first for true beauty
Slav shit best shit
Third for Hoffnung was a war crime.
Reposting because I posted in the dying thread like a dunce:
AC5 would have been better off ending at mission 27. It has a beautiful opening with the pilots banding together and singing. Great radio chatter throughout the mission. The first half of the mission is fun and chaotic while the second half is like an even better version of AC4's finale.
Mission 28 however
>"Dude, this huge satellite is going to btfo our capital if it isn't stopped soon, so let's only send a 4 man squad and no one else lmao"
>starts with ~3 minutes of nothing but holding R1 with very little dialogue
>fighting a bunch of no-name enemies from squads you've already fought several times
>dialogue so corny that it goes past the point of being enjoyable camp
>the satellite is trivial to "fight" and only takes a couple minutes unless you have horrid timing
They should've just let SOLG crash into Oured.
:^)
I'm with you on that one; iirc most of the dialogue was just harping on about the intensity of the enemies' hatred, "only true hate could motivate them to do something like this" etc. etc. Mission 27 was definitely the high-point. Also, 28 felt extra redundant since the game already had an "intercept the falling orbital weapon" mission.
I liked SOLG a lot though. It's one last thing that needs to be done after the big battle. Kind of like the missile in AC2 but more about the music and feel.
Grabacr and Ofnir were a bit unnecessary and had their shit dialogue along with your squad but you can just completely ignore them anyway IIRC. And then Unsung War kicks in.
It's not challenging but I don't think it was meant to be.
I don't know I just really like it as the conclusion, especially the part at the end where it blows up over Oured and you fly formation.
Even though mission 27 is my single most favorite mission in the series, I don't think ending it there would've been a great idea.
Instead, I think the SOLG should've ended the first half of the 27 by decimating the combined allied forces (using conventional rounds) before you flew into the tunnel, this would help "connect" the two missions better, and motivate the player to take down the SOLG.
The first half of mission 28 was great, it had lots of tension and buildup, but instead of having Ofnir/Grabacr show up halfway and give you a half-assed ace fight, replace all that with your squadron's dialogue they would've said after the fight. Instead, the Belkan squadron should've escorted the SOLG down, flying actual superplanes like the FALKEN, dogfighting you as you try and shoot down the SOLG.
Also, make Schenze an actual character and member of Grabacr who shows up throughout the game so you have a clearer antagonist that would elevate the final mission.
Osean propaganda broadcasts would like to make you believe that the Erusian air force occupied the space elevator. This is blatantly false. Air forces can't occupy land, only army units can do that. Osea will stop at nothing to distort facts
They can if they hijacked the Arsenal Bird
>Osea are the good guys for stealing half of Belka's rightful clay, can't you see?
the final sequence for Zero was probably the best handled ending in the series
4 and 5s final missions were great, but taking down a couple of fighters and then attacking ground targets felt somewhat underwhelming
Zero having a dedicated A2A mission as a starting sequence to the ending against one of three squadrons, then a dedicated A2G mission followed by a final A2A against a fighter on steriods played to all tastes for those who enjoyed the squadrons, the ground targets or one on one bosses
All Tomcat aces are muslims
Nagase too?
>Islam is a religion of PEACE
hmmm
>Nagase is obsessed with the Arkbird
>A bird of PEACE armed with a tactical laser capable of destroying one of the two most dangerous Yuktobanian submarines
>try and attack neighbouring countries when your shits completely fucked internally
>surprised when the people you try and attack fight back and completely destroy you since they're not completely fucked
osea was in the right, belka are 'attack russia in the middle of winter' retarded
>she's always reading from a red book
hmmmmmmmmmm
>Taking more than half of a country is "in the right"
>implying the entire economic collapse and selling of the Great Lakes, and then the forced release of Eastern Belka wasn't caused by Osean plotting and interference
Belka had every right to try and retake it's own land. Osea only wants to slowly add more and more territory to its own Imperialist dream of ruling all of the continent from Aurelia to Nordlands, regardless of what the people in those lands want.
reposting this because I put it in the ded thread like an idiot

