Coooooopy. :D
>>586827873Morgan is a perfectly fine air superiority fighter even when you're not using the laser. I dont either because fuck swapping to novice controls and fuck using the mouse to play AC. But MPBM is basically a super SASM. You also have great high-g turns, decent standard missles and ECM.
>>586830454>best triangle editionYou posted the wrong pic, anon
>>586830506Alright on the bus you go
>>586830762D:
AC8 is kind of a miracle if you think about it
>>586830684No it's the right picture
>>586830810Especially the multiplayer.
>>586830834Then why does it have a moustache?
I find it strange that something as beautiful and serene as Hortus Regis Alti is the theme of the main villain, a woman who murdered a million innocents.
>>586830684no :D
>>586829687It's not as good as the Fullback. I'm not going to pretend it is. It's worse, I am sacrificing efficiency by using a worse plane that I personally like more, the end. But I usually find it to be good enough. UGB is smaller than UGBL but with how enemies spawn they're very often big enough to catch a whole group so there's no practical difference. And on Artiglio/Farbanti having LASM and the extra missile damage vs ships ability is nice.
>>586831008>rock and roll wins the cold war>rock and roll wins the sotoa-usean warIf you're not listening to Purple Magic right this very moment now, you are categorically evil.
I wish you could blacklist which planes your wingmen get when picking auto-setup. I swear it gives Baxter the Nightmare on purpose every single time.
>>586830684Time to settle this debate!https://poal.me/whl0ezhttps://poal.me/whl0ezhttps://poal.me/whl0ez
>>586831365Yeah, I've had this problem since I claimed Morgan in online. It also adds 4 copies to singelplayer and the auto assign always picks them since they are statistically superior to everything. It's silly to see the whole squadron roll out in Morgans after how the XO goes on about barely having any air force left.
>>586831357Truth!
Bring me TRAFFICSCHIZO
>>586831486I find it more believable that a team of aces flying experimental aircraft managed to completely decimate the Sotoan invasion than them flying Super Hornets
>>586831008They emphasized quite hard how the song and Tewy herself used to be much more pure and innocent until the times and reality have corrupted her very hard
>>586831470typhoon supremacy proven
>>586832026Experimental aircraft from over 30 years ago in universe
>>586832023I wonder if we'll see them return in AC9?
>>586831470>chimeraThis thing? This is not a triangle
>>586832026To be fair they were fighting Sotoans? Probably could have flown Hawks and achieved the same result.>>586832182Powered by Belkan Witchcraft. It would be fun to see if there were comments by enemies if you show up in certain planes
>>586832302Probably added by the same person who thinks this is a sun?
I really like how in AC8 AWACS has line for pretty much every aircraft you shoot down.
>>586832192Doubt it, but I'd love it if they would for sure
>>586832483>looks like we've got some gripens t: pixy
>>586832192Sadly not. They filtered too many nuggets. They'll be gone same way all the gimmicks from 7 are gone.
>>586832302It's a Cranked Arrow Double Delta. Delta, as in Delta wing, as in triangle.The Draken's on the list, that's a double delta too.
>>586832512<<Grippens are using backroads as makeshift runways!>>
i regret dumping xp into the typhoon when realising it's 3rd SW is ground missiles
>>586832302Haters will say this is fake
>>586832643Leveling it up also means getting more ammo and performance out of it. It's an excellent plane for its role, while still being capable of defending itself in a dogfight. Its only real flaw is having a heavy gun in a game with terrible netcode.
for me, it's the Fort Grays Air Base Hangar
>>586832539If it has tailplanes it doesn't count.
I want to see a D&D themed squadron in AC9.>AWACS Beholder>Dragon/Owlbear/Griffon flights>Owlbear 1: Warlock>Owlbear 2: Paladin>Owlbear 3: Rogue>Owlbear 4: Bard
>>586833201That wasn't exactly far off the personalities of Joker flight to be honest?
what would ace combat be like if it had been born as a nintendo franchise
>more than a dozen L-159 flyovers per day for the past several months because everyone keeps dooming about ww3get me out of this
>>586833463Yeah I didn't arbitarily pick the classes
>>586832192I must have done something wrong because I had no idea they were swing wings>>586833201Nah Beholder is the main rival ace of the gameAWACS Barkeep
>>586833539Very furry.>>586833646I kind of want to see them all playing D&D together now and all dressed up for it.
>>586833541I've had couple of F/A-18 flights over my head cause drones flying in to my country's territorial waters from Russia
>>586833819Very cool. I was in Cyprus earlier this year and we had a pair of F-16s sortieing a couple of times a day in case of stray Iranian drones or missles.
>>586833541>>586833819I wish planes flew over my placeBut nothing ever happens in spain
>>586834173>But nothing ever happens in spainExcept the trains crashing mainly on the plains.
what the fuck are you supposed to do against qaams
>>586833664>AWACS BarkeepPerfect. What should all the rival squadrons be though? I presume we're going to get an all female Belkan witch squadron?
>>586834370Literally anything, just don't joust them.
>>586831008missed the point award
>>586832717Wouldn't by that logic the YF-23 and F-22 also be triangles?
>>586835161YF-23 is a diamond, surely.
This is your opposing team in TDMPlease say something nice about them
>>586835161F-22 is desu, but not as much as Chimera
>>586835603How the fuck do you lose to this? Were they hacking?
https://x.com/mamu_200/status/2118286553483203002>They just outright blow you up if you take too long to take off in M14 Kek
>>586835604Neither is a triangle no matter how much you try to force itFuck off.
The Gemma squadron encounter should've been Mavisimen in the Barricader buffing her teammates. And they'd have coordinated attacks but only one pattern.
>can I recognize>brand new times>my people are divided>the nation once united>collided>heaven knows who to side withAlso that opening riff and then harmonica live rent free in my head now
>>586835952I wonder what cope people will come up with when F-47 has canards
I got put in a lobby with only Japs and it was some wholesome, everyone was using the quick chat and attack orders.
>>586836870Did it inspire you to paint your face yellow and squint your eyes and eat nothing but flied lice and eggs?
>>586836996I'm already yellow.
No cheevo for completing ACZ assrec?
>>586837042>FinnSo did you dress up as Astolfo for them?
>>586837195I prefer this stereotype more.
>>586837042Finland gets an honorary pass for Moomins.
>>586835952wdym? The raptor is a delta wing. A "clipped delta wing" to be precise.Still a delta wing
I'm guessing we haven't crossed 2 mil
>>586838470We only need a million!
Juden. First time seeing this pop-up? Is it new?
>>586839182No, you're just not very good at getting emergencies.
>>586839313I got lucky today, 2 e-sorties within 3 missions.
>>586838470But was the launch elegant?The answer is yes
>>586839004where's the collab you fuckersgive me my collabi told you in the survey i wanted a collab so do it
F-14D vs MiG-31B in MP
>>586839693MiG-31 is statistically the better plane especially with QAAM but you'll be called rightfully a faggot for flying one.
Am I the only one whom Tewy reminded of The Boss? They're entirely different characters but there are some superficial similaritiesThe Boss>"The Mother of Special Forces" who trained whole branches of the army and invented CQC, considered a living legend>Known for an all-white military combat suit>Has ties to a shadowy organization who were behind the entire events of the game>Has a complicated relationship with the main character who ends up killing herTewy>Effectively the Mother of the Sotoan Air Force, she's trained all the Shadows, her approval is the highest honor, considered a living legend>Known for an all-white military uniform>Has ties to a shadowy organization who were behind the entire events of the game>Has a complicated relationship with *a* main character whose host ends up killing her
>>586839380Good job getting better at getting emergencies. Except now you can't get any gold blueprints for the next sixteen hours so there's no point getting more.This game is well designed and the devs are not stupid.
>>586839760>foxhound has better maneuverability than tomcat but lower top speedthese fucking deeeeevswhat is wrong with theeeeeeeem
>>586840108Foxhound is legit one of the slowest aircraft online. It's opposite in SP of course but MP was like they threw shit at the wall and saw what stuck.
>>586839767I don't know who the boss is
>>586840469Try to remember some of the basics of CQC
>>586840469Try going to the gym.
>>586840469Bro...
>>586839767>whose hostGood to know I am not the only one who thinks Cope is a fucking parasite
>>58683969314 is cheaper has looks cooler on top of having a cooler special skin.Then if you want to continue LAAMing graduate to a Typhoon.If you want to dogfight pick up a 15 or 16 into a FA-36 or Su-57
>>586841057Cope to me was a coward. He claimed to be a good man but a good man doing nothing while evil runs rampant is complicate in said evil. He at the very least should have been imprisoned for treason for refusing to fight against Sotoa.
After a month of radio silence, I can finally return to reading and posting in Ace Combat threads.I’ve just finished Ace Combat 8 and I’m still in tears10/10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sQXBAvRrzk
>>586841268Are you crying because you can't bomb Sotoa to the ground anon?
>>586841248>complicatecomplicit*Fuck I need sleep.
>>586840785Thank you for giving me an opportunity to post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZrtOyV36Ik
>>586841383Perhaps they’d deserve it, but I don’t think it’s fair. The desertification of their land is hard enough as it is. On the other hand, I’d gladly have shot down any private aircraft carrying members of the Enso Order
>>586831470>No Skyray
>play for two straight hours>get three Scrambles>not one Emergency Sortie>need literally one more E-Sortie to finish the Week 5 setI want to hit Japan with V2.
>>586814271I need to find a buddy...
I S ranked the whole Ace merc, solly and knight missions but I don't get any medals, how do i fix this?
>>586841268>>586841918You need to hate Sotoa more
>>586842513You fix this by bombing Sotoa
>>586836094It's basically an understanding of geometric principles where all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles or squares. In this case rhombuses contain triangles as demonstrated in previous posts
>>586831165>What your wingmen see at the start of every mission.
Have they confirmed a DLC campaign? 8 desperately needs one.
>>586839773Sorties still yield lots of exp and Zoll especially with the booster contracts, unless that was nerfed.>>586839767Whoa, I came to that same conclusion and was working on formulating my own take on it. The final fight feels more like an epilogue to tie up loose ends rather than a try hard skill check even
>>586842380that's just a lame vulcan
>>586841648No problem buddy!>>586842380Well why don't you add it anon? The option is there?>>586843069> << Rex will engage the shad- oh he's already off? >>>>586843217No. I don't think we will get one till the turd that is online mode is flushed away.
>>586842529I-I can't.... not right now
>>586843713Let the Baxter flow through you anon!
put everything except for radio lines and the music, then I can get a bunch of poor souls to test the balancing for me
>>586835717Take one in warfare go find out how much fun you can have with it. Also only carrying gunpods
>>586845026is that a brand new mission or are those extra enemies on an existing mission?
>>586842451>November>Still not using the party finderAnon...
