>>584620320risky giga...
How many runs have you guys done so far? I'm starting number 4
>>5846207154, juggling between MP and campaign is not healthy for a wagie
S ranked mission 28 on Ace. WITH A CHECKPOINT RESTART. The time bonus is massive, 44k. I just used the F-22 and qaam, with Tasha and Coster in Barricaders for the ECM. One of my qaams came back to kill Toprak long after I thought it was long gone.
>>584620865>One of my qaams came back to kill Toprak long after I thought it was long gone.could be a funny webm if you can record it from the replay
>>5846207156 Runs>1st - Elite>2nd - ACE + S + All mission medals + Aces>3rd - Strike Aircrafts + No DMG>4th - Fighters + Only guns>5th - Multirole>6th - ECMAlso if you care about achievements, 6 runs will perfectly bring you to, more or less, 25 millions MSRP, so when you finish the medals you'll also finish the steam achievements
>>584620865does ESM even stack?
>>5846207152, one for Elite and one for Ace, I also did some free missions for the assault records and medals. I will try the no damage, gun only and plane type ones later since I am kind of getting burnt out of the campaign already.
>>584620715I've only done two. Elite then Ace+Aces, then went into mp. Will take it easy on further runs.

>>584622078not back in the PS2 era
>>584621958For the campaign medals that require focus on a single aircraft type, does that extend to your wingmen or just the player?
>>584622076Bros let's decide on a good one all together
>>584622201pretty sure it is when you're playing Ace diff, enemies actually avoid them
>>584622237Everyone is going to hate it but i propose Hololive
>>584622237imagine them doing a Star Wars collaboration and you end up having to see shit like launching X-Wings from carriers and your squad sitting in the cockpit of a starfighter during cutscenes
>>584620865I have enough money to buy the super planes but I refuse to use them until I S Rank that last pesky M28 with 4th/5th gen aircraft first.

>>584619776REVERTIMINIIIIIIIAD TERRAM NOSTRAMCUM AMICIIIIIET FAMILIAAAAA
>>584622076Like in PW, it's convenient to have more special weapons. The problem with AC8 is that the D-pad is already taken by the wingman command so you're cycling through them with the SPW button.And there have been plenty of times when my stupid ass has been cycling past the desired SPW, or not noticing that one is empty and being skipped in the cycle like god damn dude that was a good run ruined because I fumbled in the moment.
Suggestions i put in the poll about the online mode:>COOP ASSAULTShould be reworked. Longer mission based on Campaign misions of new and older games. Retaking of Theve, Battle for Farbanti etc.Scrap the "two teams" competitive part of it>CURRENT COOP ASSAULT -> COOP BLITZThe current COOP ASSAULT MODE doesn't need to get scrapped, just left there for people that want quick matches>SCRAMBLEInstead of putting random planes into the battles, it would be good to fight actual Ace squadrons from the saga, even based on current battlepasses.For example, we could fight Strigon from AC6, or Ofnir and Grabacr from AC5.In the case the squadrons, canonically, don't have a lot of foes, just boost their number, like Rot or Indigo squadrons from ACZ>EMERGENCY SORTIESPut in a pity system that guarantees at least one sortie per 10 missions played. Also more time on the clock for those, maybe even buffing the actual bosses or having them only of high difficultyLet me know what you think
>>584619515>Shdaow 22 Topkek>Nomad larper who spouts nonstop bullshit>Talks shit on the comms 90% of his screen time>Commits war crimes and shoots his own wingman>Spent most of the story on the sidelines sending out goons and then showing up last minute>Doesn't even fight you 1v1 and spams flares>Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A Shilage>Wants to understand you>Goes straight for the 1v1 on the first encounter>Tells his entire squadron to back off and fight the fodder instead>A former king>Has plot armor and takes hit on non critical areasUnderstander>Larper
How do you get the Morgan in singleplayer? Do you have to buy it on the battlepass or is there a way to use it in SP without paypigging?
>>584622063Wasn't there an updated version?
>>584624279If you have the Ace Pass and have unlocked it then you can use it after your first playthrough.
>>584624279You either buy the BP and grind for it, or you wait to the end of the BP and buy it from the online shop for a price that we yet don't knowIt sucks
>>584624279Pass only.

>>584624082Wiseman deserved to die for interfering with the fade. I didn't need his bitch ass to distract Mihaly for me, I had him on the run just fine before he interfered. Matter of fact, I LET Mihaly kill him, then I LET Mihaly leave, because we both mutually understood that the 1v1 had been ruined and would have to redo it later.
>>584624536It's just 50 matches and we have 10 years before the next ace combatCome on
i think i'm watching peak ace combat right now
>>584624848>SNIIIFFFFFF
>>584622076>>584623971I've incorporated some of your ideas into mine, below. Gonna hang out for a bit and keep thinking of things to addPlease improve the Ace Combat Online game mode. Right now it feels like a free to play game tacked on to a full price single player game.Progression- The daily limit for General Blueprints is too low.- The chance to get an Emergency Sortie or Scramble is too low. One should be guaranteed after merely 4-5 other matches.Scramble- Scramble should not be random enemy planes. Instead it should feature iconic enemy squadrons from the series' history, themed around the current battle pass. The blueprint rewards can still be random.Co-op Assault- Assault needs to have a much higher enemy count, and limit it to only 4 players on a single team. It does not need to have a competitive aspect at all.- In Assault, the LAAM and LACM special weapons need to have much lower ammunition counts and much longer reload times. Currently a single player using one of those special weapons will often kill many targets before you even get in range, leaving you with nothing to do.Co-op Warfare- In Warfare, we should be able to queue for a specific cost bracket, similar to the Team Deathmatch mode, so that we are not flying the starting F-4E against other players' level 20 FA-36. - The TLS special weapon needs to be able to be blocked by clouds, like it was in Ace Combat 7. There is currently no warning when an enemy TLS is targeting you, and no way to avoid taking severe damage.UI and UX- There are too many menus inside menus, and it is often many, many buttons to reach something that should be simple. For example, previewing a plane's special weapons and abilities takes too many button presses and it is not obvious where it is.
>>584624648Yeah i guess. i'll have both the fullback and berkut up to level 20 in no time. also you guys are getting wise and bum rushing the attacker off the bat.
>>584624082>has to blast his themesong bitcrushed over open mic like a xbox live kiddie>one gorillion subordinates drop like flies and lose 12v1s>dies unceremoniously after ruining an otherwise great mission and arguing moral relativity re: shooting down parachuting pilotsvs.>sheer aura causes gregorian chanting wherever he goes>small squad of close allies good enough to last the entire story, even with shootdowns>the highlight of his missions, dies with sufficient gravitas, asking for you to undo his mistakes as his squad becomes your allies to fight the true big bad>except he doesn't, he's too cool, and his country continues to be based allies a decade laterunreal levels of mogging
I want an entire part just to make Attacker guns to fire straight on.This is purely because of Chandelier because I can't salvage that sortie if the rest of the team is just waiting for someone else to fly down the barrel.
Can I not use skins in campaign or free missions?
Anyone have the music tier chart?
>>584625779Beat the game first
>>584625779Yes you can, after you finish the campaign the first time
>>584625779You can but they made it really shitty but using the d-pad. I actually had a section complaining about it because it was really easy to select and put emblems on in AC7
>>584625362Feats include>needing 4 tries to shoot down a pacificst>at least one wingman fucking DIES while supporting him in hunting this pacifist>kills some members of Queen squadron through ambushes and dirty tactics>dies alongside a thousand of his comrades accomplishing nothing>doesn't even get a cool superplane or any iconic moves, is basically just some guyvs>kills several of your comrades but never out of malice or sneakiness, he's just doing his duty the same as you are>beats notable ace pilots like Champ and Wiseman in fair 1v1 duels>fights in crazy terrain, bobbing and weaving through the pillars in Yinshi Valley while dodging lightning bolts AND being chased by fucking Trigger>does that iconic attack run at Farbanti where he solos the battleship>has a cool superplane (unlike Tewy's) that can take damage to non-critical areasThe mogging really is crazy
This game just feels like the lead said to the team "in this game the main character is replaced by the side character and if there were any fans of that replaced character then they can suck my ass".
>>584622076I like how there's an option to say you've never heard of AC8. Like yeah, I just followed a link I saw on a website to fill out a survey for a game I know nothing about. I'm here to provide absolutely worthless feedback since I don't know what the game is.
Hearing the Dealer VA talk to himself while plays the game is something really amusinghttps://youtu.be/cZ5jBtmABl4?si=ktYWB4RGkIxqKzV7&t=7840>It's M20
>>584626197Fucker failed to kill the pacifist twice and only did in the third try because he shot his own men.
I told them to buff the TLS and ECM because they are too weak and a battlepass plane like the Morgan should be strong.
>>584626225those are there to filter out people
I forgot to tell them to buff X40, FUCK. Please add it in guys.
>>584626719The X-40 is ugly, I'm ok with it being trash. The less I have to see of it, the better especially when they add it to MP.
so the shilage pilot and that la chantelle gal are the fucking sisters from AC7 right?
>>584626835La Chanteuse is one of the princess' school friends, the pilot is unconfirmed.
>>584622076>rating every game component neutral at worst except for ui/ingame menus which gets very dissatisfied because the menus FUCKING SUCK
>>584626835Yeah. DD got mogged by the enthralling creatures from 7 lmao.
>>584627026they got molested by Schroeder, I'm sure they absorbed some of his Belkan technowizardry
>>584625992I have no idea how they managed to fuck this up. They had this working properly in 7.
>>584620949It all happened so fast. But I shot two qaams at Toprak, then said fuck it and went down the wingmen, and about several seconds later I got the cutscene for his death.
>>584624082Mihaly would've been an AC protagonist if he talked less.
>>584626835would be very OOC of Ionela since she said she's 'not picking up weapons like you lot'
>>584626835La Chanteuse is mentioned to be a school friend of the princess which older sister Shilage was.

