  One of my childhood friends joined the French airforce and trained the Argentine pilots on French equipment. He told me they were some of the most professional foreign pilots he had ever encountered. I also had a client who had been an Argentine fighter pilot during the "Malvinas" war. He told me that the delta wings (Mirage 3) were not as good at low altitude and low speed as the harrier, and their ordnance was mostly for air to ship strikes (Exocet missiles) and not so much ordnance for air to air engagements. He was against the war and saw through the political subterfuge of the military dictatorship. But when you are in the military, orders are orders. Both military fought gallantly, and the Argentine loss ended the dictatorship and brought about democracy in Argentina. So some good came out of it. We must remember that many good soldiers died and had life changing injuries on both sides. I mostly pity the poor Argentine conscrips who were sent with minimal training, little in the way of warm clothing and food. Many came from the warm northern provinces and had never faced the extreme antarctic cold. These guys had to face fierce, experienced professional fighters like the Gurkhas. Many Argentine conscrips were descended from Welsh immigrants and were fluent in English, for them it was close to fratricide.

  I can't disagree with you on the Pros and Cons of Assault Horizon, however your weighing of how each pro or con affects the game is where I think I sense some contrarianism. Almost every fan of Ace Combat as a series has one primary complaint with Assault Horizon, and that's DFM and how it's implemented. DFM is such a monumental roadblock that degrades literally every other part of the game. People who play flight games generally like like freedom. Freedom of choice (whether illusional or not) and freedom of movement are pillars of flight games. DFM completely removes that sense of freedom. Sure the game looks and sounds beautiful, sure the story while a bit silly isn't terrible by itself, sure the multiplayer and aircraft customization were conceptually excellent, but none of those things are at the core of the game. DFM is the core of Assault Horizon, and it is a rotten core. In other mainline Ace Combat games, the core gameplay loop gives the player that sense of freedom to fly and shoot and make decisions, whether those decisions are meaningful is actually irrelevant. The sense or feeling of freedom is what matters. Assault Horizon was a long-ass on-rails shooter trying to masquerade as a flight game and that's really the heart of why Assault Horizon is the Worst "Ace Combat". It removed the sense of freedom from the player and utilized a franchise name known for providing that sense to draw players who love that feeling in. Do I think Assault Horizon would have been better received without DFM? Definitely. Would that have saved it from the other issues it had? I don't know. I do however believe without DFM, the contrarian point of view presented in this video would make some sense, because at that point it would have been primarily nerds arguing about the writing of fiction which is much more subjective and thus if the fandom as a majority hated it, being contrarian is simply another subjective opinion. DFM's effect on the game and how it was received is far more objective. The proof actually lies in that 'microtransaction filled nightmare' that you mentioned towards the end. There are interviews with Project Ace's leadership that either directly or indirectly (depending on the interview) say that Ace Combat Infinity did enough to convince BandaiNamco to greenlight AC7. Infinity, even with it's microtransaction bullshit, was enough of a return to form in terms of gameplay, limited to a single console like Ace Combat 6, that players were willing to play it enough that Bamco believed AC7 should be made.

  If I remember correctly, England did not want Brazil involved because they were afraid to face Brazil and Argentina together, we captured a Vulcan that only landed in Rio because it was actively threatened to land, despite the crew's intention of avoiding Brazil at all costs, even if it meant landing in the middle of the Atlantic One of the demands made was for England to give up the Falklands The M61 Bomber was later returned after the end of the war

  @@joehuntly8506 oh, my bad, I did mix the aircraft with the gun, sorry, the Vulcan incident happened when a British bomber ran out of fuel near São Paulo, they emitted an SOS, to a nearby carrier but they wouldn't manage to make it there, the Brazilian air force identified the distress signal and intercepted the bomber, despite initial refusals to land in Rio, they eventually agreed to land and the bomber was held in Rio for a few years, and only returned when hostilities between Argentina and England ceased One of the demands included a cease fire with both nations retreating from the Falklands, especially England for it to be resolved by the UN, England later won the war and the bomber was returned One of the concerns was with any possible involvement of Brazil in the conflict, as neither nations liked the idea of facing each other Due to the Cisplatina war between Brazil and Argentina, to which was resolved after English intervention, and thus, Uruguay was born, Argentina and England were never in good relations, Brazil on the other hand, had good relations with England since it was a colony, with England even paying for its independency

  3 minutes in, you you nailed the ethos of the starfighter on the head. It was NOT conceived as an interceptor. It was a Day fighter, designed to do to early 50's migs what the mig 15/17 did to the F86... Only even harder. An energy fighter that would use slashing attacks from on high with its advanced 20mm rotary cannon - swoop down, make a pass, extend in the vertical...rinse, and repeat. It's design was based 100% on dogfighting experience in korea. Every ace interviewd by johnson asked for three things: more speed, a serious rate of climb, and a hard hitting, fast shooting gun.

  The F 104 is the love of my childhood, over the appenines mountains, in Italy , I can't forget the sound of the J79 engine , and the little tail of black smoke . Unfortunately I didn't make in to the air force , but the dream is still alive. Italian air force lost a few young pilots with it , but generally speaking they were happy with , they needed a fast plane to intercept any soviet bomber as soon as possible because of the prossimity to the border of, Warsaw pact , territory. And a fast bomber and reconnaissance, for fast reaction. Same story is for Germany , Turkey and Greece, we all had border with the comunist world , it is a bit different if you are on the other side of the Atlantic, (apart from Alaska maybe ). All the veterans still love it , but they said that it was a good plane if you knew how to fly it, if you knew his limits .It needed full concentration all the time ,limiting your time to focus on the mission itself, which is not the best for a war machine . A lot of fun , for very well trained pilots . Even now within the air force they still discuss if it is been a good idea to adopt it . Some people, especially those that didn't fly the f 104 , still hate it saying that maybe was fun but basically useless. We still love the ,spillone , (big needle),this was his nickname in Italy. Thank you.

  I don’t know what your background is, but this was an excellent video essay. I kept waiting for you to say something dumb, a trend for these sort of videos, but I agreed with almost everything presented. My dad was the USAF Air Attaché to Argentina until a couple of years prior to this conflict and we had moved to the embassy in Montevideo by 1982, so I had a front-row seat and have been fascinated by it ever since. During my USAF career, I’ve seen us come a long way in air combat since 1982, but there are lessons that will always still apply, logistics, training and equipment will still be key in any future conflicts.

  13:00 15 degrees angle of attack before stall is by itself shit, it is significantly less then its contemporaries (around 20 degrees on the F4 and migs 21) and is on the bottom end of ww2 era planes. Blaming it on pilot error and requiring more training to be safe doesn't feel like a good argument. Unless the german training was so deficent it couldn't pilot other planes safely, requiring extra training doesn't mean there is not problem with the F 104. It means there is a flaw that required a workarounds. If we run with kind of logic then the original M16s jamming wasnt a flaw but user error for not cleaning it constantly. Oil rigs are not deathtraps because everyone working on one is trained and almost accidents are user error. At some point it you can't simply blame it on poor training.
