From what I've seen in the demo, he certainly acts competent.

Yeah, from the impressions I've seen so far from the ACZ demo, he's leaps and bounds ahead of the wingmen in 05, to the point where the guy says he simply tells him to use special weapons and sends him off... and he actually uses them effectively.

Though he's bad-ass simply going from what the solo-wing part of his name means.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Whoops, looks like Namco forgot to pay Famitsu off like Square did for FFXII.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Alright, so I went out yesterday and bought AC04. I'm a couple of missions in.

Pretty dope so far.

I also like the narration and animation stills. Very nice stuff.

Can someone tell me why I would ever want to land manually when I return to base to re-arm. Is it just for fun, or will this skill be important later on?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Megalith · Mar 19, 2006, 04:39 PM

Landing is only relevant in AC5, because you get a medal for doing so.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Landing is in there to make you hate Top Gun that much more for having the hardest landing/in-air refueling system ever.

Stealth · Local time: Mar 19, 2006, 11:26 PM

Jane's F-15 wins that. Though I have a feeling Falcon 4.0 will be worse. (Nevermind that AC04 doesn't even have mid air refueling)

Timberwolf, landing let's you re arm your plane. Though if you're playing on Easy, I don't see how you'd ever need to.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey buddy, I dare you to do a Falcon 4.0 flame out landing on highest realism rating and land the bird without breaking any part.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm playing on Normal.

I know the point is to re-arm the plane. But the game gives you the option to press "Start" and skip the landing sequence. I was just wondering about that.

Right now, I am on Operation Bunker Shot.

Stealth · Local time: Mar 19, 2006, 11:52 PM

Oh, probably because people suck at landing.

There's nothing to be gained by landing (or taking off for that matter) in AC4. It's basicly just a waste of time, which is why they give you the option to skip it. In AC5 however there is a medal to be earned by succefully clearing all landing and mid-air refueling 'missions' within a certain timelimit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks Megalith and seanne.

I've been skipping the landing sequences, after doing them for the first couple of times. Now whenever I return to base to re-arm, I'm just amped to get back out there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Spatula · Local time: Mar 20, 2006, 11:36 AM

It'd suck to have a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED and then having to manual land right after, then CRASHING, MEANING YOU FAILED MOBIUS ONE!

Yeah, thank god for the option of skipping the sequence. Landing isn't very difficult, but a lot is riding along with landings. I'd like to try to take off sometime but not pull up at the end of the runway.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Rock · Local time: Mar 20, 2006, 09:02 PM

I hope the manual take-offs and landings will be a lot harder next time around.

I'd love to see them being mandatory, challenging and plot-relevant. Starting in the midst of a battle, landing safely with a damaged plane, landing on a carrier in bad weather and the like ...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's possible to fail at landing?

Megalith · Mar 20, 2006, 02:07 PM

I heard a rumor that you could crash your plane in the process.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Timberwolf · Mar 20, 2006, 02:09 PM

seanne is saying it isn't possible to fail a mission despite crashing a landing.

Because there is nothing riding on these landings at all.