which was the best?
AC5 is my favourite no bully
F-5 is pretty
Indeed
>calling osea imperalist when belka failed to engineer a war to steal land from osea and yuktobania before reeing out of this world and failing to nuke oured
they released the lands to be independent because they focused everything on building up their military might and it fucked up, then they try to steal those lands because ustio happened to have resources and osea wanted in on it
they lost all rights to the land when they let them be independent
classic case of 'muh clay', stay nuked belka
Pretty bad.
how contrarian
I personally love Megalith
...
They're all excellent for sure, but imo The Unsung War is the most underrated because of when it is played. Imo AC5 could have been an even greater game if they handled the game story better.
Zero

Underrated

This guy knows whats up.

C'mon guys, it's only roughly a month until Gamescom.

>Konami
fuck no
I wish the DCS F5 had a bit more AA weapons to make it at least a bit more worth it. The Fishbed gas a shitton of loadouts and all the F5 gets is sidewinders and bombs.
Should've been the F20 or something.

>see Logan
>now want Johnny Cash ending music in an AC game with a western-inspired soundtrack
F9F panther right?
Swept wings, so it's a Cougar
Reminder: RPG in 3.5 hours.
But taking down Pixy is absolutely trivial and the constant cutscenes inbetween his phases break up the flow of the battle. ZERO is just too scripted.
Whatever happened with this? I was kinda hyped when we started voting
pretty sure it got finished then everyone forgot about it
or it just hasn't been relevant lately
Tried running ACAHL on the lastest citra build. Other than the usual graphical issues (not too major from what I've seen, just interface sprites and briefing display, though I haven't played beyond the first mission so I haven't checked the maneuver prompts) and the game running under 50% speed, there are no major problems with it.
It still baffles me that my computer takes Cemu in a stride yet Citra is slow outside of the two N64 Zelda remakes.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE GAME ISO
I HAVE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE
Any questions for an F-4C crew chief? I'm at my grandparents' church potluck and i have access to one from 1972
It's a .3DS decrypted file, not an ISO or a CIA you need.
Just put the full title in google (with "Legacy+") followed by "decrypted", it's a blogspot result.
What's the tail smiley thing?
Provide a pic
Flare dispensers
I got nowhere else to post it and I know there are a few people that have played the series too.
Holy shit VC2 takes a dark turn (again) after Lanseal gets invaded. That mission also fucked my troops up really well, no idea how to A rank that one.
Don't activate Dirk by taking one of the camps that go to his spawn at all buddies, he is just pain.
You're actually full of shit, guy says it's where the drogue chute deploys from
...
If 2x sidewinders were mounted on Stations 2 and 8 using an LAU-17/A and two LAU-7/As, could a TER adapter be used to also carry bombs or rockets?
If it was physically possible, did he ever see it being used operationally?
You barely missed him, he just left. If i see him next weekend i'll ask.
Damn. Oh well, thanks for trying.
The "eyes" are the rear hemisphere radar warning antennae. The "mouth" is for the drogue chute, which can be used for either landing or departure recovery.
If he has any manuals or anything i may ask to see them, he's older now so there's always a tiny chance he'd give em away
Would an Ace Combat game with WWII-era planes be any fun? I like the idea but it feels like losing missiles would require a pretty big mixup on the gameplay side.
It wasn't fun in ACI
Neat.
I'd like to take a moment of remembrance for a fallen Osean Hero of the Circum-Pacific War.
Lieutenant Colonel Alvin H. Davenport gave his life in a selfless sacrifice over the skies of November City on November 29, 2010 to buy time for an evacuation of November International Stadium.
Despite having taken multiple hits to his aircraft Lt Col. Davenport refused to eject until the evacuation was complete and lost his life bravely protecting the citizens of Osea.
Lt Col. Davenport will be remembered by those close to him for his humor, charisma and appreciation of rock music.
He is survived by his Grandmother.
Lt. Col Alvin H. Davenport
July 30th 1981 - November 29, 2010
I guess they really took it all away from him
He catches a lot of flak, but he was my favorite character in 5 besides Pops.

