Bleh I really wanted those idol master planes but just cannot get myself to want to play this game after stopping months ago. Felt like the progress was too slow and now there is a bunch more content. Dang free to play games... with old mobile game style gameplay limits.

So just a quick question for everyone. What is your favorite "super plane" of the series?

Personally I'm X-02 all the way.
Click to expand...

ADF-01 FALKEN because it looks ridiculous and it's a fighter with a laser system as a weapon which is the stupidest thing.

And here's something that's not an april fools.

SOLG I Special Raid rewards doubled.

11081508_934590416571412_4598342288734450207_n.png

Gripen C -Griffon- and FB-22 -Aries- are available as limited drops for April.


I haven't had much time to play for the past week or so and I'll have even less time for the next couple months as I concentrate on studying for my university entrance exams.
Got my ASF-X Shinden II to Lv. 11 though.

The new event is for the scarface XFA-21. I started out being ranked in the top 200, but I dropped HARD. Lmao
Click to expand...

The basic XFA-27 costs a crazy amount of money to upgrade, the SP version must be even more expensive. I checked out the news post on Facebook and the paintjob look quite nice.

After being so dissapointed for the first 2 weeks after not getting the FB-22 drop this month. I managed to get both that, and the Gripen in the same day. Life is good

So lucky! The only cash reward I've ever gotten from a gold box was the 76.5k credits.



Whenever it's going to be, we'll probably get another SP F-22...
Click to expand...

They should just use the fan art F-15 to represent Warwolf, or better yet, they should just have another fanart skin competition and give the plane to all the players for free.

And on another note. I just learned that you can draw in naval battle. That was a tense game.

Whose bright idea was it to get 5 A ranks on Hard missions with only certain aircraft for a nickname? Those maps are hardly played to begin with.

Short of the bomber challenge and those Hard missions, I'll have all of the new nicknames once I get a few more wins with a MGP Mig on Pipeline. Maybe then I'll play some TDM and be blessed with two million.

A top 1000 aircraft reward is always good, but Grabacr sucks. Both him and Ofnir were trash in Zero and amazingly even worst in Unsung War. Only decent stuff in this tournament is the low-vis Belka emblem and that "Legendary Belkan Air Force" nickname.

The Mobius 1 tournament should start on the anniversary and be called "Today's my birthday. You're not going to believe this. You all get ribbon insignias!"

I knew the upgrade cost had to be ridiculous once I saw that the Falken was a drop. Hope I can get both of them though. I also hope that the supply ticket planes are good this month as well since I've been saving.

New supply catalogue items:

F-14D -Jolly Rogers- 400 tickets
A-10A -Happy Holidays- 200

Green & Purple event skins for A-10A -HH- 100 per

Assorted Galaga emblems - 100 per

"Omega 11" nickname - 50

"Omega 11, bailing out!" radio message - 100 per
"Mobius 2 on standby."
"Mobius 3 through 7 on standby."
"Mobius 8 on standby."
"Preparations are complete, ready for battle."
"All aircraft follow Mobius 1!"

This means we're getting Megalith/Fortress Intolerance as the next special raid right?

Just did a SOLG level 3 for the first time. Forced sorties of course. I did pretty decent with 40k+ points. I see a gold box drop. So now I get super excited because I'm thinking I may get one of the drop planes for the month, but no. I get 30 tickets, 600 credits, and 1500 credits.

I had to turn off the game after that one.

I got both of the plane drops yesterday. I'm going to keep on using my Typhoon -Makoto- since the ADF-01 -Osea- has such high upgrade costs. Getting the Megalith as a special raid would be really cool.

Just got an ADF-01-. Uh, is it any good?

Makoto is such a beast at B57R.

Wish I could get more special sorties, they seem uber rare.

Do you mean ADF-01 -Osea-? As a base 825 fighter, it'll handle any lower ranked lobbies just fine. You'll have trouble against anybody competent in a decently built aircraft. Unless you like the plane's skin or history, the vast majority of special aircraft are useless since they're so expensive to upgrade.

How rare are special raids for you? As a predominantly free player, I get about 2-4 a week with 3 sorties everyday. A/S-ranking 2 or 3 missions in a row in a single lobby should have something pop.

Heh, I usually just do one with all three stocked. Probably should pace myself better. If I get to hear Zero in all its HD glory just once, I'll be happy.

Try doing 3 a day. The sortie 6 times in 48 hours is usually how I stick up my fuel.

On another note. Of course I'd get into a room with a special raid mission...and the host changes it because he doesn't like it.

No missions have Zero as their bgm yet. Best you can hear is the 60 second victory tune if somebody mvp's with the original Galm emblem.

I hate when people kick you from rooms because you score to highly. It was a freaking SOLG mission :/ watchout if you ever come across ACE408KING. It's not like he's a bad player either. We played 2 games. I MVP'd the first and he MVP'd the second.

Not quite sure what you mean? Emergency Air Strike always takes place in Pipeline Destruction and Emergency Ground Strike always is in Tokyo and Emergency Sea Strike is always around Comona Base. The previous mission you play doesn't have any effect on the special raid or mission you happen to get.

I think it was Emergency Ground Strike. It was only the second one I've ever gotten, heh. (The first being the falling satellite.)

What Special Raid you get is completely random, when you get it is also completely random and how well you do and what mission you've played beforehand has no effect on the likelihood of a Special Raid appearing.

At the moment you can get SOLG I, II and III + Emergency Air, Ground and Naval Strikes (Which show up for a limited time). The one you want the most is SOLG III as that gives you the most money but is also pretty difficult to beat.

Like Aerocrane said, Emergency Air is at Pipeline. There's no Special Raids in B7R.

There's also Stonehenge IV and Aigaion IV but those are really rare and I don't think they're active right now.

I kind of hope there never is a Mobius tournament. I don't have the right planes and doubt I could handle the stress of keeping a top 200 rank for at least 2-3 weeks.

I was so close to finally scoring 100k points! Dang it! Less than 5k left.

Hopefully something big comes out of the above picture. A hd collection, or better yet, new entry into the franchise.

Would completely derail my Wii U purchase if we got a Ace's 7 or HD collection on PS4 lol. Wonder how much of the just reported "50% net income increase" Bandai Namco got from Yokai Watch is trickling down into other games... probably none lol.

I'm playing through AC6 on a friend's 360(I don't own one), and it's funny going from it to Infinity. Infinity is gorgeous, but 6 is so much more true to series conventions. Everything in Infinity feels deliberately throttled back, from damage output to speed, to the A.I. being nigh impossible to dogfight.

From the 19th of May until the 1st of June.

From the Facebook page:

The "I don't care if it's a lie. Just tell them Mobius 1 is already here!" - Online Co-Op Missions Ranking Event will be starting soon!
The "Reaper with a ribbon" was said to be able to take a single aircraft and provide the power of an entire squadron.
Here's your chance to see if you can make the same claim by flying the F-22A -Mobius1-, as piloted by the hero of "ACE COMBAT 04 Shattered Skies".
Carve a new legend into this infinite sky!
[Ranking Rewards]
The "F-22A -Mobius1-" special aircraft, "Su-37 -Jean Louis-" special aircraft, "Mobius" emblem, "ISAF" emblem, "Special Aircraft Lv. Cap Increase Request Form" and other items will be given as rewards to players who achieve the required ranks.
*There is a chance that the rewards will be obtainable in future events.
"I don't care if it's a lie. Just tell them Mobius 1 is already here!"
"Mobius-1 is sure to create an opening for us."

I'll update this post with the ranking brackets for the rewards later when list is made available in-game.

I assume that we'll get another mini tournament after the maintenance since there's 5 days between the end of the maintenance and the Mobius 1 tournament.
