Everything Wrong With Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown 

Trigger: *Shots down entire Erusean bomber squadron in Mission 1* Knocker: “DoN’T trY tO bE a HerO.”

I was just enjoying AC7, but then this video RUINED MY CRISP WHITE SHEETS WITH ITS DIRTY DAMN BOOTS

40:55 Long Caster's stomach is so hungry for food that it branched the divide between universes and brought Italian food to Strangereal. Search your feelings, you know this is plausible.

Sly, you just forget the most important sin on AC7: Jaeger says on the last mission "cant wait to tell to my son" and survives. Isnt he supposed to be Marked for death?

The fact that the sentence at the end wasn't "Solitary" feels like a huge missed opportunity.

"Three striked aircraft? Hi, shit. Meet fan." Must not have payed attention to this. I died at this part.

Trigger: Bandog, can we get a Pixy? Bandog: No Trigger, we have Pixy at base Pixy at base: 29:04

I got ya on the sin at 43:04, the call signs are actually correct as they are. In the US Army we use the call sign number to indicate positions. The Company Commander would be Menhir 6, the First Sergeant would be Menhir 7, and the Executive Officer Menhir 5. 1, 2, and 3 would be the prefix for the platoons ie 1st platoon leader would be Menhir 16.

Clown: "Trigger its time to get wet, wild and do dirty dirty things." Me: "Hey man, what you do in your spare time is your business."

"Most powerful fleet" **laughs in SP Mission 02**

“It takes a magic trick to get into Huxian’s pants” Best line ever

I think the "ship" meant in 16:19 is the Pilgrim One, as the pilot also said that the lighthouse doubles as a harbor for it, which it did. Foreshadowing, I suppose.

In regards to the range tables for Stonehenge, even advanced modern artiller/rocket batteries require them as electonic targeting systems can and will fail on occasion and if you still need to fire at something not having range tables will be incredibly detrimental

I swear if the part where the princess says "yes" instead of hi was the result of the Japanese version saying "Hi" in english and being mistaken for "Hai" which is basically Japanese for yes, this game's production must have been a very interesting process

"Hold on just seven nuclear seconds" I couldn't help but laugh at that. Nah don't sin Clown's questionably hilarious yet stupid comment from Mission 3.

Sly sins Clown's line: *That wasn't very wet wild and dirty of you*

I think Count's line about a girl on board the C-1 is interpreted really badly because he says girl and its very broad. I think what they were going for was, there's a "little girl" on board and Count is suprised at the possiblilty that she could be a child soldier.

*Picture it!!!* *TRUE BEAUTY*

"The clouds moving in" at 27:40 might just be a phrase Sol uses to say "things aren't going very well"-- considering their squadron is named for the Sun...

1:04:12 I'm pretty sure these are separate conversations, but I like how after Tailor says "I've got plenty to pay attention to other than your dirty ass!" Huxian says "Visual." Followed by Count, who says "Like an Eagle."

1:25:00 not only is he aiming with his sights folded but he’s also got his finger on the mag release. 10/10 Air Force marksmanship Training.

I think avril’s “fingernail thing” is a tic

52:50 Mihaly was in a simulation dogfight, in that simulation he was caught in suprise while engaging the F-16 pilot. The footage was from simulation not actual footage of his encounter

Those pilots would be dead from 30 G's? Mihaly does that on a regular basis.

“The AI chose liberty over justice” that’s a hard fucking foreshadow

22:10 aaah yeah. The Jpeg Doggo 1:00:54 R.I.P Jpeg Doggo

10:08 Two sins. 1) Keep in mind, this game is rated "T" for Teen. 2) Also, scene does not contain a lapdance.

What? No "Solitary" sin counter? 4.44/10 Sentence: Immediate Solitary :P (For real though, I'm surprised you didn't include a "Solitary" counter, although I guess that would add another 30 mins alone).

52:42 This is just a hot guess, but I think he is referring to the simulator that mihaly was in when testing the new flight suit. He wasnt actually in combat, just a test.

"Hi, shit. Meet fan." How did I miss this line? It's hilarious.

If Full Band was in the secret conspiracy group that Pops, Harling and Andersen was a part of, his life would be much easier

I surprised you didn't sin/notice "I just stitching my lost limb" line from Stonehenge mission That was the most "wtf" line on AC7 for me

IUPF **War torn radiance earrape intensifies**

Ace combat 7 starring Wiseman as "Token Black Guy"

This is a COMEDY video! DLC missions coming soon! Behind-the-scenes videos are now up! More details in the description!

41:33 was the best part of this video in my opinion

also doc a sin for clever use of the music getting muffled while flying through the clouds

"DLC Coming Soon" gonna be 7 months buddy.

The reason Nagase was in space for the entirety of the game is had she been on the planet she would’ve killed every Erusean after Harling died.