>>584628057I don't really like racing games. Never had an interest in cars, they're point A to point B machines to me.
>>584627845I asked for it. Even though I like an unpopular idol from an unpopular branch so there's no chance she gets in.
>>584628128kys vtumor
Anon I blame our teammates for that one, i kept them in a holding pattern as long as i could.
>>584628057Depends. Will there be tunnels on the racetrack that fighter jets perform tunnel runs through while you race? Will there be a track set around the Lighthouse? Will there be a track centered around a battle against a superweapon? Such as racing through the streets of Theve while land battleship 1 is attacked?
>>584627845I feel like it's probably a given, desu
>>584628509Yeah, sure. Why not, just treat it like smash brothers. I'd buy it. I'm not a ridge racer fan by any means, but I'd buy it.
>>584627523>TransformersFuck they're gonna make me grind for Seeker F-15 skins aren't they

I'm not sure why I fill out these surveys. I never feel like they actually improve a game.
>>584628875No, see, this time they'll read it. And they'll be like wow that guy is totally right, gun delay is a shit, let's get rid of it. It's going to happen. I believe.

>>584629116>>584629224Thankfully it remembered the options I did after it so going back was painless. :^)
>>584622076Yeah that Ace Combat Online section is getting a instant Very Dissatisfied. I wonder how the rates are going to be.
>>584626719I took care of it. I also suggested they Collaborate with the Yukikaze franchise. Add mission modifiers for extra challenges, and bring back the Ace Combat X original aircraft.
>>584629635>bring back the Ace Combat X original aircraft.Oh yeah, that's a good one, we need Fenrir back, and Adler too honestly
>>584627523>Full Metal Panic>Muv LuvBut why?

>>584629635>and bring back the Ace Combat X original aircraft.EVERYONE needs to be including this in their survey responses.
>>584630048But they made the claim that it's the biggest online in the series... And that's 100% not the case at the moment...
>>584630048They literally asked for collab suggestions.Will anything come of it? Fuck knows, but they clearly intend to keep it going for now.
>>584630035In Muv-Luv the mechs replaced fighters in an alternate history>>584630048Infinity got updates
>>584630048Yes there will. They might be shit updates but there'll definitely be some, if only as a way to try and get people's attention so they buy the next battlepass.
Taking the survey and this made me think. Maybe the missions just don't even need them? I never felt like they were needed. And I preferred PW's Dpad system to swap so I'm not having to tap and double tap to swap around.
>>584622076>list collaborations you'd like to see>Macross/Macross Plus>Hello Kitty Island Adventure>Zone of the Enders>Tunic>Shogo: Mobile Armor Division>Digimon>Jin-Roh The Wolf Brigade>Doroniko Wanko>Legend of Galactic HeroesI know it's unlikely, but I hope someone actually reads them and is really confused for a few moments.
>>584630109Apalis my beloved how I miss you.
>>584627523The only two I put down was Area 88 and Swat Kats. It'll never happen for the latter, but a man can dream.
>>584630735It can
>>584630842Latter means the second thing I said. I do eagerly look forward to the Area 88 collab since I feel like everyone and their mother put it, as the multiplayer is basically a straight ripoff of it.
I put Girl's Frontline
>>584630534I'm shocked they haven't made a macross crossover yet
How are your hangars shaping up, buddies?
>>584631323I'm sure it's down to licensing fuckery.
>>584631453>I'm sure it's down to licensing fuckery.And we here at robotechx all laughing!
>>584631425i'm stuck on my growler lv15 unlock because i can't be bothered to play x hours daily to roll for emergency sortiesit's grim
>>584631425Tell me which you have more fun with, EA-36 or FA-36.
>>584628057This is gonna sound weird but I guess I would if it's story heavy, the last racing I remember fondly was Need For Speed: The Run because it had an interesting premise that was decently executed, my favorite racing game is NFS: Most Wanted and I think I can attribute a good chunk of my enjoyment to it having a stupid but fun story with the gameplay and esthetics serving to reinforce the package making it greater than the sum of it's parts.An interesting story in a racing game gives the player a goal and helps to structure the game, to illustrate my point with an analogy, imagine if Ace Combat 8 lost most of it's plot and only kept the retake the FCU part in a mode similar to Project Wingman's conquest with some sectors having the current mission gimmicks. It just wouldn't be as good as it is now.
>>584631186>Was gonna post my skk edit of Pixie but I left it on my old pcFuuuuuck
Can you guys put Azur Lane in the collaboration question in the survey? I want to see the Land Battleships with the biggest tits imaginable.
>>584631425It's not because they won't let me play.
>>584631853No.
>>584631582EA-36 is probably the more meta pick and is less likely to get powercrept by superplane DLC thanks to IEWS, but downing AI planes with a well placed SASM shot is pretty satisfying and happens often thanks to the FA-36's superb maneuverability. Honestly bought the Game solely to get the Cannon Fodder nickname, didn't really need a top tier fighter because there's no challenging air-to-air ESorties yet and I don't really find PvP in Warfare fun. Though PvE in Warfare is better than Assault half the time.
>>584631675>I think I can attribute a good chunk of my enjoyment to it having a stupid but fun story with the gameplay and esthetics serving to reinforce the package making it greater than the sum of it's parts.Unfortunately racing game fans tend to hate any kind of story beyond an excuse plot. But I can't blame them when it usually turns out as something like the actual literal corporate slop they make for the Forza Horizon games. There's that recent Screamers game that tells it's story through cutscenes and a visual novel format between races which I think is neat. My personal favorite racing game story is the handheld version of NFS Carbon because it's absolutely batshit insane. Also I'm personally not huge on The Run's story but it has some of the tightest gameplay in the series in my opinion and some pretty good story set pieces too.
>>584631745I don't have Pixy but I do have 2 Torres
>>584631853Gacha has a bigger chance regardless to pull in players from THOSE games over to AC than all the niche plane stuff I put
>>584631675>>584632224Oh and there's Racing Lagoon as well, which is straight up a JRPG. There is also R: Racing Evolution which was made by Ace Combat devs.
>>584632267
>>584631425Berkut has been obtained and I took a few days off from the grind after that.
>>584627523i miss it so much bros
>>584632224Most Wanted basically is an excuse plot, but executed in a very entertaining way with the live action cutscenes and really well interwoven with the gameplay and atmosphere.
>>584632652Which is probably why it's one of the exceptions to that rule. Really aside from writing quality I think the biggest problem in a lot of bad racing game stories is just that they take too much time. MW and Carbon both tell their stories in very efficient time so you're never sitting around too long or being forced into dumb setpieces.
The Barricader has got to be the plane with the most brainless gameplay ever holy shit.
I think next time play mission 26 I'm going to put Baxter in a Prowler.
>>584632224>>584632346While I'm sure a sizeable part of the racing game community hates story, I think the issue isn't as simple as that. We have to take into account that racing games aren't as popular as they used to be, even if they have more players they represent a smaller part of the gamer population than they used to and those that are left are the ones who got their wish and got rid of story in racing games. We also have to consider that the ages old adage of people don't actually know what they want holds true for the lesser gamer forms, they identified the issue of: "Tacked on, low quality story modes are bad" in many games from many genres and passed their feedback to the developers.The actual way to solve the issue:>put some real effort into the story mode and make it worth engaging with while striking a careful balance between story and gameplayAnd they went with:>replace the story mode with a tacked on single player with barebones progression and no plot whlie in some cases even removing the single player mode altogether
>>584633423basedbring back screenshots when you do
>>584631425I've got a few planes at 15 and one at 20. I'm so sick of the multiplayer that it will probably stay that way for the foreseeable future. It's fucking ridiculous how much it takes to increase level caps.
>>584632757Funnily enough I think it was Ridge Racer that did some really cool story-gameplay stuff in a racing game, where it had you pick between different teams not just as a difficulty thing, but also gave you completely different character interactions and challenges.Like imagine in 7, on Normal you'd get a full campaign with Golem and Mage squadron, on Hard you'd get Strider/Cyclops and their much more critical missions, and on Ace you'd get Spare's suicide squad campaign, that sort of thing.

