Steve Richie in an F-4D Phantom. They've got one of these on display outside a VA in a nearby town, I got to sit in the cockpit once.

His interviews about the last two are a pretty interesting read

I wanted to like this game but others on this board like it and i don't wanna be them. The game sucks because /v/ likes it, especially older /v/.

From what I see in this thread, modern /v/ seems pretty realistic about their expectations.

Post some planes, buddies

>>387650919
>About 30 to 40 minutes into the flight, we got the radio call from ‘Disco’ that an outbound US plane had been hit by a MIG’ missile and was leaking fuel and hydraulics. This is a very bad thing for a pilot. He had broken away from his flight and must have panicked because you always stay with your flight mates, no matter what. He was all alone and had been hit and that’s when the MIGs all come after you and shoot you down. Knowing he was a sitting duck, I immediately turned north to help him out.
>I picked up the two MIGs at about 10 o’clock and they were trailing our man, preparing to shoot him down. The lead MIG and I passed about 1,000 feet from each other. I could see the pilot in the cockpit. He was wearing a leather helmet, I think.

>We had also learned that the MIGs liked to set a trap by getting our pilots to engage on the first MIG passing and if you turn to get the first MIG, the second MIG is right behind you and shoots you down. They didn’t care about the first MIG and would actually sacrifice that one to get you. So I let the first MIG pass and engaged the second one that I knew was coming.

>I was able to maneuver behind the MIG #2 and fired two Sparrow missiles at him. The first missile hit him dead-center in his fuselage, breaking the MIG into two pieces and creating a huge fireball. There was debris everywhere. The second Sparrow hit him too going through the fireball and debris. I had to take severe evasive action to avoid flying into the debris and went up and to the left in a split-second. That was 47 seconds into the dogfight, so it happened very, very quickly

>I call the MIG that day the ‘shiny MIG’ because most of them were a kind of gun-metal gray but that one gleamed. At that point, the dogfight was in a gigantic rotating circle and MIG #1 was trailing my number four, a young kid named Tommy. It was his first mission. He radioed that he had a MIG on his tail and when I spotted him, there was MIG #2 closing on him. I cut across the circle to get to Tommy quicker and just wanted to get the MIG off his tail; so I shot another missile at the MIG, trying to get him to turn off the kid. Well, the missile hit MIG #2 dead-center too.

>Ritchie had radioed in “Splash One” and “Splash Two” (the radio signals for downed MIGs) within 89 seconds, something that had never been done before. “My two MIG kills that day were immediately confirmed by radar and intel sources on the ground.”
>There were no victory laps though, we had just received radio alerts that two more MIGs had been vectored toward us. We would have stayed and got them too, but we were down to about three minutes of fuel for flight time. So I decided to get us out of there fast.

>On the second kill, I was just trying to get him to turn around, so I could use my guns on him. The chances of firing three perfect missiles are incalculable.
>The Sparrow missiles have an 11% probability of kill rate. That means that using those missiles at that time would hit an enemy aircraft only 11 out of 100 times.

when you boil it all down to make it sounds super simple and stupid, yeah, but like, that's fine I know it's not for everyone.

AC5's gameplay is pretty bad. It relies way too much on scripted events, and spawns way too few enemies at a time so you barely ever get nice big engagements with lots of planes everywhere. 4/0/6 are much better.

AC5 is fine, I don't know why they tried to go more "sim" and less "arcade" with the stiff controls and dropping mid-battle landings and rearming. I do agree 6 is better than 5 from the gameplay, the stages were better too.

Attackers are pretty much always just bad planes that there's very rarely a real reason to use, so they're not really necessary. Though yeah, it did need more planes. I understand that it would have taken more effort than usual since 6 had those really detailed cockpits, but even so, it needed more.

>The Sparrow missiles have an 11% probability of kill rate
This was surprisingly the average for air to air missiles until the Sidewinder AIM9L in 1980s, where the British used it on their Sea Harriers to get a ratio of 80% kill rate. The huge jump from 15% caused the pilots to nickname it the "Wish Me" since they only had to wish the enemy dead.

AH has the F-35B, not the A. ACI has the A and the B. They're unfortunately not that good in ACI, though. B has shit weapons, and A is okay but isn't that impressive compared to a bunch of other easily accessible fighters. The special version of the A is good, but it looks like shit.

Best wingman

the only flaw in the entire series is that it doesn't have a realistic (or at least minimalistic) HUD mode

turning off the HUD is extremely comfy, too bad it makes it nearly unplayable. it feels cool as fuck to hunt enemies visually and navigate by landmarks and everything. spotting a guy in the distance and trying to keep track of his maneuvers and then actually getting in range to see him is neat, pressing triangle and waiting for a square to turn red is less so

Your face is an ugly monstrosity, you abortion fag

How much do you think it costs to license plane names like "SU-35" or "F-22"?

Or are planes not trademarked the way guns are?

>>387656135
I saved a picture of an F-35 and then posted it in a facebook message one time. a copyright disclaimer was sent in my message in the actual message content as if I had pasted it in. I was extremely spooked

so I don't think they are much looser with their licensing, but there is probably a different brand image factor. the worst violence you ever see in ace combat is a square disappearing, in shooters you are murdering people left and right. it's probably more difficult to get a license depicting a company's products being used to slaughter an airport full of people than to delete red squares
