Tournament of Aces, Pt. 2 - Top Gun, Project Wingman, Ace Combat Epic Medley - Lucas Ricciotti

the audience

@@justincase9033 I Agree, Our Ears have won.

the main character

it's the soul my friend, the soul responds to what it deems as beautiful. To my soul, and the soul of everyone here who has seen this, you are the winners, because every loss you have ever felt before, feels washed away when you hear this theme.

🙌🏻☁️

And then on mighty wings, we went to the danger zone.

And the showdown of kings

Poetry my guy

And The Belkan War!

“Monarch, your callsign is Hitman 1 of Hitman squadron.

"Cipher, your callsign is Galm 1, You will be leading the Galm squadron"

Phoenix your callsign is Scarface one and you'll be leading Scarface Squadron

"Edge, your callsign is Ridgeback 2 of Ridgeback Squadron."

Meanwhile, in Belka... Big giant flying fortress thing that's known to be 'unfallable' : I'm fucked, am I?

Ok so question: Why is everyone using “AWACS Legacy”? I haven’t heard of the character in canon, and if he/she’s not canon, then why do I hear about them a ton in the comments?

@@KateOfFate Simple. "Legacy": Something that endures long past when a person is gone. Their mark on the world. AWACS: Someone that alerts pilots to stuff. AWACS Legacy: Someone telling pilots about those who came before, and what they left for the future generations.

dont forget he took out 2 advanced jet with an old jet

@@K3ntucky123 I wouln't neccesarily call the SU-57 a 5th generation Jet as it still uses the same engines as the SU-35 flanker

@@marseldagistani1989 It's less about the engines and more about the avionics and design of the aircraft itself, while it has the distinct agility of a 5th generation air dominance fighter like the F-22, and the inclusion of an internal weapons bay, its RCS is considered sub-par to be considered for stealth. Key design flaws include the direct-flow inlets, which do not mask the spinning turbine blades that produce massive RCS frontally, a lacking abundance of RAM (Radar Absorbing Paint, which is standard for U.S stealth aircraft and is included on the J-20 to a similar degree), and the lack of an Indium-Tin Oxide coating on the canopy (It's what gives the F-22 and F-35 canopies their distinct golden color, and even China has seemingly accomplished this with the J-20 while the Su-57 has not). Don't get me wrong, the Su-57 certainly HAS some stealthy characteristics, but it's not quite enough for me personally to consider it a 5th Generation, and more of a 4++ / 4.5th Generation air superiority fighter. I think a good comparison is South Korea's KF-21. Similarly, it has an abundance of stealth-design characteristics (In particular, it looks a lot like a downscaled F-22), but it lacks certain things to make it a 5th gen, instead staying 4.5th gen; from first glance it fits right in with the stealth fighter design club, but it lacks an internal weapons bay, so it must carry all its ordnance externally, bringing its RCS back up if it runs anything other than a 'naked' loadout, or goes Winchester for all external ordnance in the middle of a battle. A smaller note is that the build quality of the Su-57 has been questionable to say the least with some photos circulating around, and some of the compromises made to get Felons made at all has resulted in some truly interesting (and absolutely RCS-compromising) solutions.

To be fair, Maverick doesn't have an unbreakable plane and immunity to G-forces. I'm afraid that converting Maverick to the AC universe could have unexpectedly terrifying results

Just another day of job for an ace pilot.

Man, where?

@@rns_nickitoloko_psn5775 5:40 i think

@@tytoalbasoren9457 nah that's The man, The legend/touchdown from the original soundtrack. Not the Lady Gaga music

@@rns_nickitoloko_psn5775 I think it's 1:25

Maverick

I haven't played project wingman. How good is it? And how hard are the bosses? I might give it a shot

@@feston4032 Overall, it’s a pretty fun game. Not as much Special Weapon variety, but you can take multiple with you on a mission. Controls feel smooth and soundtrack is full of bangers. As for bosses, they’re not too bad, but can be tedious at times. If you’ve played AC7, most are like Mihaly, but a little easier. Again, very fun game overall and I highly recommend it.

@@badger_cow5477 so the boss are like nerfed Mihaly. Also I've played AC7 and did beat it on Ace several times

@@feston4032 Yh it’s a good play. Picked it up on game pass a while back and for a small indie game it’s great. Worth the price especially since the only other game on the market like it is well AC and Hawks and we don’t talk about Hawks

@@bobthebigblobboi5789 no Hawxs

Imagine this RU-vid video's music score used in a music video depicting the Mecha you mentioned in combat.

Considering the VF-1 is explicitly based on the F-14 and the XFA-27 in Ace Combat is very similar to the VF-11 thunderbolt, it really all does come back to Top Gun and the Tomcat.

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

it's really hard to find rare gems like this dude in the platform

That's amazing! I wish you the best 🙌🏻🔥

Blessed be your days, fair be your seas and clear be your skies.

Fly high, fly fast, fly hard and then fly home. May your skies be always dark blue, your fuel tank full and may your wings never fail to bring you home.

It's one of the best orchestral performances I've ever seen.

This just radiates my love for jet games that started with project wingman

Insert "Don't call me that" line. :P Joking!

Glad you liked it!

Or remake of Ace Combat Zero

These characters just bounce off each other so well, good job! :)

Ok thats cool but where is my sandwich

Mee to DCS🤣😂

Glad you liked it!

@@LucasRicciottiMusic please make full version of Mihaly Theme

I will 🔥🎻

@@LucasRicciottiMusic How about Hush or Daredevil ?

@@cold_highdagger5455 magic spear I

@@LucasRicciottiMusic I’ll be waiting

Glad you enjoy it!

Glad you enjoy it!

Three giant looking B2 bombers? Aren't you meant Orgois?

yes :(

I made another track with Top Gun,. It name is "Aces in The Bar"

Thanks! Will do!

Crimson 1 accidentally nukes everyone lol

Mihaly in there, too

They 'made' him do it​! @@ryon5174

Thank you!

It'd be a godsend to see a Ghosts of Razgriz or Wardog Squadron F-14 flying, hell, it'd be a godsend to see *any* non-Iranian F-14 flying

Sorry to be that guy but the ghost of Kyiv doesn't exist. He was likely a compilation of the efforts of several pilots combined.

@@AJ-tr5ml We’ll never really know anything about the Ghost of Kiev other than the story passed around. Real or not his story is important for it represents the embodiment of the Ukrainian fighting spirt, its a story they need right now. His story is worthy for the Pantheon of Aces along with Trigger, Talisman, Blaze and Mobius before him. Thats why Lucas Ricciotti wrote a score inspired by him on this channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s0v9BecHoYw.html

Thank you very much!

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

Thanks for listening! 🙌🏻

Hey it’s the great ace combat guy

The fact that PW is being some people's first jet game is a surprise, considering it was made by AC fans originally for AC fans, yet somehow got its own separate fandom too is something else.

Thanks!

Another thing, the start of the piece feels ripped out of How to Train your Dragon, and I love it.

Thanks!
