I said it in the ace combat thread but I'll say it here, too: if anything I'm flattered I got to guest on the tiny little fraction of totally sane missions in this game. It ramps up and never looks back. Even for a moment. I love this game, even if it didn't land for me like 04 and Zero did. Before anyone asks, I love 5 too, but 4/zero were my go-tos for friggin ever. Pretty sure I have a broken case but a pristine disc for one of em, still. Also, the probe word should be Dog.  Edit: also I think 4/5/zero also landed pretty hard because I was like....13 at the time and. Oh Jesus christ I'm 33 now, I've been playing this franchise for 20 years. Gonna go for a walk...

Well, if you've got the time we've gone through just about the whole drat series at this point. As for the dude compiling all the cut content, he seems to have dropped off the grid and hasn't tweeted anything new since October 2021. Though from a datamining perspective, it seems like the game is ripe to bust wide open because a dude who fancies himself some kind of modding anarchist (and who's about as reviled in the AC7 modding community as Arthmoor is in Skyrim's) went and dumped unencrypted files from the whole game the other day--which is amazingly illegal, and good luck to him if Namco decides to sue him--and people are already ripping it apart and digging into poo poo like it's Thanksgiving Dinner at Cracker Barrel or something. Maybe something interesting will come of it, but we'll see. Professor Duck posted:

Two-pronged Strategy Mission 3: Operation Dual Wielder – May 30th, 2019 | NO COMM | BONUS Overview: The IUN-PKF initiates a two-pronged attacked against Erusean forces in preparation for the liberation of the Internation Space Elevator. While the OFS Kestrel II attacks the Erusean capital of Farbanti, the Fort Grays squadrons will secure air superiority over Chopinburg and then rendezvous the OFS Vulture currently en-route to the elevator. However, Erusea might have a surprise or two of their own waiting for them…  Guest Commentator: I am joined for this mission by the always off-topic Faerie Fortune. Fae has been with me for multiple Ace Combats now, and it has occurred to me that I never once showed her the glory of an Ace Combat super weapon. Well, that changes now for our final outing in the franchise together. You can catch Fae manning the co-pilot’s seat with past and future guest FPzero in his LP of Metroid Fusion for the Game Boy Advance.   SKELETON SQUADRON Osean Air Defense Force, 178th Tactical Fighter Squadron (IUN-PKF) Members:
Squadron Composition: F-16C Fighting Falcon (x4) A four-plane flight from an IUN-aligned air base in eastern Usea. Skeleton Squadron joined in Operation Dual Wielder under the command of Knocker and AWACS Sky Keeper in an attempt to secure an air route for IUN and Osean forces to reach the International Space Elevator in Gunther Bay, however the entire squadron was wiped out by the AAS-01 Liberty Arsenal Bird.  GARGOYLE SQUADRON Osean Air Defense Force, 616th Strike Fighter Squadron (IUN-PKF) Members:
Squadron Composition: F-14D Super Tomcat (x4) A four-plane flight from an IUN-aligned air base in eastern Usea. Gargoyle Squadron also joined in Operation Dual Wielder under the command of Knocker and AWACS Sky Keeper. Gargoyle’s flight lead was assigned to escort Golem 2 Brownie out of the combat zone, but was intercepted and shot down by Mister X en route out of the airspace. The surviving members of Gargoyle have been recalled by IUN HQ in preparation for an upcoming special operation at the ISEV.   SCHROEDER Real Name: Dr. [REDACTED] Schroeder Callsign(s): Age: Late 30s Sex: Male Nationality: [REDACTED] Signature Plane: Kawasaki C-1 Voice Actor: D.C. Douglas Our second narrator. Dr. Schroeder will provide the Erusean POV to contrast Avril’s Osean POV. Dr. [REDACTED] Schroeder is the chief researcher on a currently top-secret weapons development project being headed by the Erusean Air and Space Administration (EASA). Currently operating from a makeshift airfield in a dry lake bed in the Whiskey Corridor near the abandoned town of Anchorpoint, the doctor commands the full faith and resources of the EASA and his work has been deemed a project vital to Erusea’s future by the King himself. A stern and serious man, little phases him, not even the potentially world-changing ramifications of his work. For he is the man leading Erusea’s drone development program. The current scope of his work on the project is now leading the refinement phase of the drone algorithm development. With the MQ-99s and MQ-101 from the Arsenal Birds operating at optimal