Thanks for bred anonContinuing playing air combat on phone.It consumes surprisingly little battery.The game is rather difficult, I'm playing on hard and running out of fuel or missles is a real possibility.The starter F4F is shit. The thing stalls If I try to do a loop without going full throttle.The targeting UI squares seem to be compensating for the lack of resolution. It makes me think the modern ace combat could do with less. I'd at least like to tune down the thickness/brightness of our green squares.
>>585047657i mean 7 and 8 on ace are easier than the ps2 games on normal

Still easier than 4 or Zero on Ace though.

Is the "must have been your mom" line from mission 10 briefing after Nikolai explains the tonitrus spear tech a genuine yo mama joke or was it a script oversight because they intended tasha to be there but the story got changed later?

God damn retaking Theve II looks so incredible, those explosions and fire reflections on the water, man
>>585048023One of my few complaints about 8's missions is the lack of a good "Smash up a fleet for 10 minutes" level. There is that one level where the Baxter thing happens but for some reason you can't skip guiding him back on replays which is annoying.Give me more Maritime Strike PA, my F-2's hungry for more Kuzzy-classes.
>>585047720Apparently it's a JRPG trait to have tons of convoluted menu layers, and it's supposedly a common UI design trend across a ton of Japanese multiplayer games too (I hear Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 referenced a lot). That doesn't make it any less annoying though.
>>585048956>I hear Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 referenced a lotGBO2 has a more functional UI than AC8. AC8's UI is impressively fucking terrible.
>>585048349That sucks, they should have put the LASM on the F-35 or something.I guess I go LASM / 4AAM with LASM range, low altitude, and flare abilities and just try to point farm ai and not die the whole time?
Why are wingman drones called "loyal" wingman drones. They're just wingman drones. They have no loyalty. There are no backstabber wingman drones either. Are they called loyal to make them easier to sell to shareholders/congress?
>>585049037F-35 has LACMs, which are probably mostly as good for ship sinking.
>>585048023Problem with LASM is that LACM is so much more versatile and far more useful 99% of the time. Plus the aircraft that can use the LACM tend to be absurdly good.Like not even kidding LASM does less damage, has less explosion radius, and the aircraft that carry them carry less ammo vs LACM.
>>585049094>Are they called loyal to make them easier to sell to shareholders/congress?We've had a near century of fiction about computers/robots/AI betraying us before technology actually advanced enough for that to be even remotely feasible. Catchy names are 100% about selling an idea to ourselves just as much as selling an idea to the public.
>>585047837I thought for sure with the obsession with numbers and calling shit out beyond the AWACS detection range it'd turn out you were both recovered and turned into a schizo with a neural chip full of transferred memory engrams or something. Was not expecting fighter heaven where everyone turns into ghost birds.

>>585050465>turns away and starts running when youre closer than 8kmWhat now?
>>585049308LACMs get 4k more range, 20 more damage, and larger damage range over LASMs in exchange for a 2 second longer reload. They fuck pretty hard.
>>585050878I always assumed LASMs had a specific buff against ships, do they just do a lot of a single target damage?

The worst parts of the campaign were those retarded moments where dumb cutscenes teleported you behind an enemy and then you shot them with your gun in SLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW MOOOOOTIIIIOOOOOOONNNNNN.What the fuck was with that garbage? It was extremely jarring and felt like yellow paint.
>can larp as fake MaftyPretty funny
>>585051367
Going back to 7 to fuck around and I do have to admit, 8 is a pretty big visual upgrade. I didn't realize it at first but the plane models in 8 are way fucking better. They're much much sharper and more detailed. In particular most ac7 models sort of give up past the surface, but in 8 you can peer deeper into their intakes, trusters, wheel wells, etc. and see a whole ton of extra gibbins. Hell, landing gear itself is leaps and bounds ahead in the detail department. Is it worth the huge performance hit? I dunno, but it does look really good even on low.The other thing is, holy shit, the filtering and color grading in 7 FUCKING SUCKS. Ac8 is mostly pleasant neutral and warm tones, ac7 is so fucking BLUE. Everything has this cloudy filter of blue or green pasted over it at all times. It feels like I'm looking at the game through constant light fog. I don't remember it being that bad.
>>585050965They do get a 50% damage buff against ships turning base 80 into 120, which is more than LACMs. But the latter's blast radius makes it way more useful as a general A2G weapon, and ensures that even if a ship manages to survive its deck will be cleared of any weapons. Still, LASMs fuck ships REALLY hard.

>>585051197>after killing me, they move onto other teammates, and they die immediately>by killing people sequentially, they keep their opponents' score multipliers down>because of this, you can't match their rate of score accrual because their attacker can farm unmolestedThe moral is to never sortie without all your buddies if your MMR is high, because a random might have committed unforgivable sins like not having a Lvl. 20 plane equipped or not having a plane that perfectly synergises with the rest of the team.
:D
>>585052081yo jet got a skinny dick on its nose
>>585051394Yeah what the fuck was that? What did it add to the game?
>>585051895Does the game actually have MMR? I think it just randomly marches you with whoever
>>585051579The performance hit isn't due to the plane details anyway, it's mostly due to the lighting and cloud techs.
>team lets enemy chase me down with impunity for half the match>lets the enemy attacker farm for free
>>585050659Is it even larger than Toronto?
I only care about winning Emergency Sorties, which is why I own the metafag Su-34 and EA-36. Will probably buy a Su-25 once I can free up 10 gold blueprints though. I haven't failed a Chandelier since release week using just the Phantom or Fullback, but DT's shilled that thing hard enough and it'd be nice to fully level all three memepod planes.
>>585051895Good thing I have neither high mmr nor buddies :D
How does this work? I just want 50 more for the weekly.
>>585052591You need something with 1500 base cost for the weekly mission, Total Cost doesn't count because it factors in parts costs.
If you fly ESM jets you're worse than a Sotoan.
>>585052709
I'm a Sotoan and I fly an ECM jet.
>>585052356It does have MMR, because>queue times increase as you win>if you win enough times and queue again, the game may fail to find matching opponents and restart the queue>opponents consistently become more challenging as you queue (I've never met metafags or known compfags in my first match of the day, but I would after winning)>>585052591You need a plane with a base cost of at least 1500 for that weekly. That 1450 (is it a Su-34?) won't do.
>>585052930It is a cute gripen
>>585048687While it's never explicitely stated, it's probably fair to say they either were colonized by the Yukes or were significantly influenced by them through the 20th century...Well Uzbekistan still managed to build (at low rate) IL-76s in the 2010s so it may not be too much of a stretch that they had an industrial basis that Enso invested in>>585051579AC7->AC8 is a bigger visual upgrade than ACAH->AC7 desu
>Mole schizos only come out to graffiti the planes like goddamn gnomes or to scare the shit out of people with gunshotsI love these guys.
>>585053942Such a silly plotline but such competent retards. These guys were probably the first to sign up for UPEO because it meant sticking it to the corps.
>>585053942>Iran has an underground hangar full of PhantomsIs that real?Why is there a random sign that says "think before you act" in English?
Can anybody help me understand the following plot point? In M21 Nagase says the Osean public is in favor of going to war. Baxter says if that happens then Yuktobania will get involved as well. So I was like "hell yeah, we're getting the gang together and we're going to crush these mother fuckers. The world is on our side."But then Baxter says that if that happens (Osea gets involved and then Yuktobania) the war will drag on longer and that they need to end things quickly. DD also loredumps that Enso wants Osea and Yuktobania involved to make the devastation bad enough to permanently dissolve nations on the continent. If the FCU has more allies the war will either be equally long or shorter. More fighting power on the side which is going to win is only an advantage. Osea and Yuktobania getting involved would only make the war longer if Sotoa was about to win, which was not the case by this point. This appears in multiple locations (including one of the most plot important cutscenes in the game) so I don't think it's a mistranslation. The only way this makes sense is if Yuktobania is expected to intervene on the side of Sotoa. But that makes no sense. The last significant interaction between them was a war. Sotoa only industrialized and ruined their land to counter military threats from Yuktobania. Tasha and her dad have no qualms about fighting Sotoans. Yukes seem to get along fine with Osea after AC5 and are basically not assholes anymore, unlike Sotoa who are definitively assholes. Nothing indicates that Yukes and Sotoans would be allies. But Osea and Yuktobania getting involved only makes the war longer if one of them is siding with Sotoa. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a weird plot thread?
>>585054372Yea its real. They use it to hide from burgers.>Why is there a random sign that says "think before you act" in English?Probably set up as a warning to America to not attack them (didn't work).
>>585054372wait until i tell you about who's the only country who ever bought F-14 from the US

what was the civilian casualty count and damages cost of the land battleship in Theve
>>585054503I think it's implied for some reason that the superpowers will want to occupy the ex-FCU territory which will lead to territory clashes and a new osea-yuke war.
>>585054674civil contractors are valid
>>585054503Osea and Yuktobania are rival superpowers.The Yukes would side with Sotoa not because they like Sotoa, but because they need to oppose everything that Osea wants by default
>>585054674less than what happened in france the last few days
>>585054372Yeah https://www.tasnimnews.ir/en/news/2023/02/07/2849772/iran-air-force-unveils-underground-baseThey're not the only ones, the swiss have F-18s inside mountains lol
What's the mellow rock song they play here called? I assume it's a game original, did they record a full song?
>>585054503You're getting the cause and effect mixed up. Enso Order wants a longer, bloodier war so the Oseans and Yukes get sucked in, and in the middle of reconstruction they take over. Usea winning or Sotoa winning is less ideal because there's an intact government in control, backbroken governments requiring intervention from concerned but ultimately less concerned superpowers lets Enso slip in, progress rebuilding Usea as they see fit, and entices the superpowers to leave because things are "fixed" and they no longer have to care.

