Avoiding DFM

[Andy]

Dog fight mode, which I'm sure some well meaning developers spent a lot of time on, is boring and unsatisfying to me. It is just a QTE designed to waste my time till the enemy jet flies past some setpiece on the level so the game can try and impress me with a falling object or explosion.

Screw that. Let me shoot down these jackasses normally instead of making them invulnerable to guns and infinite flares. Is there some way to mod this game? At least to let me replace those godawful anime skins.

It looks like there would be a fun game under there if they weren't always yanking the controls away from me.

Play multiplayer, an older Ace Combat title, or wait for Infinity. Honestly DFM was a nice attempt to try to make a new Ace Combat game without the "same old dogfighting different story" formula from the previous games. The only problem is they made it too centric by forcing it on the player to advance certain plot points. It works well in multiplayer since other dogfighting games usually end up having everyone fly around in circles forever. Also, if you didn't know, you only have to use DFM on TGT_LEADs.

The anime skins are from Idolmaster, another game by Namco. It's just a way to promote it.

just try to shot them with 2 missile, a lot of cpu can kill without dfm
only 20%- of enemy that you must go to dfm

eg. pipeline and siege, all enemy can kill by no dfm

So are there no mod tools for this game on PC?

You wanna avoid dogfight mode, get a PS2 and play Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies.
