The best CAS is whatever you put your war-winning super-pilot in. I adore that Ace Combat has just like, figured out that seems to happen in every peer war and has intel agencies that look for The Ace Combat Protagonist.

I like to imagine that eventually they'll also be trying to find out ways to prevent the other side of getting the Ace Combat Protagonist. "Sir, I found the perfect target to send our bombers to and end the war immediately!" "A secluded, yet still strategically important, airbase with an unproven, but plucky squadron? You fool, you're playing right into the enemy's hand!"

AC: Zero, but from the perspective of Pixy. poo poo, that's perfect. Start a few years before Zero, as Pixy's mentor, flying earlier Cold-War jets (maybe even a Mentor). Continue as Pixy in the Belkan War after his flight lead dies, but before he meets the Protagonist. Rehash a few Zero missions as a minion and then do some Spec Ops WWOB poo poo with super planes until you get shot down.

It’s still hilarious that in Desert Storm the F-111 killed more tanks than the A-10. (Are there any AC games that have the F-111)

It's in HAWX 1 from what I can remember, but I don't think I've seen it any AC game. At least not flyable.

According to a quick check on acepedia, neither the F-111 nor the EF-111 are in any AC games.

Someone did a thread on Wingman and I think Flight of the Old Dog and they're both absolutely insane AIRPOWER PATRIOTS but - let me preface this by saying my memory is not 100% reliable on this - but as I remember, one was written by a b-52 nav so you'd be amazed how a navigator on a plane can lay waste to all their foes - okay, power fantasy, but it's a souped up B-52. The other is a guy in one of the Thunderbirds F-16s with six gatling guns somehow crammed in the fuselage don't ask questions, powers up like Goku anytime he's staring at an American flag, also he's got psychic powers or something and eventually goes to space and fights aliens. so both are totally absurd nonsense but Wingman jettisons any hint of plausibility real early, Old Dog pretends to hold on to it longer Psion fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 26, 2021 |

No, properly assigning blame to Chopper is an important duty. Best to take the time to get it right.

Jesus red alert in PW conquest mode is stupid, at least for missions with priority targets. Basically all you can do is hit and run the entire group with the burst missiles and run away while popping flares. I enjoy conquest mode in theory but it really needs another pass.

I'm sorry for asking for help again for the very next mission but how the hell do I beat this motherfucker at the end of AC7 M10? It doesn't even move like a normal plane and seems to be able to shoot my missiles out of the air at will.

There are spots in that enemy's pattern where they are vulnerable to your shots so you could discern the pattern and time your shots or you can just brute force it by constantly raining missiles on it whenever it might connect. Best done by carrying an air-to-air SP weapon like QAAMs or HCAAs and space your shots out so you are always firing a single missile in an unending chain by staggering cooldowns/swapping types. or just use the gun like kiba suggests. Or if you have DLC planes, bring the Raven with UAVs and return the favor

There are points in its pattern when it flies head on at you (and I think one is almost immediately after the checkpoint). MiG-21 with gun pods will wreck it in a pass or two, but that might not be the most new player friendly tactic. If you have any planes with 6 or 8AAMs unlocked, those will let you fire all n at once. The dual rail guns on the CFA-44 are also a fun option if you have that DLC.
