XFA-33 Fenrir Prototype - Ace Combat 7 Mod Preview

The mod is still WIP, but functional enough to warrant demo videos. Current ETA for a final version is about two months, give or take. Texture resolution will need to be upscaled from 1K to 4K, and attempts at making a High-Powered Microwave as Sp.W have been largely unsuccessful. That said, work on VTOL and LSWM has seen substantial progress over the months, with the LSWM mostly only needing a change in animation to imitate the cross-like detonation.

That's a very nicely-made overview of the Fenrir.

Much appreciated.

[badasstasticusbadass]

Canonically speaking, the Fenrrir is one of the aircrafts with most destructive power besides the Morgan, and this mod really pays respect to that.

[mechzilla]

The lwsm is literally the “I don’t want to do this boss fight” weapon

[arsmariastarlight]

As someone who played AC:X way too much, I am very glad that this mod pays respect on how OP the original Fenrir is

[SleepyPopups.Unedited]

I loved the Fenrir so much, I find this being very OP due to the gigantic spread of the modified MPBM [LSWM]. When it goes public, i would love to use it. It's gonna be a fun time

The Terror from Leasath has come

Tremble before me, Hugin
*TREMBLE BEFORE THE MIGHT THAT IS FENRIR*

[aguywhodoesntexist]

Leasath version is the one with VTOL, Aurelians removed it but made it lighter and more agile as a result.

[carlojoselitochua]

I am really excited for its release. I do hope that High-Powered Microwave will be its answer for highly maneuverable air targets from the likes of Pixy, Yellow Squadron, Ofnir & Grabac, Strigon & Pasternak, Mihaly and ADF-11 Twins.

[danilohenrique]

I'm sure the game will remain steady and strong for a long time thanks to the modders

[benthomas]

I had no idea that the Fenrir could hover, that makes it even more OP. Well, on top of practically the best stats in the game, the custom HUD, The MPBM.

[lim-kun]

Still a beastly fighter

Hopefully ac7 will make.it official

Much appreciated. Take your time with it. I will rather have quality work then a rushed project. The design and weapons are fantastic. Looking forward to it's release.

[cerealata]

Even the stall warning is vibing to the BGM from 0:08 to 0:12.

[ariesfpv]

These plane model swap mods are literally of insane quality! I started modding AC7 from a few days and now i understand how many hours of work need to be poured in projects like this to make it happen, really fantastic! Also i know that there is a method in modding that can create new skin slots so anyone can add how many skins they want for their favourite planes, is there any method to ADD new planes and not model swap them? I would love to have the same quantity of playable planes like Ace Combat Infinity😅 (literally they should do a remake for pc of that game it would be so much fun)

[SolutusEversol]

I am liking what I am seeing! If only I waited to make the Fenrir video I would have add an easier time obtaining references with this mod. 😁

[sparke]

I dare say that ApriliaBelka is doing beyond God's work here

[Cipher]

Nice to see the Fenrir being a bit OP. Was a bit sad that all the special aircraft in Aces 7 got a bit of a nerf, and what made them special in the previous games just taken away from them

[killerofzombs]

I love the fact that the inclusion of the VTOL feature just proves how wrong everyone was when they said VTOL is either too hard to implement or not possible with the engine of the game. Based modders yet again. All this thing needs is the quasar-like effect for the LWSMs and it's flawless.

[redactednano]

Woohoo! Thanks for the review!
I've always wanted to see what Fenrir capable of!
