I unfortunately learned the whole big planes still having hitboxes after being shot down the hard way
Conquest Mode a glorified version of Ace Combat 5’s Arcade Mode.
If only i had a dollar for every time i shacked into a godamn bomber...
I frequently lose by slamming into an airship or C130
I crashed some many times on them I learned to shoot them from far away and don't stay in the way. ^^;
Died like 5 times to it, gald someone else has experiences pain too
Good Video. I have some advanced tips that may help.
- as mentioned in the video and in the comments it is crucial to hire "wingmen" to take off the heat, in that regard you should always prefer quantity over quality; the friendly AI will only once in the blue moon hit there target and secure a kill, especially air ships which i have never seen kill an enemy plane; they do take the attention of more enemy planes tho; also every friendly AI is immortal
- in the higher alert levels (>10) it is more important to secure your mission objectives than to shoot down enemy planes for points or cash; at the time of writing this post i have only played conquest on hard mode but i think this also applys to the other difficulties; until you complete the main objective, wave after wave of enemys will spawn (sometimes right in front of you) and put you in missile hell, but if you complete your main objective only the special squadron (Anubis, Greene, Federation Strike Force, etc.) will spawn (as a rearguard if you will), the normal enemys will stop spawning and you can secure your cold hard cash by killing the normal enemys first and then the special squadron
- this is probably a general game mechanic but I only noticed it in conquest mode; do not and I repeat do not try to fight at an altitude over 33000, your afterburner will die and you can only fly at a speed of around 600 give or take, when you are at a high alert level it is incredibly difficult to dodge, fight or reach your next target; wise versa if you want to get to a target quickly try flying near the ground you will be faster and enemy planes and missiles have a harder time catching up to you
- get the Project Wingman Special Plane as fast as possible; this may take away some of the fun by using different planes but the Project Wingman is a GOD SEND with it´s special missiles which can target multiple planes and railgun that can one shot all planes and air ships; I personally use different planes at the beginning of a conquest game to switch it up and use the Project Wingman at the high alert levels, because you will get suffocated by enemy planes and missiles
That would be all that comes to mind for now. I do hope this will help someone.
P.S. English isn´t my first language, so I apologize for the grammar.
I have another one as well,
One extra tip I can think of is that personally I think it's easier to try and do the special missions first so you do as many as possible on lower alert levels, for example missions involving experimental units and different priority targets, etc.
In the score hunt missions it's just fire and dogfight away until the priority squadron spawns in.
Tip 11: pair a controller to your computer.
Tip 11.2: play on xbox
Step 1- Get the MG 29, load 2 MLAA, MLAG and AOA Limiter
Step 2- Get Chimera
Step 3- Profit
Step 4- Get the dayum PW MK.1
Step 2.5- abuse the nuke
I've fallen in love with this game. I don't know why. It feels perfect. It's an arcade shooter. But the details bring you into the fictional world... with a litte lite sci-fi. It's great.
After being thoroughly dissatisfied with ace combat 7, I fell in love with PW too.
Basically these tips are "play the game, don't die, kill your enemies". My tips are:
1) stay below 10.000 metres at ALL times, otherwise you'll get stuck at 600 kmh speed. This is a game mechanic, not a bug, by the way.
2) On high alert levels, have fast planes and flares. Literally the entire federation airforce will be after you, so you better get flares and a fast plane. However, if you can dodge all missiles with AoA safely, better pick that.
3) on Xbox, don't max out your allies. The game still softlocks whenever you choose an unavailable box (e.g. a 6/6 rookie pilots box turns grey), so it's better to buy all airships before the rest of the pilots. And about the latter, you should buy them in the reverse order (from war hero to rookie pilot)
Yeah about #2, you will literally be taking on airships at a rate that make them feel like regular fighters.... Great for any adrenaline junkie.
I've had lots of issues with #3. Especially when it comes to upgrading my airships. My current plan to deal with this is to get all of the airships except for the basic anura until I've fully upgraded them all
EDIT: get all of them except the 205. You can't upgrade them without mouse and keyboard unless you have the anura
You can use a mouse in your xbox. It's a workaround.
tip, the first plane, the T-whatever is very good for like the first 3-4 missions. it can out turn the ai in a MG-31 (or what its called) if you use the speed controls
Very good tips.
It's difficult to use ground SP weapons effectively.
I've just started Conquest and I keep crashing into the large planes by accident.
I will keep the stuff about careful purchasing, wingmen and resource missions in mind.
Afterburners and gun pods are helpful.
Hm. I suppose I have a habit of getting fixed on a single target.
And yeah, key bindings are important. So is learning how to dodge without flares.
gunpods are really bad tho, use mlaa mig-29 or planes with urmb if you are skilled enough till you get the PW mk1
@@n00breconbr75 The gunpods work very effectively when you figure out the right angle to approach from, in my experience.
Just saying this, if you have enough for it, BUY THE ARCION AIRSHIP. It might barely hit anything (like most npcs), but the railguns it has (especially in mark 2/3) absolutely CARRY in later alert levels, half the time with how many enemies and airships there are chances are the railguns will hit atleast something, and it destroys enemy airship hardpoints like nothing, alongside the other benefits of allies
Should I play campaign or conquest to get the f14
Imagine not using a controller
Great video... would be great to have more Project Wingman Videos, IMO.
Thanks, buddy! Got any video suggestions?
When it comes to hiring, is it better to get a lot of cheap units first or a few higher end ones first? Are air cruisers worth the cost in the beginning and which ones are more effective that the others? Also, how does one mitigate the threat level? I got to a 3rd area and the air became more filled with missiles than sky.
