Return to Form for a Beloved Franchise | Ace Combat 7 Review 

Hey all, would just like to point out that since I played on PC, I decided to omit discussion of VR gameplay since I couldn't experience it first hand. I'm really trying to consolidate and condense the information I provide and there's tons of other content out there that covers the VR gameplay with actual first hand experience. As always, thank you for your continued support!

I'm pretty sure this is how graphics looked to me as a youth with a PS2

It's for sure a glorious return to form for the series after like 11-12 year since AC6 especially after all the development trouble the game went through

Ace combat 7 was the game that really brought me into AC game and it was so damn fun, wish the game had a new game plus mode that changed the flight model into a more “realistic” model like AC3 with limited but extremely challenging enemies with fewer missiles on your planes (so each one you fire really matters) to change things up a little for that second play through

Ok as a Fan of the OLD AC games and as a Fan of 7 there are some issues. Drones where a cool addition to the game but due to their hitbox I keep missing them with my MG so I wase a mssl.😢 The 2 mission in which you have to identify the tgt where fun on the first run a definetly needed as a rest from the last few missions, but on repeat playtrough they are just a pain to go trough. Stroy while better than 6, realy did suffere from a lack of focus, and was definetly rewriten a dozen of time to get the mishmash of sub stories we got. (If you paid attention during the games development we got a frekenstein game, just proves PA dosent miss)

This game kicks so much ass, felt like an Ace Combat game and all the slight AC3 easter eggs are super cool.

I grew up playing Ace Combat, and it's definitely my top 3 gaming franchises. I loved 7 and definitely thought it was a good base to have future ace combat games set upon. My only gripe is that i wished the multiplayer was more fleshed out and had more modes similar to AC ♾️. Sadly, i didn't get to play much of infinity as i never had a ps3. I'm looking forward to AC8 and what Project Aces will bring us next!

this game brought us SALVATION

AC7 speedrunner here, it's so great to see newer-ish players taking the dive into the multiplayer which is notoriously diffiuclt for people without 200+ hours in the game and not be detered. kudos to you for that and I hope you enjoyed the game!

I liked how in 7 i can see the eventual outcome of the world in 3. With the drone tech being early sublimination, and i believe one of the characters from 3 (according to the wiki) being in the game. Im really excited to see if 8 revolves around the actual war that 3 was simulating.

Great video as usual, the timing couldn't be more perfect 😜

While I can't compare AC7 to previous titles, I can only wholeheartedly agree with your Assessment! Truly one of my favourite games.

Easily Kobayashi's best score, the thematic consistency across all of the tracks really ties everything together. I find myself humming the main fanfare of Trigger's theme quite often without thinking. Dark Blue was such a phenomenal sendoff for the campaign. I think the game has the perfect amount of variety and makes sure you never feel like you're doing the same thing twice. I wish I could experience my first playthrough again just to relish in it. They really sell you on being Trigger, and I feel like there's a massive missed opportunity for merch with his various tail markings. The DLCs were incredible in both story and bringing us Enchanter, one of my favorite tracks. The two target ID missions are a little tedious, but I think they serve the plot well and don't bog down replay value. The only thing I kinda didn't like is how short your time limit is on some missions, especially compared to 6. You don't really get much flexibility to try new things when most missions run less than 15 minutes. The aircraft tree did bring a lot of replay value to the game though, and the limits on specials kept more or less redundant aircraft relevant. The only complaint I have is having the F16 as your starter means it just gets done dirty on stats and its selection of specials is lacking. I think I've replayed this eight times now? Some missions far more than that. It's just honest fun that isn't afraid of trusting the player's skill and giving you a challenge

