Yeah it popped the fuck off across the board, lad.
>Are we even the same species?
>>584524256You know, this Barricader did actually go out of his way to fuck with me in the last few minutes while the scores were neck and neck to keep me dodging instead of bombing. Maybe if I'd been higher level and had more UGBs I could've made up the score, but that dude was definitely the MVP of his tram.
>>584524701>onimusha below the new plague taleHow? The new plague tale is so fucking ass
>>584524971It's all about the number of reviews if you ask me. 4.69 over 22k reviews beats 4.70 across 3.5k
>>584524701already falling down that low huh
>>584514150While it was a strong emotional moment, i also find it very dumb that the reason kate got shot down by the gemmas was because she, a supposedly very professional veteran, started navel-gazing about cope in the middle of an operation.

I hope Ridge Racer 8 has the tracks be real world places and the reverse tracks swap the signs out for Strangereal locations.

>>584525863I like how there are two different p5 editions and two different tlou editions populating the top.Also impressive to see Kojimers game rated that high and in such abundance.The last one wasn't as high.
>>584526087Probably because by DS2 the people knew what they were getting, so you had way less guys thinking it'd be more like a "normal" kojima game and thus not voting it down.
>>584524701trailsfags are fucking delusional, as always

>>584525863Persona 5 blew the fuck up in a way even 4 didn't. I love 5 and I bought Royal for cheap for a second playthrough. Sure didn't need 38 different spinoffs though, who the fuck asked for a Persona gacha game? I hope 6 is good, the trailer gives me a little hope the tone and aesthetic's gonna be a bit darker.
>>584526737My favourite thing about 5 is that it confirmed they actually are keeping track of the butterflies and thus Philemon, but it's been so long since he's been a proper character, please ATLUS, let him be a real character in 6..
>>584525939>>584526067I've actually seen this label on things that have no AI in them at all, YouTube thinks if you something like an Adobe product that's got AI shoved up it's ass you automatically used the AI in your video.
Nagase is basically Ace Combat's Captain Price.
>>584525863>>5845267376 seems like its gonna be jap ghostbusters, SMT is still the better series tho
>>584526857I played through 1 a few years ago and got the bad ending because I'm stupid, but I've loved it since. I need to go back to it and go through the 2 duology as well. And SMT IV so I can finally say I've played a real Shin Megoomi Tensay game.>please ATLUS, let him be a real character in 6..It would be the perfect time to bring him back.
>keep seeing a retard bringing UGBs to Fort Gray's
>>584526945Captain Price is at least cool. Nagase is annoying when she speaks and looks like a femboy.
>>584527014Look, they can spam the fuck out of chopinburg and fort grays all they want, I just want to farm levels for my Su-34 in peace
I was really hoping Baxter dying was a fake spoiler, I fucking hate General Hot Wheels and her edgelord subordinate. The actual death scene is dragged the fuck out in a way that makes Chopper's death look like it happened in an instant, but it got me good. I hated seeing him suffer like that. Also they are not slick with the weird fakeout about Kate dying, genuinely what the hell was that? Yeah Baxter's death is melodramatic like a Yakuza death, but all the stuff with Kate just feels like they did it for shits and giggles.
>110 missiles>still run outAC6 bros?
>>584527032I don't mind the way Nagase speaks. The princess on the other hand......
>>584527173re: KateHer "death" was forced as fuck. It was really out of character for her to have a woman moment that hard and just zone the fuck out in the middle of a battle for no reason at all. It's like they forced it just so that they could bring her back for their dumb "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE" moment.
>>584527173Kate dying was hopecoded! I do agree and I said this, don't ever do "And then this character actually survived! please look forward to them coming back!" It's rarely done well and they legit spoil her comeback right after Baxter dies and for what exactly? To balance it out? She shouldn't have gotten shot down in the first place.
i dont think this is translated?i couldnt find the JP game anywhere online so i just got it from slsk, someone had the game fully patched? i am ignorant i dont know how to pirate im sad
>>584527396>>584527545 the 11's are hacks and they needed to find a way to get coster and tasha to man the fuck up. it was just done extremely rushed because i felt like they wanted to give more missions for character development but they couldn't really do it.
>>584527702I hope that you find your answer. I unfortunately don't know it, and I need to get ready for work soon.
>>584527702Did you follow the instructions from https://loadwordteam.com/projects/ace-combat-3-electrosphere-a-complete-fan-translation/?
The game should've ended at Mission 29. Mission 30 could've been a cutscene to set up Electrosphere. It's such a letdown from such an amazing climax.Game's still GOTY though
Let's not try and pretend that Ace Combat has ever had good writing. It's always ran purely on hype moments, aura, and epic music inbetween the gameplay so that you never notice how cheesy and nonsensical it really is underneath.
>>584528029Making actually good hype moments is good writing.
>>584528029Kill yourself
>>584528029>t's always ran purely on hype moments, aura, and epic music inbetween the gameplay so that you never notice how cheesy and nonsensical it really is underneath.Well yes, it's an anime i don't know what to tell you dude.

