I was thinking more like a red paper cup and cola spill on his lap and boots

Aa A. No if you listen closely you can hear a glass breaking

What happened

I can picture Lanza being sooo excited about getting the cola right before he got back to base too😂

Trigger isn't helping. He's either silently watching from the centre of the scum while eating a granola bar or something (everyone being extra careful to avoid bumping him - do not agitate the mute psychopath, he *will* fuck you up if you make him drop that granola bar), or he's outright goading Huxian to start swinging, purely because he finds it funny.

But that guy's cola :(

R.I.P Lanza’s cola

Well, that kind of talk is usually going on in channels Trigger's not supposed to be able to hear, and a lot of it is just for the benefit of the player.

Trigger can only hear what's on Osean channels. And usually what's directed at him.

@@zjuraeventide8949 I assumed he (like all AC protags) is like Count with another radio onboard, he just is so passe that he just lets things happen. My personal headcanon is he's mute and doesnt bother chatting. (like his little convo with Count when fighting the Bats, he swithces channels but lets his actions speak)

@@gzer0x They do tend to mention how quiet he is. The only other character that they reference with this sort of personality was Cipher. But Cipher was more professional, Trigger is far more of a hot shot. Trigger is probably closer to Pheonix in terms of personality.

@@zjuraeventide8949 The only AC protagonist who ever "talked" was Blaze in AC5 and all he could say was yes or no.

"Five years ago, I lost 50,000 men in a blink of an eye....and the world just fxxking watched. Tomorrow, there will be no shortage of volunteers, no shortage of patriots. I know you will understand."

My exact thoughts

You got an S rank but you paid the price.

Lt. General Shepherd is a Belkan in Strangereal AU

Right... what the hell kinda named is Trigger, eh? Howd a muppet like you pass the selection?

+Brian Mason. She's the one person i felt sorry for. was just a normal day like any other until strider squadron showed up. you can hear the helplessness in her voice. This was basically Erusea's pearl harbor and she was right in the middle of it.

Hearing your enemies panicking just because of seeing you kinda makes you feel badass and well,guilty at the same time

Port girl memes intensify

I'd break down too if the whole harbor i was assigned to suddenly went up in flames in less than 10 minutes of the enemy arriving

@@DrSabot-A Within 10 minutes of just 4 jets arriving. It could be understood if the attacking force was like 50 planes strong, but with just 4, now that is absolutely terrifying.

@@therookies5740 Because Clemens is a traitor, and responsible for all the shit Strider Squad went through in these last two missions.

Hamilton: I'm going to take that Belkan nuke and then terrify both sides to ending this foolish war. Don't you get in my way!

But what about the other guy higher up? I reckon part 3 will reveal Clemens to be innocent, an idiot but an innocent one.

He got thrown to the wolves by higher ups. You know, the usual.

It's like, why would you risk sending your soldiers to try to capture a superweapon instead of sending spies to sabotage it? And then it dawned upon me...

@@forcexjr1566 and the fact that he changed the electronic warfare squadron's ETA without notice and pushed everyone to go with the mission makes him look suspicious to me.

And with UAVs providing guidance and live fire correction, the Alicorn's railguns are even more accurate than Stonehenge's ever could be.

This whole DLC is a homage to Hunt for Red October, there's a reason why the new POV character is a defence analyst (like Jack Ryan) and they keep playing that music that resembles the Russian choir from Red October's soundtrack.

But why?

Maybe she is angry at Clemens for what is he doing.

*PICTURE IT!*

*DON'T YOU SEE?!*

Agreed

HA HA!

David North just made Clemens' future go south

Man, don't bring me into this again...

And after knowing about him, that guy survived the ISAF attack. He's like a remnant of the Continental War, but he's picked up a certain extreme philosophy that you've heard before in previous games. Remember "The World without Boundaries" and "The Grey Men".

I had the exact same thought, AWWNB would be an excellent part of this storyline

@@RogueBipolarDemon Agreed. Considering that AWWNB was also a terrorist group, perhaps we might see them in the next mission. Most likely not but there will be an answer.

@@RogueBipolarDemon actually if AWWNB rebirthed on the Lighthouse War, i wonder what the oseans thought about the coup forces of Osea on AWWNB. Especially Bristow who's on Jail up to now probably, Palmer's working on an insurance company.

Were. They're both presumably dead now.

Is it weird that killing them actually made me feel bad. Legit speechless when I collected myself at the Mission Success and realized they're actually gone and (most likely) won't come back in the finale

They are crazy version of Espada Squadron.

they wasted two interesting characters

Sadly gone. It would've been cool to fight them in the final DLC mission with them stealing Osea's reconstructed Falken and Morgan (which is canon as per Aces At War: A History, as the two prototype planes flew over November City post-2010 with a X-02) in a last-ditch effort to redeem themselves.

Reference from Hrimfaxi crew: "All of this damages caused by four planes? How is this possible?"

@@ankaprabitamaadia2872 Yeah. Right. Because you know, erm *What fool would even suface your sub to launch balistic missile anyway?* ;) Still, it's a nice reference nontheless. (Althought I never play AC 5) :)

What about Invincible Fleet?

@@clausesanta5042 Similarly yes, but not counterpart. Fact that Torres was a part of Invincible Fleet

didn't the drone did it the dialogue on the latter mission said by the enginer said blaming it on trigger

*Don't you see?*

@@bryanadityahartono3215 This happens before Farbanti Strike. The information of Trigger getting framed was after Farbanti Strike and the falldown of the satelite network.

@@bryanadityahartono3215 well technically given the chronological order of this mission within the game itself trigger hasn't been cleared of that crime because they haven't found out that info yet. That info only became known after the battle of farbanti and this is way before that

@@jevonjoyeau7110 they did say imediately when he was released from the penal unit that "new evidence says you didnt kill the president" - they pry found it was a different bird, just not the extent of the drone situation.

Nikanor and Harling on the speech while the Razgriz is going to Sudentor 4. Offensive Campaign no. 4101 5. Belkan forces retreating to the north

Yes! Hilarious stuff. Too bad Zaptroxix didn't bother to locate his plane afterwards, while he was having his pre-death monologue. I imagine it'd still be flying backwards in a straight line.

Depends on what he does later on.

Thankfully the traitor is different this time

I didn't expect that Stonehenge can be installed inside Scinfaxi.

Send those "salvation" gangs into "SOLITARY"!

He went to Infirmary

You can

It's been 3 years, but I think I might have an answer to them. 1,2) Not sure about this one, but I once heard a theory which said the Clemens hired GRGM (General Resources Guardian Mercenaries, yes, *that* General Resources) pilots Scream and Rage to kill Trigger to prove Osea doesn't need aces like him. Which means the siblings want to kill Trigger partially because they're paid for it. They might also want to kill him because they tried to be like him but couldn't (see Rage's post-Scream-death breakdown). 3) Because Torres is batshit crazy. That's it.

maximaldinotrap Dont forget Gryphus 1?

Personally, Cipher and Trigger are greatest imo.

Trigger is one in the LightHouse war, and the pilots you mentioned are singularities in their respective wars. I think you got the word mixed up.

It's not explained as much as it is implied. During Unexpected Visitor, enemy pilots can be heard repeating a loyal passage to the cause, alongside the Rafale pilots willing to sacrifice themselves to ensure a WMD could reach its destination. That's not something regular old pilots would do. More likely than not, Torres intentionally made the sub go missing so that he could build up an army of deadly loyal and borderline-brainwashed soldiers who would do anything to see his visions come to fruition. He literally trapped over 300 men with him at the bottom of the ocean. It'll probably be explained later, but that's what I took from it.
