we do namco threads a bit differently here

...

So who is the best ace of the series?

...

I bought Ace Combat 6 today after discovering that my 360 still works. I hope it's fun.

Mobius 1 is the undisputed best Ace. He pretty much won the war on his own. If I remember right, the last mission is the only one that had friendly fighters.

Cipher.

Galm 1 was pretty tight yeah he had support but he stayed true to his team rather than being alone

>game only lets you fly the canon aircraft after you beat it

Not quite true, the last mission is the only mission that has other members of Mobius Squadron, but they're literally just temporary members that come from other friendly pilots you fly with throughout the game. In fact most missions see at least 2 or 3 other friendly pilots help you out (like you need it, you're Mobius Tittyfucking 1).

I have never not loved one of these.

>needing any plane besides the F-22, the Mig-31, and the A-10.

Cipher is Yellow 13.
Prove me wrong.

I come here for the pixy memes

>When you bring the A-10 to what you think is a ground only mission
>2nd half of the mission has tons of dogfighting

THE 8492ND SQUADRON DOESN'T EXIST!

What is the most fun plane in zero, so far the terminator is my favorite.

04 still emulates like a pile of turd
5 is running flawlessly though
nagase is cute

4 emulates so badly because there is no substitute for the real thing.

>using it on that one mission where you have to dodge fire from Excalibur and need to get out fast and turn sharp
>using it on the mission just before 8492

For fun I like taking the Prowler for a spin sometimes.

Is AC purely simulator or quite arcade-y?

Why do weebs love it?

It's bretty gud.

It's meme dialogue and badass music and planes that you can shoot down, what's not to like?

100% pure simulator

my hands went numb just by watching.
fuck i need to git gud.

I feel like Armored Core fans and Ace Combat fans are the twin fanbases separated at birth, and not because of the letter abbreviations. They seem to have a lot in common.

I was sweating every time I flew into this tunnel. Pretty sure I would melt if something like that happened to me.

ace combat zero was stupid

>MiG-31
Why would anyone fly the plen of much sped but of no turnings?

Is it bad that horizon was the one that introduced me to the series?

Man, Talisman did a lot. At the same time, due to the allied support, he's the best leader in any Ace Combat Air Force.

It's alright user, just as long as you recognise that it's shit after experiencing the rest of the series.

And if you're like me, also the plane of can't see nothings in cockpit mode. It's a pain in the ass but it's a godsend on missions where it makes you go over places all over the map. Like when you need to find Nagase's signal when she's lost or when you gotta chase the bombers escaping with jamming. Basically, anytime you need to go fucking fast.

I finally went back and finished AC5 over the weekend. Any time those fuckers came on the radio was fucking tense

All of the Russian planes have terrible cockpits with something blocking at least 30% of your view.

Cockpit view changed how I picked my planes, going from a literal flying coffin like the MiG-31 to something like the F-16 with that great, unobstructed view. Makes me wonder why HUD is more popular, and always in the webms and not Cockpit.

To be perfectly honest, I've played those games so much that the only way to feel satisfied with them is by cranking up the difficulty by playing with obstructed view.

Is there a plane with worst obstruction than the Mig-31?

The F-117

I played 04 first, and in HUD. After 5 and Zero I went back and played with a friend and he went with Cockpit, then I started doing it. Then I played 6 entirely in Cockpit, I can't even go back to HUD.