Personally, I was disappointed with it. I very much enjoyed it and the time I spent on it with the price, but whether it be nostalgia for 5 and Zero, or just a sign that I’m different now that I’m older, almost every non-technical aspect just felt like it wasn’t as good. It is a good game, it is a good Ace Combat game, and checks all the tropes of the past games, but I feel like it didn’t take enough risks. The music didn’t feel like it had that punch that it did in the past, with the exception of Daredevil. I can listen to the soundtracks and essentially replay the missions in my head of both 5 and Zero, nearly instantly identifying which score corresponds to each mission. The story, although not bad, felt tame. I don’t remember much of the wingmen whatsoever, not a single one had any sort of emotional impact for me. Mihaly is by far the star character, and what they should have done instead of you killing him is you damage him enough for him to respect you and fight by your side against the drones he helped create, possibly sacrificing himself in the finale. “I want to understand the enemy” he says, but with no implication of if he means how they fight, or why they fight. What might be the main contributing factor in the other characters being forgettable is the fact that they’re not fantastical or nonsensical enough. One of the tropes of the characters is saying things that absolutely make no sense. “All prisoners of war will be treated according to international law. We even brought pizza” is a great line because it’s lighthearted and fun in complete contrast to the battle we just waged. We needed more of that, but instead we got “we’ll see how you like that, IN SOLITARY!” Which is just kind of boring. One of the more impactful sequences is being framed for shooting down Harling. However, I believe that should have happened later in the story. 4 missions in is far too soon for some twist betrayal like that. Harling had no impact in previous missions, other than being a name we remember from 5. The Arsenal Bird was disappointing as the super weapon(s) to fight against because it just felt like the Arkbird and XB-0 had a baby. The Arkbird felt magical with how it was talked about by the characters and that it was such a tragedy that it was sabotaged and stolen. What if one had been stolen by the Erusian’s and modified with the laser weapon, and the Osean forces had to escort their own Arsenal Bird and there was a fantastic battle going on with the two of them over Stonehenge? Arsenal Bird felt like they just made Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi into planes. I love that they had the F-104 in the game, that’s one we rarely see. I’m also glad to see they brought the F/B-22 and F-16XL, but I wish they would have brought more unconventional or modified concept planes to the mix. The JPEG dog was hilarious though. I love it. It wasn’t impactful, but it was visually stunning and a really was a good time, I just wish it was a great time. I really hope they take more risks with the next entry, considering how well 7 sold.

Great video. I like your comment on the aircraft tree. When I initially went through, I went for some Suhkois and western fighters but when I get to mission 15, I could complete it due to me not really having good enough jets to compensate for my skill at the time. Went and got the F-15E and completed the campaign from there but you really do need to plan just so you have some end game jets if you are a new player. Again awesome video 👍

i also recently finished the game had never played any ac games in the past but lemme say im hooked im currently going for the platinum on ps5 and i just cant get enough of the game its one of those games i dont wanna finish because ill miss it to much the atmosphere of the game is great the soundtrack is also amazing the games is 9\10 for me

I still remember playing Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere on my Ps1. I loved that game, spent a lot of time with it. And now I'm really enjoying Ace Combat 7 on the PC. Got on a Steam sale wich is even better

Ace Combat 7 managed to be as good as it was despite the development hell it went through. Makes me really excited for AC8

The reason of the pleasant surprise at the end with the appearance of 5's badass G, was because there was an expedition to space to explore the solar system and she was on it. And that day was the day the expedition was to return. And I believe one of the reasons of the "war" was to stop the expedition and take control of. Also, there is rumors that the one who trained Trigger to be a pilot was none other than: *Solo Wing Pixy.*

recently lost a ton of my data on my PS4, so I got to replay ace combat 7 after like 600 hours of using it.

I really liked the IFF identification gimmick they had for a few missions in the campaign. It varied things up and was a nice departure from the same "lock on to the green box until it's red" mechanic I've been playing since Air Combat on the PS1. I'm all for more variety and diversions from the same old treaded ground. That said, you're not the only one I've seen complain about it. Which is too bad because I suspect it's a game mechanic we won't see return in the next game.

I’m gonna buy this on switch

I was a longtime fan of the series and I adore ACE7. So much so I've got Three Strikes on the side of my motorcycle helmet.

They did Mihaly dirty at the end and I will not forgive them for that.

Don't forget to play the unofficial spin-off, Project Wingman. Indie game that keeps the spirit of Ace Combat while doing a few unique things, with additional orange. Also it supports PC VR through the whole campaign. A pretty intense experience.

I swear, the absolute masterpiece that would result inna game with just 50% of a DCS's or BMS's technical depth and bredth, coupled with an AI version of Nemesis System. Realism, AND drama.

DUDE. I only started playing ace 7 a couple weeks ago as I thought the series was still a PS exclusive and I'm also a PC gamer who grew on ace 4. I've S ranked the game on hard, working on ace, and just now learning you can perform post stall moves!?

For me this was GOTY 2019.

