Every time I play ace combat, I end up trying to circle behind an enemy, and we just continue doing circles and backflips for 5 minutes while I try to find them

Stop dogfighting and switch targets. The A.I. is dumber against head on missile strikes or midrange missile strikes from behind. For example, against super maneuverable enemies (bosses), fly far away and then turn around and fly straight at them at full speed. If they try to play chicken with you they'll usually run face first into missiles. Also, in certain situations, stagger your missile launches. Several missiles fired in quick succession can be dodged as if they were just one missile. If you wait between missile launches, the enemy has to dodge several missiles coming from different vectors. You have to slow down to change directions (physics). Fire the second (third) missiles while they're changing directions (slowing down) to dodge the first one.

Also, aircraft have a range in which they are most maneuverable (speaking of AC7). Generally speaking, for most planes, this is 600-1800. If you fall below that pitch down, speed up, and you'll do much quicker high g turns again. It also might make the enemy fly straight towards you. HVAAs go well with that btw. Also, get accustomed to target switching. When you're circling, have a look on the radar to see the heading of other planes around you. Quick switching and a standard missile or two can bag you many kills.

you're not alone i was using the F15J against more manueverable SU 30's something aircraft, we've been doing circles and circles for several times i couldn't make a "LOCK ON" i was losing precious time, its getting frustrating already... eventually i quit chasing that bastard i let him escape to look for another target......

Interesting data: In AC5, the high-G turn was "doable" using the air brake button. It didn't have the same end result as AC6 and AC7 but it was pretty effective, specially fighting against Grabacr and bombing the Scinfaxi.

@JenkemSuperfan Жыл бұрын

Airbrake as in throttle down, or autopilot?

@@JenkemSuperfan I think autopilot triggered pressing rudder left and right at the same time. If you pressed R1 and L1 at the same time while turning, the plane would loose speed but make a sharper turn. Beware, my memory may be failing, I played AC5 15 years ago 🤣

I'm a new player to Ace Combat game. I bought a gamepad recently and started playing AC with it and I got the problems controlling and tracking the enemies. Sometimes I found that it's close but still not that close enough to perform a gun firing, and I often got missiles being dodged by the enemies even when it's fully locked from a distance (I know that I can dodge it and so do the enemies, however, nobody would like to see your enemies dodging your attack). Certainly an underrated 101 video, very helpful and I'm gonna try them one by one in the game.

I am new to video games started playing forza at 62 and am now 65 I want to learn to fly and play Ace combat 7 I have bought flying tigers over China, Ace combat 7 and a xbox hotas one flight stick. I just started watching Ace combat 101 and have subscribed to your channel. Have I wasted my money on a hotas 1. I see you use a controller could you tell me which is best and how to set up and what buttons do what. Maybe make a short video about controller setup or hotas set up for dummies. I know this is asking a lot but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks (GT) Speciouspear411 Xbox one X

@xxSiNister777xx 4 жыл бұрын

Ace Combat isn’t too difficult of a game to learn. The basic setup for AC7 is R1 and L1 are for yawing and R2 and L2 are for acceleration. I played the games when I was younger so I switch the buttons up. (I played the AC series with controller and not a Hotas and I’m not sure if you’ve been helped but I’ll try.) the left stick is for moving the plane. On expert you can roll the plane by turning the stick left and right. You control the pitch by moving the stick up and down( up is down and down is up) Circle is for the missles, bombs and special weapons, while the touch triangle button is for switching targets. X controls the guns and I think square switches weapons. The touchpad( or equivalent button for Xbox or PC, I play PS4 so sorry again). That’s the basic controller setup and it does a pretty great job. In terms of hotas ACF(AceCombatFan) should have a video of him using it, but the controller is pretty fun to use as well You probably didn’t need this seeing as it’s been a month or two since you said this but... yeah

Very informative video. I played AC3 way back when, so I'm not completely new to the expert controls, but I'm not comfortable using them in AC7 for anything but the simplest missions. Trying to fly through the marine platform in mission 11 on expert controls is a hair raising experience. Since you have to fly sideways to course correct I end up going all over the place and crashing about 30% of the time. Thankfully, the simplified controls are sufficient for campaign mode, at least on the easier difficulties. About the only thing you lose out on is the barrel roll as far as I can tell.
