Just finished flying a few rounds and I really want the SR71 added. Its my favorite plane and I know its beyond useless (even more so that my other favorite the F117) but I just want to fly it around the training grounds for a while (and if they'd remover that freaking 5 minute limit....)
 
Why do I get the feeling this game will start making special gear like that which is coming more and more hard to get for the average gamer?

To get the Wardog F-14 I should have quit my job and bought as much fuel as possible from PSN...

I'm afraid of this too.
And the worst thing about these games is when the servers will be closed, you will loose EVERYTHING you paid and worked for. So I'll stick to the free game.
 
My biggest problem/fear with this incoming TDM mode is that it ends up being a whole lot of pub stomping. Even if you're matched with similar "levels" the ones with the best planes are going to win. At least in the missions you can hold your own if you've got the right type of plane and focus on the targets you know you can destroy easily. For the most part at least. Sometimes you get those wide spectrum rooms with that one guy who's 300+ points above the room average.

TDM never really works in AC because it just devolves into round the robin circling with QAAMs or SAAMs being spammed everywhere.

Until AC actually makes regular missiles harder to break, then it will just continue to be round the circle we go.

ACAH attempted to fix that with that abomination called DFM or whatever it was and that ended up killing any skill required to down the opponent. That, and it was very easy to abuse it and cause someone to crash into the ground.

I hope Project Aces does not make upgrades possible in TDM, but only allows for accumulation of credits.

Btw I'm really loving the Osea roundel. :embarrassed: STRANGEREAL MURICA FOR THE WIN. :D
 
I might give TDM a shot, but don't count on it being any good. At least we're getting NASA's F-15 with thrust vectoring and the Saab Gripen, and the Su-47 Berkut. I've got a feeling everyone is going to go after the Berkut and the F-15, rather than the highly underated Saab. I love Saab aerospace just because no one pays attention to them. Anyhow, i bet these jets will be in some Table flipping rare drop or paid DLC. Let's hope we don't have to pay for planes just so Bamco can get more monies!
 
Anyone else want one of these for the game?

I wonder if they'll start making them again after how popular Infinity is becoming.

That's a fair point, actually. Namco also published the free to play Ridge Racer Driftopia, that's only been around since September last year and is shutting down next month. So if AC:I doesn't do well...

I think ACI is actually doing much better than Ridge Racer.

Ridge Racer just sorta...died during the PS2 gen.

Haha I agree purely based on the fact I loved RR back in the day and had no idea there was a FtP one.

That is true, when I tried Driftopia it seemed to actually want to do everything it could to prevent me from playing, then when I finally did get into it, it sucked! Ridge Racer was dead after Type 4 as far as I'm concerned, though I can't recall playing it on PS2.
 
I got it a couple of days ago after getting the camo for the F-2, did'nt had a chance to fly it yet. I really thought that it will take forever to get it. It's just random I guess. Its cost... 160.000 Cr. (I may be mistaken).

What's up with the pixelated badges though? Are they are tribute to something? I got a couple.

Xevious.
 
I didn't get the Morgan yet today either, but I did unlock the Medium grade missile homing. So now, with the Medium power, speed and homing effects on my regular missiles, my F-35 can dish out a whole bunch of punishment. I also got my F-35 to Lv.2 today but haven't flown it yet in that guise. Can't wait for that next ranking event, I'm going to use up my 30-odd stocked fuels in forced sorties.

Has anyone ever used the stealth upgrade/s? It says it upgrades the damage you dish out, does it really improve your offensive power?
 
Decided to try out an "Attacker" aircraft. I chose to use the F-2A and it wasn't the best experience. So slow and felt heavy. Then again that's what I get after flying the MiG-29. Managed just over 30000 points with it to my surprise as I just wasn't fast enough to get anything whilst my locks were stolen from me. I think I'll keep trying to use it every now and then as it was sort of fun.

Wait until the A10. You'll easily break 30K with just it's cannon.
 
Oh how did the A10 slip my mind! It was awesome back in the beta! Will have to give that a shot as well down the line.
 
I think the attacker's greatest strength is the very low stall speed. You can fly over a group of targets and hit all of them at close range - even with the cannon - when other classes have to make a couple of passes, so on certain maps when enemies respawn after you clear an area you can keep it clear in a short space of time while other people are making passes, getting maybe two kills per pass (that is if you're not able to keep everything dead) while you kill maybe five, six or more while they're turning around. Sure, you might take a couple of hits, but even the SU-25TM has decent enough armour to take a few missiles. I can't even imagine what the A-10 is like.

Does anyone know if kills you get after the time is up count towards your score? I make a point of attempting to gun down the nearest enemy in that brief window since they just start flying level. I'm pretty sure they register - I often get the award for killing the last enemy in a sortie, but I don't know if it's just a coincidence - but I don't know if they count.
 
Upgrading your aircraft to level 6 counts as a non-standard upgrade. F-16C upgrade costs 288.000 Cr. It adds additional upgrade slots for parts.

And here are some nicknames that you can get after upgrading your aircraft to level 3.

F-4E Phantom II -"Phantom Rider"
F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel -"Wild Weasel"
F-16C Fighting Falcon -"Falcon"
Mig-21 bis -"Balalaika"
F-14A Tomcat -"Cat's Eyes"
AV-8B Harrier II Plus -"Harrier Pilot"
Mirage 2000-5 -"Delta Wing Crazy"
Su-25TM Frogfoot -"Sturmovik"
A-10A Rhunderbolt II -"A-10 Maniac"
ADFX-01 Block 1 Morgan -"Blazing Light"
 
My issue with bombers is that most ground targets are not worth a lot and some need special positioning to attack like in Tokyo with all the buildings which all goes towards a low score. I like Multiroles for the most part, demolish all the high scoring targets in the air which are never obscured by buildings and get the opportunistic/necessary kills on the ground with relative ease.

In other news, I got the ADFX-01 Morgan!!:dopey: I tried it out with my last sortie of the night and perhaps due to a little fatigue I flew like crap, only scored 30k and ran in to the ground.:lol: Never the less, I could tell the potential was there, but the TLS is still essentially crap. The special weapon it gets at level 4 will probably be unreal, can't wait to get it. Also, the initial purchase cost was only $32k.
