- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ย. 2024
- Welcome to Ace Combat 101! The second episode of this collaborative series focuses on the use of the HUD (Heads Up Display) and the different types of weapons available in the game.
AC101 has the goal of introducing new players to the series in preparation for Ace Combat 7. Working together with me we have Tomcat171, a video creator, and the staff from Project Lighthouse, a fan site bringing several articles about the game.
Tomcat171 has done the first episode on how to pilot your aircraft and navigate in 3 dimension, you can check his video in the official playlist of the series: • Ace Combat 101

@Rips Sometimes you have to fight for your freedom.

I've been playing since AC4 and NEVER noticed the proximity indicator on the right bar on your HUD. Mind freaking blown.

This comment should be pin.
Not my comment btw.......
Don't worry I don't get defensive weapons either tbh......
What do you mean you don't get the defensive weapons? It's straightforward.
@@Napoleonic_S I'll be fair, I posted this before watching the full vid, but before then, I never understood how to use ECMs in ACX.
Even after hearing how they work I still don't see how they're useful seeing as you can just out maneuver the missles....
11:02
Ironically AC6 is the one game where allie units are actually useful thanks the allied support feature.
It and ACZ, where Pixy can be pretty menacing if you let him be. Also, I recall AC3's AI allies weren't totally incompetent.
in AC5, your squad can get some kills
@@spindash64 yes, you just need to adjust them to the mission and give the order to attack, I made them finish the end of mission 9 for me because I used all missile gun and sp.weapon, I calculated wrong the many times that I would destroy the same bunker.
All the AC veteran's are here just to see ACF's New video and pass time until AC: 7 is released
War Wolf yup
😂 This is true
yep
Lol, so true
So much goes into what feels like such a simple pick up and play game. Weird to think about how many of these rules just become second nature things you don’t ever think about
Yeah i remember that when i was a kid it used to be hard to move my plane but now flying below a bridge and doing crazy things is just another day :)
I still watch this despite knowing all of these already.
Same bro lol
YAW momma!
Yup, same here. :D
I just need to know how to Properly Use the Weaponry
5:50 I'VE BEEN PLAYING AC FOR YEARS AND I'VE JUST LEARNED SOMETHING NEW, WTF
Same here. Lol
omg i know right! i felt so stupid at that moment
Thanks for the time stamp.

I just bought AC7 with no prior experience in the series and these videos are fucking phenomenal.
I've noticed that stealth aircraft take longer for enemies to lock missiles on. It is not long enough to really matter, at best 1 or 2 seconds, but it is noticeable. Honestly, just pick a plane you like with a special weapon for the mission.
300+ Missiles ? IN 1 AIRCRAFT ?
HOW ?
WELCOME TO BELKAN TECHNICAL INDUSTRY SON
Because Ace Combat is known for witchcraft
the lock on time diffrence becomes more prominent the more the target is off bore, which is critical in dog fights or when you switch targets during an attack run on ground targets.
over all great video !
This video is really useful for new player of Ace Combat, but it seems a lot of veteran Ace Combat interested in this type of videos too... Nice work, ACF...
Actually, the LASM has a fairly large blast radius, though it is only large enough to take out the weapons of a ship. Hence the full name of the LASM (Long range Air to Surface Missile), while you can use it to take out vehicles and structures, the LASM is best deployed against naval targets, especially the dreaded AEGIS cruisers with their complement of SAMs.
Also, the LASM and the XAGM flies in a very specific trajectory. The LASM if fired from a high altitude will normally dive down to treetop level when tracking a target, while the XAGM will fly at a higher altitude before doing a sharp 90 degree dive at the target below. Keep this in mind when firing the LASM at high altitude because you can run the risk of the missile slamming into a hill because said hill is between you and your target.
Finally, the XMAA and XLAA have a difference in its tracking delay. The XMAA will start tracking at the moment of launch, while the XLAA will have a delay roughly around a second before they start tracking. in the context of AC6, you can launch an XMAA within range 10000 of a target and have a high chance of getting a kill, while launching an XLAA at the same range will only get you a guarantee kill against a non maneuvering target like a bomber.