>>585055152How long has it been since she was relevant? Fifteen years?
>>585053531Pretty!
Bros I love this game.
I get the PS2 era nostalgia thing, but I'm really not impressed with AC8s visuals
>>585054503The FCU was clearly winning by M21, the Sotoan presence in usea depended on the battleshsips and they were gone, the FCU was quickly advancing nd less than 2 weeks later they'd be retaking expo city, with their plans to disable the spears they were expecting to be winning this war within a few weeks, then sign a treaty with Sotoa (well taking down the spears turned out to be a bit more difficult than expected), the involvement of the superpowers at the very end of the war were understandably seen with worry and skepticism by useans

>get the same missions over and over >with people using the same planes over and overThis is just groundhog day.
>>585055750why hide the names of a bunch of randoms
>>585056225Why not?
>>585056225I usually don't bother but felt like it for whatever reason.
>>585054503Did some thinking and it takes a few mental backflips but here's a funny, potentially true resolution. We know the FCU has been around since the mid 90s and their capital is Theve (in the north). We don't know exactly how big the FCU has been over its history, but at the very least it has probably always been in the north. In 1997 Osea offers an alliance to Usean countries in the south. This pisses off western and northern Usea so bad it launches the Usean Continental Chimpout which requires Scarface 1 to do some kneeling on the rebel's necks. Over 20 years later the "IUN occupation zone" (which is pretty much just the Osean military) just so happens to be all of these southern Spring Sea Treaty nations. Background chatter indicates that during the Lighthouse War plenty of Useans supported Erusea's actions and pretty much the only ones who didn't were the ones who wanted economic assistance from Osea. Theve is not in the IUN occupation zone. Osea supported ISAF which the FCU basically organized but pretty much everybody was a part of that (including North Point which has been staunchly neutral ever since). Meanwhile some of the FCU separatists states are for sure in the south (Rio Bajo/Southern Wiapolo). So it would be funny if Theve and Oured have been at odds since 1997 and Osea is actually planning to side with Sotoa to support its traditional southern allies. They even talk about how Osea's plan is to sneak in a "hospital ship" then rearm it once in country, which kind of indicates something sneaky or sinister.
>>585056921This would actually make some sense. There's no reason to assume that Yuktobania is friendly with the Sotoans considering they've gone to war with each other 20 years prior. Sotoa's war with Yuktobania is suspiciously timed with the Circum-Pacific War (perhaps launched in support of Osea or with their conniving?). Osea's had designs on Usea so it's not out of the question that Osea was really looking to intervene on Sotoa's side, and Yuktobania would forestall the ulcer in their flank by supporting the FCU.
>>585056921FCU took part in WW2 and the Endurance is a veteran of WW2, so they've gotta at least be nearly 100 years old.
>>585055398Thank yoy for remindong me to finish that game.

>>585058868i got into 3 scrambles yesterday from the party finder
>>585051394Normies really, really liked itSo i can tolerate it for now
Anyone else surprised the Endurance survived the whole game?
>>585061512No, but also yes. I like that the old girl survived, but I think it would've been impactful for it to be sunk at some point near the end.
>>585061710The near miss with the sub was a good fakeout though, I thought for it'd hit.
>>585061512I figured it might survive since they already did the Kestrel before
>Endurance is probably going to be scrapped rather than turned into a museum ship

I normally never touch MP in any game. Can MP emblems be applied in campaign mode? I really like the emblem system here but it feels a bit limiting to only have AC8 emblems, I like sticking Galm and the like on there. I did briefly see they had girly nose art up in the online shop and if you can use those in campaign mode I'll deal with all the MP I need to.
>>585062958>moon 11 gets her second wind and Hortus Regis Alti starts playing.Absolute CINEMA.Mark my words. M29 was the end of AC8's story. M30 was an epilogue that set the stage for the DLC.

>>585063816>I did briefly see they had girly nose art up in the online shop and if you can use those in campaign mode I'll deal with all the MP I need to.Yes every emblem from MP can go over to campaign. They're mostly paid or in lootboxes though. The pin ups specifically cost 250 funbux, which means you'd need to spend at least 5 dollars to have enough to buy them.>>585063986I can't wait to hunt ancap cryptobros.

Do I even fucking bother or do I just save up for the F-15C? Even with the increased zoll gain this is so miserable.
>>585064179>I can't wait to hunt ancap cryptobros.DLC point destruction mission where you attack an Enso Order data center and Amazon warehouse complex.Enemy radio chatter involves enemy pilots being updated that their stock portfolios are being decimated in real time.

