nine-gear crow posted:Opening cutscene to Mission 2 (actually it's the cutscene that precedes the Tutorial, I just slammed Melissa and Voychek's scenes together for the sake of flow); she comes across her husband's plane crashed in a field outside of Gracemeria, implying he got shot down during the evacuation. She knows it's his because there's an angel painted on the nose with her name on it. Haha, wow, that is just amazingly awful: I was thinking he might have been that POW who talked about losing his wings, but I guess he might have given a thought to his wife in that case. Nice to know her husband didn't even last as long as those poor AC5 nuggets.

I guess it would technically be telling someone to "lay with the demons," which sounds either like something a South Texas crazy would yell at people from a street corner or a line from DOOM Doesn't have quite the same impact as telling some guy to engage in a celestial cha cha, I say.

Yaaaaaaaaassssssss this LP is gonna be my loving jam. Please tell me that you plan on switching up your planes from time to time because I remember watching an "expert" playthrough of this game on Ace difficulty and it was so very boring to watch because the guy kept using the same drat planes over and over (Raptor, Su35, Rafale, and Typhoon) as well as the same drat paint schemes (Mobius, Yellow 13, Orange, and the loving eye cancer that is iDoLm@stER). I feel almost compelled to do this so excuse me for trying to pay the tax: Go dance with the angels, Crow. Show them exactly why you are the Ace of Aces, man.

I want the idolmaster skins tattooed onto my eyeballs. It's still the most darkly hilarious thing I've seen in a video game. "Mobius 1 shot down three entire squadrons of manned aircraft all by himself. And by god, he looked kawaii during the whole thing." Picture the narrator's story from 04, but instead of chasing "Yellow 13" he's pursuing "Blue Chihaya." This is the man that I seek:

No seriously, Even if I am a LLer first and foremost, you don't talk down the iM@s skins in this game. They're all beautiful angels to be danced with, and I thank P-san and 765 Pro for bringing them to Emmeria, and I look forward to seeing them in this LP if nine-gear crow has any of those DLC available.

