      Fun fact, most of the real threat that comes with aviation isn't with the enemy, it's with the maintainers being worked like dogs while homosexual pilots LARP.

        Most military aircraft mechanics are utter brainlets who only know how to follow step-by-step instructions in a manual.

        I saw a quote from an aviator once saying that the crews who had to fix the Tomcats had a hard time but he was sure they considered it a privilege because it was just such a cool plane. Wish I could find it again because holy shit that blew my mind.

    Because it's a fun arcade flight combat game that lets me pilot a range of aircraft in campy anime storylines with great music and fights against sci-fi superweapons.

        I mean, it does? 7 has a range of craft from old cold war fighters like the F104 and Mig 21bis, a bunch of F-fighters like the 16, 18, 14, ground attack craft like the A10 and Frogfoot, and then a bunch of the bleeding edge stuff like the pakfa and even sci-fi jets.

    That's like playing CoD instead of Arma or even just whatever RO tier game is popular at the moment and then complaining about the lack of realism.

      >That's like playing CoD instead of Arma
      There's no much difference, actually. You can play Arma just like Call of Duty if you pick right gamemode.
      But you can't play neither Arma nor any flight simulator just like Ace Combat, because Ace Combat is an arcade shit beyond recovery.

    No Ace Combat player is going to mistakenly believe they can pilot an actual plane but numerous DCS players genuinely think they have what it takes to intercept multiple bandits with a real F-16 so, really, who's the one being unrealistic?

    It's about the fantasy of being an ace fighter jet pilot rather than the reality. It caters to the fundamental visceral appeal of aerial combat that exists in the mind's eye of most people, rather than the more realistic but dull concept of sitting back lobbing long-range munitions at radar blips from stand-off ranges. Ace Combat tries to maintain authenticity in the visual recreations of real-world aircraft and a relatively plausible-looking world but that's where its engagement with realism ends, and imo it's for the better. If you like technical, realistic flight sims like DCS then more power to you, and I'm sure there are many people who enjoy both, but at the end of the day they're just not the same thing and aren't trying to be.

    I hope AC8 has a playable Nighthawk and also coop.
    I had good times flying my Nighthawk in ACI coop and letting other people handle air. Needed reliable people because otherwise you got shithead fighters who spent the whole round trying to steal ground targets (why???), but it was good when it happened.

    There is a world of difference between a trained pilot using a simulator to build muscle memory between training sessions and a 19 year old chinless mid-west dweeb thinking 3,000 hours of glorified roleplay can provide anything of worth beyond a basic familiarity with an aircraft's controls.

    No, I don't think, I just play video games and try not to overthink about what it means when someone as autistic as you claims that everyone here isn't a true scotsman over wanting to frick planes IRL

    Plus you keep honking your horn over posting wienerpits when no one cares, the only reason you get a (you) in the first place is because of your moronic claim about ace combat fans

    that one with the blue top half and lower brown half, I know what it says, it tells you how your plan is tilted in comparisson to the ground, right?
    and the one with the top view plane below it, it tell you the horizontal orientation of the plane, I think.
    A lot of those gauges must refer to the pressure and info on the many important parts of the plane.
    And the fuel ones, I know what these do. There are 2 so it's either a spare fuel tank or one per jet engine.
    I have no idea what I'm talking about but planes are super cool.