>>585063067Yeah but AC4 Farbanti theme is amazing.The perfect combo in Farbanti Warfare is the AC7 & AC4 themes together
>>585063986Yeah, I've been wondering what they're going to do for DLC. More info on the Sotoan-Yuketobania war is what a lot of people speculate but Enso remaining so cryptic and basically getting away with it even after everything is kind of a blunt or unexpected way to end things.
>>585064481>shoot down a merc fighter>they go down screaming <<TO THE MOON!>>
>>585064426F-15E is one of the best attackers in the game, along with the Su-34. Regular Eagle-C is cool but having a top tier attacker is super useful for present and future Emergency Sorties.
>>585064426Max out your planefu anon
>>585048687Since Sotoa is an anologue of RL Mongolia, sotoa was probably a satellite state of cold war era yuktobania just like mongolia was buttfucked was Soviet Russia and communist china So its not unreasonable that Sotoa was rapid industrialized from their nomad pastoral society by a super power like Yuktobania like
>>585064489And in toronto no less, lmao
>>585051394Assault horizon will never be a memory youll get your shitty zoom-in slow motion shoot mechanic back in AC-9 and youll LOVE IT!!!
>gunning the cockpit does workMission Status: Fucking SICK. I really like how many different ways you can kill the Podarges, Project made committing TOTAL SOTOAN DEATH so much fun.Now to see if it works on the Celaeno.
Being teleported around after a cutscene is genuinely the worst.Happens after the Shark Squadron cutscene too.
>>585064562Yea, I guess I should. I'm still just so bored and the thought of leveling up another plane fills me with dread.
>>585054503For Yuktobania the fear i assume is Osea establishing a continued military presence in mainland sotoa in the case osea would push sotoans right of the usean mainland and into their homelan which is right next to the yukes so i assume they would want to prop up a battered sotoa as a buffer state
>>585065230Well if your next plane is the 15C, you'll be getting into a lot more dogfights with other players, which should spice things up a bit
I wish tasha died instead of baxter
>>585047324
>>585065012I am curious what unguided bombs do to the Celaeno.
lmao
>>585065552I have to admit, the emotional impact would probably have been superior. Bonus if she gets war crim'd as she's hanging with her parachute.But thats not very hope core coded.
>>585064529I had an idea where a Yuke-Sotoan war DLC reveals Tasha's mom was also kind of a fraud pilot, because she isn't actually the one who shot Moon 11 down. Or alternatively, just have us play as her mom. She could be a mute autist where the DLC is framed as Mr. Seversky is telling Tasha the stories because she doesn't like talking about them herself. Or it's Assault Horizon 2: The Strange Real World.
>>585065012>bullets just bounce of the Celaeno's cockpitUnderstandable.>>585065704I'm sure they work (you can bomb the Arsenal Bird in Online), but going off the database they'll only tIckle it because GPBs and Bombs do only 10% damage to Celaeno targets.
>>585062269Endurance was already a museum ship larper, thats why tasha and her dad and DD were aboard the ship when the war broke out they were filming some propaganda shit with the endurance in the background Hell DD probably rented Endurance on behalf of ensoorder for the propaganda filmOld lady will probably go back to being a museum piece they rarely wheel out>Endurance was confirmed to having laid down on WW2>Aces project confirmed WW 2 on strangereal Motherfuckers wheres is my goddamn WW 2 ace combat game
>>585065831>was also kind of a fraud pilot, because she isn't actually the one who shot Moon 11 downThe old pre-phone/pre-web war propaganda? Had something like this in mind.
>>585066148>Endurance was basically the Battlestar Galactica
>>585065831>Inb4 its just blaze again because the Sotoan-yuke war took place alongside circum-pacific war
>>585065808The whole mentor dying for the student to grow trope has been done enough, it would've been a nice subversion for her to die instead. You even see something like that with ventus and gemma. Although funnily enough coster is the one who seemed to get his shit together not tasha.
>>585066254It didn't. Happened prior to the events of 5.
>>585065552>>585065808>>585066286I'm gonna be honest, I wish no one in Joker squad died but the only way that work is if you kill Kate so you have the older mentor figure still die. I'm sucker for the setup personally but I also feel like having a Joker pilot die was too predictable.
Having a bunch of DLC missions that explore various conflicts throughout Strangereal might be an interesting idea. Perhaps it is "the rise of Enso Order/General Resource/Neucom" that's been in the background the whole time.
>>585066451Yeah, they should have killed two.
>sprint in the player hub is left triggerI'm convinced everything about the online was designed to piss you off.
Wait a fucking minute was Nikanor in office during the Soat-Yuke War? >>585066186Yeah maybe it could be a fuzzy recording from a 2010's era cell phone that shows two planes with it framed as though Tasha's mom is flight leader. Or Yuke high command is just inflating her kill count ala the Soviets during WW2.
>>585066451The Sotoa-Yuktobanian War, also known as the Sotoa-Yuk Conflict, occurred sometime around 2010 between the Republic of Sotoa and the Union of Yuktobanian Republics>sometime around 2010 >2010
>>585066546They should've killed all of them and have rex go on a one man rampage
>The only pure co-op modes are complete gambles to even get unless you feel like refreshing a party list over and over again>The other options are either AC PvP (lol) or a """co-op""" mode that's been so utterly min-max'd already that it's a complete slog to play>And also matchmaking on said co-op mode is so fucked it takes upwards of 10-20 minutes to find a single 6 minute gameAll I wanted was a semi-decent online mode...
Would've been cool if the game ended with Rex dying the same exact way Cope did with you playing that mission as a WSO leaving the conflict ALMOST resolved
>>585066736I kneel, but i would miss their glazing too much. That would have been a sight to behold tho. Something similar to mission 20, you just go all in alone, beast mode activated.
EA-36 players are the most worthless loser fucking niggers this game has to offer.
>>585067023I just got it myself and I want to be a loser too. What's the best build for it?
>>585067206You find the nearest bridge and jump off of it.
>>585066681Well yeah, prior to the events of 5 which started in October 2010 and ended on Jan 1st 2011.
>>585067249copeand theve
>During this time, a secret organization began devising a scheme to renew animosities between the two superpowers as the ultimate revenge for Belka's defeat at the hands of Osea and Yuktobania in 1995.>Yuktobania But they weren't even there????????
Unreal how nobody ever does anything about enemy attackers doing this, but I'm ALWAYS hounded the entire fucking game and never get any help.
>>585067764>cope>and theve
>>585067794Su 34 is known for its ease of use, you can fly around and sometimes explode the ground with no effort whatsoever
>>585067023>Make EW their own class>There's only three of them and one of those completely invalidates the others to the point where you're basically throwing for using themWhat *did* PA mean by this
>>585051394>everyone HATED this shit in assault horizon>hey what if we randomly did it like 3 times in AC8?what were they THINKING?
>>585052496did anyone else expect this guy to be the the molethen to be surprised it was just some literal who
>>585068026>implyingBarricader is EW for shitters.ECM completely counters IEWS; no one gets missiles. Then, since your ESM and ECM aren't coupled together, you activate ESM with the Growler's Lv20 ability to give your team super missiles while the enemy team only has normal missiles
>>585068360Or, back in reality, you die on the spot because you're in a shitter meme machine
LMAOMy team actually responded to my pings for help for once and made half their team rage quit. Clouds are hilarious, you just fly in and out of them until the guy either gets smoked by your team (provided they come to your aid) or gives up. Dude in an F-15C got smoked by me once and then alt-f4'd after being killed two more times by team mates. I would assume that they just d/c'd but I watched him explode and then 5 seconds later this happened.
>>585068216The problem is they're taking you out of the game, moving you around the map to fit 'the story', and generally fucking with the arcade aspect of Ace Combat. This game is not CoD, it's got its roots in arcade cabinets. I don't really give a shit about the story after my first playthrough, I care about how high a score I can get for each mission.
>>585063986Am I the only one that thought Moon 11 was a total pushover after Shadow 22?Crimson 1 really ruined boss fights for me with how high a bar he set
>>585068640Tewy was a massively more fun fight than fucking topkek.
>>585068026Should've classified Morgan as ECM
>>585068640Tewy actually respects your missiles despite the unfair aircraft advantage, Toprak doesn't
>>585068640Shadow 22 was fucking ridiculous, just fucking doing cartwheels to "dodge" your missiles. It wasn't hard, it was just cheap.
>>585068350That literal who gave you your helmet when you first reach the Endurance>>585068523>here's how to counter the thing you're assblasted about>no I will just continue to bitch and moan
>>585068932This takes more time than the actual missions.
>>585066191Would have been tragikino if the Enso sub DID hit the Endurance at the end, but rather than killing everyone on board, it did just enough damage to the ship's load bearing structures that she's beyond saving, sinking slowly enough that everyone gets to depart for one last time and watch her go down at a distance. One last circle with Joker flight around the Endurance before she disappears forever, kind of like Admiral Adama did with the Galactica before departing for Earth.
>>585067794I always go after the one plane wandering aimlessly by itself. Killing the ground pounder and wiping their stars at least once is absolutely critical.
>>585068694>>585068773>>585068863>>585068872>stunts on your usean ass without some uber experimental gen 7 attackerNothing personell, Wings
>>585068216It's way less bad in this game. I think they just wanted to show it still had potential. Instead of being an integral part of combat you were forced to engage with, it's just a quasi-cutscene QTE that is pretty much impossible to fail unless you're trying to because lol Tasha death.
>>585069093This won't bring back your nuggets.
>>585068350I thought for sure it was going to turn out they had a backdoor to all their devices and it was everyone's fault that still had EO tech like cellphones or whatever.
>>585069207They all went to the promised land (I am not coping).
>>585069207The Yukies could probably conquer Sotoa in one day after how badly they got raped, theres probably not a single combat pilot left in the country or even a single fighter craft
>>585069321They are all looking up at you from HFIL
All I want is a Warfare's number of targets but for a 4-man co-op mission. Is that too much to ask for ;-;It's so fucked up that Warfare is a better ground pounding experience than Assault
>>585069321Do you go to the promised land if you kill yourself with your own gun after being shot down ?
>>585068360What the fuck are you talking about? Barricader gets like 20 IEWS, and it's like a 5s cool down, them spinning in a circle a couple times lets them pop it again, and then you're dead again. Having them split off from each other is meaningless when the cooldown is basically nothing for IEWS.
>>585068640>Crimson 1You mean worse pixy? Sure it's cinematic at the end but crimson does not compare at all to any of the ace combat ace fights
I appreciated the few Sotoans lucid enough to realize what was going on in M28
>>585069614he's talking about gameplaywise I think
>Ace Combat 8 DLC campaign>it's about stopping some conspiracy by Enso / General Resources that seeks the elimination of all borders and total corporate takeover, which would lead to the AC3 dystopian timeline>final mission where you are about to take out the big bad guy and stop their evil plans forever>ENTERING ELECTROSPHERE>Director of the simulation thanks you for helping them collect data on how they could be stopped, so they can prepare counter strategies in the real world
>>585069614They're both good for different reasons. Crimson 1 is fucking insane and his projection is hilarious. >but crimson does not compare at all to any of the ace combat ace fightsThis is just a fucking retarded statement.
>>585069746and the last mission is fighting the AI assassin designed to counter you?
>>585069828Close enough. Welcome back Einhanderhttps://youtu.be/dTng0WSZhh0?si=niV5eR2YS76DFGiq
>>585069614Gameplay wise hes godly, cinematically its insaneAnd hes become a total monster and he LOVES itIts an excellcnt boss fight with some great music as wellhttps://youtu.be/bh85GHBe6xYBeating him on Mercenary is my proudest Ace Combat achievement
>see posts from normies having a hard time with the land battleshipsshit people are really bad at this game
>YOU SOLELY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS>also your WSO is a whoreHow do you respond without sounding mad?
>>585069719Gameplay wise it's a good fight.>>585069749He has no presence whatsoever and just isn't as interesting as pixy
>>585070085>no diffs you with zero damage
>mfw your health bar pops up next to Crimson's because you're his boss fight
>>585070190>anon can't relate to a character unless he sees his faceSick of you autistic retards trying to tell me about characters tbqh
>>585070268Shit's on the same level as Asura's Wrath final boss having his own QTEs and failing them when you start beating his ass. Or the final boss of Transistor having acces to the same mechanics as you. And starting first. Very cool trope.
>>585070085>*jousts you with guns over and over until you're swiss cheese*
>>585069489At least admit you've literally never played an EW craft in this game before you spout bullshit.>20 IEWSIrrelevant. You literally don't have the time to pop all of them. You don't even have the time to pop all 10 ESM/ECM of the Growler>5s cool downYou have a 16s gap of no-IEWS before they can pop it again.>pop it againThe duration and cooldown of IEWS is exactly the same as ECM. When they pop IEWS you counter with ECM, and both of you are back to guns.Also, since you're talking about multiple uses, that's several minutes of real time, during which either team can have backup arrive. Difference is, your team will get buffed missiles during the gap in enemy ECM, while the enemy team will only have normal missiles during the gap in yours.
>Moon 11 starts saying you solely are responsible for her defeat
>>585070016No wonder they didn't have any gimmick missions like 7 and made most of the missions annihilate. Normgroids fucking suck at plane games.
>melts you from narnia with a gay ass laser then runs you down with MPBMs to do the last 5% of your hpvery fun game design thank you PA
Is MGP really that great for carrying Chandelier? Be honest
>>585070772Having to move around in a 3d plane with restrictions seems to filter a lot of people

it's like looking into my very own Mirror of Erised, I'm going insane without her
>>585070963It fucking SHREDS the armor
>>585071018D-, apply yourself.
>>585068350Naw that Yuke glowed and it was all but confirmed when he stays behind while Tasha almost leaves the ship doubly so when he can just make a phone call and scrounge up Sotoan military secrets
>>585070963the main problem with chandy is how most of your attacker planes machineguns aim down, MGP should be very effective for barrel run but I haven't tried it out myself, not like the game allows you to lab emergencies so its trial and error I guess
>>585068350>did anyone else expect this guy to be the the moleactually yes
>>585071137there was no chance the comfy asian dad would be the moleMeanwhile Jenkins is forced upon you as a friendly guy and throughout the first half of the game he asks a LOT of questions, but I guess it was just a red herring for some guy
>>585070416No like even without a face he just has zero presence whatsoever he's poorly implemented. He has a good final boss fight but it falls flat in terms of story because there's just nothing there connecting you to himI think PW fans are insane
>>585071137I mean his wife was the top Yuky Ace and probably still works as an instructor so it's not like she won't have connections.
>>585071052
>>585071550shitty proportions
>>585071463>just nothing there connecting you to himYou mean besides him and his squadron being a constant thorn in your side and him being responsible for twice snatching victory from your grasp by vaporizing the cities of Cascadia?
>AI gooner slopYou. Solitary.

