You can hear the “blaze, may god have mercy” behind Fausts last words. Great touch to link it back in to the main story one more time, and honestly kinda terrifying. Also more development of the mystery “Deal” given to Hitman is great.
Well it's fitting, your squadron is deactivated and sent home, you probably see the defeat of the federation on the news, Even if they tasked K-9A and his WSO to cascadia immediately, it would have taken weeks, potentially months with the ensuing fallout making insertion into cascadia impossible, by the time everything would be set and ready the federation had already lost presidia. There was nothing they could do.
Also a reference to the Great White Fleet of the pre-WWI US, albeit with the role reversed- the real-life Great White Fleet were warships on a diplomatic tour.
@@acfnuggetI just beat the frontline 59 campaign myself, without taking any damage. VX-23 is definitely the best option. With AOA especially. It definitely wasn’t easy but not as hard as some made it out to be. Those big ships chasing you constantly do provide a significant collision hazard though.
23:38 - "A good soldier kills not because he hates what's in front of him but because he loves what's behind him. You should look behind you Driver and see what you went to so much effort to protect."
wait. In the end after you blow up the airship, in the sky....are those Cordium cruise missiles trailing at high altitude?? like the ones used in Prospero!?!?
@@wherewiiwentwrong damn...that's a great way of connecting the plots, not even Ace Combat managed it with the DLCs. But hey ain't the cordium warheads supposed to hit prospero? Why is the screen glitching way up in Magadan?
@@midodan1254 speaking about Faust's monologue at the end. What did they found in Oceania that mercenaries call holy, or sacred? I didn't get that point
I’ve beaten missions 1-5 without taking damage, this mission is going to be a nightmare to beat without taking damage. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Update: I’ve finished Frontline 59 without taking any damage, that final fight wasn’t as hard as I thought, that being said it was nerve wracking to have those large ships constantly chase me making for a significant collision hazard.
How you make tho avoid AAA fire? I ps2 ace combat was easy but in the last games is imposible to me avoid the bullet hit in this game and even in ace combat 7
@@exequielpomilio8558 by attacking from a distance/high altitude using MLAGs, MLAAs and ASMs. With some evasive maneuvering when dealing with enemy aircraft. Ground targets such as rail guns, lasers, AA guns and FLAK attack from the maximum lock on distance of the MLAGs and maintain a high altitude while doing so. For Air targets like fighters, don’t attack them fully head on, fire your missiles then maneuver out of the way to avoid getting hit by their guns. For naval ships attack from a distance using MLAGs and ASMs. For Air ships attack from a distance above or below depending on your position and pepper it using MLAAs. For FAUST same strategy except once the charged flak comes out, stay at a high altitude and pepper with MLAAs, VX-23 is the best choice for FAUST, same with the lasers. Like Vita said, it’s not impossible. I’ve done Ace Combat 7 no damage 3 times over the course of 4 years, did project wingman on hard and mercenary without taking damage and Ace Combat 6. Update I’ve found ASMs to be very inconsistent when used from a distance as there’s a chance they’ll miss. Get close then launch the ASM, it’ll hit every single time without fail.
I wonder if the threat of Faust crashing the Roosevelt into the Coral veins is the final straw for the Feds to launch. It's either having those warheads exploding in Magadan or exploding in Cascadia. Part of me wonder if that's actually deliberate. Either Magadan or Cascadia cooking off in a Second Calamity seems to be Faust's goal of spreading the war so far that the mercs can never organize again. Not to mention Faust's cordium burn spree forced Magadan to suppress all cordium reaction, which is leading to heightened cordium activity in Cascadia.
At 6:12 Eye-Tee faintly says in the background: "At 12 Angles, are those cruise missiles?", hinting at the concurrent Battle of Prospero and the visible cruise missiles in the distance.
15:07 Interesting that Faust says the Roosevelt "...is named after the last forefather". Did the PW timeline diverge around the beginning of the 20th century, then?
No, it happens in between Showdown and Prospero. Frontline 59 starts as you being deployed in response to Showdown. Also, you can hear the “blaze order” as Fraust says her last words and the screen going blurry is probably Prospero going boom. Also, at the end, you can see the cruise missiles flying high overhead
Not just that, but if you listen to the dialogue earlier in the mission, we even get some hints as to why the attack on Prospero seemed to surprise even the Federation with its intensity - the crew at the cordium facility you're protecting in this mission caused a massive pressure increase in the Ring of Fire when they dumped some kind of neutralizing agent into the deposit that Faust was attacking.
Barely passed the mission with 1 HP, all of my sanity removed and a newly acquired fear of Missile tones with an AOA Limiter Can't wait to do it again!
4:26 This did not aged well at all. On the other end it's cool to know that the Federation actual goal was not to create a second calamity. And Faust did end up provocking the thing she wanted to avoid.
I don't know, man, it seems like the missiles were alraedy en route by the time she was in the air. If she pulled it off, she probably would've just carved out a Ring of Fire shaped hole in the Earth.
She wanted to destroy the infastructure of the biggest cordium facility of the federation So that the federation will eat himself up, collapsing to it's self
