Re: Ace Combat 7 - All the strangereal please
https://www.pcinvasion.com/review/ace-combat-7-pc-steam-review/ doesn't seem to imply any actual technical issues with the PC review version, but who knows, they might staple a ****e version of Denuvo on it or something

They have not kept the thingy from AC& were you could order allies to attack targets?

No. Having actual control over your allies was something that's exclusive to 5.

You could point your allies to shoot at things in AC6, not sure how that stacks up against 5 because I never played it.

AC6 for Xbox 360 is now backward compatible with Xbox 1.
Maybe someday God will give you a little pink toaster of your own.

You could give orders to your lone wingman in Zero. Actually it was even more useful than in 5 since they packed much more intelligence/capability into the one wingman to make up for not having three of them.  :p

Basically in 5 my wingmen might get one or two or three ground target kills and VERY rarely an AA kill in 5, while my wingman in Zero would get much more.

It was. It sort of rewarded you for completing objectives by allowing the allied units assigned to those objectives to be freed up for pew pewing things.

Re: Ace Combat 7 - All the strangereal please
So, I got a Steam Controller and will test it with AC Assault Horizon, just to be sure.
But while watching Ace Combat streams, I figured, I'm one of the few who will play the F-14D for most of the time.
And I'm wondering, if the plane selection will encompass all unlocked planes, as in flying air superiority with an A-10 :lol:

Re: Ace Combat 7 - All the strangereal please
You are completely free to take any plane you unlocked on any mission. You can do ground assault runs in an F-104 and air superiority missions in an A-10, noone's gonna stop you.

Re: Ace Combat 7 - All the strangereal please
Well, no airplane is actually superterribad at air superiority in the two Ace Combat games I played apart from the bombing set piece missions in AH, if it's anything like 4 there is likely no equivalent to the "Tie Bomber" so to speak. In one 4 mission it switched from ground attack to superiority and I did fine with an A-10. Hell, if anything being slow helped a bit when playing with a pad since you can't really slow down for long using L1, less chance of overshooting your target.

Played the multiplayer a bit. It's literally the PvP parts of Ace Combat Infinity, just without the F2P bull****.

Re: Ace Combat 7 - All the strangereal please
The Ace Combat universe exists in the fantasyscape of plane nerds, where the A-10 is still useful, MiGs aren’t tied to ground control by a very long string, and the Tomcat can hit things at long range.

(Actually the Iranians allegedly got some Phoenix kills, so maybe ‘Tomcat is good’ is less of a meme than the A10.)

The A-10 still does quite well against Toyota trucks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