>>585071758Crimson 1 isn't with them the other times they show up
>>585072418just be japanese
>>585072034Then when Lv.3 abilities come out lmao, its ESM will have 40.56s/42s uptime, because why not
>>585072309Kate needs no such trickery to look beautiful
alt-f4
>>585072534You're right ...
>>585072454he literally does, except the crimson you shoot down other than the last two encounter will never be him, AC4 yellow 13 logic.
>>585072316PW 2 when?
>>585072697They're hiring atm so probably in 2 years to fill in the Ace Combat gap again
>>585072518Whoops, thought we were still praising the Growler. Down with Barrifags!
>lock in first>guy swaps to Su-34 and locks it inI hate people that do this so much. It's just a free loss and a miserable experience every time.
>Tasha fucks off to Commie land>Coster fucks off to make a soundcloud>Rex becomes a WSO to Kate>Jackpot 9 actually does become Joker 2 by becoming King 2.She won.
>>585072957she died though
>>585072957hope she has fun being one shot by megacorp AI fighters
>>585072575Sex with Kate and B. Tan maybe M. Tan too
>>585072697I want to know what The Deal wasPlease don't be "we rediscovered nukes" cordium weapons already have enough gravitas
>>585072803Are they gonna make a new world or something? They kinda fucked themselves by blowing up the planet for shock value at the end of PW.
>>585048319Legit badass and the only Sotoan squadron worth my respect
>>585073082Only cascadia was uber deleted
>>585072097Get a LAAMslinger teammate to third-party the enemy
>>585073082The world survived one calamity, whats another one?Most likely it'll be the same world but Cascadia has been reduced to rubble and the Federation has balkanized due to its insane level of internal strife and the results of Calamity 2Maybe we'll go fuck around in Albion in the ensuring wars to fill in the power vacuum left by the federation
>>585072859Its fine if you have 2 fighters and 2 attackers, personally I wouldnt trust a rando attacker so id still swap if I saw it as balanced.
>>585073220The real chad is the sotoan commoners, and the weakest sotoan commoner is cope, it's only natural for the rest to be chads
>>585073061I'm banking on it being a constitution for a mercenary state. It makes sense why people would be wary of that.
>Crimson 1 wants you to remember him>PW 2 happens>He's now evil Cope in your head, shitting on you for every decision you do
>>585073298Can you even swap off after you lock in?
>>585073290Guess that can work, though the writer looks to have gone full schizo over his Zero knockoff story becoming popular and is writing they/them reader insert Kate fanfiction so I don't think it'll have good writing.
>>585073061Guessing its some means for Sicario to establish and defend a Mercenary state in Oceania
>>585072803Better have more twin seaters and ones that can AoA. I want more cute WSOs that get cute fanart like the canon dyed dirty blond braided ponytail with freckles prez and glasses shorted haired eye-tee
So how is PA gonna handle the single player cut scenes for this thing? Are we gonna see Joker Gang strapped with this thing's built-in VR headset?
>>585073521He already nailed it once, I trust the hopeless romantic
>>585073061the deal was whatever would drive the story forward, it's pulp fiction
>>585070963Yes. I'm a scrub who has a habit of crashing in the tunnel and I still tend to end up having the highest score thanks to MGP's. For me it's the F4 rather than the Su-25, although I suspect that the frogfoot's advocates are correct. I just don't have enough USB sticks to level up the 25 and I'm not going to fly that brick in normal modes.
>>585071603I wasn't expecting Hunter.
Su25 or A10 for the least useless flying brick?
I don’t hate it
Have you guys ever noticed that in sci-fi settings that don't have planes as their central premise (Macross, Ace Combat, etc), the aerial units are always absolute dogshit that would get smoked by basically any 4th gen?
>Shadows 99th Unit (edge of Double Digits, just enough to not get downgraded) used F-22s>Shadows 22 (peak of Double Digits, literal best of the best) used Su-57sWhat did they mean by this??
>>585074061Probably because they were designed to be fought by a guy on foot and not a guy in a jet
>>585073920MGP's are king vs Chandelier and Arsenal Bird. SFFS bombs are king vs Alicorn. Su-25 has both. The Frogfoot is the sleeper king of super weapon fights if you can be arsed to invest in it, and the A-10 is just a brick.
>>585074061Because people who don't care about planes in particular, have no idea about how they work and how they fight. Its true for almost everything actually. Have you seen guns mechanics in games that aren't centered on guns ?
>>585074061they have to be balanced against the infantry that's stuck fighting against themif I were playing Halo and a Banshee could fly at Mach 2 and drop JDAMs on me from a mile above the map, the game would be broken
you'd think tewy would have any interaction with tasha whatsoevernot even a single line about the daughter of ace who grounded her
>>585074179well at least 25 is cheap to raise, might as well later
>>585074185>people who don't care about planes in particular, have no idea about how they work and how they fightthe designers for these games know exactly how planes are supposed to work in real lifethat's just not what they're balancing their game's planes for
>>585074061>it is the 41st millenium>the mig-15 is still a viable threat
>>585074243I assume she simply doesn't know.
>>585074243she thought tasha was too cringe to speak to
>>585074297Most normgroids have no idea how anything works, anon. From cars to planes. But in this case they mostly don't care anyway because they're looking for balance, yes.
>>585074243A mongol warlord and a tiktok e-girl are so metaphysically incompatible that they might as well be aliens to eachother
>>585074478>Most normgroids have no idea how anything works, anon.Not you, though. You're the only smart guy left in this world, surrounded by nothing but sheep and cattle.
>>585074346>>585074354>>585074519all fair but at that point why even have it be Tasha's mom specifically of all people?feels like a missed opportunity is all, unless itll be used as a framing device for the DLC like some people predict
>>585074705Thanks for noticing.
>>585073619I'm actually curious about the lack of COFFIN in 8 considering X happens a year after 7 and we're really close to 3
I simply can't be having more fun playing this game than I am right now.
>>585074782DLC bait
>>585074860Is X40 not a COFFIN variant? It should be a special cockpit to make a disabled person being able pilots again
>>585073619>Implying they're going to do anythingThis garbage isn't getting any updates
>>585074323To be fair, it's the 41st millennium. Apparently, the best and longest-lasting helicopter design is the Hind, but without blades
Someone talk me out of leveling a EA-6B
>>585075826It's just A-6 on steroid
>>585075826you will be looked down upon as a gay boy for using an EW plane
>>585075826Think of how smoothly your low-cost TDM matches will go when your team has ew support and the other team doesn't
What were they smoking when they gave LAAMs twice the turning rate of QAAMs?
>>585076079I watched a pair of LAAMS do three full circles around me on my radar earlier. I
>>585076075>low cost matchesI don't believe it when my F-4E gets put in the same lobbies as Su-57s.
>>585076178I can't believe that the LAAMs circled 4 full times and finally got this guy.
>>585076185I said TDM for a reason anon
>>585055398The worst part of RaidersSphere is the missile alarm sound. Just the worst
>>585056921TLDR, Useans are retarded.
What's your favorite fictional plen, AC aside?
>>585076284The second pair he fired did
>>585076536Mass-production Morgan with all the control surfaces.
What do you guys think that FATO stands for?
>enemy team consists of an EA-36, TLS Morgan, Su-57, and EA-18>team mate alt-f4s If he didn't do it I was going to.
>>585074860The FCU and Sotoa are both too poor for COFFIN>>585075001X-40 is COFFIN and likely uses an early version of the Night Raven's direct neural implant since it's also a DOE fighter.I think he's just confusing COFFIN as a general concept with the ENSI from AC3.
>>585076536This sucker grew on me pretty quick once I'd gotten some grip on the game's mechanics. If the stars align and AC8 has a crossover with Nuclear Option (unlikely to say the least given the game's name and Japanese PTSD), I'm a day 1 buyer.
>>585073619They might just give it a Falken cockpit interior instead. I'd prefer it that way, actually, the VR thing was fucking lame.
lol
>>585070963I mean yes, but mostly because the two MGP planes worth taking to Chandelier are already decent/good groundpounders. The Phantom has alright stats plus UGBs are a fantastic A2G weapon, and as a multirole it doesn't get any penalties for attacking ground targets. The Frogfoot really shines because Attackers get bonus damage to ground targets, SFFS allows damage stacking for the tankier targets present in Emergency Sorties, its MGPs still fire straight and get Attacker multiplier the Phantom misses out on, and while its normal gun points downward the Frogfoot and Thunderbolt get a 10 damage gun with the same rate of fire as the 5 damage gun on most other planes which again gets to make use of the Frogfoot's sweet Attacker buff.A-10 gets shafted so hard in terms of SpW and abilities compared to the Su-25 that it's not even funny.
Was looking at some of the pre-release stuff again and noticed the chanting at the start of Gaffed Card used to be clean like the rest of the track, I guess the intros being live improv with radio interference was a late addition
hows the optimization for AC8?
Am I going to go three days without seeing any superweapon fights? It's more likely than you think. Who greenlit this design?
>>585077739Make sure you're using the party finder between your own matches. There won't always be one available but it's still worth a shot
>>585077425Gameplay runs surprisingly well for the hefty system requirements, cutscenes chug like a motherfucker.
These EXP sticks are almost insultingly shit.
>>585077913They stop being useful past level 3 it's awful
Sorry, I just can't hate Sotoa. Colonialism is based. Latin is cool. The drip is unmatched. Yurts are comfy and sheep are cute. Nobody cares about the Geneva suggestions in current year. Anything Sotoa did "wrong" didn't happen and also they deserved it. Don't hate just because you can't PSM and only brought two flares. Deep down you want to stop resisting and take a qt Sotoan wife Ad Terram Promissam. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
>>585077867Also make sure you make a public party when you get one yourself.If everyone who played was sharing emergencies then gold blueprint scarcity would be solved.>>585077913I think they're meant to be a supplement instead of your main source of experience. You're still meant to fly the plane you want to level.
>>585078097>tfw no pure sotoan steppe waifu
>>585077867I've tried that 50 times and I've never once seen it work. I wouldn't be surprised if it only worked for japs.
>>585077913It's a flat 50 XP per stick. I stopped using mine because it's far more effective to use an XP contract during an Emergency Sortie, I figure it'll be cool two seasons down the line when there's a new plane I want and I can just toss stockpoled zoll/gold prints/XP memories and immediately play a maxed out plane.
>>585066286what ifShe only dies if you kill all the trainees because someone loses it and targets joker squadron specifically for it at the floating fortress
>>585078097This is honestly a big reason I cant give a single solitary fuck about UseaThey got hit by a first strike attack by Sotoa, by all accounts a much smaller and lesser nation, and IMMEDIATELY collapsed and balkanized into a bunch of states that swore allegiance to Sotoa instantly, only being saved by Ace Combat protag plot armor. Usea is a shithole that deserved to be conquered
>>585078356Works for me. Sometimes. It's just that there aren't anywhere near enough emergency parties available to go around since everyone wants them. We must find a way to inform the world that they can and should start parties when they get emergencies.
>>585078110>If everyone who played was sharing emergencies then gold blueprint scarcity would be solvedDid you forget they have a daily limit of 5?>I think they're meant to be a supplement instead of your main source of experience. You're still meant to fly the plane you want to levelI mean yea, but that doesn't mean they need to be fucking awful. Almost 100 of them giving you less than 5 levels is ridiculous. I doubt 100 of them would give you a single level past level 16. I love f2p nigger hell grind in the multiplayer included in my full priced game.
i just don't understand what sort of fictional facts they created that allows sheep instead of ponies to be the mainstay animal of steppe life in strangereal
>>585077425In-game is fine. I get 40fps in cutscenes.
>>585078657Well, it'd be a lot closer to solved. If I'd hit the 5 daily cap every single day so far then I'd be a lot better off than I am now, that's for sure.The planner says it's 1537 experience to go from level 19 to 20 on a high tier plane so that's 31 memories. 137 to go from 15 to 20. 232 to go from 10 to 20. 300 to go from level 1 to 20.
>>585078773Sheep are always the mainstay of the steppes.Yurt and clothing are made of felt and wool. Sheep convert grass into meat, wool, leather and milk.Horses, even ponies need more care and feed.Though grazing territory is all important to nomads after water. Frequently the same thing.The Sotoans talking about how they just cruised the steppes like the wind are nobility. Who are not bound to follow seasonal grazing grounds, the city-folk to who the air-force is prestigious or the southern mountain dwellers who probably are more sedentary for lack of space.
>>585078097Sotoans have aesthetic drip, genuine culture, a strong sense of duty, and a non-bourgeois nobility who have a sort of "modernity is a fuck, billions must die" attitude which I can't help but respect. The FCU by comparison just feels like an hodgepodge of provinces with no real vision or collective national identity which share a border for economic convenience. I'd probably let Tewy have her way if it was an alternative ending option, as destroying global corporations is more heroic than saving Strangereal Toronto.
I've gotten Ace Combat 6's online multiplayer working again, expect a release coming in the next few days buddies
Is there any way to get Shadow skins in multiplayer?

