Nuclear Option

Nuclear Option

PvE should lean more fantasy
Its gotta be way easier to hit ground targets. The game is about flying aircraft & destroying things below. Constantly wrestling opposing ground-to-air missiles while my barrage of 8 AGM-48's each get perfectly sniped out before hitting a SAM truck is absurd.

There's zero high altitude fighting opportunities when the missiles being shot at you are unrealistically good & your weapons won't work unless less than half the recommended effective range required.

No thanks. There's already several current power fantasy flying games available.
The problem is relying only on slower and limited AGMs, Lynchpins exist for reason. They can take down even a basic Corvette.

Saturation attacks and clever targeting of most threatening units. It's really not hard to destroy enemy columns and positions.

It's all about learning the effective range for specific enemy units, and for your ordnance. You're likely having problem with Strato and Boltstrike, those can see you far.

skill issue
Make a scenario where every enemy vehicle is an ammo truck. Easy gameplay and cool explosions guaranteed.

In all honesty, this becomes a power fantasy in the Ifrit vs. the AI. It's kind of nice as is.

My friend, you have Ace Combat, I don't think N.O needs to go that far...

It's super easy man. Maybe you should try clearing AA first though...and how to saturate targets.
my strat is just dropping a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of bait missiles & bombs before the big payload

works most of the time

Well, that's what you actually should do.

You just need to learn the miracles of the Lynchpin Cricket, the AGM-48+AGM-68 Chicane, the ARAD-116+Jammer Medusa and the PAB-80LR Revoker and Ifrit.

Once those click in right, your fight against the ground AA becomes pure power fantasy.

Ace combat normally goes on sale for like 6 bucks, try that instead
Project Wingman is good.
If you want I can post a video to show you how to properly take out SAM systems with very limited AGM's, there is a method to it if your interested :D