>>584527976>>584527991it works! much love to all here, im happy it worked.i dont know if this is the right resolution to play but this is so cool and the ost is great>>584527991i couldnt find the japanese iso anywhere so i just downloaded the full patched game and the mu3 from someone directly in p2p
>>584528173With piracy, sometimes the solution is to bash things together until they work.
I bought.
>>584528251>25 bucks for a 1/72I mean... not the craziest...
>>584528251>F/A-18Chuh funny coincidence, i was using that livery with that plane for the longest time online.
>>584528251Really wish kotobukiya would do more reprints of older models.
>>584526968I never thought about it, but yeah P5 does really create the conditions for Philemon to actually appear again.
i have been uh flying in circles but i got a kill this game is so cool
>>584527173I actually thought it was a bait & switch like Kate and I was really sad it wasn't :'(
>>584528020I'm continually baffled at retards not understanding the point of M30 being a victory lap and a way to cap off the narrative.
>>584527396Im also confussd by the fact that she got picked up by a Savian SAR team despite being shot down over territory that got taken by the FCU just 15 minutes later
>>584527891Yeah killing Baxter essentially accomplishes the same thing I think, but if they wanted me to take the Kate stuff seriously they should have just had her die. Not that I want her dead, but shit or get off the pot you know?>>584528251>Su-33 instead of the 57Felonbros......>>584528305It's about the price of a 1/144 gunpla kit so it's not too bad honestly. Hasegawa kits do seem nice too.>>584528376See I think they wanted it to be ambiguous who was actually in that coffin which is why they have Kate's scene of passing out in the ocean come righter after Baxter's last breath. It's just such an odd car crash of a conclusion to that part of the story.
>>5845283051/72 of what? How small is that?
>>584528020I need more of these cope x tewy memes
I want Hortus Regis Alti to play at the game awards bros…
>>584528251Why not Joker Flight and Shadow 22? Annoying.
>>584528251It bothers me that the pinstriping on the shadow kit are a pale yellow-gold when in game it's very much a dark orange-goldHopefully someone makes a proper waterslide set or something, I hate painting lines that small
>>584528404>I just realized the sub from Mission 4 is the same sub we fight in 30
>>5845285381/72 of the actual airplane i believeit's around 29cm from the radome to the rwr since sukhois are hyuuuge
>>584528632You're getting song of wings
>>584528029Kill yourself.
>>5845285381/72 of real life size. So since a flanker is 21.19m long this would be roughly 30cm.
>>584528661
>>584528660>I hate painting lines that small.If it makes you feel any better, army painter makes a line of model paint sharpies and I've sworn off of airbrushing for them. alot better with precision results.>>584528527 If you want my actual opinion, everyone was at their mental boiling point between Tasha and Kate watching the entirity of Queen Flight get fucked by Shadows, Coster still not over Purple Magic being murdered, and Baxter taking taking an emp blast to the cockpit. When I first saw the cutscene, I just assumed Kate purposely took because she was that tired of fighting.
>>584528661If you fly by it you get some dialogue, too.
I think they should introduce a character who fucks off and misses like every briefing and debriefing in the next game. Like a hot-headed one of sorts. I'd really LOVE that character, considering I fucking hate briefings and debriefings in these games and have a hard time sitting through them. You can even kill him during a mission the briefing for which he actually shows up for.
because awacs dealer never shows his face, does aceg assume him to be a grizzled old brit or some autistic 20 something year old obsessed with poker games and gambling meta theory.
>>584528020Things will make more sense once the DLC takes us to Belka to finish off division 303
>>584528978You can even sort of metawrite him in by him saying "I don't need to hear any of that, all I need is just look at the map." Because some players DO skip briefings, look at the map featuring the potential order of battle and pick their loadouts according to the amount and type of targets.
>>584528919What the fuck I specifically looked for that sub in its spot that the briefing mentioned and couldn't find it
>>584529197
>>584529306i think that's the idea of submarines
>>584529197his JP voice is literally a high school boy voice, you tell me
>>584528428The savians just sortied there at the same time, and they did their own search and rescue for there guys. Search and rescue will rescue whoever they can and they'll sort everyone out later
>>584529197Definitely on the younger side. Mid 20s, 6ft, slender guy. The kind of guy who spits out pointless trivia at parties.
>>584529197From the game's actual character artist.Honestly it fits the degenerate gambler vibe pretty
PLSLs on a fishbed
>>584529425oh god that is the face of someone who would talk your ear off about chess theory and poker psychology.
>>584529306that's fucking crazy man
>>584529558Even considering there's almost no chance that they won't be nerfed once they're added back, it'd still be fun to have PLSLs on a rust bucket.
>>584529643I think the only thing that should be nerfed is their range.
>>584529197he doesn't sound old at all.
Will thems ever tops Magical Lance Volume 1+2?
Man, it's insane how much more rewarding Warfare is for attackers compared to Assault. Especially since warfare teams tend not to double up on ground pounders, so a decent solo attacker usually goes absolutely wild. But this match was basically decided from the loadout screen.They really need to raise the payouts for all game modes to help with the grind though, and to start putting in general blueprints in Scrambles as well as Emergency Sorties.
I feel like Sotoa and to an extent Yuktobania are the only times PA put any thought into accents or races.
>>584529882Warfare responds targets and most of the time fighters ignore you unless you fly in their FOV.
>>584529882No, letting everyone max shit out too quick would be unironically bad. What we need is a fucking event to give us a goal other than just "level things up"
>>584529558Better yet, give us the Bison
>>584529883And even then, those accents only become relevant for characters who are encountered in cutscenes.
>>584529956respawns*
>>584529959>>584529882Infinity having events kept the game alive even if it were maybe 800 ppl.
>railgun fire spreads open cloudsin 2026 even these small things are a big deal for a game
>>584527396>>584527545Kate's "death" makes absolutely zero sense and feels completely out of character for her to lose focus like that during a battle. The scene and the whole Avengers Assemble moment though could have worked if it was Tasha was the one to lose focus and get shot down then later return.>>584527891It always felt after that stint with the shuttle escort Kate had a word with Coster and Tasha behind the scenes cause magically the brats were behaving after that fight. The pieces were always there the writers just didn't know how to fit them together.
>>584529959>No, letting everyone max shit out too quick would be unironically bad.Even doubling the zoll rewards wouldn't help that much, 2k-3k per match turning into 4k-6k would still be a ~16~25 match grind to get enough zoll to max out even a tier 1 plane without any Scrambles/Sorties popping up which is where any meaningful money is made. I guess Scramble and Sortie rewards can stay the same, but no matter what the 5 general blueprint cap is the real speedbump to people mazing shit out and not