7 was the first I bought (got the version which came with 5 so that was technically the first I'd played). Absolutely loved playing 7 went through and got the platinum trophy (hated the file X amount of miles one screw that), can't believe it's been 5 years already 😂😂

For me.. Ace combat 7 does not compete with the ps2 holy 3. The story feels.... ok. The boss battles. Meh. It doesnt feel as intense or Grand. The ps2 bosses felt like you needed skill and taking the right shot to get that one kill. AC7 felt like... SHOOT MORE MISSLES.

I only played 2 Ace Combat games. The first one for the Playstation in 1995 and AC7 on PC. I really wanted to play AC6 but it was only a XB360 release and I was no longer a console gamer.

The penal colony missions in my opnion were underused infact i would argue that they could make for a genuinely good story on its own i hope they come back to this idea.

I personally didn't really like the Aircraft tree, as it was a bit hard to read, but otherwise i liked AC7. Hoping we get AC8 someday. You mentioned on an other comment that you're doing Project Wingman after Armored core, but are you going to check out the PSP games at some point? Joint Assault wasn't the greatest, but ACX is up there with the holy trinity in gameplay.

Please consider reviewing the massively overlooked Ace Combat X for the PSP!

My entry into the series was this, I could not stop playing this game.

I actually have never play any of the previous Ace combat game I bought this game last year because of the Bandai Namco Sale at PlayStation Store. Look at the title and i say "Ace combat?... I think i saw a few Ace combat meme and post in my media social" look at the trailer and a little bit gameplay footage i straight up bought it (and also because it's suprisingly cheap at that time. 8 bucks only) Third mission i already "Holy shit how come i never discovered this game" like i have play hundreds of mainstream franchise game like Metal gear solid, Tekken, Armored core and ect but never know anything about Ace combat And after finish the whole game i just "Man what a game" and for some reason it give me some weird nostalgia feeling.. like i almost cry dude while finishing this game. The character the dialogue the music, it just hits And a few weeks ago i just finished playing all the PS2 Ace combat games. Now this series will forever stuck in my heart

I just bought the game hot off the trail of armored core 6. Needed another sortie style game and this did not fail. I havent had so much fun playing a flight game since heros over the pacific on ps2

Awesome review 😀 I love AC7. Now you review Project Wingman 😀👍 a awesome game made by a AC fan. 3 people did it and one is the composer and 1 one the producer. So 90% of the game was made by 1 dude! Yet it rocks and the soundtrack is legendary! I would loooove to watch your review. Available one ps5 and PC and in VR on PC 🎉👍

Does the Play Station store has all gaes from PS1 trough PS3/4?

I haven’t played this since air combat. I didn’t realize they were still making them. I need a PS5 one now!

The thing I find the most charming about Ace Combat world is how everyone including your grandma has a jet fighter in her garage, I mean irl a fighter jet, even the most old ones that are still used, are pricey and extremely valuable pieces of gear and only a country like USA is able to field dozens at a time. But in ACE combat each time a war starts, fighther jets of all kinds starts to pop up even under the stones even when little and poor countries are participating in the conflict, it is like if in an African country people instead of Toyotas and Ak -47 uses hundreds of SU-27 and MiGS it is hilarious in a good way.

I realy love this game but mentally im still fliyng with dision and i feel a need for the electrosphere. Damn i wish they would fresh up ace combat 3.

And as of recently, the Deluxe edition is coming to the Switch as well, the first time a mainline AC game has come to Nintendo since AC Advanced

Fighting drones in this game was the worst, it felt like they could stop, stop, and turn in ways that were not just unhuman, but unreal. I still go back and play this game when I need a break from hardcore gaming like DCS.

Fun fact about Mr.X, he was the one who trained Yellow 13 to be a pilot. 13 was so good that he impressed Mr.X with his skills back then. I also agree on a comment of yours about the next game should take place in the past. There are still many places and stories that haven been touched in Strange Real

Why Ace7 doesn’t have Canopies open in Hanger when picking you plane so you can see how the parts move ? Ace6 has you Able to move Parts Though not Canopy But you were able to be IN THE COCKPIT In the hanger 🤷‍♂️ Why Ace7 doesn’t have Insta Replay in pause menu or Even after you Fail ? Why can’t you PAN 360° IN REPLAY VIEWER like Ace6 did!? EVEN ASSAULT HORIZON HAS BETTER QUALITY in that regard smh Why is ONLY The SU-30M2 in the ENTIRE GAME the Only plane which has ANY Weight or Driftyness to it !? You can Control Stall in Ace6 as doing a High Alpha (High AOA) due to the Detailed Flight Model Also It’s FUN And Can Come in Handy. Ace7 does Not have that Detail or Sophistication and It DOES Affect gameplay as well as Fun factor . Face it Ace7 is not as Graceful of a Comeback as you all praise it to be As the “troubled development” it had and It Shows ! At this point personally I’d want a Remake of Ace7 as To make up for all that Teasing, But also as it still had SO MUCH POTENTIAL !

