Yes. Some of them (like the one in the Ace Combat 7 trailer) shoot out a ton of UAVs which make manoeuvres not possible with a human pilot, but have very low health.

Wing Commander, essentially. Arcade flight sim.
Same thing I thought.

They usually work out by flying around them, taking out weak spots, engaging dogfights ect. I love the AC gameplay. It's great.

Flight sims will benefit greatly from VR. Being able to look all around will really help with alleviating disorientation and tracking your enemies. At least, in theory...I've never actually used VR.
Well, being able to look out the side of a fighter jet's cockpit while dogfighting as an enemy jet buzzes by is one of my lifelong dreams. I hope they get it right.

I hope this is good. Only thing I want more are HD versions of Zero, 4, and 5.
It was actually great, for a free to play game. It played almost identically to 4/5/Zero/6, and had various stages with iconic bosses from the Strangereal universe, but set in the real world. Stuff like the Stonehenge superweapon was in the game.
It was really fun, but of course it was an online-focused F2P title.

That BF3 mission was on-rails BS and you didn't pilot shit. But goddamn did DICE absolutely nail the aesthetics, and basically demonstrate how to bring a cockpit and dogfight to life. Combine their visuals/sound with the Ace Combat flight model, I might never leave my house again.
Hahaha, I freaking loved that game/sim.

Like I needed another reason to jump aboard the VR train.
But here we are.

They're based on stealthy weapon pods being developed for a stealthy variant of the F/A-18 Super Hornet
But yeah, fighters in Ace Combat keep hundreds of missiles in hammerspace, so why not just use the F-22's internal weapons bay that they lovingly animated in Assault Horizon/Infinity

They've actually done a good job in every game to make "your" country feel like America and the enemies country to feel like Soviet Russia, in the same way that people are more loyal to the country they're born in, despite objective reality.

I just realized, that Su-30 is flying with an empty rear seat.

That is some interesting details.
i would be down with that... otherwise, PSVR makes this a must buy for me... too bad it seems so far away.

I loved the plot in AC3. Very beautifully told as well. I didn't care to follow the plot in the other games though.

Cannot. Freaking. Wait. Been way too long since AC6, I need me some proper AC.

Hopefully it'll be made available later for other platforms, pc in particular. I am hoping the same for a remaster of the old ones.
I'd imagine PC yes possibly, but console exclusive to PS4.

Todd Howard co developing this it seems lol
I remember being blown away seeing the Famitsu screens of Ace Combat 6
The AC6 announcement & reveal came about 2 years, 4 months after Xbox 360 itself was released. [November 2005 ----> March 2007].

This so much. I just recently pulled my PS2 out and replayed them all. So good.

Said is if there's even the slightest bit of agreement about this among AC players. lol

AC6 was my betrayalton of last-gen. :|
I'm not really familiar with the stealthy variant of the F/A-18 Super Hornet, but managed to find this:
Man, the F/A-18 Hornet in general has to be one of the most evolved fighter platforms ever. It all began with Northrops YF-17 Cobra, the plane that competed with General Dynamics YF-16 for the Lightweight Fighter program in the 1970s. A plane the USAF wanted to supplement the high-end F-15 with. The YF-16 won, and became the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
YF-16
YF-17 Cobra
The YF-17 Cobra was evolved for the Naval Fighter Attack Experimental / VFAX, which became the F-18 / F/A-18 Hornet in the mid 1980s.
In a nutshell, the loser of the Air Force's Lightweight Fighter program, the YF-17 Cobra, became the Navy's new F/A=18 Hormet to supplement the F-14, and replace several older planes. The Navy sure had a potent mix of F-14 Tomcats, A-6 Intruders and F/A-18 Hornets, forming the core of our carrier air wings for the carrier battle groups.
The Hornet evolved from the F/A-18A to the F/A-18C (which the Blue Angels still use), then to the F/A-18D for the U.S. Marines with night capabilities. Then from a set of specifications called "Hornet 2000", the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet came about. And also the EA-18G Growler. I'm sure I'm missing some.
I haven't kept up with Hornet developments since. That stealthy Hornet looks great. I'm sure it would be a far better alternative to the joke that is the F-35.
Opps, going too far off-topic lol.

I'll back this up. 5 is the best in the series, though the other two listed are also fantastic.

Yeah that one didn't sit well with me at all. Had always been a multi-console gamer, but had the worst luck with 360 (only box to ever die on me) and went through 4 of them. Swore off the thing, which turned out to be right around when they got more reliable... and soon after, they secured Ace Combat. So yeah, that sucked.
for those who were mindblown by Ace Combat 6 on 360... many of us have been mindblowned since Ace Combat 2...then Ace Combat 3, then 4, then 5, then zero...you get the idea. They always held their own weight against the heavy hitters who pushed out graphics... like the Gran Turismo series.
it was one of the MAIN reasons I was excited to get a PS3.... couldn't wait to see what the NAMCO Team could do with that machine...
it turned out that I indeed had to wait...lol.

I wouldn't know about that as I don't frequent the AC community, however 5 is the best combination of gameplay and story. 0 has better gameplay thanks to superior enemy pilot AI but the story, barring an excellent finale, is not as consistently engaging as 5, and 4 upon replay really just seems like a prototype for 5.
