Decent of you, old chap. Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War hits shelves tomorrow; tooling around with that will probably chew up a few days. That said, drop me a line (gamertag: Shadow Firefly) and we can set something up.

Can someone tell me why the cockpit is borderline impossible to hit with a machine gun. I took it down to like 30% health one time, which of course necessitated 50 runs at it. It is so bogus, I am holding the machine gun on the cockpit, even based on the little picture in picture display of my target, and yet it is like "sup dude my hit detection is the size of a pinky toe good luck hitting me".

Attacked that thing from all kinds of angles too, so little success. Basically I haven't been able to progress past that specific point yet, with either the A10 {and its wicked gatling gun} or the Gr4 {uh I guess; the other attacker that is not the F-117}. The Gr4 handles better and is faster, so it is easier to dodge the missiles the damn Aigaion shoots from its phantom, untargetable missile cannons, but its gun is kind of terrible.

gamer tag, pvtskwerl, for the emmerian air superiority!

From the proverbial horse's mouth... more special schemes are inbound. More imagery can be found here.
If I pick up one plane from this pack, it'd be this Flanker mutation...

In before Taco masturbating.

Firefly, did you ever get in on the play with Devs day on Thursday? Me and Tails spent the better part of 2 hours playing with some QA guys and some producers. It was fun.

I like how I just got this game and can play you guys now. I like it a lot.

My copy should arrive any time from tomorrow to the weekend, so I too should be able to join in the fun sometime soon.

So, I downloaded the Miki-Flanker and took it for a couple of spins. Two amusing facts became obvious.
First, the flavor text:

A little research revals that this describes the actual Mikki pretty well, too.
Second, its missiles - both regular and special - have green exhaust trails. This is not true, however, of the rockets.
That said, it was quite fun using it towip the floor with the Aigaion, its escort ships, and all of Strigon (the last with a little help from the others).

Ah, some supreme shit wrecking in multi tonight. That was fun. You got me really good a couple of times there, Firefly. DN also out of nowhere with a pair of really good kills. Should have stuck with the 33 for that match with the randoms though.

My copy has arrivethed. That's three week's in a row a game I've pre-ordered has turned up a day early, sweet. I seemingly have free unlock for the Mobius and Yellow squadron colours according to the outer cardboard slip that is around my copy of the game.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold on a second.

What.

Europe release was November 23. What.

Yes it is/was. Yet another bullshit European release date. Fuck you very much publishers.

Look, I know this thread is old, but I thought this pic alone deserves an "omg"

Woah woah woah woah woah. That's the motherfucking ACE COMBAT 2 FLANKER-D, painted true to the one in the opening cinematic.

I just died and went to heaven.

How do you guys arrange your multiplayer matches? I want someone to play CO-OP with ;_;

And Karasu holy shit that's a fine looking pair of wings.

Most of us hang in #xblive on irc.psigenix.net. If you yell at us enough we'll boot up AC6.