Would you call Princess Cossette a libtard to her face?
>>585079302I read a post earlier that 500 sorties unlocks it for that plane but for whatever reason I doubt that.

>>585079481top kek
>>585079437You get one every time if you play with a maxed out plane. By that I mean a level 20 plane, by the way. If you use your 15/15 plane it's still random and you're still wasting exp. Though a shitty exp stick doesn't stop your reward for maxing out a plane the privilege of not flying it anymore so you're not wasting exp that should be going to a non-leveled plane. I hate this system so much.
>>585079347She's far too earnest to be a libtard and has enough of a brain to not have patience for people who would abuse her kindness. She has a squadron of pilots who will send you to the Promised Land on her order and probably has Trigger on speed dial in case shit gets turbofucked. She's like Relena from Gundam Wing but at least 30% less stupid and not into men who threaten to kill her.
>>585076897Modded plane but I really love the FS-3 Ternion. It's like the super mega hyper F-15 that combines the agility of the F-15MTD, semi stealth of the F-15SE, insane payload of the F-15EX, and then scales it up and throws in a bit of Su-47 Berkut for good measure. Absolute unit. Afterburner sounds amazing too.
>>585079342>has to rely in mercenaries to do most of their fighting>gritThe Federation are bitch-ass bullies who whine when their victims show resistance, but Cascadians also suck. Every Strangereal nation rises to the challenge when their enemy slaps them with a superweapon, the PacNorWest faggots nearly rolled over after a few nukes.
>>585079616I'm not going to waste my time grinding shit planes for the hell of it. Either they fix this shitty system, or online will die off before the third battlepass.
Speaking of PW, Ulanbataar exists and their Khan is a Peacekeeper who shows up for two missions. Now that's a nonad LARPGOD
>>585079616I don't find the experience grind that bad since the gold blueprints have all the planes I care about capped anyway. Flying my only level 20 plane is better than flying a lower level one since at least I get to stockpile 50 xp every time instead of getting nothing.>>585079651>semi stealth of the F-15SETernion RCS is huge, it's not stealthy at all.
>>585080006>The Federation Air Academy is in Mongolianomads sure love their jet fighters
>>585079792They won't fix it. This dogshit is 100% dying in the next three months. The only people left playing will be the worst kinds of autists.
What if there was a typo in the missile stats and the fat-fingered LAAM agility, and it's supposed to have a turn rate of 15 instead of 150?
>>585047720The Japanese are morons. Never understand how the weeb subculture even formed as a culture they're a dead end.
>>585080308Im convinced the LAAM and SAAM are just reversed.
>>585079768The Strangereal superweapons are a nothingburger compared to Cordium bombsPresidia and Prospero are megacities and they likely had casualty rates exceeding 95% after the bombings
>>585047720Thousand apologies, gaijin-san, but please understandu that because this game is meant for consoles, coherent UI design is simply impossibru!
>>585079792Buddy, the first battlepass still have 40 or so days to end, they will be lucky if the MP doesn't die before the second one

