Ace Combat: Infinity

[Vitocorp]

I bet my fuel this one will be a 2 weeks long tournament.

Battleship Yamato collaboration event

 

[Paulie]

Probably in this update they will rise last aircrafts (top tiers like F-22 and ASF-X) max levels up to 15 and in the next the special planes. Or directly both right now.

I only saw a single SH2 and 2 SH1 after the SH3.

Waiting to see if they put something really good in the main tree or they rebuff a bit LAGM, otherwise I will start to upgrade Rafale M -VA- and LASM.

I hope they never give the top tiers 15 levels, it gives the lower tier jets a chance to be competitive.

 

[Flaren89]

Technically, there are ppl pointing on that they will make a "level scaling" starting from max 10 for future top tiers (850 base Cst at lv1) up to lv30 for low tiers like F-4E Phantom II.
I hope it is not true...

 

[Paulie]

I think it'd be good if any jet can be competitive, so long as it's expensive to make the lower jets get up there.
Is there anything new coming in this update?

 

[Flaren89]

Nothing more than the 2 images posted from Vitocorp above at the moment.

EDIT: From another forum: "Twitter says they're opening a new ingame shop where you can buy skins/emblems/nicknames/instant radio messages/fuel in exchange for tickets that you can get from daily log in bonuses/challenges/random drops. Probably going to be able to buy them with real money too."

 

[Paulie]

The update is now available for download and is only 541 MB (smaller than previous updates?).

WAT.



jeez I hope we will not be able to buy past SP aircraft or tournament emblems, that would make all my previous efforts pointless
It's both a GREAT thing and a BAD thing

From GameFAQs, 2 quotes from Twitter:

OLDER:

"ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 46m 46 minutes ago

"Special payment ticket" will be implemented from the update of tomorrow (12/4). This ticket, depending on the number, aircraft and skins, emblem, street, simple radio message, will be able to exchange such as the stockpile fuel. << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF

ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 43M 43 minutes ago

Items that can be replaced, you can check in there on a hanger in the menu "special payment Catalog". It should be noted that "special payment Catalog" is also a place to exchange. << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF

ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 41M 41 minutes ago

"Special payment ticket" login bonus and drop reward, you can win in a variety of ways such as challenge reward. << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF

ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 20 m 20 minutes ago

New items entering the hand only in exchange for "special payment ticket" also offers course. Little Bakashi the first-out ... << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF

ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 8M 8 minutes ago

It is a "slow!" And likely to receive a rebuked, but will be distributed "Kiri number reward" than the next ranking event. By the way, "7650 place" also is one of the Kiri number. << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF"

NEWER:

ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 27s 27 seconds ago

Since there is also such as adding or additional mission of the aircraft, please stay tuned tomorrow's update. ........ New category "BOMBER"? << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF

ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 7M 7 minutes ago

And "special payment ticket" of earlier in [small update information] login bonus reward, consumption items such as research reports, contracts, will add only emblem. << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF
0 replies 17 retweets 7 favorites
ACE COMBAT @ PROJECT_ACES - 12M 12 minutes ago

Upper limit of [small update information] simple radio message is extended from 7 to 12 << Koyanagi >> # ACEINF"

CONCLUSION:

So, new category: Bomber, from Assault Horizon. Probably they will be a higher damage and aoe version of Attackers but much slower and heavy.

 

[Flaren89]

At this moment, it seems that the patch is already downloadable, it's 541MB. But as always I'll wait till tomorrow when official game servers comes up again.

 

[Louie_Schumii]

Wow

 

[Vitocorp]

UPEO Su-37 Rena Hirose at the end of the video

 

[Flaren89]

New Co-op:
Area B7R

New planes:
X-29A - Fighter
F-16XL - Attacker
FB-22 - Attacker
B-2A - Bomber
B-1B - Bomber

UPEO skin for the Su-37

In synthesis, the update content.

 

[Louie_Schumii]

I really like all the new planes in the update trailer. What am I gonna do with my life...gonna play ACI all day everyday T___T.

Realistically speaking if I do shell out in game credits for the update planes I'd go for the real life legacy aircraft. Probably B-1 or B-2 depending on their stats and cost. I'd also wait for some whale to get it up to level 10 before making up my mind .

 

[Flaren89]

This update can make a huge earthquake on my plane list. For my 19 planes list (20th is random):

Gonna kick off F-2A from the list (still lv1) if F-16XL comes with UGB. F-2A is built from F-16C project and modified just to adapt at Japan defence system. Attacker for Attacker, I would prefer something stange, the XL.

X-29 attracts me, I used it sometimes in AC2 and the negative arrow wings design is nice, I don't have Berkut on the list. But As I don't want doubles on special weapons, I may have to kick out another plane for that, in case.

