I wonder, are all those squadmate lines about “I shot one down”/“target destroyed” (despite the player doing the shooting) supposed to imply that you could’ve/should've used your “command allies” ability on the targets?

Okay, if I compare the English voice one with the Japanese voice one between AC5 and AC7 in 38:15, even though the English one is voiced by the same VO actor, the Japanese VO actor one doesn't. I wonder how is this countable as a sin considering the Japanese VO actor one doesn't even count.

19:36 For the Europeans, roll credits.

This is ass

just wait until this video was made 15 years ago.

1:43 *"May god have mercy..."*

58:30 You're 100% right, SlyAce... Crimson 1 became an orange... all while penetrating the CAP Line in his last few breaths.

ac3's only quirk i like is the combined sense of speed, audio and momentum gained from going over mach 2 or 3, unlike other games, the sound of the engines going over their limit, the wind starting to condense and the camera shake (though unwelcome) help convey a true sense of speed, still i prefer post ac4 arcadey physics.

Actual banger 🔥🔥🔥

12:34: Don't you mean "flying below their elevated positions"? And what do you mean by that? SAM launchers are equipped with radars to spot hostile planes, so it knew the pilot was coming up their way and shot its missiles at Mobius 1. It was only due to the cover of the range did the plane get protected by. This was another mechanic players can use to their advantage and instead of realizing that, you sin it because it didn't conform to what you think is realistic. Contain your suspension of disbelief. 12:45: What do you think the point of the 10th mission was for? Do you always try to prove a point of how much you don't pay attention at the briefing? SkyEye did say "Support our troops by attacking and neutralizing the combat power of Istas Fortress". In order for the ground troops to retake it, not only did the planes have to clear the skies in Las Canas clear of enemy planes, but they also had to soften the resistance of the Eruseans on the ground, so that the troops will have little to no obstacles in clearing them out of there. The fact that you can count your opinion as a "sin" is total BS. That mission was about taking land back from a fighter pilot's perspective and it was damn sure interesting than what you THINK it should've gone. 12:54: A fair sin, not bad. 13:00: It's 2 aircrafts they don't want to get away. Pay attention to the briefing, man. They're sending in fighters as an easy way to force them to give up because the Eruseans want them alive since they're Stonehenge's engineers that have their families with them too. 3 things wrong with you suggesting they use Stonehenge for this. #1: It's just Mobius 1 flying over to cover the engineers' planes. It's a waste to use Stonehenge on 1 plane. #2: They're not gonna fire over an area where their fighters are in said area. That's friendly fire, something no military wants ever. #3: Have you even heard yourself? You want Stonehenge to fire on 2 CIVILIAN aircrafts. The engineers are very likely civilian contractors hired by the military to work on Stonehenge with their families onboard. Shooting civilians causes collateral damage and makes the Erusean military look bad. On top of that, IT'S A FRIGGIN' WAR CRIME.

22:12 it's definitely bloom who the hell Called it broom it sounds like we are going to defeat belkan air force pilots flying with magical brooms which shoots magic spells

Also yeah that ending was a fat oof, though i have a very charitable interpretation YKnow how you mentioned the game from a fundamental level would break the 4th wall at particularly the 15th mission when the cruise missiles started flying? As well as other moments where it completely goes tits up like with the first fight against Frost when those Railguns start firing off like they're right from the AC6 CFA, and literally everything just continues on as normal as if this ISNT a complete "What in the shit is happening right now" moment? Thats kinda what i got from the ending, in the sense that the game is also breaking the 4th wall in a fundamental level and is flat out saying "Yeah, you signed on as a Merc, you did your job, you got your McGuffin Paycheck Extreme Edition, thats what you wanted right?" Granted im also being very charitable since i do believe this could've been done in a much more satisfying manner but still, its not a bad way to view it imo

48:34 no one really talks about this in the way im thinking of but ngl i kinda like the idea that Monarch is so baffled and stunned at what the hell is happening that it takes a swipe from Crimson's gun to snap him out of it and see the plane for himself Its fucking real He's real, he's there, he somehow survived, and he's blaming it all on you. So fuck him, he's now a dead man, and nothing at this point will truly stop you till he goes down.

M8 doesn't realize theres other planes at th bass not just strider and Cyclops

5:00 Nordennavic is even more neutral than switzerland. Also they have their own game but it was pretty bad.

My thoughts on the final fight against Crimson 1 are mostly related to how Project Wingman subverts clichés and expectations set up by Ace Combat. PW doesn't start with a “shoot down the bombers” mission like most AC games. It's a mix of both air and ground targets. Airships aren't just reserved for boss missions, they're common things used by both sides. PW also doesn't have any time limits. But then there's the twist final mission. After playing Ace Combat enough, you learn to expect them. They're either “destroy a superweapon” or “epic final boss dogfight.” Project Wingman could have subverted expectations by just ending with Presidia, and could have had a better story. There's also the story standpoint, which I fully agree with. The Project Wingman Mk. 1 was first at Harkema, where it was flown off to Sawaiiki. Then, it gets flown off to the Federation Core when a bunch of mercs are doing a surprise attack against Task Force 1 while in port. Crimson 1 shouldn't have access to the PW-Mk1. He gets SHOT DOWN in an EXTREMELY HOT ENVIRONMENT with an ACTIVE VOLCANO. Even if he were to have ejected, he most likely would have died. The only good things about Kings to me are the music and coming back with either the PW-Mk1 or SP-34R and absolutely shredding through Crimson 1.