Anea Landing Mission 5: Operation Music of the Tides – January 26th, 2016 Missed Operations #3 Overview: The Emmerian mainland counterattack commences. A massive landing force is steaming towards the southern port city of Ortara, home to an REAF air base and a massive off-shore oil drilling and refinery complex. Garuda Team is called on to provide air support for the Emmerian flagship Marigold and her fleet as they engage the Estovakian naval presence south of the oil rigs. Meanwhile, Warlock Battalion moves in from the coast to engage the brunt of the Estovakian ground forces farther inland in the desert, while Quox Battalion and Yellow Jacket Flight move in from the west to recapture Ortara and its local air force base.  Guest Commentator: It began initially as coincidence and blossomed into a running joke, but after being stuck for five straight games in a frozen wasteland, Dr. Snark has finally burst out into a much warmer climate, all the way to the other end of the spectrum and into the middle of a desert.   McKNIGHT Real Name: Louis McKnight Callsign(s): N/A Age: 34 Sex: Male Nationality: Emmeria Signature Plane: Challenger II Tank Voice Actor: Kirk Thornton Our third POV narrator. Well, third and a half if you count that brief interjection by that rando Emmerian pilot in Voychek’s second POV segment, anyway. A sergeant and tank commander in the Emmerian Army serving as a part of Warlock Separate Battalion under the command of Gary Campbell. We’ve actually seen McKnight in action prior to his official debut here just prior to Mission 5; he crossed paths with Melissa in eastern Anea during the wartime evacuaction. He was the soldier with the bullhorn standing on top of the tank yelling at all the refugees to get across that bridge before they blew it up. Though as the follow up cutscene to that shows, he kind of didn’t, as the Estovakians overwhelmed his position and ultimately destroyed his tank for good measure. Since then, he managed to make it to Khesed Island along with the bulk of the Emmerian ground forces and was assigned to Warlock Battalion as a tank commander. Due to a staffing oversight on Emmerian command’s part, his tank crew consisted of three equally-ranked sergeants (himself, Sgt. Donnie Torch, and Sgt. Hobsbawm). McKnight was chosen as the commander of the group by an informal poll among three. McKnight and his team are notable for their borderline insane courage, often charging out ahead of the rest of Warlock in a blaze of bravado and glory. McKnight is something of a blip character in Ace Combat 6. His POV segments are sporadic and terse usually, but they do contain a somewhat self-contained narrative that does indeed land with a decent payoff by the end of the game. McKnight’s narrative is something of a riff on Kelly’s Heroes, a 1970 World War II comedy film starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, and Donald Sutherland as a US Army tank group who hatch a plan to steal $16 million worth of gold bars from a bank vault 30 miles behind the Nazi front lines. In McKnight’s case, the bank his team is plotting to rob is in Gracemeria. McKnight and Torch form kind of a “those two guys” duo across the game, having minor radio cameos here and there in missions, while Hobsbawm remains silent and ostensibly doesn’t appear beyond the cutscene that introduces him.  DJ ZED Real Name: Zed Waters Callsign(s): DJ Zed Age: Mid 30’s Sex: Male Nationality: Emmeria Signature Plane: Cargo van Voice Actor: Joe Thomas A former top 40’s rock DJ turned unexpected war correspondent and propagandist for the Emmerian mainland resistance. During the invasion of Gracemeria by the Estovakians at the end of the summer in 2015, Zed Waters was working as the headline DJ for EBC Radio One out of the company’s broadcast headquarters in Novusmeria. When the invasion began, Waters broke into regular programming to cover the events as they unfolded over the course of the afternoon. When the Emmerian capital fell to the Estovakian forces, the Generals quickly clamped down on all Emmerian broadcast media, including radio. Waters and his crew were evicted from their studio by Estovakian troops and a government-approved propaganda broadcaster was installed in his place by Supreme Commander Dvornik. Out of a job and a likely target for being “disappeared” by the Estovakian authorities thanks to his status as a media personality (however D-List he might be), Waters and his station crew fled Gracemeria, slipping out of the city before the Estovakian Army completed its lockdown of the capital, and followed the retreating Emmerian forces west towards the coast. Using their technical know-how, Waters and his team have been conducting broadcast signal interference and hijacking attacks against the Estovakian-controlled airwaves to broadcast pirate war correspondence, anti-Estovakian propaganda and news updates, and to help maintain the lines of communication between the disparate Emmerian troop positions still holed up on mainland Anea. Their pirate station, dubbed “Emmeria Independence Radio” by Waters and his crew, has proven a persistent non-military thorn in the Estovakians’ side, as their location has been very hard to pin down thanks to their mobile broadcasting vehicle—a heavily modified EBCR1 cargo van once used for shallow on-location events at sports arenas or car dealerships, now re-Christened “The Freedom Fighter”. By late January of 2016, Waters had been broadcasting out of the coastal city of Ortara in preparation for the coming Emmerian landing operation and push to retake the mainland. He has vowed to follow the Emmerian forces eastward across Anea as they press back towards Gracemeria to keep the public informed of their progress. Emmerian military command neither condones nor endorses Waters’ actions… but they’re not entirely opposed to them either. DJ Zed is an interesting figure in Ace Combat 6 in that his backstory and implied narrative running concurrent with the game’s narrative is waaaayyy more interesting and exciting than literally anything the game itself choses to focus on in its storyline segments, and we get to see literally none of it. It also helps that Zed is one of the more charismatic characters in the game in his brief interruptions over the radio and a much-needed source of occasional comic relief. Much like McKnight, we actually encountered him earlier in the game too; he can be heard over the radio that’s playing when Melissa says goodbye to Matilda for the last time before the attack on Gracemeria, and he has a couple of interstitial lines over the radio during Invasion of Gracemeria itself partway through the mission. DJ Zed will be a semi-permanent fixture of Fires of Liberation’s in-mission storyline, usually popping up at the start of each mission to dunk on the Stovies with a radio update. Since he doesn’t appear in-game, the above picture is of Robert Darden aka “The Radioman” the real antagonist of Spec Ops: The Line, played by Jake (son of Gary) Busey. Much like Waters, Darden also finds himself a commentator on and then later a participant in the conflict that erupted around him, and both men find themselves unexpectedly as the voice of a powerful propaganda outlet that helps shape the fortunes of a lot of military men and women. But while Darden used his propaganda powers ultimately for evil in Spec-Ops, Waters uses his toward a greater good here in Ace Combat 6.   