Look at this dude.
I am playing ace combat 3. need some helpI get A ranks now but always some B or D ranks in some specific missions.How does the branching storyline work? I already got one ending Alongside Cynthia against Rena, hard hard hard one I had to use the emulator save to do it ngl so ouroboros but now i am on neucom with fiona...sorry i didnt know she was gonna die last time and with these new missions im back to getting D ranks and they are very hard.also is this the only lategame plane...its kinda cool but lame in some waysalso should i just, what i did was i finished the game and then on same profile i started again its counting my total time so not new character and i am just going through the game again, i have to do this for all routes? where the hell is the mission picker ive heard about
>>585080915>forward swept wings>not on the same plane as the center of lift>exacerbating the twisting issuesAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>585081015One thing I really dislike about 3 is the forced plane usage on the final missions. The Su-47 is ok and the Game for GR is great but I like the variety.
>>585081252Maybe when the top part SPEENS it can go on autorotate like a helicopter.
>>585080486I was trying to be optimistic, but I pretty much agree with your assessment from a realistic standpoint. It's hard to even get superweapon fights to fire when you have one ready. The game takes minutes to find 7 other players who were lucky enough to get a proc
>>585081252Since it stays in the air with all wings and engines shot off anyway i'm pretty sure Sotoan engineers just made it wrong on purpose as a joke
>>585079768>has to rely in mercenaries to do most of their fightingmight as well complain that every nation in strangereal is dogshit because the MC does 99% of the work
>>585081015so?also i get super dizzy at times or like a slight headache, this is my first ace combat
>>585081252THAT'S your issue with it?
>>585055398Damn this game is actually hard on "hard"Single missiles are halving my health. Even on Ace difficulty AC games aren't nearly that punishing
>>585081015>I get A ranks now but always some B or D ranks in some specific missions.Prior to 6 ranks are just based on score. Kill more things before you kill all the mission targets, the better your score.>How does the branching storyline work?Five major paths, or rather three plus two. You've already done the Neucom and Neucom Ouroboros route, the other three are the other factions you can join and an Ouroboros version of one of those. Some optional missions are available for specific actions in missions, but the main branches are when you get to choose who to tag along with or not. There's a few charts around that show how to unlock everything, the one on the wiki is fine. >also is this the only lategame plane...its kinda cool but lame in some waysThe different factions have different endgame planes. Ouroboros just uses the endgame plane of the faction it branched off of>also should i just, what i did was i finished the game and then on same profile i started again its counting my total time so not new character and i am just going through the game again, i have to do this for all routes? where the hell is the mission picker ive heard aboutFree mission is post all route completion, and only for ones your Account has personally experienced. Best way to do it is to keep a save on the mission for a major branch and use it to save yourself from replaying all the way up to a turning point, that's why each Account has so many save slots. You'll see basically everything besides some hidden optional missions while you're playing the different routes, and some of the optional ones are pretty cool.
>>585081252What is your aerodynamics engineer opinion on the Banshee in Yukikaze? Comfortably twice the size of the Aigaion btwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MBSrqypm2M
>>585081969A lot of ACs have missiles one shot you on ace so they are that punishing. They've gotten easier in recent times.
>>585081979>Prior to 6Prior to 7, rather. 6 was the last one without a score component, bah.Humbly, I think you've already seen the worst storylines the game has to offer. Cynthia and Fiona are just pretty selfish and don't really bounce off Nemo besides using him it to get what they want. Characters in other routes aren't totally shallow and bounce off of Nemo/each other better. Fi totally deserved to die and Cynthia's just a crazy cunt, fuck those sisters.
>>585082515GR and UPEO routes are both really good stories
Avril pretty sums up every single place in the planet right now. Im in the US.
>>585082978Not anywhere humans are absent.
>>585081979>>585082515Thanks for the reply. Yeah I thought Cynthia was going to be cooler than she really was, also what a pain of a final mission, crazy shooting all reactors flying like crazy. Not done with neucom fiona one but we will see. I am not sure I am doing some tricks right, like turning sharply, sometimes yes sometimes no. i might have to finish this run the way i did it and start over again (for 3rd time) next to get the branching point saves but i dont mind doing it the slow path too, i really like this game.is there any other ace combat with this absolutely great atmosphere? the ost, visuals, story are just so great to me, reason why im playing this one first
>>585082978It's all because borders exist.
Why is everyone in North Point besides Mobius 1 and SkyEye so fucking incompetent?Like other games at least creates the illusion that everyone else is also putting in the work, the ISAF genuinely does nothing while Mobius one saves Usea.
>>585083102>totally not the (((Grey men))) fucking us in the ass
>alicorn fight>DEFEAT>have the most damage by a shit ton>teammates have like 5k scoreThanks. I hate it.
>>585083132ISAF are basically the FCU pre-FCU. I guess that explains how Sotoa completely fucked them until a random helo pilot got thrown into a Hornet
>>585083132Unfortunate reality of Ace Combat writing.Everything is about giving the player the hero treatment, and as a result all NPCs seem incompetent.Like I was watching a vtumor play just for the humor of her lack of skill, and the fact the dialogue doesn't change makes it very obvious.>"Wow, Rex's new flying style is really amazing! We're a totally new squadron!">vtumor crashes into the oceanIt's just the way it is.At least we get some awesome NPCs like the Immortals.
>>585083363>They're spamming missiles at the enemy>the target that's actually locked on is 2k behind them>they don't notice>reads chat>"press triangle!"x1000>holds triangle>looks at locked target way in the distance>releases triangle and continues spamming missiles at the unlocked planes in front of them.
You know the main antagonists being RETVRN larpers and cryptobros working together until the millisecond one side stops being useful to the other is one of the most on point bits of social commentary in the story. It really do be like that. It makes me like DD even more honestly, I'm not entirely sure if he always unironically bought into the Wings story or he moved to believe in it through your actions, but I enjoyed his arc. Also he has a picture of Kono's mug on his shoes.>>585082978I can relate. I'm trying to find my own happiness, really all I can do.
>>585083458I'm actually worried that AC8's success will result in AC9 being explicitly for the casual audience, despite Ace Combat itself always being half arcade game.The last thing we need is another fucking movie game.
>>5850833636 did a great job at making the rest of the army not completely incompetent, it's a shame they gave up on it ever since.
>>585083458>>585083363What the fuck, who are you guys even watching?All the vtumors i know are at the very least mildly decent gamers that happen to be vtubers.
>>585083296>singularities dab on NPC retards>Alicorn dabs on teammate shitters who've never even heard of air to groundI'm sorry for your loss anon, but the Alicorn being such a nugget filter is unintentionally the funniest part of online.
>>585083572Biboo.And while she is playing on pilot difficulty, she is using expert controls - so respect.
>>585083559>6 did a great job at making the rest of the army not completely incompetent, it's a shame they gave up on it ever since.This is solely due to Allied Attacks, honestly. Emmerians are just as bad as anyone else except Talisman is allowed to use them to spam area of effect nukes five times for each mission objective achieved.
>>585083556>worried that AC8's success will result in AC9 being explicitly for the casual audienceWasn't AC7 explicitly made for a casual audience?Anyway i think will be fine, one of the biggest normie internet voices completed the game on Normal and said he loved it as is, so i think the "zeitgeist" will ccept they are simply bad at Ace Combat.
>>585083636That's part of the fun of her streams, she usually learns as she goes. I remember her AC6 playthrough she was getting filtered by Balteus until she finally realized there's no i-frames. Didn't take long after that.
>>585083556Ace Combat has always been casual in its gameplay, and really only kept semi-niche because norms don't care about planes.
>>585083572I don't know. It was some 2-viewer that the algorithm recommended. She spent more time vibing to a huge playlist of music from the franchise than playing the game.
>>585083924Ace Combat has always been casual, but it can get worse. So much worse.
cattle-herding sheep-driving prairie-dwelling fucking NOMAD
>>585084050I'm surprised there were no squadrons themed after cowboys.
>>585083948>She spent more time vibing to a huge playlist of music from the franchise than playing the game.Understandable
>>585083924>Ace Combat has always been casual in its gameplay"casual" is very, very relative hereto a DCS player, it's casual as shitto the kind of gamer who's only used to FIFA or Mario Kart or Call of Duty, it's nearly incomprehensible
I took the Su-25 to the Alicorn fight like you guys recommended, and the railguns were fucking me up. In other planes I could dodge the hitboxes, but in the fatfuck that is the frogfoot I was just fucked if it decided to fuck me in particular. Do you have any tips beyond:>he fell for the frogfoot and should have bought the strike eagle.Does it have a blindspot where it can't aim? Such as directly astern? I'd test it some more myself but god knows when I'll get another chance to fight it.I still topped the damage scoreboard by a shit ton. So I guess arguably it was worth it even if the railguns kept fucking me, but I'd like to improve.
>>585084080Queen 2's callsign is Spanish for "Cowboy"
>Fugg, weekly is I need to kill X with a 1500cost jet.>All I got that high is the Morgan >F-2 is almost there, but I need to level it a bit more.>How much would that cost???>Buy SU-47 instead.Man, I'm really bad at managing the grinds for these jets.
>>585084223I mean on the Sotoan side.
>>585084050>"Typical shitoan, loves bombing civvies almost as much as they love fucking sheep."Did Baxter really need to go that far?
>>585048319>Is shot down>Steals an APC with just his pistol and escapesHonestly, main character material
>>585083572I've seen a lot of vtumors crashing into the ocean and bouncing off because they're on easy mode. They follow the target arrow WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS. The arrow tells them where to go. They don't realize how high that they're flying. They don't know how tight that they can turn. They ate breakfast this morning. They don't know what a spit-S is, but the arrow told them to do one at 200m.
>>585084191Stay close to the Alicorn to use you turn rate and keep circling, the Su-25 dies if you go over 1000
>>585084361The answer is A, right?
>>585084258ohwell then the Sotoans would 1. need to have had an unsettled frontier in their history at some point in order to have even developed a cowboy tradition so that it would even make sense for them to invoke that imagery, and 2. need to somehow not decide that something as rustic as a cowboy was not "beneath them" (which runs counter to all of their traditions seeming elitist as fuck)1 seems doubtful but still possible2 seems impossible, at least given what we're shown
>>585084251Anon...It's gotta be base cost. Berkut costs 1200
>>585084361D
>>585084437please be memeing...
>>585084508>It's gotta be base costSeemed to work after strapping some 100cost parts on it.
>>585083516Video game escapism is how we cope..
>>585084724Oh so that's why he's named that.
I did some experimenting with SAAMs in practice mode. This might be known already, but you don't need to keep SAAMs selected and locked onto the target. Vid related>acquire lock on A-10 with SAAM>launch>immediately swap to bombs>new target is an AA>SAAM continues to track A-10I presume that the SAAM is continues to track my last known airborne target, and that the tracking radar circle mechanic is still in play even though the circle is no longer being drawn onto the HUD.
>>585084361Dee duh
>>585083296I've had a lot more success since I started making parties for emergencies. New players don't think to use the party finder to search for them and don't know how valuable gold blueprints are, so you're pretty much guaranteed relatively high ranks who know what they're doing. With at least four good people any raid is easy.MAKE EMERGENCY PARTIES
>>585084926If you feel like doing some more testing, someone a few threads ago was claiming you can get SAAMs to hit LAAM range.>fire SAAM without lock>swap to LAAM and acquire lock>after SAAM hits max range, it will track LAAM target until out of gas
>>585084926>the tracking radar circle mechanic is still in playThat's the case, yes. The SAAM no longer being able to target two targets at the same time pisses me off, would make it decent in some situations in assault.
>>585085107With a bit of juggling you sort of can strike two targets simultaneously with them. You just need to stagger your shots a bit. Both missiles track target 1, missile 1 splashes target 1, missile 2 changes lock to target 2, and then missile 2 splashes target 2.
>>585085090I unfortunately don't own anything with both LAAM and SAAM. I guess technically I have a Nigger-31, but I haven't limit broken it enough to equip both SPW simultaneously and I don't want to make the expense.I suspect that the player who made that assertion didn't turn away from the target after launching both missiles, and that the SAAM may have merely flown forward on a dumb flight path until his own plane flew within tracking radar range of the target. You can get some extra range out of SAAMs by pre-launching them prior to a lock and then catching a target lock mid-flight. This also lets you completely negate the reduced lockon range downside of the Su-47's ability that increases the size of the tracking circle at the cost of reduced lockon range. Who cares about the reduced lockon range when the missile's flight range isn't impacted and you can simply acquire the lock a moment later after the missile has already spent seconds in flight?
>>585085460Understandable, I wouldn't want to put you out.I've always hated SAAMs, ever since the PS2 days. You have to point at the target for so long since they fly so slow, and they can still miss if the final angle they need to hit at is too extreme. I think I tried it once in 7 and still hated it.Maybe I'll give the Berkut a go though. Gotta love those wings
>>585084926Cool. I love SAAMs for some reason. Was really upset the base Hornet didn't get them
>>585085906>>585086326>>585085107They do feel like they're pretty slow, but that might be partly a mix of my experience in alternatives mostly being HVAA and the turbo-busted LAAM. They do feel very reliable at splashing NPC targets though. The main problem is that you can be forced to burn flares if you take fire while guiding the missile in. A secondary problem are the LAAMboats just facerolling everything on the map. If you're lucky though you can salvage the missile by swapping to a fresh target after a LAAM steals your initial kill.I think that the game-changer feature for the SAAM in 8 is the lock-on-after-launch capability. They're still eclipsed by LAAMs mind you. I'm not trying to argue that they're secretly better. But take a look at this clip. I recognize that apaches are basically sitting duck targets, but it's proof of concept.>launch at 10km. Well outside of my lockon range>stagger my launches over time>Fly into range of my targets>the SAAMs start tracking and killing each target in sequenceI've put it to good effect in Assault battles in situations such as "Destroy the B2 bombers" or the "F117 attackers". Those fuckers are basically sitting ducks and I can start launching against them from well beyond my lockon range and engage multiple bombers. Again the LAAMniggers outperform this with less effort, but I think LOAL SAAMs come in second place for long range bomber target deletion.I've been consistently getting scores in assault mode combining bombs with SAAMs. So far I'm using the level 2 bomb radius part, level 2 MSL tracking, and MSL performance boost ability. Once I level up some more I'm thinking about adding air SPW speed boost part and maybe High G turn boost ability.
Is it possible to implement a Tonitrus Spear on Earth, it seems wonky.
>>585087145It is technically possible, it's just not worth the effort. Regular ballistic missiles are just flat out better.
>>585087145It's possible. It's a space weapon concept that is frequently known as "Rods from God". There's nothing particularly outlandish about the concept. The problems are largely the economic cost of transporting bigass tungsten telephone poles into orbit and the diplomatic concerns of weaponizing space.
Which plane in MP is both maneuverable at high speeds and fairly cheap?
>>585048348They could try ejecting, maybe that would work? After all, pilot doctrine exists for a reason, right?
>>585087145https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardmentNo one wants MAD 2.0. As soon as someone launched one, the entire world would impose extreme trade sanctions on them, and pressure other countries to do the same. Anti-satellite weapons also exist if it seems like the owner country will actually use it
>>585086603interdasting
>>585087474>>585087145Space warfare also has the potential to start fucking over the world as a whole by creating something known as "Kessler syndrome". Basically if you blow up enough satellites in orbit then the debris will start destroying more satellites, which creates more debris, which destroys more satellites, which makes more debris, until you have this huge debris cloud orbiting the planet that destroys all orbital infrastructure and makes it very impractical or outright impossible to put new shit into orbit.
>>585087376F-14D, its by far the most maneuverable tier 1 aircraft, where they only need 10 yellow blueprints to fully upgrade, it also has a maneuverability buff ability that is easy to proc on top.
anyone else think 7 had more of a high stakes feel at the end with the thing about the hugin and munin ai going rogue being painted almost like a human extinction end of the world thing
>>585048687Enso Order needed a patsy and Sotoa was an easy mark
>>585087889Yes. The ending was more satisfying because of that.
>>585087376>>585087838Seconding Super Tomcat for tier 1. But if tier 2 is on the table I will always shill the cute Gripen
>>585088304Looking at it, the F-14A is just a downgrade, isn't it?
>>585088304Unfortunately gimped by being a multirole.
>>585088557It has UGB, so it's an alright multiroll
>>585088557Has a better paintjob and UGB is more useful as anon said. If devs introduced point costs would be absolutely dominating.
Oh holyshit, I just noticed the Su-47 has a tiny magazine for it's cannon. Most of what I've flown uses a 20mm vulcan, so I understand stuff that uses the bigger cannons are going to have less, but like the Berkut is really light on gun ammo. What other jets have small payloads?
Think devs should replace the useless WSO's in planes with the computers you saw in AC7?
>>585089214Most European and Russian aircraft have tiny magazines. https://ac8-database.pages.dev/weapons/mg-x1/
>>585089273It'll be a cold day in hell before I let a m*chine backseat me
>>585089340>https://ac8-database.pages.dev/weapons/mg-x1/Look at the online Su-47 ammo count https://ac8-database.pages.dev/aircraft/su47/#onlineWonder if it's a bug, checking in-game online my lvl5 Berkut only has 244 gun ammo.
>>585089723Oh right yeah online is a bit different all round. I was assuming you meant SP. SP and MP aircraft have different stats.
>>585087709And as we know Kessler syndrome already happened back in '19 with the light house war so nations figured "fuck it, why not" and started weaponizing space
>>585089214>>585089340it's worth mentioning that the damage scales inversely with the ammo pool and fire rate the European and most of the Russian jets shoot slower and have less ammo, but hit harderthe American, Japanese, and fictional jets (and any MiG with a number ending in "1") shoot faster and have more ammo, but each individual shot is weakerso it pretty much evens out between the two groups in terms of DPSthe exceptions are the A-10 and Su-25, who keep the faster fire rate, but with a huge ammo pool, and medium damage (so they actually have the highest base gun DPS)
>Literally could not land a single missile hit online without LAAMsThis is genuinely insane. Worse than AC7 in every way.
>>585090062It's okay nugget you'll get there eventually!
>>585088557UGBs are good in campaign but Fighters get a much more significant debuff to ground units in online. Still, the F-14A's free, cheap to unlock, and fast enough to deliver UGBs early on before you can buy a better ground pounder.
>>585090102F-4 legit makes a better ground pounder. It'll surprise you.
>>585089273why not just make a cute WSO character
>>585090085I will NEVER use LAAMs in PvE

