It's a shame the hardest part of the aces is making them spawn in rather than actually shooting them down, I could spend hours just trying to spawn one ace and if it does the dogfight lasts less than 30 seconds. Aces would be much more enjoyable if the spawn requirements were toned down and the actual dogfight was made harder.

No, its not, the bayonet ace is Super hard

This game definitely lives up to it's name. Very difficult, even on normal difficultly.

Just a note: I finished all skins on AC7. This one was particularly difficult. I attacked the first few enemies when you spawn and then flew along the mass driver (about 37 alt) and used the pull up method just like prettytaf stated.. I then went to the airfield because aircraft are normally more points when destroyed and tried to get up to 10k points(its hard!). I didn’t get 10k but got around 8k and bombers came in and MANTIS still spawned. I did this on normal difficulty. So there’s hope for all y’all good luck So thank you TAF, you helped me tremendously getting all of these aces!!!

@AhuizotlXiuh

6 ай бұрын

I don't remember how many points I had but I know for sure my mass driver flight was awful. I bounced off it, bobbed up and down and did most of the run on the left edge instead of centered and the ace still spawned. There's hope for those of us who suck at flying.

I know this is an old video, but I want to thank everyone in this comment section for the latest, up-to-date info I needed to do this. I got this in just a few attempts thanks to you, my fellow Ace Fighter Pilots. For anyone who sees this, here's how I did it: *Note, this the most accurate information as of 2022. This mission was on normal difficulty when I did it. First, make sure you got a Jet that's fast, is very controllable, and has a ground based special weapon, Missiles or homing bombs will do. Make this a jet that you are comfortable with (For me, I used my trusty F-22 Raptor, but whatever works for you, it needs to be 4th gen aircraft at the very least). Make sure your missiles have plenty of damage, homing and speed, and plenty of lock-on range. Arrange your ground special weapon as you like. When the mission starts don't waste time ID'ing the boats at the start, just identify the ally vehicles and enemy vehicles on the shore at the start. Once you've gotten rid of all of the first set of enemy vehicles, fly east on the map (flying right on the map) until you see the supply ships on the mass driver rail as you see in this guide. Once there, you should line yourself up with the supply ships and the rail at your jet's cruising speed (no boost or breaks, for me it was at 600 on the speed-o-meter, however a slower speed like 500 might work). Once lined up, you can fly just a bit over the supply ships safely. Once you're over them, lower yourself gently towards the rail at your jet's standard speed. Now comes the trickiest part: You need to keep the "Caution: Pull Up" warning going on as long as possible. You need to do tiny adjustments as you go. Not far up, very little down, and ideally you shouldn't need yaw to keep straight n' steady. You should fly straight as possible for most of the run. Just very gently tap down on the left stick and tilt the jet upward once you see the slope and level with it. As you get close to the end, you need increase your upward adjustment a bit more and more frequently, while still in the warning state. Once you get close to the barrier at the end, you can lift off, and proceed with the rest of your mission. *Note 2: You can deviate a little, you can have a very tiny moment or 2 of the warning not being in effect. Don't stray away for long tho, keep it as long as possible from start to finish. It doesn't have to be perfect, just as close to perfect as you possibly can. Just keep up the warning as long as possible till you lift off at the end and do your best. You'll get better with each attempt. Once you lift off from the end of the rail (without touching it and getting damaged or outright crashing), From there, DON'T WORRY ABOUT POINTS! There is no score you need to reach. You can be as low or as high as you want. You just need to stick to the rail as closely as possible from start to finish without going too far up or crashing, keeping up the pull up warning almost the entire time. You don't need to worry about points at all. Just do what you can in the meantime until the bombers arrive. Be sure to have your radar fully opened to the map and be ready for the bombers when they appear. They always spawn from the Southeast. You can save some time and be there for when they spawn if you know where they appear on the map. Once the bombers and their escorts show up, this is the moment of truth. Search through all the unknown bombers and their jet escorts until they are all ID'd. If you flew the rail correctly, then Mantis will be among the unknown flight of enemies. Try to shoot down a couple of bombers to give yourself time, but make sure to check every unknown flyer (For me, Mantis was literally the last unknown I confirmed). If you have confirmed all the unknowns among the bombers, and Mantis isn't among them, start the level and this list of steps over again until he does. When he does, shoot this playing-hard-to-get, elusive sonnuvabitch out of the sky, then quickly take out the bombers. Once Mantis is down along with the bombers, make sure you DON'T RESTART under any circumstances. Most missions will let you keep the skin after you pass a checkpoint that happens after you shoot down the ace and you restart from there, but this mission might not be one of 'em. Don't take any chances up to this point. You don't want to risk having to start over with the flight over the Mass Driver Rail again at this point. With Mantis down along with the bombers, you just need to do a perfect run of everything else without being shot down or failing to do everything in time. 1. Take out all enemies marked as TGTs. 2. Once all TGT enemies are down, save The Scrap Queen and Princess Cossette from all TGT marked ground vehicles within the time limit (thank God the enemies are already ID'd, and having a ground based special weapon like homing missiles or homing bombs will save you from cutting it close or outright failing). 3.Then once Scrap Queen and Cossette are safe, the Erusean supply ships for the Arsenal Bird will take off. Get after them and shoot them down before they get away. Having a fast jet with a high speed of over 3,000, fast acceleration, and longer lock-on range high speed missiles will make chasing them Possible, let alone easier. Once you get after them, avoid the missiles from UAVs and other fighters, and try to avoid flying through the clouds for too long to reduce the risk of you being struck by lightning (you'll usually get struck at least once when you fly after the 2nd supply ship after destroying the 1st, BUT DON'T GIVE UP, you'll recover just fast enough to get the 2nd one. Just keep accelerating until you get into missile range and shoot the damn thing down). Having the Predictive Lock-On Algorithm should help you get easier lock-on shots when through the clouds. Once you take out both supply ships, and you've taken out Mantis after this whole ordeal of a mission, the mission will be be complete, and this awesome F-35 Lightningbolt skin will be yours. Thanks for all the info from the comments of my fellow Ace Combat players, thanks for reading this far, and I hope this wall of text of a comment helps out others who're after Mantis' F-35, the hardest skin to get in the game, like all the comments here have helped me. Good luck, and once you get the skin, make sure you use it a lot and have fun with it. You fought this hard, as well as read this far, to earn it, so make the most use out of it. I most certainly will!

