The Su-27 is alongside the parts required to research before researching the Su-33 on the Russian fighter line on the aircraft tree.
The MiG-1.44 is alongside the parts required to research before researching the Su-35 and Su-37 on the Russian fighter line on the aircraft tree.
GAF-1 Varcolac is all alone in a new bit of the tree adjacent to the X-02 Wyvern. On that part of the tree there are new parts Bomb Enhancement Kit (SP. W) L and Missile Enhancement Kit (SP. W) L.

Wow. Can he be fought, or just seen?
Looking at the tiny bit of gameplay featuring Godzilla shown in Update #10 Trailer, it seems you can only see him.
The notification of the "GODZILLA-VS" Collaboration Event also mentions Mothra and King Ghidorah emblems specifically. I guess those will be available through challenges at a later date or as drops.
Now with the Draken in the game, can I get these paintjobs from the Finnish Air Force as skins?
No, I can't. It's nice to dream though.
Mostly just seen. I've gotten Mechagodzilla and Godzilla, and both were immune to target locks and damage apparently. As long as you get a few MG shots on them, you will be good for the challenges.

Another Yellow Squadron tourney coming up. 13, 04, and Gene's planes are the rewards. 04 and 13 have been buffed to cst 775 aircraft; don't know if they are at cst 800 equivalent damage levels though.
Low-vis emblem isn't a reward. Top 200 gives a second regular Yellow emblem with different music. Dare I waste fuel to somehow get top 200 for my proper emblem music now?

Finally ran into something that might have been Godzilla but due to international copyright laws wait it actually was him.
Heh, never even saw it, the results just notified me that he was there. Then a new mission to shoot him turned up. Hopefully after that you pilot a Jaeger.
They really should add some more AC0 music. No Spanish guitar is madness.
I really didn't like team deathmatch, they can keep it.

Yeah normal TDM doesn't really work all that well. It just devolves into people running loops around in the hopes of getting a lock and hitting someone with their Homing L equipped missiles. Naval TDM isn't great either, but at least you don't end up just flying loops for a few minutes.
FYI, 6x supplied fuel and the ability to 6x burn fuel are available now.
Go for broke if you get a red, gold, or black special raid. I was horrible with a 20k score on Solg gold/3 but, 5x supplied fuel + 1x stocked fuel + merc contract + research contract + S rank + no research = ~1.4 million credits.

Are the tournament repeats coming faster or in the same order as before?
Hoping I don't have to wait till next year for Razgriz return.

Welp ended up using like 30 fuel today since I activated my research contact.
Finally went ahead and got the ATD and ASF,
keeping to my Wardog though.
Got the 800k drop, 3 planes, a skin and about 300 supply tickes so that was nice.

I really wanna try for the wizard skin, but I'm not sure about using SAAM's. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try.
Razgriz-Specter
Member
2nd part is like 80 kills with the HCAA which requires the F-23 at Lv7.
Razgriz-Specter
Member
So whats up with the black Wardog/Jolly Roger skin? How do you get that.
F-15J -Tiger- has SAAM's at level 1. Load up on Sp.W Awareness and Damage parts and pray for considerate teammates on Pipeline as you dumb fire at fuel tanks and towers/cranes.
Isn't part 2 just 50 HCAA kills? I thought only part 3 was plane specific with 5 S ranks with the Widow.
I'm not sure what you're talking about here. There's a black/purple AC2 skin for the F-14A and a F-14D -Jolly Rogers- and Razgriz of course.
MVP S-ranked my first Pilot Aptitude test
and then my precious Yellow clipped a building on the final ring. lol
Razgriz-Specter
Member
Thought it had to be with the F-23.
It was either the Jolly Roger or Wardog's scheme(didn't get a good enough look) on an F-14 but the plane was a very dark grey while the typical yellow was all white.
Seen it twice in the last few days.
Basically
but a darker body.
The only F-14 with white tips instead of yellow is the F-14D Schnee Squadron skin.
Razgriz-Specter
Member
Yup thats it, didn't recall the Schnee having the Jolly Rogers' chevrons.
My bad.
Hasegawa are producing a Wardog Squadron variant of their F-14 Tomcat plastic scale model kit in 1/72 scale. It is scheduled to be released sometime in December. The kit can be pre-ordered from Hobby Search for 3,910 yen and AmiAmi for 3,400 yen.
Hasegawa's F-14 Tomcat scale model kits in 1/72 scale are known for great detail and easy fit.