Fun fact: I actually never knew you can fire a QAAM even when your nose is not on target. I always thought the QAAM from AC4 was gamebreaking because it will track you for what amounts to an eternity, but if AC7 have the same 360 lock on like in 6, the QAAM of the new generation would easily beat out the AC4 QAAM any day.
Didn't know about QAAM being able to do that and now I need to check if it works in AC7. Though, after work is done. Never knew a regular job would impede on my nolife sessions so much. :( Why does everything cost money? :D
At least in Ace Combat 2, Air-to-Ground and Air-to-Air stat affects the range at which you can lock-on target. Higher stat, longer lock-on range.
Played only a bit of Ace Combat on my 360 ages ago, no coming back for 7 I couldn't have wished for more than this series! Seriously thank you so much! Fantastic pretension, great humor and very informative! Thank you all for your work! Greatly appreciated!
10:54 Are you nuts?!
“Oh yeah, just weave through the missiles. What are you, nuts?!”
YES
It's to soon to quote Chopper :'(
> and only campers do that
LMAO
When does he say that?
@@pierre-alaingingras9768 in the video... in the beginning
I got a fair few missions in to AC7 before I realized target switching was a thing. Should have come here first.
Not sure if it’s mentioned in this video or not, but how important certain stats are can vary wildly from game to game. For example, Def, as seen above, is basically nonexistent in 6 at Ace, but in 7, you can normally eat at least 1 missile when flying mid level defense planes
Great stuff there! I have to admit I never really exactly knew how to use BDSP, I somehow managed to do it, but you could say I was... winging it, so I'm glad you took the time to explain how they work!
Also inverted aerial refueling is something I've never thought of, but it sure sounds fun!
Even Ace Combat veterans like myself still learning new things about the game
when you create your own Top Gun school
*Danger Zone intensifies*
Also 10:54 Chopper: "Oh, just weave through the missiles. What are you nuts?!?"
This game has THE LEAST satisfying a10 sound ever!
Unfortunately
The funny thing is, Assault Horizon has the best minigun sound
This video deserves way more thumbs up considering the views and all the knowledge you provided.
ACF, I have a question. Does Osean Fried chicken sell nuggets?
Only fried and as a side with a large sub.
@@BasedWindex I wonder if they have Belken Nuclear Wings
Werent't we serving up a sandwich?
@@JackofNothingess I'm happy to eat both
@@BasedWindex
Fried chicken is an abomination. Chicken should only be roasted or grilled.
I use FAEB against enormous aerial warship in every ac
I just realized the other day how amazingly overpowered the Tornado is in the air-to-ground role. The BDSPs one-shot the hell out of land units and the cannons can kill a tank in like four rounds.
It's amazing how ridiculous some of these seemingly simple weapons can be, is my point. Sorry for being unclear haha
same
@@colonel.halberstern5893 try shooting machine guns on hidden sams in powder keg
i sometimes only use machine guns on the smaller cruisers
Sadly Ace Combat 7 does not have the FAEB. However it does have the LACM (Land Attack Cruise Missile).
WARNING! SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extremely useful in mission 12 and you can use it on the Arsenal bird
Oh yeah just wave through the missiles. What are you, nuts?
This has helped me clarify the qualities of some of the weapons, and I've been fine-tuning my weapon cards in my Ace Combat DnD campaign. From a fellow fan and rookie, thank you!
Yea, can I play wizard?
Yea but that class is race spacific, you have to be a belkin, but you get normal on foot d&d movement
Ace Combat Fan, love how you referred to Point & Shoot Cameras as Normie Cameras. In a way they are actually a good way to get into photography. DSLRs are still better for obvious reasons but they are still a good way to start.
actually stealth DOES play a role in SOME Ace Combat game (not in all). I know for a fact that in AC2 enemies target you less if you are in a stealth plane. also there is a stealth mechanic in AC7, enemies will target you less, there is even a part that improves stealth in the single player mode
That intro ending with Vietnam joke was perfect haha.
Hi Thanks for the Guide @AceCombatFan because I was stuck at Ace Combat 7 (Mission 5: 444) and it took me 3 to 4 days long to finished the Mission
27:00 You can use missiles to shoot down some Fried Chiken too
Burn chikens to the ground!
Even though you don't have missiles on that mission lol. You _can_ destroy it by dropping a whole bunch of neutralizing agent on it though.
The most satisfying air-to-air kill is the gun kill
You can hurt and shoot down friendlies in Ace Combat 6. It's just that they have either a lot of health or they don't take that much of damage from you when you attack them.
Theres a weird frame time problem in this video but the information is definitely worth it xd
Oh, BTW, BDSP's works best when you fly by on your targets. Keep that in mind, Nuggets.
Thank you for all that valuable information. I was quite overwhelmed by the selection of special weapons since I quite didn't understand most terms since the German translation sucks
LASM has one pretty important drawback, which you forgot to mention. When you release it, it drops down, and continues in straight line, and may collide with objects.
XAGM, on the other hand, drops down on enemies, which is great for eliminating enemies behind buildings, for example.
Its one of the important missle in x mission 3b if you want to complete it easier
Wow! Did I just see allied units actually HIT a target without that support command?
In AC6, what do the stars mean under the fighter classification (17:15)?
It's a graphic that shows how much you've used that Airplane or Kill Count,
I think it started with ZERO as when you've Maxed out on that Plane the Stars/Graphic thing literally shows PAC-MAN 😅
10:54 "Just weave trough the missiles? What, are you nuts?"
3:30 Triss Marigold!
I watch to whole video because I want to get better at ace combat and put what I learned into Ace Combat 7 this is the best 101 video I've seen and very well explained 👍👍
You made me realize there were enemy aces in Ac7 Thank you
just curious, what did you think of the HAWX games?
Thanks and good job with the Tomcat171 backup :)
Hope he’s doing well
let's just say in Strangereal universe, 3d printing is possible midair
Thank you so much for this video! I found it after watching the 1st tutorial from Tomcat171. As a novice flyer and AC7 game player, these videos are invaluable to me. I'd gotten myself up to being temporarily stuck in the 3rd mission, after a lot of restarts, and then some free flying, however I now have much more comfort with the game. Looking forward to watching the other tutorials.
Jeez! 5 jokes in just the first 3 minutes got me rollin on the floor! This was supposed to be background noise but sir, you've got my full attention now.
i really wish we'd get a pc remaster of this one
guns go bbbbbrrrrrttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
I played Weapons of Mass Destruction with an F-117 just because it fit the mission profile. cant be too bad, right?
The X files music was a nice touch! 🇨🇦
I remember in Ace Combat X, we could upgrade our plane so that standard Missiles Can lock-on upto two targets at once.
May you have some tips for using the guns, please?
And 18:15 WAYBETTER Visuals than Ace7 still. *different parts on Fire* :0
10:54
14:00 Are the stealth aircraft in Ace combat 7 too?
I've had an annoying time with the caution message in Ace Combat 5. The mission where you defend Sand Island and picked up Grimm tended to have a group or squad of enemy planes that lead you in a circular loop chasing them forever if you let them get behind you.
What button do you press on Xbox to lock on to enemy targets?
Where are #1 and #3 videos, I cant seem to find them :'(
Its uploaded by Tomcat 1711 whom quit from TH-cam recently ,_;
Wirnt Owen
Odd isn’t it 🤔
@@mrandrossguy9871 yup ._.)
Im really sad just to hear him go
10:28 "...and whenever you see red, you're in trouble."
So the HUD going red doesn't make me go faster? Damn Orks lied to me!
I think your stealth aircraft makes enemy take a little long time to lock you on. At least that's my experience in AC5 last mission. I tried every single jet I had to complete the first stage of the mission(ground target) including using the A10, only with Nighthawk I received less missile warning. Had to use FA18 anyway, as usual, because the second stage of the mission required air to air combat.
