Insane Pilots Fight a Federation Super Weapon | Arma 3 Project Wingman

[@RubixRaptor]

Ever wanted to see the Arsenal Bird from Ace Combat shoved into the Wingman universe? Well now you can with the ungodly power of ArmA modding. This kinda turned into a dream air plane game mash up operation and I’m thrilled that we were able to run it. Do me a favor and go send some love WebKnight’s way on his workshop page because he had some sleepless nights getting it released for this. (Also keep in mind it’s still being worked on) steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2685067743

This, was the beginning... the beginning of a larger, more violent struggle, Ignis may have fell, but they completed there objectives, and after 2 months of heavy fighting, their "benefactors " managed to secure the island. After the war, a memorial was made to the many pilots that fell ijn the conflict, Ignis was given there own memorial, it was a peice of there aircraft carrier, and of the superweapon they downed, ingrained on it, is the dog fight between the last remaing Ignis pilot, and the dreaded Crimson, before his aircraft was downed... out of all the remains, his was not found... Some say that he lived... others say his body was lost to the sea... I, I personal think the former, a certain mute, that in the end downed the dreaded Crimson in the end of the war, disapeared. Though there are accounts a strange man, who wears simple clothes, scars near his neck, and a look of fire, visits the memorial every anniversary of Ignis's final operation, though, none can confirm this tale, one can dream

[@FernandoJunior-hs8it]

Story behind Monarch's true identity

[@francoemiliano4920]

The man could only watch, he was standing there, seeing the photos of the pilots with their names in them, Cypher, Bobcat, Raptor, Capybara, Flying Gromit, and many more, he met them before, he flew with them before, he liked them, but this men fell victim of Crimson, the dreaded pilot he downed, deep inside of him, that was revenge for them.

[@soulthecelestial3882]

I like to think another side of it is that Ignis is Hitman’s sister squadron, and Raptor was the kid brother of Monarch, who took on a vow of silence until he avenged his brother.

[@kriegertechpriest7011]

Yess... GOOOOD! LET THE THEORIES GROW!

I put Project Wingman on my wishlist when I first saw this video because I always loved Ace Combat and was currently playing through AC7. I thought, why not give another 9000~ G-Force simulator a try. Cut to now, I'm just starting my Mercenary run on Project Wingman and I think it also might be my favorite game I've played this year (though I am still waiting on Darktide to release so that might change). I definitely like it more than AC, which is saying something for me. I got sucked into the world and lore alongside the insane air combat, and I truly hope they decide to release DLC or, better yet, a sequel. I'm ridiculously invested in the fate of a fictional country and their war. So, watching this video again for the nostalgia, I just wanted to say thanks for introducing it to me. Truly a GOTY that deserves more love.
