What I find interesting about this plane is that the plane itself is not extremely special, its design is actually somewhat realistic and it's shown as being flawed from the start with that instability and the High-G Lock in AC6. It's the SP Weapons that it carries that make it special, and it was made just for that.
@@EvilXero359 the x-02 is not actually based on the x-29 Just because it has forward swept wings doesn’t mean that it’s based off of the x-29, it could just as much be based off of the su-47 and I couldn’t find any sources saying it was based on either. It might just be that the designers thought that forward swept wings that could fold would look cool
@@EvilXero359 and x-02’s design is not realistic at all, as during the folding process the wings would break off entirely, when folded in it would have no vertical stabilisers resulting in large amounts of drifting whenever there is one tiny mistake, and despite the fact there would be no place to put the fuel you can still use it for long range missions, but I guess that it’s just for gameplay purposes just like why the rest of the points that I made don’t happen
Still my favorite original design in the series. The design is more grounded in reality than most others, looking like a futuristic variation of the Sukhoi Su-27 lineage. The weapons are also the best to me. The ADMM system is extremely fun to use and the railguns can easily take out nearly anything no matter how maneuverable or well armored it is. I hope it makes an appearance in AC7. If it does I'll probably fly it quite a lot.
What’s cool is that it looks like an F-35 and Su-27 had a baby which is the CFA-44 the dashboard looks straight out of the F-35’s cockpit so we can assume this would be something US and Russia would make if they just worked together
Yeah, it's definitely has Mig 29 and Sukhoi 27 DNA within its appearance architecture and vestiges it's weapon systems are what make it unique it's kind of like a revolutionary fighter plane in that regard as every other generation 5 fire plane is more evolutionary me personally I think the Ace Combat series Hit Upon a very truly unique airplane it does appear to have some fusion elements of American and Russian Aesthetics but it's primarily a Russian appearing plane with a Japanese twist and maybe some American styling here and there but kind of like the master chief of the flight simulators I think they really hit upon something unique and compelling I do like the backstory in his assault Horizon of it having been originally a aircraft of the Soviet Union it seems like something they would have done possibly something that bankrupted their economy LOL but it lives on like everything else
Actually in regards to modern aircraft with fly by wire technology instability is a good thing. It makes the aircraft much more maneuverable and allows some of the crazy maneuvers that you can see the Su-27 series and F-22 using. Simply the electronics make the aircraft not just usable but more effective in spite of being unstable.
You left out that there are actually two variants of the CFA-44 in Ace Combat 6. The other is the prototype and can only be unlocked by getting an S Rank on all missions on all difficulties.
Yes! ADMMs, EML's and 2 30MM's. My fav plane. (Also soviet flavor) When I decided to make a Ace Combat like story in a AU, this plane just screams use me.
Fernando Marques Meanwhile I would go with R-101 Delphinus and its later series. Screams "FOR SCIENCE", knowing Neucom's company backstory. Nanotechnology, AI, human consciousness in the Internet, and waging war with companies instead of countries.
I swear the CFA-44's ADMM has the most satisfying target lock-on sound in the game. Approach a group of targets, swap to it, and watch 12 targets be quickly selected, just waiting for the trigger to be pulled. Or the next best weapon is the CFA deciding to go full Evil Dead and pulls out two railguns.
4:37 Well....technically it uses a metamaterial to absorb the electromagnetic waves. BUT the thing with MOST metamaterials is that they only usually hide you from a very narrow frequency of the EM spectrum. In fact I think that you can be hidden from narrow frequency of radar, while at the same time it doesn't hide you from other frequencies of radar. In addition while metamaterials may hide you from a very narrow frequency, it will make you MUCH visible on ALL OTHER FREQUENCIES.....so I guess that sorta explains why the Nosferatu has light stealth characteristics...prob, because of this handicap. However, there is some theoretical work suggesting that specially constructed metamaterials may be able to hide u from a broader range of frequencies. Although I am not quite sure what the visibility will be like for the frequencies that it doesn't hide you from :/
Echs One I see you are an ace of culture as well. 👏 Neucom aircraft is iconic as a future streamlined aircraft that puts the COFFIN system as standard with neural control and application of more delicate aerodynamics. I use R-101 Delphinus and XFA-27 as my main aircraft, unlike most other players in Infinity. XFA-27 is my more used due to multi-role tasks, and in the right hands, can sweep faster than other multi-lock missiles carried by more popular models, but CFA-44's railguns is peerless when facing boss targets with anti-missile capabilities like the QFA-44 and its laser drones.