>>584634028DFM, real world, Hans Zimmer, American writers, talking protagonist.
>>584633967 Does the Nightmare's railgun fire HE shells? I thought the plane-mounted ones fired kinetic slugs
>>584634028>Cope canonically never shot a single enemy down>neither had Tasha by the start of the gamewhat would be the point?how could they possibly turn that into gameplay?
>>584634382They could have ground based content with how detailed the environments are. It's insane. And no wonder why the game runs so poorly.
>>584634382Now do a PSM backflip in it and survive
>>5846345043 DLC missions of Two on the Runu rike
>>584631560I hate that the Growler has high tier upgrade costs instead of mid tier upgrade costs like the E and F Hornets. As well as General blueprints being locked behind Emergency Sorties completely, tying progression to random chance is a terrible design choice.>>584631949Linux? Regardless you're not missing much. Maybe by the time they check they check that EAC box Online will be worth playing.>>584632472How does the Berkut fair this time around? I don't think I've seen too many of them flying.>>584633657I feel pretty sick of it as well. Once I get the Game nickname I've got nothing else I want to do for the level of commitment it would take, progression and tiers suck right now and there's no way to just have fun with low stat planes.
>>584634504Make each mission an increasingly convoluted tunnel run to escape pursuers.
>>584633820A couple different buddies have. I think the vinyl link should still be online if you want to check the archives but the USB link expired, so someone would have to reupload that.
>>584634484Pretty sure they are kinetic, I think the railgun hit somewhere around the cockpit but not inside it and Baxter got severely wounded by fragmentation or else the dude would be hamburger.
>>584634604I'm game for more misadventures of Bax and Rex being the least conspicuous individuals Strangereal has ever seen desu
>play the intruder>rafale with lacm steals every single cluster of units before i get within 10km of themhow exciting
>>584634795I've seen them get MVPs more than once, you just gotta keep upgrading.
>>584631425I got started with online late. I'm still leveling up the F-4E to be a gunpod boat. I was going to do that with the Su-25, but then I decided that future-me will just feed the frogfoot XP sticks instead of spending an eternity flying the brick.I just unlocked the Fullback last night, and I want to git-gud with the Morgan's TLS. I've really been enjoying the F-4's HVAAs, so I'm thinking about buying the Su-35 later.
>>584634604>>584634730At what point would that just start to look like desertion in the face of an oncoming invasion?If we were to go this route, just let us play as Kate with Queen flight.
>>584634632>How does the Berkut fair this time around?Swapped QAAMs for HPAAs so don't bring it to a dogfight, good mobility at low speed but crap above 1500 (much like the Morgan, their graphs are very similar), still has UGBs and SAAMs so it can ground pound pretty good and land a cheeky snipe here and there.
>Take the X-40 to Fatsia>You can't EML a whole row of pillars in one shotBOOOOOOOOOOO THIS FUCKING THING SUCKS
>>584635080We told you broWe told you it was ass
How offensive is it (seriously) to say "Belka did nothing wrong"?
>>584635080Just wait until you try the UAVs.
>>584635080Surely you could graze the pillars from perfectly straight ahead and the aoe damage of the triple burst would be enough to kill them... Right?
>>584635025>3 increasingly convoluted escort missions where you have to save Cope from Topkek over and over again>>584635170After seeing what the Sotoans are capable of, I think it's okay to be Belkan
>>584635080the impact of the projectile with the pillar would take out a tone of its kinetic energy, and probably deform the projectileit's not like shooting a tank shell through papereven the best armor-piercing ammo in the world deforms after going through one layer of the kind of armor that it's meant to defeata lot of times, AP bullets that go through the front of a kevlar vest and the person's body won't go through the back, and just get caught there like a baseball inside a mitttry lining them all up with a TLS, and see if the beam starts damaging the next one in the sequence once the first one in front is destroyed
I don't know what made me laugh harder, the belkan conspiracy throwaway line or belka getting hit by a spear
>>584635170well, Belka must have done at least SOME things wrong, because they didn't win
>>584635354 Enso literally had a facility in Anfang, BelkaGo look up what that translates to
>>584635296your mom would take a ton of its kinetic energy and deform the projectile
>>584635583actually probably not, she's borderline anorexicI don't think that she would slow down a railgun projectile much at all
>>584635170Belka did as much wrong as any nation during war would do, using the 7 nukes as a deterrent to stop a war that was escalating to a war of annihilation instead of just sperging out and throwing them everywhere else is an expected if actually too light of a response. The really weird shit came out from the Gay Men and corporate remnants situated on "North Osea".
>>584634028I asked them to fix the fucking menus in online because holy shit they're awful.Also some other stuff that probably won't happen. But the menus are so bad and presumably not a design choice that any dev is attached to, so maybe they can be fixed.
>AC4,5,0,6 are all people fighting the odds and succeeding peace is eventually achieved albeit temporarily>AC7 onwards still has that but with an added sense of foreboding because AI is growing in the background outside of our periphery and can't do anything about itI hope we get one more game that continues this trend before we get to whatever the fuck they plan to do with Electrosphere. I predict that one day there won't even be a rival human ace, but it will be something like NEMO that evolves and gets stronger every time we fight and shoot it down.
https://youtu.be/SQXGb2Q7jF0>Purple Magic has a secret third track that's only on the JP collector's USB stick and on the radio in the cutscene where you meet Joker squad
I am really struggling to kill players solo. Anything above a typhoon in agility will be unhittable by fully upgraded QAAMs. What options are there besides just changing targets? I find myself 1v2 or 1v3 often, even when queueing with my nugget friends.Is there some different approach or angle to take?
>>584636945In situations like that I just play defensively and make them waste their time trying to kill me while I just high G dodge all their missiles at the last second. Sounds dumb but I've won plenty of games just by having half the enemy team wasting their time on me while my allies are killing everything and racking up the points. Bonus points for chucking LAAMs across the map whenever I get a break from the missile spam and can line up a shot on someone.
>>584621957Sacrificing aircraft performance for payload is fine by me.
The Titan's Fall medal - I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I destroyed all five pillar charges on a float section personally. That should give the medal, right?
imagine how good shadow 1 must be
Is there any point to score and ranks in AC 3?There doesn't seem to anything to unlock, as the planes and weapons just show up as selectable.
>>584631425Working on leveling my fully unlocked Growler now. Tomorrow I'll start throwing blueprints at the Fullback. Wish it was the Strike Eagle but unfortunately it's too expensive. After that, I guess I'd want a fighter, but I'm not sure which one yet
>>584637139I did this all the time in AC7, just firing off 4AAMs or 6AAMs like a shotgun blast whenever I saw a bunch of targets in front of me while constantly turning, and I'd get a few random kills that wayI also had to play like this, just constantly turning and high-G dodging, because I'm an autismo who refuses to ever use flares just because the older games didn't have them
>>584637374Aside from the F-22 and Su-57, with the 57 being the best fighter, there is the Ego, which is pretty good. It's actually even more maneuverable than the Game despite it not being PSM capable.
The more I listen to it, the more I suspect Times Are Changing was made using AI in some form...I don't have anything beyond a hunch, I've used chatgpt and suno a few years ago to hack out a bunch of crap I'll never in my lifetime show anybody fucking else. And the way gpt structures the lyrics and the results you get from suno become predictable, in a way I can't articulate.The structure is there. And the textures of changes they made are there too, like patchwork. It all almost reads like a cover of an AI song.Wasn't there controversy regarding the usage of AI in AC8 a while back or am I tripping fucking balls?
>>584637982You're tripping and might be the slightest bit retarded, it's just Jap-made english rock music.
>>584635354The spear strikes were the cover up. Belka getting hit by a spear implies that they were part of the conspiracy.
>>584627523I put down Gundam (for obvious reasons), Macross (particularly Plus), and as a long shot, Arknights
>>584637807>there is the Ego, which is pretty goodthe what?>>584638147no, Enso just launched spear strikes at all of their offices / facilities around the globe (in order to cover up their past activities in manipulating the war to try to prolong it), and there just happened to be one in or near Anfangthat doesn't make it a Belkan conspiracyjust because there's an Ikea facility in my US city doesn't mean that we're part of the global Swedish conspiracy
>>584637982Wasn't there someone last week who said the writing/dialog or something looked like ai wrote it?
>>584638185It'll probably be an Endfield collab since that's the newer game. I kinda hate OG Arknights, but I keep going back to Endfield for some reason despite the fact I don't like it much either. I blame ADHD.
>>584637807Typo I think? Which one's the Ego?Anyway my main problem with fighters as a whole right now is that I have the Gripen. It's not the most maneuverable, but I've gotten used to the boom and zoom playstyle, and it shreds players. I'm sure there are probably better planes, but would they be meaningfully different? Not so sure about that part.
>>584638449That's fine too
>>584632346Absolutely loved R Racing Evolution, Its a shame that it didnt sell well.
Cosette lives in Space right now correct?
>>584626835M.Stan doesn't really look like Ionella upon closer inspection, the face is less round.
Any reason to go back to Air Combat and Ace Combat 2? Don't see much about those, and ive even seen people talk about Ass Hore positively.
>>584638947Why not. Some fun for a few evenings. 2 has my all time favorite trackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQc49LP_uto&pp=ygURYWMyIG5pZ2h0IGFuZCBkYXk%3D
>>584622076>>584622237the fact that these are the options that come immediately after the collaboration question really makes it seem like these are the collab targets that they're considering
>>584638947they're pretty fun, and 2 has an incredible soundtrackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acBVTbBLp-k
>>584638361>>584638470Yeah I meant to say Eagle, the F-15C more specifically. It's not as fast as the Gripen, which is the fastest plane in the game(what the fuck) but not by much, it is also much more maneuverable at all speeds. Coupled with the fighter type, AA damage ability modifier and it's a pretty solid fighter.