>>585090248thanks OBC-kun
>>585090085Good fucking luck, you can't even close the gap before someone else hits the target with a LAAM, its boring as fuck. Who the fuck is enjoying mashing between targets dropping a single LAAM between them?
>>585090248if you didnt beat pre nerf 22 you didnt beat the game
>>585088984Hornet and Phantom would be much better because their abilities aren't shit. Hornet gets air damage and missile upgrade so its missiles are actually stronger vs air than Tomcat is, and it's way better at ground because it's a multirole. Phantom doesn't get air damage but it gets UGB upgrade so it's way better at bombing.F-14D rocks but F-14A is pretty trash.>>585089214F-35 is pretty small too. Max level F-35 with the extra ammo ability gets 1220 shots. Meanwhile max Raptor gets 1493. Max level Super Hornet gets 1810.It might be related to the F-35's gun being 25mm instead of 20mm but it's not like it gets a damage bonus from that. It does exactly the same damage as a 20mm. It just gets less ammo because fuck it.
I hate it here :(
• Reduced the duration of the following special weapons in ACE COMBAT ONLINE:・ECM・ESM・IEWSzamn
>>585090163What if you could punish naughty wingmen by putting them in the WSO seat?
>>585090248>ECM, ESM, IEWS nerfedTHATS IT!?
>>585090248>casuals got filtered hard enough by the ladon and topkek that they got nerfedLame.>jammer weapons get shorter uptimeFair enough.
>>585090350Need to get yourself a UGB attacker and start slamming out those 100000+ rounds.
>>585090248>Adjusted some display elements in the game screen for ARCADE GAMES. Glad to see them prioritizing the important things...
>>585090248>Fixed an issue where a mission could fail if a wingman used the MPBM on a nearby ground target when the transport plane was about to take off.I was always thinking about this, funny
>>585090248Well, at least they're working on fixing their fucking menus. Even if it's not ready yet they're doing it.
>>585090248
>>585090248>LADON NERFED>SHADOW 22 NERFEDDoesn't suggest they have been nerfed though? What if in fact, they get buffed?
>>585090534To be fair the arcade game code is probably just one dude, it's not like that effort was going to tip the scales in making online not shit.
>>585090248Looks like they only nerfed the Ladon at Elite and Ace difficulty. I wonder what it was doing that made it that much of a problem there specifically.
>>585090746That's actually weird because Ladons are very easy once you know what you're doing. They're only a problem for new players who probably aren't playing on elite and aren't even allowed to play on ace.
>>585090476 But anon that's what I was doing -_-This thing is pretty sweet at killing ground shit. Should I spend my resources and max this out(su-34)Im only at senior master Sargent. Here's my list of owned aircraft
>>585090248>tfw I beat the game
>>585090884Maxing out the Fullbackis worth it. A well equipped attacker is key to 2/3 of the current Emergency Sorties, and it'll still be relevant for half the superweapons they could add.
post those hangars
>>585091539But I don't do online
>>585090394>they're willing to do mp only balance to weaponsLAAM nerf maybe!

