Planes

Just saw episode 2 and... I wish I still had tears...

Also, appart from ZOE, what could COFFIN do that glass canopies can't?

Localisation at its finest, lol

(Im sure the English account will probably say something different)

Edit: For context, I’m referring to the description for the plane, particularly for what’s in the second pic

I'm not a big fan of competitive multiplayer. Besides Infinity, I haven't played any online games in the last 15 years, so I have no idea how the Battle Pass works.

Do I need to complete daily tasks or just log in? Will the Battle Pass be valid for two months? What's the difference between the Ace Pass, the Premium Ace Pass, and the Premium Ace Pass Plus? Do I need to complete the tasks for the Premium Pass separately? Will the rewards for completing tasks be available immediately or after the season ends? And so on.

First playthrough, and I did just enough googling to not be spoiled, but I read one or two people say Knight is the most "narratively satisfying" way to play, and I was warned it would be really strapped on cash. So, beating an ace squad unlocks their plane and paint, if you have the cash. Even playing Knight, with a handful of S-ranks and selling every other plane (My beloved Indigo Gripen with my national flag) I could afford Terminator by the start of Mission 10. The same time I unlocked the Eagle. Should I ditch the SU-37 for the F-15C just to match with Pixy, or take it easy and coast along in an endgame jet?

From what I gather the Eagle has enough of everything with XMAA, UGBL and QAAM, and the Terminator doesn't even get the QAAMs, despite AC4 making a specific point about it having a rear mounted radar to shoot missiles at any direction.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas of the YF-23 paint; I’ll take several of your suggestions into account.

Didn't remember seeing this here so if it has been posted, mods, please delete

Completely different shapes from one another

Why are the explosions square?

Something my brother found, so i lowkey just took it cuz he didnt care for it.

To me, the YF-22 is and always will be the canon airframe for AC2 over the standard F-22. It was a massive bummer that AHL retconned it into a regular Raptor and we never got the true prototype back.

​That nostalgia alone made me grab this old 1/144 Trumpeter kit, and man... what a mistake. The kit is absolute garbage. It sat on my shelf of shame for literal years because almost nothing fit, seam lines were a nightmare, and the vertical rudders were straight up molded with the wrong angles/orientation. This thing just wanted to die in the box as if Phoenix himself double tapped it into a BINGO fireball.

​Eventually I figured I'd stop stressing rivet counting and just salvage it with a fun paint job. And honestly, what’s simpler than painting the whole thing red? So much easier than my last done Aurelian Viggen model.

​For the display base, I went with a little hangar setup. Lore-wise, I picture this as an early phase of the Zone of Endless project before the AI started relentlessly copying Phoenix’s combat data in the skies. It’s sitting in some dark, subterranean rebel hangar hooked up to diagnostic rigs while Grunder engineers run initial avionics calibrations and test the neural link algorithms before clearing the autonomous red devil for actual sortie.

​Pretty happy to finally have this cursed plastic done and off the bench.

There I was putting my life on the line only for Punkrock to bail on us 😡
