actually they are good for dog fighting, they have a much better turn radius then back swept wings. The issue is they are much more susceptible to shear force and as a result it can't do much better than mach 1.5~1.8 without damaging/ destroying themselves. If we ever come up with a material or stronger Titanium/ Aluminum Alloy they would probably be more popular.

And I said "though", meaning that, despite its air-to-air record, it's not invincible and can be taken down quite easily.

It was probably just laziness. Morgan and Falken are really similar so it's far easier to put both of them in than it would be to put two actually different planes in. Raven Raven was already in the game so it was no effort either. Lazy devs.

Dominic Barnes
yes, it actually has its own special fuel that doubles as coolant and oil.
Chase Hill
the FAEB is a unique SPW to the Falken in 7.
the Nosferatu does not bring anything unique to the table, considering 8AAM and EML are relatively common SPWs in 7's roster.
Lincoln Gray
Is that Thunderbird 1
Aiden Ramirez
it looks cool there is your incentive, and it's a staple of the series. the plan of the DLC planes was the ADF line, raven falken and morgan. these make the most sense even though I would have preferred the cfa-44 or xfa-27

Bentley James
FAEB is not and has NEVER been unique to the FALKEN.
UAV is a weapon that is unique to the Raven.
Burst missile is Unique to the Morgan.
ADMM would have been amazing with the Nosferatu AND performed ground attack better than a FAEB.
The Falken has nothing unique to offer, not even it's look.

There is actually a toilet seat in this jet, I shit you not. I always loved Russian planes how they painted them like that. Also chad thrust vectoring.

>pointless because it didn't matter which one you did. also all the objectives were just to destory shit
Playing missions differently is never pointless, it's called "replay value". Each objective had it's own allied and enemy characters, map-locale and sets of unique dialog.
>empty space flooded with just a shit ton of enemies that you rarely even had to destory
Nope, often there was a sense of progession to the maps as you worked your way from one objective to another. And yeah, more AI on the field(both allied and enemies) does help simulate war better.
>competent allies
holding down D pad to instantly kill all enemies on screen isn't what I would call "competent"
Fuckoff with your simplistic monkey exaggerations, that was literally one feature of the allied AI. They still did more damage, were more numerous and in the case of your wingman, could be reliably directed to attack and destroy targets you chose.
>ah yes who could forget what's her name and what's his name, very memorable. 6 has the weakest story in the series, and the worst plane selection. 6 has like 11 planes in total.
Pretty easy to remember most of them actually since they would show-up every other mission and had tons of dialog for the player when he chose to support their objective. They even got data-viewer entries, something that this game completely lacks. AC7 had a carousel of characters that dissapeared after afew missions, were killed, or were killed off-screen.
AC7's story was trash, and no I don't think AC6 had a great story either.
Gabriel Brooks
Shamrock is big gay he even manages to get himself killed if he flies in front of your guns.
QAAM Pixy was BASED. Bummer PJ's F-16 can't keep up in the end game.
Wingmen in 5 were just ok. They only really did good in missions with lots of targets in one spot like Journey Home.
Liam Ramirez
They don't realize that you can actually light up contrails in 7 with things like PLSLs and TLS do they?
Or how those lasers can also light up the rain on stages.
Or how you can watch the light of a missile streaking through clouds and its vibrancy changes based on thickness of the cloud itself?
Or the distortion effect on the EML, and the fact that you can see electrical discharge zapping the clouds if you fire the EML in them?
The ways the environment reacts to the weapons your use is pretty gorgeous at times.

>A-10 were so much of a liability in desert storm, that they were pulled back and replaced by F-16's

when I think of replay value I think of the branching missions from X, and the different ace squadrons and dialogue from zero. 6 has almost zero replay value, because the different objectives as I stated don't matter. I'm not gonna replay seluma peak just to destory helicopters instead of bombers. the "sense" of progression was just new enemies randomly appearing out of no where. just more mindless shit to have your allies instantly kill.by the way pixy was a far more effective and damaging wingman compared to shamrock, not to mention more memorable and likeable then MUH FAMILY. the wingman alone from 7 are also far more likeable and memorable, and this isn't even mentioning characters from the main story. let's compare mihaly to pasternak, pasternak has 10 lines of dialogue total and one fight where he appears out of nowhere and you fuck him up. milhaly has 3 separate fights that are all more memorable

Spinal compression during ejection is serious business. I heard that once a pilot goes beyond 3 ejections they pull him/her from active flight duty because their body won't be able to take more without serious injury.