I loved this game! Are there any other similar games? I can’t find anything like it on Xbox one

I wasn’t a huge fan of 7. I’ve been playing ace combat since AC04 right when it came out, and have played every game since. My least favorite part about 7 is just how incompetent your allies are including your awacs. Obviously you’re always the hero of every game, but in the older games, the dialogue made me feel that I was fighting on a team with people who knew what they were doing. The old games made me feel like a real fighter pilot, flying with other fighter pilots. Of course, I’m not a huge fan of the whole penal squadron thing either. I find myself not caring about any of my teammates besides wiseman kinda. I do like the cutscenes, scrap queen and the fan service sprinkled in, I just feel the story was a little rushed and lackluster.

You should try Ace Combat 7 Skies Restored Mod Pack?

Damn, that looks fun

I really, REALLY like AC7, it's such a fun entertaining ride, how the clouds and weather effects the gameplay is so interesting and fun. And well....god damn that music. Glad to see it enjoyed by more and more players!

His game was such a blsst that I've replayed the campaign at least 13 times at this point just kinda wish they added co op and team destruction missions to multiplayer just like the ones in AC Infinity Team dogfight just gets old after awhile.

They can port 7 but why dont they port the holy trinity to switch as well

Ah, War Crime 7 oh w ait i mean Ace Combat 7, such a great game where the story is compelling and my god the soundtrack audio is amazing, probably the best ps game i've purchased. I think the id target for friendly gameplay is kinda neat, before that you just blindly lock and shoot but now having to slow down and analyse the target makes it more challenging and ultimately fit the games final mission where all enemies are now your allies, i had a feeling of relieve during that mission. I think the one thing the story heaviy lack is character development and story, yes we have Count with pretty decent development, but with 3 WHOLE squadrons we've been in, we've pretty much barely had any character development or understanding, most of the characters are pretty much straight and lack deep emotions and are pretty much all discarded at the end and never mentioned again, I hope Ace Combat 8 would focus a bit more on the story, especially the character development, i personally feel that the gameplay mechanic is pretty amazing now, and bring back the old tech tree, i like to save money to buy the planes i want, not having to choose 1 tech tree and pretty much impossible to buy other tech tree in the story mode without heavy grinding.

Hope you take on ace combat x the hidden brother of the PS2 trilogy Or Project wingman the love letter to ace combat by its fans

Did you play Ace Combat Assault Horizons

If the Devs don’t start making More Options Like Multiple Flight Models in Settings Like >Novice = aka StarFox Controls >Normal = regular Lame Arcade Weightless flight physics And >Advanced = Ace3/Ace04/AceX/Ace6 style Flight Physics They Should Do that❤ if they totally Ignore that then I will have Lost Faith and The Blame will go to the FANS for not Acknowledging the FLYING part in this FLYING GAME 🗿

Coincidence that this video is made a few days after the Switch version's announcement?

He is also Belkan - 😐 well that explains a lot

This game was such a blsst that I've replayed the campaign at least 13 times at this point just kinda wish they added co op and team destruction missions to multiplayer just like the ones in AC Infinity Team dogfight just gets old after awhile.

Youre not wrong with the friend or foe targeting control mechanic in homeward and such is bad. It's a fuckign Pain In the Ass for how much you need to hold it. its based on where the nose of your plane is, so if youre straight on its faster compared to flying right past it and Hoping it locks.