1:07:40 Literally you saying NO make me think "Here we go! he probably hates the new look lol" and it just goes 180, god damnit ive never laughed so hard in my life, well done lol

About Stonehenge's firing table: those table are not a reference to Ulysses or the Continetal War, but rather to the manual fire to take down the AB.

11:19 There are no rules of engagement broken here. Only questionable orders. Telling damaged and supposedly retreating aircraft to keep engaging is pretty sketchy, but it depends on the situation. Gargoyle 1 and Brownie were certainly in damaged aircraft, but they still are valid military targets. If you fired at retreating tanks which had their turrets jammed by anti-tank fire, would that really be a war crime? It would have been wiser for Brownie to simply eject when she was cornered.

20:52 The high-ptiched scream dude is my spirit animal Especially when he scream again when you let the bombers destroyed the base along with McKinsey there

43:20 I've read about stuff like this and surprisingly in real life combat you'd experience a lot of "empty time" during a battle or even a firefight, hell I've read about a soldier getting a cup of tea from the other "in the middle of the battle". Also soldiers taking a quick breather in-between two slugfests have been a thing since antiquity. An exhausted first line is a useless first line, afterall. Also at 46:04 : Seriously? Flag, wind; has it not clicked in that there's an actual fabric flag we're talking about here? You know, the one that waves in the wind???

About a line that “Trigger and Count are only one that survives” - I’m actually think that was about Rage and Scream. Sounds more logic for me, because there are more than two pilots survived from a 444 squad. Way more.

1:21:35 I think it’s more of a symbolic gesture to get the defeat into Erusea’s wound like salt upon wounds, At Ace Combat 04, North point was used as a last stronghold against the Erusean Military & was the first of many comebacks for ISAF In the war. And signing the treaty there is like announcing to the eruseans “Hey guys remember your first defeat against us starting from North Point? Yeah? Then let’s sign it there just to irritate you a little bit more.” It’s like Hitler forcing the defeated french to sign their defeat in the same Train Carraige as the one used to announce Germany’s defeat

Gotta love how Chopper can be immortalized with his dialog.

20:00 she wouldn’t know this because the files on the razgriz weren’t released to the public yet

Why haven’t ACF commented yet for “Belka did everything wrong”

"for the sake of time not every sin could be included" *time is nearly an hour thirty*

5:15 Avril, you know erusea almost won the continental war right?

I think "Erusean space station" was actually meant to be "Erusean air and space administration", or EASA.

More VR missions

44:45: But you can. Stonehenge's control consoles are the boxes on the back end of each gun. They were targets for Mobius, so this gun should have the same thing. And the designers would have definitely included the ability to use direct fire by local control on the guns in case the main director ever went out.

1:03:33 "Three striked craft? Hi shit, meet fan"

1:36 I though it was gonna be a sin, I never understand why the camera view is pointing at that asphalt roller

21:42 I actually have a theory about this. According to Google Translate, the letter "á" in Romanian can mean "of". My guess is that the developers were using it in a similar manner to the French "du" or the German "von" when they came up with his name (Although it should be noted that, as far as I can tell, real Romanian doesn't have such a convention.) The fact that his granddaughters' names follow the same pattern supports this. Therefore, this would be yet another localization screwup. A translator probably saw the character ア by itself and just assumed that it was meant to represent an initial.

On 46:10 I believe he meant an Osean flag waving from a distance (probably from menhir) as a measurement for wind speed

17:19 I would like to point out that while Mage flies F-16 Fighting Falcons, Gargoyle is flying the F-14D Tomcat, implying that Mage is Osean Air Force and Gargoyle is Osean Navy. (I guess Golem is a Marine Corps squadron, cause they fly F-18s off a ground base? Whatever.) So the line makes a fair bit of sense, actually. (Trigger takes off from a carrier because Ace Combat) EDIT: 24:00 You have no idea. I read about a Colonel in Iraq IRL who received a Bronze Star for-wait for it-_preparing a PowerPoint presentation._ EDIT: I love how 1:03:34 requires no explanation whatsoever.

Sin #219: The range tables were probably added as a back up in case the super computers that ran the railguns during the Ulysses incident lost power, were destroyed, or malfunctioned. Seeing as the power generator for one of the guns was knocked out during the incident it's was a plausible scenario. Granted they'd be next to worthless for aiming at anything out of sight, but it would be better than nothing.

49:10 And why didn't erusia just wait until the oseans left the combat zone? They seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact there were more silos with missiles

Firing in volley is the worst way to get past the sheild. A constant barrage of random fire is the best way to get past the sheilds because it presents them from using weapons and if they can't even the sheild up 24/7 eventually some shots will Starr going through

16:25 The ship means the space ship Pilgrim 1. Also, Babel is not a callsign but a code means "attack the space elevator". Since the Arsenal Birds are powered by the elevator, it seems that Gargoyle's homeland decided to destroy it without informing the IUN or Osea.

