Front Mission 3 - Pilot Killers 

Great analysis my friend. Cheers.

Their journey sure is profitable.

BRUTAL INDEED

Rly good , but not all enemies have pilots 😊

America!

Are you russian?

My favorite skills are dbl punch, tackle, topple punch and initiative. Having learned these skills Marcus becomes a deadly machine knocking out each his melee opponent. After the finishing uppercut the rivals can't react any attack as their AP go to 0 till the end of current phase.

I loved to eject them. Such a random fun mechanic.

Front mission 1 and 2 are getting remakes so maybe a front mission 3 in the future

@@shadowtrooper1015 Front MIssion 3 remake confirmed!

I want another front mission with this kind of gameplay with PS5 GRAPHICS!! PLEASE GOD MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!

It would be banned if were exist in online game. lol

@@FF-ds9xw Either that, or nerfed to the ground.... because.. well you know! OMFGWTFLOLOL dat Skill be 2 overpowered! Nerf plox! THIS would be your typical Opening Discussion in a Forum which involves PvP lol :)

I liked the simplicity of the first game.

@@OCTO358 On the opposite, I love the complexity of FM5. To each their own I guess

They also always fail to reactivate any upgrades on their wanzer.

@St. Haborym and if u act quick and get in their wanzer and get out they wont enter thier wanzers again so 1 hit ko

Destroy arm is my favorite skill

THRE IS four and five and 6 im playing now 5,,, but 6 is calld front mission envolved and thy change battle michanic so they ruin it

Try life after from squarenix

They did make a "Front Mission" game for PS4. It's called _'Left Alive'_ but, according to many, it wasn't very good. It looks like a first gen PS3 title. Not to mention, the gameplay was similar to _'Front Mission: Evolved'_ which many think is the worst game in the series (since they made it into a generic first person shooter, instead of a SRPG that FM games are mostly known for).

@@TyrellCorp.-OffWorldCrow trash

it would be my dream if they did a remake for any of the front mission games......except front mission evolved, that was pure trash!

the opponents are jingoist fanatics who would nuke the world, stopping them is the priority.

Pilots of planes , tank crews ect get shot and there equipment gets captured some times it happens in war fair.

@Jonathan J. not at all. Some forgot they are Russian and they are beginning to remember

Hmm i like this skill

This is fun. It is just kill the pilot then capture wanzers as many as you want 😅

yeeess!!)))

"Kill the meat, save the metal"

All those 1's though, how is a dude taking 10 giant bullets to the face before he dies?

They are remaking FM 1 & 2 so there is a chance

They are remaking Front Mission 1, 2 & 3 on the Switch. Front Mission 1st Remake comes out in November, 2 comes out next year and 3 was announced but, no release or estimate date was given for that one. Maybe late next year.

This is just a normal mission, which means you can keep those acquired wanzers. The ones captured from simulator fights cannot be kept

I used fraps, you can see the watermark above the in-game scenes.

the easiest way is to go emma route then use emma wanzer (drake) to learn bunch of those skills in simulation then use high activate computer onyour wanzer and you are good to go

Eventually you will be able to buy computers with 6 skill slots for each player. Just have each player equip the right wanzer part, have them learn the desired skill 6 times and eventually when you buy the 6 slot computers, you'll be able to equip some skills 6 times.

True, but there is an option to use it in Alisa storyline, although a pretty limited one. If you finish Emma storyline with Kazuki and Ryogo having learned this skill, you could start Alisa storyline from that saved game. Since they are the only characters present in both storylines, you could use this skill via them, but no other character can learn it.

Entre mas veces uses una habilidad especial especifica en una computadora (especialmente una computadora con activacion alta), se activara con mas frequencia. Depende tambien de cual version de la habilidad especial se use. Usando las primeras versiones como 'Pilot Dmg I' o 'ROFUP I' hara que se activen con mas frequencia que usando las versiones II o III.

Cómo se ase eso para dañar al piloto

You blew my butt )

High HP, low accuracy.

This skills just need any shot to activate, so its not neccesary to use high accuracy.

@somadman You can actually capture Qibing 0. It's the second most rare wanzer in FM 3 (Hoshun being the first). You can only capture it on Emma route, only 4 or 6 wanzer appear on 2 mission in the entire game.

This strategy is mad! When i capture Qibing 0 in that underwater tunnel, the only thing that i came up 20 years ago is Eject Punch and swarm that pilot

In a strange turn of events all 3 Quibing 0 wanzers surrendered in that underwater level, got all three in 1 minute. This was after two tries failing horribly on that mission too haha, wonderful game

I believe it was the one with highest activation rate, but i'm not 100% sure

I had an enemy pilot hijack my abandoned wanzer exactly ONCE. It was in Emma's story, on board the giant Chinese base on tank treads, where you're inside their wanzer bay, their pilots start dismounted and are trying to get inside their wanzers.