capacity, Dr. Schroeder has now been tasked with finding a way to improve upon that baseline. He has opted to record and digitize the raw human flight data of a select test subject, a legendary Erusean ace pilot currently only known to Osean and IUN intelligence as “Mister X”. Schroeder has begun to assemble a digital facsimile of Mister X with the aid of his two assistants, a pair of doctoral candidates from Accel University in Expo City: Martha Inoue, and Simon Cohen. While Inoue oversees the sublimation of Mister X’s neural data, Cohen translates it into computer code and implements it into each new version of the nascent artificial intelligence emerging under the trio’s care. Schroeder himself, meanwhile, focuses on analyzing and implementing the raw telemetry data gathered from Mister X’s haptic response flight suit, and the onboard observer drone that occupies the seat normally reserved for the Weapons Systems Operator (WSO) on his Su-30SM. Many conservatives and traditionalists in the Erusean military look on Schroeder and his team’s work with drone technology as something akin to witchcraft. Criticism of him and those in the government and military who support him was increasing of late, but has now been virtually silenced as a result of the tremendous performance of the MQ-99s and their automated algorithm in the surprise attack on the Osean Federation. One such general, Édouard Labarthe has routinely called for more oversight into Schroeder’s drone program, demanding it be shuttered completely now that it has seemingly served its purpose. Schroeder’s allies—within Erusea, and without—have made sure the general’s mad Cassandra rantings have fallen on deaf ears thus far. Dr. Schroeder sees himself as a steadfast champion of the future. In the divide between Man and Machine, he is firmly on the side of the machines and works tirelessly to bring a future where humans are no longer a factor in war into existence. Though the mystery around him still persists. Just how exactly DID he get such an impressive drone program off the ground so quickly, anyway? Whose shoulders is he standing on, and how worried SHOULD we be about that?  MISTER X Real Name: UNKNOWN Callsign(s): UNKNOWN Age: UNKNOWN Sex: Male Nationality: UNKNOWN Signature Plane: Su-30SM Voice Actor: … NO DATA AVAILABLE   CHOPPINBURG A vast rainforest and wetland area in the subtropical region of southern Usea. Numerous rivers flow through Choppinburg down from the Hatties and Waiapolo mountains and serve as vital inland shipping lanes for the city of Los Canas and the Roca Roja region in general. The majority of Usea’s domestic and export lumber resources come from Choppinburg, with nearly 65% of the regional market dominated by General Resource Ltd.’s Forests and Fisheries subsidiaries. The peaceful forests of Choppinburg have seen combat quite frequently in the past 20 years. They were once the staging ground for a Usean Rebel Forces supply operation during the Usean Rebellion of 1998, and again in 2005 when the Independent States Allied Forces conducted an air and ground assault against Erusean forces in retaking Istas Fortress from their control. Istas, now under IUN command, was one of the few inland IUN-PKF bases to weather the Erusean blitz attack of the Lighthouse War with minimal damage, but the subsequent Erusean domination of the airspace of Usea has limited its ability to launch any effective counterattacks so far. The area was also struck by a number of fragments from the Ulysses 1994XF04 asteroid, creating a number of crater lakes in the region after years of heavy rainfall eventually filled the craters to their brim with water. Neucom Inc. is currently constructing a massive research and development campus inside one such crater. The technology conglomerate is planning to use the facility to conduct research on nanotechnology once it is completed in 2025.  BIG BABY HUEY Knocker derides the Arsenal Bird as “Big Baby Huey” when it first arrives on the scene. It’s one of the first of what are going to be several examples of Ace Combat 7 just casually overlapping with real world Earth on a granular level. We already heard Jesus get namedropped by Knocker, so we know that Jesus Christ also exists in Strangereal too. Anyway, Big Baby Huey was a cartoon character created in 1950 by cartoonist Martin Taras for Paramount Pictures’ Famous Studios (later renamed Paramount Cartoon Studios). Portrayed as a gigantic and hopelessly naïve duckling in a baby bonnet and diaper, Big Baby Huey first appeared in the animated short Quack-a-Doodle-Doo, the first of eleven cartoons featuring the character from 1951 to 1959. The plots of these shorts usually involved the mayhem that would ensue from the gigantic Huey attempting to interact with his normal sized peers.  