A new SPW?
DRNE
Drone
Fires out 500 meters (or some other more balanced distance) from your aircraft's nose and flies in place shooting missiles at whatever comes within its attack radius
>>127545301
So basically SOD that actually hits shit.
>>127545496
Well no, SOD doesn't stay in orbit firing missiles at regular intervals
So, which one is better for a 1500cst cap fighter: lv. 5 Windhover, no extra slots; lv. 8 Azusa, 5 slots; lv. 5 Miki, one slot? Azusa has more slots and HPAAs but has the lowest cst overall
I burnt off all my stocked fuel yesterday. Got to play every raid except SOLG. Fun stuff.

When getting Ace kills in AC0 do I have to do them in campaign or can I just do it in free missions assuming I have that mission and ace style unlocked. Some aces only appear on Ace difficulty and I'd rather hunt them on free mission instead of play through the whole campaign possibly missing them.
Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 collab when?
>>127550068
They can be done in free mission.
>>127544234
Rick definitely had the best plane roster (barring Jamie, obviously).

>>127550068
Free mission, also be aware that you'll probably have trouble with Eisente - he only spawns on normal and he only shows up if you destroy EXACTLY the targets that are shown in the briefing, even if there are a fuckton more, and if you leave the enemy AWACS alone.
>>127558273
>AC3 remake never
I'd rather have things stay as they are than Bamco shooting down Project Nemo and shitting out a remake that ruins it in a stupid way, like mangling with the plot and then saying that it's canon.
Jesus Christ the paint on that Su-25TM -Raven- is great.

>>127544234
Is there a way to make that game's controls not shit?
>>127561443
>forgot my pic
>>127560836
Yeah, and ought to become the damn best attacker in this game.
I'm fine with the nugget emblem though (since top 1000 will be impossible). I like those cute bastards.
>>127560836
About damn time they made a SP variant for that thing.
The only attackers left that need SP versions are the F-4G, Su-24M, and Tornado.
>>127561198
Only 3, now you can bring balance to the force, attacker, multirole, fighter. All nugget battles soon.
>>127564119
It is only 5 days. Might not be too bad.

Wasn't it only for top 200? You think there will be common SP variant of Frogfoot one day?
>>127563006
If you dig around in the options, you should find some preset control schemes, one of which is pretty much exactly like Ace Combat.
>>127570879
Nah.
Better get more 4AAM/LASM/SAAM Hornets
>>127545768
I'd say Azusa. I was thinking about using a Lv.7 Gaviria because the LAAM's have one-shot capability, but I have a lv.10 Mickey that comes out to 1491 fully loaded without giving up overall plane performance.
>>127545768
I'm going to use a L10 MiG-21-SG- and a L15 F-4G.

Guess I know what I'm going to be shooting down next NTDM
Is the XFA-27 still dropping?
>>127581874
Til next wednesday
>>127582652
Then I curse destiny, for giving me the ATD-0 instead of what it could've been.
So, after the Alect squadron, I don't think there are any other characters/planes from previous games to milk. What would you guys want for incoming tournaments?
And how about Special Raids? A Gleipnir/Spiridus hybrid would be cool, with the soundtrack and all miscellaneous weaponry from the Spiridus and the crazy maneuverabilty/optical camo from Gleipnir.
Would be way more interesting than a sitting duck like Aigaion
>>127584185
Why not hope for fortress intolerance or arkbird raid?
>>127584185
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Grand Flight emergency sortie.
>>127584185
Electrosphere raid
>>127584185
Other prototype planes from X like Cariburn, Fregata, Forneus and Apalis would be nice in HD.
Special Raids wise, I was thinking about the Chandelier. However the problem with Chandelier it's just a shit load of AA and ground targets, though then again they changed up the SOLG.
>>127582652
Does this go for the 3 million credits as well or did it end? I haven't been on in a while but this cost restriction tournament sounds good.
>>127572384
Hopefully there will be a challenge for low level planes, say 7 steps to 20 stocked fuel so those not minmaxing get some reward.
Is SFFS still useful now? Haven't played in a year so I have no idea what got nerfed or what got buffed. Should I just stick with 4AGM?
>>127586463
Clearly the answer would be to put mini Chandeliers on top of it as the new anti air.
>>127587452
Drop speed nerf, still strongest weapon against everything.
>>127587452
Yes. A decently leveled Strike Eagle can face FAEBoats in Moscow easily with them.
And there's no need to mention what happens when a FB-22 starts shitting these.

>>127558880
Never played AC:AHL, but the plot is largely the same as 2 with some added stuff, right? I played AC3 and the missions feels short and too quiet in the mission, probably because I've been spoiled with longer missions and enemy radio chatters that the newer series has. I want Rena freaking out when you damage her plane, or the news of people in Geofront evacuating when you fight Rena at it, etc.

I don't know about that. But to clarify a bit,Nemo is the entire project. Everything you see in the game is part of the simulation, including all of the characters. Simon is the only character that exists in reality for sure.

United galaxy space force too after Banco retconned everything

Baraduke, Bosconian, all of the Galaxian/Galaga sequels...
There's a website that lists them all. I don't remember what it was.

Let's be real here, AC3 is as close as we're getting to a good Gits game.
>>127674062
[proofs needed]Dision is VERY real (remember, the sole reason you exist is for Simon to have his shitty revenge) and one can assume that the real reality is reasonably close to le simulation. From what I remember you also get to see part of the reality during the game too, specifically how Dision and Yoko die.

I'm talking about the console version, which happens in 1995. I know the Arcade version happens in 200X.

"The storyline follows two parallel narratives that converge towards the end of the game. The first one is the chronicle of the Second Usean Continental War, as seen through the eyes of Mobius 1."
(The Second Usean Continental War started when) "suddenly, in August of 2003, Erusea launched a military campaign to invade San Salvacion and take control of the Stonehenge Turret Network."
>considering ACX2 and AC Adv at all
Yeah maybe X2 shouldn't be in it, but Advance takes place in Strangereal and is therefore, part of the story.
>>127674416
Papa Bungie's kid that everyone forgot after halo, besides as far as I remember there's a lot less ghosts in oni than in electrosphere

Cynthia is pleased to see someone else gets it, so here's more Cynthia for you f a m.

Personally I think the GITS PS1 game is pretty good on its own and also a great companion to the first film.

I don't see any proofs of AC1 being set in Strangereal's Skully Islands. Also because it physically doesn't make a fucking lick of sense for such a small archipelago to have like 4 different climates ranging from deserts to glaciers.
AC04 starts on the 19th of september 2004 and ends exactly one year later. Change the date from 2003 to 2003/2005.
And as far as I know AC Advance wasn't even developed by PA, it might as well not exist. Same for ACXi.
>>127675542
>Same for ACXi
Falco Squadron emblem is in Infinity. That's canon as fuck.
>>127675542
I don't see any proofs of AC1 being set in Strangereal's Skully Islands
"In 1995, a well-armed coup d'état force rose up within the Skully Islands, an island nation south of Usea"
>Also because it physically doesn't make a fucking lick of sense for such a small archipelago to have like 4 different climates ranging from deserts to glaciers.
And? It's fucking Ace Combat, a lot of shit doesn't make sense.
>AC04 starts on the 19th of september 2004
But the war (and Mobius' involvement in it) started a year earlier. The game just takes place in the "climax" of the war to keep the hype real.
>AC Advance wasn't even developed by PA
I dunno, man. At least it serves the purpose of filling out the gaps. ACXi is solid canon though.
>>127676047
>"In 1995, a well-armed coup d'état force rose up within the Skully Islands, an island nation south of Usea"
Where does it say that in the game?
>>127676165
I gathered information both from the games and from the wiki, which referenced Air Combat's lore to originate from "Aces At War: A History".
>>127676047
>"In 1995, a well-armed coup d'état force rose up within the Skully Islands, an island nation south of Usea"
>quoting the fanfic shit ridden wikia
Oh boy. I should stop reading here and just tell you to fuck off. I don't remember that being EVER being said in the game either and I recently replayed it.
>But the war (and Mobius' involvement in it) started a year earlier
Again: Mobius' first sortie is on september 19th, 2004. Go replay AC04.
>>127676335
The owners of the wiki have openly admitted that it contains fanfic shit.
This is all you get as far as backstory goes in that game:

>>127676362
Air combat was retconned into the skully islands story as the series evolved into strangereal
>>127673810
> series that take place in the same universe
>(Meanwhile) Ridge Racer Type 4 takes place (1999)
Its a shame that that one takes place on the real world instead of strangereal.
>>127676362
>All I know about Ace Combat comes from the games
That's what you're saying. Fuck off yourself.
>Mobius' first sortie is on september 19th, 2004. Go replay AC04.
You wanna play smartass? Fine. I'm listing the games based on the events they picture, a.k.a. the fucking wars they depict, you fucking mongrel. The war didn't wait for Mobius to take off to start.
>>127676564
Tell that to Namco's retcons.
>>127676908
Seriously, we can debate dates and canonity of games all we want as long as Bamco keeps fucking the Timeline
>>127676760
>That's what you're saying
And I stand 100% by it because the lore that isn't contained in the games is shit from side material that isn't translated and/or secondary sources like the abysmal wikia you seem to like so much. Find me the proof of what you're saying in Aces at War and prove that you know japanese and I might reconsider.
>You wanna play smartass? Fine. I'm listing the games based on the events they picture
Then be coherent about them you abo shitstain. Why list the whole length of the war only for some games?
Let's just discuss who's the best ace and why it's Mobius 1
>>127677397
>the game makes a huge deal of why the Yellows only get shot down because the partisans are fucking their shit up and their logistics are fucked up beyond repair, meaning that their planes are falling apart
Yeah, sure.
>>127677548
And they kept getting nuggets transferred in while the vets got transferred out to support other units
>>127677742
>That mission when you're up against a large squadron of yellows but they all go down like chumps
That was... sadder than I was expecting it to be.

The fuck does that have to do with anything?
>only for some games?
Point out which games aren't consistent.
Also, if you want me to actually care about your arguments, cite beter sources for AC lore then.
>>127677397
The true ACE COMBAT patrician knows the best Ace isthe player.
>>127677846
We basically killed a bunch of kids along with 13 and his gf
>>127677983
Granted they were a bunch of kids defending a doomsday superweapon that was about to fire.
>>127676745
I'm pretty sure they all do. I haven't played the newer ones, but the PS1 games all reference Namco games out the ass with billboards on the side of the road and decals on cars. Hell, there's even a billboard for AC in Ridge Racer Revolution. You can see it in this video at around 45 seconds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSM9dfZXFnM
And before you mention it, the whole Reiko and Kei being sisters thing is just another case of Namco being silly. It's not something you really need to take seriously.
>>127678164
In a few of the ridge racers there were billboards for the ISAF and Erusea
>>127677929
>The fuck does that have to do with anything?
Are you fucking retarded?
>>127676335
>I gathered information both from the games and from the wiki, which referenced Air Combat's lore to originate from "Aces At War: A History".
Aces at War has no translation, the only pieces of info we know from it is from the wikia and random posts here and on /v/ (secondary sources). Which aren't reliable, AT ALL. So either prove that you know how to read japanese and post the relevant Aces at War pages along with the translation or fuck off.
>Point out which games aren't consistent.
ACZero, AC04, AC5 don't have the full dates of the conflict. I'm not sure about ACX since it was years since I replayed it and IIRC AC2 takes place in '98, at least the original game.
>>127678450
And in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 there's a whole page of AC decals that you can put on your character's clothes. Doesn't mean much.
>Tekken 3 (1997)
>Ridge Racer Type-4 (1998)
>ACE COMBAT 3 electrosphere (1999)
Old Namco was based beyond belief, press F to pay respects.

Whatever happened to Razgriz patch guy with the squadron and nation patches
>>127679036
I have some saved.
>>127678976
Fuck, I remember that girl!Tried to find porn of her recently, no luck. Also a video game magazine at the time was freaking out that one of the Ridge Racer covergirls was actually a trap.

He might still be around. Check the patch threads on /k/

Does he still take orders, or will I have to find a way to make them myself using the scans, I'm really looking for the mobius, isaf, and yellow squadron ones
>>127678164
No but on Type 4 the races are actually placed on irl cities: Tokyo, Fukuoka, New York and LAI think, sure about NY tho
The other RRs do happen on Ridge City which is believed to be on Strangereal.