What drove Sotoans to fucking insanity with people like Shadow 22 etc?
>>584530525SOD but dogshit right?
>>584530593Basically it all comes down to simple RAILGUN WARNING, RAILGUN WARNING.
>>584530525It ain't a crime if used to cleanse the world of Sotoans!
>>584527396>It was really out of character for her to have a woman moment that hard and just zone the fuck out in the middle of a battle for no reason at all.>>584530309>and feels completely out of character for her to lose focus like that during a battle.1. Wasn't the battle basically won at that point when she lets her guard down? Doesn't that scene happen right after you think the ground forces are beaten, and the FCU commander or whoever is demanding their surrender? I could be misremembering, but if I'm not, then it seems understandable that she might've taken a breath at that moment.2. Blame fatigue. Your squads have been fighting hard for months in what has, for most of its duration, been a hopeless, borderline-apocalyptic war. Soldiers don't stay perfectly focused when they're worn down like that."Convenient," from a storytelling perspective? Maybe.Immersion-damaging? I don't think so.
>>584530525wait, speaking about bombs, I just noticed that FAEB is completely missing from AC7 and AC8, where the fuck is that thing?
>>584515381You should've put in maxi pads with wings
>>584530595You could make it good. I've always thought that with enough NPB you could create a storm that encircles and burns inward. Like the firebombing of Dresden but on a smaller scale.
>>584530595would be very good in torching the geothermal plant trucks where SOD can't reach
>>584530664That was only on the FALKEN, right? I'm sure they'll add it then.
>>584530664I used up the entirety of Strangereal's FAEB stockpile bombing Belkans.
>>584530663It still doesn't make sense for Kate to lose focus since basically her character is legit described as someone who doesn't switch off till they are all safely landed and the kids are tucked into bed type. It just goes against everything that was established and shown about her up until that point.
>>584525201Didn't the later Ridge Racer games take place in Strangereal due to the Nagases sister being the race queen?
>>584530778It's just UGBLL, I wonder why they even promote it to Super SPW tier like TLS
>>584530303PA's weather tech is so cool. It felt a bit contrived and gimmicky in places in 7 (sandstorm, missile silos), but it was underutilized here. Hopefully 9 strikes a good balance
>>584530778Su-37 had it in ACZ, which is nuts considering how early you unlock that.
>>584530794It's so funny how ACZ is the game where FAEB is a common SPW
>>584531010What's funny is that the plane itself is like 60% A2G but the weapon turns it into a better ground fucker than some other A2G focused planes. Also the fact that bombs can still be used to bomb airships makes it a really good spw against the hresvelgr.

>>584531276Once you buy everything they'll always put them in FA-36/X-40/ADFX except for ground heavy missions where it'll put one or two in an F-15E.

>>584532131I just spam ground targets while everyone is fighting
>>584529882Attackers are basically your main carries in warfare. The match revolves around protecting your attacker while keeping the enemy attacker down.

honestly it's stupid of them to expect people to deal with Chandelier with less than 1% of the ACfans in the entire world has ever touched AC6, you might be winning more if you're up against Gleipnir, at least ACX is actually accessible to people and Gleipnir itself is easy to understand

Do wingmen "level up" the planes you give them in AC5? I genuinely don't know.

>only way to get the attacker campaign achievement is by using the A-6Erather rip my balls off. the F/A-18F should have been classed as an attacker, this game's designations are vibes-based anyway
Planes in the same family should be able to share their special skins.Maybe make that an extra unlock like kill an Ace wearing his skin to unlock it for the others.

>>584540243In ACI it had a damage penalty against certain targets for some reason. Even Hamilton Flatpack needed parts to two shot tanks with them. Just the standard generic tanks worth like 100 points would survive two of them. It was weird.Aside from that it's bomb but big.

>>584540273the two superbugs really should've been more differentiated but I mean it's only a couple of missions, relatively speaking, then you can go back to dicking on people with the f-15, it's definitely no worse than the MG or no damage runs at least
>>584540734>the two superbugs really should've been more differentiatedthe only reason F-18F is in the game is because they needed a twin seat hornet kek
>>584540653Yeah, I guess. It was still weird seeing giant explosion and then the tank is barely hurt though.It was also bad against ships and pillboxes and things like that now that I check so I assume your logic is what they used. Hard targets are hard.
>>584539478Yes they do. Just very very slowly.
>>584538302Is a Japanese game so everyone is afraid of nukes.Realistically the war would have devolved into a full on nuclear war the second Expo got bombed.

For a city that had the equivalent of a bunch of nukes or tiny asteroids dropped on it, most of Expo looks rather fine and intact
>>584541186>Is a Japanese game so everyone is afraid of nukes.
>>584541186It's also funny to think about how everyone would have reacted when Osea and Erusea accidentally took out the entire world's satellites. The game completely ignores that every other country that wasn't involved in the war was probably not very impressed by that.
Went back to Newfield to check two things: the Triumphant in dock (gave it some SFFS for good measure) and the reaction of the Sharks if they are left alone to the end of the mission. Their dialogue's not really noteworthy in that case, but the squad actually does notice the Triumphant if you go near it.Also got to see the Gripen ace survive to take off, and the bastard was actually TOUGH. Flew like a Sol Squadron member, even got on my tail and went in for guns. I actually respect that son of a bitch, no other named ace had me putting in that kind of effort. I also didn't know this, having done it on a whim, but there's actually additional dialogue if you go for the left side of the island before hitting the Anderson Port. Tasha's question about its shape is properly answered without interruption, and Professor is worried for the state of Gen Alpha's education.
>>584541421i mean he wouldn't need one if they were farming the enemy planes with IEWS support so...

Haha besides the briefing you can get a "wow that's no ordinary submarine" line during mission 4. >hey we're bombing newfield since they switched sides and the Sotoans moved in don't worry about hitting that Submarine I just said was importantNot Deborah Wilson's best gamble huh

>>584524342There was a poet named Ivan Franko. There's a city named after him in Ukraine, it was called Ivano-Frankovsk. They renamed it to Ivano-Frankivsk, absolutely losing the connection to the man, but at least name sounds somewhat "Ukrainian" now. Also is it Japan or Nihon for you?
>>584541636>when Osea and Erusea accidentally took out the entire world's satellitesWas there a SINGLE line in AC8 about that? It was treated like an apocalyptic "things will never be the same" event in AC7 but by AC8 it's like nothing bad ever happened.

>>584544283Didn't they explain it in the first three missions
>>584543998To be fair, they do have experience cleaning up space debris, and the space elevator would make putting new satellites up easy too. But yeah it's still fucked up how nobody seems to care.