Next year we might get ace combat 8

Being a veteran who's played all of the Strangereal games upon release all the way back to the first title (except Infinity and the Japanese AC3, obviously; I only played that one a couple years ago thanks to the fan translation), the only features I'm missing in AC7 are, hilariously, the only good features of AC6. I loved the Allied Assault and Defensive system, although I think it could use tweaking to be a player aid rather than a "delete everything in that direction for me" button. Tied into that, I miss the wingman command system: 5's squadron command was the most fun, but the wingman command from Zero and 6 are acceptable. However, the biggest missing feature is 6's battle zone system: not only did it allow for relatively gigantic battles to be focused down by the player in chunks and contribute to player choice, but it also allowed for deeper connection with allied assets. To this day _Snake Pit_ will always have a place on my high 6 o'clock, I'd happily jump off a bridge for Commander Ford of the _Marigold_ and the punching-up tenacity of _Quox_ Battalion lives on in my heart. It's harder to feel a connection with some blue squares playing out a radio drama while they fire a single missile every couple minutes than it is for characters you regularly rescue, provide support for, and receive support from. That said, whoever came up with the "Go dance with the angels" line is going off that bridge ahead of me along with some concrete. EDIT: Thinking a bit more on it, mission path splitting like AC2 or ACX had would be neat, though that potentially puts more constraints on what can be done with the overarching plot. A system like Japan's AC3 is the gold standard, but...I don't expect to ever see that again.

Well, obviously...

Please, for the love of God, play Project Wingman next! It's an amazing experience, with AC7-smooth gameplay, beautiful graphics, a banger OST, and FULL VR THROUGHOUT! It's 100% worth getting

name of starting music plz

Piece of advice from a long time AC7 player. Do NOT use PSM in mutiplayer dogfights. You will be obliterated by either lasers, railguns, or long-range missiles.

Nintendo just announced a switch version

I always felt like ace combat games didn’t have enough yaw sensitivity for my liking, especially compared to, surprisingly, Battlefield. Battlefield had yaw control tied to a stick separate from pitch and roll. Yaw control in Ace Combat always felt slow which essentially forced all your maneuvers to doing loops over and over.

Bought the game a month ago on PC and the control is shit, PW got better controls than this, so i decided to be a big boy and recently ordered an entry level flight stick, should arrive in 1-2 days, cant wait for the fun to happen

it you like Ace Combat you my want to look in to ,,,,, airforce delta strike,,,,deadly skies 3 this game make you feel like your in robotech only if want the game have 9 to 10 endings per character

I really enjoyed the game. but i feel the variety of missions hurt one aspect of the game. there is no comona or operation battle axe moment. one massive air battle where the tide begins to turn. the penultimate mission is close to that but you cant really enjoy the dog fight knowing a large boss battle will cap off the mission. i loved and 100% the game and dlc, thats just my one nitpick aside from what you said, no co-op. coming off of ace combat infinity thats the feature i miss most.

The only “unknown enemy” mission i hated was the “protect the general one” that one was the only one i hated tyler island was better,

Dude this review is better than IGN's lol

I wish i could fight real pilots instead of drones. theme of 2010s and beyond in any flying fiction

so how was mission 20 having only a 1min to shoot the UAV and guns on the wall plus getting hit from nothing plus force damage plus how fast missions fail if do not play like it a call of duty game ( by the book) look i can do it and did but this game put a bitter taste in my mouth so the only thing that this game have going for it is graphics

I also don't like the ''wait for Identification'' type mission. the Identification requirement is not consisten at all, it took too long to Identify. by the time they finish Identification my VIP convoy is most of time dead.

can it be first person??

and then you have another AC6 with a fires of subtitle.... somewhat a "return to form with a few twists" I just wished you have wingmen thats equivalent to Emmeria's finest in Rubicon.... harsh reality

7's story is a complete mess because of the development hell it went through, resulting in entire scenarios getting dropped or rewritten. It got so bad that at one point NAMCO wanted to outright cancel the game. The DLC's story really helps to redeem the story of the base game at least.

Wow no mention of xbox controller with a controller keypad? best way to go if you want to be meta in pvp

In my mind, I don't hold 7 in high regard; the story is somewhat of a mess in execution, the flight model is on-rails ala AC5 and that's kind of disappointing after seeing what they did in 6 with all the drifty planes (most extreme in the infamous idolm@ster A-10), almost half of the plane list is filled with Flanker derivatives, the devs wasted so much time trying to incorporate weather effects into the core gameplay loop but ends up relegating most of them into gimmicks, the multiplayer is barebones, the DLCs are overpriced beyond believe, etc. It just couldn't compete with it's predecessors in any aspect. There are many things I can whine about when it comes to this game, but I still love it to bits. The missions are just so fun to replay (well, most of them) and since it's release it has become one of my most played game on Steam, even more than Project Wingman which undeniably have the stronger core gameplay mechanics. Because the game is so easy, I can freely use the older planes that I much prefer without hindering my ability to clear missions; this also allows the transition from being challenged by the game's difficulty into "making your own challenges" smoother, as part of the fun is experimentation and optimization of your tactics in missions. The music is one of, if not the best the series has got so far (overall). The DLC missions gave me hope knowing that they still had it in them, so I'm cautiously optimistic for their next game.

i don't understand why people hate the story of this game so much they say it's convoluted and doesn't make sense, but i say they just don't pay attention. it's not convoluted at all

There is coop, but you have to beat the game to unlock it.