>>586843302>Whoa, I came to that same conclusion and was working on formulating my own take on it. The final fight feels more like an epilogue to tie up loose ends rather than a try hard skill check evenOh cool wasn't just me then :)Yeah her fight wasn't hard, Shadow 22 was way worse with his infinite flares and kulbits. Definitely more of a cinematic/story boss fight, I agree.
>>586845026if 8 gets a wyvern i hope to fuck it's the original one, not the ugly one from 7
>>586845256It's for the coop mod, it's an extra phase tacked onto mission 11 when you destroy all platforms and the fleet. I looked into bootstrapping a mission but there's so much groundwork to be done so I put that off for now.
>>586839645You know what buddyI did tooI want to troll the other 7 players by getting MVP in an F-4 Idol plane
>>586845438>Not letting Kate get a missile hit on 22>Not letting Noise and Tasha use guns to kill him as you bait him into PSM'ing with a missile.That is the true way to shoot the LARP'er down.
>DLC missions are set during the Sotoan-Yuke war>Play as Moon 11>Yukes are full on villains, Moon 11 starts out idealistic but grows hardened over the missions as Sotoa is left to desperately fight alonethink it could work?
>>586846663I was just thinking the other way around, we play as Tasha's mom versus a ypunger Tewy.Tasha's mom is a mute psychopath.
>>586846663Play as a SotoanEww gross
>>586846663This is just Frontline 59
>lock onto a Shadow>Entire squad drops flares.
>>586846663Everyone and their mothers seem to be set on playing Tasha's mom which I am fine with. Fuck Sotoa!
>Play as Tasha's mom in the DLC>You get a cute young WSO if you fly a two seater.
>>586846791>>586846892>>586847078problem is that unless they pull some secret BS, the Yukes were the aggressors in that warkind of hard to make Tasha's mom look good if she's flying as part of an invading superior force against which the Sotoans are desperately defending
Seeing bombers drop flares for the first time was a odd sight for this game.
>>586846663>DLC missions are set during the Sotoan-Yuke war>you play as General Resource undercover agents to gather useful information for future use
>>586847708>Yukes were the aggressorsThe Sotoans were trying to steal Yuke clay they were just stupid enough to pick a fight with a superpower thinking they could do better than Belka's attempt against Osea.
>Patch apparently dropped I uninstalled this game after getting the Ace S ranks achievement. Is the online still unplayable garbage?
>>586847930Other way around, the Yukes were trying to integrate Sotoa opportunistically because at that point Sotoa was still significantly pastorial and underestimated how fast the Sotoans would industrialize during the war After getting beaten back Sotoa didn't pursue the Yukes and the Yukes like the salty fuckers they were diverted every river running into Sotoa to starve them after the war The whole desertification is largely the Yukes fault
>>586848221>literal fan fictionlmao?
>>586848093Well with the ECM nerf EW aircraft can now allow you to play for more than 10 seconds so I guess its playable garbage now
>>586848221Are you stupid?
>>586848093ECM getting nerfed to the ground has made it a little better. You can actually play the game now when it isn't constantly disconnecting from matches at least.
>>586848309NTA but the Yukes building dams to dry out Sotoa is true. That being said, Sotoa's desertification started CENTURIES ago, it was just made worse by the industrialization and the dams.
>>586848221I can't tell if you're lampooning the sort of people who say things like"it's heavily implied""to be fair/honest""I mean"etc.
>>586848429>>586848503So the actual game modes are still garbage. Shame.
>>586846663>Play as Moon 118 numbered entries and some of you still don't understand that the whole point of ace combat is self inserting into a nameless, voiceless, faceless avatar to feel like it's you in that plane writing your storyplaying as an actual character is a fucking stupid idea, shut up
>>5868488071 & 2 very much had a very vocal pilot you played as. It only became this way from 4 and up 3 don't count as your an AI.
>>586848807Nearly every protag is a named male character with vaguely mentioned characteristics. If you can self-insert into this you must be the blandest motherfucker possible
>>586848221>A matter of interpretation, I'd say
>>586848807NTA, but I think an AC where your character has personality could work. You just need to make sure they have more character than fucking William Bishop. I even typed in "Frank" instead of William at first, that's how useless he is.
>>586845625I will fly any F-4 regardless of the livery, give me better stats so I can shack player Su-57s in Warfare.
>>586849248<<Shit...>>
>>586845523Both wyverns are ugly
>>586846663Yeah, Cope dialouge does imply that Sotoans weren't always such massive assoles
>>586845438>used SASMs to obliterate him without any difficulty>mfw coming on here seeing people ranting about how hard M28 isgood times
>>586848807Nigga that's outright fucking wrong in cases like Phoenix (voiced character), Trigger (pretty much has an established personality without lines), Falco 1 (a voiced character in ACX that you play as in Xi), and Bishop, a whole ass character.And if you didn't get it, Cope being there is very much PA flirting with the idea of having non-self inserts again.
>>586848565Is this stuff from the artbook or is just a something you came up with?
>>586848807Easy to solve, you play as Moon 10 and Tewy is your buddy
>>586848807Ngl, I'm kinda sick of the voiceless protagonist thing when there are wingmans he's supposedly interacting with. Like they crammed an entire peptalks worth of encouragement into that YES after Kate got shot down. Kinda absurd.
Anyone that has issues being a voiceless man to self-insert into is a tranny simple as
>>586850049What if I wanted to be a voiceless anime girl?
Post your online aircraft data.
>>586850185Actual tranny. Neck yourself.
>>586849937They have to give us dialog options. I'm fine with voiceless or voiced with your choices, but I absolutely do not want to have to watch my character say stupid shit or make retarded decisions I'd never go for.
>Have F-22 and SU-47 both at 20>Still have more fun shooting people down with my Migger-21lol, modern planes are homogay and a lie
>>586850191Where's that at?
>>586850191
>>586850442Online menu -> data viewer -> online records -> aircraft data
>>586850049If Ace Combat were as cool as Armored Core and we could make our own emblems, I would spend hours creating a shitty one for a headless horseman squadron
>>586849525I was reminded that it seems Rex actually is rendered with Cope's silhouette/model in cutscenes for the purposes of casting a shadow and stuff. Which makes me think that Rex canonically does resemble Cope to an extent but distinct enough to the people around them
>>586851163I'd make what I make in any game with an emblem creator badly drawn homer
>>586850191Not pictured: Morgan with 0 and F-14A with 6.
>>586851163That's because you're a retarded Fromslopper who doesn't understand these games
>>586851389I make a clover every time they allow it. Gotta rep.
Thought you guys might like this.https://crashatlas.com/
looking back, everyone treats trigger like a special needs kid>dont take your eyes off him magic 1>you killed harling, you do understand this means you cannot fly for a while>lol he crashed into a mountain as expected of the tard>(after running off without saying a word) and are we just supposed to follow you? >look he is already mixing himself into a gazillion enemies thats our boy>do NOT fire on the yellow targets>you have to escort your wingman you cannot stay to fight the dronesliteral 50IQ knuckle dragger that is a gifted pilot
>>586851726is there any reason to do any of this? Did you cheat in Zollars and gold mats?
>>586851314I'm HIGHLY confident that Cope was straight up gonna be the MC early on in the script, but backed off from it fearing breaking convention like they did with AH. 'cause if you notice, unlike Trigger who things directly happen TO, Rex is just sort of "there", and the plot load is instead transferred to the other Wings and particularly Cope.
>>586852507Yes the implication is that Trigger is hot-headed and has a short trigger
>>586851427>>586851726How's the Gripen, buddies?
>>586852507he's literally lost a court case with clear flight recording proof, crazy enough to use his sin lines as his own emblem, married a woman who treats him like a dumbass, he's literally stupid and a danger to his own self
>>586850191last plane in the list is the F-14A with 8 sorties
>>586852719>Multiroleyou're not good at killing both aerial targets and ground targets
>>586852719Do you have a need, a need for speed?
>>586852719Pretty good, but it's multirole, so, you know, never gonna be a top PvP pick, but for assault it's got a great SpW selection.
>>586852507>>586852735I bet Trigger got his name because he sperged the fuck out one time and no one ever let him live it down.
>>586852719Off-meta garbage
>>586852951and from then on he swore off getting angry at anything, this is why he took going to prison so well, as long as you give him his toy planes to fly that is.
>>586853007Posting in /acrg/ is off meta, best for you to never do it again.
>>586852507Well he is meant to represent the average player so...?
>>586853441minus the gifted pilot part
>>586853429and by that I of course mean /aceg/, fucking hell
we have yet to see a pregnant woman in the whole ace combat saga
>>586852735>that moment in 8 where Pike goes "nah kidding Rex, we got your flight data, you're cool"
>>586853592strangereal people simply spawn through mitosis
>>586853620Strengthening shit like that and satellites having fucking point defenses is probably all because of what happened in 7 desu
>>586852719A great fighter for pvp.If the Barricader, Game, Felon, and Fullback are S tier, Gripen would be A tier alongside the Falcon and Eagle C.>>586852906It's the other way around. Lack of an anti-air damage boost means you don't one-shot LAAM red targets. Combined with the low LAAM capacity compared to other LAAMboats, this really slows down your point farm.In pvp the damage boost is much smaller, and non-retarded players will only take glancing hits from your SASMs so you'll need multiple anyway.
>ace combat still does not have the harrier jump jet
>>586855670>use a harrier jet>gets called a troonace combat 8 hates harriers
>>586855759Coster is just a dev self insert.
Subsonic aircraft don't belong in ace combat.
>>586854249Is the Mirage that good?
>>586856098Correct, remove the A-10
>>586856098why is the A-10 in then?
>>586855759so VTOLs are the pantified sissy mobiles of the ace combat universe? is that why harling decided to suicide when they put him inside a V-22?
>>586856098A10, EA6, Su-25, A6?
>>586856286Niche use as a budget attacker. Otherwise, no.
>>586856501the sotoans on rocky island escape by V22 which cements its role as a sissy pansy retreat vehicle for cowards
>>586856415Because redditors need their meme planes.>>586856541None of them should be in an ace combat game, corect.
>>586853592>we have yet to see a pregnant woman in the whole ace combat sagaI'll fix that
VTOLs are for cocksucking faggots, especially IRL.
why would PA make a DLC set around tashamom vs tewy when the outcome of that is known already? people pushing for this are retarded
>>586857245waifufaggotry is a disease that needs to ruin everythingblame PA for feeding it
>>586857245Dumbass, we knew Belka lost the war in AC5 but we still got AC0.
>>586855759wtf does that even meansomeone at PA hates the british as much as i do
>>586853592Kate's character model is pregnant post game
>>586857245they should set the record straight that nordennavic actually won that fight and tasha's mom stole the credit
>>586857734>suddenly nordennavic propagandaCloning cultist spotted
>>586857529ac5 did not tell us that pixy, wingman and best friend of cipher ultimately betrays him and turns over to an anarchist collective that tries to nuke everyone with a prototype fighter jet and that cipher shoots him down and stops V2ac8 does tell us that tashamom and tewy cripple each other in a single dogfight

