Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception - Mission 7B: Standoff in the Skies II

[@Sapheiorus]

Gotta say, that would have been the sickest post-stall maneuver ever if the Gleipnir had managed to fire the shock cannon.

The Gleipnir captain is clearly a fan of Matias Torres.

[@vmxkarelyn_0842]

Sorry I'm late but allow me to enlighten you : With that huge of a plane and that mass, loosing nearly all its engine power will cause a stall and limits maneuverability. If it's near impossible to pilot a 4 engineed bomber with one engine functional, then it's definitely impossible to control the gleipnir in such conditions.

@@vmxkarelyn_0842 How did Gleipnir manage to fly for some time with less than half of its engines operational and even perform a PSM?

@@Dan-379 this is like 8 months old lmfao. Anyway if you're talking about that one glepnir submission where you have to destroy the shock cannon before it reaches the city, that is anime logic :D

Back then when I was 7-8 years, this mission scarred the living shit out of me because of the Background music, the dialogue and the setting of the mission. Still it was a Great mission.

[@TugaAvenger]

God, all the nostalgic comments I've been getting on my videos are making me feel old. I was in my teens then...

[@LtCWest]

@@TugaAvenger Be me, le 19 years, drafted into the army in 2009 for a 6 months tour of duty, boared as fuck during long guard shifts. Discharged Recruit sells his PSP to me, I buy ACX right the next day. Probably the one of the best decisions Ive ever made. By the end of the tour, I had beaten all missions at ACE with S, even 7C. Dear god, 7C was a punishment for all my sins...

[@AICW]

The story definitely needs a rewrite to make it more compatible with AC7's plot.

​@@AICW why though? This happens after AC7 and on the other side of the damn planet.

[@MinusTheRogue]

dude you were about two centimetres away from the gleipnir's wing :p

[@DMSwordsmaster]

It's strange just how... _jarring_ how different in tone 7B is to 7A. 7A? The Gleipnir is damaged, the captain acts like an idiot, and the music is almost goofy as you shoot him down. 7B? You've got that fucking Midnight Sun theme playing, and the captain instead acts downright depraved, wanting to practically nuke a city full of civilians just to get one in at Aurelia before he dies. Fucking hell.

[@TugaAvenger]

Suppose it tells your how disheartening the crippling of the Gleipnir was in Midnight Sun. Whereas with an intact Gleipnir, Leasath feels nigh invincible and prepared to take the battle to its direst consequences, without the missiles, depression and desperation take over.

[@cakbud99]

The best part of this game is when the Glepnir tries to fly upside down and use the shock cannon lol

Gleipnir > Arsenal bird because it can stealth on top the Arsenal bird then activate shock Cannon to destroy Arsenal bird below the Gleipnir itself.

[@capt.heinrich6945]

@@Project_VideoGame the Arsenal birds shield is vulnerable to heavy weapons like stone henge so it may work.

[@CrystalKingdomGeneral4942]

​@@leyvonnewashlv4096There is nothing that can confirm the SWMBs of the Gleipnir is comparable in raw power to Stonehenge. Maybe, but nothing confirms it. That being said, I'm not sure if the Arsenal Birds can actually shoot the Gleipnir down. It does also have its own long-range high-explosive airburst missiles in the form of Helios, but as for how it would detect the Gleipnir before it enters it's SWBM launch range, well, yeah.

What I like about this certain boss is that you have a mission to where you'll force it to flip itself to use the shock cannon on you. which is funny xD