>>584544440go back to what?
>>584544283Sotoa is turning into a desert so they want to move to your country.Your army is in the way so they're dropping space sticks on you to get you out of the way.
>>584544283Sotoans have always had a stick up their ass. They figured out they could remove said stick and put them on satellites to bombard people from orbit.

>>584544283I swear it was explained once in Mission 3 and then the real reason was in like Mission 25. Enso Order want a collapse of the nation-state system so they started the Sotoan-Usean war and then are actively prolonging it until Osea and Yuktobania join in and take each other out and they'll pick up the pieces.

https://www.youtube.com/live/-RyJYPrczs0Something I never think about is how much of this game is in English lol. There's still a JP dub and descriptions but pretty much the entire UI is exactly the same since it looks cool
>>584544772If we ever end up in a situation where the place we got the names for finland or germany from declare a genocidal war on them, we might change it, we can change it whenever we want, it's trivial.
>let's give a dozen of our new hyper advanced and presumably hyper expensive jet fighter to a bunch of nuggets so untrained they don't even know how to eject, and then send them up against the squadron that's singlehandedly annihilated our entire air force and navyWhy are they like this
>>584544624In Strangereal? ProbablyBut also Enso Order helped prepare and perpetuate the war. I'm pretty sure the idea is that if the FCU or Sotoa win Enso Order get to profit off the result. It's only the stuff right at the end of the game that helps derail the plan. Like originally D.D. and the whole Wings of Theve media push is clearly bullshit propped up by Enso Order originally but the plan succeeds too well, hence the end of the game. Anyway my point is Enso Order probably pushed Sotoa to ravage Usea so they get to swoop in and get lucrative reconstruction contracts. It's part of the Lore that Sotoa was helping hollow out industry/tech on the eastern parts of Usea prior to the war and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Enso Order was probably part of that too.Ace Combat 8 is about how trad warrior culture morons are catspaws for a megacorp, which now that I think about it, that is one of the more realistic things Ace Combat 8 has.

The international community decided "yeah nah" after that. And most of the FCU member states sided with Sotoa willingly or got scared and raised the white flag after Expo got hammered.
>>584544840>We changed angora to ankara, we can change anything99% of English speakers have never heard of this city in their life.

>>584544989A lot of Japanese radio protocol is still in English. See video related.https://youtu.be/JnOfNQ9VWo0?si=eJAlTtFo6JvkwG24&t=292As an aside it's kinda strange how much Japanese people use English but still have such a low English proficiency rate. I read a theory once it's exactly because of the amount of loanwoards and katakana usage stunt development of English.

>>584545329damn anon I was just about to type out a response saying 'yeah to this day a lot of global air traffic control stuff is in English, regardless of the country' and was gonna point out the Kill Wyvern scene from that movie, before I clicked on the embed and saw what you linked. IIRC the air traffic control voice actors for these scene were a married couple who were indeed exactly that in real life. Don't quote me on that though I don't remember where I got that from. re: spoilerI think this is also because Japan has such a highly developed and productive entertainment sector they're less inclined to seek out entertainment in English (that is to say, they can always just wait for the dub since they have probably the most highly developed voice actor industry in the world). The rest of the world comes to them, not the other way around. Whereas SEA and even China itself probably has more english proficiency. I'm not sure I would say pure capita in china's case since I'm not expecting a farmer from Xianjiang province to be able to do Shakespeare for me. But the younger people who go off to London or Syndey to study a degree? Yeah they're going to know better English, or maybe just be really good at using google translate.Also Japan has much less of a culture of studying abroad. Though this means that the Japanese students who you do see emigrate out to study/work tend to be fairly interesting and outgoing people. The first woman I fell in love with was one and my best friend is one who just so happened to like Gundam and the music I like. He refers to me as a 2000s Otaku because I would mention Gundam SEED to him. Ace Combat 8

If you fuckers are gonna have this argument here of all places can you at least not avoid my filters kthnxbye>>584545329Well in the case of the JASDF it was primarily because they were trained by Americans and still maintain a high level of interoperability with the USAF and USMC.What's interesting is the Chinese fighter pilots also primarily speak English, because spoken Chinese is borderline incomprehensible over radio at the best of times.

>>584546668Why use anything against ground targets other than a LACM?
>>584530838No, they were always set in the real world.The series has blatantly American manufacturers Lizard (now defunct) and Danver, Italian rockets from Assoluto and Rivelta (before it was bought out by the >French), and even South Korea gets in on the action with Sinseong Motors' Jujak in Ridge Racer 7.R4 had races taking place in the US and Japan, while RRV and RR7 took place in the fictional Ridge City (in the equally fictional Ridge State, a man-made archipelego). Strangereal brands like General Resource popping up on billboards are just cheeky references, much like the Terrazi Gaia (presumably from a failed Ridge Racer 8 pitch) showing up in ACE 7.
>>584528404even if thats the case its not a very fun victory lap. Tewy fight was fun and had cool moments and was a sick dogfight.

luv me A-6Eluv me F-14Aluv me F-4Eshan't be using higher tier planes ever
>>584546965I've done enough grinding to get LACM and UGB is better in a lot of situations. The reload is obviously better, the splash range is better after abilities/parts, and it's way easier to use at close range. LACM tries to do top attack except it launches forwards with a reasonable amount of velocity, so if you shoot at close range then it'll fly up and then down and hit the ground behind the target. Even if you're pointed right at them it'll still miss. It also ignores terrain most of the time so it'll happily do sharp dives and slam right into a mountain even though if it just flew straight it would have hit.Also I'm pretty sure CIWS ignores bombs. I don't think I've ever seen them shoot down bombs at least. Every once in a while some bitch aegis/AD tank kills my LACM so I have to wait SEVENTEEN SECONDS for the reload and it's very frustrating.

>>584545013The FA-36 is apparently so automated that even an absolute novice can fly it because the on-board AI just corrects all the mistakes, they would probably have died on takeoff if given any other plane (hell, mavismen CO manages to kill himself despite the advanced AI)

>got it to level 15>out-turning F-22s in my MiG-31You know, there are limits to my suspension of disbelief, PA.
>>584547372Capacity is actually fine. The reload is slow enough that you can't spam them too fast, and both of the planes that get it are high tier so they have a lot of ammo from that. You might think that it'll be a problem if you equip it and another special, but that's not an issue because neither of them have a second special worth equipping until they're fully uncapped, and if they're fully uncapped they can go to level 20 for lots of ammo and where they both have an ammo ability for even more. And unlike most ammo abilities theirs don't have relevant drawbacks either.
>>584547347It was used to refer to young allied pilots who didn't really know what they were doing, and thus were fodder for enemies. But it wasn't used in a derisive sense. It was actually kind of horrifying when they started dying, because of how helpless they were.Now, it can have the connotation of "noob," or "someone who you're supposed to try to keep alive, even though they're just going to die anyway," or it's also the name of the little yellow chick mascot that shows up in Ace Combat marketing sometimes. He also showed up in the drawing outside of the door to the ship's mess hall in AC8 in one of the earlier cutscenes.

>>584547286Yeah you can, but they're still there. 30 drags on and on and its not really exciting at all. I feel like they could have added a special thing where if you spare Gemma they show up battle hardened or something. Just something to spice it up because its like 25 minutes of boredom.

>>584548317Essentially no. Its fucking retarded and anyone could see the issues coming a mile off. Devs have said nothing about fixing it so online will be dead within a month.
>>584548317They had low cost TDM for a while but when they switched over to DM they removed the limit.The limit is also broken in that it ignores plane level so you can take a level 20 plane vs level 1 ones if you want. At least I think you can.

If this game came out 15 years ago there'd be a "/v/ sings Song of Wings" underway by now
Man, 5 is so fucking stingy with ammo it's crazy. RAN OUTTA EVERYTHING.
>>584549183Well, they didn't have any grind so it was basically just tards using top-level aircraft right out the gate and shitting on each other like such. At least Capital Conquest was a genuinely competent mode.
>>584547864Still don't see a use for them over sffs or ugbl. Reload and AoE are not good enough.
this sure is a game of time
>>584550075I think 5 is the only game where it's possible to do "too good" and run out of ammo against the respawning targets even if you're very effective with your fire. There's a few missions where you're just straight up forced to stop yourself.
>>584550162Truly the Su-57 is too overtuned.
>>584550162<< Yo buddy still alive? >>
The Morgan is so big.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDLJBXRuO-YI am surprised this particular song stuck out to me over most options
>>584550271<< Yo Buddy, starting to wish I wasn't. >>
>>584550143The reason to use them is you want a multirole instead of an attacker, since none of the high tier multiroles have a better ground option. If I was allowed to have a super Mirage that flew like an F-35 but could keep UGB+LASM then sure I'd use that, but I can't. Instead I use an F-35 with LACM+8AGM (I mean, I will when I get the blueprints) and make do.
Didn't know I could get gambling tickets from playing. Neat.
>>584548635How're you getting into turnfights with player F-4Es while doing Chandelier?
>>584513085I feel bad because I was left out of the Gemma squadron turkey shoot lol. I focused on Ventus because I spotted them first, and by the time I had downed them, the rest of Joker had taken Gemma out.

>>584551198I blame the character creator and the asians' inability to have good beard options in their games.>>584551236Hey man if I'm going to be leveling up a superplane I might as well level up the best one.
>>584544287The craters in Expo City are big as fuck, and there are six of them. Given that it was fully populated at the time of the strikes, and that the impacts seem centred on residential areas, I'd imagine tens of thousands of casualties even without any fallout.
>>584551136I don't think those sotoans would be able to stomach the UGBL sized high-g loads Rex is dumping into kate on an hourly basis.
>>584551302Fair enough, at least most people will definitely get shacked. Especially if they're not running the high G extenders. I kind of wish we had a 1v1 mode, it would be fun to test our might.>>584551779That's rough. I use a Gripen in Warfare. Would the rafale but it's so FUCKING EXPENSIVE.
>>584551807see >>584548278
>>584551807It's a second gun in a game where guns are already good.
>>584550984But why would you want a multirole in your attacker slot? It's not like it's faster.
>>584552032the fact that they haven't just added all the modes from 7 alongside the stuff from 8 is so odd to me. Like they had a decent framework with 7's cost limits. I feel like they haven't really learned anything about online from AH-Infinity-7. I feel like warfare would be a lot cooler if there was a way to launch from a base/carrier and get temporary buffs that incentivized keeping the enemy players from destroying them.

