Did you know there 3 kinds of convicts? Those who fly around just to waste fuel Those who get too chatty and die And the few dumbasses who earn their redemption
@Gen. JFH I'd say Count also gets a pass. By the end of the game, he got rid of his flaws. Coming to think of it, you have to appreaciate that AC 7 had many secondary characters having character arcs
Bandog: You guys are going to fight without enough ammo, fuel, support and without a chance to retreat. It's basically suicide hahaha Trigger already having finished the mission: "WHAT? I'M SORRY I JUST FLEW INSIDE A TUNNEL UPSIDE DOWN REPEAT." Bandog: Why do we even give this guy a briefing ?
Long Day is the *perfect* name for this track, as it took me nearly over 4 hours, and a deep, passionate get-to-know with the A-10, before I could complete this mission...
yeah I hate those missions, I usually fuck up something at the end and then I have to do everything again. A checkpoind in the middle of the mission would be nice. I also haven't unlocked a-10 at the time so I did in a tomcat with air to air missiles.
@@kacoh.9111 For me it was at first the super tomcat, but I then changed to the mirage, which did not work for both, but the mig-29 was the ideal choice for this mission because it's fast.
Tabloid: Trigger just got 5. Count: I got 6! Bandog: Bullshit, you're still on 2. I love how Bandog of all people was the one to call Count out on that one.
Bandog: "Engage or be punished!" Champ: "Keep yapping away little guard dog!" (Random Spare pilot in background chatter): "Bark! Bark! Bark!" Bandog: "... You'll pay for this." Radio chatter in this game is great so far.
AWACS Thunderhead: **tells his pilots to cut the chatter** AWACS Bandog: **bets on some of them dying** Gotta admit Bandog is the worst but the coolest AWACS in the series.

Lol, the easily missed, optional tunnel portion in the western base is a great teaser for the final mission. Bandog even thinks you crashed till a Spare man tells him you flew into a tunnel like a nutjob. XD
@@oscarbayton1118 it's an old expression, based on when people thought anyone who had disabilities and couldn't wipe their own drool was just too stupid to do so.
I played ace combat 4 as a little kid . I was enamored by the nostalgia, especially from the soundtrack . Now here we are 15 years later ... enjoying the same essence of ace combat . My dad had trouble with the “Stonehenge offensive” mission , he would try again and again . I came across the mission “Stonehenge defensive” and it’s this sort of torch I felt getting passed to me . Playing on hard mode , I failed the mission a good five times . But I was ever so determined to be faster , hit harder , engage the enemy like never before . Fuckin legitness
Bro fr? I started my first ace combat with 4 as well and just loved the aspect of Yellow 13 and I started to play 7 not to long ago and love how the emblems look at the past gsmes
I really dig how every song from AC7 is basically a love letter to the masterful compositions of the franchise. This track in particular has the guitar riffs of Zero, the orchestration of 5, and the melodics of 4.
Literally the perfect soundtrack out of all the songs 😂. Last Hope, Lost Kingdom, and Daredevil are entirely original and new soundtracks on their own which makes it good so that AC7 isn't just a full on nostalgia trip
It’s the culmination of years of Keiki Kobayashi and his team’s experience in making this style of music. I expect that AC8’s music will go even harder.
Fullband: Hey, who wants to bet on who goes into solitary!? That´s what that gambling nutjub would say if he still here. ....... Bandog: Where´s your sense of humor, guys? Your buddy is making a joke. Laugh already.
Havent played the game yet, just listening to the soundtrack. THIS is the trademark Ace Combat song i was waiting for. The briefing's slap bass, the taxi cymbal, the tension violins, the dogfight guitar, and the stratospheric brass. Well done namco sound team.
I never went back for extra ammo or supplies in this mission. Not because I wanted to avoid solitary or such, but because I genuinely didn't think it was an option. Finding out I could, but succeeded without it was amazing. Like I could get the job done with far fewer tools, like some kind of professional. This is my first AC game, but I got into it because I had family play AC4 while I watched a long time ago. It's been a trip.
“Trigger, your mission is to eliminate the entire Erusean Army with only 6 bombs and 5 minutes to do it. You will not be allowed to resupply during this mission.”
The only mission in the game where running an A-10 is actually feasible. Every other ground attack mission is a trap. And even this mission has a bunch of aircraft in it.
This mission was the first where I broke out the A-10 and proceeded to use it for the majority of the rest of the game. Improved special weapon payload is such a nice utility when combined with the A-10's already high weapon capacity.
The way the song builds up reminds me a lot Liberation of Gracemaria from AC6 but then falls more on the Naval Blockade or First Flight from AC5. And it's wonderful!
This mission is actually therapeutic. Just blow shit up, with minimal air combat, and ground resistance. Just grab your A10 Thunderbolt II, sit back, and relax.
I went over the credits and I could find any mention of the bassist. There's no mention of a bass player! Three guitarists are mentioned. Maybe one of them played bass on this track? If not, what a shame.
The base in this song is pimp, classic Ace Combat sound without sounding derivative. Im glad the soundtrack isnt just remixes. That said a straight up air superiority mission with a remixed Comona would have been rad.
