Depending on who you listen to, it's either Satan in a plane or the second coming of the wunderwaffen. Personally, I think the program had it's stumbling points in finding a design that met the requirements of three service branches, but Lockheed managed to pull it off somehow, and the plane looks like it'll do well for itself once it's got the standard teething issues worked out

I actually thought that the "guy" in the backseat of Blaze's trainer was Kirk wearing a flight helmet. Besides, if both of Gennete's hands were holding Kirk, how would he have triggered the microphone when the latter barked suddenly at a random moment?

>you will never play AC6

Sixty years ago some people declared that missiles had made dogfighting obsolete. This proved to be somewhat premature as early missiles were, in a word, dogshit.

However this concept lead to the development of the F-4. A tri-service fighter bomber built around a good radar and long range missiles designed to engage and destroy enemy aircraft before they could even see it. While the F-4 Phantom II did not validate obsolescence of dogfighting, it did prove to be a world beater, one the best and most versatile aircraft of its generation.

Enter the F-35. A tri-service 'strike fighter' designed around its stealth capabilities and advanced radar and sensors to detect and destroy enemy aircraft before they could even see it. The concepts are essentially the same, but the quality of missiles has vastly improved, from the 4%pkr of the AIM-4 Falcon to the 46%pkr of the AIM-120.

In terms of kinematics, the F-35 is sub par by 4th generation standards. The most maneuverable variant, based on publicly available data of sustained turn rates, is barely able to outperform the F-4E. The F-35B would be out performed. (In a real dogfight the F-35 would win almost every time due to superior ITR nose pointing and other factors.)

Where the F-35 (and F-4) really shine is in a ground attack role. The F-35 will essentially take over the role that the F-117 had. It will be able to penetrate and dismantle integrated air defense systems with greatly increased survivability as compared to current platforms.

>>175272153

>lol ur pompous

What's it like to be a literal retard?

>>175270939
So then will the F-35 also be adapted for air superiority roles? I'm not sure there are enough F-22s to rely on it if we got into a war or something

>>175272153
I'd tell you, but someone would probably report me for advertising.

>>175272941
Now I'm curious about it too.

Will the F-35 serve as an A2A plane (HEAVILY modified of course) or will we coast along with F-15/18/22s until another alternative arises?

>tfw no more F-22s
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR

>>175273110
It's because of this one autistic-oversensitive-puchiloving reportfag who loves ruining this general

>>175272749
>>175273372
The F-35 is perfectly capable of performing the air superiority role. The Radar, stealth, and weapons should more than make up for its inferior dogfighting ability.

>>175273110
If he doesn't care for the tone of my writing, that's fine. That's his subjective opinion.

>>175273372
You know what would really help the F-35 in a dogfight situation? Canards.

In all seriousness though, I think the fleets we have now would be sufficient until planes like the F-15 and F-18 are retired. Perhaps in the future the F-22 will serve as a springboard into a lot of different roles.

On the other hand, if we got into a war with somebody and started losing planes, perhaps they'd start up F-22 production again.

>Lockheed pls

>>175273935
>The Radar, stealth, and weapons should more than make up for its inferior dogfighting ability.

I agree.

As much as I love slavplanes and their supermaneuverability, those sorts of crazy maneuvers aren't incredibly helpful when you have planes engaging in electronic warfare and shooting at each other from 30+ miles away from each other.

That isn't to say supermaneuverability is useless, just that being able to perform a kulbit doesn't really help you when your opponent is over the horizon.

>>175274668
It has been since WW2 let's be honest. You don't need maneuverability as much as you just need better energy retention to win fights.

If you are faster or higher up than the enemy you have all the advantages.

>>175275716
I wonder if anyone ever died to that first volley of missiles.

>>175274448
Pretty much every 'kill' on an F-22 is because the pilot got dumb and tried to use supermaneuverability instead of sticking to basic ACM.

>>175276331
Right, next to how advanced the weaponry, radar, etc. is becoming, supermaneuverability is virtually moot.

Vector Thrust comes to mind if you just want challenges.

Sky Rogue for some roguelike.

That one animu game on steam that was popular here for a while.

Pretty sure I remember some 360 game that was around the same time as AC6 called Over G Fighters or something, no clue what that was.

Energy Airforce if you want some more sim-esque experience.

The Wings over XYZ series also comes to mind. Although again, sim-light.

Macross Ultimate Frontier in Ace Combat mode.

I am sure there is more or some more and better ones.

Anon Blaze is an airplane.

>>175330376

I thought he was a state of mind. The Zen of being 40 thousand feet in the air, moving faster than the speed of sound. Knowing full well that every moment you spend as such going against everything that a human is meant to do. To go beyond the limitations of the self, a doughy mass of meat that was never meant to leave the ground or know true speed, and to become one with a machine that breaks to limits to dizzying degree. Then to match those new found abilities and feelings against those of others who have loosed their earthly tethers, to see which is the greater.

I thought that was what it meant to be "Blaze".

And other than the 8 FAEB, it can carry 16 XLAA, so it can do air to air just fine too. And it could also carry uh 12 napalm bombs. But they kinda suck, I find.

>>175355865
IMO the XLAA is the best A2A weapon, so in addition to carrying FAEBs, it quite literally has all the bases covered.

So it's okay to reveal the entire spoiler even to those who haven't played it?

Please correct me on this as I have no idea when it is OK to let the spoiler unmarked in the open just like the fact that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father

>>175355865
>>175355998
XLAAs (and I guess XMAAs too) let you defeat each of Buddy's phases in one salvo once you know the trick. If the TLS didn't exist in ACZ, they would be the best weapons for speedrunning A2A missions.

>>175355435
>>175355554
>>175355749
Trying to aim the XB-0, I think I used to do it like that too. Or maybe it was the Aigaion? I don't know. Was so easy anyway. And this time I managed to get Espada 1 right away, and 2 not 30 seconds later, she didn't even have the time to get sad!
The Su-27 (37? I forgot) that come from the south are weird though, they just flew straight and didn't try to dodge or engage.

>>175358987
>once you know the trick

What is it?

>>175360675
Normally missile-type SP weapons (with some exceptions) take a second to drop away from your aircraft before their motors activate, which makes them too slow to use at close range. However, if you're inverted, they fly straight off the hardpoint as soon as you press the button.
So, if you fly at Buddy while inverted, and get the timing right, you can easily hit him with six missiles (4 XLAAs + 2 regular) in one pass/salvo.

>>175361112
Is the timesave on buddy worth the time lost to making multiple Avalon runs? FAEBs are a huge timesave if you're doing any% and not ILs

>>175361267
That's actually a very good point. I was only thinking of individual missions, and not a whole campaign playthrough, so 'speedrunning' was probably the wrong word to use.

My record for shooting down Buddy is 1:10 using XLAAs. I think using regular missiles only would bump that time up quite a bit, but overall it would be faster if you're using FAEBs at Avalon. Are you allowed to quit to the menu, then continue, to re-select your SP weapon?

If you're hardcore, you COULD dumbfire the XLAAs at Avalon's targets, but you'd still lose time by slowing down to line up shots. And if you're fast enough to dumbfire XLAAs at ground targets within Avalon that quickly, you could probably just bomb Buddy using the FAEBs instead.