I think the F-14A is nice to fly now that I have the mobility part for it I should raise it to 20. She sure carries a lot of flares.
>random ip rangebans forcing me to phonepost or "verify" (feed them more data they can sell)a thousand plagues upon hiroyuki inshallah
>>585090884Sometimes you get a round where the fighters ignore you and you get infinite points. Just need one more of those.Fullback does get significantly better at max level since you get better UGB ability at level 17 and better accel/handling at level 20. But that's expensive. Not as expensive as a high tier but still expensive.>>585091835QAAMs have had different stats in mp since day 1. For some reason.
>>585090248Post >yfw you beat it before the nerfs
>>585092001
>>585092001>>585090585the update isn't until the 23rd, so there's still time
>>585090248>- MISSION 28: Fixed an issue where the radio communication would not play and the game would become unplayable when attempting to redeploy after resupplying weapons.oh, that's nice. I lost an S rank doing that and the mission is so long that I've just shelved it to work on other medals.
>>585092001>beat Crimson 1 before the nerf>beat Shadow 22 before the nerf
>>585092001>S-ranked Ace, did no hit and guns only, all before the nerffeels good man
>>585092001Pre-nerf bros assemble!
>>585090248Are they gonna nerf the ground or random cranes next? Because I already did the beatings and gravity, for my reckless leadfoot ass, was by far the most deadly Sotoan.Glad they didn't seem to touch Moon 11, she's actually really fun on Ace as is.
>>585091539I'm kinda poor RN.
>>585092426Any nerfs made to the game mean Baxter dies looking like more and more of chump. Shame, don't do my boi Bax dirty by making the game easier.
I just realized>we want the gigi andalucia audience
The corpo war in the next game needs to be staged in Wellow, they need to finally answer for their diabolical machinations.
>>585092845Aside from being blonde they don't really have much in common.
>>585092001>didn't get my S-ranks and gun/no damage runs done before patch because life happenedit's so over
>>585092893Wellow vs Nordennavic: The Arctic War
>>585092893Either that or notAntarctica.
>>585092845is this one of those instances where I should be glad that I don't know what you're talking about?
>>585092893>Wellow, they need to finally answer for their diabolical machinations.finally, someone mentions the real menaceglad you buddies haven't forgotten
>>585092956>Misson 5: We found an abandoned secret Belkin base from the war of 95' its frozen but the corpos don't know it's here!>Mission 11: A low altitude night raid under the Northern Lights>Mission 17: You must sink the Mammoth Land Crawler, its protecting the enemy as they rebuild Chandelier, shoot the ice Sabertooth Flight!>Mission 23: Some insane Wellow navy admiral screaming about the weaponized penguins as fighters launch from a super-base inside a glacier, as you do a blue ice tunnel run to bomb the cold fusion core.>Mission 25: Somehow Hugin and Munin have returned.>Mission 28: Those Wellow corpo-dogs totally found our frozen base!
>>585092893>In 2007, Wellow was selected to host the annual G7 Summit, a meeting of the world's most powerful nations to discuss international issues. A neutral, "borderless" area of open water off the coast of Wellow was ultimately chosen as the meeting site. However, the summit was immediately canceled after an attempted terrorist attack occurred in a nearby bay.Oh...oh no...

Is Sotoa supposed to be partly Israel or am I projecting? obsession over promised land and going "we only hit military targets :))" to OBC news after blatantly levelling Expo City
>>585095197>The face of someone who has not done her maths homework
>>585091835Now that we have confirmation the're willing to do this... What's the excuse for X-40 being so shit?
>>585095259Nah they're India. Israel can at least fight.
>>585095197Let's go, Ray! >:|
>>585095259Sotoa's military is a hodgepodge of how a dictatorship fights if it gets enough resources, and you can't really pin that down. For instance, Russia also does what you've said in the spoiler, plus the whole "if at first you don't succeed, default to war crimes" approach to fighting a war.
>female awacs>giggles in joy when you complete mission objectivesPlease PA, thank you
>>585095259>"we only hit military targets :))"this goes back to at least the Romansevery war that they ever fought was "totally self defense guys"everybody wants to paint themselves as the good guys, whether they are or aren't
>>585095602Already established is that the next AWACs is going to be a thirteen year old girl with her grumpy grandpa.
>>585067779They were, you don't really see much of them in zero's early phases but that's why some yukes are in AWWNB in the assault records.
>>585095602have you tried Joint Assault and picked the option to have the Swedish AWACS lady who always sounds like she's telling you a bedtime story?
>>585092001Justice for getting cucked out of beating Elden Ring and Silksong
>>585048023su-57 gets anti ship cruise missiles that are cathartic but less effective overall but more funyou just get less i think
>>585095259>>585095584 (You)Forgot to mention Imperial Japan, too. Both also liked their foreign auxiliaries and puppet states.
>>585076536The idea of a VTOL cargo/attacker/fighter craft is honestly dumb and awesome at the same time.
>AC7 coop mod>PW coop modPS2 coop mods soon, please
Missed opportunity for AC8 or online to not have a skin or an emblem as AC7 completion reward
>>585076536Pelican from Halo is pretty cool
>>585096232Can't sell it on the battlepass if they didn't do that though?
>>585095259>Is Sotoa supposed to be partly Israelyou're ignoring the elephant in the room there buddy
>>585096274They'd make up for it by selling AC7
>>585096323Osea is truly the one behind all wars!
>>585096356I would probably re-buy it on PC for something like that
>>585096356What if you need to buy AC7 in order to unlock it on the battlepass that you pay for?
Do you think Rot 1 survived the latest Dinsmark bombing?
>>585092845Tasha isn't a whore though
>>585095584Yeah now that you mention it that part was probably inspired by Russia and the Ukraine war. One interesting thing I read is that this specific style of flagrantly denying what everyone can see happened is a commonality between Russian and Israeli propaganda styles>>585095617That's true but there's a specific style in how you go about it. Like most NATO countries would say it was a regrettable targeting error or something that massages the truth in a credible way to maintain a narrative of mistakes in a broadly just cause rather than directly contradicting what your eyes can see to insist on an entirely pure one.
Is shader compilation every time you launch the game normal is that just UE5 stuff
>>585095259They're the Ottoman Empire mixed with Mongolia
>>585096004It's fun how basically all enemies in Japanese military franchise have some element of imperial japan in them. I wonder if Gemma hit harder for Japanese players than for westerners
>>585096924I honestly think that what you're noting is way more common than you think, and that you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.Sotoa isn't a direct allegory for the causes that happen to be at the top of your mind right now; they're just a fictional country.
>>585076536>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI8ZDzMCjMI
>>585097015>the Ottoman Empirenowhere near enough slavery and castration for this analogy to fit
>>585076536the yak-15p
>>585092845Huh now that you mention it...
>Load into Warfare>There isn't even a slot for Bravo 1, that's how fast he disconnected>Have to wait out the clock, more than that because it goes on for a while after 0.00>"Someone left, better luck next time :^)"How did they care so little
>>585097080I'm mostly thinking aloud. I don't think Sotoa is an allegory for any specific country but it's interesting unpicking the inspirations that went into it (E.g. Sotoa isn't Russia, but the propaganda of both sides clearly took inspiration from the Russia-Ukraine war, and reflecting on that I'm less inclined to think there was much Israeli inspiration although I'm still interested in the promised land part.) Similarly Usea obviously isn't Ukraine, but it's not hard to imagine where the Wings of Theve came from.that's right, Sotoa