KESTREL II The OFS Kestrel II is—or rather was the flagship of the Osean Maritime Defense Force’s 1st Fleet, and the unoffical flagship of the entire Osean navy. A state-of-the-art Ford-class next generation aircraft carrier, it was one of several hulls laid in the aftermath of the Circum-Pacific War to replace the numerous Osean carriers lost to Yuktobanian and Belkan forces, the original Kestrel among them. Crowned with the name of “the ship that saved the world,” the Kestrel II was christened by the former commander of her namesake vessel, Admiral Nicholas A. Andersen. Prior to the outbreak of the Lighthouse War, the Kestrel II had seen action mostly in a peacekeeping and training role. In early 2016, it was deployed to the Fuscum Sea as part of an IUN-PKF naval flotilla to oversee Estovakia’s adherence to the peace treaty it had signed with the Republic of Emmeria at the end of the Anean War. The Kestrel II joined the Emmerian flagship Marigold in maritime operations for well over a year before being recalled home to Oured. The carrier was one of the lucky few Osean flagships that managed to escape the Erusean surprise attack on the OMDF, being at sea at the time of the strike. When Erusean MQ-99s finally located her, the Kestrel II had ample warning from OMDF maritime command and its fighter contingent managed to successfully defend the carrier. From that point onward, the Kestrel II became the tip of the spear for Osea’s counterstrike operations against Erusea. The carrier has been parked off the Farbanti coast for the past two weeks conducting repeated airstrikes against the Erusean capital in an attempt to force the Kingdom’s surrender. Thus far, the Eruseans have endured, and have even managed to use the damage from the Kestrel II’s attacks as a rallying cry to gin up international outrage against Osea. That was until May 30th’s Operation Dual Wielder, of course. While the IUN-PKF forces were engaging AAS-01 Liberty in the skies over Choppinburg, the Kestrel II was simultaneously attacked and sunk off of Farbanti by AAS-02 Justice. Furthermore, its entire fighter compliment was shot down by MQ-101 drones. Crew casualties were heavy during the sinking, and survivors rescued by the Erusean navy have been taken as prisoners of war. With the loss of the Kestrel II, Osea’s naval power and force projection ability has been virtually obliterated.  CASUALTIES Brownie is the first named character to die in Ace Combat 7, and the first victim of Mister X. She will not be the last on either of those two fronts. With Brownie’s death at the hands of the mysterious intruder to the Arsenal Bird engagement, a pilot later identified as “Mister X”, the tally of “Rookie vs. Master” now stands at 0-1 for the Master. Despite Brownie’s promising talent as a fledgling pilot, she was still easy pickings for the predator in the orange-wingtiped Su-30SM. Brownie’s increasing desperation over the radio as Mister X stalks and toys with her like a panther with a cornered prey is harrowing to listen to. All her training evaporates and she turns into a scared little girl and there is nothing that Trigger, Clown, Knocker or anyone else can do to help her. Feel free to read whatever you’d like into the idealistic and optimistic character who’s been the only one to question the violence and the nature of war being the first person the game murders. It’s exactly what you think it is.   MQ-101 Manufacturer: North Osea Gründer Industries GmbH Role: Unmanned Aerial Combat Vehicle Manufactured: ????-2019 Status: In-Use Primary Operators: Erusea Quick Facts:
  ARSENAL BIRD The crowning achievement of aerial engineering and Osean military force projection. Or at least it was… Formally know as the Aerial Arsenal Ships (AAS), the Arsenal Birds are a pair of gigantic fixed wing continuous flight aircraft propelled by eight massive contra-rotating propellers and powered by a microwave rectenna uplink tether which draws solar energy collected by the International Space Elevator. Two Arsenal Birds have been produced thus far by the Osean Federation for the purpose of protecting the ISEV; the prototype model AAS-01 “Liberty” and the production model AAS-02 “Justice”. Two additional Arsenal Birds have been planed, but as of the outbreak of the Lighthouse War, production on AAS-03 and AAS-04 has been halted indefinitely. The Arsenal Bird responsible for the near wipeout loss of IUN air power over Choppinburg was AAS-01 