It's because your AI wingmen keeps firing missiles at them, when there are 4 of them your AIs will not bother with your target but when they're alone they are on perma dodge mode thanks to your wingmen, try fighting them near a furball so they target other planes instead

Nearly every major studio that was running their own engine has moved over to UE5, they have no incentive to improve now.

UE5's problems are well known and documented at this point, and they haven't done shit about it. UE6 will be worse and somehow rape your VRAM harder.

>>586577231
Recently commissioned a FxMxF comic involving a lesbian romance short indie animation and had the guy be an Osean. No other greater reason other than because AC8 was released a Month ago and was still fresh.

Just also thought it might be funny.

since someone posted ruby's AC8 review in the last thread: i prefer this one and apparently nobody's posted it already
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN-Z1xTR_mg

it's interesting how people seem to basically split between wanting AC5 or AC0, with a smaller number of AC4 diehards and a side-group of AC3 fans. This review is interesting because it recognises AC8 as being in the tradition of 5, from a 5 hater, while still recognising it's a good game and a big improvement on 7's obvious rough development.

desu i think 4 is almost becoming underrated. it's in that area where it used to be overrated, so people stopped praising it so much, and now it gets less credit than it deserves. it's more low-key than 5 or Zero and that + lots of score attack missions doesn't seem to land with people.

>>586583830
>AC4 diehards
Don't know exactly what these guys want. Downer story everyone dies in the end?

>>586583184

>>586582107
Even back in 7, your allies constantly firing missiles at the Ravens made them go into berserk dodging mode. Meanwhile if you flew far enough away, the Ravens ate shit from max range LAAMs.

>>586583120
AI slop engine might unironically be better than UE5.

>>586583402
The girl in the middle if you dyed her hair and changed her eye color could really be Tasha.

>>586583964
best guess would be less anime than 5 + less downer than zero. 4's pretty grounded (in superweapon fight terms, even compared to zero) and but is basically a straight heroism tale. ISAF never does anything like Hoffnung (zero) but the war was still started by an authoritarian government out of economic desperation, rather than being manipulated into being by evil people who like war (5).
even the mission structure of is pretty coherently grounded in a series of linked overall operations (build up to aegeir fleet, build up to bunker shot, buildup to stonehenge, buildup to farbanti, megalith.) while 5 is more structured around the narrative than the war itself. zero is a little closer, but it winds up feeling a little compressed. (metaphorically: 15 missions of AC4 lead up to the "liberation of directus" part, Emancipation, then the fall of Erusea gets the last 3 missions. Zero does that in 6 missions, then has two more arcs.)

personally I like all of them.

>>586580005
Nanite and lumen are usually the two chief culprits when it comes to UE5 performance issues. Most devs enable it without having a clue how to use it leading to severe optimization issues. If you do strip back a lot of the bloat of the UE5 it does in fact run extremely well its just too many retards with unrestricted access to all the features end up trying to make a game using stuff you should only enable if making a movie.

In fairness the Yak-38 was only ever meant to be a stop-gap/interim aircraft, so the soviets could get a handle on building VTOLs. It was always meant to be replaced with something better.

I thought playable Morgan only gets the ECM in Zero? But yeah, MPBM is the only SpW worth using with the Morgan in Zero; Morgan's TLS is nerfed compared to the Falken's, and player ECM allows you to troll the AI but is nowhere near as strong as the boss version.

DCS' performance is actually more intensive on your CPU than your GPU. IIRC, this is because the engine is still based on what ED developed for their Flanker sims released in the late 90's/early 00's, so the multithreading is horrible.

desu I think Sotoa is the most tragic antagonist nation.
I get the impression their leaders are LARPers and genuinely evil, but that the average people were nomads with a solid culture that's been taken away forever. At best they move on, at worst, LARP and war crimes. and because their leadership took the second option they get no sympathy either.

Despite having a slightly lower maneuverability curve than most other fighters in online, the MiG-31 has the better high g turn modifier that you can also find in the Su-57 or 47, which is why it can keep up or even outmaneuver other fighters with worse high G turns like the F-15C/J, F-16C and Typhoon.
