Ace Combat: Infinity

[sesselpupser]

My Su-25 is maybe 20% of the way to level 4, I seem to be using it basically all the time right now which is probably a bad idea because people in multirole jets keep taking all my kills. That is until there are a number of targets in a small area, in which case the very low stall speed and comparatively high armour of the Su-25 lets me keep a small area clear until all the enemies stop respawning, while other planes have to hit targets in several runs.

At the moment I'm working towards the Japanese attacker (I think it's the F2A, the one before the F117), I've hit a dead end on the F14 because I don't want to keep saving the 75k or whatever it costs as I have other things to buy...

 

[Bobert power]

I know right?


I'm still out to get the Golden Moby Dick (AKA Moby dick Pursuit III), and I'm still to get the Su-35, thankfully though I set-up a rather decent Mig-29 and I'm MVP nearly every match. The path of T-50 is indeed the most arduous one.

I like the way you think as everyone always goes toward that F-22A. I have yet to get to the Su-35, but i need it to replace my F-14. The T-50 for me is pure brilliance.

I desperately need to replace my F-14 and I too am working towards my own lovely Russian fighter.

However I can't help but think that Project Aces are a little bit biased towards the F-22. I mean really, off the shelf stats show the F-22 is better (par exemple: 108 bullets vs 343, seriously?). Then looking at the leveling costs, the T-50 is slightly more expensive to raise, not to mention you have to buy a brand new plane before you can buy the T-50.

But I shall persevere, 'cause let's be honest, if anyone tells you they don't like the PAK-FA, they're lying.

How did you get it to Level 10 so quick? Were you buying all the contracts and stocked fuels off PSN?
I wish all my jets were level 10 and I already had bought everything I've unlocked so far, but I can't get nearly that kind of credits.

I have a stack of contracts I'm going through, and I keep using the F/A-18F. I bought a 60 pack of fuel a week and a half ago when it was discounted, and I still have 87 left because of challenges and drops.

Bust out the Su-25 for the Alps mission. So many ground targets available and enough fighters to keep the multiroles and fighters busy.

It's pretty embarrassing... when a CPU is beating you to all the kills. Seriously this thing almost got 20,000 points! Not enough to surpass me but apparently was for others. Just never seen that before.

That happens on a case to case basis.

AI plays with the F-18, in battles involving naval units they get the upper-hand because they go after those targets that give them good points, if everyone is scattered enough and there are not enough air/Naval/ground targets ratios the AI will find itself in such situation.



Pretty much the reason I avoid attackers like a plague as of now, a good fighter will always have at least 28k+ points secured because the air targets are laid out that way.

 

[Paulie]

Haha really? I've never seen an AI score above 10,000.

 

[Revoy]

Oh trust me, CPUs can get well up in the 25k+. I've had my fair share of kills being stolen by them. And it's equally annoying knowing that that kill will go down the toilet because no real life person will benefit from it; individually at least.

As for attackers, I haven't used my A-10 in ages, and unfortunately, my F-14 is useless. I decided to stick with the F-15E, it does everything and everything. Level 3 and all the stats are better than my level 5 fighter.

So as for my newest figher, I am literally the same distance away from unlocking both the F-22 & the T-50. It's basically a race to see which route decides to unlock faster to be honest.

Now you may say well that's pretty expensive. But leveling up parts at this stage takes so long at times, you accumulate enough money to just buy them all when they're available.

 

[Bobert power]

Ran out of fuel last night, bummer.
I'm still on level 5 with my F-14A since the level 6 upgrade is 339,200 points!
I'm really desperate for the PAK-FA at this rate.

 

[Frizbe]

I am convinced they are not giving out the ZP I have flown everyday since they announced it (minus maybe 3) and still don't have the thing.

It's down to sheer luck. Just keep flying and don't worry about it.

Now my ranking for this mini tourny is like 5679, and I started at like 24000 something like 2 hours ago. And I just realized I'd much rather have the airplane and special weapons research report x5 instead of a skin of an aircraft I rarely if ever use. So it would be really nice of you guys if you can log on and start owning the skies and knock me down below rank 10,000 and that would be greeeeaaaaaaat.

Why Project Aces won't just make the rewards cumulative perplexes me though.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I actually just got mine 2 days ago. Here I was thinking the drop was over but surprise! I guess it's just that rare.

 

[Revoy]

@sumbrownkid I keep telling myself that over and over again. I would much rather those research rewards; you cannot go wrong with them. I suppose the 75,000 credits is okay, but what are we really supposed to do with a paint job? It makes little sense if it doesn't give us a tactical advantage over the opponent...Big Boss said it best .

 

[sumbrownkid]

@Revoy: +5 billion points for referencing Big Boss.

Guess I'll just have to not play the game for like a day or two...

 

[Paulie]

I've decided to try and upgrade my F-16C and F-4E to Lv.5, mainly because they'll be the cheapest to do it with, and also because they give you a free Lv.5 to Lv.6 upgrade reward for having 3 jets on Lv.5. Upgrading an F-4E and F-16C must be cheaper than the Lv.6 upgrade on a Super Hornet.
Edit: It will be about 25% of the cost of Lv.6 on a Super Hornet.
Edit 2: Not 25%, 50%. It's $396k to upgrade an F/A-18F to Lv.6 but only $193,200 to upgrade both the F-4E and F-16C to Lv.5.

I'm sorry, I didn't do much owning. I'm saving my stocked fuels for the weekend or something, I did 4 sorties tonight and got to ~20k in the rankings.

I had the same problem for a while, thought it was glitching then BAM!


Edit: Why the hell is the ADFX-01 so expensive to upgrade? It's a good-for-nothing pile of 🤬.

 

[sumbrownkid]

@Paulie: Damn it man stop scrubbing it up!

 

[Frizbe]

Finally got the ZP.... But now my F14 is so much better I'm not sure I want to use it

If I ever make an F-14 set it'll have to be the Wardog, except we can't have it yet.

 

[sumbrownkid]

Mission Success! I dropped to rank 15475!

Those research reports shall be mine!

 

[Downhill Dino]

I like the song that plays on the Dubai mission.

Also finally hit First Leuitenant!

Hey guys, I'm just starting out on the Ace Combat games and Infinity is my first one!

Do you guys know any tips to be good in this game?

"Welcome to the [virtual] world of fighter pilots"

There's not much to it apart from practise really. Beyond that you have to figure out what you want to acheive with the game and whether or not you're willing to spend any money on gameplay.

I just bought the F-16C(?), is it a good choice?

Use the airbrake to turn faster, only fire missiles when you're behind your target (if they're flying across you you will probably miss), use the machine gun when possible, especially for ground targets as it may be the difference between a kill in one pass or having to make another/someone else finishing the job. You'll start to get the hang of how much it takes to kill different targets though.

Most definitely, it leads down the Multirole jet development path for the most part, and multiroles can do a lot of damage. Fighters are also good, I don't care much for Attackers but people make them work somehow.

Thanks @Paulie. The only thing that slows down my advance through the game is the fuels that you need for sorties.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I tried buying the unlimited contract but couldn't.. Do I have to purchase it directly from PSN store?

When you click purchase, it should open up PS Store I think.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

It says there's nothing to purchase for me.. Could be because I Dl'd the game from US store and play it on euro account.. x3

I think that would be it. From the other games i have played any DLC needs to come from the same region and the game ie you would have to buy the ticket with a US account