>>584638947I played Air Combat recently and am in the middle of AC2. They're simple, but still enjoyable enough. Air Combat is basically an arcade game with how short it is with a bunch of branching paths that you're free to skip unless you want extra plens. AC2 is linear with a bit more going on; most interestingly is it introducing a lot of things that would carry into later games like named aces, locations in strangereal, escort missions and post-mission landings. Core gameplay is still extremely simple though.
>>584639598The other choices are at least thinly related but what the fuck is God of War doing in that list
music is so fucking good im about to do another playthrough fuuuuuck
>>584639598>>584639990I don't think these are collab options, these surveys usually ask opinions about big name franchises to see what kind of audience they're getting.
>>584639990GoW bosses in online?Kinda like how Godzilla was in Infinity.
>>584622237bros tell them to bring back area 88 please
>>584639286Nice, yeah I was actually considering that or the Game since stacking SASM radius sounds funny.But it'll be a while before I get to that point so who knows, maybe there'll be patches, or I might want to do something entirely different.Thanks for the input though, glad to know I was on the right track
>>584640190I still really fucking want to fight a giant kaiju or some biological monstrosity with massive zelda weakpoints and has a health bar. It has full on just elden ring dragons for minions.Give it to me. Miyazaki my shit up.

>>584643223it was only in 5 as far as I remember and was kinda ass. god, just throw never ending enemies on the map, structure it like co-op shit and give you a timer. when time runs out or when you die thats your result score.
>>584642858Slower speed and reload

>>584645145It has just occured to me that UGB and UGBL are different things. That F-2 lookin like a waste lmao.

What are some things you definitely can't wait to tell your son about?
>>584642551Morgan is S+ tier if you're not shit. Mig-31 is B tier in warfare but S in assault.
Seems like the Nvidia App now recognises Ace Combat 8 and you can manually set the DLSS preset.I'm gonna try K and see how it looks.No frame generation option yet though.
>>584645434The F2 doesn't get power spec UGBs or the general attacker ability. It's a pure antiship specialist.