Lol I'm not gonna bother responding to your wall of garbo opinions, but as I was skimming through the end caught my eye.
You are seriously lauding the Mihaly fights? Really? I've never seen such a paper tiger in AC games. The fucker is only scary in cutscenes and when you are doing your first run with a complete shit plane.
The first two fights he is literally just a scripted invulnerable NPC. It seriously made me think of ACAH dogfights. At least Pasternak makes you sweat with ADMMs.

It takes skill to get a lock on to other jets while avoiding getting locked on. Its a lot more technical than the "seat of your pants" flying from the piston age.

Once again, it was a hyperbole. I do not think using missiles takes no skill, but aerial combat is much more reliant on the technological capabilities of the weapons and aircraft than actual pilot skill in comparison to the past.

Its always been like that.
I bet if you threw actual peer to peer aircraft against each other (ie, Typhoon vs Rafale vs Flanker) in a modern day engagement it would ultimately depend on pilot skill instead of relying entirely on technology.
It was the same in WW2, after all the Luftwaffe racked up insane kill counts in the Eastern front because the soviets were riding around in Po-2's and iL-2's while the krauts had BF-109's and Fw-190s.

Sorry user, but ejecting is no joke. During ejection there is an insane force on you spine. Many fighter pilots have suffered damage to their spine during ejecting that they have been found unfit for duty. Pulling the ejection seat handle is more often than not a career ending move, due to various reasons.
Nolan Parker
>I bet if you threw actual peer to peer aircraft against each other (ie, Typhoon vs Rafale vs Flanker) in a modern day engagement it would ultimately depend on pilot skill instead of relying entirely on technology.
It would almost certainly rely on the technical abilities of the aircraft more than the skill of the pilots. It is just the nature of much of modern warfare.
>It was the same in WW2, after all the Luftwaffe racked up insane kill counts in the Eastern front because the soviets were riding around in Po-2's and iL-2's while the krauts had BF-109's and Fw-190s.
A quote from my previous post.
>but aerial combat is much MORE reliant on the technological capabilities of the weapons and aircraft than actual pilot skill in comparison to the past.
Also I'd expect even someone who knows almost nothing about WWII to understand that the Soviets weren't exactly famous for training their military well.
The fact that computers are now doing the work to find and kill the enemy inherently means that the human operator is having their skill taken out of the equation. It is being automated like any other industry/job.

Levi Robinson
The XF-84H was almost certainly the loudest aircraft ever built, earning the nickname "Thunderscreech" as well as the "Mighty Ear Banger".[16] On the ground "run ups", the prototypes could reportedly be heard 25 miles (40 km) away.[17] Unlike standard propellers that turn at subsonic speeds, the outer 24–30 inches (61–76 cm) of the blades on the XF-84H's propeller traveled faster than the speed of sound even at idle thrust, producing a continuous visible sonic boom that radiated laterally from the propellers for hundreds of yards. The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run.[17] Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the T40's dual turbine sections, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews.[11] In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H.[18]
The pervasive noise also severely disrupted operations in the Edwards AFB control tower by risking vibration damage to sensitive components and forcing air traffic personnel to communicate with the XF-84H's crew on the flight line by light signals. After numerous complaints, the Air Force Flight Test Center directed Republic to tow the aircraft out on Rogers Dry Lake, far from the flight line, before running up its engine.[14] The test program did not proceed further than the manufacturer's Phase I proving flights; consequently, no USAF test pilots flew the XF-84H. With the likelihood that the engine and equipment failures coupled with the inability to reach design speeds and subsequent instability experienced were insurmountable problems, the USAF cancelled the program in September 1956.[19]

The navy will never complain over getting more impressionable idiots to shove into shit jobs, user. Recruiters are sometimes chosen because they can wrangle volunteers into jobs they didn't want, not just because they want a zero effort assignment or they need gotten away from someone.

Although considering how the government wants to push the F-35 for export, I'm surprised they didn't lean on the filmmakers to give it publicity.
Daniel Bell
Extremely simple design, and cost effective CAS [;platform
Isaiah Garcia
You're right. Since infrared missiles are tracking their target passively, they are hard to detect. However some planes such as the A-10C have advanced missile warning systems that can detect combustion smoke plumes and sound off a warning to the pilot. There are still some shortcomings, e.g. the system can only determine that a missile was fired and not its target. So you can get alot of false alarms, when e.g. you wingman shoots a missile of his own at a target. Also it is limited in range.
webm related, that AH-1 doesn't have it and the pilots had no advance warning
Nicholas Brown
That's not an S400 though.
Ryder Smith
not sure who here enjoys commercial aircraft but my favorite aircraft for years has been and always will be the ATR-72, in my opinion one of the most aesthetic aviation designs ever built even if the dash8 is functionally years ahead of it

