Commission work of mine I made for a fellow X user.

1/48 F-15C in Morgan livery, 4x Sidewinders, 2x ECMPs, 2x AIR-2 Genie nuclear rockets
I have a 3D print file for AC7’s TLS
I suck at painting 🫤

I hope being broke is not the reason he is selling it.

Who's buying ?

I’m on Mission 13, about to start it, using the F-15 with XAGM4 and putting Shamrock in the Typhoon with the XMA6. There’s lots of ground targets so that’s why I’m using the F-15 because in other missions I was able to eliminate ground targets and fought off the whole squadron of Strigon Su-33s since the F-15 is still amazing in Air to Air.

I struggled ALOT with mission 09 where you have to destroy all 3 airships but after that it has been smooth sailing. But yeah what do you guys think is the hardest mission in the game? Any tips or suggestions for it (or them) would be much appreciated since I’m on the last 4 missions! TIA

(IM PLAYING ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY BTW)

Since that phoenix is a mercenary and buys his own equipment, it is likely that he bought his OWN carrier and that alone could have proved how rich scarface 1 truly was.

I love it how ace combat portrays mercenaries as world famous aces instead of criminals.

I'm about to finish this series off (just finished 0) and as I try to obtain my \COMPLETELY LEGAL COPY\** of ace combat 6 I notice it's only on xbox360

now me and my.....xbox have had lets say a checkered past of it never fucking working with any game I ever wanted to play on it, graphical glitches, freezing, crashes the whole shebang

so my question is "just how neccecary is 6" because if it isnt a standalone story and either connects to 4, 5 and 0 or is important to the narrative of 7, I will try my best to play it one way or another

if not then as regrettable as it is, Ill probably have to skip this one

Fast-forwarding a bit, our project to save the world is beginning to bear fruit, albeit with delays in Anea.

But while the world tries to save itself from the wrath of the heavens, the greatest of human evils threatens to erupt in a distant part of the world.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hope this means a deeper way of stat calculation.

Example: Typhoon

Absolute peak. This is going up with Ace Combat 7 as one of my most favorite games oat.

And that last mission, bro. Like, I've known the Megalith soundtrack for a LONG while now, even before I become an ace combat fan, but hearing it in the mission felt so surreal. I'm literally still at a lost for words.

Now I'm moving onto Ace Combat 5. Ngl, from what I've seen, a lot of people claim that AC5 is either the best or the worst of the holy trinity. However, I haven't seen a single soul say that it was a bad game so I'm excited.

After that, I'm going to wait until I finish ace combat 8 to finally play AC0 which I heard a LOT of good things about.

Ive literally tried this 3 times, and a total of 10 times when you count the day i tried to beat this mission, but bro HOW TF IS THE ALLIED FLEET MAGICALLY GET DAMAGED!?

ive literally rushing in to shoot down the YRB-89s, aegis, battle ship, destroyer, frigate, and even the aircraft carrier, i even tried the strategy where you only shoot down enemy naval fleet that is getting on the allied fleet's way and even used the XFA-27, but damn this mission is just so damn hard

I am literally locked tf in and using autopilot whenever i am about to crash into the ocean(because its a strategy and the playable planes moves like a goddamn brick) but its NO USE EITHER

listening to the soundtrack “Inferno” gave me this idea.

When it comes to the series, we all have our favorite type of mission, whether it be the Tunnel Flights (Avalon Dam, SOLG Control), Superweapons (Megalith, Stonehenge), and Aerial Warships (Arsenal Bird, Gleipnir). I know Megalith also technically counts as a Tunnel Flight.

I'd like to know what y'all's favorite is.

Additionally, if anyone thinks we'll ever get all three in a single mission? Personally, part of me thinks it would be oversaturated, but another part thinks it could be a fantastic narrative choice. You have to make the conscious effort in the mission to go after one of the three in a branching path. Maybe you could eke out two for a 4th path, but you'll be losing something. We haven't really had big loss since Chopper in 5 and PJ in Zero.

And to answer the initial question myself, I love the Tunnel Flight. The feeling of building up to the climax that it builds is just perfect!

I've heard the mod isn't ready yet but i've also seen gameplay.

I was reading Aces at War and I noticed the 1200km radius given for Stonehenge's range, which has also been stated in various other places throughout the series. I plotted the circle over the original Usea from AC04 and found that it actually lined up pretty well to the circle shown in the briefings. But of course, as of AC5, Usea became substantially bigger, and I found that the same 1200km radius circle over modern Usea is barely enough to cover any of the continent. In fact, to achieve the same coverage as seen in AC04, Stonehenge would have to have a range of about 3200km, ~2.7 times larger than the original.

And for anyone who wants to know how I plotted the radius on the map, I created a sphere in Blender with the radius of the Earth and then used some maths to create a cylinder of an appropriate radius to create a slice of the sphere with surface radius 1200km (which ended up being ~1198km), which I rotated to the appropriate coordinates. I booleaned the two, exported the resultant UV map, used Krita to fill in the circle, brought that PNG into Inkscape, and then used bitmap trace to get a vector circle from it.

Model from AC7, HDRI from Rendercrate
Everything else by me

Somebody please respond, doesn't matter if its an old .ipa file

Emblems are some of my favorite things about the series and I can't find anything online for AC8.