New meta lineup for warfare found.
>>586857831Yeah so? They did not tell us how or where the fight took place. They did not tell us anything beyond Sota-Yuke war Tasha's mom shot down Tewy. That is just as vague as what we got for 5 a few main points and the rest is up in the air.
>>586856901This dude 100% got splashed by an Intruder while flying a Su-57.
>>586852903>Single engine Swedish dorito faster than a Mach 3 interceptorwhat is PA on
>>586859445what the fuck were they thinking when they gave the hound its stats? turns on a dime but is slow as shit... quite literally the opposite of how it actually functions
LAAMiggers deserve to have their waifus raped
>>586859603I'm convinced they swapped the stats of the foxhound and gripen by accident.
>>586859116yeah so they only tell us that both of them trade killing blows that leave both permanently grounded which is entirely different from the acz treatment of its penultimate pilot conflict
>>586859818I hope not because I love how the Gripen flies as it is now
>die in a furball>see LAAM sitting alone a little past C while everyone else is at A>hmmm, time for shenanigans>spawn at C and target an AI plane, then bee line it for the LAAMer>1k out switch target and pop him with QAAMs>spends the rest of the match desperately wasting his LAAMs trying to run me down>they lose by like 3x less pointsuh oh, stinky
>>586859871Its the same thing you already know the outcome that is how prequels work.