Warwolf 1, I know that this plane would not be that easy to get... but still, I would play the easy difficulty first then once I'm good at it, I'll progress the next difficulty next and once I get used to that again, I'll do it again on even harder difficulty... I once did this before in Joint Assault (PSP) and even finished those pesky traitors (GAF-1) with only ADF-01 FALKEN in the hardest (Ace) difficulty with rank S... Although I do also doubt that the CFA-44 Nosferatu can be inside some sort of buy-able DLC for Skies Unknown, hopefully it is or not...
Had a shitload of fun drifting in that thing. And crashing, but its not like i flew straight the first time i played Ace combat, which was my first flying game. Arcady at first, but i found the options for more realistic turning.
Yayo' Ariowibowo I'll only concide the SU-37's status if you promise to use the livery of the Federal Erusean Air Force 156th Tactical Fighter Wing Aquila or Gault
True, commies wouldn't be able to produce such a craft, but to be fair the Nosferatu likely had impossibly high production and maintance costs thus they didnt entered mass production - 12 "normal" planes are still better then 1 "nearly op" plane
Fun fact, F-22 was start developing in early 1982 and the project of developing JSF(F-35) was starting somewhere in 1987. So it wouldn't be far off if some USSR spy found out what US trying to come up with and tell their KGB boss that they need such an aircraft.
I just realized the Steve Blum the voice actor of Captain Bartlett, Nagasei's va, and captain Hamilton's va all played in Code Geass together, also the va for gennette played Captain Levi in attack on titan... holy crap, these guys are a major part of my childhood in more ways than 1.
I personally perfer that Emmeria got the technology to produce the CFA44 and P-1112 etc after Emmeria-Estovakia war. just hope in ace combat 7 i will still have chance to fly Cfa44 :)
I gotta give ac6 some credit, it’s over 10 years old and it has better looking engines, way better and further reaching ground detail than in ac7 and it’s scenery was so amazing I also loved the way that aircraft handled
CFA-44 Nosferatu overtook its time by a good 10-20 years. Assuming that the action in Ace Combat 7 takes place after the conflict with AC6, it is possible that CFA-44 would appear in AC7. Emmeria probably found a few unfinished copies of Nosferatu and sent them to Yuktobania, Osea and Erusea for evaluation tests. Finally, the electromagnetic gun from CFA-44 in 2019 went to the F/A-18 Super Hornet equipment. Ace Combat Fan, I would like to see in your series about aircraft with AC Lockheed Martin F-22, by the way showing what would happen if Raptor received the on-board version (F-22N Sea Raptor), two-seater version (F-22B) and bomber variant (FB-22 Strike Raptor).
In Ace Combat there are many original machines like ADFX Morgan, XFA-33 or CFA-44, which are not known outside the world of Ace Combat. But fighters from our world had versions that never went beyond the design or prototype phase and are little known. The best example is the F-15N Seagle, which was an alternative to F-14 Tomcat. Or the fact that the Lockheed L-133 Starjet could be the world's first jet-powered jet fighter. Or the production was only considered for the export of the F-16 with the J79 engine.
This guy: It's a pretty heavy aircraft Also this guy: It's considered a light stealth aircraft, made mostly with a light alloy. Anyone else notice this?
The CFA-44 is my favorite aircraft. The mini missiles is the only special weapons i like or use and are good for any occasion. This plane is one of the best!
CFA-44 nosferatu: Russian answer to American XFA-27 phoenix (USAF) and X-02 wyvern (US NAVY and USMC), the nosferatu's airframe design and weapon system was heavily inspired by XFA-27(except the railgun). Powered by 2 AL-41FS/117S thrust-vector engine and armed with IRBIS-E AESA radar, the very same armament, engine, avionics that used on current SU-35 and cancelled SU-37 and SU-47. It was believe that sukhoi were responsible for the Nosferatu's development and production, since it's design was identical to flanker series.
