Good video, enjoyed it quite alot. The 4 hours of editing on that one part was appreciated. I just take slight issue with conclusion that you make at the 47:40. Is being subjugaed really better than fighting? How high are the costs allowed to get? Bcs if any price is to high, you just invite revisionist and dictators to kick in the door and take what they want. I personally dont like that line of thinking, bcs its the same argument, that gets used to try to cut funding for a very specific eastern european country. Maybe i just misunderstood you. Also "Consequence of Power" is the worst mission, bcs there is so much dead time when the missles come in and you cant skip it. Anyone can disagree with me on that, but that will not change my opinion that they are wrong ;)
Oh my God you're totally right - I didn't make that connection and I'm kicking myself over it now. I was thinking purely within PW and about how Cascadia had just been subject to two apocalypses over something like 4 months. At that point, it might well be better to just survive and keep the Cascadian culture (and people) alive that way. Something like how in AC7 mission 18 ("Lost Kingdom"), one of the Shilage soldiers says something like "Don't die! As long as we're alive, our hopes and dreams live on!" I don't know - I guess the difference between the Federation and the leader of the 2nd best army in Russia is that the Federation aren't actively trying to erase the Cascadian culture and people? Bad though the Feds may be, they don't seem to mind the Cascadian people, so long as Cascadia is a part of the Federation. In contrast to current events, the Feds never seem to go out of their way to cause a genocide on the Cascadian people. Their objective of mission 15 (since I believe they knew what they were doing, perhaps just underestimating the ramifications a tad) wasn't specifically to erase the Cascadians from history, rather just to send a message that NOBODY messes with the Federation. Hence the Fed's aren't as bad, so not having independence wouldn't be as damaging in this case? Yeah, either way it's a poor argument and, as someone who tries to keep up with the conflict, I'm very annoyed at myself for not spotting the parallels sooner. Good spot. In other news - I get what you're saying about mission 15, but it's actually one of my favourite missions, purely because of the punch that "Consequence of Power" gives you the first time you see it. Imo it's a perfect mission in terms of lore and music, and to me it makes up for the minute of flying about doing nothing. That last bit's subjective though, so let's agree to disagree on that! No contest for the best mission though, we all know it's Showdown. Most of those 4 hours were spent trying to figure out how to improve my editing to the point where I would be happy I'd done Showdown justice. Thanks for watching!
@@mrshark1757the showdown over the Bering strait is awesome, but I’m kinda bored of it now Probably the same reason why I don’t like waiting for that mission to end I enjoyed them a lot in my first few playthroughs It’s not the games fault I’ve played that game for over 210 hours It’s a testament to the quality of of that campaign that I’m still coming back It’s just what happens after 40 runs I’ve kinda developed this preference for missions with static targets, bcs I can make it a „speedrun“ for myself and use unguided weapons BTW if you ever get bored, than try flinging ugb-l into airships It’s somewhat challenging and hilarious at the same time Just use the beta branch of the game It’s more consistent on that Same for railgunning airships
@@mrshark1757tbh going by game lore it seems cascadia was part of federation imperial expanding with general faust starving a continent in Oceania . Her final dialogue in frontline 59 suggests that cascadia just wants to replace the federation as world power with her quote saying cascadia has only that right to influence the world .
@axel665 I personally don't think Faust is a reliable source since she's basically Torres in a plane. I'm sure there are some important people that agree with her, but there are also many who don't - notably, Stardust and Woodward. Faust went rouge after World On Fire, and I get the impression that a lot of the lower-ranking soldiers who agreed with her died with her. She also says about how the higher-ups have discovered something terrible in Oceana, and if the Feds keep fighting, they will use it. The fact that Stardust gave it to Sicario makes me think that the important people in Cascadia aren't on Faust's side.
Honestly thought this was like a giant channel with the size and quality of this video. I was super shocked at the view and subscriber count, dude you got something with these retrospective videos. Great video as well, I honestly felt that the ending with everyone dead was such a good ending showing how war is hell and that in an instant everyone you love and everything you know can just be taken away in an instant. But during the credits it reveals that everyone was actually alive and you just couldn't hear or see them during the fight. Which like I love sicario and they have some good characters but I feel it would've been a better ending if they all died and it was just monarch (and prez if you bring her) left in the ruins of cascadia alone.
Speaking of how the sky looks, I love what they did with the Calamity missions. It reminds me of the broken earth from Black Ops 2 Zombies; it's day out, but you can see the stars. It's like the Earth's atmosphere itself was destroyed
22:22 from the Anniversary Edition on PS5: "You're gonna die on this land Fed!" And in Presidia they added a line where someone says it's better for Presidia to burn than be under the Federation's rule.
Plus, didn't Woodward say something about letting the Fed sailors drown during Presidia? I really wish they'd update the steam version with the new voice lines. I especially want to hear the Dejanus' radio chatter.
I've been working flat-out on this for more than a week and a half I guess you could call it my Project (Wingman) Anyways, credit to all the stuff I used is in the description.
@Tar-Numendil I mean Calamity is amazing but idk about it being the best song. In any other game it would be but in Project Wingman there's so many awesome songs that for me it's not even in the top 3, even though it's an amazing song.
Haven't seen a project wingman video in a hot minute, and it's amazing! IF i could maybe comment something, check your audio balancing (or whatever the term is for that), there were some moments where i could barely hear you over the music or other sounds. Besides of that... amazing piece mate. nothing more to say. A-MA-ZING.
+1 Sub for this vid but also I wanna say that you look like you fly for a good time. If you’re gonna have continuous lock and a basically perfect aspect why not do some rolls at the same time?
Most of the time I fly smoothly to get nice gameplay footage, and because I'm just trying to tickle the "plane go brrr" part of my brain. That said, if you focus on the "Showdown" chapter, you can see that I actually am doing what you recommend! I find that Mercenary mode M11 just has far too many missiles, so in nearly every shot I'm constantly turning and doing extra rolls to shake off the 5 missiles chasing me at any given moment - often even to the point of sacrificing a good shot on an enemy.
Honestly I hated that fight because 1. It means France, or at very least French people, survived the calamity 2. I crashed into the water 3 times thinking it was the sky Music was epic though
@sonnykwong8801 also I *could* have mentioned more in general but the 10-minute video I was gonna make ended up being 55 minutes even WITH bits cut out and it was still lagging my editing software horribly!
Don't forget about the Australian Outer Heaven ghosts who continue to haunt the Chinese UN's mind rent-free, then there's the possible existence of a Peripherian Rhodesia based on Dip's recycled warning statement to the Sawaiikis during Pearl Harbour 2, those times before the Federation Hegemony must've been just as much bangers.
@@mrshark1757 hate to break it to you, but there's 2 other superpowers out there in the lore; Kerneuropa Alliance which the Republic of Albion (Britain) is apart of, and the African Concordat. You want an explanation for the Federation trying to keep Cascadia other than being evil? How about the fact they're in a cold war with two other expansionist superpowers, and a nation they built up infrastructurally is now trying to break away while keeping the infrastructure and military equipment they were allowed to use. Cascadia may have more geothermal deposits than anywhere else in the world, but it wasn't until the Federation came along that those deposits were being refined into Cordium.
Noted! I live right next to a busy road, so I'm recording late at night, hence why I'm speaking so softly (don't wanna wake my flatmates up) I'll turn it up in future; thanks for watching!
21:55 was that the fucking grass?? You don't even have ALA!! this some ace combat protagonist bullshit do you know how many times I lost at the lone wolf mission because of the fucking MOUNTAINS
Okay so 1. Yes it is grass XD 2. I didn't even realise it was grass until I was editing the video! 3. Something something I like the Blackburn Buccaneer 4. What's ALA? 5. Yep, I've died to the mountains in Lone Wolf too. But I crashed into the sea twice in Midnight Light, I think Midnight Light is far worse.
@@mrshark1757 XD nice to see someone who also doesn't have impossibly good handling, I think ALA is the name.. its the flare replacement where you do the spinny thing and you can turn almost in place (unlocks on sum later jets
Honestly one of the funnest enemies to fight imo. Very satisfying to get above them and hit them with the MLAAs or RKTs. or a UGB if you're good enough (I'm not).

This game takes Ace Combat lore and believes that it’s an Armored Core game with a Just Cause level of dialogue
Such a great ambitious game that it wasn’t just PC exclusive!😊
Calamity is the best song in the entire game and Cold War is the best mission in the game.
@Tar-Numendil I mean Calamity is amazing but idk about it being the best song. In any other game it would be but in Project Wingman there's so many awesome songs that for me it's not even in the top 3, even though it's an amazing song.
Calamity is the Theme of the game But there are other “bangers”
Though they don’t Stand out right away as other games to me