Use ap-30% for high chain trigger rate

Actually, Kasel M2 is inferior to Zenislev regarding HP. Every upgraded Zenislev's wanzer part has higher HP than any upgraded Kasel part. On the other hand, the things Kasel is superior in: 1) 6 square movement, instead of Zenislev's 5, which is good, but would't say it is that big of an advantage. 2)Higher Def-C upgrade: 10% per level, instead of Zenislev's 5%. Not that impressive, but still good. 3)Higher Acc upgrade: whooping 52% at level 4, instead of Zenislev's meager 25% . This is the highest acc increase for all melee wanzers, which only Kasel M2 and Wude 3 have. Although Wude's arms have higher HP than Kasel's, so there's that.

It is written in the description of the video. Also, it does not necessarily activate at every turn, nor it works this way with every one-slot skill

А могла бы быть платина, если бы не использовалось оружие низкого уровня

Erlang Kurniawan just emulate it on your phone, i've finished this game twice on my tablet on original PSone, berkali kali

Because i wanted all of them to have it already learned, so i can maximise the chances of activation(if you have 5 instead of 6, its activation rate drops significantly). Drake M2C(emma's wanzer) is way more inferior for this scenario in which i wanted more HP, but less ACC, so that my wanzers survive and they do a lot less damage to the other wanzer. The damage dealt to the pilot is the same, you only need one burst shot to hit(out of 10). But your suggestion is very good early in the game if you want both to learn it and use it at the same time. unfortunaltey, learning all six of them is very hard, considering it is a one-slot skill. (p.s. i used google translate for your comment)

так вроде и так каждый ход навык срабатывает

​@@ProjectFahrenheitкомбо не получается всё равно. Было бы веселее, если бы за один ход этот навык срабатывал трижды - тогда каждая атака гарантированно выносила бы по одному противнику

Maybe it is better by your own criteria. If we're trying to be objective here, we can compare them: 1) EP is a melee-only skill, PilotDMG can be used with anything, including melee and missile. 2) EP- you have to move all the way to the wanzer, which sometimes may not be possible. PilotDMG doesn't have this problem. 3) EP- you attack last, which means that the skill can theoretically be disrupted be the enemy's first attack. 3) EP requires the attacked wanzer to have an adjacent space for the pilot to eject, while PilotDMG does not. Let's analyse your proposed 2 melee and 2 shotgun strategy, too: 1) you depend on the other wanzers to finish the job, while PilotDMG strategy can be achieved with a single wanzer. Moreover, the PilotDMG can also be chained and can kill the pilot in one move. Although this can happen, it is extremely rare. 2) Your setup of 2 melee and 2 shotgun is also only effective late in the game. The ejected pilot has insanely high evasion and does not soak up the bullets that easy. Without high acc upgrade, the pilot can withstand those two attacks most of the time. But it is not that bad of a strategy, since ejected pilot does not activate their upgrades while entering the wanzer back, so it is an easy prey. Also, it can always be ejected on the next round and killed.

@@me89tar i tried many combinations . got the game back in 99. For me the 2 melee guys with 3 eject punchs and a shield attack 3 and two gunners with shotguns of machines guns with aim body and rofup 3 is the quickest and easiest way to deal with enemies.

Because you can only put 2 of Pilot DMG3 in a computer, whilst you can put 6 of Pilot DMG1. The sheer number of these skills is exactly the reason it activates this often; for instance, if you would put 5 instead of 6 its activation rate would decrease significantly.

Someone already asked this a long time ago, I will just paste my answer: Because you can only put 2 of Pilot DMG3 in a computer, whilst you can put 6 of Pilot DMG1. The sheer number of these skills is exactly the reason it activates this often; for instance, if you would put 5 instead of 6 its activation rate would decrease significantly.

@@me89tar I see, so the number of skills affect the activation, but what about comp levels ? You could just use one with higher activation percentage, right ?

Of course, you should use the one with the highest activation rate. The point is to activate it as often as possible, chaining is not that important in this scenario. On the other hand, you could use a normal computer. The skill should activate pretty often, but there is a chance that it will also activate more times per turn. You can also see that in the video (at 5:05), but I am not sure which computer I used. Perhaps I still have that save slot in my emulator. If you are interested, I can check it for you which was the computer in question :D

@@me89tar I'm gonna do this build for the New Plus game lmao

But beware, if you acquire all of these skills for your players and start a new game in which you already have them early in the game, you will be pretty disappointed. This build only works if you have all six of them. In older computers with 4 slots, this skill very rarely activates.

it's because of the quanty. if you look at the beginning of the video you will see that i have six instances of the skill in my computer. it greatly increases activation rate.

