Everything Wrong With Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Please remember, this is a video meant for entertainment and comedy, not an actual game review! No offense is intended towards anyone who worked on this wonderful game.
I did not include the three DLC missions in this video since they are, after all, DLC and not in the main game. I will be uploading a separate video just focused on those! Make sure to subscribe to my channel to get notified when that video goes live!

I think the situation with Avril and her drag racer is kinda misinterpreted to hell. My current theory on this is as such: The place they built the racer is clearly an agricultural object. They were stationed at a hangar, so *probably* at least Avril and her gramps were working there, gramps was probably an air mechanic or a civilian pilot after retirement. Avril mentions flight training, so she was probably a civilian pilot as well. They all had lives and jobs. This is why the engine took so long - they did not invest *all the time* into the racer, they worked on it when they could, bit by bit, month after month. And of course the "old geezers" were far from the only people who were there - but they were like family to Avril, and when they died she felt she was left alone. This doesn't mean there were no people left in the whole facility. She'd clearly have friends and colleagues there. It's even assuming this was her workplace, and she did not just visit this place to work on racer, while earning money somewhere else.

I think in the japanese version, she is actually saying "yes" in every case. But she's saying "ee" instead of "hai", which is less formal/awkward-sounding I believe. One of those subtle translation issues. Also i think Avril doesnt tell her to specifically say hello, just to say something.

[@wild_sergeant716]

"Hold on just seven nuclear seconds" I couldn't help but laugh at that. Nah don't sin Clown's questionably hilarious yet stupid comment from Mission 3.

[@GoredonTheDestroyer]

_Oh._ Also, just to point a couple things out. First: the F-104 is/was an interceptor, in essence an airborne dragster. It goes fast as hell in a straight line, with severely hampered maneuverability. Second, "unidentified aircraft" doesn't necessarily mean "We have no clue what these planes are." The IUPF could just as easily have known they were TU-95s, but not known who was operating them. Keeping the line of "It's possible that the Usean ceasefire has been broken" in mind, it's possible that the IUPF had no idea Erusea had dispatched the bombers until they were right on top of them. - Remember, intelligence _can_ be wrong.

[@raindrain1]

Or to put it more succintly: Military intelligence - isn't.

[@Tigershark_3082]

The whole "Court Marshal for killing the former president" always pissed me off, like you pointed out, there's cameras mounted onto military aircraft, and in the mission, there's literally 5 drones clustered around the president's V-22 at all times. Chances are, the president would have died anyways due to splash damage from nearby impacting missiles. And while yes there would still be a court marshal for Trigger, they'd have to prove whether or not Trigger intentionally meant to shoot down the president. I like Ace Combat for its arcade like gameplay, but this story always bugs me. Also, does anyone else ever wonder why the hell the protagonist is the only one that ever destroys a unit? Any time I watch other planes and tanks fight, most they'll do is just fly around and not do anything but shoot at the protagonist. I wish there was an option like Ace Combat 6 where you could at least request allied support to do their jobs after helping them out.

[@user-tb7qn8me1r]

Not very sure about aircrafts, but I'm sure ally ground units can kill enemy ground units, not very efficient though.

[@GintaPPE1000]

NPC missiles in the main campaign are scripted to do something like 1/5th of the damage of yours so they don't steal your kills. If you watch your allies in the special missions though, they have normal-strength missiles and can more than pull their own weight.

The reason Nagase was in space for the entirety of the game is had she been on the planet she would’ve killed every Erusean after Harling died.

[@corsnake6959]

Also, one thing I liked is that she comes back, just shortly AFTER the last shot of the war. Keeping with AC5 "The Aces of Razgriz, never flew in the skies of battle again" Such minimal thing, but I love it

[@trainknut]

6:07 Actually, it is possible, somewhat common in fact, for the opening shots of a war to be fired without anyone dying. Perhaps the best example is Fort Sumter... The American Civil war was the deadliest war in North American history, yet it's first battle raged for hours without a single soldier dying on either side... Or a more recent example would be the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, they managed to invade and annex an entire territory from Ukraine while everyone was watching, and somehow they did it without a single shot being fired in either direction. As well as basically every famous military campaign in history having similar casualty-free battles... in their early months, it's almost as if humans don't want to kill other humans unprovoked. Ironically, the casualty-free opening battle is one of the few things about the Lighthouse War that actually makes any amount of sense.