10:19 "Fuck off, Clown." -MAX0R, Mage 2, 2019

Also the Handguns slide was locked to the rear which ment the magazine was empty when the last round was fired and forced the follower to engage the slide lock. Also it is very rare for firearms to discharge from simply being dropped

17:14 Gargoyle is OMDF, not Air Force.

"Hi shit! Meet fan!" The shit always will hit the fan when the protagonist shows up

You missed the part where Spare already ran out of ammo in Long Day after like 2 mins of mission start Also Bandoge is best AWACS uwu

“Eruseans” will always be more correct as Erusians All hail Ace Combat 04

32:49 I think he meant why are they aiming for them specifically

I know this is late but at 17:50 small correction. Originally the game had a line by George on the mission “Lighthouse” where he apologies for his mistakes to everyone on an open channel. George was the one who perfected the fake IFF to mimic Osean aircraft, and HE was the one who shot down Harling, knowing that it would be pinned on Trigger. He said that he flew away after the incident and regretted it, hoping to be forgiven. Shroder helped with the Drones, George helped with the IFF, that’s why he was guilt ridden. You can hear this dialogue on the mod “sky’s restored” (Lots of the radio dialogue cut out actually helps explain much more about the game, filling in where the cutscenes do not.)

1:10:30 That gun is empty since the slide stays back however I'd sin the fact that she was able to just take it from the prison guards holster or the fact that he very conveniently had only one bullet left

Edit: mixed up Tabloid and Count's backstories. I'm extremely late to this video, but the callsigns of Spare Squadron are really funny and rather fitting for them all, especially in an ironic context for some. The AWACS Bandog has a suitable callsign: his general disdain for the prisoners and aggressive attitude are reminescent of a guard dog's. The specific breed known as the "bandog" is known as an intelligent and ferocious one, to the point where they're banned to care for in many US states. Count's callsign refers to him being in in penal camp for identity fraud and committing larceny (probably with that fake/stolen identity). Full Band's callsign refers to full band radio, which covers a wide range of radio signals- and allows for open communication without much privacy. Of course, Full Band was put in the penal squadron for stealing government secrets... which he's terrible at keeping anyways. Tabloid is a Belkan. Apparently the stereotype is that Belkans love to push conspiracies. He's also an anarchist with no balls. High Roller's callsign refers to his gambling addiction. It's also implied that he's terrible at it. Trigger's callsign, of course, comes primarily from the event that killed Harding. Of course, he wasn't actually the murderer of Harding... But the name stuck even outside of Spare Squadron probably because he's implied to have an aggressive personality (even as the player character). Plus, he's all around a great pilot (as great as the player is, at least.)

I love how funny these are because, IMO, the actual Cinema Sins haven’t been this funny in a long time.

16:30 I think this part could have been explained better, but when they say "They won't be able to get home" They are referring to the space craft that Nagase is on, destroy it, and they're stuck in space.

1:23:50 i knew that you would throw something related to pixy in here

Several things I'd like to point out 45:10 the ranging table is a back up plan in case the automatic targeting system fails, or course when shooting Mobius 1 the automatic targeting system didn't fail so they don't have to use that ranging table 47:03 you can see the rail gun trying to track the bird's predicted trejectory automatically, so the automatic targeting system didn't fail after all, then why was ranging table a thing you need to know? 51:20 US Military's standard individual MRE has a menu 23 literally called "Pepperoni Pizza Slice", and as the name implies, it contains a big slice of pizza. As usual for these Military grade MRE, all you need to heat it up is water, sure it doesn't taste as good as freshly baked pizza but it is still pizza. It is also possible that the commando team just have a cooler on thier helicopter with some frozen pizza sitting inside, and they can heat those up with the kitchen at the base they just ceased, because surely there's at least one oven at that base

22:12 the dog should've sent the sin count into the negatives

29:44 something similar happened on British Airways Flight 9. Volcano blew up, caused tons of debris to get into the intakes and turn into volcanic slag, lava in the engines if you will. They lost power to all 4 engines until they got out of that cloud, and flying through the debris had basically rubbed sandpaper on their windows. Not fun.

20:43 If you leave the operation airspace during landing, he tells Spare Squadron to kill you. But yeah it’s sad we don’t get a secret mission.

8:27 Extra sin: Why was the plane parked on the grass?

I (of course) can't find anything about it now, but I remember learning from somewhere that when it comes to royal names like that, the "A." stands for some non-English word that means "of" or "from", and the kingdom they owned was always at the end, so his name would mean that he is "Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Nikitas of the Shilage Kingdom" if what I heard is actually correct.

