Ace Combat: Broken Line (OOC/Closed)

[Beiarusia]

Hi everyone( this is role play) I am Mathias Lucius szymanski i was born in the U.S. bit was shuttled around as was my father was a NaTO pilot I am new here and I am wondering if an Air Force like ISAF would like to have a very good YF-23E pilot.n I was trained for many years under many legendary flight academy's paid by scholarships won by my high test scores and flight sim experience

If this is supposed to be IC then note that this is Strangereal, and as such America and NATO (or any real nations/organizations) do not exist. The year is 1992, and as such ISAF has yet to be founded, and even then Usea is not a part of this story. No pilot is starting with a high-level aircraft such as the YF-23 or anything similar. Considering the high number of players application review will also be more rigorous.

[The balkens]

Ill get one up soon.

Well technically,the yf23 WAS still in development so yeah, sorry about that, I thought this was based on the Balkan war
Also how about a F5 tigerII it tiger III that or a f20 tiger? Also sorry I had NO idea I thought the ace combat series was based on a fictional region inside the regular world. So thanks for clearing that up. MIND BLOWNi only played ace combat 4 and only to the 6 th mission on normal mode ( pathetic I know) also in retrospect I WAS using a regular play station controller not the specialized " joystick"

Dont worry man, take it slow. If you have time to burn you can read up the wikis and the cutscenes in Youtube.

Also, alot of basic info is in the first page. Do take a look

No problem. Ace Combat is set in two universes, either Strangereal (4, 5, 6, Zero) or Real World (Assault Horizon). This story is set three years before the Belkan War (which was set in 1995). The main setting will be the southern Osean continent with the fictional countries of Beiarusia, Dorusia, and Seian. Pilots can be from any country in Strangereal, which are listed on the OP under NATIONS.

The aircraft are broken down into Tiers which roughly translate to age and capability. Older aircraft are lower Tier while modern, cutting edge aircraft are higher Tier. The YF-23 is Tier V along with the YF-22 and Flanker-F, among others. No one can start with these aircraft and they must be purchased via your earnings. Everyone is given a a budget of $5 million to start off with, which is enough to buy any Tier I or Tier II aircraft, as well as some Tier III aircraft. Anything above your budget is generally unavailable.

You really should give the games a try (I use a controller). 4 is good, but I think 5 and Zero are the best of the series.

1, 2, 3, and X are strangereal as well!

5 was pretty good plotwise but the lack of interchangeable special weapons was a massive disadvantage to gameplay.

Perhaps I will watch gameplay, but personally I don't like ruining a game I never finished

I have yet to have the opportunity to pay any of the PS1 era games, though I did just get my hands on 3 (American, sadly). I knew they were Strangereal but the list was starting to get lengthy. Didn't really mind the lacking of interchangeable weapons in 5. Compared to 6 it felt as if there were still a lot more options to choose from, plus my favorite plane was available (MiG-31).

So long as you know a bit about Strangereal then the plots of the games won't really matter much to the RP story.

I find it fortunate that the ACs which I played are somehow interconnected.

AC2, 5 and Zero all had Belkan connections. Infinity was.... just grabbing as many kills as possible

So much so that I enjoyed writing an AC Novel years back, only to have it lost when the hard disk died, with no such thing as gmail or docs or dropbox to back it up

A moment of silence for our fallen works of writing.

I'm glad that Strangereal is coming back for the next game. Think Osea and Eurusea were confirmed so far. Assault Horizon had so much potential but then dropped the ball.

A tear rolls down my cheek as I remember all of the lost great documents and and other amazing works
Does anyone know which games are connected in story and still prelude the Balkan war I need to do some research.

The Belkan war in essence is the earliest Canon in Strangereal.

Here's a summary just for ya.

Ace Combat 1 is seemingly standalone.
Ace Combat 2 is post-Belkan War, I made a mistake, it was linked to AC4 in terms of locations (USEA)
Ace Combat 3 is decades after.
Ace Combat 4 is after, and in another Continent.
Ace Combat 5 is set 15 years after the Belkan War (The first of my favourite link-ups)
Ace Combat Zero is the Belkan War (I literally wept at the CD game shop when I saw the copy of Ace Combat Zero. I broke into my bro's room to access the PS2 in the middle of the night just to play it.)
Ace Combat X is set after, in a different part of Strangereal.
Ace Combat 6 is set after, in a different part of Strangereal.

Assault Horizon is in Earth but... sigh.

