Ace Combat General #333 - /aceg/

i always get giddy hearing the voices of Mobius Squadron and realizing that all the pilots you flew with constantly in the game got reassigned to Mobius Squadron to support you one last time

Since its ded hours ill take a special request, webm or whatever and attempt my best.

Fourth for Tomcat butt

I'm starting to love this thing, it's the exact Crimson Skies tier fun that I want from planes.

DFM Kulpit pls

dogfight you?

What?

waht

wath

i ment something to do in warthunder, bored as a pair of balls of a 70-year old virgin

Well I meant for you to abuse the physics for some stupid webm

Haven't booted up WT in ages

...

oh boy

I got a question.
Why do most of 50s to 60s planes had this chrome/mirror finition ? Something related to UVs and high altitude flights ? Or radiation ?

It's cheaper and lighter (paint has a surpirsing weight to it). That's about it, iirc. American airlines also had that bare steel finish for the same reasons.

>see through the entire fuselage

What mode are you even playing usually?

What do you mean? Just the polished metal surface? Probably because paint is relatively heavy

Paint is actually quite heavy once you've done about 1,000sqft, An unpainted plane is several hundred pounds lighter.

A lot of planes were also painted in what's called 'anti-flash white'. The darker and object, the more light it absorbs. If you've ever put your hand on a black car in summer, you'll have experienced this firsthand. A whiter/lighter object reflects more light, meaning it doesn't warm up as much from say the sunlight. Or the flash of a nuclear weapon it just dropped.

im putting two clips together give me a moment comrad)))

Thanks I felt like it was something related to radiation, but didn't realize the paint could be heavy

While cosmic radiation is a concern for commercial, and I imagine military, pilots, it's not really that much of an issue, the doses are bigger than when you are on the ground but not dangerous. And I doubt it was a concern at all in the 50s/60s.

>the darker something is the more heat it takes in
This is pretty basic stuff they teach you at school. At least, I hope they do in America.

Altman is french.

here ya go, had a laugh making it, still up for request from anyone still
dropbox.com/s/fmbia3fx57idt0q/fucking with physics.mp4?dl=0

I see it's still as good as ever. Since when is the aesthetic APC in the game?

Nice.

Last update, 1.69 BMPs might also becomming as well.
The more i do this the better i'll get at it. Any request for me to do is appreciated.

Thank you for reminding me basic physics.
It just didn't even cross my mind that temperature was an issue to
I didn't learn that at school tho, but in a book with the nephews of donald duck

>spoiler
Yeah that sounds about right

...

your buddy cant TLS you if he cant detect your aircraft

...

Is there a better wallpaper than this?

I love stuff that celebrates the history of something like that, so no

I use this for my phone

>all in just over a century
youtube.com/watch?v=Oug2c6gTvX4

It never fails to impress how far it's come

I never thought to use those posters, not a bad idea

it's pretty funny when you think about how space rockets came about
>DUDE LETS JUST LAUNCH OURSELVES INTO SPACE BY SITTING ON TOP OF FUCKING EXPLOSIONS
>HELL YEAH DUDE LETS DO IT

I mean, strapping wings to yourself and jumping off cliffs isn't much better

Whatever happened to the screencap of the wiki comments thing the other night?

at least with strapping wings to your wont have to face the shame of it failing

>that frenchman that was so convinced of his parachute that he jumped off the Eiffel Tower without testing it first
>it didn't work

You must not have seen much Wile E. Coyote.

Well old aviation looks like a cartoon. There is a better video with similar commentary, but I can't find it as is.

>tfw i remember watching it when i was 3 or 4
>that is over 15 years ago
i may need to go watch a few episodes, just because i like it
not to drown the fact that i feel way too old

This is what I use. Never fails to catch attention and impress.
More often than not the artist-types.

Tbqh I only went off the fact that he decided to do it in Paris

That bullshit that Chopper pulled with his radar malfunctioning is one of the few times a video game character had me physically and mentally exasperated and audibly saying "Jesus fuck man, what the fuck are you doing?" in response.

>nearly fuck up when he decides to ask what we need to do at the last minute
>on the next radar dish he malfunctions
>destroy the radar dish from about half a meter away from it because he was too busy fucking around
dude was the only ray of sunshine in the entire wardog squadron but goddamn he was retarded

what console are you guys getting AC7 on?
which one do I buy to be in the /aceg/ squadron

Question Time: Which actor delivered the strongest performance in AC Zero's interviews?
Which voice suited the actor the best?
And which had the best overall interview?

Altman, Altman and Altman.

PC most likely. Modding potential, ease of use ,piracy and all that.

Xbone for flying with buddies, PC for graphics, VR and modding shenanigans

PC by default
VR is PS4 exclusive.

>VR is PS4 exclusive.
No. The specific VR campaign/mode is exclusive
It's entirely possible to kludge something together to make it work normally.

PS4 because Ace Combat on any other console is absolute heresy.

>ps4 version barely keeping 30fps
what happened man
we had rock solid 60fps before

that's why PC exist.

PS4's exclusive is VR missions. PC's exclusive is 60 FPS

PC
Mostly because I fail to own consoles

>filename
>inb4 the vr campaign is left in the files and can be unlocked on pc

Ace Combat: Operation Hot Coffee?
Sorry no other cut content digged out of a PC port sprung to mind.

Are you telling me you WOULDN'T invite your planefu in for some coffee

I would, but then I have the dilemma of fitting a plane into an apartment.

PC

PC, but that means probably having to wait even more for the port which sucks.

>everyone's getting it on PC
>only got a PS4
>tfw will never fly with your buddies since all of them are on PC

>he didn't get a massive apartment just so if the opportunity arose, he could fit his planefu inside
weak

>he doesn't live in a hangar
Double weak

I got a PS4. I'll fly with you buddy

>he doesn't live ON his planefu
it's like you don't even care

>he doesn't build his own planefu
plebs, all of you

Brady is Top Pix

>tfw you will never live in a hangar with your planefu
Please end me

...

Is it time to post talespin tier designs already?

>tfw your country buys all it's aircraft from the country directly opposed to the one that produces your planefu
>you'll never even have an sort of possibility of living with your planefu

I feel you so hard, buddy.

Please stop
Even worse, my planefu is retired

>Love the ever loving shit out of the franchise
>start playing back on AC3
>years later find out there was a squeal
>MUH MOBIOUS AND YELLOWS
>3 days after finishing 4 grandma comes back from a trip abroad
>she says she has a game about planes
>probably not AC but hell yeah im down to play with jets
>ITS AC5!
>CRY TEARS OF JOY
>liked AC0 a little bit back when i was a kid
>play it emulated now
>newfound love for the title
>xbox ac6 made me sad
>ACX was fun but never lived up to 5 and 4
>ACAH would be a better game if it had nothing to do with the franchise
>AC7 is coming soon
>only now discover this general

>all but 5 of my planefu were scrapped
>only 1 is near airworthy

>tfw the only remaining example was bombed when italy got liberated

Who is she?
My planefu is pic, retired too soon ;_;

Welcome, post your planefu

>go to the Intrepid to see my planefu on the deck
>it's the only one undergoing restoration and blocked off from the public

>live very far from my planefu and have absolutely no chance to see her in person

>ywn hold her control stick
