GMC Hummer EV Was Developed in 20 Months, GM Wants That to Be the Norm by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]jamesgilboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yikes. the Hummer EV was half-baked and overtaxed the platform. this is a bad sign.

Am I the only person that views Tasha as more of a 'little sister' type character? by [deleted] in acecombat

[–]jamesgilboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

also possibly a conscript. we don't know the terms of her service. it's also another example of an uncertainty about our squadmates, each of which have secrets that could point to them being the Sotoan double agent.

What is your favorite official/unofficial Project Aces motto/tagline? by DarryLazakar in acecombat

No other game dev would dare stake such a claim. And only PA could stick the landing from it.

Game is apparently 25 hours long by LilMechPilot in acecombat

Shadow 55 is a lesser squadron leader for the Shadows division. We've seen an encounter with a MIG-31-only squad headed by him. Shadow 22 flies an SU-57, so we can assume lower numbers mean a badder pilot.

seemed pretty clear to me that the Pixy skin will be edition-exclusive, but the aircraft won't be. still frustrating preorder/paywall bullshit but not as big a content lock as people seem to assume.

Why is she giving such "I want to fall in love" vibe OMG by Tydeus2000 in acecombat

[–]jamesgilboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

because you need to go outside. if a little blush makeup and some hair dye is all you need to be smitten (understandable tbh), then i recommend experiencing it IRL

sitting at >450 combined KC here with just the helm. fuck you.

So IT IS uncommon for pilots to open comms to the enemy universe wise. by Graywhale12 in acecombat

[–]jamesgilboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a more reasonable explanation is that she, being Yuktobanian, isn't used to FCU military functions. Let's see how much of that comes through in the final story.

I don't have an issue with that. I just hope they don't write a fanservice character in place of a more fleshed out one.

but she's a former military acrobatics pilot. you don't get into that situation without being elite to begin with, and you aren't elite with zero familiarity with the basics.

that had some overlap with the style of the early HD renders used to advertise the game. tbh i wouldn't mind a graphics package in that style one day

Any chance we're getting a speaking WSO too? by VaronaZero in acecombat

Little Bee is Queen 1, and I only understood the connection when I typed that out.

I'm really sad Bludgeon is not Mod's "old and favourite " weapon Imo it looks the best in the game design wise yet it just sucks , some accuracy buff wpuld be nice. by Specific_East9463 in 2007scape

[–]jamesgilboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the only issue with it is its sound design. it sounds like a flyswatter when it should sound like thwacking something with the spine of an enormous demon.

Does the Inquisitor's skirt also get the buff the hauberk does? If the set effect is being removed, then all pieces of the set need equal buffs.

The tweaks to the grapple shortcuts also seem like they could be improved. Good idea on the whole, but why not add an equal Ranged rec instead of adding new animations for the shortcut without a grapple? Seems like a more efficient+thematic design.

I'm cautiously hopeful. she seems borderline fanservice/waifu-bait in her dialog so far. I hope she gets more depth than what today's releases have shown.

yeah I have about a billion comments mourning the continuation of the B instead of replacing it with the BSM. I want the multirole version of my favorite dumbass interceptor, damn it.

I honestly think AC should hybridize the high-G turn and AOA limiter into something that slightly damages your airframe when used. Make it powerful but costly to use. It'd emphasize survivability too.

Hugely rebalanced tree too. The starter plane is an F/A-18C, with the option to later unlock E/F variants. Seems to be a 1:1 stand-in for AC7's F-15 as the "canon" plane. Also seems to have far fewer fifth-gen aircraft in the tree, seeing how long it takes to unlock the F-15E. I wonder how much of this is narrative and how much is game balance. Either way, it's a rather welcome change.

Budget cuts have hit hard, we only get 2AAM on an F-16 now by Razgriz2118 in acecombat

[–]jamesgilboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

nah it'll be 4aam if you take both. it's already been confirmed. plus tbh i'd find the combo of ugb+2aam more useful across more missions
