Ace Combat: Infinity

[ibnumgt1]

New naval and ground emergency strike missions? Nice.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Well I guess it'll really be in my best interest to get a Multirole going now.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Oh my ... TT, if I didn't know better, I would believe that you were calling the said gentleman a b.....rd???

Back from 17 days of vacation. Hope to meet you soon.

Added to banned user list for going on holiday when there's serious gaming to be done. Hope you had a good one. 👍

RIP Moby Dick. I never did get to see MD3.

Still no Rafale. I spent 3 fuels this morning on one mission and we only got a B grade and I got 1200 credits. Three times.

I honestly don't think I'm going to get that plane now.

@Louie_Schumii congratulations for your MDPIII.
I tried again yesterday, burnt my last painstakingly hard-earned stocked fuel units and no MDPIII (and no related golden whale hunter emblem) and, of course, no Rafale either.
Now I'm out of fuel and, after countless sorties, no MDPIII, no Rafale.
Next week and the week after, I'll be off on holiday, out for a well deserved rest, far from these raging skies.

Hope we will fly again together in September. And maybe in the meantime you will have got the most-desired Rafale.

It could be worse guys, you could encounter a MDP III while in a lobby with total hacks and only get a C grade or what ever it was I got.

@Paulie, haven't you got any other attacker than the Su-24 Fencer? This thing just flies like a brick. Even the F4G Wild Weasel is better than the Su-24. There are much better attackers out there, starting with the F-2A or the F-117A Nighthawk for instance. The latter is cheap and its GPBs can do a lot of damage when properly used.

I didn't have either the F-2A or F-117A, I most certainly would have used them (even though the Su-24 reminds me of an F-111C which was the jet of the Australian air force for decades until recently). I wouldn't have thought the F-4G was better, I didn't use it.


Edit: Just noticed, the F-15J is new in that video, it wasn't in the first one.👍 I like the look of those new emergency strikes.

Question time! Does anyone have a jet capable of killing high tier enemy jets like the F-22, F-35 and T-50 with 1 missile? And what do you all consider the best air-to-ground weapon? I've been rolling with the 4AGM in my F-35 which are easy to use and effective, just wondering if you consider something else better?

To kill high tier enemy jets with just 1 missile, I think you need... a fully upgraded high tier aircraft. Which means lots of credits and research...

Well, the F-4G is not really better than the Su-24, at least it flies much better than the "brick" Su-24.
Anyway, those lower tier aircraft need to be upgraded to level 4 or 5 at least before they become really useful.

For air-to-ground weapons, well it depends on the targets: LASMs/LAGMs are the best for heavily armoured targets (large ships, hardened buildings such as fortresss, missile carrier silos, etc.), while 4AGMs are extremely efficient for numerous clustered targets (4AGMs are my favorite air-to-ground weapon).
Then FAEBs or SODs could be useful too, but they have little destructive power at lower levels.

FAEBs wreck havoc on MDP. You can use it to clear out the engines or the AA/Flak guns.


Am I the only guy here who has the MDIII emblem and nickname?

I have it as well.

Well, I guess the FAEBs need to be seriously upgraded. Mine are still level 1 and they are poorly efficient... Anyway, I don't use FAEBs, nor do I use the Warthog to drop them.

You lucky guy, you got the MDPIII.

I have it as well.

Bis repetita...

I never saw the MDPIII, and now it's too late. I had many MDPI and a few MDPII (about a dozen, not more), and I started playing right from the beginning...

 

[Downhill Dino]

That's a shame, you're missing out on the lasers man! Hope you get to see Stonehenge III this time around.

 

[mistapanther]

If the MP follows the same rules as the SP stonehenge expect to be 1HKO outta the skies from explosive shockwaves. Infact SHIII, i expect, will be LASERS AND EXPLOSIONS.... ahem.. So you know, it should be epic. Oh, the points people get based on the trailer also mean there should be ALOT of targets.

 

[sumbrownkid]

It's stupid that they made the SU-33 into a fighter when it should have been a multirole on the same page as the Super Hornet or Strike Eagle. Yes it's officially listed as fleet defense interceptor by Sukhoi, but the bird can do some tactical pooping on ground targets. More than enough excuse to make it a multirole.

Really don't get why they did that. This update is too fighter heavy. Give some more attackers, especially in light of Stone Henge as the new emergency sortie.

 

[Bobert power]

I don't see why they're adding the F-14D. Will it be slightly better than A? The main things about the D are just a glass canopy, different nozzles, and modern avionics.

 

[Downhill Dino]

The update came in at over 1 GB. Download for preparation when maintenance is over!

Good to know, thanks for the info.
I'll launch the download tonight, as my connection is not very fast and it may take some time.

 

[sumbrownkid]

Got the update.

B7R is really fun, fast, and again short. But it's by far the most fun of all campaign missions so far. Really hyped for mission 8 "Bunker Shot"

In other news, the low tier to mid tier aircraft got level cap boost to level 15. Guess Namco wants to give these aircraft a fighting chance against leveled up end tier aircraft. 👍 A little bummed that my Super Hornet didn't make the cut, then again I got enough wins and MVPs out of it that it's not really needed.

Still don't see why the F-15J is added.

 

[Bobert power]

Update is nice, including that anti stealth radar, which i plan to buy. Once again i shall ask, why so many Flankers? What makes the F-14D special? The research is now done by decimals now annoyingly. We also have a sea and air strike emergency sortie along with Stonehenge.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Wait, the new update is out?!

The level cap is now 15?
Hell, this will mean lots of credits and research to upgrade all aircraft. Now I see why it's called "Infinity"...

Other questions...
Have they increased the payouts?
And, are there some new fuel rewarding challenges?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Did one mission this morning, at the new special mission. It was complicated. We got a B.

No mention of the Rafale being available now either, just a gold F16, for which there is a mission to get which there bloody well should have been for the Rafale. I am not happy. I so wanted that plane in that colour with that picture on it.

 

[Paulie]

Just started the update, expecting it to take 3-4hrs.

 

[Tired Tyres]

^ My update started and finished whilst I was eating breakfast.

 

[ibnumgt1]

I'm going to update my game tonight. The estimated time to download would be like one hour. (Damn)

 

[Paulie]

The damn thing had an error 1.5hrs in, I'm going to have to start all over again.

 

[mistapanther]

I can't to hear how many times you all get shot down in SH =}

 

[gt4viper]

I sure got my butt handed to me, sheesh... Stonehenge blew my F16 to bits at least 5 times. Still managed to get an A rating though
(Largely my teammates though)

 

[Paulie]

Alrighty then. Found out my interwebs were in fact mis-behaving so I rebooted it and did the download in under an hour. Has anyone else noticed the cost to sortie in an aircraft has practically doubled now? It seems to take in to account aircraft level and parts fitted. Cash takes long enough to earn in this game.👎

 

[LJP64]

Downloading the update took me 24 minutes yesterday... My internet connection is rather slow (6.5 megabits/sec) but fortunately it is extremely stable.

I can't to hear how many times you all get shot down in SH =}

Finally, maybe I had a good idea when I installed the large fire extinguisher on my Su-34 Fullback and my Su-47 Berkut...

 

[Vitocorp]

I found my 6MAA (typhoon) extremely lethal after the update, anyone else?
The damage doesn't seem changed but it looks much much faster than before (the fighter is equipped with damage mod M and speed mod M for special weapons, but it's exactly the same set I was using before the update)

 

[Tired Tyres]

My Mirage got shot down three times. That reminded me of what used to happen with it when it was level 1 on Moby Dicks. No wonder they raised the level cap.
