Anyone likes Ace Combat? Well, it might be not Realistic like IL2 but, damn Enjoyable.
I love the story, no doubt. So, a friend of mine made 3 Scenarios for Rise of Nations TP. Damn fun. First scenario you play as Yuktobania and you have to invade some land with a fleet, air force and the army. Pretty easy since Osea, the defenders are weak.
second and best, maybe. You have to invade osea itself. He made it so good, like, Ships are slower and turn way more slower than Vanilla ships, Airplanes are waaaaaaay more faster and turn slower then Vanilla airplanes. Artillery have way more Range, its so fun to bombard what you belive its a landing beach with arty way behind your lines. Names are also changed. What used to be "Conscript Infatry" or some kind of Nigerian unit is now called "Yuke Marines" or some shit. And probably the best, if you know ACE5 Story, you'll recognize the Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi Subs. Well they are there with super long range and ultra HP.
Well another friend have this mission too and we played it over net. Hella fun. I was Yuktobania and he was Osea. Hard as fuck, i loved to assign some airplanes of my "YNS Admiral Tsanev" (Real carrier in ACE5 :O), my only carrier to defend my troop transport routes, i had to evacuate infantry and tanks to heal up back in mainland, and to kill my oponent destroyers who raided my commercial routes 24/7.
Yes thats actually a Super Etendard going down ^^
And after that battle, my ass got Kicked. I mean, real kicked. my openent came in with 19 Airplanes and so i did. After the battle, he admited he lost 2 while i lost 10 + 1 from the Fleet Air Arm (Wich it auto took off, since i never wanted them to fight lol)
But for some reason, using DDs to protect commercial routes wasnt usefull. With airplanes increased Speed, the "AA" Missiles of the DDs, simply cant hit the Target, they are way too slow.
Best MP game E V A R .