This is my favorite AC7 Mission. Favorite one to play when I’m bored or blue. I know the dialogue by Heart at this rate. (Or at least the main lines...lol)
This is my first AC game and this was the first mission i got problems completing it. I did it with the MiG-29 first using the guided bombs and halfway through the mission i switched to 4AAMs and went drone hunting. I finished it on normal with expert controls just in time for the minimum score to clear the mission, ended with a C, but felt like a friggin badass after doing it.
"Trigger. Having just gotten out of solitary and having had only a BeeseChurger (Yes, a BEESECHURGER) for breakfast, he just rolls his eyes as they approach Roca Roja and AWACS Bandog rudely explains the mission. Champ sums it up nicely and gives Trigger some hope that he'll be able to let off steam by "blowing the shit outta everything". Trigger comes up on the first portion, with three TU-160 White Swan bombers on the ground, their crews scrambling like mad to get them in the air before they're blown to pieces. Soon, Trigger and his cohorts are hailed with Anti Air Gun fire and missiles from from some SAM Launchers and two F-16s which barely made it off before Trigger fired some missiles at em, which they managed to evade. Those poor bombers had barely started taxiing to the runway before Spare 15 blew em to smithereens, leaving Champ astounded, and Bandog, surprisingly, issues out a compliment on Trigger's speedy sweeping of that area. Along the way, Trigger destroys some transport trucks and AA Guns before coming up to a relatively large canyon region of Roca Roja, the second part of the whole base. And Count, through some absolutely genius logic and wordplay in the form of what's essentially "Spare Squadron + resupply = Base go boom boom", Bandog lifts the resupply restriction, though Trigger anticipates a bout of solitary when he does go over. The canyons make firing missiles around the canyon walls difficult while Helicopters and AV-88s take potshots at Spare Squadron. Trigger finally has had enough and rockets his Su-34 Fullback (which he lovingly calls the "Platypus") skywards, and rains down all encompassing sadness on the enemy forces below with 4AGMs galore and blows the Rotorcraft and Harrier IIs out of the sky. Trigger cleans up that pesky canyon area posthaste, and, after resupplying his ammo reserves, moves on to the last and largest area: a huge open area with a not-so-conspicuous tunnel which some SAMs and AA Guns are stationed inside, along with many warehouses and exposed anti-air defenses. Trigger smiles gleefully as he takes off and dives towards the enemy forces. Some troops freeze from fright, having never seen such a vicious and swift flying style before. The whole area, within just a few minutes (and some quick trips over the return line), Trigger cleans up like a possessed Roomba cleaner on steroids, until the MQ-99s show up, having arrived, though in a swarm, quite late to the fiesta. Trigger laughs to himself in joy, FINALLY a legit challenge! Trigger ducks, dives, Cobras and Aileron Rolls around the drones, taking them out one by one, and soon his kill count hits the double digits while Count tries to BS a similar level of skill, though in all fairness Spare 2 is actually relatively skilled in context. Finally, the mission timer runs out and Bandog assesses the situation. To everyone's surprise, he dishes out something never before seen: The mission ends on a high note, with Bandog passing a severe punishment on the deserters, and Trigger and the others only get some time in solitary for crossing. But all the same, High Roller was shot down, and Full Band cracks a joke about him. The squad remains silent... Except Bandog, who promptly says:
The bastards who flew off we’re gonna wish they were never born. You guys get a pass Later Some of you cross the return line, this will result in solitary. Take them
IDK who the composer is for this track, but some of the orchestral parts definitely give me Soul Calibur vibes, especially around the 3:50 Mark. I'm convinced it's the same composer as several songs from Soul Calibur III/IV.
On my first playthrough I got just enough funds to get the A-10 just in time for this mission. With UGB it felt really epic, like back in the days when I played Aerofighters Assault for the N64. And my man Bandog really carried the Spare Squadron playthrough with his lines. i was actually sad we didnt see him again later.
What "genre" would this be considered? Any game with this whole big orchestral epic music is something I dig, somebody point me in the right direction please.
Quem já joga Ace Combat desde os primórdios, sabe o quanto essa música e também o cenário de Roca Roja são significativos. Não tenho dúvidas sobre a possibilidade de terem feito a música e a fase em homenagem aos fãs mais antigos da série.
I think I completed this mission more times then I can remember. It's easy to pull off on the game even on Ace difficulty if you use a fighter with upgraded UGBs or SFFSs. both are very effective at wiping out the ground targets quickly.
Fullband: "hey, who wants to bet on who goes into solitary? That's what that gambling nutjob would say if he were still there. Haha hahaha" Bandog: "where's your sense of humor, guys? Your buddy's making a joke. Laugh already."
Tabloid: "Trigger just got 5." Count: "I got 6!" Bandog: "Bullshit, Count, you're still at 2!" Count: "Is your radar really working?" Me: *already got 2 more targets during this dialogue*
When I first hit this mission I was certain in the fact I would become a lifelong Ace Combat fan. AC7 was my first AC but it certainly won't be my last. I've got several lying around from big bins of PS2 games I bought back in the day and just never got around to so I'm definitely going to do that.
