In the past 15 years, Project Aces has given me: - an online game with unlockables and customization in AC Infinity - a game where I got to use helicopters and the AC-130 - a continuation of the world of Strangereal - a comprehensive history book of Strangereal's history - a Top Gun collaboration - a Godzilla collaboration - an expansion of the team to include outside studios to grow the brand - ps4/ps5 downloadable AC5 - more (and still somehow not enough) remixes to Blue Skies - and more memories than I could begin to express Seriously. I love you guys. Being playing since Air Combat/Ace Combat on PS1. Nothing else comes close.
The moment I saw the DarkStar, it instantly reminded me of the UI-4054 Aurora from Electrosphere! Probably the closest we'll get to having AC3 aircraft in Skies Unknown, but I'm not complaining. Looks so freaking awesome!
The F-14A Top Gun version has higher stats than F-14A and D versions And it can also hit the brakes Like no frickin wayyyyy And the F/A-18E Top Gun can drop the Top Gun fuel tank by holding the switch weapon button
Ace Combat getting the Top Gun license feels like its come full circle. After all, the whole series started as a Japanese love letter to the iconic film that started a whole new genre for aviation in pop culture.
If I understood correctly, I think Ace Combat was also heavily inspired by Area 88 Manga/OVA series, which came out a lot earlier than Top Gun, but I get what you said.
AC was heavily influenced by Top Gun, mecha/aircraft animes like Macross and Area 88 and Metal Gear (probably?) being the main inspiration for the narrative driven AC5 and ACZ, the latter filled with a bunch of anime tropes indiscriminately. It would make sense to me at least, to label AC as MGS with planes but without any of the Kojima's insane commentaries on memes and politics.
I LOVE this new set. Its a blast to use and offers a bit more diversity to the already MASSIVE selection of aircraft. My one wish though was to see the F-117A as a playable jet, but hey.. I guess there will always be next time. Right? I know most of the fanbase would agree. Thank you Project Aces. You did an amazing job regardless.
I'm actually surprised that didn't come back, the F5, F20 and the A4. I'm probably forgetting some to. When the F4 made I thought all of the past aircraft was gonna make it to AC7. Got my hopes up.
@@IG10705 Like a Classic Aircraft Set or a Fan Favorite Aircraft Set would have been really cool to have, but yeah. I thought they'd make a return one day too.
Another year thanking the great effort of Project Aces in bringing us quality content to see this beautiful saga go far. Thank you very much Project Aces♥️✈️
Not only do we get new aircraft and a remix of Danger Zone, but I'm pretty sure I heard parts of Fire Youngman from AC2 in there toward the end. I'm SO getting this DLC!
In campaign yes, in multiplayer, not so much. All that speed but it can't run away from a QAAM. The real dark horse is the F-14A Maverick, that thing's hilarious. The F/A-18 Maverick's pretty dope too, you can punch the drop tank off it for 50 cool points.
For the record, you’re getting 6 planes from this DLC. You get the normal F14A and F/A-18E AS WELL as the maverick versions with different stats and special weapons.
@@jdsound225 Is the following list 3 planes, or 9 planes? F15C F15E F15J F/A18F F/A18E F/A18F Block III Su30M2 Su30SM Su30MKI (yes I know) Go and ask Project Aces. They'll tell you those are 9 separate independent planes
@@razorback139 it would be very cool to see the MKI added to the game with appropriate IAF skins if possible, but it should be a part of a large already-existing-plane addition. Like this hypothetical pack better come with some other novel types like Aermacchi MB339 or something. Not 3 more Su30 variants edit: corrected MC339 to MB339
PA's team expansion was a necessity... So glad that the devs are in harmony with its community. To a long year of prosperity! Nothing else comes close.
Are they changing it or are they adding a new fighter with more options? I really hope it's the latter... I'm worried this is a late game balancing. Removing PLSL from Su-57 is actually a massive nerf lmao. HCAA definitely more effective than 4AAM at medium to close dogfight engagements though. Actually since this is "DLC" it would more than likely just be a new aircraft entirely. I need to see a model comparison. If "5th Gen Fighter" is the exact same model as the existing Su-57 in game, LMAO!!!
I always felt like the cruise missile was appropriate for the 57. Though, I think they should have dropped the 4AAM just to diversity the Su57 variation. But I guess they wanted to give it a "normal" weapon, as the 4AAM is like the M4A1 of missiles.
@@grah556 Playable Aircraft - F-14A Tomcat - F-14A Tomcat | Top Gun: Maverick - F/A-18E Super Hornet - F/A-18E Super Hornet | Top Gun: Maverick - 5th Gen Fighter | Top Gun: Maverick - DarkStar hope that answers that ;)
I've heard a lot of mechanics just welded those glove vanes in the folded position, as they were too much hassle in maintenance. Just imagine Avril got fed up with them as well :)
@@PhantomRaptor1 I know you're not fully serious (though the welding were real), the one on the video is the F-14D model using F-14A skins. Proof are the following: 0:44 No ECM Fairing on the lower front wings near the hardpoints. 0:46 ECM Fairing on the front gear door. A/N-AAS-429 IRST Pod. ECM Fairing on the tail end. Well, at least we got the Dark Star. But ACES should've been honest in that naming. "F-14A Skin for the F-14D" instead of "F-14A: Special Aircraft Based on the F-14A".
Hey, project aces. I’m not sure if you’re aware but the darkstar is really overpowered in multiplayer. It’s difficult if not nearly impossible to shoot down.
That's the point though. Just play in lobbies where people don't go for the Falken/F22/etc if you can manage it. I'd bet the overusage of darkstar will die down a bit once the novelty wears off.
This is the greatest thing ever. I'm so happy right now. Already bought it, already flying sorties. I'm 47 years old, I've wanted this since I was 11. ❤️ ❤️

Same been playing since the first Ace Combat game 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Project Wingman was born thanks to them and hopefully they'll adapt some of the game ideas into theirs such as talking WSO
Been playing since the first installment here too. Project Wingman comes close, but I see it more of a talented peer than a rival to AC
Same. Been with the series since the PS1 days. It's why I hold such high regard towards Phoenix/Scarface 1.
Same here man, Air Combat on PS1 was one of the first video games I played as a squirt.

The DarkStar takes inspiration from the Aurora that was rumored to exist back then. The guys who designed the plane for the movie confirmed that.
Just played it. It goes mach5
It is based on the Aurora most certainly. Abyssal's plane was a little different but also accurate, like the four engine array
