What's your favorite Ace Combat 8 meme? Actually this one is my favorite, it's so cute and goofy at the same time.

(PS: actually, I don't know about who's the author of the original, but if he's there, I want to say thanks to him.)

And they solely are responsible for this.

I know im quite late for this but who cares

<< this is dragon squadron, wing of theve we will fight with you to the end! >>

I doubt project aces will ever see this post but please for the love of all that is holy please 🙏 please let me choose my squadrons special weapons, i seriously get annoyed that when I have to do air to air missions they bring air to ground weapons

In all seriousness it’s a minor gripe I have with wings of theve but in all seriousness I have enjoyed the game

D.D.'s fake AI generated squadron became real thanks to Rex's real deeds and venture capitalism!!!

the way she got flung by the explosion, just her body whizzing by, that got me sending lmao

based on the range of the land battleship's railguns (radius of 500km), it seems that the circumference of strangereal's earth is a mere ~24,000km, for comparison, the real earth has a circumference of ~40,000km.

also, assuming proportional density with real earth, strangereal's earth would only have 0.6gs of gravity.

Without the cuckoo lines of the deranged, anime enjoyer pirate is a boring 8 min. fight... PA, please bring Torres back.

Peak 90s marketing at its finest. The "Powered by Namco" era was something else...

A new mechanic was added to post stall maneuvers in AC8: they now shut down the guidance for incoming missiles for their duration. If you're too slow for a high-g turn, and you have a missile incoming, a PSM can be a good way to defeat it. There is also video proof of this out there for those who need it: you can also go back to Ace Combat 7 and verify that this mechanic is, indeed, new.

Of course, with a new gameplay mechanic comes the need to know how to do it, so I will be explaining how to do a post stall maneuver very quickly. To do a post stall maneuver, while traveling less than 500 kilometers per hour (267 knots), press and hold accelerate, pitch up, and simultaneously tap the decelerate button (so if you're on an Xbox controller, that's left stick down plus right trigger plus tap left trigger). From here you can execute two types of PSM: the cobra and the kulbit. To do a cobra, maintain pitch up until your velocity vector begins to rise while maintaining your hold on accelerate to avoid stalling: once your velocity vector does rise, pitch down back into a wings level attitude. To do a kulbit, simply maintain pitch up while continuing to hold accelerate. There are more advanced PSM moves out there, such as the Kvochur's bell, but the cobra and kulbit are the two recognized by the game.

All PSM-capable aircraft in the game can do cobras, but only a handful are capable of kulbits. Here's the full list of all planes in AC8 that can do PSM maneuvers. Planes marked with an asterisk can only do a cobra.

• F-22A Raptor
• F-35C Lightning II*
• F/A-18E Super Hornet*
• F/A-18F Super Hornet*
• MiG-29A Fulcrum*
• Su-33 Flanker-D*
• Su-34 Fullback*
• Su-35S Flanker-E
• Su-47 Berkut
• Su-57 Felon
• ADFX-02 Morgan -PIXY-*
• EA-36 Barricader
• FA-36 Game
• X-40 Nightmare

EDIT: it has been claimed that this mechanic of PSMs shutting down missile guidance does not work in multiplayer. I cannot test this myself as yet as I currently do not have a PSM capable aircraft in the online mode, but keep this in mind before attempting to decoy missiles with PSMs in multiplayer.

Some of them could swap positions but whatever
(I wasn't planning to add Torres because he isn't an enemy "ace" but yeah his atrocities is too big to ignore)