I had no idea I was on this, this is hilarious

Add a extra sin for that terrible voice quality of you.

Funny how this video and i dunno if it was Max0r's or Rimmy's, but another video on a similar tone, have the complete opposite opinion on the ending, this video concluded that the ceasefire was an amazing ending and Crimson is stupid, the other video concluded the ceasefire would have been dissapointing and Crimson is a great goofy final boss for a goofy game

9:11 PAYDAY 2 REFERENCE?!?!?!

4:55 after the start of the russia-ukraine war (2022). I am calling dcs/arma3, as this is what REAL news networks used irl 8:14 you have a loadout of all aim-9 heatseekers, while yes radar works through clouds, the missiles won't track 18:33 but the lead has aim9 only

Bro has beef with Joint Assault

3:01 What he is saying is that they aren't equipped to fight a well equipped mercenary unit with fighters. As border patrol, they expect to be intercepting smugglers and other sorts, not fighters with heat seeking missiles.

My everything wrong with project wingman (not applicable to PS): There’s no frontline 59

I like how any line that is "Dance with the Angels" gets automatically sinned after the first few times and basically becomes the running gag of the video XD

So I've got AC6 but its not working on the xbox I've got. Is there a particular model I need for it to run? Won't download after putting disk in.

In my understanding, the whole plot is about how war keeps escalating when unstoppable force hits the immovable object - morale and goals become blurred, fighting getting more and more pointless till it eventually couldn't be settled because there's always someone who will go fighting on for sake of fighting. You're not a hero to the story, you're just caught in it, if not actually made everything worse - without Sicario and Monarch in particular, Federation would've steamrolled the Cascadia within weeks, and though it might be morally bad, that would've just returned the status quo without massive victims and destruction. The whole point of final fight is that it's pointless, it changes nothing, fighting for Cascadia is over, Federation is bleeding, neither of you has a power to change what's coming next, you just do what you do best - kill for money. Crimson isn't wannabe Pixy, he's anti-Pixy, he isn't a mercenary who questioned his ways and the established world order, he's a fanatic who's falling from the height of his ego deeper and deeper into the denial to keep the existing order in place or at least damage everyone who's against it as much as he can. The problem is that those ideas weren't properly developed and delivered, but tbh every Ace Combat game plot suffers from the similar issues to an extent, trying to punch too much above its weight - delivery was there sometimes, ideas were still undercooked and didn't went beyond the safe space in any meaningful way, devolving into something like "peace is good, war is bad" in the end. After all, Ace Combat never had a consistent believable story to begin with, it's ridiculous in its own right and the part of fun is that you willingly buying into this tomfoolery, it's more like an ancient Greek theatre full of plot devices and over the top symbolism than an actual cinematic experience, and Project Wingman is not that different in this regard, you shouldn't take anything too seriously if it doesn't go beyond the world building, and I pretty much believe that the ending like this could play out in The World On Fire.

For the sin about it being day three of the contract at Rosdower, I think they got signed on for the job while they were still in Louisiana and it took them three days to get out to Rosdower, so first mission but not first day of the job.

Wow, you faced Mihaly with the F 104, you have my respect ^^

*Omega eleven engaging* manly man voice intensifies

@4:58 you clearly don't know how national pipeline systems work, never mind the rest of the refinery... it's okay though, your definitely not the only one! 🤣 thats actually realistic for it to be there though. i live in oil country, things like that all over the place.😆

McKinsey and Bandog were both the biggest pos i ever had to deal with in a video game

Mihaly was engaging in combat simulations that take place in a fictional videogame world full of made up countries like Russia, Japan and Italy. Someone was such a fan of the games they even opened an Italian themed bistro.

I came from Ace Combat 5: Unsung War and Ace Combat ZERO. I can 100% say that Ace Combat 7 is a beautiful trash of a game. It's beautiful, but story and execution are trash.

should have added a sin for that dog being as still as a cardboard

I concur. I really don't get the love for AC3. I'm not really a big fan of AC7 making it canon either, but fan service, I suppose.

Wait did you only get a A rank when you got S on every sub mission? Is it just me or is the S Rank bugged on that mission ?

Go dance with the angels xD

Can you olay it on 60 fps on xbox series x

Honestly your issues with the operation system regarding target selection and having to avoid the circles that start the ops are factors that have never even come up for me. 😅 I still don't think starting an operation early has any meaningful impact, at least it never has been the case for me. But then again I do finish the missions a good bit faster on average, so maybe I just don't give the game enough time to show it? I dunno.

I've always found getting an S on The Liberation of Gracemeria to be annoying, the UAVs are such a pain. At least you only need a B on the mission phase two.

"They stole some jets and now, they were flyin around takin out their former allies left n right." I wonder if Avril is referring to Mimic Squadron. The lines match up with "being shot in the back by an ally." Let alone Mimic is less than sane and would indeed coincide with escaped prisoners. The only part that doesn't line up is that Mimic would be dead by the date of the cutscene. So who truly knows? Just thought I'd put that out.

Rosaception.

I don't know what "Samizdat" is supposed to refer to here, but the word itself is a russian abbreviation of "self-publishing", referring to soviet dissenters reproducing censored books.

Winchester is a term that means "out of ammo" which in that clip you have 0 missiles and 0 SP weapon. So that's not a Sin

48:05 "It's a really fitting way to en-" *big boom* .... Uhh?