I don't know which country it is, but "Nosferatu" means Vampire. Might be german. Regardless, looks like a sick jet. It's currently, a DLC jet in Ace Combat 7, and I want it.
I think the majority of the Nosferatu’s design is heavily influenced by Sukhoi aircrafts both current and experimental production. The Sukhoi’s fuselage were famous for its versatile design including the addition of canards, the top section folding Airbrakes, similar front air Intake, landing gear, and sleek aerodynamic cues taken from the Su-27 Flanker families and the new PAK FA fighter (now known as the Su-57 Felon). Second, The engine nozzles are are borrowed from the experimental Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31, an experimental jet fighter designed to test fighter thrust vectoring technology in collaboration with American manufacturer Rockwell and Germany’s Messerschmitt Bölkow-Blohm, 2 aircraft were built with only one survived. The cockpit is somewhat a similarity of an F-35. The delta wing takes cues of the Su-57, but with extensions to make it look like a “kite” shape, which most of the time the extensions are found in experimental or ultralight aircraft.
The Nosferatu is a thunder: it could even defeat with a single shot of EML a giant airship like the Sphyrna or a faster plane like the "Night Raven" without fatigue. And with a single shot of ADMM, it could destroy an entire fleet of ships.
This beautiful make my fight with Mihaly and the Sol squadron easier with ADMM. The instability is her charm making missile evading more easier for me.
Necro-bumbed to see this series continue after the initial Ace Combat 7 hype train calms down. While you're here, might as well start pitching your requests. I'm submitting the ADF-01 Falken.
Mach storm 「FA-44 Block60」 AC6「CFA-44」 I think FA-44 is a standard model without a special weapon and UAV. I think CFA-44 as a super weapon that can use EML, ADMM, and UAV is a "Commander Fighter Attacker" But this is my delusion, so please don't worry.
X0-2S: I’m more maneuverable and better with my EML! ADF-11F: No I’m more maneuverable and better with my UAV’s! CFA-44: *Laughs in UAV-45, Rapid-Fire EML, and **4:54*
X-02S: *original phrase ADF-11F: *original phrase Unknown: Amateurs… X-02S and ADF-11F: Who was that? Who is that punk? CFA-44 (AC AH variant) with ADMMs: Amateurs.
To be honest the CFA-44 is more of a cross between American and Russian technology. So I would consider that this is plane would be the result if both countries develop a plane together.
The design of the CFA 44 itself while streamlined in absolutely Uber sleek is ultimately a impressively designed chassis for a revolutionary weapon system as far as generation 5 fighter planes are concerned it is a work of art and its appearance but it's meant to be a highly capable fighter plane in the hands of a professionally experienced pilot to be used in conjunction with its devastating array of Weapons Systems. Now that's the only Arena where the Nosferatu is highly fictional because it's weapon systems do not exist Beyond its anti-aircraft cannons and those two external mounted missiles everything else the atom missile launcher the eml railgun the electronic countermeasure haven't been developed yet but everything else is plausible you could practically build this jet now and a functional capacity. But that's what makes it more futuristic than the other planes that's what makes it special is it's revolutionary weapon systems it's one of the reasons why folks often try to classify it as a Gen 6 aircraft rather than a Gen 5 but the developer and the publisher have never referred to it as a Generation 6 fighter plane it's contemporary to the Raptor and other generation 5 fighter planes but the backstory of it being a Soviet fighter plane is ideal you can see the Russian Aesthetics within the plane as far as maybe a bankrupt to the Soviet Union within that continuity but I don't believe it to be a Generation 6 airplane it's simply an advanced fighter contemporary to the Raptor and whether any other continuity or the assault Horizon Universe either way it's a fascinating airplane that has caused many people to fall in love with it.
Being developed by USSR is quite disturbing, it would be much more fitting and make more sense if it were developed by France or EU since the name is not very Russian or at least Slavic and America seems to be leaning toward UCAV likes one in Stealth. As for China, Japan, or even India, it's more likely that one of them might come up with one but it wouldn't be named CFA-44 Nosferatu. And my suggestion is Su-35 (Markov's not Scarface 1)
