@@michaelandreipalon359 Hell, the Razgriz story can even be inverted for some series villains. The most notable example I've seen of this is Captain Matias Torres. Instead of starting as a demon destroying the land, then coming back to save it as a hero, Torres started out as the Hero of Comberth Harbour, saving his men from Mobius 1, but returned as a demon to try destroy Oured with the Alicorn. You could also argue Pixy also fits this reverse Razgriz story. AC0 radio audio makes note of Pixy's single red wing rather than Cipher's blue wing tips; it may have been the latter drawing watching eyes during sortie, but Pixy himself was also a hero in the eyes of the Allied forces. Then, he disappears, only to return as the Sleeping King of Avalon; the champion of A World With No Boundaries; the demon who'll reset the world to zero. In both cases, true Razgriz stop them. Trigger's Razgriz arc starts with him as Harling's alleged murderer then returning at the hero Three Strikes. Cipher's heroics in the first phase of the Belkan War can be the Razgriz' demon phase, with him downing all the Knights of the Round Table, then he saves the world from Pixy and AWWNB to become Razgriz.

They threw it against a decades-old rusting chemrail cannon, the ancient gun crippled, blinded and running on fumes.

Stonehenge from this game is still one of the most fascinating WMDs shown in video games. Its impressive because of its scale, range, and its intended purpose. However what has always fascinated me is how its something that can actually be achievable by current technology even if its a wholly unrealistic project from a logistics, cooperation, and financial perspective.

[@trainknut]

Stonehenge of all the Ace Combat superweapons to me has always seemed like the the most plausible, not only because of it's design and construction but because of why it was built. Between flying aircraft carriers, force fields, and giant lasers mounted on jets... Somehow a 20 meter railgun designed to shoot down asteroids an entire continent away doesn't seem that unrealistic considering the absolutely cataclysmic event Usea was facing at the time it was built... To me it's the only superweapon in AC that makes me go "if all this happened irl, somebody probably would do that"

Just one correction; the Ulysses1994XF04 asteroid was not broken up and scattered by the Earth's atmosphere. (By the time a meteor breaks up in the atmosphere, it's already too close and too late for large fragments to be spread out far and wide around the planet, even if it explodes.) It was broken up and scattered by the Earth's Roche Limit. That's the region of space around a planet/star/black hole/etc. where entering objects will slowly get torn apart because one side feels a stronger pull of gravity than the other. Because this region of space is so large, and because this process of "gravitational shredding" is so slow, fragments of the torn-apart object can become spread very far and wide. It's actually theorized that Saturn's rings were once comets (or maybe even a small moon) that got trapped and torn apart by Saturn's Roche Limit. Otherwise, great video!

[@bloodfox1337]

I was one of those people asking for a ground / tanks Ace Combat perspective. War Stories Anthologies, since Battlefield and CoD are in the crapper. Tanks with a fleshed out story to give something not controlled by the complete bastards WarGaming or Gaijin. The old classic Ace Combat 04 aesthetic as you are put into the fire control officer position to shoot down asteroids [which secretly gives cash bonus for campaign as the capital not destroyed means more supply for you later]. The latter plus Ace Combat Zero morality meter to decide events like enemies deserting to aid you or civilians pushing back against "liberation" and what not. Tactics that take pressure off you as they can deploy and take extra objectives later, create access to special missions, or hinder you. Would be interesting to get stuff thrown at you for collateral from ISAF strikes we don't see normally. "Osean puppet!" spitting would add some greyness to the storyline.

If not for the fact that the militaries of Strangereal WOULD shoot people with them, I'd argue that guns like these need to be installed all across the planet. This system can only cover a limited arc, and an asteroid strike could come from any direction. Not mention that you'd probably want overlapping fields of fire in case 1 cannon wouldn't be enough to take out an impactor. Not to mention that even with international rushing of repairs on the original site, they'd probably be at best months out from reactivating the system to full capacity.

Stonehenge was super advanced for its era, but a relic by the time we saw it on AC7. For a fair comparison, compare Stonehenge's computers with the ones before Y2K, and modern computers with the likes of Hugin and Munin. Stonehenge is about as obsolete in universe as it is IRL.

[@z3r0_35]

The Stonehenge Defensive mission was pretty neat. If you think about it, in a way, it was like playing Stonehenge Offensive from Yellow Squadron's perspective.

Which Ace Combat game is this? 7? Damn... needa finish that. Got bored about 6-7 missions in. Oh 4 and 6 eh? 4 was the best, but haven't played it since I was in grade school. Wish I wouldn't have sold my OG phat PS3 that had backwards compatibility.

[@nightrunnerxm393]

Honestly, you'd think that in a world where superweapons are repeatedly disabled or destroyed by a single fighter pilot or a small squadron of fighters...they'd just stop building them. The things just keep ending up targets. But noooo....Somebody just has to build a new one, because _this_ time it'll be different! I'd complain about the failure to learn, but I think that's sorta the point, really.

I'm glad Ace Combat getting more attention, My Older Brother was a Big Fan of Ace Combat Series, the last AC he played is Ace Combat Zero, now he's a Fighter Pilot.

[@chronus4421]

I enjoyed this video, thanks you. I have never played nor have knowledge in the lore of Ace Combat, but I love you guys. Thanks again. Consider Sins of a Solar Empire Invictus (easier, but not as much content) Season One.

It's spelled Emmeria, my boi. But yeah, they got lucky surviving the falling fragments. Can't say the same for Estovakia, though.

There is only one nation that has an historical impact but no video yet......Belka

I would love to see someone animate what it must have looked when Stonehenge was fully-operational, and firing at the raining asteroid debris. All eight cannons operating independently as chunks of space rock come raining down.

[@JamesDOConnor1916]

Thanks for this guys awesome work much respect I love the lore and history of the world of ace combat 😀

[@AlexDuos]

Ace Combat has so much freaking lore and backstory to it, it's really kind of crazy how easy it is to overlook it while you're out dogfighting. Great video you guys!

[@TheLiamster]

I’ve been to Stonehenge and this Stonehenge is even better than the one in real life.

[@mauriziope5359]

Very good video! I hope you'll also do videos about the world of Project Wingman. I'm sure they'd be as great as this one! Keep up with your work, it's splendid.

[@mill2712]

The creators of project wingman are also quite available. It could be quite possible to have collaboration done between the two parties as well.

[@ryank5424]

From having to take out that installation, to having to defend it. What a world

[@D.Holliday112]

Those super computers should be put to use for scientific calculations. While the Railguns themselves are now just artifacts of a war long over, the computers can be maintained and upgraded for their calculation and processing power alone. Let the site be a working monument, once used to save the continent, then rule it, and finally used to save it.

well, these projectiles would have burned up in the atmosphere before they got out of it.

All I want to know is how tall is one rail gun, and what the length of the barrel is. No one can answer that for some reason. Why?

[@YukoValis]

The thing I loved about Ace combat 4 was that it taught you to fear your enemy. This stonehenge and yellow squadron over the course of the game were a serious threat.

[@kaytow6645]

One little fun fact to point out the reason why the Astra was going to spread over a much larger area than originally predicted, was due to the fact that it was hollow on the inside, making it would be breaking apart, much faster how much wider than originally intended

You know Wiltshire looks kind of different in this. Salisbury looks fine though.