MARIGOLD Royal Emmerian Navy, South Sea Command, 2nd Fleet Leader: Kenneth Jones Squadron Composition: Kirov-class battlecruiser and support fleet The HMES Marigold is the flagship of the Emmerian Navy’s 2nd Fleet, and the pride of the nation’s sea forces. Based out of the Emmerian port city of San Loma, the Marigold and her fleet were caught off guard by the sudden Estovakian blitz and lost many ships before finally escaping out into open waters. As the Emmerian chain of command collapsed during the westward retreat, the 2nd Fleet found itself isolated in the Fuscum Sea as the Estovakian Navy rolled in to secure the southern coast of Emmeria and cut off the sea lanes to Kheshed and Yuktobania. With the 1st Fleet utterly wiped out in Gracemeria Bay by the P-1112 Aigaion’s Nimbus burst missile strikes, the Marigold and her ships were virtually the last remaining sea forces the Republic had left to field. Luckily, her captain, Kenneth Jones, was a seasoned naval officer and commander and he and the Marigold’s crew had seen many oversees peace-keeping sorties and joint assignments with the FCU Navy, and the Osean Maritime Defense Force and having worked closely with the likes of Admiral Nicholas Andersen. As the Emmerian Army and Air Force detachments worked to drive the Estovakians off of Khesed, Jones and Marigold smashed the Estovakian naval blockade of the island, utilizing hit-and-fade and diversionary tactics. While the Marigold kept the Estovakians’ combat ships occupied, the 2nd Fleet’s transport craft were able to ferry additional troops, supplies, and weaponry to Khesed to aid the likes of Warlock and Quox Battalions. Now that the counterattack operations have begun, the Marigold’s principle role will be to keep the sea lanes between Khesed, the Nordennavic archipelago, and the Union of Yuktobanian Republics open and clear of Estovakian activity, as well as provide sea-based support for landing operations and coastal missions such as the planned retaking of San Loma, and eventually Gracemeria. Much like Snake Pit, the Marigold is one giant ESM factory, so it’s usually in your best interest to get her operations done as quickly as you can for the ESM bonus while in her immediate area. Unlike Snake Pit, she won’t exactly follow you around the map because she is a sea-based ship and can only go where the water is, but by parking usually in the middle of a bay or near the coast, the Marigold can aide you a bit in taking down air targets that you can lure over her fleet. The 2nd Fleet will also provide long range fire support against ground targets if called upon via the Allied Support mechanic, and even aid in the occasional air attack with SAM strikes from her AEGIS ships. Now, as a matter of minor trivia, there’s a small discontinuity between the game’s script and the Assault Record entry for the Marigold. The Assault Record refers to her captain as Kenneth Jones, while in-game he identifies himself as Captain Ford. So it’s ultimately open to interpretation which one you chose to call “canon,” though Acepedia counts the written Assault Record as superseding the spoken dialog, so that works for me too.  YELLOW JACKET Royal Emmerian Navy, South Sea Command, 3rd Fleet, 1st Helicopter Unit Leader: Richard Lee Squadron Composition: UH-9 An Emmerian naval helicopter unit based off an aircraft carrier attached to the 3rd Fleet and commanded by Richard Lee, a recent immigrant from Usea. In the opening days of the war, Yellow Jacket Flight was deployed extensively as an SAR unit, deploying behind enemy lines and rescuing downed Emmerian pilots and soldiers pinned down by the Estovakians and ferrying them safety either to the Marigold and support fleets or to Kheshed Island to regroup with the main Emmerian force. As the winter snows thawed and the northern seas warmed, the Emmerian military shifted from defense to offense and commenced their primary ground invasion of Anea, landing troops on the southwest cost of the continent. Yellow Jacket was repurposed from a search and rescue flight to an airborne landing and gunship flight. Their first major offensive assignment was to recapture Ortara Air Force Base from the Estovakians after Quox Battalion and Garuda Team secured an air corridor from the coast to the air field for them. Going forward, Yellow Jacket’s primary role in combat will be the advance deployment of troops behind the Estovakian front lines to capture key facilities such as air bases or supply depots ahead of the advancing Emmerian ground forces.   ORTARA Situated at the southern end of the Jamel Desert, the port city of Ortara is one of the westernmost towns on mainland Anea and a major resource hub connecting the Republic of Emmeria with the Union of Yuktobanian Republics and Sotoa to the south. Its location on the southern tip of Anea near the warm water shield of the Fuscum Sea makes Ortara one of the warmest locations on the northern continent on average, to the point of fostering desert conditions for miles out from the coast. The Kijera oil fields, just off of Rargom beach, are a major supplier of both crude oil and petroleum products to the Emmerian heartland, and to Yuktobania across the Fuscum Sea as well. Emmeria has become the UYR’s chief international oil supplier in recent years, as Yuktobania’s petrol economy has yet to fully recover after its oil fields in the Jilachi Desert were destroyed by the Osean Federation. Not notable as a tourist destination or an industrial city, the other hot commodity in Ortara besides oil is military force. EFB Ortara was the home to many Emmerian troops and pilots prior to the evacuation to Khesed such as the crew of the AWACS Snake Pit. With Ortara and its oil fields back under Emmerian control, the Emmerian military now has a vital foothold on Anea and a new wealth of resources badly needed to fuel the liberation of the nation from Estovakian occupation. Ignore the rhyme there.  ORYOL The Named Ace of this mission, Oryol, takes his name from the Slavic word for “eagle”, Орёл, also more commonly spelled as Orel.  Aircraft featured in Mission 5: Huh, it’s been a while since we’ve had one of these, hasn’t it?  AC-130 Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Role: Gunship Manufactured: 1966-Present Status: In Service Primary Operators: United States Quick Facts:
