Leaked airplanes of the upcoming Ace Combat 8. Which one will you be flying /v/?

>>712734304 (OP)
ngl lookin kinda wack

>>712734304 (OP)
Didn't Project Aces actually get contacted by China about putting chink planes in Ace Combat or was that a fever dream?

>>712734304 (OP)
I want to fly a B 2 in an Ace Combat game
I don't CARE that attackers and bombers are terrible
I WANT ONE
>>712734469
IIRC they've talked to the Chinese and the British about new planes

We should stop building tunnels in our superweapon that are conveniently large enough for a jet fighter to manouever through.

>>712734660

>>712734660
The electricians won't like that

>>712734304 (OP)
I'll fly the sexiest one, as always.

>>712734660
Enough of this Osean nonsense. Build me the biggest most giantest flying aircraft carrier, now!

>>712734304 (OP)
none, gen5 planes are boring

>>712734836
Just look at those tits. The french know no shame.

>>712734304 (OP)
Yo I got the design for the most futuristic plane of all

I'm waiting for AC8 to be the most corporate futuristic kino since AC3

Nightraven, Delphinus, UPEO, AI's, UAVs, dump that shit all over my nuts bro

>>712734304 (OP)
Will my beloved ever come back?

>>712734304 (OP)
Why are 95% of them some variation of a flying wing?

>>712734660
how else are we supposed to have tunnel racer segments in our flying game?

>>712734304 (OP)
Man, i just wish for night raven to make another appearance

>>712734540
>B2
There's one, but you need to play that Call of Duty spinoff to try it
>>712734660
Haha
No

>>712734836
The Rafale and Gripen E look so fucking cool, it's too bad they don't get much recognition in Vidya.

>>712734540
>I want to fly a B 2 in an Ace Combat game
You are ten years too late for that

>>712738446
Not with mods.

>>712734304 (OP)
Let's be real, AC will plug the GCAP before any of these.

>>712739654
>GCAP
Never happening. It's being designed by committee from 3 countries that have never built a 5th gen fighter themselves

>>712738367
They recently flew an AI piloted Gripen in a mock BVR battle against a real pilot with success btw i thought that was interesting

>>712734836
>>712735031
I prefer YF-23.

>>712739737
Japan already made a 5th gen prototype before that flew and Britain has stealth tech through projects like the stormshadow, Italy assembles F35s, etc

>>712734836
That's not SU-47

can we please have more than 2 attackers on the next game?

>>712734836
too bad they got destroyed by chinese jets

>>712740257
What other attackera can they even add? Every modern plane aside from bombers have multirole ability.

>>712734836
anon this is a blue board

>>712740507
you're right, i hate modern warfare, i'll just play the ps2 trilogy again when ac8 comes out

>>712734304 (OP)
>Droneshit
none

How are there people who claim they're into planes yet only play Ace Combat? Why not play actual sims?

>>712734540
What new planes would they get from the British? The old Harrier and Tornado?

>>712741440
I used to work with them. Sometimes I just want to be silly and enjoy the fun of fighter planes without the minutia of flipping switches. My dad was the same way and worked under NSWC as an EOD. Him and his buddies would just goof around in ARMA while some fat armchair faggot would being going apeshit on comms.

I want to go back.

>>712737376
Makes it hard for radar to see it
The trade off is less maneuverability, but these days the idea is that no jet can actually dodge a modern missile and they're all just going to be shooting missiles at each other from too far away to even see each other directly.
So fast and hard to see is the focus, at the expense of classic fighter jet stuff.

>>712735231
>you're telling me one engine provides all that thrust?
only for the itty bitty babby jets

>>712739519
>mods
Ace Combat Infinity really was a fever dream wasn't it

>>712741440
Because fun.

>>712735340
I hope the TR-3B is real

>>712741440
why do you claim you're into planes when you play sims? that shit is nothing but turning knobs and flipping switches and has nothing to do with planes

>>712742169
>the last airworthy Phantoms are officially dead

>>712744121
>an entire crowd of boomers with telephotos and not a cell phone in sight
beautiful

>>712746106
right at the first second, all the way to the right

>>712744210
man, can you imagine what that must feel like
just yanking back and going almost full vertical right after takeoff with two garbage can sized thrust generators pushing your ass with an amount of force best described as "i don't know offhand but it's a fucking lot"

>>712746227
GOD DAMMIT

>>712746106
there are people recording with a cellphone though?

Hail Belka

>>712746478
At last, the F-35 Lightning IIII

>>712745136
When they announced 7 I was so excited that they would add infinity 2 as the MP but it was just PVP railgun fagging. Would've loved to do sorties and special missions in the B1B again

>>712734836
Prefer the F 15 Active, but that is a sharp looking plane.

>>712741487
Not very exciting unless they but some missions to showcase vtol planes.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

>>712740021
got more of that kinda art, i'm a degenerate

>>712747060
Literally the only thing I wanted for the multiplayer. The normal pvp is some of the most boring uninspired shit, it sucks. I miss the fun little random events in each match too, it was so neat.

I just want my fantasy Neucom and GR planes

>>712747278
What's that huge one on the port side of the stealth bomber?

>>712749176
>I miss the fun little random events
https://youtu.be/MoOijqT6j6o?t=249
The Imats paints were fun too We could've run sorties with Miura as he flew with his favorite idols and never known.

>>712749359
B1-B Lancer. My beloved

>>712749883
what a crazy vehicle

Love AC and ACbros

Help bros the aircraft carrier battle in PJW DLC is kicking my ASS
I KEEP CRASHING INTO THEM WHILE JUKING FUCK

>>712734660

>>712745136
I want to go back...
Excalibur IV was the most fun i had in ages

>>712745136
There's no way to get it back via CFW or anything like that right? The window to do packet captures is long over...

>>712734660
crazy talk. how can you call it a superweapon if it doesn't have maintenance tunnels large enough for a jet to fly through at mach 4?

We have so far to go...

>>712741487
I think there specifically was a new fighter jet Kono was photographed with
I want to say it was the BAE Tempest?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Tempest
So pretty boring but eh
>>712752003
Watch where you're flying, dingus

>>712750161
It's a truly unfortunate plane, a high altitude super fast variable geometry bomber that came out just when all 3 of those things fell out of fashion hard. Now they're about to retire them while the BUFF is well past 60 years of service.

the sr-72 darkstar

>FEED ME THE OFS VULTURE
Which country should get chink plane in Strangereal ?

>>712753253
regrettable, thing is super cool. when will militaries learn that the cooler your army is the better it fights?

>>712755591
B-21 is equally as cool IMO, spooky triangle with no visible means of propulsion or lift to the uneducated.

>>712743136
This is why they won't get anyone to participate in their next war
Stop making it so lame and gay

New helicopters?

>>712755374
>Feed me Okinawa

>>712734660
sounds like woke propaganda to me

>>712757490
Mad we cancelled this
Madder some sensitivityfags were pearl clutching about the name

Generals belong on /vg/

>>712748158
This

>>712757490
Stealth UH-60 fucking when?

>>712761483
Retard

>>712748793
God, I love the Draken. Those Swedes knew how to make a sexy dorito.
>Saab advertises their cars using their fighter jets- even if it's a separate company, it's still the Saab family- even being one of the first to really jump on driver-centric controls or giving their cars a stealth mode that turns off all the interior lights other than the speedometer
>Saab goes under
>Koenigsegg builds 200mph hypercars in an air base turned factory that the Swedish air force used to fly Viggens out of, includes an icon referencing the squadron on every car to this day
>Saab Auto hits hard times and is sold off
>GM buys Saab Auto, tries to put a stop to their autistic engineering and eventually they go broke
>there's talks of Koenigsegg buying Saab and continuing their combined Swedish weirdness, giving Koenig a foothold in the "less than oil baron money" market and a test bed for common tech, and saving Saab from the Ford and China downward spiral that Volvo went through
>GM fucks around for years, pulls out, sells Saab to Spyker who goes broke and has their assets nationalized by some Swedish factory-file that then also goes broke
Every day I am sad.

>>712743136
Wow they made jets lame too? Is there anything in war that'a cool anymore?
>tanks get wiped by aliexpress drones
>infrantrymen shoot at each other from miles away
>now jets don't dogfight
We got ONE cool video from the entire Ukraine war and it was the ukr soldier vs mongol knife fight. That's it. The rest was lame as fuck.

>>712761798
Already exists.

>>712762669
I meant when the FUCK are they going to show it off publicly? It's the biggest open secret coming from Area 51.

>>712762776
I always thought the F-14 looked goofy as fuck

>>712762916
Have you come out to your parents yet or are you still in the closet?

>>712762775
Same day the reveal the SR-72.

Is there anywhere where you can pilot one of these without having to jump fire hoops? Not even looking for a sim but just a game with a cool mission with it.

>>712762776
>F-14 flying that slow with its wings retracted
STALL WARNING STALL WARNING STALL WARNING

I'm trans btw, if that matters

>>712763338
Ace Combat 3 sort of has a mission with it, it's kinda short though

>>712763338
HAWX
I think one of the later afterburners has it too

>>712734836
WTF this is a blue board

>>712741487
Japan's next sixth gen fighter is co-developed with the British.

Lads, I bought AC7 for cheap during the previous sale, hasn't started it yet. Is there a good and synthetic tl;dr lore text or video I can read/watch to catch up? I feel like I won't get the full experience without knowing the previous events and tidbits, even if I suppose the game will make it easier for newcomers into the series. But still.

>>712764408
You should emulate and play 4, 5, and zero

>>712762982
I know the volleyball scene in Top Gun made you feel weird, faggot, no need to project.

>>712739737
The British helped build the f-35, it's as close as you're going to get without working with the US, china or Russia. Both Japan and the UK have a long history in aviation and their design goals mostly align, if they can't do it then nobody can.

>>712764408
I was about to say there's basically nothing besides reoccurring continents at war which are easy to understand as direct analogies to earth countries but then there is some key narrative Easter eggs you might appreciate more as an AC fan, as someone who played them all I didn't even catch the references so I'm not sure watching a 20 minute video would even give you the context you need.
