I'm free! Also yeah, I'm probably gonna just post the mission 2 update with a video only tomorrow night because I haven't had time to record any commentary beyond that one with mateo360, and because I'm going away on another last-minute business trip on Saturday, so I'll be indisposed for most of the weekend.

paragon1 posted:The best part about the Ace Combat 6 thread is that the title crow should pick is immensely obvious. At this point I have resigned myself to it. And while "SHUT UP MARCUS!" worked back in the planning stage of things way back in October 2015, seeing the thread culture develop around the LPs I've basically settled on Dunce with the Angels - Let's Play Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for AC6's thread title. That said, there is not a force in heaven or earth that can sway me away from "South America vs. the F-22" for Ace Combat X's thread title... Unless Trump starts bombing Ecuador or something...

Open War Mission 2: Operation Gyre – September 27th, 2010 Overview: An unidentified spy ship has been detected off the coast of Sand Island. It appears to be launching UAV spy drones on vectors leading towards Sand Island and the Osean mainland. Wardog Squadron is dispatched to verify the situation, and if need be shoot down the drones before they can penetrate Osean airspace.  Guest Commentator: I am joined for this video by the fantastic mateo360. Mateo has done a series of really great LPs including Star Trek: Bridge Commander (sometimes jokingly called the defacto 5th game in the X-Wing Tetralogy), Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force with berryjon (winner of the "IP most ill-suited to base a first person shooter off of" Award in perpetuity until the Heat Death of the Universe – I actually liked Elite Force II better, but don't tell anyone), ReBoot, and many others. He was also running a co-op LP of Castle Crashers along with dscruffy1, Miz Kriss, and shibbotech, though it was recently eaten by the Archive Lock.    OPEN WAR For a mission that literally sees the start of the titular war of The Unsung War, there's really not much to say about it on its head that doesn't spoil what actually happens in the video. The in-universe boilerplate is this: On September 27th, 2010, the Union of Yuktobanian Republics formally declared war on its former international ally the Osean Federation, beginning what would later be called the "Circum-Pacific War". After a period of rapidly rising tensions and apparently instability in Yuktobania, the UYR parliament voted unanimously to formally abrogate the Osea-Yuktobania Peace Treaty of 1996 and declare open, unprovoked war on the Osean Federation. No official reason for the declaration has been given, though Yuktobanian state media has cited "unchecked Osean aggression" as a possible reason. The Osean government vehemently denies these allegations. Yuktobanian state media also claims that Prime Minister Nikanor was present for and voted in favour of the war declaration, though no footage of the vote or his signing of the resolution has been released to the public thus far. In response, both the Osean House of Representatives and Senate voted unanimously to declare war on the Union of Yuktobanian Republics, with President Harling calling on all branches of the Osean military to defend the Federation from any land, sea, or air strikes by the Yuktobanian military and repel any invasion attempts on cities and territories along the west coast. The Assembly of Nations has called for harsh sanctions against Yuktobania to be enacted, and for the UYR to be ejected from the G7 council. Both resolutions are expected to fail, as Yuktobania has permanent membership on and veto power over the AN Security Council. As of this moment, the Yuktobanian Navy and Air Force appear poised to strike the city of St. Hewlett and its naval port, home of the Osean Maritime Defense Force's 3rd Fleet, and its flagship, the famous O.F.S. Kestrel.  GYRE Broadly, a gyre is any swirling vortex of air or water. In oceanography, the term gyre refers to the massive swirling currents that churn in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans that circulate the waters between the continental shores. For example, debris swept out to sea by the massive 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami was carried from the shores of Japan to the coasts of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California by the North Pacific ocean gyre over the course of roughly three months.  LEITMOTIF Something I didn't get the chance to mention in the video, so I'll say it here, is that if you listen to the background track of this mission, "Wardog," you can very pointedly hear the main theme of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies creep into the melody in certain places. There's two songs on the base game soundtrack that do this, this and the one coming up in two missions' time, "First Flight". It's not often that the various Ace Combat games reference one anothers' soundtracks, so this makes a nice little musical passing of the torch from 04 to 5 in a way that's not readily noticeable unless you know what you're looking for.