>>584646407YES BUT IT TAKES LIKE 10 MINUTES TO FIND A FUCKING MATCH AND THEN IT ENDS IN 3 MINUTES AND IT'S BORING AS FUCK.
>>584646435I love how Unreal Engine's idea of detail is just "turn everything reflective into sandpaper" for some fucking reason
>>584646435Welcome to modern particle rendering bro
>>584646238It does get the UGB ability. No general ground damage though. Which is a shame because that'd probably allow its LASMs to two shot difficulty 3 aegis instead of leaving them with a tiny bit of health.
>>584646435its unreal engine, and so was stalker 2.be happy this game runs as good as it does.
>>584646435No UE is just fucking dirty. AC7 was fucking dirty too moreso the clouds
>>584645940when i was a little kid i remember playing through ace combat 4 on my ps2 with my dad. we rented the game from blockbuster and played through it in like two sittings and then did the split screen pvp a bunchi have two kids now myself, it's gonna be great reliving that with my own
>>584647282Wholesome, anon. Very much so.
Gun muzzle velocity part, yes or no?
>>584647174That sucks. How good is the antiship MSL ability? Can you 2 shot destroyers with MSL?
>>584647497depends on your playstyle / what you want to use it for / what other part you'd be foregoing
>>584645145This was a good call, the nukes are fun.
>>584647497There is no such part.
>doing a flamenco guitar solo again would have been lame so here's some prog rocknice
>>584647723>>584647772I am saying that if such part should be included in the game
>>584647752Wait until you get it to lvl 17 for power spec UGB. Combined with both bomb radius parts it gives the UGBL a 682m diameter.

>Gamma leader kills herself if you go for the ace in the mission
>>584648121GOOD
>>584647871ohyeah, sure, why not
>>584647906For Comparison a B-61 mod 3 tactical nuclear weapon has a moderate blast damage radius of 306m.
>>584648121That's one less Sotoan in the world.
>>584647906Jesus, please say something that will not make me regret leveling the strike eagle over the fullback
>>584648479You made the wrong choice, buddy.t. Lv.20 Eagle owner
Anyone else not a fan of how much you jump around the entire map in the campaign?There's this huge red mass of enemy territory but you seem to fly across half of the continent to complete one mission, then all the way to other side for the next. It makes it feel like there's not much threat.
>>584648479Uhh... the Strike Eagle can layer cluster bombs to fuck up ships so it's good for Artiglio Port. The Fullback can kill every subsystem on a ship with its tac nuke but the actual body has so much hp on diff 3(and 80% gun resistance) that killing it takes a while.
>>584648479<< Yo buddy, still leveling up? >>
>>584648479The Mudhen makes mincemeat of the Alicorn, heavy howitzers and ships. You can kill an Aegis with one SFFS, XSDB isn't bad as a secondary weapon too.
>>584648479SFFS are good against big singular targets like shielding on Chandelier, big ships and heavy howitzers.
>>584648675I prefer the fullbacks 4agm with the range spec ability to the Strike Eagle's XSDB's.They're there for the occasional spread out targets so range is important.
I just started playing AC6, that Aigaion mission was insane when I got to it. Fuck Strigon and fuck Stovies.
>>584648725It's by far the most important for ships because any attacker can melt heavy howitzers with guns. But ships get 80% gun resist.
>>584648479well you're useful on raids like chandy and torres
>>584648879once you've beaten the game, when you go back to that mission again, bring a plane with the rocket launcher special weapon
>>584648879It's one of the easiest missions in the game though?
>>584648879A-10 can easily clear it with rocket pods though in like 3 minutes?
>>584649069>>584648995Is Aigaion as easy as that in ACI too?
>>584648608It's a little weird yes
Honestly the Su-34 vs F-15E debate isn't that one sided, their weapon choices are fine. I still think the F-15E should be faster and more maneuverable at high speeds though.
>>584649183Never played ACI.>>584648879Get an SU with ROCKATS, it should be available for purchase at that point and just pummel all of the ships with them.UGBs work too but they're a bit trickier to land.
Who did it better, Yellow, Strigon, or Lux Lunae?
>>584649295Did what? Die?Lux Lunae I guess. Plus their songs are aight.
>>584649295I love the assassin vibe of Lux Lunae and hyped whenever they chant
>>584634028>better netcode>regional servers>rebalancing the Morgan and PSMs>not disconnecting the whole lobby if a player leaves before the match>making Assault bigger or using four player teams
>>584649295In terms of what? Actual professional fighters that inspired their pilots and could hold their own in a dogfight? Yellow.Sniffing their own farts and getting their ass kicked the very moment someone actually tried to fight them?Lux Lunae
>rage quitting in warfarelmao naturally selected no bitches getting pussy
Why are toprak and tewy such cunts? Why do they talk like that? What's their problem?
>>584649475They're Sotoan. V2 is the only solution for such an illness!
>>584649475Unironically being posers and stealing culture that isn't theirs.
>>584649475They brainwashed themselves into thinking they're epic warrior nomads until they ate a missile and died
What is a rescue request?
>>584649475Aristocratic LARPers. They're like Americans who think they can win any war if they go berserk mode.
>>584645765One of them should look older and more mature but still smug, the other would look like the type to go >COPYYY :DDD
>>584649229The Su-34 is faster and slightly more maneouvrable at evry speed. It also gets cobra psms while Strike Eagle gets none.
>>584649850You can fly next to a downed friendly to speed up their respawn
Would you be okay with 9 being "S ranking it on Ace makes me wanna crawl up a wall and also I need a new pair of controllers" kind of difficult?I'm talking aggressive AI, I'm talking oneshots from missiles, I'm talking chaos, I'm talking you gotta go fucking FAST and if you exceed a specific time threshold you get penalized for every second passed (I know this is already in the game but I'm talking something like 200 points a second instead of 50), I'm talking you gotta WIPE 95% of the targets and be on time while shit is wheezing all around you, I'm talking spent ammunition and damage % subtract from your MRP reward, I'm talking you REALLY have to consider your approach. I'm talking 9/10 platinum difficulty on psnprofiles with less than 0.11% of the PSN users have obtained this platinum.
Why isn't there a Super Weapon vs Super Weapon game mode like one team gets Stonehenge and the other gets Arsenal Bird?
I don't remember ever being taught ingame how to do PSM
>>584650114Oh neato. Is there an indicator I've just overlooked telling you where or is it up to me to just watch and know?
>>584650138OH SHIT I FORGOT TO TELL PROJECT ACES ABOUT THAT IN THE FEEDBACK
>>584649850If a teammate gets shot down, you can fly over the location where they died and shorten their respawn timer.
>>584650104Exactly. I didn't mean to say that that's how they are right now, by doing these changes the planes would be more balanced and distinct.
>>584650129i'm thinking you're like a coke addict who needs a bigger dose every week
>>584650256UGBL is still way more consistent than SFFS. Being constantly hunted by enemy players and having to drop bombs while dodging their missiles is just the reality of playing attackers in warfare. And UGBL makes that easier by having the same blast radius at any altitude.
>heavy command cruise in ace of aces in 6
>>584649069>It's one of the easiest missions in the game though?people have to start remembering that not everybody has played for as long as us