No bossfight at all, ala the un-named Yellow 13 is still better than some scripted-"super badass" that can't be shot-down until the game turns off his invincibility. Oh and 6's "setpeice bosses" Agaion and Chandelier were much more fun than the Arsenal bird fights. Those weren't even close.

you can, the b52 for example has some downward ejecting seats for the crew
it's just not seen as very appropriate in the world of 0/0 ejectors
the ka52 has explosive propeller blades that fire themselves away from the helicopter prior to ejector seats firing, but that's the only one that does it afaik
Ethan Williams
easy
Caleb Mitchell
I know but it looks so strange to see it happen like that.
Jonathan Brooks
Some helicopters do have ejector seats. Activating the ejector seat in an attack helicopter first disconnects the main rotor from the fuselage, so that the pilot's seat can be launched upwards. In the video, the rotor does not shoot off the helicopter before it explodes, so I assume that the pilot did not eject.
Kevin Morgan
Interesting, I thought I was a genius coming up with alternative ejecting methods but seems that tried and build one themselves.
thanks user
>it's just not seen as very appropriate in the world of 0/0 ejectors
Yeah, figured as much.
Logan Robinson
whats 0/0 mean?
Mason Morris
There are very few helicopters with an ejection seat system. The Ka-52 has one for example, although its design is very unconventional. It works by first popping off the rotor blades and then the pilot.
Nope, was a turkroach, the guy shooting was a kurd. Wouldn't wish that death on anybody, though. Getting hit by a missile you had no chance of seeing, then loosing your whole tail section due to a very lucky hit, then your rotor blades break off due to the uncontrollable spin and then free falling to your death.
Bentley Reed
Raptorion.
Jonathan Hughes
Zero altitude, zero speed. It means you could safely eject even if you were sitting still on the ground.
Dylan Walker
>free falling to your death.
doesnt sound much worse than having no legs and crawling around your friends and family's bodies after an air/drone strike.
Jaxon Jenkins
>those engine muzzles activating at 0:16
Owen Phillips
The B-52 is a real exception in the world of ejection, though not surprisingly given its venerable nature. You know that there's two(or three I can't remember) crewmen that don't get ejectors? They have to wait for the rest of the crew to shoot out then they get to try and fit themselves through the hole left from the downward ejectors and hope the plane hasn't gotten too low.
At least it did, I'm not sure how it is nowadays with the much reduced crew.
0 speed, 0 angle
basically stock still and not aiming up or down, since the motion and angle of the plane will carry on to the ejector seat it used to be they'd only work if you were going fast enough/were high enough/weren't pointing the aircraft too sharply

in other words, flying an airplane.
The downside to DCS always has been the fact that it's expensive as fuck and 80% of the modules aren't worth the money, not the fact that you can click on things.

There is.

>Story in a sim
You have WW2, but you already know how that ends.

>Not that I need them, but are there any Descent mods to suit modern-day QoL stuff? textures, graphics, interface size, widescreen?
There are source ports. They should have what you're looking for. I've never really tried to upgrade the graphics or anything, so I don't really know what's out there.

>How well do the game's work on modern h/w and s/w?
They work just fine for me on Windows 7.

>IL2.
I was hoping for something with modern jets, and preferably in a fictional world.
Ayden Garcia
which one is it? also do you have the webm?
will do user. I don't really mind different flight physics, I just want nice campaigns. (multiplayer is out of the question because internet here is shit and nobody plays anything that isn't mainstream).
You can stall and manoeuver whenever you want? fucking beautiful!
cheers

>What are the best options for a hotas set?
Depends on what you want to do with it.
IMO best HOTAS for combat games is the T16000M set.

Best HOTAS set if you're into flight sims is the Saitek Yoke.
Best Hotas if you're into space sims is the Rhino X-56

That's kind of Ace Combat and that's it.

You forgot that the base game itself is old and broken as shit but they can't be bothered to fix anything.

Not fictional world, but look up Falcon BMS. You can make all the fictional scenarios you want, and the game emulates how it would play out if a modern military were fighting it. Pic related.
Also dozens of free campaigns online.
The non-autist version of this is Falcon 4, which is the same thing but way more primitive. BMS is a study sim of the F-16 and requires you to know where things are in the cockpit in order to operate the aircraft.
That said, its dynamic campaign is unmatched. Nothing has come close to the detail and depth that you can make campaigns with using it.

That's a very good criticism of it.
It's also a resource hog for literally no reason.

It's Macross Plus, it's an OVA series, that I think they updated it into a movie format. OVA is better since it helps flesh things out.
Noah Cruz
Good choice
