  1. Sounds like 343i are finally getting what made Halo so memorable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4cu5XtwLfY
  2. I sorta like that contrast between old airframe and high tech weaponry.
  3. https://twinfinite.net/2018/12/ace-combat-7-screenshots-multiplayer/?state=changed3241&gid=1&pid=1 Very ACI-like, which isn't surprising. I do hope they add a PvE raid mode in later, that was probably the best part of Infinity. Some of the later special raids from Infinity were nuts (Gold Excalibur turning into a 3D bullet hell level was something to see, even if it made the game crawl into 20 fps).
  4. A bunch of youtubers got to play some multiplayer, VR, and single player last weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfrwSErXnjE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGTnm05BVls
  5. Rail Wars was pretty terrible imo. Plagued with poor animation and the writing was definitely nothing to write home about.
  6. Hopefully it'll be better than the dumpster fire that was GiTS 2017.
  7. https://www.psu.com/news/ace-combat-7-gameplay-improvements-interview/ Another interview with Kono.
  8. Lovin' those beam gun pods
  9. Its probably just Boeing trying to grab some attention with a flashy loadout. I bet when the Japanese finally finish upgrading, they'll still leave space for a drop tank or two.
  10. Japan is slated to carry out life extending upgrades to their F-15J's. https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/japan-aerospace/2018/11/30/us-government-boeing-to-help-japan-upgrade-missile-electronic-warfare-capabilities-for-f-15-jets/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=Socialflow+DFN&utm_medium=social
  11. USMC Harriers might be getting HMCS sometime in the future. https://www.fbo.gov/index.php?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=2750036c6f3aa2f0e5b05b9dfffcd747&tab=core&_cview=0
  12. Excellent news. Should give the PRC some trouble if they ever decide to go hot.
  13. Ace Combat X is pretty good, stays in Strangereal and introduces a bunch of cool new fictional planes. For a portable game, it plays just like the PS2 games. Would recommend. Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy is a remake of Ace Combat 2, but since I've never owned a Nintendo portable, I dont have a clue about how it plays. Ace Combat Joint Assault was sorta meh, although I did like the very cheesy theme songs.
  14. First flight for ion-drive aircraft. Been going around the news for the past two days. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07477-9
  15. Man, I haven't seen many Black Friday deals worth anything for me so far. Guess it still isn't much of a thing up here. A diecast ADF-01 Falken would be cool too.
  16. GLT was a good show.
  17. The Israelis are looking into external drop tanks for the F-35, perhaps the RCAF could go for that same option. Of course, I doubt the Liberal party will get to any meaningful decision before the election. Wouldn't do for them to look stupid by going for the plane they trashed in the last election.
  18. Another report on the sorry state of the RCAF. The government mandated that the RCAF increase the number of fighter aircraft available for operations by 23 percent. At a time when the force was (and still is) facing a shortage of trained and experienced flight crew and maintainers, along with the still operational fighters nearing 30 years of age and with no plan to upgrade combat ability. Despite National Defence telling the government that its plan to acquire 18 Super Hornets would do nothing to make up for this gap in its capabilities. Now the govt is planning on buying second hand Hornets from Australia, of roughly the same age and capability as the current CF-18 fleet. All in all, 3 billion CAD for a stopgap patch that will do nothing to address the issues facing the RCAF. http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_201811_03_e_43201.html
  19. https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2018-11-19 DARPA tested CODE (Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment) equipped unmanned aircraft in their ability to respond to threats in A2AD environments.
  20. Tenjin Hidetaka drew a very nice little card for Project Aces. I'm looking forward to the inevitable Tenjin artwork for the new superplane model.
  21. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/virginia/articles/2018-08-22/top-gun-sequel-filming-on-norfolk-based-carrier-navy-says
  22. Season pass gets you 3 DLC aircraft, 3 extra missions and an ingame music player.
  23. Speaking of sims, Heatblur just released another trailer for the F-14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3BLV6M0Jbo
  24. New trailer from the Golden Joystick awards. https://twitter.com/bandainamcouk/status/1063464779426267136?s=21
