Ace Combat 4 Mission 8 Shattered Skies

[@xrsphere]

I love the radio chatter in this game.

[@Internetzspacezshipz]

It's better in Ace Combat 5 and 6 since it's a lot more rare to hear the same lines over again. Sorry for necro.

[@lxjoe96]

I like the chatter in this game because it starts to mention you by name later in the story, after you've really developed a reputation. Hearing "Oh God it's the grim reaper" from enemies and "Mobius One's here! We're gonna be okay!" from friendlies is an amazing feeling. Sorry for necro.

The chatter is amazing! I feel like the later games kind of miss the feeling of this one’s radio chatter. That, and Sky Eye is my favorite AWACS. Sorry for the necro.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST FUR BALL I'VE EVER SEEN. I CAN'T CONFIRM KILLS IN THIS FURBALL.

[@smiddyman]

The first time you see that mission briefing "Planes everywhere!". The first time you hear that music "OMG epic guitar!" This mission goes beyond the best in Ace Combat, I'd say it's one of the best video game levels ever.

[@michaelrunkat6115]

this and mission 10 in ACZ : Mayhem. bloody hell those were amazing days

Ace Combat really makes piloting a jet fighter feels like controlling a gundam.

wow I'm 22 and this hits home. I miss my ps2 and my childhood.

[@toddcharles6930]

I understand. It gets more intense as age 50 looms.

I just bought a PS2 and 3 different Ace COmbat games for it LOL cant wait for it to come in!

[@RoundenBrown]

You young AF.

[@kursk_kuku141]

It does! Especially the music!!!

[@callawolf531]

I really miss this era of gaming. I feel like this period really hit perfection when it came to innovation. AC4 felt great for its smooth controls, great music, interesting (but relatively unimportant) story, and great visuals for its time. The PS2 certainly had a lot going for it.

[@nickmyers3681]

This level is what most game creators strive to create their entire lives. Also one of the early missions where you can bag a yellow- “Entering chaos as everyone’s calling out their callsigns. You and your F14 tomcat enter the battle much like the fabled Valkyrie of old immediately switching to your XLAA missiles and letting loose 4 that decimate the first wave of enemy fighters looking to intercept easy prey. Unfortunately for them they became the easy prey. “

[@Guitarfollower22]

This game was amazing. I wish they remade a GOOD one like this but for the Xbox One and PS4.

[@graysonridge4080]

Ain’t nothing more classic flying than this mission in a tomcat. Surely one of my fondest gaming memories.

[@tenjounokaze]

"A Yellow's hit and trailing smoke" - first epic moment of this game. So great to hear. Then even better later: "Got a Yellow!"

[@brandonbryant8027]

Keep the nuggets out of the fight with yellows!

[@asheliahollows7491]

Sometimes there's beauty in simplicity. This was one of the single best missions in any video game. Ever. Because it's just an all-out aerial dogfight with amazing music.

[@welldone4]

you know you're playing a badass mission when the mission is named after the GAME ITSELF.

[@callawolf531]

Or that the game itself is named after this single mission.

1st thing i always did in this mission was chase down the SR-71 then go for the special paint job F-18 east of the combat zone...that like 400pts right off the bat

your a good pilot. i just finished watching your AC zero videos, which i never had. but i remember playing 4,5, and 6 back in the day. brings back so many memories. good times =)

[@LordCybot]

He's really not that good. You'll notice how he hardly ever airbrakes to tighten up his turns and instead full throttles when he's trying to out turn a missile.

[@mofo6907]

LordCybot And he always uses missiles, and never the machine gun.

This was also my favorite mission! Thanks for the upload, this is so nostalgic!

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

This is my favorite mission in the game :) The dog-fighting against the enemy pilots was so much fun.

[@TheHarlan117]

The comic cinematics at the end of these missions were EPIC!

I wish this game could get a remake for the new consoles.

[@OMEGA-gq4xb]

7:06 can't stop replaying this section!🤘

[@SilentVectorX]

Man, that upscaling looks fantastic. But 2 things. Why didn't you go after the Yellow? It would have been way more dramatic. Ditto for not observing the rocket launch at the end. You already had S, why not turn back towards the launch?

[@CobaltZ_hans]

They have plot armor and were basically unkillable until you reached Mission 12 after destroying Stonehenge

[@Gamer88334]

@Joseph Juarez There’s still a reason to shoot at them: hit one and all 5 of them retreat, making the battle slightly easier.

[@mrsaxophone4765]

Yes. You can hit them and if you manage to do it, they retreat. Yellow squadron cannot be defeated so the fact that the enemy manages to land a hit on them scares Erusia a lot. This makes them retreat.

[@WhiteSlift]

8:51 I loved the voice they used for the Erusean bomber pilots. They sound a lot more rough and burly than the fighter pilots, a bit like Pete from Disney.

[@ragman0077]

[@RolfSAMA]

It was also possible to land a hit (not a kill) on a Yellow in this mission & that unlocked unique line in radio chatter.

For extra fun, try this mission with the A-10 Thunderbolt!

[@Starfurexxed]

I remember trying to beat yellow squadron with the a-10 during the farbanti level. Absolute pain.

[@gaizokubanou]

Description states the truth. The music. Mission objective. Everything fits together as perfect incarnation of what is Ace Combat.

