Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown |OT| Game of Drones
- Thread starter emotion engine
- Start date
I'd be surprised if there was native support for TrackIR, but OpenTrack lets you map the tracker movement to mouse/dpad axis, so I suspect and hope there will be a way to make it work.
This is my first in the Ace Combat series. I knew that the series existed but I never played anyone of them. This game is absolutely awesome. I'm on mission 7 right now and I'm in love.
But the thing I'm missing: Is there some kind of tutorial or a youtube video how I can improve the movement? Cause I feel I'm absolutely clueless especially if it comes to turning. I just fly in circles or try to do some kind of awkward backflip.

I tried focusing as much as i could on taking down the buildings and the planes taking off from the bases in the start, that racked up alot of points. I also had to resupply my ammo and heal once at base (where the blue line is).
But yes mission 6 is quite annoying too.
Have unlocked Gripen as my main plane, sweden represent.
The final track with ominous chanting and all is called Daredevil.
EDIT:
Well, at least now we know where people got the idea for the Geofront entrance now...
Damn, jumped into multiplayer... I have no clue whats going on. I did 709 point and the first one did 45.000 points. Wtf?
I've never played one of these, but this one looks very cool. Thinking about picking it up. I liked the Rogue Squadron games, and this looks kinda similar but with more dogfights?
Finally beat it.
That wasn't even the part I was stuck on, it was Hugin and Munin and those damn Weapon Drones.
It's not working, I can't pull it off. Fuck the difficulty spike, I've really been enjoying the game till now but fuck mission 6 for wasting ,y time, done with this shit
Im finding it interesting people are have issues with mission 6 and not the last part of mission 12 on hard.
You'd figure fighting the same damn giant aircraft carrier/plane concept would get old after 20+ years, but they keep finding ways to keep me not only entertained but also make it feel epic.
You're also completely healed from damage when you resupply.
In the briefing for mission 6 it states the resupply is not available to your squadron, only the 'main' airforce. So I shouldn't have listened to it eh? Oh well, completed it before anyway, but good to know.
I did it with the mirage and LASM with special missile plus upgrade giving more missiles. Went from ground target to the next and ignored the aircraft. Just had to move quickly and not focus on one target too long. Go for the bases West of where you start and take the canyon base north-east last. That one is the hardest as the targets are more concealed by the terrain and you should have enough points by then anyway. I guess you can also try going full air to air, equip some qaam or dogfight missiles and go that way, I'll give it a go next time I redo it.

Thanks for the great tips there. I haven't unlocked the SP.W.QUICK+ or SP.W.POW+ parts yet, so I'm just using SP.W.PAYLOAD+ with the F-15C (since it sneaks in under 2000 like that and has SASM), but your tactics work well.
I don't always win, but I'm doing well pretty much every match, and they're a lot more enjoyable when you're not endlessly turning in a circle.
If you have four targets in a row you can launch 2 LASM(1 target each) then switch to missiles to get the next 2. Or guns but it is more risky to crash. Most ground targets only take 1 regular missile to destroy but there are exceptions like tanks. Don't waste missiles and fire 2 at aa guns, sams and control towers etc.

I had to retry that last part of mission 12 a few times too, even crashing once after completing the objective. HPAA were really critical in getting the job done.
It's important to pay attention to radio chatter during the mission, as I believe the AWACS grants you permission to use the return line early on in that mission.
I normally do but must of missed it, I'll listen for it when I redo the mission, thanks.
About 60~100k+ a match depending how well you do. But also the later missions give increasingly high amounts of MRP.
What tree lines did everyone go for? I went for the Russian line to the SU-57 and boy oh boy the 57 with the laser gun rips stuff apart. The bosses were done with few problems thanks to it. Dug the game for sure and will probably replay it again soon on easy next time to just enjoy it and unlock the rest of the planes.
Felt really good to finish a Bandai Namco "arcade" game again. Really hope these Ridge Racer 8 rumors are true. AC7 reminded me they really nail the moment to moment excitement in these games.
20 years? Didn't the giant plane concept start in Ace Combat 6?
Replay missions in free mission you still get points for completion.
Lol no, giant planes have always been a staple of the series since its inception in 1995
For those having difficulty with Mission 6 - head to the base closest to your starting point and destroy the aircraft flying off from the run way. That should net you a good 2-3k in points in the first 2 mins
Im having difficulty with Mission 10 at the moment

any tips on how to locate the Sam sites other than spotting the smoke trails?
Good grief could you imagine if we still had to monitor fuel in Ace Combat?
Not really, though it's mroe about shooting down the jet fighters that try and attack the cargo plane.
Take out the enemy fleet first, then head to the airfield platform, aim for the cores as it destroys everything on the platform as well.
Got through mission 6 using long range surface missiles and then switching to aa specials, but in total took me 6 tries.
Mission 7 is visually amazing but tbh I don't understand why you have 15 mins if those damn drones randomly shoot cyclops out of the sky.
Man, I wish I could get the Aurora from AC3 here...

You are on the right track, go ahead of the transport and kinda do lines across the map, not entirely, but kinda. you will come across them. Go for the fighters when they show up, then repeat.
Some missions kinda ask you to go ahead of the pack and be proactive/ aggressive, this is one of them.
Yeah that would be a pain in the ass, but one could argue that the mission timer that we have today is basically our "fuel" so to speak.
At least we don't have to worry about afterburner eating all our fuel I guess, lol.
Lol, fifth place in battle Royale twice in a row only to be followed by becoming number one in the next and then me becoming the highest scoring person in a winning death match team immediately afterwards, using Typhoon. What a ride.
I don't think it's even possible without deliberately targeting cores. Managed to do it finally with a 2000 surplus by destroying all the platforms except one.
It's hard to even see the cores with all the targets!
Damn, playing MP made me realize how much I suck at this game XD I have been playing for 3 hours straight now and I think I got less than 5 kills altogether. Wow XD
Hahaha. Better be quick with that target switching button then. It's actually not that hard to hit them, except with all the annoyances left and right bothering you to do so.
I honestly think destroying them is really a must though, it's impossible to do that mission otherwise.
