I played the poo poo out of this game. Aside from the side story stuff I have a few other issues with it mechanically but we aren't there yet.

Oh dear.

Are planes we don't have yet spoilers? I want to talk about planes, is this the place to talk about planes?

Your best bet for the air-to-air heavy missions of the game is the Nighthawk, just because it's the only one of the three with an air-to-air SP weapon, the QAAM.

Wait what. The attacker that's never ever been used in any air to air role gets the only air to air weapon?

Tornado is best because of swing-wings.

Old planes are cool.

As I recall ESM support is plus one level per ESM support unit, so you were getting Level 2 ESM when getting to the center of the first circle because the other units circle was overlapping.

You know, it would be cool if AC7 plops down both old and non-mainline fighters. Like Sea Vixen. Very cool and unusually-looking carrier-based plane.

Give me all the planes.

LASMs are super good and have a surprisingly large area of effect. They will wreck targets like the armored trains.

These A10s apparently left their cannons back home: .

Im not seeing where these gunpods are supposed to be. Unless you're mistaking the landing gear nacelles for gunpods. Very little of the GAU-8 is actually exposed on the A-10.



It would also be very silly for Project Aces to make a custom A-10 model just for this one cutscene.

This stupid little thing is adorable and I want to take it angel dancing on the head of a pin. What does it do? What is it for? I don't care, I just want to load it down with missiles and fly it like a murderous go-kart into a line of enemy aces.

That's a coal powered airplane.

Sing not the Angels,
Call not the Angels' name.

Still not as amusing as HAWX with the armed SR-71 (not the A-12, which I'm surprised has never shown up in Ace Combat).

At least one of the ace combats featured an SR-71 alike.

The catalyst is the surplus JP-8 they have now that Aigaion is dead and the walls are to hold all of it in until they toss a match.
