Could we see multiplayer shenanigans?

Also, has somebody linked Maxor's incorrect summary of this yet? (Sorry Just found this thread and haven't browsed every page)

I should state for the record that I'm planning to do a multiplayer video at some point, I just took the rest of the summer and fall off after completing the LP because I needed a rest and wanted to celebrate my "retirement" by doing gently caress all. I'm also planning on doing a mod showcase video that's currently being held up by one last big mod that I'm waiting on to come out taking for loving ever to finish apparently.

So now that the LP's over and I've had about a week to decompress, it's time, for anyone still milling around this thread, to start thinking about BONUS CONTENT!

:siren::siren::siren:What stuff that I haven't shown off yet would you like to see done in Ace Combat 7?:siren::siren::siren:

Please mark your requests in bold so that I won't skip over them while scrolling back through the thread.

can't wait for the AC-130 only playthrough.

that was a joke. maybe.

i've fallen behind on following the LP because i've actually been playing the game for the 3rd time, definitely looking forward to catching up someday! the write-ups on themes and stuff is insightful, i wish the games had managed to highlight those aspects more though there may only be so much you can do in an arcade flight sim.

looking forward to your LP's of project: wingman and assault horizon! :thumbsup:

Y'all are giving those guys a lot of credit for their blatant hacking. We've established in Safe Return that balloons can't be targeted by missiles, but clearly they had no respect for the mission design :argh:

I find it hilarious that it took nearly 20 years from the time it entered active service for the F-22 to score its first official kill. While other active modern fighters probably got their first one within their first decade of active service (F-35 excluded, mind).

Also for what it's worth, the United States has not been in any active combat situations with an enemy nation with any active air power in over 20 years, so there's been no one for the F-22s to actually engage with. Afghanistan and the Taliban didn't have an air force, and Iraq's air force folded hilariously quickly in the opening days of the US's 2003 invasion before any F-22s were even air worhty. Basically every active shooting engagement by the US for the last 20 years has been air-to-ground attacks conducted by drones.

Truth be told, there's simply no one out there that the F-22 will ever actually engage in a real life dogfight with. The only serious enemies the United States has left are enemies it will never, god willing, realistically enter a shooting war with because the ICBMs will start flying and we'll all be dead long before an F-22 ever gets within missile or gun rage of an Su-57 or J-20.

So yeah, let the drat thing shoot down harmless balloons because it will never ever score an actual real life kill.

It's odd for me to consider perspective. That balloon was at 60k feet, and the thing under it was the size of two or three school busses busses.

Although it is funny that the Air Forces official website lists the operational ceiling for the f22 at "above 50 thousand feet". So... did we just get a peek at just how high that sumbitch can go?

If you will not serve in combat, you will serve on the firing line!

I think one of the mission profiles originally floated was chasing spy planes. So it might be theoretically safe up to a fair bit higher than that. Probably not an ideal combat environment in the thin atmosphere though.

I guess F-22 kills are like the four minute mile.

Yes, definitely.

Although in this case an F-16 and not an F-22 was used.

You could probably just grab any previously recorded episode of one of your other Ace Combat LP's, rename it, reupload it, and half of us wouldn't notice the difference.

There is unfortunately no standout probation-pocalypse worthy meme in Fires of Rubicon like there are in Ace Combat games.

There WILL be plenty of room for other dumb batshit stuff to make the thread go insane, I will say that much up front :eng101:
