Miscellaneous stuff: -Crow, didn't someone in an earlier thread say that the Marigold was an Iowa? -I believe this ace's paint is based on the TF-15A prototype; someone please correct me if I'm wrong. -Whoever said Shamrock's canon plane was an F-16, after seeing the box art, I now completely agree.

I consider this to be this games greatest crime- they set up an homage to Kelly's Heroes, and do nothing with it. McKnight has too many negative waves, anyway.

in my opinion the best way to do this game is to hammer out one operation like you did and then do the second one but spare the last 2 or so targets and then do the third one competely. kinda like that dead LP of silent storm sentinels where they pull a similar mission quota poo poo: do one mission, do another mission but fail at the very last part after looting everything and then continue with actual game play.

Not going to lie folks; I'm of the mind that the last 10 minutes of this video are probably the most fun I've had commenting on this LP. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed being a co-commentator, but the tail end of this video was just the best.

Don't forget about the oil storage tanks blown up by that Allied Support near the end of Operation C as well, that stuff must've burned up real good and put tons of crap into the air. Also, classic inadvertent Blue on Blue on Shamrock there going after that Nimrod. His angel must have not been dancing with him at that time. Made even better by the face plant into the desert because of wanting to set up the GBU kill cam on the last target. Man, that was some karma there. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I wanna say it came up in the 5 thread, though I don't remember if Crow was the one dropping the story there as well. Also if we're just spoiling poo poo about the Nosferatu now then you guys should have mentioned the Angelic Disco Ball that is it's 3rd special weapon. When you activate it, it makes every other plane drop what it's doing and engage in an aerobatic dance. Psycho Landlord fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Sep 2, 2017 |

It's not like Cipher was blowing up their own country, but drat if AC6 doesn't let Talisman do it. e: Not just nimbus cruises, now that I think about it. This was all over the Emmerian capital city, which was already undergoing a full scale invasion with armored vehicles, strategic bombers, and paratroopers and then they just raised the stakes with the missiles.

Like I said in the video, that's probably millions of *insert currency here* worth of damage between the destruction of the rigs and the gallons of lost oil, all during an operation to retake said oil field, and that's before you factor in environmental damage like other posters pointed out. What the gently caress, Talisman.

Maybe if these air forces didn't all make you pay for your own planes and pay based on targets destroyed this wouldn't happen. Emmeria is another victim of Area 88.

I don't know who actually designates things as targets - boring briefing guy maybe - but I feel confident we can blame Shamrock for it somehow.

The war DJ has a very important job in this game. You can't dance with anyone without any tunes, much less an angel. If you just had the phrase without the pirate radio station, ultimately you'd have nothing. Just nothing. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Two of my favorite first lines of briefings: "Then I'll give you the lowdown on our mission" "I'll be relaying orders to you from now on" (Not the first mission) E: Cythereal posted:I am reminded of Cooked Auto's HAWX LP where he dropped cluster bombs on the capitol building in Washington DC. One of my favorite memories from back in like 2014 (when, for some reason, there was still usually one or two co-op campaign sessions of HAWX being hosted on the 360 at any given time) is the time me and three randos did that mission and then in the post mission exposition part one of them said "Who wants to come with me and bomb the, the...you know...the military thing. The five thing." By accent and other vocal properties, he definitely appeared to be an adult American. NobleSixFour fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Sep 3, 2017 |
