9:42 Small correction: Saint Ark was hit by an asteroid fragment that erased its air base from the face of Usea and crippled both the city's defense capabilities and the main roads' viability. The impact was recorded as "the most devastating of all the Ulysses fragments to strike urban areas".

I think the most terrifying thing about this is the fact how easily this could be us. If anything this history could become us down the line since we have almost no known way of dealing with foreign objects entering our atmo. We have even had a few close calls if I am remembering right, but still, its scary to think about what could happen to our planet in this kind of situation.

[@aoki6332]

nah we never got a truly close call the closet of these "close call" was like double the distance of earth and the moon its just that people love sensationalism and saying ASTEROID IN A CLOSE TRAJECTORY TO EARTH sell more than Asteroid passing at 700000Kmh of earth

Something else he got wrong. It was turret 4 that got hit not 3.

[@Myuutsuu85]

Actually, they could have won, or at least had a much better chance, if they did not mess up by fighting each other, but instead had pooled resources to complete all the anti-astroid weapons. With both Fortress Intolerance and the laser satilites intact, as well as Chandelier being finished, they should have had good chances to prevent some of the worst hits from the fragments.

[@user-sq5mr8ut1o]

It's interesting that they chose to defend populated areas first. Other countries in our world do this too, in fact its how israel choses which incoming missiles to attack or ignore. There's really no point in stopping something that's gonna turn some sand to glass or make some snow into water so letting it impact is probably the best choice

[@karlsullivan4761]

So I just noticed something interesting after playing AC7, then replaying AC4....Stonehenge has moved. In AC7 it is now significantly more to the NE than it was in AC4 on the Usea map. Anyone care to comment?

[@SolutusEversol]

Maybe. I am not sure. But it’s not hard to believe since Farbanti looks different in 7 than it did in 04. I may subtly address this change in a possible remaster

yes, yes we should. then we should point that Stonehenge toward our airspace just like in AC4, that's a great idea the last time around, isn't it? oh, an while we're at it, why don't we also build that giant belkan dildo that shoots out laser? we have enough ICBM do to stuff like this, no need for a giant hybrid railgun with yet to be proven technology. P.S. the UN Doesn't have the power to do or issue such thing, in fact, they don't have the power to do anything without the military and supply aids from the powerful countries, you'd be better off praying that one of the superpowers would build such things, but then again some ICBM with conventional munition will do a good enough job with relatively cheaper cost, at least before railgun technology becomes more efficient that is

Gustavo Zorze Osea Never had supercomputers with that name designation? what are you talking about?

[@Eboreg2]

I notice a lot of people condemning Usea's actions that led to the Eruseans starting a war whilst completely forgetting the fact that Erusea started said war _in the middle of a refugee crisis!_ In my mind, that's far worse than anything the Useans ever did.

[@SolutusEversol]

Eboreg2 let’s look at it from the Eruseans side. You stop expanding your borders after hearing the news about an asteroid headed towards your continent and you then team up with all of Usea to prep for Ulysses Day. The asteroid arrives and causes massive damage and erusea is severely hit by the fragments. However Erusea still holds up their end of the agreement by admitting 200,000 displaced refugees. Although they have met their quota and are trying to take care of their own problems I.e. rebuilding the capital and their economy the FCU led by Robert Sinclair and the rest of Usea is pressuring Erusea to take on more refugees. Erusea doesn’t have the resources, food, and medicine to spare for anymore refugees but Usea is putting Erusea against the wall because of grudges they had in the past. Erusea has to put their foot down, Sinclair makes a hissy fit and issues a boycott damaging Erusea’s economy and still the rest of Usea doesn’t even help the refugees outside the border and they have the gaul to say it’s Erusea’s fault. Basically erusea while not morally perfect was not to blame. Sinclair and the rest of Usea ultimately brought this war upon themselves due to past grudges. If they chose to listen to erusea and planned something different then there probably wouldn’t have been a crisis or a war.

@@SolutusEversol Would it have been possible to shift their exports to Yuktobania or some such? What about sending construction workers and equipment to Emmeria, I know they would have needed it.