My suggestion would be to hold off on buying wingmen untill you feel like you can no longer dodge missles on your own. IMO anyting below frontline ace really isn't worth it. They fly really slow, they can't shoot down anything and get shot down very easily. You want to go for frontline ace a the very minimum. I usually play the first 3 to 4 missions without any wingmen and then just buy a war hero.
Later on when you get to shoot down airships and make some real money, you can always opt to buy some extra cannonfudder with mercenary, competent and rookie pilots. If you have a bunch of them they will help drawing the enemy away from you.
@@CyclonicTuna023 I would go the complete opposite way. the wingmen are as far I know invisible and you really want to fill the air with as many as possible. They don't shoot down shit but the more you have in the sky the more missiles are targeting them instead of you.
@@CyclonicTuna023 They don't get shot down, friendly AI is immortal. It's best to buy whatever is cheapest because they're essentially just distractions for the enemy, and the more you have the better
I started playing in cockpit view for realism. But working the camera joystick while turning prooved to be so clumsy and inaccurate that I just switched to 3rd person for those big fights. I still go back to cockpit view as the enemies dwindle down. I wish I could play this game in VR with a whole sim rig
You can play this with OpenTrack and an AruCo pattern attached to a hat or something. Very cheap and it gives the VR experience without a VR! That's how I always play Project Wingman, and yes I always play in 1st person because for me it's way more comfortable especially for getting gun kills
Started to play this game yesterday and and so far my experience with it is great. Like in AC7, I prefer to just lock cam on target instead of looking around manually as its less of a hassle; though if ever I get my hands on a VR headset I'll never use that lock cam option 😂.
Only thing that annoys me is the furball missions. They're fine early on but the score requirements strart getting so long that the dogfighting becomes not that enjoyable
It aint even hard. I was using the Trainer f4 phantom on merc mode, its always friendly airships crashing into u
Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity or turn off the violent snapback of the camera? I always try to look around and it feels unbelievably clumsy. (I'm on a controller)
Same bro,did you find any answers?
For some reason 9 times out of 10 if im in close in nailing boogies with my machine gun.
Man, I can't hire the last planes 😥 (how can I fix it? Xbox series S version)
get Project Wingman Mark I = win
It's kinda disgusting how OP it is. Mercenary difficulty and high alert are hard to imposible with any other plane, but totally easy with the PWMK1. It kinda takes away a bit the fun :s
*Project Wingman Mark 1 Mark 1
what are the control options available ?
as usual I actually had alot of these figured out by the time I got the hang of the game in general (even as my first time using a HOTAS) cause some games I learn the smaller things super fast and without external help, but also in some of the clips you showed you were going like 2,500, as far as I was aware the titular PW mk1 is the fastest airframe at ~1,600. I would know cause going from the MG-29 in campaign to the PW in conquest felt like going from a moped to a damn rocket, unless theres a modifier that increases speed overall that I missed as I might mess around with those ones I finally get my first conquest win
Here are 3 pricless point (i havent read anywhere)
1 dont start jast any conq' map.
You need the corodium to be in a bunch and not scaterd on the map.
Learn how offen the game load good maps (good map means that at least 70% of coridium is going to get picked fast (before alert15)
Start buying pilots.
If yull het a really good map, you will get half the pilots before purchesing airships.
*first airship to buy is the205 and both upgrades, after that buy littora and both upgrades, only then buy arcion and anura (cause they cheap)
2 play the mission in this preference:
*1st) transport hunt
*2nd) anti air fefence
*3rd) experement unit sabotage
*4th) score attack (which is the easiest
3) use the PW plane. After alert level 17 try to save the bmlu as much as you can (si it wont get depleted)
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE:
DONT WASTE TIME, THE LONGER YOU ARE..... THE HARDER IT GETS (alert level wise).
So half the map should be in and out without any setbacks
Win the conquest
"bombs aren't particularly effective."
Me, with fat man and little boy in the bomb bay: * spider man 3 "can I have my pay in advance" laugh *
But at the same time: "you see those 4 anti air defense systems? Fuck them."
"Learn your key bindings"
Me playing on Steam Deck: 😬
I beat the game with the training plane tho.
Anyone know what setting it is to make the camera stay still rather than follow the aircraft? @ 0:40
He's using mouse control
I'm playing on xbox and i can't figure out how to recruit anything else than 6 rookies pilots, i don't know why, the menu seems broken, i don't see where the cursor is and it's very frustrating.
If you have a mouse plug it in and you'll be able to select other wingmen, if not I'd recommend getting a cheap one
There is no cursor on the xbox, it's supposed to be with the D-Pad, but it's just glitched. This bug was half patched though (grey boxes still softlock the menu)
Don't max out anything on Xbox. In my experience it's best to focus on the higher tier stuff first and work your way down.
Are the airships worth it?
Or is it better to get a couple pilots along with a airship.
They are big targets afterall.
In my experience all of the allies are really good at staying alive. Not so much making enemies dead though. If you want to keep your enemies busy, airships will help, but higher tier fighters are better at actually killing stuff. The Arcion is my favorite airship to bring because it has railguns which have the potential to deal a lot of damage or just put enemy pilots on the defensive
@@alexanderthegreat6682 yeah, I actually played the conquest mode and found that the battleship, especially early on is amazing.
I just wish we got little perks from them.
Maybe a heal or ammo replenish or something.
But they are so cool.
Can you do a vid on the preuim f 86 for usa in warthunder
Yessir! Good suggestion!
or you could use a controller
looks like ace combat and war thunder had a baby and it looks more missile-spammy than ever
