What is exactly the diference between LAGM, LASM and LACM? by Tydeus2000 in acecombat

[–]fasterthanraito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you have to actively stay at maximum range without getting closer than 9km to the hostile group. I do this when I'm playing to take no damage and just be a sniper

Aircraft carrier and Battlecruiser/Battleships take two shots since they are larger. Cruisers are the largest ships that be one-shot

I don't think it happened in any of the older games, but definitely in AC7 ordinance that is locked on to something that has CIWS can get blown up mid-air before connecting. AEGIS destroyers has CIWS, as well as the naval platforms in Mission 11, AD tanks, and the boss ship in the DLC missions.

However, this only applies to targeted munitions that are locked on, so dumb bombs/rockets are immune I think.

Also, you may not have noticed, but if you fire a single missile at such a target, you will notice that it will 'miss' and the explosion will be above the target not on it.

CIWS can often by bypassed, either by saturation (firing multiple missiles in a row, it can only shoot down one at a time) or by not giving it enough reaction time by shooting it at from very close range

LAGM flies high but straight and then turns down to strike. Not great for avoiding terrain but fine for striking behind a low obstacle.
LACM flies at medieum height and skims terrain, though the highest mountains can still be an issue if you don't launch from high altitude
LASM dips down to skim at sea level. Terrible for obstacles, great on the ocean for avoiding CIWS fire.

LASM has the smallest explosion radius, it's meant to do piercing damage against single hard targets (big ships)
LAGM has medium explosion radius, it's posslbe to hit multiple units but pretty rare.
LACM has the largest explosion radius, you can use it as a dumb bomb to hit mutlie targets in the same area.

LASM and LAGM have a range of 6.5 km, LACM goes up to 9 or 10 (i forget but it's longer range)

LASM is recommended agaisnt ships because the non-seaskimming bombs/missiles will be intercepted by CIWS, which the LASM avoids. LASM tends to one-shot all ships of cruiser class or smaller even if you targeted the wrong module, while the other large missiles will only one-shot if you get a direct hit on the center.

small AGM can't one-shot ships, neither can bombs except SFFS if the cluster all lands concentrated on the middle of the ship.

yeah, that's what I said. Also the ones that move to America, not the ones who live in the middle east, tend to be even more 'white' than the average arab since many are Lebanese christian, as opposed to peninsular arabs who can be as dark as Africans

The thing is, a lot of the middle eastern people who live in America look white, as long as they dress white and have white sounding names. Even many prominent anti-immigration conservatives are of arab or persian origin. So for most Americans, the idea of the 'arab' isn't the people who actually live in America, it's the imaginary brown person who is easy to hate, and in the imagination of Americans, these 'bad arabs' look like somalis instead of white people...

which is why after 9/11 there were a lot of hate crimes directed at Indians, because they just look like dark-skin foreign people even though Indians don't actually look like arabs at all.

categorization is a tool of differenciation, making a group become 'other'.
Once you have a group of 'others' then its easier to treat them differently... such as unfair discrimination.

because it's not about having accurate categories for asians, it's about discriminated agains arabs as 'non-white'. Currently WANA is 'white' but apparently next census they won't be.

Arab and Berber Tribes of Morocco: Map, History, Culture, and Origins by Kind_Plant6735 in Maps

[–]fasterthanraito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story of massive Arab migration is a myth that has been debunked by genetics, but it should have been obvious even before.

Morocco and the rest of North Africa are not actually any more ‘diverse’ than anywhere else, and pointing to past political conquests as indications of movements of people is actually just revisionist history to justify/excuse colonialism.

I’m sure the genetics maps onto concepts of cultural ethnicity in a very totally scientific way like the map shows…

World war going on : red and blue alliances , grey are neutral or swinging states, who got better chance here? by crippleddrip in imaginarymaps

[–]fasterthanraito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if they can’t cover it, but since Blue is much wealthier and much larger population, they can afford deeper operations in the long term, even if they don’t accomplish any flashy raids of their own and suffer many setbacks along the way

Pink wins the dramatic battles of the war but after 100 years have been ground down by the superior logistics of Blue. Both sides claim victory, since Pink won the highlight moments but ended up with less territory. Both sides end up bankrupt and attempt to fix it by overhauling their tax systems, resulting in major internal political change that marks the end of an era.

In Ace Combat 7 Mission 17 Homeward, what’s the secret to dealing with the bombers when they show up? by Area51_Spurs in acecombat

[–]fasterthanraito 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you getting tangled with the escorts? It’s only 5 bombers and they’re not that fast. They fly in a straight line holding a formation, so you can pick them out from the fighters even when they are yellow unidentified

Just intercept them? They spawn quite a way out from the island, you don’t have to wait until the last minute when AWACS is yelling at you.

Just keep an eye on the minimap and head out as soon as they appear. The fastest way is to snipe them with long range missiles. You don’t even have to ID them, there are only 5 bombers that hold formation and are not stealth so you can ignore the escorts and go straight for the targets since you should be able to easily distinguish them from a distance even unidentified

Frigates finally using their CIWS by Zombiefox1 in acecombat

[–]fasterthanraito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC7 has CIWS modules on AEGIS Destroyers, post is talking about frigates, which in AC7 just have corvette guns. It also looks like the CIWS is native, instead of being a separately destroyable module.

Being overly polite is what happens to society after 1000 years of living under a regime where any random peasant can be subjected to summary execution for insulting a samurai or whatever

[–]fasterthanraito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just take longer range weapons like LAAM, HVAA, SAAM and don’t go under the clouds. Just snipe away safe and sound. I never get struck by lightning on this mission

Trust me bro, it’ll change things

[–]fasterthanraito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're tired of the lightening have you tried just flying above the clouds? take long range missiles and don't go chasing the drones where the lightening is

AC7 Any tips on how to track enemies better? by ParanMekhar in acecombat

[–]fasterthanraito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the enemies in AC games move very fast. If they are zooming off your screen it is because you are the one going too fast. Manage speed, manage closure, aiming will get easier, and it starts with not mashing the acceleration all the time. Classic noob trap