[@michaelmerritt7406]

@@SolutusEversol It does seem like the rest of Usea used this situation to kick Erusea while it's down, out of spite for past transgressions. And while they're bickering about Erusea not accepting 600k more refugees, the country those refugees were in didn't help them either. And the sheer fact that 600k refugees were even there indicates that the other countries kicked the can down the road and directed them there. While the later invasion was wrong - it's foolhardy to think invasion wasn't the inevitable outcome of a very clear effort by other countries to essentially cripple Erusea economically. People get weird when they're desperate - especially when those people were already predisposed towards military action.

[@michaelmurray7199]

So the number 3 turret was the one that was non operational at the time of Ace Combat 4 when ISAF sent Mobius 1 and other squadrons to destroy Stonehenge. Therefore that turret survived the attack and would later be repaired prior to Ace Combat 7, where it fires one last shot in order to shoot down one of the Arsenal Birds before collapsing.

[@chaoscommentary2179]

Before watching this video I always wondered that why only one rail gun was operational I thought Mobius 1 destroyed them all

[@joshfindlay6283]

Hold it. It said on acepedia the it was railgun 4 that was almost hit not 3.

[@COUNTERCOM]

12:35 and thats when the best ace combat game starts.

[@phantomwraith1984]

I loved that use of Assault Horizon's music as Ulysses started raining down

[@divecolosio4988]

Wooh! Lol, onward from 8:50 is how Estovakia were getting Salty to Emmeria

[@SolutusEversol]

Dive Colosio the Estovakian salt was very strong! ;)

[@divecolosio4988]

@Gen. JFH the Emmerian were meant the supplies to the government, didn't know it was either relegated or sabotaged by another party. Weird that they haven't notified about it

[@shierracleese5253]

The more I learn the lore, the more I knew how complex it is. Project aces is nuts! Thank you for the explanation

[@ONEKONIG]

Awesome! Please make more of these!

[@SolutusEversol]

[@afterburner94]

I'm very late to the party but this whole series, narration, and goddam amazing Paint.exe drawings is mind-blowing. Thank you so much for putting this whole thing together. The amount of work and love you out into this definitely shows. I subbed right away!

[@Probe_CCC]

you know what? you got a new subscriber. and I like these history stories.

[@windunursetyadi]

I like how all the bad things in Strangereal could be traced back to both the Belkan war and the Ulysses asteroid

[@michaelmerritt7406]

If Erusea was the hardest hit country of the continent, wouldn't it have been better for the others to take it easier on them regarding the refugee quota? What good would taking on more refugees do if it causes their economy to collapse? They've done their part. It just seems like the other countries just wanted to pass the buck...

[@nathanisjesuschrist1175]

I just found your channel and I’m so incredibly impressed. You put so much work into these animations and it really shows. Thank you for creating content man, you deserve way more subs

[@JeffreyBarkdull]

Why didn’t Estovakia either A. Ask other countries for help in completing the Chandelier OR B. Do what Emmeria did and act defensively against the Ulysses asteroid?

[@NostalJuegos]

People say "Belka did nothing wrong", but after playing AC04, the correct answer is *ERUSEA DID NOTHING WRONG*

[@trainknut]

Erusea and Belka did nothing wrong. #BurnOseaToTheGround

[@thomastonthat6618]

This video is fantastic! All of us here probably played the AC games over and over again but your presentation about this old tale actually got me a little emotional. You and these videos that you make are one of the reasons why Ace Combat is still alive today! Definitely liking and subbing

[@wherethetatosat]

Stonehenge 2 online! Stonehenge 3 through 7 online! Stonehenge 8 on-offline! Preparations complete, ready f-ooooooh, nooooo.

[@warmbreeze7996]

erusea did nothing wrong, 600000 additionel people to take care of in a deep economic crisis is suicidal.

[@Sean-kp1to]

I dont even play ace combat but this video got me shook on my seat

[@PhantomRaptor1]

I don't care what you say, your drawings (especially Stonehenge) are AMAZING! Good work!

Estovokia limping from economic depression and civil war Estovokian government: let’s make a 6th-gen jet without foreign help!

