Puchis need to be in AC7

First option for the /aceg/ original superplane. This will also determine overall size, and other design features.

I'm going with two engines. One is boring and above two is too much. Two engines is just that perfect number.

Played through 4, 5, 0 and half of 6 before I realised I could do High-G turns.

Am I retarded?

>>175946294
High-G turns only appear from AC6 onward, so you're only slightly retarded buddy.

the final duel with him was legendary for me as it culminated everything i learnt to love about the game into one final moment
Zero playing in the background made it even better, with something that i originally thought would never fit in a war environment easily becoming one of the best boss themes ive ever heard, also played to the legend of Razgriz with it reusing Unsung War's lyrics with Cipher being the first coming of Razgriz in my eyes

>>175961610
Felt like Zero was a proof of concept pilot game compared to the longer and more story filled 5.

>>175961610
It had as much heart as 4, and the same more mature tone. 5 just feels immature in every area from gameplay to writing, which makes it drastically weaker than zero and 4 just based off tone alone.

>>175979789
That's funny because it was released after 5. If anything, 5 was an ambitious attempt that fell flat, and PA learned from their mistakes for Zero.

Fighters and Attackers get a 1.6x damage bonus in A2A and A2G respectively while multiroles only get a 1.2x in both, so it's not just you. The main advantage multiroles have is staring off with a shitton of part slots right off the bat and having access to any S.weapon category, which can let them specialize in something you need. For example, I think the only Fighter that has access to a non-blue S.weapon is the Assault Horizon PAK-FA with the MPBM.

Trust me when I say this in the most non-homoerotic, heterosexual manner:
I want to have your babies.

Assuming certain aircraft are in the game coughcoughF-5, this is looking to combine Ace Combat with my favorite aspect of HAWX: being able to customize (at least somewhat) your Loadout. Also, it's gorgeous as fuck and the sound design is pretty great too. and the fact that I can use an Xbox controller right out of the box is handy as hell. All in all, 10/10, would gush about to friends.

You can B-rank the mission update and still get an S on the overall mission as long as you S-rank all four operations you choose. I usually do A-D-E-F, which, if you can fly fast enough, also lets you land and rearm right before Pasternak shows up.

>>176138418 Speaks truly.

How would /aceg/ go about designing an original plane? (Normal or super)
I would post one of my designs, but the only one I actually got around finishing is an abortion of a F-15 ACTIVE rippof with COFFIN integration I did for practice months ago. I meant to mix it with an F/A-18, but it ended up contributing little more than slanted stabilizers. A failure of a design, even if we omit that mixing planes isn't the best approach.

>>176139624
If I got to design a plane it would probably end up looking like a retarded fish, because I can't draw.

Looks a ton like the F-15S, I'm really digging it m8. Any other pics of it?

If this is all there is then I DEMAND you draw more.

>>176140762
I'd also like to add that the only thing keeping the F-15S from being perfect for me is the lack of a canted vertical tail, which the Q-15 has, so this is really activating my almonds.

>>176140601
>>176140762
>people praising the Q-15
Wow, I'm flattered. That's the only picture I've made of it.
It's for a personal setting which I'll resume as AC3 ON MARS (with a few nations here and there) and with some technological regression (cut off from Earth, they had to reinvent most military technology, long story).
As you might guess from "Gekka" in the filename, it was designed by a megacorp with japanese origins (they use the chinese designations because to the martians all of Asia is more or less the same).
The design has a few particularities resulting from changes in demanded specs: the initial program called for minor stealth capabilities, but that requirement was dropped in favour of increased maneuverability late into the program, which prompted a very quick-and-dirty solution of adding canards and the canted tail was kept to remove variables.
The design has two machine guns because they didn't have the time to develop a machine gun with a higher fire-rate in time for the competition, so they just slapped a second one and called it a day.
Their engines are also fuel-less battery-powered turbofan designs, but that's more far-fetched.

how in the fuck does /aceg/ attract all this OC

not that i'm complaining

>>176140762
I can't believe I never noticed the shape of the wings of the F-15S in AC2. I based those of the Q-15 on the F-15-like fighters in one of the Patlabor Movies.

Anon how much have you written of this?

As far as the wing shape goes, I'm certainly not complaining. F-15S was always my favorite Eagle variant and the Q-15 finally gives me the one thing I always wished it had, the canted tail.

Again I demand you draw more.

>>176135443
That one "flight school" manga did it pretty well imo

>>176143609
It started off as my homebrew setting for Battletech, so it was mech focused (I'm a big Armored Core and Front Mission fan), but then I branched out to the beauty of aircraft, something I've liked since I was a kid (my father works in a former american airbase).

The timeframe goes from the early XXIIIrd century to the early XXIVth, but everything before 2247 is backstory. The main focus lies between 2247 and 2343 on Mars, the later date being what I'd consider "present day" when I get down to writing it.

