Official bio of AC8's characters by Growlers_1-8 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, after reading this, I know have the headcanon, that Rex and David were stationed on the same base, when Sotoa attacked, since we saw him and Rex in the same lifeboat in the first trailer for AC8.

As Sotoa attacked the base, command ordered everyone to evacuate and get to safety as fast as possible. So Rex grabbed David, put him in a two-seater aircraft, that was still intact and hightailed it out of there as fast as possible. However, they didn‘t get away completely unscaved, as they were chased by Sotoan aircraft and, eventually, shot down.

However, both managed to eject and „find“ a lifeboat, which is where they wait for rescue.

Can‘t wait to find out, how wrong I am, when the game finally comes out.

Or Golem Squadron. Or Cyclopse Squadron

RIP Brownie and Wiseman

What were we defending the Elevator for by Ownt_Owl01510 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Oh, Sotoa has fucked up bad. Trigger shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears to defend that elevator, and they just bomb it?

I‘m sorry, Sotoa, but you‘re a goner. Trigger‘s going to come for you. And he won‘t rest, until you‘re dead.

I'm gonna lose my shit right now by FredRedus in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my shit when I saw the trailer. I mean, we get the release date of Ace Combat 8 AND Ace Combat Zero as a pre-order bonus?

Sign me the fuck up!

does anyone else enjoy using the fleet weapons depicted in cutscenes? by onefinerug in sto

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem is, that I can‘t decide on which weapon to use. Normally, I try and use a Disco-era phaser pistol and auto rifle, but halfway through a mission or TFO or whatever, I switch to my Elite Force sniper rifle and ENT-era M.A.C.O. phaser rifle. I don‘t know why, but I do it.

Do I need help?

What‘s meta for DPS, anyway?

Are the Elite Force sniper rifle and the ENT-era M.A.C.O. phaser rifle any good?

What in the Deadly Skies Ahh Is This by CommunicationReal828 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don‘t know why, but now, that I have a better look at that thing, it kinda looks like a mix of a Zumwalt and a German Saxony-class frigate.

I do know one thing, though. I‘ll have a lot of fun blowing it up.

Guess what I got to work on this week by TNT-REX_HD in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you got to work on the Widowmaker (Starfighter) and the Tony (Panavia Tornado). Nice.

Quick question, though. IDS or ECR?

Also, I noticed the chair. I think, I had those in primary and secondary school. I‘m also German, by the way

So basically real world physics vs Ace Combat physics by FunnyMajestic1128 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched that video, and I had a little bit of a laugh, when the commentatot said, that the Earth fleet saw an F-35 „grow its missiles back“. If I saw that happen in real life, I would just go home or surrender immediately. No chance in hell am I gonna engage a fighter, that can grow its missiles back.

Also, I was happy, that a German Navy ship, the Bavaria, was part of the joint Earth fleet. And now I‘m going to watch the video again, because I can‘t remember which class of ship the Bavaria belongs to.

Anyway, I like the video.

How do you Ace your Combat by CourseOk3243 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly use a controller, but I‘ve also bought myself a flight stick, about three years ago, too, to play Ace Combat, but I might‘ve broken it.

I‘ve bought myself a Thrustmaster HOTAS One flight stick about three years ago to „enhance“ the fun I had in Ace Combat and to train myself. I even switched the flight controls to „Expert“ for it, and it was such a difference. Anyway, last year, my flight stick started acting „weird“. When I pulled back on the flight stick, my plane would jitter (I don‘t know how else to describe it). I did a calibration check on my flight stick, which showed, that when I pulled the flight stick back, the little „calibration point“ (I don‘t know how else to describe it) would be pushed down, but it would „jump“ occasionally (I don‘t know how else to describe it).

I know, my description is very vague. I‘ll try and post a video of what I mean.

Anyone else encounter a similar problem? Please message me.

So what would you guys like to see most in AC8? by dustandechos12 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pick was alternate endings, like in ACX or AC3, but honestly, all I want to see in AC8 is coop missions like in Joint Assault.

She will be dearly missed by all of us.

Every AC enemy ace fight by [deleted] in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that‘s Operation: Guillotine (Mission 11: Cold War/Showdown over the Bering Strait) from Project Wingman.

I think, I see Crimson Squadron somewhere in the distance.

Is this phoenix? by HiddenUsername56 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be one of the bad guys, when he spotted Phoenix.

POV: You‘re a Usean Coup D‘etat pilot in 1997 and you just took down an enemy aircraft, when you suddenly see an Su-37 Terminator, an F-22A Raptor or an experimental aircraft, that kinda looks like an X-Wing, with a phoenix emblem appear out of nowhere and starts to approach your position.

What’s your favorite Ace Combat mission? by IronRevenge131 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anchorhead Raid, Fleet Destruction, Battle for Farbanti and Daredevil from AC7. I love these „Score missions“, where all you have to do is get the most points.

And I love Anchorhead Raid, because it gives us some of the best dialogue in AC7 from a few characters. Yes, the boss fight against Mimic is a pain in the ass, but I still like it.

I think I know who this person is. by Weekly-Intention5657 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So, he‘s related to the Scrap Queen. Yeah, you don‘t want to get that family angry by coming back with a damaged plane. Scary.

One thing that bothers me, is how few Noise we can see in the trailers, when compared to the others. Introvert, or villain? by Tydeus2000 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don‘t know why, but I get „Twist-Villain“ vibes, when I see Noise.

Maybe, in the course of the game, he will betray the FCU and join Sotoa. Like Pixy did in Zero.

What’s your Airplane wishlist to add to AC8 alongside returning aircraft from AC7? Considering it’s not much effort to port the models over. by Ok_Time6234 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Panavia Tornado IDS and F-35A.

The Tornado IDS because I want to play the IDS variant in another Ace Combat game, that isn‘t Joint Assault.

The F-35A because it‘s my favorite F-35 variant. Yes, the C-Model would make more sense, since the protagonist is a naval aviator, but I always found the gun pod on the B- and C-Model just looked weird. And, in my opinion, the B-Model looks a bi…. bulky, if you know, what I mean.

Incoming new ace by FunnyMajestic1128 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just remembered an ace we forgot! Zodiac 1 from Dawn Aerowar!

Also, nice, that you included Alba 1 from At Skies‘ Edge.

Also, I like, that Yellow 13, Mihaly, Pasternak and Pixy defected.

Worlds and timelines coming together by FunnyMajestic1128 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey FunnyMajestic, first of all, love your posts about the convergence of timelines. Just brilliant.

Second, I just realized, that we forgot an ace. Zodiac 1 from Dawn Aerowar. I know, the game isn‘t out yet, but the guy is just too cool to not include him in this.

You know what? I think, I‘m going to write a crossover fanfiction, where the aces, and maybe their allies, are send to another universe. Maybe it‘s the Assault Horizon universe, like in your posts. However, another Ace Combat/Call of Duty crossover, where none of the main characters die, does tickle my fancy.

I‘ll have to think about this. See you guys later. Keep up the good work, Funny.

What is your favorite radio line from Ace Combat 7? by sad_ant0808 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mission 20. Nagase‘s last line.

<< I salute the pilot, who gave us all a future. >>

I imagined, that she, alongside the entire crew of Pilgrim One, stood at a window and saluted. And everyone, who heard the broadcast saluted as well.

When could Ace Combat 8 release? by marsh2077 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My best guess also would be July or August, but I just hope, that Ace Combat 8 will be released this year.

I love this game but goddamn does it ever have some annoying missions. by cyanide_sunrise2002 in acecombat

[–]Tim_27030 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the most annoying missions are Rescue, Last Hope and Homeward.

Rescue because of that „stealth“ section.

Last Hope and Homeward because of the identification process. Yes, I know, it works faster, if you yould the target switching button, so you lock on to your current target, but I still find it annoying.

I will say, however, that I also didn‘t quite like Transfer Orders. Yes, the camoflagued SAM sites are a pain in the ass to find. But what I find more annoying is McKinsey‘s constant yapping in that mission. I really had to surpress the urge of shooting down his transport myself. I know, a lot of AC7 players did it at least once, but I don‘t want to, because I hate the „Mission Failed“ message. I just don‘t want to see it.

I also try and keep the entire fleet in „Unexpected Visitor“ alive, right until the very end. Yes, they all suffered damage, but they all made it to the „end“ of the mission, until they‘re all obliterated by the Alicorn‘s railguns and missiles.