"shoulda built it to turn too" >in a F-104 Starfighter >turning in a F-104 Starfighter me: *laughs knowing how bad the Starfighter was*

1:06:55 I think his radio fell

Wait you sin that the pilots can’t see a bright red light on the drones at 31:45, I don’t know about you but trying to see a red light on a plane during the day going super fast in opposite directions would be extremely difficult

Hey Sly! Love the video, but one question. When you sinned the Osean flag during the Stonehenge firing, I always assumed he was talking about the base's flag, not nessecarily one painted on any particular big birb. Also, the laptop joke was way too relatable. Loved it!

I'm surprised that he did not mention that the HUD clearly shows that the "unidentified aircraft" was clearly an X-02 piloted by Mister X.

17:19 hmmmmm Gargoyle is flying F-14s which are typically a naval aircraft so technically they would be part of the OMDF and not the OADF. So they are not all in the Air Force unless Gargoyles F-14s say OADF which is doubtful since Osea is the America of Strangereal

1:07:29: Ejection is NOT a safe activity. It has something like a 30%+ fatality rate, which is still better than the 100% fatality rate that is a nose dive into the ground.

Those outtakes were *PERFECT!* You start battle of Farbanti and the first this we get is *"MY EYES!"* Overall verdict: this ga!e is sinful as hell but damn is it good

The only other weapon that might penatrate the sheild is probably the Alicorns main gun or chandelier

1:07:41 No. Hell No. No. NO. You should have added a Cop Out reference at the end right there Sly. XD OMG this turned out awesome! 7/7 Belkan nukes.👌🏻

Ah I am pleased to see a Count looks like Chad Kroger comparison. Because Count looks like Chad Kroger ready to show you his photograph of his fudged up kill count.

I’m sad you couldn’t do 444 sins

"Searchlights are a damn awesome addition, but how do the people manning them not hear the jet engines?" It's even funnier if you take the glowing skins on the X-02S, ADFX-01, or XFA-27.

17:16, isn’t Gargoyle in the OMDF

Ace Combat 8: Lazers, tunnel flight, advanced fighters bosses and finally some giant bosses, like Ace Combat 7 ! XD

Sly, I don't know how to thank you for all the hard work and time spent on this masterpiece. You've worked so hard throughout the months that you even went on to sacrifice your own free time to make this happen. This is the best New Year present to ever give to the Ace Combat community. However, there are questions regarding the sin count and moments that deserved to either get sinned or not. 1. I don't get why you didn't comment the moments where OBC and ENN covered early stages of the war and cool it was done. Those moments definitely deserved a credit imo. 2. You didn't cover three particularly moments of Mission 5. When you land safely after the mission, Bandog tells Trigger that he had lost a lot of money on that bet and he should not forget it, which means that Bandog holds a sort of grudge towards Trigger. Also, when you crash while landing, Bandog proceeds laughing and saying that he'd won the bet. Also also, fun fact: there is a human figure standing near the landing strip which can kill you if try to do something with it. Could be worth mentioning too. 3. In Mission 6, Bandog said this phrase: "You're gonna wish this mission never ended". I think it could be mentioned in the film too. 4. In mission 10, you didn't cover the Easter Egg which is the possibility of getting 1000 points for shooting down McKinsey's transport and Bandog's great phrase. Could've been worth covering too. Also, don't forget about the moment when Cyclops arrived after drone was shot down, DicKkinsey said that he hadn't listened to his orders to stand down, which is, obviously, a blasphemy. Really dickish, don't you think so? 5. In mission 12, Major McOnie said that Stonehenge had been rusting away for the past 20 years, when it was destroyed in 2005, therefore, it had been rusting away for the past 14 years, which is important. Clearly, should've been sinned. 6. In mission 15, it's possible to destroy the buildings in the Farbanti Reconstruction Area with simple machine guns. Imo, it should have been sinned because you cannot make it collapse by shooting it from a mere machine gun. 7. Mission 16. AWACS Argus. I think you understand why. 8. Admiral Andersen aircraft carrier. Massive sin for you for not mentioning such a callback from Ace Combat 5. 9. Tunnel run was not covered at all. Imo, it should've been covered. Ding. 10. It may be up to you, but I think not covering pensées at the end of the game is also a wasted moment. You have to admit that it is beautiful, especially when it's sang in French, or should I say, Aurelian. That's all I have. Phew, took long enough to type it. But it was worth it. Nonetheless, amazing work, Sly. Kudos to you. P.S. JUST AS I PREDICTED ABOUT ITALIAN BISTRO!!!!

If you look closely on ace combat 6 North Ocea Grunder industries is in the side of containers on ships you hit on that fortress mission. The ones in the river.

"We'll image process the unknowns caught in your cams to identify friend or foe." Oh gee, so NOW you use the cameras.
