Not the Fenrir, there is just no way, that plane is so ridiculously OP there is nothing that even comes close to it in the Ace Combat universe.

You can buy the single player unlimited pass which also unlocks 20 stocked fuel from finishing one of the challenges.
Honestly I'm downing in fuel, if you scroll up to one of my earlier posts I started with 33 fuel from the 10 free ones you get from checking your notifications and 20 from finishing the campaign and I did about 18 or so online missions and I'm still at 29 fuel.
Fuel might be a problem if you plan on playing 10 hours a day? But for some one who will probably only play a couple of hours a night I can see myself being fine for a loonnng while.
Man, that's been a long time. I loved AC6 so I want to check this out, even though the wait2play system is very offputting. Has anyone here ever coughed up cash to play energy system f2p games? For me that's always been the games way of telling me I'm done for the day.

You can unlock fuel tickets by completing challenging its really easy to get i have over 15 staked fuel tickets and i just started playing.
Just go to the Challenges tab and activate the challenges you feel you can finish, they vary from using the search function to find a room to getting certain amount of points in certain amount of time.

Yeah it's there, but I don't think it's unlockable, the MiG-29 is though and they're kinda similar.
http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/Ace_Combat_Infinity/Aircraft
Well, there was that X-49 in Electrosphere that would instantly destroy any aircraft that came into visual range (had the lock on box around them, no lock on needed). But yeah, unless they severely tone down the Fenrir it's kind of OP. Makes me wonder how they'll handle the Falken's insta-death laser in this.

Considering that Fenrir can go invisible and has 2 "nukes" in its arsenal I would still consider Fenrir the most op. Anyway, I doubt the laser will do much damage or they will simply ban it from multiplayer.
So, have you found a reason to fight yet, Buddy ?

Edit: dammit i thought it was unlockable but yeah the MiG-29 should do

And again they didn't give us the Su-37 Terminator, that is just criminal.

ikr, i was skimming the tree looking for those two aircrafts and was disappointed

Considering how a lot of enemies in ACI have really ramped up health pools I think it'll be balanced fine, at most it'll be balanced by say, giving you only 2 or 3 shots with it. But if you ask me the laser is going to be a monster at sniping high priority found targets from the enemy team.
It'll probably be the best special weapon for killing the carriers.
I'll probably finish unlocking my Morgan tonight or tomorrow, so I'm really curious too. I'm also curious about how many credits it's gonna cost to purchase :S The good news is that with the unlimited campaign pass, it looks like farming the shit out of the story missions for credits is a very viable strategy.

Looking at the official site I found this:
They have the license for it. The weirld thing is that there isnt any license thing for the Sukhoi line.

Noticed a great easter egg. During debriefing for mission 4 you can see amongst the other squadrons that will work with you in the future the Silber and Antares squadron's emblems There are 6 or so more but I didn't recognize those, it didn't stay on for too long.
Update: 1st multiplayer game and MVP already, oh yeah, staying true to my reputation

This really is the Ace Combat game I've wanted for a long ass time. But now that my fuel is getting low (how are people getting so much? Even with challenges, I'm running out. Haven't seen any as drops), the ugly head of the f2p system is showing itself.
We finally get the perfect multiplayer Ace Combat game, with a campaign that feels more in line with the PS2 titles (even if it's not wholly stranereal), and they have to go and shove it all behind a horrible f2p, wait for fuel or pay for it, system.
I both love and hate this game. If they would release an unlimited fuel system for it I'd hop on, no matter the cost. As it is, however, I don't know how long I'll be able to tolerate it.

I fear for the population of the game. I hope this game will be playable for atleast half a year.

I think milking it for these first 3 months is going to be crucial to enjoying the game down the line.

Ace Combat Infinity is now the first free to play game i've spent money on. Hopefully there will be an active community for a long time.
Lol, I'll probably end up buying the elite mercs pack when I run out of stocked fuel.