I sometimes win and sometimes lose in Warfare, which provides a balanced experience
Not sure if I like the "please level up this plane in order to unlock the next one from this tree" thing. It's not that it's difficult but it's triggering my autism a little bit by not allowing me to see what those are and now my "progress bars" are all over the place.
>>584552478I get the feeling that MP came last in development, and with the switch to a new engine, they just didn't have enough time to give it the TLC they intended to. Hopefully they can still fix it up some in future updates, but yeah, it's really fucky at the moment. I think they also intended to have branching paths in the SP and cut all that too, for the same reason.
Can't believe PA so heavily relied on nanite...
>>584552364So I can kill air enemies when that's a good idea. Sometimes you get second phases with barely any ground enemies (Farbanti and space elevator both do that sometimes). Sometimes the other team are weird and all bring attackers for some reason so there's huge competition for ground. Sometimes I'm flying and I see air enemies in a good spot so I may as well shoot them. And nearly every time there's an emergency with fighters.Multiroles are obviously worse at ground but being versatile is good.
Does the droneswarm seem strangly underused in 8 to anyone else?
>>584552707Yeah, the downside of PSMs is the stall part. I think I shoot down more F-22s and Su-57s than lower planes because they just sit there and eat it. The only ones that abuse PSMs and still fuck me up are the Su-47 players.
>>584552927>assaultShould've just said so. I thought you were talking about Warfare since actually trying to optimise assault is pointless.
>>584552835>I get the feeling that MP came last in development, and with the switch to a new engine, they just didn't have enough time to give it the TLC they intended to. Hopefully they can still fix it up some in future updates,The fact nearly everything is pulled from AC7 and theres several merchants and what looks like a display board for something that does nothing? Yeah I kinda get the feeling a lot of stuff is unfinished.The display screen was supposed to play ongoing matches too
>>584552990I think they occupy the same space as the barrier drones in that they get addressed by gun fire so PA probably was feeling only so comfortable testing them vs user feedback
>>584553051Being able to meaningfully fight back vs air is good in warfare too.
>E rankThey should've made clearing the whole game getting only Es a medal.
>>584553102Yeah it's been the same green gripen match 24/7 for me, others say it's three dev matches that loop, but I've never seen the other two.
>>584552707I just fly whatever plen I like. If I win, I win.
>>584553102Display that does nothingThat's not true! People can watch that delta wing fire missiles when they're queuing for their next 5 minute bomb dump
>>584553289What would it be called? Goober? Trainwreck?
>>584553320 (me)Meant for >>584552719
The 'meta' setup in Warfare would be having one dedicated ground attacker and the rest being fighters. If you have two attackers fighting for points, they are wasting those points because they're both getting ACE late and by the time they do, the other side of ground units has been splashed by the other attacker for less points than what you'd get as an ACEThe fighters are there to cover your ass, bully the enemy attackers, destroy flying units, et cetera. Except no one cares about that bullshit anyways and it's the wild west, but that's a 'perfect' scenario and how you end up seeing single attackers being MVPs in warfare when uncontested
>>584553421No, in one of the back corners there's a bunch of display boards for ~something~ that isn't in yet. I assume for leaderboads
>>584553289Might simply be impossible for score attack missions.
Really hope this does super well.Is 1 mil good for an AC game?
>>584552990Are they in any mission beside land battleship 1 and the submarine?
>>584548805We genuinely need MGP/EML/PLSL on planes again
>>584553507Anti air trio can be really flexible, they don't have to all be fighters. Morgan, Growler, Barricader are all just as good if not better than other fighter options.
>>584553440What's the opposite of Ace? That.
>>584553698True, except the Morgan, Growler and Barricader are planes picked by low test specimens and I don't want them in my team, even if it means we lose
>>584553726High 2
>>584553726Flunked.
>>584553641>Is 1 mil good for an AC game?It's big but it can get and most likely will get to 2.It kind of depends how well it does over time. 7 also had a decent start too but it kept selling in bursts.
>>584552990Agree, I think it's really cool addition too. Maybe they were worried people might think it too bullshit.
>>584553282Not good enough to gimp your attacker, who should be your team's main source of points.
>>584553726>What's the opposite of Ace? Sotoan
>>584552707Lmao, stupid fucks.
>>584553726Eca
>>584552990Those dispensers from mission 30 are pretty neat too but only limited to that mission. Hope they bring it back for DLC missions

>>584553641It's the best opening week the franchise has ever had.
>>584554364That's like... so far away, man. Like after 2030 probably.
>>584554364It did. It also did they put some planes from the movie into the game too.

>>584512091Whoever made that ac8 database website is a saint. There are so many half-finished AI generated wiki sites out there, I was so happy to find it.
>>584533818Might have something to do with everyone who said it we killed. Hard for a name to spread when we kill all who speak it.
>>584553507I see this setup in most of my games. But it's usually 2 fighters + ecm rather than 3 fighters. Sometimes I also see 2 ecms. 1 duos with the fighter and lets the laamboat sit in their bubble while the other(usually a barricader, more combat focus) shadows the attacker and tries to protect it.
Better strike setup than Mig 29. LAGMs are so bad.
I just realized there's unholy amount of larping in this game from both side of the conflict.
>>584554740Pretty depressing witnessing the dead internet theory become reality before our eyes. We had a good run, I suppose.
>>584554930counterpoint: fixed fuel probe
>>584555231FCU is basically larping as a functional governmental entity.
>>584533818>>584554902Terminus would have been the best, but they had to overexplain it with the name and add Fingers to it. Imagine if the thing was known as Terminus, they start calling you it, and we find out in a cutscene it's because the five emblem looks like their mythical Terminus and its fingers.

>>584555313If all planes are meant to be girls then does that mean French planes are futas?
>>584555490My point was that even the meager payload of 1 slot of UGB does significantly more damage.
>>584555553Nah, French planes are Girls with Straps. The fuel probe is removable.Planes with integrated mechanised probes are futas
>>584547837You know what PA give us the Turbo Kat next season with all its VTOL and weapons selection. Its clear they don't care about anything in MP so lets just break it completely.
Why couldn't Baxter keep his mouth shut in Rio Bajo? He popped off while they were right next to him, Is it cause he's black?
>>584555490LASM is by far the best. The bonus damage it does to ships is colossal.
>>584555792I would never fly any other plane.RIP reboot
>>584552914Congrats you made it look like AC5 once again.
>>584556000He was just saying what the player wanted to say.
>>584556000What an upstanding Sotoan citizen.
No wonder they burn through SPW so quick if you're not micromanaging
>>584556002LACM does about the same damage to them in my experience. Reload is a tiny bit worse but the range and splash range is way better so it's better.
>>584556000Both parties involved in that conversation knew the score. Both Toprak and Tewy knew and Baxter and Rex knew it. At that point Baxter might as well talk shit while he's at it.
>>584553860Anon was right Topgun really helped sales for 7 too.It also doesn’t hurt that 7 was often on Ultrasale, too.I think I got my copy for $6 on a steam sale.That being said it’s rather ingenius to do that and then have the promise if 8 soon after.
>>584545342To be fair, there's a lot going on in these missions, I missed some dialogue cause I was so focused on not getting my shit pushed in by a railgun
>>584556002LACM is far better in sp or Assault, LASM has some niche use in Warfare because ship hp is gigabloated on diff 3. Still probably worse than just stacking cluster bobms on them.
>>584556349They really need to let you pick the SPW for your team. Not only will it shut Jenkins up it also means they can be useful instead of lets give you UGB for a air to air mission. NPC aren't capable of bombing air targets like we can. Better yet just do it like 6 and give them unlimited ammo.
>>584547240A dude on reddit ripped tasha's model and is working on kate

Just 10 days ago they dropped a new Alicorn translation, honestly it "feels" better translated to my ears, and it's a totally different translationWhat do you think?https://lyricstranslate.com/en/project-aces-alicorn-english
>>584556428Nah, LASM does way more damage to ships. You don't really notice in sp or on diff 1 because LACM oneshots everything anyway.
>>584544283Sotoans want to pillage resources and slave labor to work on environmental restoration projects for their homeland. Enso Order is exploiting that drive to try to tear down nations as part of their globohomo agenda.