>>586861028as god intended
>>586854081Barricader is still that good even with the EW nerf?>>586856415IMO A-10 should be a meme plane with ridiculous weapons and armour. The PS2 used to give it the armour, but nowadays it only has the BRRRT gun and now the Su-25 has the BRRRT piss so the A-10 doesn't even have that going for it now.
>>586860735it is not the same thing because in the case of ac5-acz the former did not tell you up front the climax and denouement of the headline rival ace fightunless this sotoa-yuke war dlc features a rivalry between two new, unknown aces, there is no point in making it
It's finally over. I only had to torture myself for 5 matches playing with the Growler in warfare. I just threw the last match crashing on purpose and still got the most points on the team somehow.
>>586861184Oh no the ending to a fight that already has a predetermined end is ruined the game is unplayable now. Stop being an idiot
>>586861184This motherfucker- are you an incapable of reading a book or watching a movie you already know the ending to? Don't answer that btw. It's rhetorical, had to let you know 'cause you wouldn't notice.

After finally doing my attacker run and seeing everyone call the F-15E a boat, I'm confident you people have never flown a boat before.
>>586863043the frogfoot is a boat
>>586863043F15-E is pretty much the only decent attacker in the game
>>586863094Use its high G turn and add the ability part she is not a jet boat
>>586863331*now
I need the ac3 projected artifical horizon in ac8 3rd person camera
>>586863275The strike eagle and the duck are close to tied for the best attacker. 15e gets higher single target damage but ugbls are retard baby mode and require 0 thought so more people use it.
>>586864151SFFS if you can aim it is far better than UGBL since you can do a lot of silly tricks depending on what angle you fire it at and unless I'm wrong the F15-E has better mobility overall?
Guys...i heard that B. Tan has HUGE boobs and Kate just can't compete. She should just stop trying to steal Rex from m- I mean from her!
>>586864748Kate has already claimed Rex and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
>>586852507I wonder what trigger was like in flight academy since everyone already seems to know that if you take your eyes off trigger for 2 seconds he is most likely attacking something
>>586864293>if you can aim itThat's the thing thought isn't it. If you're getting harassed in Warfare and constantly maneuvering, changing altitude, SFFS is going to be really hard to aim.It doesn't help that mud hen is twice the cost of the hunchback.Don't get me wrong, I love my strike eagle, but there's a reason the fullback is so commonLv20, with abilities, no parts, they're about equal https://ac8-database.pages.dev/hangar/compare/?a=f15e&a.mode=online&a.limitbreak=3&a.level=20&a.special=xsdb,sffs&a.abilities=19,184,268&b=su34&b.mode=online&b.limitbreak=3&b.level=20&b.special=4agm,ugbl&b.abilities=19,181,277
Why did Tasha push Rex here?
If Trigger drives this car, what do the other player characters drive?
>>586865459Baxter would drive the Varg mobile.
>>586865459Rex doesn't drive as his wife drives for him. Cipher would drive something like pic related.
>>586865346the wind was pushing her
>>586865886I think you'll find the wind was pushing ME! Into the clouds again!
is there any reason why i shouldn't just afk a bunch of coop assault matches to level up my pilot rankeverybody else gets more targets to shoot and have fun and the winning team doesn't get anything more so handicapping your team doesn't do anything
>>586862953just pick every superweapon mission
>>586866874no, excalibur is terrible
>>586865839Hate this meme, he didn't fly the last mission as they were saving fuel on an unnecessary trip, it was her jet, she flies, that's all there is to it.

I want a mission like Mt. NeveraJust you and the white mountains and radio noise and a cozy tunehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srR8LrV0xrc
We need non-AC Strangereal games. I want a Ridge Racer reboot that acknowledges the setting, I want that Blazing Arms concept game, and I want a Sub Rebellion-style naval assault game.
>>586867326they need to remove PSM from this fucking franchise
>>586868072Ten Million Relief Plan reminds me of Destroy Cradle 03. I would love branching paths that allow you to become genuinely evil. Imagine following a bad path and seeing a mission titled "Annihilate Belka Relief Convoy", nothing subtle, no guesswork, you know exactly what's coming if you select Sortie. Then you slaughter them like animals, 100,000 civilians on passenger ships, stuffed into jetliners and crammed into military cargo planes with hastily painted white crosses on them, while the entire mission is pilots and HQ screaming at you to stop, begging you as you give no quarter, bodies falling in equal parts woth metal debris as you rip open one jumbo jet after another. Then make the last mission a no-win scenario with the sky full of anguished enemy aces.
>>586869145explain why without moralfagging

>>586866771You can be reported for 'non participation in battle', but realistically that won't happen unless you repeatedly get a tryhard on your team that gets annoyed your team lost by 1k because you went AFK.Frankly the current game balance encourages non participation in Assault, since you can be left with nothing to do other than have your kills stolen if you bring off meta choices. The co-op concept works much better in Scrambles and Emergency Sorties where the enemies are tougher and you really need multiple players working together to accomplish the objectives.
>you have to redo 8's first few missions with the starter planefucking why? this was one of the worst things about 5
>>586871895At least they give you an A2A SpW for two A2A missions in 8.

I watched some of the streamers\vtubers reaction to the GOTY 2025 AC8 announcement. >They were all "this seems cool" or "wow okay top gun game!" or, mostly, "what is this?"Almost all of them who played it went off bawling their eyes out or calling it a masterpieceThe juxtaposition is so fucking good

>>586875023I'm not a military expert or anything, but I have a feeling that if a war were to break out, one would quickly lose access to those. Also satellites are unprotected against anti-satellite missiles.
>>586875242in modern world downing a satellite, or multiple, is just like launching a nuke.I don't thing military powers would go into that because of the good ol MAD
>>586875023Anon I... yeah I legit have no words.
>>586875382Yes you have the words. Instead of vagueposting just call me a retard and say what you mean.
>>586867326I still don't know why the berkut is permitted to perform kulbits without thrust vectoring engines. It should be restricted to cobra like the fullback and Morgan.
>>586872815Make sure that you let go of the stick before starting the psm.>get below 500>let go of stick>brake+throttle>pull back on stick
>>586867326hot take: this is fucking stupid even for ace combat and if psm has to include this kind of garbage then psm should go
>>586875721Its because slow speed maneuverability is the gimmick of that plane
Not even the strongest fighter pilot can stand against him
Has anyone ever gotten above 900K combined score in an E sortie?
>>586876219A true Sotoan ace!
>>586876219I'll be honest with you, when I saw this for the first time I thought it was some goblin creature for a split second.
>>586875023Satellites have known orbital paths and timelines so you can easily hide whatever you're keeping secret whenever its overhead.
>>586876219
>>586876542kek'd
>>586876219you damn right
>>586875357I wouldnt be so sure at least based on the cold war, several nations shot down U-2s, and thousands of attempts were made to down the SR-71. Unless there is some kind of treaty that isnt on google about ASAT warfare they are in theory free game, The nation who owned the satellite will probably declare war on you however.
>>586875901PSM is fine, its the stupid chaining that has to go
Burn the FCU to the ground
>>586875023It's probably a strike aircraft too
>>586876689I feel this would be better with Baxter but still works.
>>586876613The debris could cause a lot of collateral damage to orbital infrastructure. It might be viewed as akin to recklessly tossing weapons of mass destruction around.
>>586876613It's not really about the capabilities of satellites, but because of how much systems depends on them and because the ever present danger of a Kessler's Syndrome (satellite debris creating a runaway effect destroyng more if not all satellites in both low and high orbit)That effect, in an extreme case, could even prevent us the access to space again, and indirectly, it could cause billions of indirect deaths on earth because we depends on satellites. Like A LOT
Who was the literal who in the mig21 kono ride video?
>>586876613The protocol nowadays is just "don't touch my shit and I won't touch your shit" so China won't shoot down American spy satellites and America won't shoot down Chinese spy sattelites.

>>586848807They hate you because you're right.The whole point is to get the human being in your plane out of the way as frictionlessly as possible so that you functionally play as the plane, like in an arcade game, which is what Ace Combat is at its core. >>586848997>>586849525I forget whether 1's callouts were ever implied to be the player (iirc they use the same voice for "bingo" etc as for "on your right", which would suggest not), but in 2 the entirety of Scarface's dialogue comes down to something like "Scarface 1, tower, guide me in", and the story would fit on a single sticky note. Falco 1 gets some dialogue in X, but Xi has arguably the silliest of all Ace Combat plots. Congratulations Falco 1, you blew up 2 Gleipnirs and the entire Leasath fleet... and the net effect of this was that Aurelia fell in like a week instead of a day because they had a third Gleipnir, so now you get to sit back with your son and be a Gyprhus 1 fanboy instead. At least you actually win at the end of Northern Wings.Assault Horizon isn't an Ace Combat game. That leaves Trigger as the best argument there is for the player having a personality in a modern Ace Combat game, and he's still nameless and faceless, the most important parts.
>>586877239It's going to depend on the target. Certain ones low enough mostly get cleaned in a short time span by decaying orbits. But debris from higher orbits will persist for a while
>>586877693>wrote Gyprhus instead of Gryphus Fuck, my entire argument is invalidated. Ejecting!
>>586877376That's the beauty and the flaws of advanced societis and civilization.A few, fragile and critical infrastructures on which, literally, the whole world builds upon.The 1859 carrington event was barely noticeable for humanity then.The same carrington event, if happened today, would make the society collapse on itself for months, or even for years in a worst case scenario.We went very close to it happening in 2012 and we barely dodged it.
>>586877740The debris from that incident are still in orbit today iirc

>>586857245Tasha's mom isn't a good pilot at the start of the game. you're her wingman. for propaganda reasons Yuktobania credit all your squad's kills to her. she gets better through the course of flying with you, then gets crippled heroically going up against Moon 11 while you're off blowing up a tunnel full of Scinfaxi 2s or something.>>586857734and this happens, too.

Why do Su-57 players suck so bad at this game? This isn't an early game plane you have to put some hours into the game to get it yet they still suck at this game.I had one in a match I beat him by around 6K points in an F-4.Ran into another F-4 player later who was good he was the only one in the room who I could compete with. We had #1 & 2 highest points in the match even the Su-34 player was left in the dust.
>>586875853>>586873113tried this on freeflight and now i can do it at willturns out there's a window of less than a second after you brake and let go of the stick, and that's when you're supposed to both accelerate+brake and pull back the stick, and there you goi even found out there's a steam achievement for doing it in campaign, even after i had already done it with the fulcrum, whateverthanks buddies
>>586883272It is unknown if he was in a position to fight back meaning that I choose to believe that all of Sotoa was outperformed by the Ewes of Baja.