Finally finished AC6. Narrowly beat out AC4 for me, but it's close. I loved the final mission, and a sortie against a fricking Sister Ray.
Glad to have another fan of AC6. I remember it being knocked pretty heavily back at release and it still is to a degree, but it's the best HD AC that we got at the moment. Chandelier is a boring finale to me but I'm not fond of the mission design on the last half of the game.
If you can, try to play/watch the Ace of Aces and coop missions.

I'm not sure why it was knocked, the story wasn't great or anything, but I liked it enough. The cutscenes were just fine, and the music was good. Funny how it's the final Strangereal mythos title, and also ties into the Ulysses disaster.
Some of my favorite missions were in the end, like Chandelier and(of course) the Liberation of Gracemeria.
My favorite mission had to be the aerial one against the battleships. I LOVE massive scale aerial battles.
I felt really bad for Garuda 2, he had a great VA.
Most of the hate AC6 got was from the cutscene direction and production value. After previous entries had well-drawn illustrations, shiny yet decent cgi, and no-name actors having fun in front of a poor green screen, AC6 gave us stilted, cardboard Garry's Mod characters that barely have an effect on the mission storyline. Rather than elaborate on Shamrock, Warlock, Windhover, or whoever else, we're barely introduced to Pasternak, play hide n' seek with war orphans and a has-been pilot, and watch Battlefield: Broke Company with some tank dudes who never run ops with Garuda. Also, go dance with the angels!
Mission-wise, everything was regarded as pretty good. The campaign could've been a few missions longer though. I personally thought there were too many ground attack operations.
The music was also considered really good but not as memorable overall compared to former games. VA was top-notch, as expected.
Multiplayer was a fun, ridiculous circle jerk that was ruined with p2w skins and Idolmaster planes.

I'm surprised that they aren't giving out the nickname Edge to top 20 or something. Since nickname Blaze was given away as part of the Razgriz tournament, I guess we can expect it to return with new special planes for each member of the squadron just like Wardog.
Chopper and Archer are rumored to be a challenge reward and/or monthly aircraft drop.
This second Strigon tournament has been surprisingly points crazy. I've been barely cracking the top 10k although I did waste a lot of time getting the ACZ skins first. I don't even have a decent F-14 so I'm not going to bother with Wardog too much.

Looks like the rumors were correct. F-14A -Chopper- is monthly drop for September alongside MiG-21bis Event Skin #03
So Strigon emblem #2 is another great effort by Bamco to troll its audience.
It's "The Sun, The Sky and My Girl."

The Tornado wouldn't have been added unless its usage rights were renewed for use in another game. TGS is around the the corner. BELIEVE
LACM is rumored to be a land attack cruise missile. Plus there's a retro aircraft special raid?
The piston aircraft hud looks neat. I'm not sure which fighter I'll invest in. Spitfire is a fave but I have a soft spot for the Lightning ever since the old top-down 1942 games.
for disappointment.

The prop planes are actually pretty fun. I'd be down for a WWII Ace Combat.
Burned about 30 stocked fuel in order to secure a top 3000 ranking for the previous Garuda tournament. The latest Garuda emblem plays the same victory music as the low-vis version, "Liberation of Gracemeria." Apparently tournament reward aircraft come unlocked at level five now and are able to reach level 15 without any 'special level cap increase' forms.