>you get given
GG, /wtg/.
Got #reckt
Speaking of WWII era AC only Blazing angels comes to mind.
The gameplay was fun when I played last time and they even have super weapons as far as I remember.
That was Blazing Angels II. The first BA played the WW2 setting straight, and aside from that one canyon run mission in Norway, everything was tame and pretty grounded.
II, on the other hand, had giant Zeppelin aircraft carriers, an Excalibur-tier tesla dome, and a roster full of jet fighters.
I just finished Ace Combat 5 and I want to put together a Osean Sea Goblin kit.
As far as I can tell they're like the Osea equivalent of MARSOC
His left hand is HUGE!
Would dropping SOLG on Oured actually have accomplished anything for Belka or was it just a sour grapes attempted mass murder in case they got taken out
The latter most likely
Their reasoning was literally 'fucking Oseans reeeeeee'.
Sea Goblin patch when?
I'd buy the shit out of one.
As it is I figure I'd just get a Osea flag patches and than have custom IR or reflective callsign patches made.
Either "OMDF" or "OSEA"
As far a unit logo patch I wouldn't even know what design to use. It needs original artwork for it.
As I recall, the SOLG was actually designed by Yuktobania to automatically drop itself on Oured in the event communication with the ground was lost--i.e., Osea managed a decapitation strike with huge amounts of ordnance. Basically, it was Yuktobania's version of the Perimeter system.
But the SOLG was designed by Osea.
You are correct, sir. I was talking completely out of my ass, there. Disregard last transmission.
I thought the whole purpose of the war was to destabilize the two superpowers to the point that they could regain their homeland of Belka instead of having it split into "North Osea" and being a practical puppet state of Osea otherwise.
To that end dropping the SOLG onto Oured was inline with their objectives, even if it didn't annihilate all of Osea or Yuktobania it was at the very last a final 'fuck you'
Had they been successful they would've escalated the war with nuclear weapons anyway.
Balka was the one who reprogrammed that fail safe feature into SOLG after they completed it.
And by Balka I guess I'm referring to The Grey Men here.
Well Belka would've probably been nuked to hell, or just occupied forever or fully assimilated into Osea.
> Belka would've probably been nuked to hell
What do you mean?
Kek.
???
We're talking about the Circum-Pacific War.
At this point Belka has ALREADY been nukes to hell.
And up until the point that The Grey Men were discovered no one gave Belka a second glance during the war.
Hm, yeah, I didn't quite think it through.

>Nov 2005, near a disputed border
Could it be that Pixy was next to the whole Free Erusea movement that led to Operation Katina?
he was likely cleaning up the remenants of the rebels with the rest of ISAF
im surprised he didnt become a volunteer pilot though considering his skill rather than serving in some derelict shithole as a combat soldier
>ISAF can afford countless advanced aircraft
>Foot soldiers get shitty AKs
I think like Pixy was fighting on both sides, scrounging out weapons from the battlefield by himself. He's trying to find the volition of borders, and maybe he was traversing the battle lines to see the perspective of ISAF and Erusea, to get a better feeling of what the contested border really means to both of them.
Plus, there's an ace of aces on both sides. It's possible he's seeking out both Mobius One and Yellow 13, to see if either of them is or is connected to Cipher.
>reliable firearm that doesn't quit no matter how beaten and worn it gets.
>shitty
unless you fly a plane you're gonna get fucked over in strangereal equipment wise
even all the people in strangereal seem to be borderline retarded unless they're somehow related to the air force. Remember the commander in lit fuse in AC5 who was too retarded to lead his troops properly
The AK is one of the best guns ever made mate
...
I wish Thunderhead came back.
He was nice.