I'm thinking that OP made this RP to give us a story of Strangereal before the Belkan War

But hey, isn't there another War before the official Belkan War,(That was the Cold War, and they sold land due to the Recession) the one where Belka lost most of it's southern lands which became Ustio and Co?

Here's a summary just for ya. Okay then, soo....is the f20 tiger in any of the games? Of not just for clarification, the F20 tiger was the main contender for "F1" fighter programme in which the F16 was chosen. and prototypical production ( at least int the real world ) was discontinued in 1982

Ustio and the other countries gained their independence as Belka suffered through a crippling economic collapse. It was easier and cheaper to simply allow these secession movements to break away. When the Rald Party came to power, and Belka took to military force against Osea, these new countries were violently taken back into the nation.

AC4 is set in the year 2004 and deals somewhat with the aftermath of the Ulysses asteroid strike. AC5 takes place in 2010, and while technically after the asteroid strike is, as you said, more concerned with the Belkan War. AC6 (2015/2016) is again about the asteroid strike.

That was it! I was think there was a succesionist movement but I wasn't sure thank you.
Also I remember the mention of the asteroid strike in AC4 and a strange weapon called Stonehenge and being the young kid I was I had ABSOlUTLY no idea what was going on also I was going to watch game play and monitor the discussion alternately

[Relikai]

I find it funny, that the games concerning non-Usean nations basically ignore the Asteroids, but have all these cool anti-Asteroid weapons. Arkbird for one.

They don't ignore them so much as they weren't as important. Osea and Yuktobania suffered some minor strikes but were generally well-off. Usea suffered some damage but was protected by Stonehenge and Megalith. Estovakia was devastated and its anti-asteroid weapon wasn't operational at the time of the strikes. The strike took place in 1999, so the Belkan War was unconcerned for obvious reasons, it's laser weapon being intended as an anti-missile system from the start. X was set in the southern hemisphere and completely avoided the strikes.

The Arkbird was not originally meant as an anti-asteroid weapon. It was partially transferred to such a role after the destruction of Stonehenge and Megalith by ISAF and was generally meant to clean up the debris orbiting the planet.

Acepedia really changed since 2010.... it was still AceWikia back then O_O

So many changes to the histories, it's like Disney Star Wars Ace Combat damn.

How have the histories changed?

[Planet hephestus]

Say two questions, one: does anyone remember the first time they got a missle warning and what was your response?
And second: does anyone still have " instinct" from playing the game like hearing the missle warning sound when you sense danger or " seeing " the radar lock on if you are looking for someone because I do.

Want a timeline?
0: 1995 Belka vs THE WORLD! (jk mostly Ustio)
1: 1995 (not sure which came "first" between 1 and 0, but due to numeration I'd like to think the coup launched in 1 was by pro-Belkan militants) FCU (presumeably) vs rebels
2: 1998 Same as above, though for legit plot reasons
4: 2004 ISAF (lead by the FCU) vs Erusia
5: 2010 Osea vs Yuktobania
6: 2015 Emmeria vs Estovakia
X: 2020 Aurelia vs Leseath
3: 2045 Neucom vs General Resources, the UN tries to step in, then Ourborous just fucks shit up.
Hope that helps clarify some.

1) Been too long for me to remember the first time.

2) To a degree. Depending on the situation, I either duck and began invasive maneuvers (during dogfights typically) or if I can I'll use the radar to pinpoint the location of the missile and act accordingly, either evading or continuing as if if I know the shot is trashed.

Personally, I meant in real life but I guess that's just me
Also rhe first time I juststarted spinning untill I was hit and killed or just roll all the way into the city below in the first mission and also the ps2 I was playing on didnt have a save card so I just had to start over every day and I got good enough to somewhat survive rhe missions up to mission 6 but I would run out of misled before completing the objective

Yell out MISSILE! BREAK BREAK! then wondering why I didn't have any flares...

So in terms of fun to play I think AC2 (particularly the Japanese version, I don't know about the american version, but the narrator (I'm not sure you have a proper AWACS or not, it's not explicitly shown) in the Japanese version is a Texan cowboy (all voicework is in English, it's just the text that's Japanese, so close enough, eh?) tops it; you generally feel OP and badass pretty much right from the start, having a cowboy yell out YEUV GOT A BOOGEY ON YER TAIL! every few seconds just makes it all the more ridiculous and fun to play, especially once you get the XFA-27, where now instead of going fast and fucking shit up, you go faster and fuck twice as much shit up, for four times the fun!
