belkans fled to every nation. Osea's belkans made the arsenal birds, who then SOMEHOW smuggled them to Erusia, of course they also went to Yuktobania to work on the Scinfaxi/Wrimfaxi subs, and together to make the Arkbird, those who didn't leave Belka sold some decades advanced drone tech to Erusian warmongers. But I digress, that's where they went to, and what they made.

What few player know is that Gleipnir has a sister ship, Gandr. Gandr was shot down by Falco Squadron. The first pilot to recieve the title "Southern Cross" in the prequel game called Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion. Later he was shot down near Griswall during a massive Leasath counter-offensive Falco-1 and his squadron later makes an appearance when a joint operation between Gryphus and Falco squadron face the Alect Squadron or the Massive Leasath fleet (depending on your storyline route).

I think the scheme in those missions was: Gryphus 1 Falco 1 Aquila 1 (?) Falco 2 Gryphus 5 Gryphus 6/Aquila 2 (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Gleipnir's commander is one crazy man. If you get mission 7B, he'd try to destroy Santa Elva using Gleipnir's shock cannon after Gryphus 1 destroyed all SWBM launching ports. By the way, your narration explains why most of Aurelia fell within days. If I saw a huge plane appearing out of nowhere and destroyed a whole group of friendly tanks and ships and then disappear again, I'd freak out too.

In an alternate route, Gryphus 1 would head to Stand Canyon to save the Davis Unit from the bombardment of enemy helicopters and tanks while avoiding the ballistic fire from the Gleipnir's SWBM attack. Afterwards, the Gleipnir would relocate to Santa Elva to fortify its its allies stationed there. The Terminus Island mission would be changed to a rescue operation to save an Aurelian scientist who had obtained information regarding the Gleipnir's optical camouflage. During the mission, the Aurelian submarine Naiad (ThIs iS ThE nAiaD) had run into an underwater mine, forcing it to make an emergency surface. With navigation and diving controls inoperable for some time, they were on a collision course with an iceburg, and were also under attack by Leasath bombers and attackers. Fortunately, Gryphus 1 was able to break apart the iceburg and fend off the enemy bombers until the Naiad could reach the safety of open waters. Finally, Gryphus 1 would confront the Gleipnir in Santa Elva once and for all. The encounter would turn out the same as it would if Gryphus 1 would enter Terminus Island first, with the Gleipnir destroying some tank battalions, Gryphus 1 disabling its optical camouflage, and the destruction of the SWBM. However, instead of flipping the Gleipnir upside down to use the Shock Cannon against Gryphus 1, the captain of the Gleipnir would try to destroy the city of Santa Elva with the power of the Shock Cannon. Luckily, Gryphus 1 was able to destroy the Shock Cannon just in time, crippling the Gleipnir and causing to crash into the river as it did in the other route.

Loved the video! Huge fan of the channel. I just went through this game to fill out more of my strangereal addiction! And here you are with a video to watch thanks!

Do a video about the alect squadron and the fenrir

As much as I appreciate your coverage of this topic, you really need to read up more on the lore of the Aurelian war, things like Falco Squadron and the Gandr, how the battle of Santa Elva was the first time Gryphus 1 fought directly against the Gleipnir (Canon route) due to the interactive (choices) missions in the game mechanics. And that all but 2 fighters died in the first SWBM attack. Some tips I have for you is to watch some of the gameplay or cutscenes of the games that you intend to cover. That way when describing certain events, you have a better understanding of what happens. You can also read up more on the wiki of all pages since certain events have their own personal descriptions despite being the same category. Keep up the good work, hope to see more of your work in the future.

Dude, you're Drawing of the Fenrir is awesome, I want it. Fantastic summary of the Glepnir, though I wonder how the Battle Data of the Glepnir helped construct the Fenrir, outside of using technology used on the Glepnir.

Glad you're gaining more traction! Wish the AC sub mods weren't gigantic a holes, would love to be part of the community still but oh well.

The captions pronounce Gleipnir as "gleep near" That is just gold.

Just found this channel. I think it'll be absolutely great.

It's hard to imagine how much work was put on this video. Especially I was surprised by explaination how Gleipnir's weapons work. I really hope to see more videos! Amazing work.) By the way, how about finding artists to give you a hand? I like your pics, but I think that they took the majority of your time.)

I'm so glad my ACX still works.

The crazy thing about the particle accelerators is that they can propel particles to the speed of light. So if the Gleipnir had a large power capacity for its particle accelerator, then in theory its shock cannon could destroy things when fired at the speed of light. Right?

Amazing work!

Great Content!!!! Keep it up bro!

It's thanks to that game that i love planes and really like to fly on those metal birds high in the blue sky.

Sorry' i just wanted to correct some mistakes and lost your "heart"

Just a small mistake here, if I remember correctly, it was Aurelia that gave the name XFA-33 to Fenrir, while it was Leasath that called it Fenrir, basically, it was just called Fenrir, and after the end of the war, Aurelia captured one Fenrir, and gave it the name XFA-33 (or probably sold the model to General Resources, which are the industries that often call their experimental aircrafts XFA) And btw, the Fenrir and the XFA-33 Fenrir are two different aircrafts, the first one have everything you mentioned here plus STOVL, the XFA-33 Fenrir doesn't have the cloak, the microwave weapon, neither the STOVL capabilities (though it's still a STOL aircraft)

@ACE_MaoMao

the part of aurelia sold fenrir to General resource is right because in the Ouroboros path in ace combat 3 (japan ver.) it's seen an xfa-36 stole by Ouroboros from general resource (this is not confirmed but i believe on this) maybe it's an advanced variant of fenrir.

Listening to this I'm like "You see... I was there."

It looks alot like the X-B0 made by the Belkans in 1995, knowing how close in time both wars of AC 7 and AC X are, probabbly Leasath got some support from Grunder industries since now they where shipping up their aknowledge in weapons manufacture to other nations that where in war, althought, the Shock Canon, the particle missiles and the opto camo seems to be 100% Leasath made.
