Dogfight

[Gaizokubanou 0]

I'm pretty sure AC series won't have any PC port... and there are enough great air combat simulators out for PC already guys.

 

Granted most of them are based on WWII... but who would need to engage in dog fights in F-22 or F-15 when most of your enemies can be blown away before you get to even see them? I don't understand why you guys would want AC series to have PC port when you can get LO-MAC

Have any of you tried the mod Project Raptor??? I did, but it made Zero Hour screw up

Cause its fun !! And a chalenge. Wheres the fun in blasting your enemy from like 800 kilometres away ??

 

SW dogfighting is close in too, but they get lasers which are vastly supperior to bullets. Speaking of which, I hear the X-02A stealth uses lasers...........

The fun is when you destroy your enemy by utilizing all of the ultra high tech gears (like ECM, doplar radar, BVR weapons, etc.) at your disposal

 

At first I was VERY skeptical about these ultra realistic modern air combat simulators because of the existence of beyond-visual-range weapons. However, once I tried the game out after numerous tutorials I found out it's still fun and challenging since you have to use the weapons under your own decision. It's kinda like how FPS games are still fun, even though they use guns. It's just that instead of guns, there are BVR weapons

Wow, we've gotten WAY off topic...I had to look to see what the title was cause I forgot it w/all the AC talk

[Guest MadBadger]

well you do have the long range AA missiles but you got to earn them.

[Gaizokubanou 0]

Yeah I know they exist in AC5 to certain extent, like the one with circle for aiming and XMAA or something like that with quad lock-on feature, but they are... too arcadish to truly appreciate what BVR combat is all about And the missiles are way too easy to avoid in AC5. However, most people will probably find such simplicity much more easier to enjoy.

 

Also the radar in AC series is super user friendly. I mean it even tells you the health condition of your enemies!

How long till it gets locked....not far away :roll:

[Guest MadBadger]

question.... sure ive asked this before... Is there a modder/addmin for the RA3 forum?

 

i sure as hell havent seen one.

 

You also have the QAAM (quick air to air missile) that ones cool follows your target even if the targets behind you.

Mabye L3kus or Cygnus knows.....

Yeah but I was mentioning long range aa missiles, I think that one only locks on after 5500ft range or so, same range as the regular missles.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

In Ace4 the EF-2000 has Long range missiles that are very effective (Megalith mission, 1 shot, 4 missiles, 4 kills on Yellow squadron)

 

(Stonehedge mission, one shot, instant yellow kill, mission success)

 

I just beat Opperation Bunkershot in Ace4 on hard in the SU-37 (long range ground attack missiles) and got an S. Working for the X-02A Stealth

 

unfortuneatley, the game is at my friends house, so I get limited time on it :cry: :cry:

 

BTW I dont think this topic should be locked for talking abotu Air-to-air combat. It called "Dogfight" after all (the topic)

[F15pilotX 4]

What aircraft would you guys like to see in Red Alert 3???

[Guest MadBadger]

THE ARC BIRD FROM AC5 :lol:

 

ummm i supose SU-47 fighter bomer for the soviets and F-35B that can hover for the allys

I agree, those would be good units.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

X-02A stealth with lasers

 

ORCA fighters to replace helis

[Guest MadBadger]

hrrrmmm the ARC bird could be the GDI/Allied SW like a prototype ion cannon platform....

[F15pilotX 4]

X-02A stealth with lasers

 

ORCA fighters to replace helis

Now THAT's what I'm talking about

[Cygnus X-1 12]

or better yet......

 

X-Wings !!!

[F15pilotX 4]

Bah...Orcas are so much better

[Cygnus X-1 12]

um....i disagree

 

Xwings are faster, more manuverable, and can go in space to protect philly

 

and they have unlimited Lasers, where as Oracs have like 6 missiles

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

In terms of general tactical versatiliy, the Orcas are better hands down. This combined with something like a heavy bomber and you've got...GDI in Tiberian dawn. I think the Orcas have the ability to be the most versatile weapon in any RTS game. Upgrade them to be 'bomber' 'fighter' or 'Ground attack unit' and we're onto a winner.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

how exactly are Oracs better hands donw form a tactical viewpoint ??

 

Not that Im slamming Oracs, but Xwings can do everythign Oracs can, plus XWings have shiled, unlmiited laser ammo, and are spaceworthy.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

Orca technology in general means that they have the ability to hover inj mid air, and that they are capable of space fighting. You say X-Wings are faster but I believe thats goibng ot be an issue of contention because thye Orcas speed on TD was mighty fast whereas the larger, heavier X-wing was only very slow on the games. In the films I'd say it was going as fast as an Orca.