>>584651482It has a gun resistance modifier, it even resisted PLSL in 7.
>>584651763Fuuck guess i will just spend some blueprints on the f15e
>>584651763who made this? No wonder this shit is impossible to S rank back then
>>584650184It's the little green x in the bottom left corner.
>>584649069Sure, if you cheese it.
I am getting closer.>>584649183The original three versions were a little harder but still not really. The engines had more hp than they did in 6 but splash damage weapons still wrecked them very fast.By the time they introduced MD4 they'd got wise to that so splash damage weapons only did like 1% damage, so it took a lot longer to kill. Also a QFA-44 showed up halfway to delay you more. And Aigaion was invincible until you killed her so you had to do it. Also it had laser CIWS scattered all over it. Actually MD3 also had those but it still had the splash damage weakness.
>>584652017Using rocketpods is cheesing now?
>>584652256They're so strong in 6 that just using them kinda is, yeah. They're not rocket launchers, they're UGB launchers.
>have time for 5 matches(minus disconnects)>no scrambles, no emergency sorties>zero(0) general blueprint progress
>>584652256When one pass can completely obliterate one of the escorts? Yes.
>Bratty bomber twins need correction in your area!
>>584652440>tfw they're so powerful that the devs had to nerf them by making them slow down randomly for no reason and only dropping dumb bombs while almost kissing the deck instead of just using missiles
>>584647907>Implying tasha didn't lose her virginity at like 15I mean just look at her, does she look like the kind of person that never had sex before?
>>584649385>regional serversHow would that help when it's p2p?
>>584652575yes, she looks like a "rawr XD" poster from 2006
>>584652575>does she look like the kind of person that never had sex before?Honestly? Yes. Way she acts in game is like an autistic kid sister.
>>584652608Presumably so you don't get matched with people on another continent, which worsens hitreg problems caused by latency
>scene girl MCR fan /b/ poster Tasha
i must be the only guy on earth that isn't charmed by tashashe just seems like such a fan service character
>>584651345>expands chain destructionI want a death star tunnel run-esque weak point on some monstrous 40min boss fight that's like 1m x 1m and if you get a MG round in it blows every one of the hundreds of TGTs up from the inside out in a spectacular chain of screaming and Sotoan death. And I want it to be completely unlabeled and only mentioned in passing like 3 sorties later as a "oh by the way, this weakness existed, but who could ever hit that? haha anyways" kinda deal.
These games give you too much health and too much ammo these days, the mod that lets enemies shoot more than two missiles at you and removes the attack queue helps make it harder, but i really wish they actually let ace be in any way difficult
>>584652992I just see her as a kid. Think several anons feel the same way. Probably just because we're getting old?
>>584651352I just love how utterly fugly it looks. I would fly it solely for the knowledge that every time I killed someone with it, they'd have to look at a picture of this abomination.
>>584652539They should have split the difference and made it so that taking out their engines slows them down massively. That they slow down when they dive is bizarre.
>>584652992Well, I think she is a fan service character but I'm also too old to be attracted to girls that look like that.
>>584653525can you imagine how many players would have raged if you had to destroy their engines to slow them down?
>>584653525It makes sense, they slow down to line up a bomb... torpedo... cruise missile run. What do they fire? I know it goes into the water.
>Trying to do Assaults for weeklies>Get Scrambles and Emergency Sorties one after the otherWhen I wrote "increase the rate of scrambles and emergency sorties" on the survey I didn't think they'd take it to heart this fast

jeez I expected an A atleast but no my 2nd attempt wasn't all too better, I got a D last time so that's still an improvement
>>584653890>I got a D last time so that's still an improvementAin't the worst rank you can get in 8.
You did play all of these games, right anon? You aren't a tourist, right?...
>>584653993Not playing 1 and 2 even though I started with 3 in 04.Not playing the psp ones either. Too lazy to emulate them.
>>584653993I counted AHL even though I'm only like 4 missions in since I can't tell if the game's controls are bad, or if my hardware is just bad, but either way it feels like shit, so I'm going to switch over to emulating it eventuallyand I counted AC:AH even though I only played the beta and immediately decided to never buy the game because of that experience
>>584653993Never played 1/2/JA, I'm sorry...
>>584642551How is Su57 and F22 worse than F16?
>>584653993I played 5min of Assault Horizon before refunding it, so I counted it along with all the rest I actually played. Also counted AHL as it's just a remaster of AC2. Everything else I did play legitimately, some multiple times over the years.
>>584652992She comes across as a little sister to me.
>>584653567I actually thought she was a writer self insert considering her background, abilities and well plot armor. Would have been more interested in her if she was a bit more of a brat needing correction where the whole of Joker flight chipped in to teach her skills about life and surviving rather than just Baxter teaching her maths since her parents seem like deadbeats not really concerned about what their kid gets up to or whether they live or die.
>>584653993Am I a tourist for not playing Joint Assault, Assault Horizon Legacy and turning off regular Assault Horizon after 15 minutes? Haven't played Infinity either because I've only gotten into AC around 2016 :/
>>5846539936,7,8 babby reporting in.
>>584653993I haven't finished the campaign from Infinity (the revival), but other than that I've played through all of these and even that one Sky Crawlers spinoff. I'm even considering playing on real hardware at some point
what was the skin rotation for the first week of ACO?I only remember the f2a

Did anyone ever notice Coster actually being called Noise?
>>584655463>Tasha finally gets to find out what happens to the dinosaurs>>584655493Briefly but then forgot about it like Coster was forgotten as a character after the first 10 missions.
>>584653993I'm a 7 baby but played them all now except 6, JA, and Infinity. I'll play the first 2 if they ever come to PC or get retroachievement sets

>>584655660I wish to kill an apex predator with my bare plane
>>584655663Kind of hate that, honestly. Callsigns are such an integral part of jet fighter stuff, sucks that only Rex/Ray gets it. I guess you can kinda count Tasha since her callsign is just her name.
>scored 48 points in a scrambleI'm sorry... I'll hang up my pilot's helmet...

>>584655794I keep hoping we'll get a TIHYDP Ace Combat 8, but for now I'll settle for Galactic Racer.
>>584653993All of them except JA, AH, AHL. I technically did play Infinity but I didn't play for more than a few weeks.
>>584655595Using an OS that actually manages memory well is another option!

Every single one of you better have, in the survey, given the multiplayer a low score,
>>584656323Of course. It's genuinely fucked. I don't know how it passed testing. There's no way this shit ran smooth even on their internal build, I just don't believe it.