<< WINGS OF THEVE! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE SOTOAN THREADS! >>
>>584557072Oh of three strikes!!!
>>584557086I'm not that anon, I just wanted to bring that up since people are more likely to get an F-2 with LASM before anything with LACMIt was a pleasant surprise before I just started using the Fullback all the time
>>584557373these goofballs were hilarious>YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I AM TOO QUICK
>>584557435>>584557373You are supposed to blow up the transport planes before them right? That must have been extremely demoralizing
Don't make too much fun of Sotoans or they'll be forced to launch their new superweapon, Sheep22.
>wingmen killed Gemma 1 right before I downed the last nuggetDid I miss some dialogue?
>>584557589That sheep was the most effective attack against RexRay desu
>>584556963>>584557140So 120 damage for LASM vs 100 for LACM. That's an improvement but not a huge one.Not like it really matters since no high tier plane gets LASM and no low/mid tier plane gets LACM so there's never much of a choice.
>>584547240Does rosa have a model in this game or are her few appearances pre-rendered?
>>584557589People laugh but I've seen what they can do in Worms games
Everflow or Hortus Regis Alti?

>>584557934I love everflow but I wish they used it in mission 28
Why can't we take 2x of the same weapon?
>>584558368What do you think no weapon on the second slot does genius
>>584558368>
>>584558368>no, I'd much rather have 2x12 LAAM than 1x24 LAAM
>>584557934Mod when
>>584558503actuallyif it meant i could launch 4 at once instead of two, yeah
>>584558464>>584558503I think he means having it in two slots so you can shoot and then switch weapon and shoot again while the first set is reloading. Sounds very balanced.The funny thing is I actually thought that was how 2AAM would work at first. As in if you took just 2AAM it'd upgrade to 4AAM and be less shit. Turns out no, it's just shit.
>>584558368The sharpest Sotoan mind.
>>584558368
>>584558368Hey Project Wingman allows you to do that.
>>584558658Wing tip mounts never ever
I like to try and find niche uses for some of the wonkier special weapons but genuinely why is the 2AAM a thing when the H(X)AA missiles effectively can do the same thing?
>>584558368Don't worry anon, I made that mistake as well only to realise how it works a mission later
>>584558775Isn't there only like 2 planes that have 2AAM anyway? The Growler and the F-16?
>>584558937Yeah. Though I wouldn't be shocked if we saw it more in whatever planes they add going forward in this game
>>584553698Isn't a competent Morgan with TLS the most efficient plane for intercepting players when you see them gunning for your attacker on the map? They'll just be hauling ass in a predictable straight line if you catch them before they tackle the attacker in a turn fight.
>>584549039No, your teammates are going to be mouthbreathing retards 90% of the time
>>584557837In practice it's more because no attacker gets LACM. Also the reload is lower and you still need multiple per ship.
WHY WON'T THESE MOTHERFUCKERS USE THEIR GUNS ON THE ARSENAL BIRD'S PROPELLERS? I KEEP SEEING THEM JUST FLY ALL OVER THE PLACE FOCUSING DOWN THE STUPID DRONES FOR LIKE 3 MINUTES
>>584559186please do not bully f-2
>>584549039You need to invest in something with gunpods so that you can brrrrrtt massive damage into the Super weapon.
>>584559363wait, you said lacmi am a retardon second thought the f-2 isn't even the only attacker to get lasm so i'm a double retard, shit
>>584559079It feels like all of the multi lock missiles are total dogshit in 8, too. 2AAMs feel like a complete meme.
>>584559509>SAAMdogshit>XAAMdogshit>HPAAdogshit>HCAAdogshitwhy are they like this?
>>584559357"Score go up make brain feel good" is the thought process, I think. Even though, afaik, there is a completion time bonus.
>>584559357>mfw every arsenal bird i just sit on one prop at a time and move over when it explodesFeels like factory work. I pop a few of the interceptors when the shield comes on the last couple times, but other than that, easiest boss of the three, like 90% of it is a single fucking line.
>>584559654For me the real annoyance is the final phase. Coin toss whether the other players realize you need to fly in at an angle to hit the core and not just spam missiles at it at random.
>>584559573It's a consequence of missiles not behaving like they would IRL. IRL basically everything is a combination of a QAAM and a SASM on top of whatever other specialization they have. And they fly differently. Rather than flying directly towards the target, they fly towards where the target will be.
>>584559573HPAA is really good if you sling it in focus mode after switching back on someone, just an instant BLAP, game over, enjoy your respawn countdown.
>>584559573SAAMs aren't bad desu. Worse against NPCs compared to LAAMs as is everything but they still work effectively
>>584559573The way SAAMs will just give up and stop tracking pisses me off immensely.
>>584559760You can generally just sit still underneath the arsenal bird, flying almost parallel to it, while maintaining the lock on the antenna and hitting it with normal missiles.
>>584559654Arsenal bird is nice because even idiots can handle it. Chandelier people have trouble with somehow, Alicorn people take the wrong weapons (or fighters???) half the time, but arsenal bird you just match speed and hold down the button. Anyone can manage that. Never any risk we fail.
>>584559794alright genius but none of these aside from the HPAA were this bad in ac7
>>584559760Hoping they know what to do is what makes Chandelier in particular a fucking nightmare because no one has played AC6 and knows you have to fly down the barrel
>>584559760Yeah it's really crazy people don't get what the differences between the various solid and checkered lines mean. It tells you literally everything, yet still, pooping missiles out overhead.
>>584559573Saam isn't dogshit. They're just eclipsed by LAAMS. If we didn't have LAAMS, then SAAMS would instantly replace them.m in their cancer role.
https://youtu.be/72uHHsZ_JKEHad no idea it will crash if you blow off every other part
>>584559830I wouldn't want to get hit by one of those suckers....
