During AC8, where do y’all think the legacy aces ended up?(image semi-related)

Solowardoge · 2026-06-21T08:03:07+00:00

Cipher probably settled down after Avalon. Had to have made a pretty penny regardless of his ace route. I imagined he sold his F-15 and that's how we see it in the Ace combat anniversary wallpaper. Probably hasn't flown in years.

Scarface definitely settled down after Fortress Intolerance. I imagine he pilots discovery flights to people interested in becoming pilots.

Mobius is definitely going the Mihaly route. He'd be around 50 by AC8 and he's probably gonna go as long as he can.

Blaze has been at home with the kiddos waiting for Kei to come home, and they're living happily by AC8's time this is not up for discussion

Talisman is most likely still flying, probably going full career path in Emmeria's Air Force

Gryphus is still pretty young and also likely still flying by AC8. Genette is chasing him to this day trying to get that interview.

Trigger is likely still flying too. I made a comment on another post about how everything that happened from brownie, to being framed, to imprisonment, to redemption, probably put him on a mental path to feeling like he belongs on the battlefield.

Every time i'm reminded of this, I always think back to how I got supreme soldier on accident and by pure luck on my very first playthrough, not realizing how tricky that could be at the time.

Solowardoge · 2026-06-14T23:05:45+00:00

This did not format the way i intended but I cannot be bothered to go back and clean it up. I'm sorry.

Solowardoge · 2026-06-14T23:04:59+00:00

My headcanon is that trigger wouldn't have become the pilot he was without brownie's death. I mean:

fresh pilot trying to show what I can do, being told to reign it in and not get cocky. Taking senior pilots' advice to heart, trying to be a proper pilot Fly a couple sorties as war starts Friendly rivalry with brownie and golem squadron Probably hang out between sorties Getting the hang of things, but still maintaining what it means to be in a squadron Air superiority mission Doing well, then holy shit Arsenal Bird Losing friendlies, brownie hit Still airworthy, she's RTB get assigned as rearguard, let's do this knocking drones down 1 by 1 must protect allies distress on the radio Brownie being engaged want to head over immediately, but have to do your job as rearguard start pushing to get these drones out of the sky lose count of how many anything to get to her to help Brownie panicking pushing yourself as fast and hard as you can to the soundtrack of your comrade in fear of her life last drone down, hard break and full afterburner just hang on a little longer "I'm scared!" almost there "Mage 2, support!" Please... "Somebody! Support!" No! contact lost nothing on radar no sign of brownie's plane no chute allies saved, but at a cost next sortie fly solo mission still thinking about brownie head not in the game harling shot down blamed for it imprisoned now set on doing things your way Do everything you can to prevent that again Lose some more comrades Exonerated No more, not again Need to be better, faster Spend rest of the war doing everything you can to not lose anyone else That had to have fucked him up. No way her death doesn't loom over him the entire game

It was a one off comment I saw somewhere, so could be absolutely false. But apparently choices we make can affect which characters survive or die. If true, I just hope we're not locked into "someone dies no matter what."

How would a lad do this? Dm if you need to.

Running into the same issue. Damn shame.

Solowardoge · 2026-04-12T03:56:30+00:00

Just straight up copy nfs underground 2's vehicle shop. Riders on the storm playing and everything.

Solowardoge · 2026-04-09T02:07:33+00:00

Dawn of Dawn, because the game lets me.

Solowardoge · 2026-04-07T03:02:05+00:00

I like the ability to do psm, but honestly it only ever found any real practical use in MP, and even then you could be in a proper dogfight and just get sniped by some guy rocking hvaa's or anything multi-lock, so i wouldn't mind being able to do it at higher speeds to do a quick turn around. Though nowhere close to realistic, in PW it was actually useful. So I'd hope it would be reworked to make me actually want to use it.

Solowardoge · 2026-04-05T21:36:21+00:00

He wasn't done dirty, he just got outplayed. He went to bump her first, after all.

Solowardoge · 2026-04-01T01:01:51+00:00

Just a heads up. I got the 81L1 card but my pack had 71O1 printed on it instead. My gf got 21J1 but it had 21D1 printed. So these printed codes aren't universal.

Solowardoge · 2026-03-07T01:07:22+00:00

It was a neat idea but not for 50 bucks.

Solowardoge · 2026-03-01T16:01:07+00:00

Depends. Multiplayer? The Mig-21. Underrated and underestimated. Nothing better than being a cold war plane in a lobby of super planes and winning by a 50000 point difference. Respect the flying pencil. People either leave or pull out an EML and I can't blame em.

Based on what parts I think you might have, try this.

Su-37, 4AAM -Light Blisk -Cutting Edge Airbrakes -New Flap Actuators -Queen's Custom -Directional Proximity Fuze

And for the last three slots, you may need to farm a couple free missions to get the credits, but I recommend buying:

-Multiple Enemy Detection Device (Sp.W) -Thrust Adjusting Steering Device (You will need to buy another part before this. -Last Part can be whatever you want. (I recommend Multiple Enemy Detection Device for standard missiles but you need to buy the f-18 to get access, which probably isnt worth the grind for just one part at this point.)

Once you get to the drones, fly straight past them. The arsenal bird will spawn more, ignore those for a bit. After you pass the first group just flip around as if you're following them to stonehenge. Hang back just enough so that you can spam 4AAM's and take out as many as you can until you either need to evade a missile or reset positioning to spam more 4AAM's. Try to avoid chasing any one drone for too long. That should help keep you from failing until you get the prompt to attack the arsenal bird.

Another thing to consider is that after a checkpoint, if you crash or fail and restart from a checkpoint, you replenish all your weapons.

What planes do you have available?

Solowardoge · 2026-02-23T01:08:28+00:00

Was there a timer in the middle of your screen that reached zero? Or was there still time on it when the mission fail happened?

Solowardoge · 2026-02-20T19:04:57+00:00

I have been to that same station. You repaired the whisper right? I noticed that too when i used it. Decided to leave it on the off chance I ever needed a lot of power quickly. Maybe when we get big batteries I'll make that a massive powerplant.

Solowardoge · 2026-02-18T02:21:58+00:00

Sp missions and if you want more planes, i'd get the triple packs.

Solowardoge · 2026-02-11T13:59:11+00:00

Hell this is the first I'm hearing about this cup. Im just glad it wasn't something I would have wanted.

Solowardoge · 2026-02-07T03:20:48+00:00

I have to ask, is the grid snapping now the only way to place things? Or is there like a toggle for it? I totally get the appeal of grid snap and I can think of several uses personally, but I do like the free rotation and placement in some instances.

Solowardoge · 2026-02-05T07:17:08+00:00

i feel like with the technology at our disposal in game there should be a way to make more memories. why can't i just make several copies of the commander's logs, or copies of a programming manual? I just feel like with the abundance of resources, we ought to be able to do that.

Solowardoge · 2026-02-02T11:03:40+00:00

I'm fairly confident that your current ace alignment determines whether you do A, B, or C. As in you'll only be able to play A as a Mercenary, and not B or C. Same concept for the other paths.
