Crow hasn't posted since April 1st and I haven't seen hide nor hair of him on any program since about that time either.

I'm a little worried, honestly.

His April Fools joke must have gone really badly.

Particularly relevant is that until Crow finished the last thread for Zero (with associated LPs of ace mode and 3) I think only Tyrantsabre had ever finished an Ace Combat LP. That was 6. And there have been plenty of abandoned attempts at 4, 5 and Zero.

So now, after seeing off three runs of two games in one thread, and moving on to AC2, Crow gets smote by serious illness. I'm not saying the two are connected, but I will say that if Crow ends up posting the LP for AC5 from a library because his hometown was destroyed by giant spiders, I won't be particularly surprised.

poo poo, now that you mention it, I think I joked about Crow tempting fate by LPing an Ace Combat game. Maybe I'm to blame?

This reminds me, I need to get off my rear end and get to work on the LP of X-Wing Alliance that I've been meaning to do forever. That game, incidentally, has a crossover mission with Shadows of the Empire in which you fly a Y-Wing and disable the Suprosa so Dash Rendar can board it

I couldn't replay AC6 for a while because of that line. I beat it twice before that so I heard it a lot.

Honestly I beat that game so many times that the very concepts of dancing and angels harden my heart.

Same. I don't even know why I did half that poo poo like the multiple runs of the entire campaign in a single plane, etc etc, but there you go.

e: air to air missions in a Tornado with guns only was a real pain in the rear end, that I remember

At least I know I'm not the only one with enough time on my hands to do a guns only Tornado run :hfive:

I can safely say at minimum I have watched the intro cutscene to mission 1 with every single plane and probably every plane's alt color schemes at this point, yeah. I played a lot of AC6.

I think the only achievements I don't have are competitive MP because ugh, the less said there the better

I will say, AC6 had neither the strongest story, nor the largest library of aircraft, but it's got some drat good replay value. The missions are fun and chaotic and you have options about what you're going to accomplish.

The Kfir was also used by the Marine Corps and Navy between 1985 and 1989 for dissimilar air combat training, dubbed the F-21A Kfir. They were chosen because, especially with modifications the Marine Corps made to their thirteen borrowed craft, it shared very similar flight characteristics to the MiG-23, which was at the time being introduced in large numbers and was seen to be more capable than earlier Soviet craft.
The F-21 is still operated in an aggressor role, as a matter of fact. Just by a civilian contractor, not the Navy themselves.

Saw this in the OSHA thread in GBS the other day when they were discussing the Thunderbirds F-16 that went down over Colorado last week:

What is this quadcopter video you're talking about in the video?

edit: btw, the Rafale M is definitely carrier-capable. Compared to the landward B and C versions, it has a beefier landing gear, a proper arresting hook, and an internal boarding ladder.

It's part of Slowbeef and TieTuesday's retsupraes of these insane patent proposal animations by a Russian(?) patent troll company called Dahir Insaat. If you ever once thought "what would be an unnecessarily complex, expensive, and probably illegal solution to a problem that doesn't actually exist," then Dahir Insaat is the answer to your mentally ill prayers!