After playing this level for 3 days strait trying to get Mantis to spawn I went searching elsewhere for tips… it has nothing to do with points at all. You’ve gotta kill all the red targets on the map before the engaging the bombers. You DONT have to get 10k points. Just the red targets.

FYI!!! You don't need to do the points at all! You only need to fly really low on the space track! I got the matis spawned in with just the 660 points. Hardest part is to scan him and take the boomer out in time.

You know what? I feel so relieved somehow...I flew like an asshole early and was around 200 meters at times. Then I only managed like 7000 points or something when the bombers came. Somehow...mantis was the first or second target I identified and quickly killed with a single laam. Gotta be the luckiest run ever.

Is there any actual merit in saying that destroying too many unknown targets will interfere with Mantis's spawn? Has this been tried and testied?

@PrettyTAF

3 жыл бұрын

when you kill an unknown target they give 0 points, only by identifying them will you be able to get points which will go towards the point criteria for unlocking the ace. So destroying unknown targets is generally a bad idea because your not maximizing the amount of points to go towards mantis spawning, does that make sense? also I've noticed people saying in some of my videos that the criteria is wrong/different, but these videos are over a year old, my theory is the developers might have tweaked some of the criteria for unlocking the aces. but everything I say in my videos is true, tried and tested as accurate as I could make them be.

This one had me pulling my hair out. Update: OOOOOOOOH I was smoking all the yellow targets from memory 😭

For me, the identification process was not that hard. I think you can identify them quicker if you aim your reticle at them, but im probably wrong. To fly over the mass driver, first line up with the driver, then fly over the drone/carrier/resuppling things. The pull up warning should not have to show on this step. Then, when you pass the drones, dip down so that it says pull up. Then , fly along the rest of the driver. Try to do this on the first try, so you dont waste time. If you accidentally break off, you can do it again, but i recomend to restart from the check point. Try to maintain a speed of 600 kpm. Also , for the point gathering, go to the west side of tyler island and there should be drone lauching trucks worth 350 , jets worth 700 points, (su-something i forgot) and mq-99 drones. Try and do your best, as I got 3370 points and some how got mantis when the bombers came in. Hope this helps!

@@PrettyTAF Was at 7kish I think The trick to making it a lot easier is to switch to easy-mode flight controls right before you get over the supply ships, then you don't have to worry about rolling or yawing messing up your straight flight down the ramp

At this point I immediately go to your videos first, the wiki is pretty garbage from what I can tell, it'll often be completely wrong about time requirements or in this case completely leave out huge details like you needing 10,000 points to get this skin

Im glad you do :) thanks, glad your finding them useful

There’s nothing on the ground, in the air or on the water that identified and available to shoot worth half of the 10,000 points needed in time. Rather than show us you had 10 thousand points it would be more helpful to show us HOW you got 10 thousand points.

I think the most difficult part of this game is flying the planes on expert for PlayStation for its extremely awkward. I am assuming it’s a lot easier for PC because you make it look easy and a lot of other gamers make it look easy, but even with practice for me when I fly on expert it’s awkward as fuck, it’s just too hard to fly with my middle finger in break with my middle finger and then use my index fingers to turn left and right whatever that is it’s fine on easier missions but on more difficult missions you end up spending half the game trying to course correct rather than just flying After enemies or objectives are

8AGM are Bombs