Liberty. The basic design of the Arsenal Bird airframe strongly resembles that of the now-destroyed Arkbird A-SAT spaceplane, which had been used by the Osean Federation initially for peaceful near-Earth orbit space exploration duties before it was co-opted into a weapon of war by Belkan Gray Men agents in 2010 and destroyed on President Harling’s executive order. With a wingspan of 1,100 meters, the Arsenal Bird is the largest man made aircraft ever created, dwarfing even the P-1112 Aigaion heavy command cruiser developed and deployed by the Federal Republic of Estovakia. The Arsenal Bird can house up to 80 MQ-101 drone aircraft, which can be deployed at-will from the underside of the mothership, and then dock with the craft via magnetic locks once operations are complete. The craft has six air-to-air missile launcher ports on its ventral side, and AAS-02 Justice has an additional four pulse laser turrets supplementing its armament even further. The most impressive feature of the aircraft, however, is the Active Protection System (APS), a near impenetrable energy shield that can be extended in a bubble formation around the Arsenal Bird which renders it virtually invincible to conventional weaponry. However, the APS cannot withstand attacks from hypersonic or nuclear weaponry, and it is reliant on energy drawn from the space elevator to operate. The APS can only function for a limited time by overclocking the rectenna dome and drawing over 500% of its regular power intake from the ISEV. The rectenna will then disengage and cool down for a brief period before reactivating the APS. During that time, the Arsenal Bird will be vulnerable. Should the connection between the rectenna and the space elevator ever be severed, however, the Arsenal Bird will no longer have the power on its own to raise the APS. Both craft were constructed at the IUN-PKF base at Tyler Island, and then launched via the island’s SSTO mass driver, though they required an additional solid rocket booster propellant to get them airborne, as at over 100,000 tons a piece they were too heavy to be launched by the electromagnetic rail of the mass driver alone. Once airborne, the craft were intended to never land again, save for dire emergencies. To facilitate this, a complex self-repair and diagnostic system was designed and built inside the Arsenal Birds to allow them to continue operating in perpetuity without worry of mechanical failure. Additional supplies and special repairs technical crews are ferried to each Arsenal Bird whenever needed via a fleet of hyper-sonic supply ships stationed at and launched from Tyler Island. The Arsenal Birds were intended to protect the space elevator from any potential terrorist or military threat, but it is clear now that Erusea has co-opted both Liberty and Justice and the strategic AI system that controls them that their potential as weapons of mass destruction far outstripped their role as mere guard dogs for the elevator. With an engagement radius of over 1,200km outward from the space elevator, the Eruseans effectively have de facto control over all of south-western Usea now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obP-ztpRBeI

This mission's ace gave me a lot of trouble after I'd finished the story. It takes a bit of time to actually engage the TGTs at the start, so you have to take down four planes in about 40 seconds, which was a bit tight. First time I got her to spawn, I was immediately shot down by Arsenal Bird  Cooked Auto posted:And the "Time to show the other guys that we get wet, wild, and do dirty, dirty things" is a very unappreciated line. Very very true. I love the delivery too, it definitely feels like it's kind of Knocker's thing, rather than spur of the moment.

I want the following to go on to the record: I viscerally hated Mr. X the first time I played this mission. The tonal whiplash of the cutscene that followed didn’t help. It wasn’t until I beat the game did I finally come to understand him: He’s chasing glory that’s long since passed him by, and has a hard time letting the message sink in. In a way, I pitied him. All that talent, all that experience, all that training…and where did he end up?

It's not a war crime to shoot retreating troops. Just surrendering troops. Although there are conditions that render firing on retreating troops criminal (for example, firing on parachutists, seriously wounded soldiers, or life rafts), an enemy currently retreating is still an active combatant. Since Brownie was still in a functioning plane, she is an acceptable target in a legal sense, even if it was a total dick move.
