Modded characters i hope to see:

• Upvotes

I hope to see mods that add Han Solo and Biddy Blas as members of the squadron. You finally beat the mission and Han says something smug and Biddy just shouts Scrip Doon

Anyone you would like to see?

Any chance this gets a buff? Spoiler

In campaign mode the X-40 feels underwhelming, especially compared to the series’ other end-game planes. The high resource cost yields little return which is disappointing. Since I’m not familiar with earlier AC titles at launch wondering if Bandai Namco has any prior precedent for buffing/balancing super planes or their weapons.

(PC) Can't take of in Mission 12

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

Quick question, does anybody succeeds in taking off at the start of mission 12, after rearming? It's like my wheels are glued to the runway, absolutely no way to accelerate. I tried reinstalling it, nothing works.

On a side note, my 'thrust bar" on the left side of the hud cannot reach the max, it's stuck at 3/4 even with my entire weight on the controller trigger. It's like some part of the game's thrust is unavailable to me.

Any fix?

I only wish they had more than 30 missions. I mean those are fun and the story plus the cinematics are even better.

Id pay full freight for a new campaign or two.

Multiplayer really falls apart fast.

1 Upvotes

When you have every Russian plane turning on a dime, literally pulling 900G turns at mach 90, the game turns into a joke really fast for multiplayer.

I understand need every jet to be able to become just as good as any other jet through leveling up, but seriously.. The amount of nonsense going on completely eliminates any skill or knowledge from the game. Jets spinning on a dime, shooting 90 degrees to you and their missile turns 90 degrees to hit you becomes really old, really fast.

It's just whoever has better stats wins, or whoever is flying Russian jets...

And don't get me started on the Russian bias.. since they seem to get the best loadout choices, and superior versions of them.. Most European/American planes get UGB, while the Russians get the UGBL for example. Or just a strong mix of air/land options for a single jet, while other nations have to pick and choose which they want to really excel at in that particular match.

The last 5 Warfare matches were me trying to use legit dogfight tactics, but it didn't matter.. Missiles defying physics turning nearly 90 degrees instantly, with enemy jets defying all kinds of reality and realism to pull 900G turns at mach F you.

Again, I get this isn't a simulation and I don't want it to be, but BALANCE is the key word here that this game completely lacks... It's just whoever has their stats set to to auto win, or abusing the most broken plane with the highest turn radius. That's it.. No amount of thinking, strategy, or tactics will beat them.. GG.

It sucks because if they had taken ANY amount of time to balance the jets out more, this would of been an incredibly fun online game... Example.. The MIg 31B Foxhound.. Known for its incredibly high speeds, and acceleration, but not so much turn ability.. Max that out, while keeping the jet within that parameters and you'd of had a fun strategy for that jet, as a hit n run, and out running missiles if you're far enough away and after burning it, but vulnerable in turns, etc.

Instead you have it turning on a dime acting like a SU 35 being piloted by an AI that doesn't care about G forces...

flatlining all planes to behave exactly the same (with only minor differences once upgraded) is a huge shame, especially because of how badly unbalanced it becomes, it ends up whatever plane has better turn radius auto wins the fight, or has the highest speed to get to the ground targets first and decimate them before the others an get there.. Nothing else matters.

Ironically the A-10 seems to be the only plane that actually gets stuck in its realistic parameters... being the slowest, and most useless plane in the game... Too slow to get to targets fast enough, not enough turn radius (even though it should) to protect itself from fighters... Go above 400mph and suddenly you turn and yaw like a freight train.... Just.. why?!

Ace Combat 0?

2 Upvotes

I preordered AC8 to get AC0. But I never received a code. I preordered it through Gamefly because they have a $10 coupon with it. I contacted them and they replied saying there is no preorder bonus. There’s no code in the case either. So how do I get AC0?

Proposed changes to replay

3 Upvotes

I'd like to propose some changes be made to the replay mode.

  1. Add a scrub bar. This will let you scrub through to the moments that you actually want to view. Seems like a no brainier when it comes to a replay mode. You're letting me play back the mission, but I can't control what part I want to view?
  2. Add the ability to rewind. You already have a button to slow down to 0.5x speed. Why not go further backwards? Seems dumb.
  3. Add the ability to disable the automatic camera switching. Sometimes I want to capture a screenshot at a specific angle, and will have to view the replay multiple times, fast forward to the moment I want to get and try and get the right angle to pop up by spamming the change angle button. This is quite frustrating.
  4. Give us free camera. This will enable us to capture photos at angles not typically included in the replay.

I mostly use replay to capture thumbnails for my YT videos, but these severely inhibit my abilities to get good shots.

AC8 GMV (has end game cutscenes so watch only if you’ve beaten the game)

2 Upvotes

Ended up creating a GMV from screen recordings of AC8 gameplay and cutscenes, song chosen is different but somehow it works well imo. Only watch if you’ve finished the game though, has end game cutscenes.


r/AceCombat8 • • 9d ago

These cutscenes are painful.

Why are they so long? Why are there three in a row? What happened to radio discipline?

Can't Takeoff

Hello all, I am unable to takeoff on Mission 12 on Fort Grays Island. I have seen someone else have the issue as well. Mine goes deeper, as I can't move even at max throttle. I have tried different aircraft, unplugged my controller and tried using my keyboard and even validating the files in Steam, I am SUPER pissed. Any and all help would be great!

Carrier-Only Missions List

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Planning on doing my elite playthrough with a different craft each mission, and I want to also use "story-mode" craft for each mission. Does anyone have a list of the carrier-only missions so I can check if that is possible?

I know that excluding the Intruder you use in mission 14 and the 2 experiemental carrier planes I don't plan to usethere are 10 Carrier-compatible craft so if there are more than 10 "carrier-only" missions I won't apply that rule.

Ace Combat 8, Escadrille 75

75e escadrille d'Erusea :

La 75e escadrille d'Erusea "Uniforce" fut créée aux premiers jours de la Lighthouse War pour soutenir l'effort de guerre du Royaume Éruséen.

Afin de gonfler les rangs, l'escadrille recruta des pilotes novices comme des as, qu'ils soient pilotes d'essai ou de simples pilotes de voltige civils.

L'escadrille combattit sur de nombreux fronts et participa notamment à la défense de Farbanti contre Osea. Lorsque le gouvernement royal d'Erusea s'effondra, l'escadrille engagea le conflit contre les Éruséens Radicaux qui souhaitaient prolonger la guerre. Ils joignirent leurs forces avec le LRSSG et les escadrons de Shilage pour abattre l'Arsenal Bird et mettre fin au conflit.

Suite à la guerre, la 75e escadrille fit sécession avec Érusea. Elle devient un groupe d'action indépendant chargé de défendre les nations autonomes, dont celle de l'Ascenseur Spatial.
