Ace Combat 6 - The fun way to take down the Aigaion

While I agree that this game wasn't quite as good as the PS2 trilogy, I still had a lot of fun with it.
Here's hoping Ace Combat Infinity will at least be just as good as AC6 or better.
Speaking of Infinity, apparently the Aigaion has been renamed to Moby Dick. I guess it does kinda look like a giant whale in the sky.

[@STRIDER_503]

I thought A-10 with napalm bombs was the best way to kill it, but this... looks delicious. A_A

[@mechasaurus]

My dad thought me a genius when I first tried this.

[@KaiCalimatinus]

And then Strigon don't know how to tail a plane so slow and they overshoot, and end up right in front of the brrrrt too. I love the Christmas Miracle A10. Thing floats so beautifully

[@CrescentGuard]

I still laugh like a maniac every time I just nuke a Kottos on entering. "Enemy aircraft on radar, who could this be? What's happening h--" BOOM! Death. Death is happening here.

[@mechasaurus]

Jesse Cox is doing a playthrough of the Ace Combat games. I hope he uses this loadout on Aigaion, should he play the 6th game.

[@grantperkins6762]

Glad I'm not the only one who figure out how to put the RCLs to good use here. Made this mission so much easier than I imagine it was supposed to be...

[@particularace_1801]

Grant Perkins i also use RCLs

[@AceTheToaster]

I figured it out when I was 8 but that was the A-10

[@Scorponox93]

A-10 with FAEB is the most fun way to do this mission

[@AonghasMcTavish]

Antoni Zajac yes!

[@SleepyPopups.Unedited]

It's like using the FAEB on the Hresvelgr

[@johnlove3461]

ah, the Su-35 Flanker featuring Yellow Squadron's paint scheme, well played. best way to kill Aigaion is using RCL's

[@ablackbunny3149]

john love isn't it a Su-33?

[@ablackbunny3149]

Yellow squadron Does use su-37s. But this is in ace combat 6, where there are no su-37s or su-35s.

[@trainknut]

The Flanker in AC6 is the Su-33, which makes sense as only the Strigon team use it, and it is a carrier fighter variant.. The one in AC-4 used by Yellow Squadron is the Su-37, which externally looks very similar to the 33, but lacks the ability to land on carriers.

[@Wilson2005WAW]

This graphics of this game looks realistic.

[@DonVigaDeFierro]

Even for 2007, AC6 has beautiful graphics.

[@cuyospartan02]

2007 was an awesome year for timeless graphics. Halo 3 for example

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

Don't forget Burnout Paradise, 2008 technically, but graphically it still blows me away. Still find it silly the "remastered" it, like it already looked great!

[@nighthawkf1174]

@@scottthewaterwarrior the remaster is even better. also, tbh, the while the gameplay graphics on AC6 are amazing, the cutscenes, are Bad. real bad. Love the game still, but god the cutscenes really need help

[@tktxlegend4540]

They are, but after playing AC7 I can't help but notice how washed out and grey the sky is in the majority of the levels in AC6. Sometimes it's grey, or maybe a brownish grey, maybe a blueish grey... I believe one level has a greenish grey sky too if I remember correctly.

[@LOLMAN9538]

For me, I always use the Su-33 with the Estovakia SP paint and RCL loadout.

[@Jose_Roberto77]

I took it down with the F15 using Guns to destroy the engines

[@kiros2032]

Very nicely done indeed! I love flying through it as the Strigon Squadron starts to take off, such a rush. The gameplay looks very smooth, a lot more than on my 360...am I making this up?

[@josharuni547]

This game was so good that it trumped 7. Wish they had a remaster or a sequel to this (not seven). Being Able to control the whole squad, great squads. Great lore. *chef Kiss*

[@stardestroyer0019]

SU-47 with UGB is similar to this. A single UGB can take out a whole engine block, so you can get a lot of TGTs destroyed in a short amount of time. The RCL is probably more efficient overall, but UGB makes me feel like a dive bomber.

[@CGJ7755]

Can someone explain how his friendlies and wingman are able to shoot down the strigons? I play this mission and absolutely none of them are competent enough to even hit them.

[@Sp56k]

Use your allied support commands. I think the game only mentions it once when played for the first time. Basically hold the D-pad up or down depending on if you want your allies to missile spam enemies in front or behind.

[@Mx64MaxyImpress]

Looks like this is the only time Rocket Launcher is damm useful especially destroy those engines exhaust

[@TheChopstyx]

Ace combat 7 would have been worlds better if count had been your wingman and you could have tasked him with either covering you or attacking targets. Not to mention having the ability to call allied attacks.

[@ollikoskinen1]

It would have been nice to issue command to your squadron after you get free from the Spare Squadron and get assigned to Strider, when you become Strider 1.

[@shogun1x]

This is probably my favorite ace combat mission. I used to play this all the time with my own background music. Galneryus - New Legend. Syu's badass guitar shredding and Yama-B on the mic while I take down this fuckin behemoth. The sheer awesomeness actually brought a tear to my eye.

[@officerrodfarva8149]

I can vouch, the unguided rockets are the way to go on this mission

[@darthvader0219]

The only thing that I don't like about the Aigaion is how it's powered by conventional jet fuel. In real life, aircraft carriers are powered by nuclear reactors and they are only around 300 meters in length, shouldn't a 900 meter airborne aircraft carrier be nuclear powered or at least use a source of energy that doesn't require refueling. And did that ship really explode 6:30, shouldn't that ship be able to crash into the ground in one price

[@fellout2555]

The whole design just looks impractical to me, as well as how frontal sensors fail during refueling, and the seeming lack of weaponry leaves it far too vulnerable, even with strigon defending it

[@minecracktyler]

my god thx now i can beat this mission

[@NotSoMelancholy]

Hot Take, I wouldn’t have been mad if AC7 looked like this but just had, higher quality textures, anti-aliasing, an extremely long render distance, higher resolution and smooth frame rate.

[@alyoshathedorkknight6110]

Ace combat 6 was peak

[@mistertaz94]

Ac6 had amazing gameplay held back by less than stellar writing. Which is a shame because barring the actual writing it was a great game

I know I’m 6 years late, but I just wanna say, this is by far the fastest way to take down the again. If I’m doing a speedrun on any differently, this is the only mission I’m NOT using the cfa-44, rather using the su-33 with rcl’s

[@Sam_Aconitum]

FAE bombs is good on killing big air targets too i did not tried using it on SOLG and arkbird....