Yup, first played 2 on the PS1 and played all of them since (except the 360 one)
I'll be playing this game on my US and Japanese accounts so you peeps can add me if you want (suppadoopa & suppadoopaJP) if you want to do some co-op later
Speak for yourself I love Assault Horizon and played it as many times I did the previous games

I just could not handle the boring ass helicopter missions. Things felt like they were 3 hours long.... and the camera... and the having to zoom in on almost everything to destroy it...
I bought the packs for the emblems
I think stocked fuel is going to last me for a while, now that I don't have to waste any fuel to play the campaign.Sparkedglory

I like it so far. I agree with others about 4 hours being a bit excessive. They could've implemented a much better system.

Honestly it works out pretty well, you'll be hard pressed to spend all 10 of the stocked fuel you get at the beginning too quickly.
I can see a lot of people getting bored before launching more than 50 times.

Wait, only 8 missions total? The handheld games had more effort put into them than this.
Are the graphics similar to Assault Horizon or even AC6? And if understanding this right, you paid $20 for the campaign unlock, and you were able to get everything else just playing the game? Oh and, for the $20, do get to play the campaign endless amounts of times?
Valkerionseven

I believe they are the same as AH just minus the zoom in thingy.
Yes you can unlock the campagin missions without real money, just takes time. Costs 200,000 in game credits to unlock the third mission I believe, same credit pool as your plane/upgrade funds sadly. Yes it will take a while to get to that, but not too much.
Oh I meant the unlocks that he got (the planes, the extra fuel, etc), was that just by playing the game? I plan on purchasing the $20 unlock, but was just wondering if there were anything else I needed to purchase to maximise the experience.
Thanks for the answers.

As far as I can see all vehicle unlocks come from playing Co-op missions.
The 20 dollar unlimited campaign unlock gets you infinite campaign missions, and lets you play them all without paying 200k, 300k and 400k credits to unlock the 3rd, 4th and 5th mission. It also will let you do the same with missions 6, 7 and 8 when they release.
On top of that it essentially gives you an additional 20 stocked fuel because you can just bum rush the campaign to complete the challenge associated with clearing the campaign which rewards you with 20 fuel.
Also it lets you infinitely replay the campaign without having to use stocked fuel or supplied fuel which means you can technically farm campaign missions for extra credits! Instead of having to rely on co-op for that. At least in theory, I haven't replayed a mission so I don't know if additional play troughs get you more credits or not lol.

Downloading now. How's the music?
Thank you, that's all the explanation I needed. Just bought the $20 campaign add-on, and just waiting for the game to finish downloading. Can't believe I almost passed on this game when I heard it was a f2p. People saying that it's the first real Ace Combat since AC6, has me really excited.

It's all literally remixed tracks from Ace Combat 4, 5 and 0.
So basically awesome.
judging from how the story is unfolding, the campaign is likely to be made into seasons.

Somehow I doubt such plans come to fruition.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, I played a campaign mission and used up my first three stocked fuels in online missions and I gotta say...I really like this! Perfect game to unwind with after work. Three sorties is good enough for me per work-night too. I've got unlimited play of the campaign too with the package I bought so you can call me (begrudgingly) a supporter of this model/F2P nonsense (for now!). I feel very content with the sessions I had. I even got to partake in a raid mission which was a fucking awesome battle against one of the larger boss fights from the series! Cool stuff!
What I will also say though is how I wish we could have gotten a real Ace Combat game to coincide with this one. This seems like an interesting/experimental setup here, but it's still not the AC experience I'm TRULY looking for. But still, I'm very much surprised with how solid everything looks/feels here.

I Haven't played a Ace Combat game since 3 came out on the PS1. I'm a little rusty flying but i think i'll get used to the controls soon. Surprisingly Good F2P game. I like it.
Haven't played the PS2 trilogy!? 0_0
I'd suggest flying to the nearest eBay link and ordering those games ASAP!

It's definitely pretty. Love the nostalgia trip from the music.
Jury's out on the whole F2P thing.
Why is there no versus online?

While as a core game - ACI is awesome. Music and gameplay especially. But this game needed to rip off of World of Tanks' F2P system - where you can pay to earn more credits and buy certain vehicles. Having to pay constantly to even play it is just a bad system.
