7 Ways To Take Down The SOLG - Ace Combat 5

#6 will blow your mind! Or that's what I'd say if I was in the clickbait business - and If I ever am, please end my wretched life.
And for clarification, the bug with #3 is that you only need to destroy two cores for some reason.
Also, I'll likely cut back to a video every two days for a while, as I'm fairly short on time at the moment. I do have something cooking, though - stay tuned.

1: "But Trigger's Different" method 2: *opens Falken TLS mouth* 3: "2 cores destroyed? Guess I'll die" method 4: DEFCON 5: "YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HIT ME FROM THE FRONT!" method 6: 5 but with 100% more TLS 7: *ONE MILLION! ONE MILLION LIVES!*

It's actually not that amazing in AC5, the damage is pretty low - one bomb won't kill tanks, for example. On the other hand, in ACZ... oh boy.

And the Su-37 has it equipped, too. I swear, the speedrun for ACZ is half-Su-37 because of that. FAEB just absolutely destroy the Hresvelgr (XB-0).

The one that blew my mind was #3, I had never heard about that glitch before! And I never thought of #4, despite how cool it looks. XD

[@TugaAvenger]

Actually, Positron spotted that I actually got three cores with the RCL - they got the central core with splash damage. So not that interesting after all :P Gotta say, despite being somewhat vanilla, the TLS struck me the first time I tried it on the SOLG. That's some real STEEL CARNAGE right there.

[@MrLemmy82]

Hah! I'd say getting the central core like that is still pretty cool, qualifies for a spot in this video, at least. :P And yes, that destruction with the TLS feels nice, almost like a reward for unlocking the FALKEN, in a way.

I laughed so hard on Number 2. The whole thing just freaking fell apart right there!

[@thearmadilliestone]

The first can actually be done every plane but the second is always the most satisfying (like those old hot knife videos lol). I've never seen 5 before.

[@MarioMonte13]

I think the hitbox of the tunnel is a bit smaller than the actual tunnel. I've tried flying through the middle several times and there will be several feet of clearance, but it still counts as a crash

[@TugaAvenger]

Indeed. And there's quite a few aircraft that can't fit in at all, most notably the one on the cover.

[@vini__dev]

Really awesome ways to destroy SOLG 😂 loved the last one!

[@branislavradojevic7898]

2:03 M.A.D(Mutually Assured Destruction) anyone noticed that?

[@TugaAvenger]

It's the actual name of it. Mutually Assured Destruction is the theory that if two enemies know attacking will mean they'll be destroyed too, they won't. That's the pillar of nuclear deterrence - you can't use nukes if your enemy has them. Figured it was appropriate for "nuking" the SOLG, lol.

[@HekateMGO]

I never knew there was a bad ending cutscene. :o

[@sylverthefolf7677]

the MOST destructive and quickest way of ending the SOLG is #2

[@jollyg6365]

I never knew there was an opening in the back of the SOLG. When I was a kid I always destroyed it from the back externally.

[@RogueOmega]

OK, with the last one... it looked like the air friction caused two of the core components to spontaneously combust. I wonder: if you destroyed all but one of the core components and then sat on your ass, would the last one get destroyed by the friction, thus allowing you to actually destroy the SOLG using air friction and gravity?

[@delta4093]

I never knew there was a cutscene if you fail 0_0

I'm assuming this is run through an emulator to achieve that kind of post processing, and if so, I was wondering what settings you were using? I'm using PCSX2 myself, and I can't get rid of the artifacting, let alone increase the anti aliasing on my monster rig.

[@TugaAvenger]

I have a setup guide here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKfCq5Vvg7Gde7s By the aliasing issues you mention, I assume you're in software mode. Hardware mode's the way to go - far more efficient resource-wise and allows the improvements you see. One note: unlike what I say in that vid, do go with OpenGL if you're using nVidia - I didn't realize at the time OpenGL's poor performance for me was caused by my AMD card.
