>>389332605
Probably because you cant dodge missiles for shit.
Use your AA special weapons, high g-turn or what its called in FOL, and use your buddies.

>>389332753
I've been doing all those things with no luck. It's mainly that the enemy ships whittle me down with machine gun fire, and then I can never hit them with missiles because they're always looping. Should I destroy those refueling/ESM aircraft that tend to fuck off to the end of the map each time?

The Strigon Team is known to cheat by breaking the game's rules. Hold down on the D-pad. Use Rockets on the SU-33 if you're still having a hard time. Aim well.

>>389332985
Does the SU-33 have a good special for them or something?

>>389332846
Get fighter with XMA4/6 and keep your distance, XMA outranges machine guns kinda well, also focus on the big ships and fly fast, like sanic fast, hit and run is the way to go.

>>389333121
Rockets are good for taking out the large flying ships, just let your allies take the fighters out. It's the simplest way to do it. FAE bombs with the A-10 also work well, but then you're stuck in a slow plane with weapons that are difficult to aim.

I have my own question to add.
Why do the missiles in AC3 feel so different? It's hard not only for me to hit stuff with them but they also seem to hit me way more often. Plus more than once have I seen my missiles seemingly deflect away from their target when they get close.

I want to fight for the Erusean princess!

>>389332605
Because it fucking sucks. AC6's mission design is best summed up with [RADAR LOCK WARNING INTENSIFIES]

Can't wait. Do we know if VR will be available on PC?

>>389336581
I mean, if you bothered to google it, you'd know it's exclusive to PSVR. Either way, someone might mod it into the PC version, maybe even as a non-VR compatible mission type or could be put up as DLC or with an update after some time for PC.

Xboners are kinda screwed since idk of any way to do VR on Xbox. Unless, they finally decide to release that VR headset they were working on before 2050.

>>389337158
Microsoft's thing at the moment is AR, not VR. It's unlikely.

>>389336479

It's raping my shit too anon. I attempted it like fifteen times yesterday and discarding my failed attempts to fly through the Aigaion on the first approach every other time I was shot down by it when every other enemy had been defeated and only its core remained. Each time it happened so fast I have no idea what actually killed me.

Even without FAEB, using the A-10 unironically gave me both the best results and the most fun.

I'm sad that Tetsukazu Nakanishi apparently isn't coming back for AC7.
Of the NAMCO Sound Team that all collaborated on 04 and forward, he's my favorite. His synth sound is unique.

>>389338184
You talking about for the Aigaion mission?

>>389338067
I feel your pain anon. You don't even have the time to break away and try to land to undo the damage to your ship and resupply your ammo. 9 times out of 10 it's always miscellaneous machine gun fire that takes me out, the Strigon squadron cheats like motherfuckers.

>>389338490
Yeah. It's definitely a lot easier with the splash radii of bombs. Using Allied Assist or whatever it was called to help with the Strigon Team later offsets the handicapped Hog.

>>389338490
>Strigon squadron cheats like motherfuckers
I find the Strigon fight quite fun. You can just rek them with allied support if you don't want to deal with them yourself.

>>389338609
>>389338627
I still don't understand the system with your allies so well. I noticed a meter that seems to fill up over the course of the different fights down by the radar, when that fills is that how you're able to select allied assist and allied attack? I can only ever select regular Support/Cover/Assist or whatever or regular Attack and not the other grayed out options.

>>389338701
Try to hold up and down.
Magic will happen.

>>389338701
The more shit you destroy, the more the allied support bar fills up and the more you can call them in. Hold up on the Dpad to have them attack targets infront of you. Hold down on the Dpad to have them attack targets behind you.

>>389338772
Am I retarded anon? Be honest with me.

>>389339134
The pilot is neurally linked to the plane for minimum response time

Also I assume remaining stationary allows for better G-force cushioning and the ability to push the plane to its limit

Basically means a human pilot can match an AI in piloting ability

The game itself is pretty fun, especially the special raid missions, but you're going to have to get used to being massively underequipped compared to everyone else as well as the absolutely monstrous grindfest the aircraft tree is

>>389339990

The F-14 is MADE to fight Aigaion. You can slag all of the refuelling aircraft on the way into the AO with it's longrange AIM-54 Phoenix's - and its a fast and tough enough bitch to blaze through Aigaion's deck and immelmann turn to sit behind her whilst Strigori team launches and you put them down one-by-one.

Fucking loved that mission, with the seamlessness between the ocean and the sky, duelling with the ace team and their three sky fortresses.

If they can build some like that they probably either have enough resources they don't need to care about fuel, or probably have some form of on-board reactor.

As for landing, it might land in water like a flyable aircraft carrier, alternatively a really fucking big runway.


Thirdly, who needs functionality when you intimidate anything that gets near it, along with laser defense systems and probably about 3 squadrons protecting it?

>>389341819
The convoy kept getting blown up before I could even start taking down the towers shooting at it. One time I tried it and it magically survived despite not playing the mission any differently. Felt like a fucking dice roll every time I tried it a few times a month for a fucking year then it suddenly worked.

Quality game, wish it was on Vita though. Even with the N3DS release it was limited by the platform.

The trick to dealing with the Agaion is to spam attack orders. If you can get all of Strigon in front of you you can call in an allied attack and wipe them out, same for pretty much every AA, engine, missile on the big planes. Target the planes that start off with their engines exposed at the start to get the order meter fully charged quickly.

Good missions, secret / super weapons and a variety of useable prototypes.

The graphics are okayish but the presentation is great, if you keep shooting your guns the screen darkens out because your pilot "concentrate" on the target, and there's a photo-like aspect to the game, it's a rather pleasant and well done game, even if it's nothing to call home about.

Is pcsx2 any better not at emulating AC series?
Also can anyone post guide what games is a must have to play and what should i skip and in what order?

Is this series plot heavy? Does plot starts to get good in ps2 games or i need to play 3 on ps1 too?
Are all games connected via plot or they separate self contained ?

Grab a Typhoon and load it up with rocket pods. You can destroy each of the Aigaion's support ships in a single strafing run. If your fast enough, you can blow the shit out of Strigon team as they are launching on the runway.

With the Typhoon, this mission can be done in less than 5 minutes.

6 has the best mixed air/ground missions in the franchise, Bar fucking none. It's actually heavier on ground targets than air most of the time.

After that you can play 2 if you're curious, or try to emulate the 3DS games but good luck with that.
AC4 is honestly not a super great game and an absolute BITCH to make it work ok on PCSX2.
Don't bother with Assault Horizon on PC (the 3DS version is better)