I've always thought that 5 had the best early game of any of the big three. Sure, you get your pair of quick, easy tutorial missions, but then they remove a character who looks like he might be a big deal at first glance and go completely apeshit with the next few missions. It's great.

"Amidst the eternal waves of time From a ripple of change shall the storm rise Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath" It is hella dark though for some reason. Is it like that in the game itself or is it just the capture?

I think a majority of the TVs I've seen it on it tends to be on the darker side, and when I streamed it it was even darker. Might just be the way capture cards interact with the game.

The loading screens/menus are really dark, and I'm not honestly doing anyone any favors by doing direct capture from a PS2, but that's the sad reality of things since my LP PS3 died. I'm experimenting with certain things to see if I can get a better picture quality though, because I remember Zero looking a hell of a lot better than 5 is turning out, so I think I might have to adjust a few things in Premiere. At least 6, X, and 7 are going to be done on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS4, so I once we clear 5 we'll have actual good footage quality again, I promise.

Narrow Margin Mission 3: Emergency Sortie – September 27th, 2010 Overview: Wardog Squadron is rerouted to the naval port at St. Hewlett on an emergency sortie to provide top cover for the Osean Maritime Defense Force’s 3rd Fleet and its flagship the O.F.S. Kestrel as it evacuates the harbor. The Yuktobanian Air Force and Navy have launched a coordinated surprise attack on Port St. Hewlett to sink the OMDF fleet at anchor as their official first strike in the Circum-Pacific War. With Capt. Bartlett’s status after bailout still indeterminate, Nagase is promoted to acting captain and given command of Wardog Squadron for the remaining duration of the mission.  Guest Commentator: I am joined today for this mission by CirclMastr. After I ruined an episode of his Covert Action LP, he has come to this LP to return the favor. In addition to Covert Action, he has also done LPs of Alpha Protocol, Contradiction, Just Cause 2, Kengo: Master of Bushido (with Danaru), and Superhot (also with Danaru), among others. He is currently conduction a group LP of the Jackbox Party Pack 2 after a successful run at the first one. In addition to being the brother of Detroit: Become Human actor Valorie Curry, he's also famous for his 500-hour long quest to get Cloud and Barret to level 99 in Mako Reactor No. 1, aka the very first playable area of Final Fantasy VII, just to prove it was possible.   SWORDSMAN Real Name: Marcus Snow Callsign(s): Swordsman, The Wandering Pilot Age: 34 Sex: Male Nationality: Osea Signature Plane: F-14A Tomcat Voice Actor: Beau Billingslea An OMDF naval air captain and the flight lead of the ONADF’s V-206 strike fighter squadron. Stern and responsible, Marcus Snow is a model of naval professionalism and one of the keenest flight commanders in the Osean Navy. Based off the carrier Kestrel, Snow is the Commander Air Group (CAG) for the Kestrel’s entire fighter wing. Snow commands the respect and loyalty of the pilots under his command, a loyalty he repays fiercely. Much like Nagase and Davenport, Snow also possesses a strong moral compass and a firm belief in right and wrong. As I mentioned in the Ace Combat Zero LP, the Belkan ace squadron Schnee is a reference to Marcus Snow, both in their name and their choice of plane. Both Snow and Schnee team fly F-14s, and the word Schnee is German for Snow. Marcus Snow also shares a voice actor with Zero’s Anthony Palmer. Beau Billingslea voices both Snow and Palmer, an though Palmer appears first in-universe, he is actually Billingslea’s second outing in an Ace Combat game. Snow is also, as a matter of trivia, one of only six black characters in the Ace Combat franchise, the others being Electrosphere’s Keith Bryan, Zero’s Anthony Palmer, Assault Horizon Legacy’s Edgar Grint, Yellow 4 in Shattered Skies, and Assault Horizon’s Doug Robinson. Additionally, Snow, thanks to a translation error, is one of the highest ranking characters in the franchise as a naval air force captain (the equivalent rank to a regular air force colonel). In the Japanese version, Snow is a naval lieutenant (the equivalent of an air force captain, on par with Jack Bartlett).  ANDERSEN Real Name: Nicholas A. Andersen Callsign(s): Captain Andersen, Kestrel Actual Age: 61 Sex: Male Nationality: Osea Signature Plane: None Voice Actor: Simon Prescott The commanding officer of the aircraft carrier O.F.S. Kestrel and the in-field commander of the Osean Maritime Defense Force’s 3rd Naval Fleet. A life-long veteran of the Osean naval forces. Nicholas A. Andersen joined the OMDF naval academy right out of high school. Having grown up during the height of the Cold War, he has spent the majority of his life preparing for the day, God forbid, that Osea and Yuktobania went to war. He never possibly imagined he would actually see it unfurl after 15 years of peace no less. As the captain of the O.F.S. Kestrel, Andersen is effectively the highest ranking non-flag officer in the Osean Maritime Defense Force just in terms of men and material under his direct command.  ST. HEWLETT Situated on the shores of the Ceres Ocean, St. Hewlett is an industrial city on the Osean west coast, and home to one of the largest naval and civilian shipping ports in Northern Osea. St. Hewlett is also home of the Port St. Hewlett Naval Base, the home port of the Osean Maritime Defense Force’s 3rd Fleet under the command of Captain Nicholas A. Andersen of the O.F.S. Kestrel. The port at St. Hewlett services most of western Osea as a major shipping and transport hub and was, until the outbreak of the Circum-Pacific War, the primary shipping gateway between Osea and Yuktobania. The Yuktobanian bombing of St. Hewlett as their opening salvo in the war was seen as as much of a symbolic blow as it was a strategic one.  O.F.S. KESTREL The flagship of the Osean Maritime Defense Force’s 3rd Fleet and, functionally, the flagship of the OMDF’s entire Pacific armada. The aircraft carrier recently celebrated its 15th birthday and the 15th anniversary of its maiden voyage during Operation Costner, an Osean-led counter strike operation during the Allied Forces’ push to retake Sapish and Ustian territory in the early days of the war. With the signing of the Treaty of Lumen, the Kestrel’s role in the Belkan War came to a close and she made her long trip from Oured Bay to her new home in St. Hewlett to take her place at the head of the 3rd Fleet. Sometime after she arrived at St. Hewlett, her provisional captain, Commander Weeker, turned over command of the ship to her new captain, Nicholas A. Andersen. Andersen has been at the conn of the Kestrel ever since. In the 15 years since the end of the Belkan War, the Kestrel has seen action around the Pacific and Ceres oceans as part of a global peace keeping force and joint training operations with the Yuktobanian Navy. She recently returned to St. Hewlett after a brief deployment to the Fuscum Sea. The Kestrel recently conducted joint operations with the Emmerian flagship, the battlecruiser H.M.E.S. Marigold, in response to intelligence that the Estovakian Civil War may about to boil over into armed conflict again. In addition to her support fleet and logistical craft, the Kestrel is joined in the 3rd Fleet by her younger sister ships, the carriers O.F.S. Buzzard and O.F.S. Vulture.  EMERGENCY SORTIE(S) This mission unveils something that, so far, has only appeared in Ace Combat 5: the in-mission briefing. Yes, as part of 5’s effort to have more cohesion between story and gameplay, there are an unsmall number of missions in the game that don’t have traditional briefings. Instead, Intel will contact you directly in the cockpit and give you an ad hoc in-field briefing using the mini map. Sometimes you won’t even get a briefing and will just get thrown into missions blind have to rely on your AWACS to get you through it with real-time info. This also means that with these new emergency or serialized missions, there will be certain stretches where you never get to visit a proper hangar and make adjustments to your flight loadout. It’s not a big deal right off the bat because we still don’t even have access to the hangar period yet, but in the coming missions plane choice is key, because there will be several chains of missions that happen one after the other and your time in the hangar will be surprisingly truncated over the game. Of course, this is only if you’re playing through the campaign mode normally. If you come back and play any of these missions in Free Mission mode once you’ve beaten the game, you can take any plane you have access to into the mission.  WINGMAN COMMANDS Now that we have functionally assumed command of Wardog Squadron as of this mission, the Wingman Commands menu is now at our disposal. You may remember a more refined version of this little menu appearing in Ace Combat Zero. Wingman Commands are mapped the to the D-pad, which each of the four buttons activating a certain command mode which affects the behavior of your AI squadron members. The Wingman Commands allows you to direct your squadron members to do certain things in combat and shift between different AI behavior stances. Your three primary settings are CVR (Cover), ATK (Attack) and DSP (Disperse), with a fourth one SPW (Special Weapons) being a toggle instead of a mode change. Cover tells your wingmates to stick close to your tail and cover you. They will focus on defending you from any immediate threats that might be gunning for you specifically, with a lesser focus on peeling off and engaging targets of opportunity in their immediate area when possible. Attack tells your wingmates to go on the offensive, but still stick close to you in case you need to order them to form up quickly for one reason or another. Disperse tells your wingmates to basically fly as they see fit. It cancels all range and behavior restrictions, allowing them to roam wherever they feel like it on the map and attack any target they wish. This is good for those Ace Combat 04-style shooting gallery missions or missions with objectives spread out across vast distances of the map. Special Weapons authorizes your wingmates to use their special weaponry in combat.  JACK BARTLETT, MIA And thus, Ace Combat 5 earns that “Mentor Occupational Health Hazard” bullet on its TV Tropes page. Despite the quick scrambling of an SAR flight and having the precise coordinates of his ditch location, Sand Island Search and Rescue was unable to locate and recover Captain Jack Bartlett. His parachute and ejector seat were found floating near the last known location of the Yuktobanian spy ship, but no other trace of Bartlett was found by the SAR team. It is possible that he was recovered by the ocean by the Yuktobanians and taken as a prisoner of war, however Osean Military Intelligence believes this to be highly unlikely, ruling Bartlett and his copilot likely drowned before the rescue team reached them. Captain Bartlett is currently listed as “missing, presumed deceased” by the OADF. No further search efforts are planned at this time.  ZIPANG The Named Ace of this mission, Zipang, is named after the naval manga Zipang by Kaiji Kawaguchi, about the crew of the fictional JDS Mirai (DDH-182) serving in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). The manga ran from 2000 to 2009 and sees the Mirai and her crew mysteriously transported back in time to World War II (the irony being "mirai" is Japanese for "future" and the ship winds up in the past). With its advanced weaponry and technology, and the crew's foreknowledge of events yet to happen (like the sinking of the Yamato and the Battle of Midway), the ship could rewrite the course of history for Japan and the world, but the crew resolves try and return to the present leaving the past unaltered. However, when they save the life of a stranded Japanese sailor, they end up accidentally altering history more than they could have possibly imagined.  Aircraft featured in Mission 3  Nimrod R1 Manufacturer: Hawker Siddeley Role: Maritime patrol / anti-submarine aircraft Manufactured: 1967-???? Status: Retired Primary Operators: United Kingdom Quick Facts:
 In addition to Named Aces, Ace Combat 5 also features another by-now mainstay of the series: quasi-achievement/trophy Medals! We've seen Medals appear in Ace Combats Zero, 2, and Assault Horizon Legacy, but 5 is where they're introduced, at least in the form they'd take for the rest of the series. We earn our first Medal of the game simply for clearing this mission successfully. Others will be more difficult to procure from here out, and will require a high level of skill and familiarity with the game to unlock.  Medal: Golden Anchor Awarded for: Protecting the Kestrel and her fleet in Narrow Margin. Description: This medal has been awarded for defending the Kestrel and its fleet. 
Notable for its vivid purple and pink cherry blossom pattern, Zipang is, without equal, one of the most popular and most recurring non-story Named Aces in the entire franchise. Zipang’s paint scheme appears as an unlockable plane colour in Ace Combat X, Joint Assault, Assault Horizon, and Infinity, and as paid DLC for Ace Combat 6. It’s also one of the few non-protagonist, non-rival planes released as a physical model through Hasegawa Hobby Kits. Zipang is notable among Named Aces for several peculiar behaviors. It tends to dive under the water at random intervals to evade missiles (because enemy planes can clip the water and survive in AC5), as well as deploy countermeasure flares to deflect player and wingman missiles. Named after the 2002-2009 historical naval drama manga by Kaiji Kawaguchi, Zipang is derived from "Cipangu", one of the foreign words for "Japan", which is transliterated into Japanese as ジパング (Jipangu), and the pattern on its airframe is derived from one of Japan’s major cultural symbols; the cherry blossom, or sakura.

nine-gear crow posted:Captain Andersen on the bridge of the Kestrel: Awwwwww yeah, says the picture. Naval Blockade is the first of AC5's track that really stood out to me. Without the music the mission isn't really all that tense or pressing the player for time but with the constantly rising pace (until it loops) of the soundtrack it really helps sell the escape and radio chatter. Plus not refilling the ammo of your plane between the two areas of the mission heightens the "scrambling" nature of a surprise attack like this.

One of my favourite, yet sickly horrifying, moments in Ace Combat 5 comes in this level. "Enemy anti-ship missiles launched, begin Phalanx Fire" -Beat with Brrrt in background- "No. STOP! You're firing on the dock!" But yeah, Mission 3 is where the game finally opens up. We are now into the game proper, the war has begun and now its time for events to kick off.

So I have a theory. Is it ok if I post it in spoiler tags? If so, here it is: Cipher and Phoenix are actually the same person, that person being a temporally displaced William Bishop from the USAF who decided to stay in Strangereal and have a family prior to the events of Zero and made friends with Larry "Solo Wing Pixy" Foulke right before Belka launched their war into Ustio. Zero happened, he goes back to his family, then he offers his services to the FCU in 2 to engage the Rebels, effectively becoming persona non grata among the conservative elements in Ustio's government. After retiring from mercenary work following the stunt he pulled at the end of 2/Assault Horizon Legacy where he had "accidentally misplaced" (read: stole) the XFA-27 Scarface plane from the FCU (and having a general falling out with the more hard-line Allied commanders), William makes a few contacts in the Osean CIA/DIA/NSA/FBI to emigrate his family to Osea in exchange for their studying of the aircraft. They say yes, so the Bishop family is transported to Oured where they remain peaceful, law-abiding citizens to this day... Until their eldest son ran away and joined ISAF prior to 04, learning the art of dog-fighting from Pixy (who felt like he owed a debt to Bishop) and became Mobius 1. We all know that story and how it played out; it was the previous thread for crying out loud! Who we're playing now is the second eldest son, TAC name Blaze/Wardog 1. He joined the air force against his father's wishes, unknowingly putting a humongous target on his back for certain players to take notice of... I hear flying runs in the Bishop family. Let's see if Blaze can keep that going, shall we?

Ah yes, this mission. The mission that almost instantly sold me on the game as I played it just because of the general mood it portrays and the background chatter. Perhaps not my favourite mission of the game but its close. Its counterpart in HAWX, Operation Typhoon, is on the other hand one of my favourite missions of that game. Which is perhaps not saying much. v  v
