Welcome to the Airfields Aces!
This Thread is a place to discuss anything Ace Combat related​

Right of the bat, until I figure out how Plane canoncity works, I will stick with the enemies first. That means the Alicorn, the Arsenal Birds and the Ravens. Afterwards we can think about enemy aces and their superplanes. Can't wait to unlish Pixy onto this wiki

Plane canoncity, you mean the protagonists?

 

[First_Witch]

Nope, its wether they fly any plane beyond their canon one.

Trigger and Mobius One for example canonincally fly the F22 through the story. Cipher the F15, while Blaze flew the F14. I could probably slapp other Planes as optional equippment now that i think about it. But if they don't have access to Superplanes, I doubt they would be allowed to have profiles, because they would be just batshit insane pilots with normal planes. The only aces i know that would have no problem are Phoenix and Nemo, former has his own Superplane while later has like 5 that he all canonically flew.

I wish i had more free time to play Ace Combat 3. Nemo is the like, the most insane protagonist in the entire series.

But you don't have so much free time so use the alternative route lel

 

[First_Witch]

Or i focus on what I can do and unleash Torres onto this wiki...~

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

That'll work
Lets hope @PsychoSSF2 and @Pixy know well about AC3 lel

 

[First_Witch]

Ah right, i forgot Pixy.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Ah right, i forgot Pixy.

No worry, i already contacted him

 

[PsychoSSF2]

I have been summoned.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Until this days AC5 Ending still devastated me on how emotional it is, and i didn't event played it but watched the walkthrought on yt

 

[PsychoSSF2]

Well, this is all I know about Ace Combat so far:

 

[First_Witch]

Someday.... I dont think the wiki is ready though

 

[Armorchompy]

hi, i am currently playing through the ace combat games, i'm at 4 and plan to start 5 either today or tmrw

i would like to make a profile for nemo cause i liked ac3 alot and there's cool feats in the game, however i do not know how much other games may affect its profile, which is what brings me here. profiles for the other games would be cool too and i'd be up to help

i realize this is a multi-year necro however i simply do not care

Holy shit how did you even find this dead thread.

Glad to have you hear. Normaly, most Ace Combat games are self contained, minus the rare instances where they are sequels to each other (Ace Combat 2 is a direct sequel to 1 for example), so you don't HAVE to play Ace 3 in order to make a profile for Mobius 1 for example, or 6 in order to make a profile for Blaze. I dont think there exist definitive proof that Z.O.E becomes Nemo. If it did, you would have to play 1,2, 7 and probaly 0 for the whole slew of piloting feats, as ZOE would scale to them.

Man, seeing this thread again makes me miss Schnee, he was THE resident Ace Combat guy.

Searched "ace combat" (with quotation marks) in the thing and went back. GG

I played 1-2-3-4 so far. Mostly I'm wondering if there's anything stat-wise that these more advanced planes would scale from but I doubt it, every other game seems to stick fairly close to what IRL planes can achieve. Electrosphere being in the future is kinda divorced from that so you got the funny 7-C plane that does like 8% damage to you in gameplay

Apparently the GBA game is the only one also set in the future which is... funny.

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Damn, when hope is all lost, the miracle appeared

Anyway speaking of AC3, AC8 timeline is likely very close to the era of electrosphere but there's a chance that some of it will get rewritten in AC8 but we'll see

It's probably never gonna get back there cause people buy the games for the real planes and Electrosphere is too far in the future for that. I hope they don't retcon Electrosphere though, that'd be annoying

 

[First_Witch]

There is like a... 0%? chance that they will retcon Electrosphere. Straight up. AC 3 character were literally mentioned in AC 7, like Yoko. General Resources was a antagonist in a AC 7 mission (Mimic squadron). Neucom planes were flown in Ace Combat x and xi. GR is probably going to play a major role in AC8. AC8 in general is most likely going to be about the fall of Usean nations from power, giving rise to the megacorps that govern Usea later.

 

[Armorchompy]

Oh yeah that reminds me, Electrosphere is actually the canonical beginning of a millennia-long timeline that includes basically just about every Namco space shooter. So if you ever thought Ace Combat lore was too simple you can now rest easy knowing that it eventually turns into Galaga and the edgy Pac-Man metroidvania game

 

[Armorchompy]

Just beat Zero, that one was pretty awesome lol maybe my fave so far.

Out of curiosity, Witch, do you still have any plans to make profiles for the verse or nah?

 

[First_Witch]

All yours. I was on a playing spree myself when I made the thread, hoping to make some profiles. But that fizzled out and as you can see on the date that this thread was made, it was a good time ago. I'm pretty much out of it, sans for general lore

 

[Armorchompy]

Fair enough. I wanna make one for Nemo and I'd also like to maybe do Moebius 1 and Pixy but admittedly I'm not sure what the AP ratings for the non-AC3 games would be. Feel like you'd just scale them to the payload of IRL equivalents for the most part and I'm not really sure what that'd be (for the IRL weaponry anyway, the fancy sci-fi weaponry prob upscales).

 

[Armorchompy]

How should I handle durability for planes? It seems fairly consistent that AC planes can take one or two missiles before going down, but I'm not sure if I should scale them to normal missiles (low 9-A), special air-to-air weaponry (mid 9-A) or nothing at all. Air-to-ground weaponry gets to 8-C but I wouldn't scale them to that. At the very least superplanes like Morgan ought to scale to the stronger air-to-air weapons since they tank a bunch, but idk about the normal protag-flown ones.

 

[Armorchompy]

Made a profile for Pixy. How's it looking?

Rocks, tbh.

 

[Armorchompy]

Made one for Nemo. I might eventually do Moebius but that's kind of annoying so we'll see.

 

[First_Witch]

Its time