>>586884482All I see is a face
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbI-0UdwhioI know I heard this play in online today, someone tell me I'm not crazy and you've also heard it play during a match.
ugly
>>586885005Yes, it can play in scramble
>>586885438Good I knew I wasn't crazy during that scramble.
>>586885282How's the pilot supposed to land with literally no forward visibility whatsoever? Cameras?
Getting there; the gauntlet fucking wrecked me on the few attempts I threw at it tonight, so still actually have one mission to S ranknot sure I'll do it on ace, simply because there isn't an achievement for it and 52 missions is a lotI want to play 6 next; but should I play X first? I hadn't really considered it before, it being a PSP game and allhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne4uDHyiIeM
>>586886657Maybe he's got a little periscope?
>>586886657Yep.>The flush cockpit means that the long and pointed nose cone obstructs all forward vision. The X-59 uses an enhanced flight vision system (EVS), consisting of a forward 4K camera with a 33° by 19° angle of view, which compensates for the lack of forward visibility.
>>586886685X is an excellent little game. Simple and short missions and a campaign you can finish in one sitting, but it's very replayable (takes 3 runs to see every mission), has a huge and varied plane roster, mission variants depending on your route, some tough air battles, kickass music. Meh story, pretty much no characters, but that's secondary.Play it anon. Now.
I think 8 would have made more sense if I had played 7 before it.
>>586881847I find it incredible the VA is that talented, huge props to her, this version sounds as good as the one in game (different but comparable)
>>586886685the only thing against X is that the PSP didn't have all the controller buttons the PS2 had so the controls are a little limited

Is there no way to disable the tutorial popups? I'm on my third run and I've been playing these games for a couple decades, I know what I'm doing
>>586890751You want a cookie or something?
>>586878819PSMs are a massive advantage in 1v1, but 97% of the time in ACO the risk of getting third partied is too high. If you're somehow fighting a team that didn't bring any LAAM/SAAM/HVAA then PSM is slightly safer.
>>586891106I want to disable the tutorial popus but if you got cookies I won't say no to them
why does the started f-18 have this weird delay between moving stick left/right and the camera following the roll
>>586890006No no it has to be played at least once we must all fight and experience the Orgoi.
>>586890347Another thing with this mission is if you set your wingmen to disperse I think they'll search for ships. I'm not entirely sure of this though, I heard a couple of voicelines from them about finding a ship but they would also just lock on to crabs as well so I'm not entirely sure about this functionality.
>>586891962Because it has poor roll acceleration, the only plane worse than it is the F-4.
>>586891962you need to think like a hornet for the plane to do what you want
>>586887989NASA doesn't get the funding it did back in the cold war
>>586892130They don't I tired it they just hovered around the first group of ships like bee's and didn't do anything until the drones launch at mission update.
>>586892183The legacy hornet is really wack in this game. It should have similar turn rates to the super hornet and better roll and pitch response over it, the super hornet is weirdly fast in comparison to the other planes too.
>>586892849All of Ace Combat's IRL planes have always been shells pasted over an arbitrary set of stats and loadout. It was the F-16 that got the starter plane curse in 7, now it's the F-18C, even though both planes should theoretically be great performers. This is one reason why I wouldn't really mind if AC dropped real planes entirely at some point and made up their own entire roster. Which, if they keep going forwards with the timeline, will happen eventually anyway. While a lot of 3's planes are just futurized IRL planes, whatever performance attributes they all end up with will be just a bit less jarring.
so do all the shadow dweebs just go OOOOO OOOOO OOO OAAH OO AAAAH on open comms everywhere they fly?
>>586894275Sure do
>>586888393A HMD at least, man. That shit's standard in 5th gen fighters.
>>586893929I mean, the same thing is true for missiles. No missiles in this game fly like any missile IRL would. They head straight for the target, with no heed as to proportional pursuit to lead the target, which is why they will miss in anything but a near perfect head-on or tail chase 9 times out of 10, and anything but a SASM also doesn't have a proximity fuse, like a missile IRL (except for some very early, and very abandoned, ones) would.Ace Combat is a fun arcade flight game. It's not a simulator, not remotely.

>>586894406its a testbed for high speed flight noise reduction, not a fighter jetan HMD is redundant and expensive when you can just use some COTS monitors connected to external camerasthis is why it also uses F-16C landing gear instead of a bespoke design
>>586894579Apalis looks like someone photoshopped a MiG 1.44 into a superplane.
>>586894579
>>586894739imagine how sexy this thing is gonna look w 8s level of fidelity
>>586894579Why didn't they pluck one of these out of ACX for Topkek to fly in 28? Kinda a nothing burger for him to just be using a Felon when Mihayl was rocking a Wyvern 10 years before.
>>586894720the Flatpack is also cool>>586894818apparently modders already put it in AC7
>>586894406This isn't a fighter its an R&D plane all the cash went into the important parts not a function you only need for landing.
>>586894639I get it, I understand the reasoning, I just think if you're gonna spend over half a billion dollars on a tested you might as well splurge on a $400k helmet so you can see through the floor to land with ease.
>>586894518It is, but PA could go a little further in making the planes behave closer to their IRL counterparts. Let the F-4 be fast and have a huge payload despite being a starter plane, let the F-5 (if they ever remember it exists) be quick to turn even compared to some later planes, and so on. The F-18C in 8 should at the very least be able to PSM for the same reason the E and F can.
>>586894848Risk of upstaging Moon 11 if Topkek gets a new plane too. He was already a harder fight pre-nerf thanks to his One Million Flares.
>>586894919Again, of $630mil, $400k would be a rounding error.
>final arsenal bird mission>B rank>79'Haha...
>>586895231Engineers aren't interested in rule of cool and they're not gonna waste money and time implementing something unnecessary
>>586895284no way, the Arsenal Bird is way bigger than just 79 feet
>>586895391You come back here with that goalpost right this second, mister.
>americans talking about feet againHow can one nation be so brainwashed by a single Quentin Tarantino?
>>586895484Yeah right after you go to the dudes at nasa and lockmart with your "yo you should totally put this and that on your experimental plane cause it's soooo cool and, like, so cheap lol!" pitch
>>586895593He says the N-word in every movie he makes, how can you argue with that?
My dad works at Bamco, and he told me that the final boss for the DLC is going to be zombie Mavisimen
>>586894918All of the X originals were modded into 7 along with a shitton of other planes from real life and older titles, other games
how the FUCK do you S-rank mission 28
>>586895768By getting gud
>>586895231its not the price, its that it would basically do nothing that their current system doesnt already dothe pilot can already see outside of the cockpit with their set up, they dont need an HMD that they would have to write new software for, do FAA certification for, etci mean, your original point for why they should even do this is because "5th gen fighters do it"
Is PA were really based they'd give us a tool to paint custom liveries ingame
>>586895231400K to buy more R&D stuff or waste it on something pointless that you can do with $50 bucks instead. I know what they are going to pick blow the 400K on more science stuff for the plane.
>>586895650You're way too upset for how mundane our conversation is.
>>586883319That F-4E player might have been me. My call sign is F4lc0n
>>586895983Yeah I'm literally shaking and considering either suicide or arson, that's how much your words got to me.
>>586896059NTA, but help is available.https://988lifeline.org/
>>586896007Wait crap what was their name was but I remember the plane. Were you using the black and yellow skin with 99 on the wings?
>>586896293But do they have cool HMDs?
>>586895884>>586895953Well, again, the question was "what did you expect", not "why didn't you logically reason this out before posting", and my original post was just that I found it funny that it had the same clarity as the reversing camera on my truck. >>586896059You seem really upset. You should calm down, there's no need to make up scenarios in your head about how not upset you are.

