>max out Mig-21>it still flies and handles like a boat.what the fuck
>>586336405>200 base cost plane flies badlyhow can this be???
They really upped the acronymdropping in some of these aircraft descriptions
I tried out the Double Trigger mod earlier and it works unreasonably well for what it was (better than ACO (pic not related because I forgot to screenshot gameplay))
>>586336786>mod is called double trigger>mod creator is a trannoid who uses the term wingmatei assumed it was a double nigger joke at first lmao
>>586336485sometimes you don't want to fly the berkut. sometimes you want a cheap junker to pvp in.
>>586337214>berkut>PVPing in a multirole
Knight>I took two limitless pills to limit myself!Soldier>They ask me to shoot, I do it. I have no character!Mercenary>I got to where I am today through violence! I'm thankful for it!
>>586337214>cheap junker flies badlyhow can this be???also it's not even cheap because they fucked up and gave it mid tier costs because the online devs suck at their job
>>586336405it has all the aoa you can getthat's it
>>586337858Solly Cipher is like, the strongest MC in the entire AC timeline right? That's just AI with human smarts, not even Nemo can match him.
>>586333108I think you're reading too much into the speech patterns.Real AI agents actually do this, if two of them speak over the phone they negotiate a lower-level language that's more efficient for their data transfer than continuing to simulate human speech.The Ravens are supposed to have a human operator communicating with other forces on their behalf. The transmissions are gibberish because they're pure drone data stream and you don't have the software to read it.The Triumphant is meant to be entirely autonomous and thus needs to communicate with other forces by itself. It just speaks Belkan because it's incomplete and using Belkan engineer default speechCorpo nerd's chatbot in AC7 is already fully speech-capable.
>>586338783Triumphant's speech sounds more Nordic to me. It's those Nordennavic bastards running the show.
>>586339598worse -- it's Wellow
do you get a cheevo for pillar-onlying fatsia?
>>586338783>Real AI agents actually do this, if two of them speak over the phone they negotiate a lower-level language that's more efficient for their data transfer than continuing to simulate human speech.I actually agree with you, and think that's it exactly.But I still think it represents an "evolving" AI. The Ravens communicated exclusively with each other, Triumphant seems to be talking with itself or with its Enso handlers, and who knows about what 9's AI will do.
>>586340119There's a medal for destroying an arm entirely through direct pillar damage instead of bombs or chain explosions.
fuck it i'm just flying the f14d if i really want the team dead
Had a look at a replay, I think your WSO actually head-tracks your target in a dogfight.
It would have been better if your WSO was a character and was one of the possible answers to the 'who is the fifth wing?' question.
Is there a way to get the replay files as a video format for normal humans? The ingame player can't even smooth seek, only skips entire chapters.
Am I missing something with the whole ESM vs IEWS thing? Every time I've gone up against one of those turbofaggots in EA-36 my ESM keeps getting overpowered.
4chan.Another number.
>>586342018ECM/IEWS beats ESM. But you can use your ECM to counter their IEWS so neither of you can shoot, and then turn your ESM on once that ends so you get a small period of buffed missiles that actually work.The design of EW in multiplayer is not great.
Who's got that pic of rex with the I <3 sotoa sweater?
>>586340510I've already farmed that mission a few times. Just now, I took that advice and went solely for the pillars.It's actually crazy how much more efficient this method is, I had the map cleaned up well before the countdown.
>>586342549there it fucking is, got the order wrong. Still mulling over investing in the growler tho.
>>586342960Invest in neither until we see what the coming nerfs will do
what's your successful/aborted matchmaking ratio looking? I'm at 0/11 since I logged in, shit's ridiculous
>>586342960As someone who owns both the Growler and the Barricader, I regret owning both. The Growler's a better buffslut 60 general blueprints in but the Barricader handles better and can slot a single (disappointing) special weapon alongside IEWS. But EW's MSL only gameplay isn't rewarding for me, and shitting on opponents with ESM sucks because dogfighting in warfare is gay. At least I can do EW only weeklies but fuck man, if I could refund my unlock investments I'd do it in a heartbeat.
>>5863433340/13 now, why the fuck don't they just put bots to fill up the disconnected players' spots??
>>586343334Yesterday I had more Scrambles via open parties than I did Assaults that actually started.
I almost brought my Growler to Alicorn to level it up,but I totally realized that ESM only buffs missiles. Yup, totally
>>586343964Buffing your Attackers' missiles is still very good
>>586340370Triumphant is just announcing its actions to allied forces, the same way pilots announce their missile launches. The Ravens don't do this because it's the hypothetical responsibility of their human operator or AWACS.
>>586343964>>586344108I swear I've had my Eagle's SpW buffed by ESM, but maybe it only works on A2A missiles.
>>586344108It kinda pales in contrast to a knower skullfucking the alicorn with overlapping SFFS bombs.
>>586344301Judging by Growler's level 20 ability's buffs, ESM affects both standard and special missileshttps://ac8-database.pages.dev/online/abilities/#ability-262
>>586342913here buddy
>>586345021bonus Ellington "Total Nomad Death" Baxter.
So, what should I invest in next? >F-14D, F-15C, F-4E, Pixy at 20>F-14A, Su-47, Su-34 at 15>EA-18G at 10I'm tempted to get a Rafale, but that's only really good for Assaults which are boring as fuck.
Gripen bros, what parts are you running on it for multiplayer? You have a good unique speed ability, so I thought about investing in speed parts, but I haven't had that much luck. Are flaps + superior maneuverability 1 and 2 the way to go? running LAAMs and SAAMs of course.
>>586345021Cheers
>>586345408I thought the BROS engine part was grossly overtuned in Online, despite being a 1 star part?
>>586345408forgot to add that i guess i'm looking to counter f-22 and mig QAAM spam since those are beating me in dogfights handily. probably a skill issue on my part, but wondering what could help even the playing field
>>586345269I'm assuming that you're using the F-4E for Chandelier and Arsenal bird. I think that the Su-25 is worthy of investment. Its gunpods are significantly more potent vs chandelier than the F-4, and its SFFS bombs are excellent vs alicorn. The F-15E IMO is better vs alicorn since it has the same SFFS bombs but a much better airframe, but the F-15E's expense isn't something that I recommend lightly.
Assault became so much comfier after I realized winning or losing doesn't matter, and me screwing around doesn't screw my teammates from being MVP
>>586345269Su-34 only gets better and better, but you're basically at the level cap for the F-15E anyway and it'll be the same number of gold blueprints to max out either. The F-14s and F-4 are pretty cheap to take to level 20, F-15C's a solid SASM slinger that also gets HCAAs for missile spam. Berkut might be one of the best multiroles along with the Rafale; UGBs are always relevant and it's got the speed to use them, and SAAMs are surprisingly dangerous. Pixy gets you some cool nicknames if you keep playing them. Growler's the EW experience in a nutshell, if you like it you like it; taking it all the way to 20 makes it a better buffer/debuffer than the Barricader.