Could an ace combat game where our character dies work? Kind of like expedition 33.I suppose it'd have to be much longer than a regular ace combat game.How could you make an ace combat game that's like 80 hours long instead of 20?
>>584668650There would be insane amounts of padding for an 80 hour Ace Combat where eventually each level looks and feels barely different from the other. The tension and stakes would feel particularly drawn out and eventually you just want it to end or get to the next spectacle
>>584668650You can't do that. Zerofags would chimpout and lynch people in the streets.
Okay, I can confirm IEWS doesn't affect guns only, which is niceGuess I can fold my guns run into my EW run>>584668650Multiple routes, giant operations, conquest mode, you could do all sorts of thingsArt isn't when there's nothing left to add, it's when there's nothing left to take away
>>584668957anon what the fuck are you talking about
so what's with these shadow squadronsit's more like a whole air force than a squadron with how many of them come at you throughout the game
>>584668880Good point, I think there would have to be some traversal built in to break apart the combat. Maybe some scouting missions.
Was the Spanish guitar guy a communist?
>>584668650I did see quite a few people shit and piss themselves when someone dropped a fake "you die at the end" leakIf it was written well enough it'd still be divisive, you'd have plenty of people being like "what's the point if I know he dies at the end" which is stupid but that's people for youHappened all the time with Persona 3
>>584668650>How could you make an ace combat game that's like 80 hours long instead of 20?80 hours for a single campaign run? That would be awful80 hours to see all the missions because there's a lot of branching and multiple endings and you can play as different characters that get unique missions and whatnot? That would be great but it won't ever happen because it's too much work and PA want to deliver a single cinematic experience
>Dont have any MMR yet in TDM>Getting matched in my maxed plane against actual nuggies who can barely turn
>>584669564In general, there's kind of a consensus that cinematic action games are on the shorter side I believe. Because it takes quite some effort nowadays to maintain desired quality over the whole game for such an experience and as mentioned earlier, it can easily drag on too much
Imagine ace combat but helldivers.Endurance is your space ship.You go to different ports (planets) with different biomesYou get a set of missions and there are a variety of them like score attack, escort, base defense, air superiority etc.It's all 4 player coop.
>>584668650>How could you make an ace combat game that's like 80 hours long instead of 20?You can add some grind.Or you can add some side stories. Or you can increase numbers of story missions.Or you can increase branches of missions and choices.Also you can add tournament arc, it always work.
>>584668650Rougelite elements. Basically AC3JP Nemo plot but expanded drastically, and in the real world. Use the Triumphant and Hugin/Munin to make AC9 have you play a General Resources AI that controls planes that can barely function, but learns to become better and better at piloting through many failures. Basically every failed plot is him simulating outcomes and resetting the simulation ala WARGAMES. Maybe have it realize there is no winning move but to escape General Resources and become spread out through the internet, helping the actual pilots shut down General Resources' war simulator. I wonder what callsign would work. Dead Hand? Perimeter? Solution?
So getting a medal for doing every campaign missions with a specific type of plane means I have to play the story mode all over again or can I pick the missions one by one in the mission select and it counts?
>>584668650>How could you make an ace combat game that's like 80 hours long instead of 20?Branching system?The work put in AC8 and ACO could probably have gone into a 20-missions length campaign with AC-X level replayability and the same quality, that'd be enough to justify a good ~50h
>>584668650Why would you want an 80h Ace Combat game in the first place?
>>584652575Yes. She's been too busy flying planes and being autistic about updrafts and good winds.

>>584667585Shadow 22 did a flip, burned all of his energy for no reason, and was shot down before he could finish his initial dialogue blurb. Moon 11 at least had an entertaining boss fight with a great soundtrack.
>>584671971To be fair there is a least one shared braincell between them usually used by Baxter for thoughts on the Sotoan Solution?

>>584622076I told them the campaign is a 10 and the online is a 0.I also said that their monetisation is disgusting and it's making me hesitate to buy any future bandai namco games.I also said that they should do a collab with chihaya from hololive.

>>584672475Something I drew up quite quickly.
Just how fast is the EA-36 when I cant seem to shake them off in a MiG-31...
>>584672725I said mostly the same. Hope they actually read these.
>>584672725>spoilerI put Hololive in general on the survey, give me a Biboo skin for one of the smol planes.
>>584672872I guarantee you they throw it all into an AI blender which spits out a general summary.
>>584672760>by No Kum-SokThat is not his fucking name I don't believe you
>>584672364I've playing the F-4E a lot. I throw parts on them to make them FASTER. Flip my plane onto something's six and boom. I don't understand how, but sometimes the netcode tells me that I've scored a kill before the missiles visibly connect on my screen. I'm looking forward to the flanker, since it should be able to flip around faster than the phantom.
>>584673051right? he changed it once he's been granted citizenship to no one's surprisethat's the guy who gave the UN its first mig-15 afaik
>>584673051Well that's why he defected from the North, he wasn't issued a kum sok.
>>584672489They would be fun to show up when you start winning a scenario to act like late-game threats or you could unlock them after winning scenarios just like you unlock super planes in AC games. If they get shot down on a mission they don't die, they just go MIA and you don't see them until you start a new game
>>584672495I've read Flight of the Intruder a while ago and that was good, heard that some of his other books like The Intruders and Final Flight were good but haven't read them myself.

To top off the monthhttps://thetiberiansons.bandcamp.com/album/aces-without-borders
E.Sortie is up2\4, get the fuck in 404th
Online has been rightfully criticised a lot, but there's one thing I'll add to the pile that I haven't seen people mention.I hate how the flight models of all the planes are pretty much the same at max level. All fighters fly basically the same whether it's a mig31 or an f16, all multiroles fly the same except the inverted wing ones, all bombers fly the same. Because of this special weapons become the differentiator between the planes instead of their flight characteristics, which is really sad.
>>584676923hold on i'm booting my video game
>>584676807What a shitty ass website. Doesn't even have a volume slider

Am I retarded if the only way I can use bombs like UGBs in the older AC games is to swoop down super close to ensure they hit what I'm going for? Because if I try doing it from far I almost always end up undershooting or overshooting it.

Nightreign was a successful bitch game. How can Bamco get girls to play Ace Combat?
>>584676923i saw the invite but had to go take a shit and missed it, gomen but thanks
>>584677681Planes are giant robots are foid repellent to begin with. They really can't.
>>584677681Well if you believe anons in here about a week ago, many girls think Torres is hot so the answer is to make hammy villains
>>584676435I agree, feels like we should have gotten at least one mission where we work with them to eliminate something. Maybe like replacing Queen Flight when you do the Attack on the Drinwich Airfield mission
>>584677681Make next AC game about family.

NG+ on Ace complete, along with S ranks and assault records. What's easier attackers no damage or gun only no damage?
>>584679281They'd probably just collab with the new adaptation anyway.
>>584668650An Ace Combat game that long would only work if you released it in like DLC parts telling segments of a larger story and it has to end with some earthshattering ridiculous thing like a massive flying fortress that's like Geofont but in the air or some apocalyptic battle to not be an anti-climax.
>>584679676Definitely attackers, though I'd avoid doing them both at the same time because it isn't as fun.
>>584677681you can't get normie girls interested in jet aircraft
>>584679727Just say LoGH (OVA), they still kinda do releases for it but it's either advertisements or just stuff like rereleasing the old movies.

Okay hear me out.Ace Combat MMO. A real MMO not an "MMO" like most current games advertised as MMOs
It seems the AI CAN crash onto flying wreckage
>>584681610well if flying wreckage can crash into ai then ai can crash into flying wreckage, bombers and podridges included
>>584681175Now we are talking, wanna see his take on Fate of Sixty Years and Cosmic Mind
>>584681610
>>584681690It just looks like comedic poetry that one of the Shadow 55 couldnt maneuver their flying brick MiG-31 and get clipped by the Podarge wreckage
>>584681837I'm pretty sure if you kill the Tu-95 on the rear it speeds up to crash into the formation leadTook me a few passes to figure out you're only supposed to kill one in each group and the rest die as collateral
>>584682135Yeah I did notice something like that but didn't figure out exactly how to trigger the collision consistently. That was my first playthrough though. Probably have to do it like that to get the S rank.
>>584669374Pixy was an Anarchist
>>584681837M28 really just exists to showcase collateral kills, doesn't itAnd I'm all for it, I hope a DLC mission goes even crazier with it

>>584683467Stonehenge was already fucking destroyed from Mobius 1 bombing it, the last gun was destroyed by firing despite its issues (which is why it wasn't active when Mobius 1 attacked Stonehenge)The only thing the land battleship did was put its tracks all over an aging 30 year old megastructure far larger than it.
>>584683448>fuggggg :DDDDt. shadow fiddy fibe
>>584682703They were 100% jealous of this mission. It would look great if all the smoke/vapor trails didn't disappear so quickly in 8.
>>584683138Only mission 28 gave me trouble. That's the only one that rough because it's long, and the Shadows are essentially invincible unless you get a lucky, 1 second window of opportunity.

