I don't know why they didn't bring back the PvE gamemodes like they had in Infinity. Those were hella fun.

You forgot to mention the A-10 with Rockets. You’re helping the team as a decoy :)

[noface]

Really miss the game modes in ace combat infinity where it was just your team against another to see who could blow the most stuff up

STANDARD MISSILES ARE NOT USELESS!
I LOVE MSL

>Railgun Snipers
I feel personally attacked

I actually prefer matches without SP weapons. At that point it's based on skill and nobody can complain "Well you used special weapon X which is worse than special weapon Y". Plus I feel it's just fun

I said before and I'll say it again. Assault Horizon has a better multiplayer than 7 even with that god awful DFM everywhere. It has bots, more maps, time and score settings, 16 player matches, more game modes and more maps.

I want to like 7's multiplayer but honestly I had more fun in Assault Horizon.

If I, I just focus on armor and misc part only, especially the best part is High-Speed Data Link Antenna for more improved the Standard Missile. If the part for body, I just choose enhances the pitch and roll or choose the Bulletproof Fuel Tank if you've got one slot left.

Actually, my favorite set I've used since ACIF is the missile all-in set, even when SP.W is allowed. Nothing more satisfying than to troll enemy players with constant high homing missile alerts ;)
In fact, they're quite useful when you max up its capabilities.

Shades of AC6 players who bought the "Awakened Miki" livery for the Su-47.

Tip if you have a SU57 firing pulse lasers at you or a yellow 13 melting you down with his laser then make sure you fly into the clouds

I seriously see some people say the lasers are op and you can’t avoid them

I actually love the multiplayer in this game. It’s pretty competitive. Still really needs the AC Infinity type co-op missions. Thanks for the tips!

Also on the point of Missile Only matches, a strategy that usually works for me is to get a decently rounded plane and upgrade your missiles, maneuverability, and your speed (I main the F/A-18 just because I have a particular affinity for that jet). Then minimize the amount of turn fights you get into and try to let the battle play out without forcing anything too much (remember: "read the tide of battle). Why should you minimize turn fights? If you slow down too much you'll be a sitting duck against enemy missiles that are upgraded considerably. The same goes for everyone else if you have good missiles; try to pick the slowest moving plane and engage them. If it works great, if not fly around for another shot; chances are if they're target fixated and trying to turnfight they'll be easy pickings the next time around. And if they stall? Free points, baby! Just remember to keep your speed up and look for opportunities when they come about. Trust me, in Battle Royale, there will be plenty of 'em.

The multiplayer in this game is so painfully weak.

[akisakis]

CO-OP and fast or the online will be dead in 2-3 months for sure

[sadfunda]

the F15s are really maneuverable as they are
id recommend a really simple and fun build for 2000 sp.w. enabled rooms:
F15 with HCAA special, and one SP.W.Homing upgrade. that just puts it at 2000, you get 50 special missoles with good speed, homing and reload, making it really comfortable to play
only thing is the multiplayer homing upgrade, that i feel like is fairly early on the mp tree

[alecadanglao]

PvE like in infinity cmon can't we take down the arsenal bird while trying to out do the rival squadron

[planet]

Mig-31 Is an absolute beast. Its untouchable lol (Lower Tiers)

[meaterschmitt]
