Ace Combat General #374 - /aceg/

I have a measure of trust in Project Aces but they don't call all the shots for the game. The dev team has to cede to the whims of their parent company, after all.

Honestly, I think Bamco is just trying to play on the relatively large-scale popularity of SAO to bait fools into this preorder

Good night, /aceg/.

>preorder stretch goals
Wat

G'night

If I'm reading this correctly, more content unlocks will be given the more people preorder or-- something like that? I hope I'm reading this wrong.

If I read that correctly, if you perorder you get some bonuses, but the more people preorder the more bonuses every person who preordered gets.
This does not sound good at all.

Even worse, there's no preorder bonuses and they have to be unlocked by the other people preordering. So if you're not lucky, you can end up with a shit game and no preorder bonuses for it, because not enough people preordered.
The worst part about this is that it's supported by Steam! This is built into the Store and not something that Bamco did on their own!

But still, AC7 might be on preorder on Steam as well. They have given the preorder option for the XB1 and PS4 version. Why not doing the same thing for the Steam version as well while they're about it?

So when are we gonna get preorder lootcrates?

With AC7
*shudders*

I'd like to see a solid preorder page with non-placeholder content
Do you really expect them to not support an option that lets them get more money?
You can take that idea and stop right there

Wait, wait, wait. I can preorder AC7 on console at this very moment?

>lootcrates
>In AC7
The fact that this idea is likely is upsetting.

I really hope we just get plane DLCs if anything and no bullshit.
Nothing to ruin what looks like a good new entry in the series.

A-at worst it'll just fuck up the multiplayer, right?

A bullshit feature Steam has since one of the Tomb Raider releases. X-Com The Bureau had the same sort of shit and Tales of Symphonia too. When Mankind Divided did it, there was a major uproar.
Think Kickstarter for major publishers via preorders. Gib moar munny, essentially.
>scamco bandai

Yes.

Did Kaiba just murder a pilot for his entry?

I WAS GONNA SAY

Like for fuck's sake, Kaiba, that giant ass dragon could have just as easily caught the fucking thing at that point.

Wait, is this a planefu-oriented anime? What's its name?

Its Yugioh.

That's some new iteration of YuGiOh user. Definitely not about planes.

I was expecting a catch, not him blasting it

It's fuckin Yugioh my dude

Some Yugioh tracks would fit right in to an Ace Combat dogfight mission to be honest.

okay

Y'know, considering our closeness to NYC, you'd think that they'd give the New Jersey ANG more than just F-16s.

Threadly reminder to draw for the collage!
We're drawing our planefus, and more is better!
The only rules are:
>it must fly from left to right
>it must be black and white
>fun is MANDATORY. It's the most important part!
If you need any advice, feel free to ask.

>29 planes
You aren't going to settle for that, are you, /aceg/?

I'm glad that someone else keeps posting it because I keep forgetting it.

>kaiba privately owns a squadron of not-f-35s and just fucking ices one with a lifesized functioning rendition of BEUD, which also explodes, just so he can look cool
I know he's rich but fuck

Card games are serious business.

Is this why it's so quiet today?

What are some memes you buddies would like drawn this weekend? Either /aceg/ themed versions of existing memes or endemic memes of the general.
Pic related not drawn because this week is going to be the end of me.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT ANYMORE

GIVE ME LARGE SCALE BATTLES IN MULTIPLAYER

GIVE ME 15vs15 BATTLES

World of Warplanes, if you also crave some original aircraft :^)
Also, Taipei game show next week, we might see some more there.

>playing Slavic grind simulators with no end-game

don't do that, user. you know better than this

Should there be LGBT characters in AC7?

Why not?

Can't see much in this picture, which plane is this?
Everyone will be too focused on aircraft to talk about sexuality.

It's in 2 weeks, not next.

i think it's F-18

It starts on the 19th of January, which is Friday next week.

No, in the picture its front frame is like the one found on the F-14, F-4, and A-4.

Really? I thought it would begin on the 25th instead.

Hm, it says it's starting on the 19th on the Taipei GS site.

Apparently is right, thanks buddies

It's a Fishbed

But why are the launch rails light blue?

Perhaps I should elaborate.

>the panel above the pilot on the canopy

Huh. It looked like a western flight suit.

Maybe a Romanian MiG-21? They are in NATO.
Or it could be an aerobatics/display aircraft which is not in the military anymore.

That doesn't really mean that it can't be a 21, but I can't comment on flight gear.
Fishbeds aren't exactly rare.

Let's play a game. You post a random fact of trivia and the others must guess the plane. I'll start:
>It just didn't want to land.

...

You really need to be more specific

They put a really nice livery on it once. Shame it was just for a ruse.

Peshka with the flaps down
Robin with the flaps down

F-104
Crashing is not landing

>It's an F-22 wannabe and has wasted a lot of government's money

No.
And no. Remember, if you can walk away from it, it's a good landing.

PAK-FA

No.
and no.
SAMs couldn't touch it... for a while.

SU-57 or J-20

Got back from drill at an air force base recently. Had a museum section with some older planes up on stilts. F-4, F-5, and F8 were the only fighters, but they were killer. Lots of older cargo planes. Something about how the Phantom looks is just fucking classic. Got to watch a bunch of our state guard F16's take off.

The biggest surprise was that we had a MIG 25 there. I was surprised to see it. I know that the US had always bought russian jets to study and train against, but to see one displayed was odd.

>MIG-25
Really nice. It's probably Cuban.
Defectors brought a large quantity of material with them, allowing the US to evaluate them. If I do recall, they were tested at Groom Lake, and pic related was brought during the Crisis.
Do you have any photos, user?

Ah, my cute little flanker got added.

Nah, I wish. Phone wasn't on me at the time. It's the same as any other old plane, though, where they spray the inside of the canopy so you can't look in and all that stuff.

Was still need to see them pretty close, though.

>brady forgot to post an image
Usually you're on point, anything wrong?

Yeah, making the thread themed on the Stealthdimension was a real bad idea. If I just drop off the face of the Earth, it's cuz the Stealthwraiths got me.

Sorry lads.

RIP Brady, we'll make you a flanker with angel wings for the collage.

F-117?

F-35?

You know what they say: it's a good landing if you can walk away from it; it's a great landing if you can use the plane again.

Going to guess U-2 for this one, you had to stall the plane in order to land it.

No. It did have a gimmick, though.
Exactly. Thus great landings tend to be rare with the starfighter.
Hey, do you know what was the best way to get one?

Nah man, we'll make a Stealth Flanker and rescue him from the stealthdimension!

Buy a portion of land and just wait

Dornie IIRC, I apologise if I'm wrong already did this one.
Exactly.

>Stealth Su-35
Gets me every time

Was it made before or after the f-22?

That's right.
Maybe I should give it a fresh coat of paint after this hellish week. Would you prefer it before or after the Phoenix CFA-44?
I'd still like to see the wireframe for the PSX Su-27 models to get an idea of what an angular stealth Flanker would look like.

>Phoenix CFA-44
AW YISS
After, if you please.

You answered correctly, Brady

Before.
>Phoenix CFA-44
that takes priority.
Even if I'm still waiting on the abomination Su-57
No offence meant, of course.