Jpeg dog

Where is AC8?!?!

I love the video. Do I have some slight disagreements and I believe that there is much more about this game being connections to all the other games the video is fantastic. If I gave my own review I’m upset the princess has less of a role then she did. I would much prefer much longer cutscenes or different cutscenes that happen at random making you want to replay the campaign for more details and searching. Also The DLC I’m my opinion is better then all of AC7

you can just use cheats and unlock all the jets you want, its not really worth grinding them

A Half-assed “cumback” that Still never received Worthy Updates like insta-Replay In Pause menu, tweaking or upgrading the Replay Angles, as well as SUPERWEAPONS Etc. And of course Any review of this “Return to form” Will be a Boot licking, Over Praising, Simping one 😪

Fun arcade game, but now try DCS.

Got me the game after watching the video, for a hefty discount too. I agree its nearly as good as the old games! I really enjoy it. But by the gods the story is dumb.....

Aside from the fact that it got a PC release, AC7 was a big disappointment for me that doesn't hold a candle to the PS2 titles. Really doesn't leave me with much confidence in the series' future; it's the only AC I've played, that I gave up on before having beaten every difficulty / ace / unlocking everything (I didn't play any of the PS3/Xbox360 era games, FWIW). Starting on a positive note, the visual and technical elements were all good. That's it for positives... The disjointed story has the player lurching from flying with one group to another, failing to establish any of the supporting pilot cast or have the player actually engage with any of them. Having most of the supporting characters verbally abusing you for a large part of the game seems like a terrible decision, and a 'Penal Squadron' is ridiculous even by AC standards. The weather effects are wildly over-exaggerated and universally unenjoyable: Magic EMP lightning? Magically RADAR absorbent clouds? 1400 miles per hours winds pushing your aircraft backwards? No thanks. Probably worst design decision of all though - drones are such annoying and unsatisfying enemies to fly against. The squirrely guns, a forgettable soundtrack, even the different approach to AAA (less damage/much greater accuracy)... my list of gripes rolls on and on. Ironically, for all my complaining, the visual ID'ing of targets never bothered me...

Return to form? Sure, if being vastly inferior to the Holy Trinity is true to form. AC7 is about as good as AC6 but no better. The only thing that's true to form is that it's not like Assault Horizon but the game itself was crap compared to the Holy Trinity.

The characters are a tragedy and forcing the player to bear with them throughout the game turns the into a tragedy story. They didn't kill any of them other than one person because the players would be whooping and hollering in support of the antagonist. Actually they kill off the only interesting one off screen or something, it's not very clear because you have to dodge 50 trillion infinitely re spawning drones while that's happening.

#belkadidnothingwrong

Is it cross platform

"The story was great" ....... /record scratch....... What? I mean, I'm sure it is a fantastic story when you fly over it so high and so fast you don't actually notice any of it. This story was dogs@#t. From start to finish it just kept getting dumber. I'm not sure who had the brilliant idea to make the main character a convict but everything around that when you slightly think about it wrecks the immersion. You know like... A decoy base/flight is a thing... but in reality those planes just fly around to show activity and keep the enemy away... they don't take off and fly at the enemy showing the enemy they have no weapons.... because it would let the enemy know they are defenseless and just wasting jet fuel. Hell the guy banning you from using weapons to stop the incoming attack is actually surprised the enemy he sent you up to fly past is bombing him....... This is a game that is enjoyed with the sound off. Also, worst of all.... the A-10 is a trap.... never fly it. Every mission can't just be what it was supposed to be. Oh a ground attack mission... can't just have that we need to dogfight some super maneuverable drones and your wingmen are absolutely useless... better hope you didn't take ground based special weapons.

Some people are contrarians and want to nitpick, this game is the best revival after a decade of stalling relevance

Loved how you skipped assault horizon without a doubt :D

It disgusts me when people play these kind of games in 3rd person.
