You can actually accelerate this mission and disjoint the music from it. By destroying the laser on FIRST pass of the arsenal bird. Very doable with 8AAM and maybe with HPAA increased damage part.

[@wrapdump]

So I pretty much exclusively use the F14 in AC games, I'm an 80's kid and I just find it absolutely stunning. I've unlocked the F22 etc and struggle to chase good scores etc in the F14, but when it comes to the drama of Ace Combat's story, the underdog fights, the emotional weight of the triumphs...it just heightens the feeling of prevailing against the odds when you're in an old, crap, awesome plane. Fighting the sluggish controls as you struggle against all the drones, Mihaly, the Arsenal Birds, in a plane designed in the 60's, huge old engines screaming, control surfaces groaning, wings sweeping back as the afterburners kick in...and then this song just makes it.

F22 and SU47 my favourites usually Then I play through the game on the newly unlocked high difficulty or just on the highest using whatever plane is most 'canon' to the pilot: F15C for Ace Combat 0, F14s for Ace Combat 5, the F16 > F15 > F22 mix for AC7, so on. For the AC0 playthrough I even made it a full S rank with the 15, which honestly wasnt too hard, the only hard bit was Avalon because of the needing to turn back in the canyon repeatedly

[@tktxlegend4540]

@@skeletonwguitar4383 We're perfectly fine with our crayons lol In all seriousness though, the Marines have their own Air Wing. All the air support the ground Marines get is from fellow Marines in the air. Think of it like the Army Air Corps in WW2. The Marine Corps has it's own Air Corps, just like the Navy has it's own Air Corps, and many argue that the Navy pilots are actually the best in the country. The Air Force's mission is to support the Army. The Navy has it's own Air Corps that supports its fleet. The Marines have their own Air Corps that support their ground troops. The Marines like to do things themselves and not rely on outside help too much. Outside help slows things down. If you want something done, and you want it done right, you do it yourself.

[@hirumaryuei]

@@tktxlegend4540 Not going to totally dispute this but as a fellow Marine I have to say that a ton of Marine CAS comes from F16s flown by the Air Force and very little of it is Harriers or Marine Hornets or F35s. A fair bit is supplied by Cobras of course, but the USAF is still one of the Marine Corps' biggest providers of close air support. When I was in country, the most common combat aircraft to see flying overhead were Falcons and Cobras. Of course, everyone's mileage may have varied and the USAF also provided plenty of CAS from the A10 as well.

@@TheGamingKiller242 Don't get this twisted, but I get the feeling you went in having super high and unrealistic expectations of the game, expecting it to surpass or match the holy trinity. Nothing wrong with that, but it can make you disappointed when you finish it. I would have done some things differently as we talked about before but as for me, I was more obsessed with the world building and lore coming from lore dense franchises like star wars and halo. I'm just a lore nut in all honesty. It was a fun ride, I enjoyed it a ton especially after waiting for the damn game since I was in fucking high school.

[@TheGamingKiller242]

@@JokingSteak I would day you're wrong, but I wouldn't say you're right, I didn't expect the game to surpass the holy trinity, but what I did expect to happen is get close to 4 (sorry 4, I do like that game but I always use it as the odd one out of the holy trinity) I expected a quality soundtrack, though given 6's, and assault horizons soundtrack, that was probably a bad idea, I expected more more than half the songs to be unique music, not remixes of the main theme. Don't get me wrong, the main theme is amazing. But by the time it plays as hush, in the final mission, you've heard it 9 times. (No lie, I did the counting). Again, after 6, and most of assault horizon, I should have expected a bad story, but I didn't. This story was so cringey, and so bad, that I will probably never watch any of the cutscenes again. I expected a large amount of fan service, which again, we didn't get. Which we should have. And finally. I expected Mihaly, to be more than a plot armored, scripted fighting, pushover who runs away in less than a couple of minutes, or gets shot down in the same time frame, if not less. He is pathetic, lazily written. And extremely forgettable.

I love how in this game, the Erusions developed and focused on cyber warfare and drones, instead of the use of a super weapon. It's like they knew that a super weapon would only be destroyed by another top ace pilot. So they instead focused on improving the Z.O.E ai by using flight data from the ace killer Mihaly, banking on the idea that mass produced advanced drones would overcome any top ace, even mobius 1.