Are you asking about the history or about other elements?

>>176144224
Is it just setting or are you writing it as if it's a story?

>>176144348
For the moment it's just a setting, but I plan on writing on it.

>>176144594
Any other plane designs you've made for it?

>>176139624
Make some polls and crowdsource it, apparently.

>>176144734
None that are drawn, unfortunately. Most of them are quite fuzzy in my head, which is why I've asked for advice on plane design here.

Pic related - my soul when "synchronize the destruction of radars with your wingmen"

>>176145931
Your first mistake was playing Four Horsemen

>>176144902
To elaborate on that, I set some general guidelines for my designs by state of origins:
>Chryse favours delta-wings/canard designs and multiservice designs.
>Tharsis fighters usually have tapered wing/tailplane conventional configurations, with "blockier" designs. They'd look "american" in a way. This is also shared by the Briar and Gekka megacorps.
>Promethia uses more unconventional designs, some being Yukikaze-level outlandish and their main planes would ressemble Neucom products. Their most ordinary designs look like late Cold War/Modern Sukhoi designs.

Other technology and design tidbits:
>Due to radar technology not having regressed since the colonization, their current stealth measures are rather ineffective, making stealth a meme in-universe. (This one is mostly due to stealth being unpopular in my Battletech group).
>Downsizing the massive surveyance radars is still tough, so they didn't manage to develop active missiles till the 2270s. Fighter mounted radars were achieved by the 60s. Before that, IR and laser guidance were the norm.
>Electricity powered engines because there are no hydrocarburants on Mars. Chemical propellants are used on missiles.
>Universalized COFFIN-like technology. If even civilian mechs have them, why wouldn't an aircraft have them?
>No UAV usage between 2265 and 2304 due to international post-war talks. There were unarmed drones, though. Those talks didn't explicitly ban UAVs as they were mostly about WMDs and orbital weaponry, resulting in their wartime usage in 2304.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I hope it was interesting.

It's long and taped. This is a feature only found on the F-4E, RF-4E, F-4G, RF-4C, and RF-4B. Of those only the RF-4B was operated by the USMC off of carriers. It is unlikely that the devs would put a recon version into a game over the F-4E which is the most well known variant.

Additionally, the F-4E is the only one of these variants with an internal gun. If the playable F-4 in air combat can use a gun, the balance of evidence would indicate it is an F-4E.

>>176163680

>>176169281
Gran Turismo and Forza actually try to go for a "sim-lite" experience, with things such as tire temperature, condition, oil temp, condition, different terrain affecting the handling of the vehicle, and with the most recent installments, mechanical damage that isn't just a percentage based health bar covering the whole vehicle.

Ace Combat doesn't even try to be realistic in the same way that GT and Forza do.

But the lasers are harmless and purely cosmetic in-game, just like the meteor shower in the background.

>>176173271
That's true. Was there any reason given for the meteor shower at the end of the game?

>>176174453
Megalith was deorbiting space debris for orbital bombardment.

>>176174889
How long would a space debris orbit the earth after asteroid planetfall, actually?
The Ulysses hit Strangereal in 1999 and yet in 2005 the Megalith was still able to trigger another meteor shower.

>>176176119
It didn't "hit", it passed through Strangereal's Roche limit and was torn apart by tidal forces-- basically it got too close and was sheared apart. Strangereal was peppered by fragments at its surface but many more fragments simply entered orbit from their angle of approach.

>>176176119
>>176177015
Oops, misread your post, looks like you were aware of it. My bad.

>>176176119
I know nothing about orbital mechanics, and will be the first to admit that, but I'd guess it depends on how stable the orbit is. Look at something like Saturn's rings, isn't that all just dust and bits of rock that got stuck in orbit. Or some of those planets with like 60 moons.

Late to the pool, but isn't high thrust desirable, at least for an interceptor? What are the benefits in choosing a lower thruster output?

I'd see the point if those values were put in conjunction with the mass or fuel consumption of the engines, but at this point it looks sort of random. No ofense intended.

You are correct that more powerful engines are generally more desirable. However, larger engines need more airflow, may have a higher specific fuel consumption, are larger in volume and higher in weight, and have a higher cost.

Now that's an interesting plane. Shame it never moved past concept.

>>176216920
I see. So the thrust will mostly have an effect once we decide the final dry and takeoff weights of the fighter and we define how much of that weight is taken by the engine and such.

>>176217079
I immediately thought of the switchblade when I saw that variable geometry wouldn't be added for delta wings, but I get what was meant by that.

>>176216536
Actually, I'm wondering if there are flying wing fighters. There's bombers and other large aircraft, but flying wings? (Other than the post-WW2 flying pancakes)