Buddeh, why do planes take years to level up to unlock the next one in 5... It seemed fine at first.
>>584560003Yea but at least SAAMs require some amount of paying attention and the enemy AI actually react to them. They're still less offensive than LAAMs which are currently completely fire and forget and basically a guaranteed kill on AI.
>>584560171There's dialogue saying it'll crash if you just leave it>>584560283Spam Sea of Chaos if you want to just power grind lines
I really wish the role bonuses/penalties weren't a thing. Either that or let us choose boosters in the match lobby instead of before we know what we're fighting. I had to do Arsenal Bird in an SU-34 and only got like 8k points lobbing UGBLs at it.
>>584560804A short popup window as the mission starts would be ideal. Like with Monster Hunter and its tickets.
Can you still avoid helios missiles either by flying low or way above them?
>>584560003Nah, LAAMs are fire-and-forget, that makes them way more useful than SAAMs even if they were nerfed into the ground. With SAAMs, you're committed to the engagement until you hit or miss. There's a reason no one except the dirtiest of dirt poor uses Fox-1s anymore.
>>584560003Nah, I'd think range extended HVAAs would take the place of LAAMs if LAAMs were to be deleted.
>>584559357Low level planes run out of guns extremely quickly. Like a level 5 mirage only has about 30 seconds of trigger time.
>guidance upgrade for standard missiles changes almost nothing>guidance upgrade for SpWs turns LAAMs into QAAMsHere I was wondering how people were getting such results from LAAMs.
>>584558503Hey, sometimes you'd get more. A lvl 20 typhoon can take 30 LAAMs in dual spw mode but merely 48 in single. So 2x 30 would be better and fairer.
I haven't messed around with online yet, is there a chill PVE mode?
>fully upgraded QAAMboat locks onto me>have to abandon all gameplay to dogfight a missile for 30 seconds now
>>584557072>lewds tasha once>ends up in solitary
>>584561485There's coop but it has way too few targets for eight people so it's less chill and more nonstop killstealing. And no way to play with less than eight either, aside from when the matchmaking can't find enough people for a full server.
>>584561485There is a PvE mode but it's boring as sin. You've essentially got maps that can be cleared by 4 decent players but for some reason there's 8 players on them so you run out of targets way too fast and end the mission in 3 minutes.
>>584561485There is a PvE mode but it's not chill. It's a 6 (closer to 4) minute 8 player points race where you won't be allowed to play the game because LAAM spammers will destroy every air target before you get within 5 miles of it and Su-34s and Morgans will nuke every ground target as you get near it. There's not enough target density for 8 players so half the lobby spends 3-4 minutes flying around jerking off watching the targets they're flying towards explode.
>>584561485Scramble feels like that but it's limited. The rest is sweaty kill stealing while they try and have their team come out on top
I'm surprised Mihay's granddaughters didn't show up as pilots.
>>584561806There's a theory M.Stan is one of the Granddaughters.
>>584561695>>584561618>>584561616sasuga japan I guess
>>584562020I kinda thought M.stan was Lonela
Tempted to grind out a MiG-21 for memes just because it gets the Gun+ and MGP+ at the same time
>>584562153>sirage
>>584547595>mavismen CO manages to kill himself despite the advanced AIYou're conveniently leaving out the part that she decided to fellate a pistol after being shot down by Featherhead.
>>584562394I swear one of the cutscene briefing maps shows StonehAnge
>>584562536No, the guy that was meant to be in charge of the squadron. He dies offscreen before they show up.
>>584562579It definitely did, because I remember too.
>>584560171To bad rockets aren't as strong as they were in 6, I just get behind it hold down guns and yaw across its length everything dies in under 90 seconds.
>>584559830I'm dumb, what is focus mode?
>>584560992I lost track of when we swapped over to talking about real life instead of ace combat.
>>584562626Oh, right.Skill issue or Sotoan dog debuff.
>>584562579There are rumors that Jean Cope is originally from SOTAR. Which is double weird because they spell Sotoa correctly on the same page.
>>584562787NTA Focus TargetingWhen you and a team mate aim at the same target missiles receive ESM buff style tracking and speed increase
>>584562579One of the land battleships decide to make a trip to Stonehenge cause reasons that are not explained?
>>584563085They wanted to confirm the typo, I guess
Could that whole 'landship at stonehenge' thing be a DLC setup?
>>584563085cool free railgun ammo
I seem to be stuck between wanting to boot up ACO versus...feeling its completely pointless
>>584562579That was before you drank tea. Battleship 2 stopped at Stonehenge because the captain wanted to give a speech or something. You were tasked with a recon flight to inspect the battleship at Stonehenge. But Enso hacked your refueling drones, and the next time that we see the battleship is at the elevator.

>have all these emotes>Nobody uses them on the airfield>Nobody uses it at the result screen
>>584563085Isn't Stonehenge still the site of a San salvacian military base? Battleship 2 probably just finished steam rolling it as part of the campaign to defeat San salvacion too.
Am I a fag for making up a backstory for my mercenary pilot in ACO?
>>584563674Don't we all do that?
>>584563560No one wants to push an extra button you silly japs thats why every game like helldivers does them automatically
>>584563192Nope. That's the ship you take down at the space elevator.
>>584562914Could be like Sotoa Autonomous Region
>>584563560I've posed next to the dancing Nugget on the stage with the "ready for takeoff" emote before, and do the basic salute anytime someone does the "I'm dead" one
>>584563560You can use emotes on the results screen?

>>584558937With F16 you can send MSL, QAAM, 2AAM, MSL to have 8 missles chasing someone for the memes.
>>584561382LAAMs have the best turn rate of any missle, even better than QAAMs.
>>584574035But not necessarily the smallest turning circle, because of their high flight speed.