FB-22, I don't like.

Bombers I would go for B-2. To have a place for it, I probably would kick out Su-25 and MiG-21 bis which use MGP and SAAM respectively, 2 special weapons that nobody uses.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Wow

Atleast I got a chance to pilot a B-1B Lancer in this game. I don't have AH at all.

P.S: There's something that made me chuckle in the URL of the trailer you posted, @Louie_Schumii. These got my attention:

"5exy-cFAs"

 

[Flaren89]

Maybe another leak, CFA-44 coming this month

 

[Paulie]

Interesting update for sure! Kind of makes Attackers useless since Attackers are already useless against aerial foes, and if Bombers are just a better air-ground category.....you get my point.

 

[Flaren89]

They may be available only on raid missions like StoneHenge or Naval Fleet Assault.
And still, if they can be used on co-op maybe they are really slow and cannot turn, so that balances the fact that they can wipe out everything with a single bomb.

 

[Louie_Schumii]

For those who don't know yet:

• Bomber branch is right at the bottom of the aircraft tree (branches out from F-4G).
  
• Requires First Lt. rank to start research on first part in the tree.
• B-1B Lancer is two parts away from F-4G and costs 648,000.

Some interesting parts after the B-1 as well (UGB power L and Cockpit Armor LL).

 

[ibnumgt1]

X-29A costs 377k. The price is dear but it's worth it. (For me of course )

Tokyo Martial Law (HARD) has been added along with Area B7R Dogfight Co-op mission. The setting of the Tokyo mission looks kinda similar from Mission 5 a.k.a Far East Front. Perhaps we could find Reaper in there?

 

[Paulie]

WOW!!!! That B-2A will be an absolute beast! Bombers don't come with any missiles or machine guns, a modified GPB is their primary weapon, and special weapons are your choice of Modified Unguided Bomb and Modified Stand off Dispenser. I think I'm going to have to buy the increased aircraft slots available for this game, and now I regret spending cash on upgrading a Su-47 to Lv.5 but really glad I didn't spend my 5-6 research report. I have a feeling the Bombers will be heaps of fun, trundling slowly along annhilating EVERYTHING in your path haha.

You made me regret buying the X-29A instead of conducting research on the bomber branch. Thanks a lot man.

 

[Louie_Schumii]

Those who had plans on having a bomber aircraft should prepare their shekels. A lot of shekels. This is for the B-2's first 3 levels.

 

[Paulie]

🤬 WHOAA!!!!!!! That's expensive. I get the impression it will still be pretty good at level 1, but still, $3mil just to buy the thing in the first place. I'm going to keep upgrading my YF-23 for the time being, the new Area B7R co-op mission is showing me how pathetic my air-to-air capabilities are, I've had a 2000+MR for some weeks now, but I'm repetitively getting shown up by guys hundreds lower than me in that mission.

Has anyone done the new HARD Tokyo mission? Are payouts increased? How hard was it, what rank did you get with how many players of roughly what skill level?

 

[Vitocorp]

MVP in Tokyo (Hard) 4 players but rank C.
Damage and healt increased, almost shot down by a SINGLE missile, got screwed by the Scinfaxi AA.
payout seems slightly increased

 

[Flaren89]

lv10 B-2A got S+++ Defence without parts

Tokyo (Hard) seems to have a 4th phase after the regular finish one.

 

[Vitocorp]

A guy reported that he can't one shot MiG-29 using a Garuda equipped with LVL 5 6AAM and L damage part on Tokyo H!
Sounds pretty strange to me.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Odd, I shot down a Rafale M on Tokyo Hard using 2 regular missiles.

Anyways, I take back my words on what I said about the X-29A, it got a superb maneuverability. It's fun to use that little guy.

 

[Vitocorp]

Today I've got a Moby dick 1 (so happy to see that giant thing again).
<Delay the final attack!> message at the beginning.
After cleaning all the targets up here (I was focused on enemy fighters rather than Moby dick engines) only the cockpit left and another <Delay the final attack> from another player.
I swear to God the radar was clear and I've done a 360° to make sure no one was still fliyng so I've launched all my 6AAM at the cockpit.
A rank.
f:censored:k.


On the other side, 69K points on B7R area in a 4 player room (1,9K MR), won by 10K points against my teammate, great job with his YF-23, both using the Grunder emblem
1,2K raning pts.

 

[Louie_Schumii]

May have been a glitch or stealth aircraft? Game has just been patched so I'd lean towards the special raid glitching. Have also started hunting for level 4 special raids. Need the money now more than ever .

New co-op missions are also very nice. Enjoy B7R very much because I can now sortie and be competitive in fighters again. Tokyo Hard is virtually impossible with anything less than 8 players unless everyone is highly skilled amd coordinated.