>>586897272Then that means somewhere on the net is another capable F-4 player.
>>586897352Obsessed
>>586890727La Chanteuse feels like it's an AI to me. It's definitely a long shot theory, but 'magical hacker that can even take on Enso Order' would be a huge mary sue if it's just an ordinary person that the Princess happens to know.Makes more sense it's what's left of the Ravens.
>>586895885Say what you want about Assault Horizon but it introduced a lot of cool features and livery editor was one of them. You could even repaint all purchased DLC skins
>>586895885If they had a livery editor then they'd have to censor it, and that's not worth it.
>>586897480The Princess keeps them in line by saying if you don't behave Trigger will fly back over here to have a "talk" with you again.
Why did Project Aces elect to make mission 30 dogshit
>>586897652Or alternatively, the Ravens are grateful to the Princess from saving them from the drink in the first place. After all, they weren't evil. Just continuing the war in the only method left available.The strongest clue for me is the name - 'Singer' - and what did those LA LA LA bastards do? Sing.
>>586894981This, give early low tier planes IRL flyby stats but also unique attributes for example the A-10 could have double the armor rating of the average attacker at max rank to offset it's poor handling.
how does a space elevator generate electricity?
>>586897423There's a few of us. I regularly play multi roles and regularly score in the top 3 with even a few MVPs just to prove that one anon here who claims they are useless due to lack of focus damage. My rebuttal is competency and efficiency. Ironically I outscored attackers more often in Warfare than in Assault. HVAAs make shirt work of NPCs if you fire them from optimal AoA ranges.

What are helicopters if not planes shaped like rectangles?
>>586897948There's an asteroid in orbit at the other end of the space elevator. (space elevators are in tension, not compression) That asteroid is covered in solar panels. The space elevator is used to send the vast quantities of solar power down.
I've died more times in the final Arsenal Bird and not!Falken missions in 7 than I have in all my prior Ace Combat playthroughs combined.
>>586899086those are circles idiot
>>586899102The power made in the space end of the elevator is sent back to Earth via microwaves dishes. PA didn't think how potent a weapon that is when the beam isn't aimed at a receiving dish. And how easy it could have been used to take out every single orbital weapon Sota has.
>>586899419The rotors, sure, but not the rest of it.It is rectangle plane.

The more I think about it, the more I realise the competitive elements of ACO are a trap. Outside of the pure PvP modes, everyone gets better payouts if they co-operate instead of trying to get the best score or win against the other team, even in Warfare to a degree.
>>586900109Would you rather have no individual points, only shared score or this system? Just so you know I can just AFK and let you all do the work and no one will know.
>>586900109Thematically appropriate, really.
>>586900490not really since you guys are canonically mercs according to the Scramble mode, the more kills you do individually the more pay you get

>no F-15EXShit game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohl-ZN2yBSEPA released an official MV for ACZ like 4 minutes ago
>>586902481>muh marginally upgraded Eagle variantsBe happy you get the F-15J.
>>586902481It would be a multirole with worse flight performance than the C and shit abilities for damage anyways
>>586902535>marketing a game they can't sellThanks, PA. I will now install your emulator.
>>586900109The only time going for the mission instead of personal score is a good idea is on emergencies. And half the time you can afford to go for score anyway (I regularly fuck off to farm planes on Arsenal Bird even though the team doesn't benefit from that and we still always get S because it's Arsenal Bird).In coop/scramble you're basically guaranteed to get S rank unless something very strange happens so the only thing that impacts your rewards is your personal score, so being selfish and getting as many points as possible is the best option.
>>586902535>Merc rep: SchwarzePerfect choice>Soldier rep: GaultSure>Knight rep: IndigoWhy?

>>586902535>Knight -> Merc -> SoldierSo cipher started as a righteous rookie, but slowly the praise and achievements corrupted him into a ruthless mercenary until the nukeshit happened and it traumatized and confused him, now he doesn't have any reason to fight and just wanted to end all of this, making him a hollow soldier?

>>586904909Or Belka is learning from Osea all along.

><<Allied Attack>>>watch shamrock rape half the strigon teamLmao
>>586908306so where is this AI in AC7 and AC8?
>>586908306that isn't how allied attack worksallied attack is the other squadronsyou haven't even played 6
>>586908370in 7 trigger IS the allied attack
Does it matter what order I play 3, 6, and X?I plan to play all of them eventually just not sure which one should be first
>>586909039Weird lineup, but okay. Do you prefer to play by number, launch date or chronology? Other than those, no it doesn't matter
>>586909578I've played 45078 so those seem like the ones that are remaining in the series that are still worth playing from what I've gathered.I guess I'll do X63 just for time line if it doesn't matter
>>5869090393 is technically pre-Strangereal canon so it doesn't matter if you played it first or last, it simply adds context to certain things. 3 matters the most to 7 and 8, really. It's irrelevant to 6 and X.
>>586909998You forgot 2.You should play 2.
>>5869090393 because I like that one.
>>586904108I don't think it's a narrative, it's just showcasing all three and saying whichever path you took is canon.
>>586865459Talisman is into rally driving and his WSO is just as effective as a race navigator.
>>586880572
>>586910885<<No, Rex!>>
>>586910885><<<Did anyone see Trigger bail out?>>>
Idea:>3 DLC missions, just like AC7>set early on in the Sotoan invasion, playing as a different FCU pilot>fight in huge AC6-style battles because you still have a bunch of allied & enemy forces, before attrition has whittled both sides down>>you actually get to see the Wings of Theve legend & rumors inspiring your allies in battle>maybe even see a Cope cameo, have to defend him briefly>in each mission, you witness more and more of your allied pilots get shot down, explaining why Rex was all that was left at the start of AC8>>at the end of the 3rd mission, you do something to help defend the Endurance / Joker & Queen Flight to help them escape>big enemy ace squadron boss fight while they retreat>you get shot down, bail out, & get captured>but, hey, at least you helped the good guys get away & set up the start of AC8>>the pattern is broken with an unexpected 4th DLC mission>you're playing as Rex again>after the end of AC8, but before the peace treaty is signed>it's a covert mission to a big military base / prison / fortress in mainland Sotoa to rescue a bunch of POWs from early in the war, including the pilot character from the DLC, that Sotoa is denying exists>you gotta save them before some radical Sotoan military faction that's super butthurt about losing the war can torture them all to deathwould you play it?
>>586910885Jesus Christ
>>586909039Play 3 last, the flight model and missile tracking is so comparatively weird that it's better for you to adapt for it and not out of it.
>>586910885Group B was fucking nutty man
>>586911365Just give me 3 missions set after mission 30 about Operation Nomad Cleanup
>>586911365>playing as a different FCU pilot> << Omega 11, engaging. >>
>>586911563>just invalidate everything the game has been telling youwhy are edgelords like this?
>>586911781Shouldn't 'ave killed me wingman. Simple as.
>>586911365only cool with it if you get to fly through the panopticon after a pixel perfect tunnel run
>>586908370>AC7Ally damage output nerfed so bad that they can barely kill helicopters and oil tanks, please understand.>AC8Ally damage still mostly nerfed but SPWs work again, please give orders and Morgans. Also Cover is pretty good in this game, Jokers understand to stick with Rex and you'll make it.
>>586911563they should let us play for the unequivocally aggressor nation sometime
>>586911907>Ally damage still mostly nerfeduntrue, at least for mob enemies your wingmen standards will do the same level of damage as your own standards
>>586911845imagine terrain kind of like Ragno Fortress in AC6canyons, plateaus, tunnels through the plateaus connecting the canyons, tunnels deep into military facilities, everythingwith both optional and mandatory canyon flight and tunnel flight sections to reach different targets / avoid different threatsI'm sure we can let you fly into the jail if you want to fuck around
>>586912225>>586911845>and the only way to do it safely is to use the DLC Harrier in hover mode
>>586912220It feels weird. I've seen allies kill enemies with standard missiles but I've also seen helos and Fulcrums eat salvos and not even trail smoke. It even happens in the optional tutorials that teach you about Allied Attack, in that one I watched Joker easily handle all enemies except for the final one that wouldn't die until I personally launched missiles.
>>586911907>>586912220From what I've noticed, Joker flight are decent at getting kills, but they can't destroy the remaining target if it will trigger a mission update. The player has to take down that last target.
yknow rex is kind of a shit name compared to the other protagonists. makes me think of a dog
>>58691270799% sure that Cipher is canonically from Ustio
>>586911365My ideas for DLC>Kate is the MC and it takes place during the time when Queen and Joker were separated>Queen Squad has an entire 10 Million Relief Plan tier story off screenalternatively>Rex and Tasha have to clean up a mess her mother accidently started during the Soat/Yuke war for her Dad's FSB unit
>>586912707Rex is literally King, as is part of the Wings of Theve larp. DD shitposted so hard that he manifested a new King of the Skies to save Usea, just like Trigger, Mobius One, and Phoenix before him.
>>586912707what is this cringe ass fujo shit
>>586912707>Scarface>not max mercenaryShit chart/10
>>586912707>Rex not a Dullahan>Trigger not the fucking devil himselfTrash
>>586912126That's what I want from 9, you're a GR or NC soldier spearheading an invasion that ultimately changes the global paradigm
>>586912707Putting aside everything else, Phoenix is Scarface 1. It's the same guy. You play as the same guy in 1 and 2.
>>586913021Did you guys forget 7. 7, 4 and Zero those are all invasions, or do you mean the bad guys
>>586912707Phoenix and Scarface are the same person, gay chart anyway.
>>586913129Those are counteroffensives. I want a war of aggression.
>>586912874>Kate is the MCwe would need the VR guy to crack those missions ASAP to let us look down at Kate's boobs
Is Trigger the mc that gets glazed the most by his allies?
>>586913194its why i chafe whenenever corny redditor types talmbout some "hopecore" wrt to ACthere could be some actually impactful commentary when the player faction isnt a wholesome chungus western democracy getting railroaded
>>586913016Trigger's theme is that he is a 'daredevil', but he never actually does anything wrong. In fact, he's the classic "dindu nuffin, I was framed" prison character.
>>586913469Not even, he's practically a saint the way he just takes it and doesn't try to defend himself. No "look at my gun camera" no "look at my flight recorder" not even a "I didn't do it" just endures it like Christ until his name happens to be cleared.
>>586913243Rex and Talisman also get glazed pretty hard by their allies, and benefit from not having some psycho in their military actively trying to murder them. There's also ISAF deciding to dress up as Mobius One for Halloween— I mean to scare the Eruseans at Megalith.
>beat Air Combat>find out afterwards that there was an option to turn on expert controls>realize I basically didn't even play the game>the controls were probably fun and engaging but I struggled through the whole thing in retard mode because I thought it was just an ancient clunky PSX gameFeels bad man. At least I fixed it before starting Ace Combat 2.
>>586913690Air Combat also kinda gets a New Game+ at least with a slightly different plane roster, at least. 2 does as well.
You shouldn't just get some meme title for 500 sorties with an aircraft, you should get a fun skin for it too.Also, F-100, just because.
>>586913243When it comes to own squadmates I feel like Blaze is the one that gets glazed the most
>>586910956>>586911163>>586911414The driver actually lived. The co-driver died in the fire. Ended the driver's career.>>586911553It really was. Fucked as it is, I'd still like to see it come back, just make them sign waivers and have it PPV only so you have to sign up to die as a driver and have to consent to watching it as a viewer.
>>586914257>I'd still like to see it come backWith F1 getting more babbified every year this is beyond pipe dream
>>586914084To be fair to Blaze, his squadmates are>A girl with survivor complex that is in love with him>A traumatized naval aviator>Chopper>A trainee not even out of flight school
Huh, these are in the game?
>>586913852fish
>>586914483Planes being cool fish is the way, planes being birds is gay shit. Once we get more space planes this truth with be unlocked fully because space is Navy themed.
>>586914923>because space is Navy themed.>penis shaped planesalright man
>>586912707There's so much wrong here it's actually impressive. >>586913127I was gonna say the same. Also Mobius 1 is incredibly wrong on the merc/knight scale. Also his first plane is the FUCKING PHANTOM. It's one of the most well known starter planes in the ENTIRE franchise.
>>586913243Probably Mobius or Blaze tbdesu. Trigger definitely gets the most "how the FUCK is this guy still alive" reactions to his flying though.>>586913656The Rex glazing only really starts past the halfway point of the game, but after that you get people like Dealer actually realizing he's an Ace Combat protagonist which is pretty great.
>>586914389Yeah, I know, I know, still, gotta keep the flame lit.
>>586914989the fanfiction seems to want protagonists to only fly single seater planes, hence Talisman being Blaze's WSO and vice versa
do you think they'll advance the concept of land ships in future AC titles
>>586915180Truly bizarre to go through all that effort just to get most of the personalities abd a good chunk of the actual facts wrong. Also is the LEON/NOEL shit in Scarface 1's thing real, or a complete fabrication? I've never heard of it even once in the 24yrs I've been playing these games.
If they are going to treat online like a skinnerbox gacha game, then they need to make the dailies something that you can finish in 10 minutes like other skinnerbox gacha games.
>>586914969The X69 Homo-Sturgeon will be the best experimental space fighter bomber tested in the year of our lord 2176.
>>586915512To be fair, one Assault match plus one Warfare match is 11 minutes, if you ignore all the waiting and menu navigation and the returning to the lobby because one player out of eight disconnected thanks to Bamcode.
>>586915447Tbf Anon, most of the protags "canon" personalities are total fanfiction anyway. The LEON/NOEL stuff just looks to be more fanfiction.
Imagine a world where gacha nigger devs had a 10% chance of receiving half a paycheck after working for 8 hours, 90% chance they worked for free all day.
>>586914923Amazingly homosexual post
>>586915512It's just about that, 5mins per sortie, 2 sorties, if you don't get 3 kills within that you might be actually mentally retarded.
>>586915665That's zero gold blueprints anon. They don't drop in assault or warfare.
>Sotoa hid the construction of their land battleship by faking construction of a nuclear aircraft carrier, then faking a meltdown, THEN burying the shipyard>their Navy still used Kuzs How come the FCU don't find it weird?
>>586915041Even the Trigger glazing doesn't really start until Farbanti. Tabloid's one of the best buddies in the series but it's balanced out by Spare acknowledging but being mostly indifferent to Trigger's skill. Then Tabloid gets whisked off to Tyler Island while Count peacocks in the early LRSSG missions, so Trigger has to prove himself to a new squadron for the third time and they don't really havk him off until Wiseman dies.Talisman's getting his dick sucked as early as mission 6 when he and Shamrock save what's left of Emmeria's mainland forces. Or mission 3 when they provide all the air cover for the start of Emmeria's counterattack.
>>586915768Oh. You should have specified you bother grinding blueprints daily. Gonna be a yikes from me.
>>586915768Assault plus Warfare gets your daily challenges done, but yeah gold blueprints is an entirely different level of bullshit. If you don't have the premium pass you very much have to lock in on one or two mid tier aircraft. I imagine the free pass players that put all their gold blueprints into the Barricader are seething.
>>586915803Disagree. Trigger glazing starts with First Contact and continues with Fleet Destruction. It's why Strider squadron recruits Trigger, he keeps up with Mihaly.It's so bad that Count gets recruited into Strider squadron under the logic of "um, yeah, I guess Trigger's friend can come too".
>>586915213They worked for Sotoa right up until the FCU figured out you can just keep their main guns busy with close-range fighter attacks while your bombers drop a bunker buster on them.They found the counter, the meta shifted.
>>586915803>Talisman's getting his dick sucked as early as mission 6 when he and Shamrock save what's left of Emmeria's mainland forces. Or mission 3 when they provide all the air cover for the start of Emmeria's counterattack.To be fair, he's already an accomplished soldier to begin with, and in Emmeria, everyone knows each other for some fucking reason, like a one giant hivemind, of course they know he's their very own mute psychopath
>>586915761Retard, the gold blueprints are part of the dailies.
>>586916045>and in Emmeria, everyone knows each other for some fucking reasonI mean their entire surviving military is like a dozen planes, half dozen ships, and 30-ish tanks. Smaller organizations tend to know each other better.
>>586915998>It's so bad that Count gets recruited into Strider squadron under the logic of "um, yeah, I guess Trigger's friend can come too".Count's more because he padded his scores, although he did have enough skill to hang with the best of them. Tabloid was always the more loyal wingman to Trigger.
>>586915998To be fair Count is actually an ace. He's the only wingman who's able to complete the tunnel run, and he does it in an F-15 while Trigger is most likely in a Raptor or some other superplane, and he even lands the thing indoors despite already being heavily damaged. It's just that Trigger one ups him at every turn with how much more insane his own feats are. Out of everyone in the LRSSG I think Count is the only one that ever does anything impressive other than simply surviving.
>>586916159>other guy gets a reasonable response>I get called a retard
>>586915910Barricader's still gotta be solid despite the nerfs no?
>>586915793>we're going to upgrade to nuclear ships>oh fuck it melted down this is awful fuck this fuck nuclear we're not trying that shit againseems believable to me
>>586917067It's not hyper cancerous anymore at least and when I got one on my team I was at least glad he was there instead of thinking he was a waste of space.Compared to the 2 Alicorns I did today that had some fucks in Fighters distracted by drones the entire time
>>586917187It would still be better to have Growler than Barricader larping as a fighter with 4AAM, ECM is more important.
>>586917067It's still decent, but it's not 'prevents the other team from playing' broken like it was before. I had a peak at the Steam forums earlier and there's one guy absolutely RAGING about the EW nerf.
>>586912707>>586912931>>586913167NTA, but hot take, I actually like the chart. If whoever drew it managed to fix up the inaccuracies like how she (and let's be honest it probably is a she) separated Scarface and Phoenix into two people, I'd say it wouldn't be too bad. I guess there's also some fanons that she crossed that are basically quasi-canon, like Cipher being from Ustio, but I digress.>>586912881Honestly, I was a bit disappointed that DD's Wings of Theve larp wasn't because he realized the fact that there's always a nameless and bloodless psychopath that always comes save the day when all hope is lost. I actually had a theory when I was in the earlier missions that DD was fishing for a protagonist after doing a cursory reading of history, and he wanted to groom them to be his AI copy model from the ground up. I mean, there's no way people haven't realized that by now.>>586916045We only said who gets glazed the most, not who gets glazed the most relative to actual justification.
>>586917067It's "ok" but you're better off investing in any other tier 3. Growler's a better Jammer even without investment now because IEWS is now a 10 second quickshot, and the Barricader's SPW selection doesn't help it stand out among gen 5 planes or other tier 3s like the Typhoon and Rafale.
>>586917352DD's larp needed a reason why he chose Cope. Like he says "this was the guy who bought time for the evacuation of Theve", but he never explains if that's true or just more lies.He did know Cope was a Nomad, but again never says why he picked Cope anyway.
>>586917350>peak*peek, I'll Chopper myself for the dishonor now.
>>586916851>pretending that the most significant part of the dailies aren't part of the dailies.
>>586917489Please don't crash to a football stadium
I wonder what the economic of being a merc pilot. Like, the price of the plane itself aside, surely the maintenance, fuel, and munitions must cost a ton?
>>586917635I genuinely don't chase them. I do 1 warfare and 1 assault and if it pops it pops, if not, oh well.
>>586918000Yeah why don't they work at a burger place instead
Just realized there was a new AC. Seems fun but the characters and story look like quirky anime shit
>>586917187>>586917350>>586917473Hmm alright. I admit I was pretty hesitant that a nerf to only duration would be enough but it seems to have worked without completely gutting it. At least they're listening to players even if it may be excruciatingly slow to update.I'll probably run Growler + Game instead though>>586917479Cope was an incredible pilot who could reliably come back alive. Living means fewer transfers of the legend to new pilots means fewer people know that it's just propaganda
>>586918000Strangereal has somehow made everything related to aircraft cheaper.
>>586918000you can get a mirage 2000 for the price of a g-wagen in strangereal
>>586918239>Cope was an incredible pilot who could reliably come back aliveThat's true, but there still had to be a moment where DD said "this is the guy, this is my fake hero."Maybe this is something for a DLC prequel. "How Cope became Wings", you don't play as Cope but do watch him become the legend.
>>586918000Just go by ACO prices and assume something like an F-22 costs $50,000 USD. Price everything else in accordance with an F-22 costing as much as a new sedan.
>>586918290And yet Kate can't even afford her own Rafale...
>>586918351>there still had to be a moment where DD said "this is the guy, this is my fake hero."And it would have to be a really good achievement for DD to pick a Sotoan born pilot to be the face of his 'fuck Sotoa' propaganda campaign. Then again DD generally comes across as both scheming but also painfully naive until Rosie shit talks him.
>>586918491>alternate timeline where DD's strategy was to have Cope give livestreams where he loudly called Sotoan High Command a bunch of out of touch larpers
>>586918239>I'll probably run Growler + Game instead thoughGrowler was always the "better" Jammer honestly, it just took absolutely forever to get there. ECM and ESM being separate is way more flexible and outright better in PvP against IEWS, and the Growler got better abilities with regards to boosting ESM. But it took forever to get there, because you needed 60 gold blueprints to get ECM and then XP levels to get abilities, meanwhile the Barricader has higher base stats and comes with IEWS out of the gate.Game has always been pretty good though, SASMs are just really strong in 8.
>>586916159Maintenance is scheduled to be complete in ~ 15 minutes, who's up and going to grind with the "please play the game online" rates?
>>586918568Well from the Kurbanov brothers, we can already see Sotoa High Command as being high on their own meds. With special mention to Tiwari the people's oven
>>586918358>>586918402ACO prices are silly low, MRP makes more sense with Kate's "do you know how much one of these costs?" comment, so from a few tens of thousands for a starter jet to a million for a cutting edge superplane.
>>586918000I think there are different levels of being a merc in this universe, like a group like scarface or the savians are more like a private army scar face squadron had an actual squadron worth of pilots and planes and the savians have an entire carrier strike group. They probably have the money to cover their own upkeep costs but they will charge you more for it.A small group like Galm team however who are folded into a countries air force probably have maintenance fuel and munitions as part of their contract. In fact (and im not saying galm do this) they may not even own the plane their flying, and the air force is simply hiring them for their piloting skills.
>>586911365instead of being shot down in the 3rd mission, imagine this:>you're ordered to retreat from the airspace as you hear the Shadows chanting on the open air>land on one of the last remaining FCU airbases near the frontlines>while you were outside of your plane while it's being rearmed and refueled a sudden land battleship strike hits the base relentlessly>your plane is destroyed in the strike, need to gtfo>hop on a chopper as the whole airbase is being evacced>Jenkins is flying itand the rest is history
>>586918568>>586918803Now that I think about it, it's weird that Cope doesn't know that Tewy is still alive and kicking (figuratively), given that she's the Director General of Education in the Sotoan Air Force and her fame from the Sotoa-Yuke war. Surely her name is mentioned on a saf.gov.so website or something.
>>586918568>DD making Cope host an InfoWars-style schizofest where he goes on hour long rants about Sotoan high command being a bunch of LARPing fuckheads with their heads up their own asses
>>586919375>Cope: "And now for our special guest, Lieutenant Commander Baxter."
>>586918895Plus MRP in the context of 8's campaign is explained as 'here's what equipment Enso is willing to provide you with in exchange for your flight data' instead of outright cash. For all we know the FA-36 computer assistance that Gemma used was programmed with aid from Rex's flight data; Rex didn't eject often enough to generate enough data for a reliable ejection subroutine.
>>586919510The hacked drone was just to force an ejection so they could get some data and had no other motives.
>>586919761i believe this
>>586918734I liked being a buffslut prenerf, but I swapped my abilities around now that uptime is only roughly 33%. The Growler Lv20 exclusive stays of course, but I swapped ESM and ECM radius out to slot in the air damage and missile upgrade abilities
>>586868981I want an MGS clone in Strangereal
>>586920119Granted but your mission will be as Erusean special force trying to assassinate Osean forward observers around Stonehenge
>>586920119>Arsenal Bird?
>>586919121bro is flabbergasted that she's wheelchairbound, as if he didn't personally see Momskaya shot her down, Cope is just weird
Important to remember that Cope as a ghost has a strange semi-omniscience due to a connection with a spirit world. But at the same time he doesn't know what some information means, and has forgotten a lot of things from his old life.So while he was alive, Cope may have remembered that Tewi was alive and in charge of the Sotoan air force's training board. But as a ghost, he barely remembers his own name.