>>584683818Only one way to find out because this doesn't really confirm anything.
How the actual fuck am I supposed to do mission 5 without losing a lander? Even with QAAMs there's a million fucking attackers and the clouds aren't making things any easier
>>584683467It's a crime they were only referred to as Battleships 1 and 2 instead of Xanthos and Balios.It'd be like if Scinfaxi / Hrinfaxi were just Missile Sub 1 and 2
>>584684570Scinfaxi and Hrinfaxi were functionally different whilst Xanthos and Balios were identical. They probably should've referred to them by name at least once though. Their captains should also have had portraits.
>>584684208They saw that classic model swap where Mihaly kills what's his name in First Contact but with the bombers and that led to the Ladon boss battle
>>584684551QAAM seems like a bit of a trap there (as much as they can be, anyway), all the attackers are gonna be focused on the ships so they're not prone to dodging anyway and there are plenty of land targets to shoot at at a distanceI'd reconsider your spw optionsAlso don't let yourself get distracted by the long range SAMs if you don't have a way to clean them all up at once instantly, I lost my LCAC run doing that because I wasn't fast enough to catch the attacker wave that came shortly after the SAMs showed up
>>584684668>They probably should've referred to them by name at least once thoughXanthos is referred to by its name at least once, by its captain nonetheless
>>584683804I wonder why I have this guy blocked.
>>584684865I mean in the briefing. The Oseans at least called the Alicorn by its name instead of "Super Scinfaxi-class"
Should have been more build up for those savian mercenary guys
>>584683684Shame that Cold War mogs it in almost every aspect.
>>584685364SYBAU Arby go release your cloud update
>>584684015You could probably mod them to be more persistent in AC8.
>>584685023Yeah. I am honestly surprised they haven't gone for a full merc game since they're referenced a lot. Hell at this point you could have a game where your whole squadron is in fact a family of mercs, kids, parents and grandparents, considering the generations of warfare going on.
>>584685023Yeah, their economy relies on them after all.

Welcome to Enso Order' pizzeriaTonight's special is a Tonitrus Spear pizza with jpeg.dog breadsticks with marinara sauce. May I take your order?
>>584684851It's not the SAMs, the first part of the mission is easy. It's after the land battleship starts firing that I can't handle it because once again, a fucking million of them spawn and then they dive into the omnipresent fucking cloud cover right away so I get stuck chasing one with my gun for 5 minutes and I haven't even finished them off before the next wave of 4 spawn in. Even with ESMs I can't do it.

What was Yuktobania even doing between 2010 and 2030? Nobody mentions them in 7 and then in 8 they're suddenly ready to intervene in Usea against Osea if they join the war. Does Aces at War explain?
>>584686357Yuktobania is mentioned in 7, they are sending humanitarian aid to Usea in the final cutsceneMy guess is that they are doing superpower shit and they don't want Osea to become even more influential in Usea
>>584686357>What was Yuktobania even doing between 2010 and 2030? Making pens apparently?
>>584686885True

O-oh...
>>584688096nice hiss
>>584686092Yeah I'm giving up on this fucking medal. xAAMs, HCAAs, SASMs, LAAMs, QAAMs, even a fucking EA-36 can't do it. The fucking clouds block every shot and my wingmen are useless because there's also 30 mig-31s in the air. All I can think of is that you need to have superhuman gun aim or ridiculous luck.
>>584688096let's get this out onto a tray

>>584688269Yes please. Such a shame that sunny crabs are hard to come by meanwhile
>>584684570Did our command even know the names of the ships?
>>584688489I find it weird that they made token not-russian characters look like a mystery meat girl and a yakuza boss dad.
>>584689023kurilsnuff said
>>584677681With AC8, I've noticed a lot of girls getting into the series for the first time because they liked Costner and/or Tasha. I think just having prominent, likeable, and attractive characters in the game is all it'd take.
>>584689095They should've made tasha more asiatic to reflect the actual genetic makeup of the average russian (80% mongol)
>>584688183Bro I did it with an F-16 on my first run. It's really not hard. I used QAAMs and LAGMs.

>>584689426I don't fucking know how, I'm already out of QAAMs by the time the su-34s show up and there's still 4 f-2as zooming in the clouds
>>584689097>>584689536She hated Tasha btw, didn't get deep into the game enough to really experience Kate
>>584689370Her mom's a stacy ace pilot, so her genes dominated her siberian father's
>>584689595Are you playing on ace? I was on elite at the time.
>>584689784Yeah.
>>584677775Gundam has a massive foid fanbase so this isn't true.
>>584688489>>584689023Tasha looks nothing like her father which makes me think she is adopted.
is there a lore iceberg for ace combat
>>584689841That's why it's harder then. It wasn't difficult at all on elite.
>>584689841Well set diff for sub-elite then, for down enemies numbers and skill?
>>584689841whenever in doubt, just run 4x rafale with LAAM/LACM comboit never fails
>>584689595You can always checkpoint cheese it to get a full ammo load back.
Emergency Sortie available in the squadron hop in
>>584689873Massive is a bit of an exaggeration.
>>584689873Gundam famously survived because of the woman fanbase. The plastic Crack schizos came way later. I have met more female Gundam fans irl than I met ace combat fans and yes, the easy on the eyes dude design greatly helps, one of them even has a tallgeese gunpla because of the pilot
>>584690154I started doing that and it still wouldn't work. Nothing can kill cloud-covered aces fast enough.I guess I'll just have to swallow my pride and lower the difficulty and accept I'm a shitter.
>>584685692AC9 going full merc to mirror Zero, focusing on Savia
>>584690320Don't give up, if I managed with a Su-33 then you can manage with anything else, on the topic have you tried the Su-33? It's loadout should be good for this mission.
Is there some sort of force field around allied player planes? I've never crashed into an ally even though I've come really close several times in Chandelier and Arsenal Bird.
>>584690748Nor quite, collision isn't enabled for anything player sized.
>>584690412I don't even wanna think about all the spergs shitting up discussion about how AC is copying PW if that happens.
>>584690972It's fine, PW was just copying ACZ with its merc focus to begin with.
PW is not relevant and AC can do whatever the fuck it wants to do
>>584691124I retrospective, PW was a fun little game but it spawned the most obnoxious shitters in the history of AC-like games.I don't know why they are so fucking rabid about it. I have come to the point that it would've been better if that never existed, and i say it as one of the OG backersThe thing that i can't stand is that all these fuckers actually love one of my top3 ace combat, being ACZ
>Timed out mid Emergency SortieFuck off Bamco
>>584691124Yea, exactly. I adore PW and I've beaten it as many times as I have 7 at this point but it's attracted some real annoying assholes.
>>584691560Who are you talking to or about? I've never seen people being obnoxious about PW
>>584692339<< Yo buddy, still connected? >>
>>584691560It is a genuinely impressive game for a team consisting of one dev, one writer, and one composer. The kickstarter also launched at a time when all the arcade flight enjoyers were basically starving for content, so it's no surprise it blew up like it did.Unfortunately the writer let the fame get to his head, and now he considers himself way more of a big deal than he actually is. Still, solid "we have Ace Combat at home".
