Aegir Fleet - Strangereal History

Following Erusea’s takeover of San Salvacion and the meteorite interceptor Stonehenge, members of the UTO discussed plans to form a military alliance capable of countering Eruseas military forces. With no sign of Erusea backing down, the newly formed military coalition ISAF carried out an airborne operation to destroy Stonehenge. However, the mission failed and the massive loss of aerial power forced ISAF to evacuate from the mainland to North Point. Despite failed efforts to eliminate the remaining ISAF forces stationed at North Point, Erusea deployed the “invincible” Aegir Fleet in order to deliver the final blow to ISAF.

Something I just realised that made me appreciate the Eruseans a little more: They didn’t try to downplay this or cover it up. I say this because often times, some countries that are more “fanatical”, so to speak, wouldn’t have awarded Torres for his actions. In addition, the mere fact Torres was awarded, and not shunned, by the Navy shows another point, that Erusea doesn’t blame officers directly responsible for the defeat. Torres could easily have been shunned for helping his fellow sailors rather than fight back.

At the risk of being "that guy" and only because it's my favorite plane, the ailerons on the F-4 at 10:30 and again at 12:12 (where the same drawing is reused) are incorrect. The F-4 used a combination of ailerons and spoilers for its roll control. The ailerons primarily moved down, and only had a maximum up angle of 1 degree. Instead, a spoiler in front of the aileron on the wing would rise and provide that control. To my knowledge, this is accurately represented in every Ace Combat game starting with AC04. But now that I'm done being an annoying nitpicker, this video is fantastic as all yours are, and the production quality just keeps improving every time. Incredible, please keep it up!

[@JoeShmoe376]

Patches I recall it’s weird design being described as an “aerodynamic band-aid”. Pilots weren’t particularly fond of it.

[@smittywjmj]

@@JoeShmoe376 A lot of its design was compromise, but that's true for any plane. The most noteworthy "band-aid" in the design are the opposing dihedral wingtips and anhedral horizontal stabilators, which hampered maneuverability and increased drag slightly, but solved the stability problems that early mockups had. The combined spoiler/aileron roll controls were a bit unique but the concept wasn't especially "out there," for example the WWII-era P-61 also used a combination of ailerons and spoilers to roll, with the only difference being that the ailerons had a full upward and downward range of motion. I've never heard of any pilot disliking the roll controls specifically, although they do note that the controls tend to become ineffective at supersonic speeds, and the rudder is used to roll the aircraft instead.

[@moalzaben5554]

@@kram0113 I don’t know if this is true, but maybe after the continental war, Erusea’s started to purchase ships from Yuktobania considering the Aegir fleet was mostly made of western made ships from Osea I presume, so maybe Osea imposed a military embargo on Erusea after the war against ISAF, because of the embargo it seems like Erusea decided to rebuild its navy by mainly purchasing Yuktobanian ships including the submarine alicorn and replaced the Aegir fleet with the new Njord fleet consisting of Russian ships, same thing with the ships stationed at anchorhead. This explains why their navy is made up of primarily of Russian ships by the time of the lighthouse war.

[@phantomwraith1984]

I'd love to know how military manufacturers work in strangereal. Real life: America has the F series of fighters and they made the 4 Iowa battleships. Strangereal: every nation has the F series of fighters and an iowa is owned by Erusea, Estovakia and others. Are the manufacturer corporations just private and sell to the highest bidder? Obviously not state owned like they are in real world

[@lihkan]

THIS! I love strangereal based AC games, but this drives me crazy. I really hope Sol can make video about it. I dont think that corporations work that way in strangereal either. In AC5, Grunder Industries (officially now Osean manufacturer) is *smuggling* planes to Yukes, to prolong the war and arm the aggressor units there. The fact they do so in secret implies that Osea would not allow them to do that if they knew. And in general, the first thing any nation would do would be to block company from selling to their enemies, and later would nationalize said company. Only way for companies to prevent this would be essentialy large private militaries to protect them, which I never heard of (and, once again, the fact that Grunder *does* have some sort of private military is to everyone's shock if I remember AC5 correctly).

[@marrqi7wini54]

I think strangereal is one of those genres that should be explored more in sci-fi. Though I'm curious, what other strangereal properties exist other than ace combat?

[@baronofrhodes1185]

America has zero state owned manufacturing companies... we have contractors, but nothing defense related is directly owned by the government. It's illegal for that here. Still, I always wondered that too. With all the nations being analogous to real world counterparts, how do certain "good guy" and "bad guy" nations have access to real world equipment and weapons not found in their real world counterparts?

[@lihkan]

@@baronofrhodes1185 True, but congress can limit which company sells what to which country, no? I am sure there is a law prohibiting selling F-22 abroad, even to allies, from fears of its superior technology being compromised. But in AC, if it was Osea who developed F-22, they had no qualms about selling it to anybody, which bitten them in the ass in every war ever since.