[@thereadherring2364]

Coming back to check out this mission again after just finishing Project Wingman. Check out the mission Cold War from that game. 94 enemy planes throughout the entire thing.

[@pleasehelpmeihavestigma4498]

Child me was so fucking euphoric when I witnesed the shiton of planes

[@Blaze1337]

Adult me still thinks it's amazing.

[@SpaceFox93]

I've always wondered what this air battle would look like in real life. Better yet, I wonder if it's possible to recreate this mission in a flight sim game.

[@Groza_Dallocort]

Vinyl_Record in real life modern planes rarely get this close to eachother since missiles are able to target beyond the horizon

[@SpaceFox93]

Yes, I'm aware of that. Real life "dogfights" don't really exist anymore. I was just wondering what would happen if this many modern jets got in such a close range fight.

[@Groza_Dallocort]

Vinyl_Record hectic I would say

[@Gamer88334]

Downside would be that which ever side holds the territory after the battle has to clean up all the debris and maybe even any jet fuel that managed to not get burned up while it was falling. Nobody wants to set their own territory ablaze on accident.

[@twotailedavenger]

Man, this guy's doing it all wrong. Doesn't tag the SR-71 at the beginning of the mission, doesn't attack any Yellows, doesn't watch the rocket launch

Mobius 1!!! Such a great game

[@michaelloctor2243]

"Mobius One Deflect" sounds like theyre talking to an amature that took out so many fighters

[@mrsaxophone4765]

Well Mobius One isnt a great pilot at this point. When he manages to destroy Stonehenge, he becomes really a legend. Also Mobius One is kinda the only hope for ISAF, so they give him as much help they can. Also it is for gamers to advice them in gameplay and make the chat more interactive

[@brandonbryant8027]

We can't confirm kills in this fur ball!

[@briankrasne3518]

I still prefer this over ace combat 7

[@Blaze1337]

Yeah I agree. Seven was fun but the PS2 Era games are just that true peak of gameplay in the series.

[@brandonbryant8027]

Keep the nuggets out of the fight with the yellows!

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

I would use the SU-37 Berkut or the F-15 Active for this mission so I could go after the SR-71.

[@nickmanning2348]

Best Mission of this game!!!

[@goldosprey]

There's only one plane worthy of this mission: *Sees the selection* Time to Rock out

[@djrkcryt2568]

I still have the game, but my ps2 is broken and i wanna play it again

[@Darkphoenix007A]

Dude, if you have missile lock on a Yellow fighter, engage and take the shot. Although you won't get a kill off of it, it will nevertheless boost your prestige among your squadron mates. And ANOTHER THING: You're getting 'buck fever' way too much with the missiles; I've noticed that with not just this video, but with all of them. You don't always have to fire the millisecond you obtain a missile lock. Take the time to develop a good shooting solution (preferably at the target's 5, 6 and 7 o'clock) which will give the missile ample time to track and hit your selected target. This will allow your missile time to make little to no course corrections to home in on the enemy's aircraft.

[@JRDShamrock]

hello there , your capture is soo clean did you use an elgato HD 60 . im trying to capture with Avermedia live gamer portable plus on free mode and i cant get good capture quality . im trying to capture ps1 n 2 games with it but its not working as i expected .

[@Blaze1337]

So this is on my older video so that means it was recorded on a Hauppauge. My newer ones if they aren't stated to be recorded on an emulator I use an Avermedia UC3. In Recentral general settings are 1080p 30MBps BitrateCBR @60fps.

[@serpentcake6850]

Nice, a target worth 150 points! What is it... A yellow... *retargets*

[@Skyfighter64]

You can't kill the yellows in this mission... Even if you hit one with multiple missiles, it just causes the whole group to bug out... Which is of course why I target them as fast as possible when I play that mission.

[@Groza_Dallocort]

At least the KC-10 and E-767 are worth alot of points and are easy targets

[@Jagdpanther226]

Anyone notice that a single enemy at the start escapes?

[@Blaze1337]

Yeah its Sr-71 Blackbird. It is possible to shoot it down but I find it never worth it.

[@viejodelentes6079]

Came here in hopes to find out what I'm doing wrong, and this guy does exactly the same as I'm doing but his missiles do hit the targets...😅 First real hard mission I've ever encountered in an Ace Combat game.

[@Blaze1337]

Are you talking about the first 4 aircraft that I shoot at? If so I think that's just RNG if you hit all 4. I've seen it happen plenty of times.

[@viejodelentes6079]

I'm talking about the whole mission, I was stuck there, but I finally beat it, not sure how though.

[@Blaze1337]

Well you need 800 points and shoot down all the B2 Bombers. Once you do that you wait out the timer.

[@viejodelentes6079]

Yep, the 800 points were my problem, every shot was being dodged, but I got the points real quick somehow after several tries.

+nagachon It's worse that it looks honestly, Sierra Hotel in it's self is 2 words. First Sierra and Second Hotel, Sierra is a mountain range and Hotel is a place to sleep. The part about that is if you done understand Aircraft Slang its lost of people.

[@trineroks]

Sierra Hotel = NATO phonology for "S" and "H", for example: Alpha "A", Bravo "B", Charlie "C", ... Hotel "H", ... Sierra "S", ... Zulu "Z". "SH" is aviator slang for "Shit's Hot", which pretty much means the situation is chaotic.