Do you know what they say about a horse that breaks its legs?
>>586930585>>586930630iirc Jeremy Soule did the main themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elU1vJzhFX8It had a great world war 2 vibe to it, soulful even. And in the hangar you'd hear Beethoven.But then they started adding modern jets to the game and decided that meant the music had to turn into generic action movie trailer slop. I know everyone shits on this game now and for good reason but there was a time when it was legitimately nice.
>>586933360"If it's a peasant horse, slaughter it like the real nomad you keep saying you are.If it's a noble horse, keep it alive until technology lets you plug the horse into a neural-controlled fighter jet."

>>586919121He did know, he just lost his memory as a ghost. Before he died, Cope kept mentioning some business he had to take care of, that he couldn't die yet, and that to me sounds like something that had to be related to Tewy.

Remember when multiplayer was about having fun, not ticking boxes off a daily item list? When you played a game because you wanted to, not out of fear of not doing the daily chores?

So is there some sort of hidden part that makes flares work better?Because it seems like whenever enemies flare, my missiles are useless retards for the next five minutes, but my flares don’t even decoy missiles that are actively following me.
>>586950352Matchmaking happens before planes are picked.
>>586950639Install the better gaming chair.The flares are client side so if the guy shooting you has bad latency, his missles will connect before your flares show up for him. That's also why you can't flare the last second.
