Fighter Pilot Reacts To ACE COMBAT 7: Skies Unknown

[@LuminousVoid199]

lol its metric 😂😂 2000km/h

[@CWLemoine]

I'm going to pin this just so people won't keep pointing it out (which I'm sure they will anyway 😂). 1) That's 1079 knots which is still ridiculous. (200+ knots past an overspeed and an F-16 just won't get there) 2) The only fighters in the world that use metric are Russian. Even Vipers in foreign countries use Knots and Feet. That's the international standard. (Besides Russia, China, and North Korea) 👍

Pretty sure you can't do that in real life and even if you could pretty sure you'd be dead before ever getting the guns even close to on target.

[@samanders2676]

@@anotherHelldiver I'm not aware of that.

[@MaxUltimata]

@@anotherHelldiver G's is basically force of gravity, also known as G-force, caused by speed and movement. Your body is constantly working against gravity and momentum at all times; you just aren't aware of this in your normal day to day life. 1G is earth's gravity, which is what our biology designed itself over 600+ million years to deal with. .6G is moon gravity. 9Gs is what a fighter pilot can generally expect to endure during a high intensity sortie (or the maximum limit a peak performance human can tolerate, I can't remember), and requires a lot of physical fitness to withstand and not black out in the cockpit (which would effectively be a death sentence). 30Gs is the sun's gravity, and would simply overpower your heart and force your blood to wherever gravity is going to pull it, even in reverse in your veins. Best not to think about the implications.

I absolutely love the AC games and have played them for years but I’m struggling to believe that there’s actually people out the who think it’s realistic, I mean missiles magically reappearing on the pylons in mid flight is a bit of a give away for a start, never mind having to fly through tunnels and shoot down gigantic flying air bases 🤣🤣

Same goes for the absolute ridiculous scale of the superweapons. Stonehenge has to be the most realistic of the superweapons in the AC universe, though. Chandelier, SOLG and Excalibur, not a chance. Arsenal Birds and Arkbird, slightly more likely but not very. Megalith and Fortress Intolerance are pushing closer to plausible, but impractical. Stonehenge has a lot of practicality in the form of redundancy (8 combination gunpowder/electromagnetic launchers) and proven technology.