11:19 There are no rules of engagement broken here. Only questionable orders. Telling damaged and supposedly retreating aircraft to keep engaging is pretty sketchy, but it depends on the situation. Gargoyle 1 and Brownie were certainly in damaged aircraft, but they still are valid military targets. If you fired at retreating tanks which had their turrets jammed by anti-tank fire, would that really be a war crime? It would have been wiser for Brownie to simply eject when she was cornered.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Edit: mixed up Tabloid and Count's backstories. I'm extremely late to this video, but the callsigns of Spare Squadron are really funny and rather fitting for them all, especially in an ironic context for some. The AWACS Bandog has a suitable callsign: his general disdain for the prisoners and aggressive attitude are reminescent of a guard dog's. The specific breed known as the "bandog" is known as an intelligent and ferocious one, to the point where they're banned to care for in many US states. Count's callsign refers to him being in in penal camp for identity fraud and committing larceny (probably with that fake/stolen identity). Full Band's callsign refers to full band radio, which covers a wide range of radio signals- and allows for open communication without much privacy. Of course, Full Band was put in the penal squadron for stealing government secrets... which he's terrible at keeping anyways. Tabloid is a Belkan. Apparently the stereotype is that Belkans love to push conspiracies. He's also an anarchist with no balls. High Roller's callsign refers to his gambling addiction. It's also implied that he's terrible at it. Trigger's callsign, of course, comes primarily from the event that killed Harding. Of course, he wasn't actually the murderer of Harding... But the name stuck even outside of Spare Squadron probably because he's implied to have an aggressive personality (even as the player character). Plus, he's all around a great pilot (as great as the player is, at least.)

[@SlyAceZeta]

Count's not the anarchist, Tabloid is. Count was convicted of fraud, likely using a fake noble identity to steal (per Avril, "One's a great pilot, but a lousy thief."), whereas Tabloid was convicted for shouting anarchy and "throwing a rock" by his own confession.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Little theory I think would help the likes such as “The engines are already running”, and “He’s an old timer, has no idea how drones work” is that the Osprey Harling was in was a drone. Would also explain maybe why the osprey turned back toward the tower, but honestly, everything that happened in Mission 4 concerning the tower is a headache to think about.

And signing the treaty there is like announcing to the eruseans “Hey guys remember your first defeat against us starting from North Point? Yeah? Then let’s sign it there just to irritate you a little bit more.” It’s like Hitler forcing the defeated french to sign their defeat in the same Train Carraige as the one used to announce Germany’s defeat

Also in game play they say that taking out the pulse lasers lowers the threat level by a little bit, but destroying the continuous beam removes a major threat. Ummm, excuse me but the former is way harder to evade than the latter.

[@TheD3rp2]

21:42 I actually have a theory about this. According to Google Translate, the letter "á" in Romanian can mean "of". My guess is that the developers were using it in a similar manner to the French "du" or the German "von" when they came up with his name (Although it should be noted that, as far as I can tell, real Romanian doesn't have such a convention.) The fact that his granddaughters' names follow the same pattern supports this. Therefore, this would be yet another localization screwup. A translator probably saw the character ア by itself and just assumed that it was meant to represent an initial.

(Trigger takes off from a carrier because Ace Combat) EDIT: 24:00 You have no idea.

16:25 The ship means the space ship Pilgrim 1. Also, Babel is not a callsign but a code means "attack the space elevator". Since the Arsenal Birds are powered by the elevator, it seems that Gargoyle's homeland decided to destroy it without informing the IUN or Osea.

[@licjar.xeymelloz]

Another one. 18:00 This aircraft is NOT the drone that shot the missle. In fact, if you use the free camera mod, you can see it's one of the Golem sq. Actually, there appears a strange 5th Gargoyle aircraft before the event. It will just fly around the airspace behind the combat zone to kill time until the remaining time suddenly drop to 1 min. Also, the plane shot the missile is not even a drone. It's gonna be a very long story so I won't write it here, but it was Georg.
