It’s amazing what having a proper attacker will do for ground missions.
I’m liking AC7 so far. The story is definitely bonkers and not their best stuff, but the gameplay makes up for it.
Shame multiplayer didn’t have any co-op or PVE scenarios.
I also wish I could replay missions with unlimited time so I could systematically eliminate everything on the map. The fleet destruction mission was very satisfying.

Those are always my favorite missions in Ace Combat games, the ones where there's a shit ton of interesting ground targets and you just gotta blow everything up.
Yeah, those first couple Annihilation missions in AC7 where players can just cut loose and go nuts with our lord and savior Pope Warthog are absolute gaming bliss.
I am having a hell of a time completing the mission requirements to unlock the aces in missions 10, 16 and 18.
In mission 10 I know you can use the contrails of SAMs fired at the VIP to hunt them down but it doesn't happen fast enough. 16 seems to make use of holding down the look button to ID targets as you fly towards them so it takes less time but racking up the score count just doesn't seem possible, and 18 requires total destruction of all forces in 2.30 minutes? Is there a nuke I don't know about?
I have gotten very far in this game using first the F-15C with it's pulse laser and then the SU-57 with it's version. I have found that they are excellent in certain situations, like against drones, because the game is expecting missiles and doesn't start evading soon enough. Even online I get a fair number of kills using them. But in these three missions I have tried missiles and bombs and lasers. Nothing is working for me. I haven't tried rockets yet and I haven't tried an all gun run.
A fighter pilot I know IRL adores Ace Combat. In that Angel-dancing one he would be in and F22 while is buddy would fly in an SU-32 as they slaughter everyone online.

He also liked the weather system. Raindrops can collect on the canopy, which allows you to play a game that fighter pilots play in real life called “cloud surfing.” Cloud surfing is when you fly as close to a cloud as you can. If you get too close, droplets will appear on the glass, and you lose.
Picked this up thanks to Target's B2G1 deal. I'm only on mission 4, but when the crap can I start buying upgrades for my F16C? Do I need to unlock other aircraft first, or keep playing to a certain point?
Stay in the clouds (this you know).
Your job is to pop up and snipe the radar facilities. Use long range anti-ground special weapons. You shouldn't be above the clouds for more than 15 seconds. The exception is the last facility. Do not just fly in a straight line towards it, use the clouds to circle behind it. Then full burn and blow up the last station before you get shot.
Yeah, it sucks--the second half is fine, but the first half is tedious bullshit.
"Stay in the cloud. Except when they're aren't clouds. And when there are, they'll fuck with your guidance and/or maneuverability. Oh, and by the way, these are special missiles immune to countermeasures and they'll do more damage."
The first half is a shitty mission, I ended up muting the audio just so I wouldn't have to listen to the same tired chatter every time. The second half was actually enjoyable, though maybe it's just nice hunting F/A-18s rather than those drones again.
What in the ever loving hell, mission 5? Targeting refuses to lock onto the bombers half the time, and I'm getting missle lock spammed like it's going out of style. Guess I need to buy a new aircraft or something.
I was confused when the VO pronounced it Yuktovania, but I've got one of the magazines from the ending cinematic paused and they spelled it Yuktovania there. I wonder if it was always supposed to be pronounced that way and the b/v didn't get translated as intended

For mission 10. Get the Mig-31, boost its speed with parts. Then hunt down a straight line for the sames. There are 3 lines going across from each other, the SAMS will appear once you get close enough. You can also view a map online to get a better idea where they are. The ACE will spawn with a group of interceptors.

First two times I played this, I didn't realize that the SAM gauntlet isn't cosmetic, and you actually need to find and destroy the sites and intercept aircraft because this isn't AC6, and your wingman is useless.
Hoping the Su-37 I poured a lot of money into is fast enough for the job.
So I finally hunted down those last 3 aces. Turns out I was using the wrong plane laser wise, should have used the F-15C, its more maneuverable than the SU-57. That and the F-35 and some luck solved my issues.
After the irritating roadblock what was the first encounter with Sol 1, I have graduated to...the second encounter with Sol 1. He sucks, I don't like fighting him.

You get to do a little bit of everything.
Worked my way through to the SU- tree, will probably start on the F-15 next to see what the skins I unlocked look like.
I was looking at how much some of those later planes cost and god damn
Air-Burst missiles are civilization.
Awesome for multiplayer. Sad no plane in the SU/MiG tree has them.
holy shit

the F-35 program mixed with the F-22 program, what a gigantic cluster
the b-52 finds this projected service life quaint and adorable.
Their range/travel speed/damage lets you clear a lot of enemies fast.
I will keep plugging away.
And he's not the only one.
I love that stuff, like real Yakuza reviewing the Yakuza series.
Awesome
God, same here.
Hard to listen to the radio drama with the constant white knuckle maneuvering and 'Missile! Missile! Missile!'

Which is of course, a giant red flag for Belka.

Music player in game, three additional planes, and three additional missions which are a separate storyline

i actually landed like 6 missile hits pretty early in one of those fights and the game didn't even react to it. feels like nothing really matters.
It's mentioned in missions that Mihaly is such a skilled pilot that he can minimize the damage a missile hit does.
Clearly he is:
