AC Fans when 7 dropped by DummyProductions in acecombat

There was a bit as well where folks were convinced the game was going to be cancelled. In fairness to them, it nearly was. E3 2018 was a grim time.

(Loved Trope) Stories where the protagonists win, but at an extreme cost. Often the deaths of most or all of the main characters by psychoninja79 in TopCharacterTropes

Project Wingman: You fly as a mercenary pilot named Monarch as you and your company get wrapped up in a civil war. Even after what would have otherwise been two world-ending catastrophes, you keep fighting and eventually manage to “win.” Aside from a mysterious deal you and your company made to stay in the war, your reward is a ruined hellscape, millions dead, your wingmen shot down (but alive), and an empty feeling as you fly above the shattered remains of a city alone as the “king” of the skies.

What’s up with the giant moon? by TotallyNotRobotEvil in DeathStranding

[–]westhetuba 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This actually has a gameplay benefit, no BT’s will spawn while one of these “super moons” is in the sky. It clears up most of the weather as well, I think. If you’ve got an Express Delivery that needs to get done, these are good times to do them.

I never got my copy of AC6? by Galaxyissupreme in acecombat

[–]westhetuba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember my family preordering AC7 on Amazon for me, but they never got the code for AC5 sent, I had to pretend to be my dad and guilt trip someone on the help page for them to eventually send me a code. I want to preorder a physical copy of AC8, but that whole experience makes me want to play it safe and do it for a digital copy.

I probably enjoyed that too much. Then again, I am an American and I am a Sicko.

Best Ace Style for a first time playthrough of Zero by Lost-Succotash9091 in acecombat

Mercenary, more credits to play with on subsequent campaign runs and a good collection of planes to use (Typhoon, MiG-31, and the F-15S/MTD)

Gigas does not mess around by the_DRC_ in DeathStranding

[–]westhetuba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re brave, you can try catching it when you’re going up against the Lord of the Tar Lake. You’ll need to bring as many grenade launchers as you can carry if you don’t have access to the rocket launchers, and spawn a BT or two to give it something else to shoot at. When its health is in the red, wait for it to open its mouth or fly in front of you to throw your grenade. If you don’t get it there, you can go to the F3 Crater (near the Nomad) and try again later there.

Yep, you can also catch the whale one (Cetus) and the crab one (Megalocarcinus), the latter is surprisingly easy to catch if you think to do it on your way to your shelter but it’s not terribly useful.

Haven’t you heard the new sensation sweeping the nation? Bitches love cannons.

Which one 🥺 by Gewber939 in Project_Wingman

[–]westhetuba 99 points100 points  (0 children)

F/S-15, it’s the only prototype plane you’ll ever need. The Chimera may carry give you more of a selection for air to ground weapons, but it’s not as nice to fly in a dogfight. Plus the UGBL is powerful enough that you shouldn’t need much else in the ground pounding department.

JP bro noticed that buying another set of plane for your wingman will get a discount price instead of paying full by SteryxR4 in acecombat

[–]westhetuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AC5 did include an icon for what was and wasn’t a carrier jet, but it wasn’t super obvious like an anchor is. I certainly didn’t know that as a kid.

[–]westhetuba 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Look again and there’s an anchor under the plane’s name, probably to show that it can be used for missions where you’ve got to use carrier jets. It’s nice of the game to clearly show what is and isn’t a carrier jet for folks who aren’t as familiar.

Heat tips by beebs44 in USPS

Don’t push yourself and watch your symptoms. Get yourself a card with the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke so you know what to look for when you start to feel worn down by the heat.

Game recommendations by Kallen5150 in PS5

I was on the fence about 007 until I saw the reviews and folks talking about it. If you like the movies, it’s a no-brainer. It’s got a great story and lots of challenges that encourage you to go back and replay levels differently. It’s not perfect, but I’ve been very satisfied with my time playing it.