The weirdest thing about the Torres shot for me is the actual physical impossibility of a Creusot-Loire 100mm L/55 on a Cassard-class even reaching 30 km. At the most optimal angles it could only fire at 17 km before physics dictates that the shell lands. This leads to a couple of possibilities that are rather strange to consider. The first would be that the Eruseans somehow thought it made sense to add rocket-assisted projectiles, however with the increased air pressure of a storm this wouldn't be guaranteed to even reach the 30 km barrier, not to mention that missiles in the VLS are generally better for those ranges. Second would combine with the first reason in that the Herne was noticeably above her target so combined with the rocket-assisted projectiles it would make it possible to land the shot. Third would be that the Herne was retrofitted with a 5 inch L/62 that would be found in US-design ships, but that's more unlikely if taking a look at the in-game model I think. Fourth is that gravity in SR is considerably lower than normal, also leading to lower atmospheric pressure for less drag. However this would imply some very drastic changes in SR's entire geography and contradict the DLC. It's one of those really weird things to think about that keeps me up at night. As for the Tanager, I'd definitely say it's just pure symbolism on top of AC 4 having strong WWII vibes. Back in the day it was common for battleships and aircraft carriers alike to be flagships. It wouldn't be a dumb option either as the RL Iowa was actually armed with missiles in the Cold War. You could load a few dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles on there and some Harpoons, and normally anti-ship missiles are HE-frag because everything is paper, while the Iowa's belt is slightly over 300mm of face-hardened steel. She even had some electronic warfare systems for those pesky missiles as well as Phalanx CIWS because you can put that shit anywhere. The problems would come from how she doesn't have the missile payload of other more modern ships, the lack of a nuclear reactor for when you want to save on fuel, the electronic warfare suite is kinda limited because you can't hook that shit up to a nuclear reactor the Iowa doesn't even have and the logistics cost. That and no torpedo tubes nor even provisions for anti-sub missiles means that she's also vulnerable to submarines. So in the end what you get is a really chunky destroyer that has trouble defending herself. She can take a beating, but the beatings won't stop coming. It's cute to see a relic fight alongside proper modern ships though. Then again since when do SR fleets even remember they have defensive measures up the bum that makes a single fleet a superweapon fight?

Cassard-class has also missiles, so it is possible that he accommplished that with Exocet.

[@plswhy]

@@ANDREALEONE95 While that's the case that would result in the best chance of hitting a target at 30 km, note that Torres's shot is explicitly stated to be a feat of gunnery, not missiles. A 30 km shot with Exocets is also not impressive. In fact it can be argued that 30 km with such missiles might as well be point-blank range relatively speaking.

Great stuff!!

More vids on Ace Combat? Awesome :)

[@skylerrutherford9870]

Oh this brings back so many memories

[@scarecrow108productions7]

2:42 Damn right! And at the bridge of command...is no other than...Captain Mattias Torres.

[@ResidentEddy]

Because of what happened at Comberth Harbor, there was a reason as to why Torres at the point of both the Alicorn's side railguns' destruction commanded: "Focus ALL firepower on Three Strikes; Ignore all other aircraft!!"

[@Direwolf13PS3]

Theme still gives me goosebumps.

[@Rizkyace118]

Ayy... Salvation! It's here! Picture it!!! Poor guy, he (Matias Torres) wasn't always like this though... That encounter with the ribbon as the opposing side... It changes people... It changes nations... How are you doing Sol? I hope you're doing alright. Great work on the video! Enjoying it a lot with this isolation thing going on. I see that you've improved your style even further. Keep it up and stay safe out there! Solutus Eversol, Savior of the Lore, I pray for your success!

[@MrAnimeMilitary]

Yes! Another Strangereal history lesson from Solutus Eversol.

[@kphan4643]

great vid, but yeah im sure aint no one still flying a phantom during this level to sink the fleet lololol . once again great vid!!!

[@roymuerlunos2426]

I like the explanation of the strategy to take put the Aegir Fleet, I never put 2 and 2 together that was what the missions BLOCKADE, and LIFELINE were for. However I feel that less than half of the bombers available at Rigley Airbase were deployed to strike the final decisive blow, and that the ace-in-the-hole "Invincible" Aegir Fleet was not utilized, especially considering the target was well outside of their ADN engagement zone.

With every video, the quality becomes better and better :D

The estovakian navy’s south sea fleet were ordered to fight the emmerian navy’s 2nd fleet to the death, so when the first task group of estovakian warships that came out of the bay to meet the emmerians were sunk infront of the brigade, the 2nd task group behind the bridge were the holding the line and the stovies had an Iowa class battleship wreaking havoc with its 16inch guns on the emmerian 2nd fleet and using its phalanx CIWS to shoot down any emmerian aircraft, but the battleship was eventually sunk with the rest of the estovakian warships making the remainder of the south sea fleet

If were are going back to more practical times Carriers would less teched-out on the inside, thus being able to carry more planes and have the necessary part to undergo repair or serve a hospital, Iowa's have a lot of room, and you will need it for the staff during war campaigns, plus their speed with cover support from naval fighter can enable the commander to get a better view of the engagement
