dude what if we made an arcadey air combat game but its complete bullshit and impossible to hit anything and also the player's plane randomly stalls and explodes

fucking hate this series

Filtered

The only thing in this game that honestly catapults it to a shitty 5/10 is that you can't rebind yaw to the mouse x-axis

impossible to hit anything

Try locking on

plane randomly stalls

let go of the air brake button and press accelerate

plane randomly explodes

planes tend to explode when hit so avoid enemy fire and terrain.

your bait needs to be more subtle

This game sucked ass. Project Wingman blows it out of the water and the Cold War level alone is better than this game.

bought the top gun ultimate edition on a huge sale the other day

first time ever playing an AC game so while it downloads go on youtube and watch story recaps of previous games to get up to speed

remember someone on Anon Babble told me to choose expert controls and play on normal difficulty first playthrough

play first mission

ok this is good

each mission gets more fun

get to mission 6 and hit a road block just cant beat it despite getting close to the required score a few times

drop the game for a few days

its a good game, looks and feels great. nice music too, how many missions are there? cant wait to finally beat mission 6 and get to the rest. also should i leave the dlc missions for after the main missions? was tempted to try them but then i thought they could be even harder than the mission I was stuck on

id recommend the long range anti-air special weapon. aircraft are worth a lot more points than the grounded targets and from such a long range its easy to connect the missiles

when i got close to running out of time I heard some npc saying something about theres still too many ground forces left for troops to move in or whatever so i equiped the huge bomb to drop on clustered ground troops, so just focus on enemy jets only?

I got the most of the DLCs on sale when I got the game. ended up using the CFA-44 Nosferatu from 25th anniversary DLC. it has a sub weapon that shoots up to 12 missiles at once at different targets. used it for a while until I got better at the game. Now I mix up what I'm using and use none DLC planes mostly.

an enemy plane is worth at least like 3x the points of a grounded structure

It's 20 main missions, the average for the AC games. It's got ups and downs but it's mostly ups as long as you don't mind the main gimmicks (weather and chasing drones), specially stage 7, man that mission is so fucking good.
As for score missions, i'd recommend paying attention to the scores enemies give and focus them with your missiles, lesser ground units you should kill with your guns specially if they're lined up conveniently.

CAUTION: PULL UP

CAUTION: PULL UP

if you got the top gun DLC try the F/A-18E super hornet and use the 4AGM. shoot off the 4 missiles at ground targets, then shoot a helicopter or plane with regular missiles, rinse and repeat. don't be afraid to resupply at the blue bases if you run low on ammo or health.

Here's an example of how to do mission 6 properly, in the stock starter plane so there's no excuse.
Just do this youtube.com/watch?v=Faed39R0uHQ

Solutions 0-8-1-6.

cheers fellas for the tips, now im hyped to jump in again and give mission 6 another go. also finally saw why you fuckers keep posting this dog lol fucker doesnt move one inch

do people really struggle with this mission? the return line exists for a reason

i've played every AC except JP AC3, PSP titles and that shitty railshooter in first person but whenever i see anyone else playing it's third person with camera hovering outside the plane you're in. do anon's really?

its still funny

you lose at least a minute of time for resupplying

and then what if we just didn't make another one, despite huge success of the previous one, and just leave everyone waiting 7, 8, 9 years idk

I've watched a few streamers play this game for the first time and see them struggle with this mission. I think it's a combination of them not knowing how to do a strafing run at low speeds, staying in an area trying to get that one ground target for too long, and not hitting the afterburner when moving on to the next area.

he's not entirely wrong

I try to run out of resources near the return line to compensate for that.

the DLC missions come after mission 13 story-wise, so you can do them then for immersion.

What was his fucking problem?

I want to replay this game but then I remember the trucks-in-a-sandstorm and save-the-president-from-hidden-SAMs levels and I don't even bother starting. What the hell were they thinking with that artificial difficulty?

he spent the game huffing cordium fumes

I stopped playing this at around mission 13 or whatever. I'm always like 2k points down by the end.

These aren't that bad, with trucks you can just fly around until one of them pops up and hidden SAMs aren't even a problem, you can find them by trails or, again, by just flying around. The real bullshit level is the one where you have to chase extremely hard-to-hit drones while flying through a lightning storm in mountains and you have do it fast otherwise shitters you're protecting will get shot down. Now that one was fucking annoying.

Well, see, I play AC with a flight stick. And by flight stick I mean my penis. And by play AC I mean I jerk off to the planes. So yeah, third person Is pretty nice.

For me the worst mission was the one that forces you to stay low altitude in the mountains otherwise you get locked on by an ultra fast missile.

Even though this game was the most fun to fly around, it had a lot of gimmicky missions that take away from that fun. Were the DLC missions better at least?

PULL UP

You just blow shit in the first two missions, the third is pretty gimmicky

That's the best mission fag

mission 13

Perhaps Mission 11 Fleet Destruction?
I always attack the area in the left first then, depending if you have anti-ship or anti-air missiles, the other two. I generally attack the platform to the north, hitting the junction pylons speeds up the destruction of the platforms and there's also time to destroy some enemy fighters.

kill all b*lkans
genocide all b*lkans

for me its the aircraft tree theme