In multiplayer AC7 When you lock on there are red lines that appear at 10 o:clock of the lock-on symbol. One then two then three then none. What are these indicators?
I miss Ace combat so much
Hang in there bud just 2 more months
Same man i wish the preorders would give us the free game so we could play while we wait
exactly @@enriquesol
So many years of playing and I never pay attention to the range lock indicator near the altimeter... Good to have when trying new aircraft, but do they appear on cockpit view? Or is it only on HUD view? If it's only on HUD view, no wonder I never notice it..
Amazing work, chaps. Keep it up. Kudos.
-Outcast 1.
Anyone else waching this even tho they've been on the scene since the PS2 days?
I've played since 4.
The Stealth Aircraft also tend to have the best stats sans the Nighthawk.
1:55 me and tomcat117
Me: ITS TOMCAT117 and I
Love the vid:)
I'll go even further, it's Tomcat171 and I.
Oh yeeaaahh !! Just weave through the missiles ..... what are you, NUTS!?!?!
I will miss my Mig-21-93 in AC7.
Ok - so HUD in Xbox Ace Combat 7 doesn't look anything like as outlined in these modules; I don't see where you can set for richer display info... Can community advise...?
Killed me with the "campers" crack
26:47 Enjoy your
BRRRRRRRRRRRRT!
Me: **sees title**
Also me, being already a veteran: Hmm, interesting
tell me plz... How to change target lock... I'm confused
Triangle/Y. But I assume you know that by now.
does anyone know what does A/B mean when you put in full throttle input?
AfterBurner?
I dunno, I'm drunk.
I'm new as a player game coming tomorrow can't wait .But what controller i need or standard are just as good?
I always thought that HUD meant Holographic User Display...oops
Not completely wrong; IRL plane HUDs, as well as "red dot"-style sights for rifles, among other things, are, in fact, holograms; projecting an image onto a clear piece of glass produces an image that is theoretically, and effectively, infinitely far away; this means that, so long as you can see the image, no matter where your eye is, the gunsight is always perfectly aligned with the target, and so you can quite simply point n' shoot.
10:53 oh yeah, just weave through the missiles. What are you, nuts?!
"Who doesn't like the smell of napalm in the morning?"
OK I have a question ace combat fan example
I have a f22 raptor or jas 39 gripen or f16
How to put a rail gun on a aircraft like f16 or f22 and f15
And how to operate it from a none stealth combat jet fighter
Each aircraft can only be equipped with a certain number of weapons so you can’t equip your F-16 with rail guns because they are not compatible with the plane
@@AceCombatFan
Ahh OK I bin waiting in the next ace combat series after this ace combat skies unkown
Coz I always I like to make those new. Jet fighter on my art collection
@@AceCombatFan I wish the next ace combat series always to have a returned line
And to put it on android games and others platform with the same capability on ace combat assault horizon with other skirmish group
Missile recharges under wing this is called Ocean technology. or rather belkan technolodgy
許進曾 I think of it as teleporting or Beaming the fresh ordinance back :D
7:26 How Michael Bay directs his movies
I'm glad I watched this before buying this Its way too complicated i want something similar to gta with everyone fighting in jets
HAHA "Who doesn't like the smell of Napalm... probably the people in Vietnam" lol
Ha Back in 09 I didn't do no tutorial. All you had to do was get vertigo and crash 4-5 times in the first mission and bada bing vada boon you knew how to play
Typhoons long range multi lock
I don't even have a system to play AC, yet here I am.
This is fine.
Use emulators
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!
When i played AC6 5 years ago i shot down my own teammate..
How do you de-lock from different planes
@@iiiiiiii5319 press Y on the Xbox controller or fly away
ʟᴇᴄᴛʀᴏᴀᴄᴇʏᴛ thank you so much dude 🙌🏻
SOD = Air to ground missile or Smart glide bomb?
I like how he says Bom Bers :D
The main issue of Special weapons is to avoid wasting special weapons.
I’m Vietnamese and that napalm joke killed me
0:31 *Fortunate Son intensifies*
You didn't mention how broken RCLs are.
