48400 Score in Long Day - Ace Combat 7

GOTTA GO FAST
A hectic first half followed by a mad dash for respawns. The latter isn't particularly thrilling, but when chasing high scores, even the slightest opportunity for optimization can draw sweat. Do wish it didn't boil down to that, though, but I suppose it's to be expected of an early mission.
Such is the need for speed that the Foxhound beats the PLSL overlord, the Su-57. With the A-10 for Cape Rainy Assault, that makes two very unlikely candidates that wound up being the optimal aircraft for their respective missions.

Apologies for the reupload, it was completely stuck at 360p. Also, because my editing software has been washing out the color in my videos, I've had to overcorrect contrast/brightness in the preview window, and hope the render comes out as I want it. It's been working well... but not with a sun as bright as this one. Whoops!

Ace combat x menu music.. good old days

[@rocketpunchgo1]

Pardon me while I loop into the tunnel

[@TugaAvenger]

It was a tricky one because of the timing. I wanted to take care of the enemy aircraft at range with the PLSL *before* taking the tunnel, because I'd come out in the middle of a dogfight. The problem is I could never predict when the Gripens went active, so I had to always maneuver there at a moment's notice.

AC2 came out years earlier, you know, so it should be that JA is the remix.

[@TugaAvenger]

He means the copies *in* JA, he's not calling AC2's tracks copies. And no, because I don't actually have the JA OST, and to be honest I only realized that right now.

He did say "copies from", so it sounded like that. It has admittedly been years since I touched JA.

[@killman369547]

+Jurgen Nolte. do you not see the MG ammo counter? it had 2400 rounds, why is that significant? because the MG ammo counter only shows an ammo count on a hard or ace run, on easy or medium you get infinite MG ammo. so even if you don't believe it's an ace run this fact alone makes it a hard run bare minimum (i personally take tuga at his word that it's an ace run but that's just me)

"The murderer's done it again!" Time to see what kind of possibilities the PLSL ammo buff brought to the Foxhound! Lode Stone?! Two seconds in and I already know I'm in for a treat! And then you just pursued with the AC2 theme, the switch from El Dorado to Fire Away was on point, and then you went ahead and even added the good old Completion! I wasn't sure what you'd do with the debriefing, but turns out A Fresh Youngster was a great way to round out that rocking carnage. "This isn't even a fight!" I agree with Champ, that was no fight, you just massacred those UAVs, and the planes that came after them, and all the targets that were there before as well!