So it only because u use 6 skill pilot DMG1? Nice

Can u teach me sir.. And what's the name of your wanzers?

Как раз сейчас её прохожу и поймал себя на мысли, что ремастер этой игры - слишком сложная штука. Суди сам: между боями идут продолжительные кат-сцены, которые нужно анимировать и озвучить. Ведь нынче мало кому будет интересно читать комиксы, как это делали мы четверть века назад. Я даже представить боюсь, насколько это получится титанический труд и сколько места итоговый ремастер будет занимать на диске.

@@3axapvlad ремастер уже официально в разработке. Так что..))) ждем

@@user-kb4fc9hh8k если этот ремастер релизнется, то я не буду в него играть, пока в нём не будет полноценной русской локализации. Оригиналу с PS One это простительно, так как там практически нет катсцен и озвучки. А это значит, что игра на любом языке представляла из себя анимированные комиксы. А если выйдет ремастер с полноценными катсценами, то опыт разных игроков будет разным - пока одни будут смотреть мультики, другие будут читать текст. Из принципа не прикасаюсь к подобным играм (с неполноценной локализацией) даже на торрентах

+thenut55555 it doesn't depend on weapon level, or the damage it inflicts on wanzers. this depends solely on weapon class. some weapon classes do more damage with this skill, some less.

Wait till you see a wanzer with 6 PrvntLoss skills equipped, which makes them activate almost every time. Literally invincible wanzers. I believe there is a video on youtube called Front Mission 3 Prevent Loss, which shows that behaviour.

This game is too easy all in all. Anything works except all Melee. Topple shots, stacking ROF1 or Zoom1 for bursters. Spam missiles with Salvo. Stack Shield Attack 1 and Tackle 1 on Melee. I think i can get all platinum medals with any combination.

The skill can be used with any of those weapons you mentioned, does not matter if it is melee or single/multiple shot. The only difference to note is that the damage inflicted on the pilot is dependent on weapon class, which is can be either 5(such as melee) or 7(such as machine gun) for Pilot DMG 1. Burst weapons work best, not only because of the higher damage, but because it takes at least one hit to inflict the damage on the pilot. If the acc is low, a single-shot weapon will likely miss, but burst weapons almost always fire at least one successful shot. And some corrections(in case you are interested): Although most of these big boss wanzers tend to have low or zero evasion(but this is mostly because they take up multiple squares, and your acc is greatly increased, which trumps their evasion rate), this is not true to Kexi models, which do have fairly high evasion. And you do get one more Qibing appearance in Misumi harbor mission, but there are two of them this time, and if I remember correctly, one is owned by Rosavia, a pilot which cannot be ejected or have HP damaged. Qibing is a good wanzer, but not for the thing you've mentioned. It falls into the same category as Zenislev, which has a more durable body. That being said, I personally prefer it over Zenislev, although it has less HP. That's because it has 15% Def-C upgrade per level, which is the highest available in the game. But you are somewhat right regarding Qibing having more HP than Zenislev in the Futai tunnel mission, where one of them has HP upgrade one level above what is available at the time. Lastly, yeah, many of the wanzer model names have been translated differently. Not just Zenislv, but also Whisk, Vinedrai, etc.

@@me89tar Knowledgeable people like you should make a playthrough with commentary going over all of this information only someone that has played so much can know

​@@me89tarfor me Qibing is helpful with learning topple punch skill. I bring Marcus into it, learn topple punch, then take him into Zenislev to learn initiative + tackle then back to Grapple to learn dbl punch. So I arrange the skills in the following order: initiative, dbl punch, tackle, topple punch. Having a computer that does high usage of skills I get Marcus as a heavyweight boxing champion crushing anything on his way.

interesting take. this could work well with a computer with low activation, but high combo. personally, i always avoid initiative skills, since they do more harm than good most of the time. although in this case it could work, since you would strike first and then deal a lot of damage, plus ecsape the conuterattack. The only problem is that the skills won't activate so often. This can be solved by putting a computer which does not lower your activation rate so much(even normal computers do tend to chain a couple of skills), but in this case you also risk the scenario where initiative 1 activates plus some other skill that is not TopplePnch(or worse, only initiative 1 activates, without anything else), and you get more damage from the wanzer returnig fire.

+mark taddah you learn it from Drake M2C arm. pilot damage 1, that is