[@Smokecall]

Well if the history of strangereal is anything to go by, superweapons only work in a first strike situation, afterwards they are large targets too big to project against a surgical counterattack once the enemy knows where to hit

[@spartansilverteam]

Would you consider the Arsenal Birds super weapons though?

[@Smokecall]

@@spartansilverteam they are automated armored flying aircraft carriers with alright anti air defense. In a sense they are what an actual aircraft carrier represents to a small nation in the real world. You think you got control of the skies then this weapon system rolls in and pretty much swarms your aerial superiority while being rather difficult to truly hit without killing yourself. Granted the drones the arsenal bird are given seem to lack bombing and personnel insertion and extraction capabilities but it's still a fairly considerable piece of military power projection to reckoned with

We'll see. What I can say is that Kobayashi hasn't lost his touch one bit in the last 8 years. Yes, I know "ZERO" is usually considered the best, but "Unsung War" has far more emotional weight for me. Although "ZERO" is not far behind (plus, I'm from Spain, so the Flamenco-like style of the track is definitely a bonus lol). Oh, and even though it's on the last spot, I still LOVE "Dogfight".

But really, I think it's up there with the best of them. I haven't been able to stop listening to this for at least half an hour a day for a few weeks straight.

[@Exkhaniber]

It took a while to grow on me as well, but only because thematically this feels like it was supposed to be the actual last mission of the game. Meanwhile, it's mission #19 of 20, and #20 is a bit lackluster. I feel it might have served the game better to take the second-half of mission 20 (chasing after the small drone into the Lighthouse) and paste it onto the end of this mission, and ended it there. Or heck, I hate to say this because I know "flying through a narrow tunnel at the climactic end of the game" is part of the Ace Combat trademark, but maybe the game would have been just a little bit better for not having mission 20 at all. But mission 19 is well and truly excellent - a masterpiece of a final mission (even if it isn't the *actual* final mission) that AC is also known for.

[@ursoanonimo8398]

I don’t even play this game, why tf am I crying?

[@m1garandMUSIC]

because the song goes to anxiety, fear, hope, courage, trepidation, excitement, resolution, fury and finally exhaustion. those tears symbolize dread, anger and relief. its the same for everyone else.

I was so happy when I got past all the ground forces and the shield shut off I was blasting the shit out the arsenal bird

Played This mission, With ADF-01 Raven Too much missiles but i let my drones work on the weakspot of the arsenal bird

[@kazekamiha]

Just started playing it about a week ago, still on the tail end of it. Loving it. All the AC series should be re released.

[@mathiasbernier304]

Imagine, just imagine, to have Daredevil, combined with Hush, but not just a simple mashup, imagine, around 3:45, Daredevil slowly fade away and we have Hush rising with the woman vocals....

[@ArkaSaurusRex218]

18:06 The shield is down! All fighters! Commence attack on the Arsenal bird's main reactors!

[@Squbany_Zyeb]

I cried 3 times with this song. When I image Trigger in the sky !!!

[@Lambdacore03]

I feel Rosa destroying the markers was her taking out all over her rage because she was manipulated to rally the people over a meaning less war that bought anarchy and death.

[@Delta4431]

Who needs a shield cracked 03:14

[@caav56]

If you do a little sequence-breaking (destroying laser cannon of the Arsenal Bird ASAP), this moment will synchronize with drones acting like crazy.

[@mosswine5417]

Matching the arsenal birds speed, upside down and shooting what's under it was pretty badass to this track. I didn't realize I was able to do such a thing without crashing into it. It must've been the song..

[@avengingsylph]

During this mission with the sky singing a Latin chorus...at that moment, I could almost taste this game! Sublime stuff.

[@darrylt8502]

Brownie, hang in there! I've maxed out the speed on this F-16 to assist... NNOooooooOo!!! I feel that this track fits that moment in that level. :/

Technically... the Arsenal Birds are the Ace Combat equivalent of the Metal Gears in Metal Gear Solid

The only other series I can think of with an OST to match Ace Combat is Panzer Dragoon. Somehow, games where you fly around and shoot loads of lock-on missiles just have great music.

What an exhausting fight that was but what an epic way to go about the second half. When that shield goes down...oof, the power.