[@TheSkyGuy77]

They probs borrowed money from Belka

[@jethawk015]

Anyone hear about the incoming asteroid that’s apparently supposed to hit Earth in 2046? We could sure use an STN rn 🤣

[@Gbennett1425]

I wish there was a movie about planetfall, even if it didn't focus on the Ace Combat side of the lore

[@blueitalia4100]

This guy is really good at telling a story... I'M SO GLAD I WENT LOOKING FOR ACE COMBAT LORE & HISTORY VIDEOS, & it recommended your channel.. this is the first video I watch on your channel but I'm going to subscribe after this because this was a real treat 👍 keep doing stuff like that I'll keep watching......

[@mcdonnelldouglasfa-18c49]

Bro I just wanna play the cool plane game not fall down a rabbit hole of all its political and geographical events

[@ShahjahanMasood]

I am gonna run a free ad campaign for you now. Which means I will use all my kittens to flood every comment section with your channels name

[@Mobius118]

Ace Combat 04 is the BEEESST

[@JeffreyBarkdull]

Why didn’t Usea send the Refugees to Osea and/or Yuktobania instead of Erusia?

[@UnidentifiedTurian]

I appreciate the amount of work put into this, good job.

[@SolutusEversol]

UnidentifiedTurian thank you! :) I always strive to give 110% effort.

[@fabianvm3929]

If they had deliberately crashed the probe into the asteroid that would've been enough to change the course of collision. That is actually the real plan if this happens irl

[@Genesongx]

The asteroid was 1-2km in size, that would to nothing to it

[@deadonarrival909]

Hey man only just found your channel and I absolutely love it

[@JB-wi7kr]

Erusea were the good guys the whole time.

[@joshfindlay6283]

I know right They should do a remake of AC4 but form Erusea's POV. How cool would that be?

[@Jusuff]

There's no good guys in war. More often than not, both sides have done bad things. You can't really call Erusia or Belka the good guys but you can't really call Osea or Usea the good guys either. Both sides usually do bad things. War is about as grey as things get. It's almost never black and white. But the end result is that innocent civilians have to suffer because some politicians disagree with each other. As Pixy said: "There's no mercy in war. People live and people die. That's all there is to it."

[@TJ-el5tm]

Attention all aircraft! Incoming from Stonehenge confirmed! Descend to 2000 feet!

The soundtrack on Ulysses day and editing is awesome

[@Jumanji089]

RIP Farbanti :(

[@johnnyvalverde7987]

Wow these videos are so cool. I never realized how close in the timeline the Ulysses incident was to the plot of the games.

[@Phyramar]

Great Video Series! As someone who currently replaying Ace Combat 4 I now have more Sympathy for Eurasia.

[@SovietNuclear1]

the thing is how can a nation take more refugee if its major cities including capital city been almost destory? this will only make things worth. And why not Osea take more refugee? and considering what Osea did to Belka, almost all conflit in Strangereal is somehow cause by Osea #BurnOseaToTheGround #BelkaDidNothingWrong #MakeEurseaGreatAgain

[@s.beaumier8765]

And even if they capitulated, what then? They'd be in a worse situation with a struggling recovery and six hundred thousand refugees that the other countries 'just couldn't take in.' Then they threatened sanctions when the Erusian ambassador simply asked how they were going to solve the problem. They had to close their borders, or they'd end up like Estovakia. They couldn't help anyone with chaos in their own country.

[@mushihimesamas]

"they were sitting ducks" I loled*

How have not seen this channel yet? Love me some Ace Combat Lore!

[@tinytrinket7082]

Damn bro, this is tragic, even if it's fake.

[@RogueRail]

7:45 So that’s why that turret wasn’t a target in AC4.

[@Brassmamba]

Man I've been a fan since the first game, and this video gave the feels and everything. Fantastic video, I hope you keep making content dude!!!

[@freegrog143]

ive played sence ace combat 4 but played the first few later

[@TycoonTitian01]

I was very confused in ace combat 7 why half of Eurasian’s capital was half sunk, it all makes sense now

[@leonardonunes9650]

So thats why the city in Battle for Farbanti is underwater, AC is so magical

[@MiguelMitchelMichiel]

So... is Usea pronounced as oo-sea or you-sea?
