"How many missiles does this aircraft have?"
You just described whole Ace Combat series with one question, Paul.
I got 64 more missiles on this 2 missile pylon!
"Enough."
(Pulls out supressed 1911)
"I do believe we are done discusing this topic."
@@ryanpayne7707 POV: Pixy is literally inside your house
Ace Combat Aircrafts are MLRS' with their multiple missiles
@@ryanparker4996 **brings 2 cans of V2**
Just for context, the reason why Belka nuked their own territory was because at this point in the war, they were on the losing side and were on the verge of being defeated and occupied. Since Belkans are very proud and slightly crazy, they dropped the nukes in desperation to scare off the allied forces. It should also be noted that nuclear weapons are EXTREMELY rare in the setting, so MAD doctrine doesn't exist. Their ploy succeeded because it caused the Allied forces to back off from invading Belka and come to the negotiating table.
Also a lot of the Afghanistan/Iraq undertones were mostly inserted by Max0r himself. The actual game is basically loosely based on Arthurian legend except in fighter planes.
Yeah Belka's attitude was "Well if we can't have it no one can" when it came to their own territory, and nuked their borders to prove it. Their whole schtick was national pride "we are the best" rhetoric cranked to 11... reminds me of russia these days actually.
@Zerum Sum Nationalism is always the same trash in functionally infinite wrappers.
So in a sense even though it wouldn't actually create an impenetrable border, no one knew any better or was brave enough to even try...especially given Belka just showed they were willing to nuke themselves rather than be occupied.
I just wanted to add that MAD did exist, but that was mainly during the Cold War between Osea and Yuktobania, before any of the games took place
This. It would’ve been the equivalent of, say, Hitler nuking the Seelow Heights to stop the Soviets from reaching Berlin. The consequences were outweighed by nationalistic pride.
15 years ago, there was a war. Well, war's broken out here plenty of times before. They've tried to invade the southlands through the northern valley time and time again. Luck was never on their side though, and their victories didn't last long. They didn't realise that times had changed. Facing one defeat after another, losing territory and watching their nation dwindle, they built up their industrial strength to unprecedented heights and used it to wage one final battle against the world. That was 15 years ago. They fought ferociously, but were utterly defeated. The Belkans then committed the unthinkable - they used nuclear weapons on their own soil. Seeing this tragedy unfold before their own eyes, the victorious countries vowed to throw down their weapons. The world was once again at peace. And thanks to them, it seemed it would last forever. On a distant island, far away from civilisation, the protectors of the peace take to the skies.
This is the Ace Combat 5 opening word for word -_- … you are a man of culture.
Alright just for that, I'm gonna listen to First Flight again
Except peace never lasts forever
Take my like you Beautiful, cultured bastard.
I can’t wait for a Max0r video based on 5. There’s got to be more than enough in there to meme for at least an hour.
Yeah the "nuclear border" was figurative, not literal. Belka was basically saying "if you take one step past this point, expect a nuke" and were willing to destroy themselves rather than face occupation.
It also shocked everyone into calling a ceasefire. The actual nuclear border part wasn’t the most important part
@@Kay_213_ that's huge slaughter
@@arlinalvera1773 yup it is. Real dumbass move
What if I tell you MacArthur wanted to create a nuclear border between China and North Korea?
Bad thing about Hoffnung, right after the Allied bombers dumps their entire payload on what is supposed to be a surgical strike, the Belkans themselves started their own Scorched Earth on Hoffnung themselves, while evacuating the millitary ahead of the civilians
I think the Belkan command wasn't understanding the situation, they had thought the calls "Hoffnung had fallen" meant Allied occupation and they had heard about the Armored unit on the outskirts, but since capturing a City takes too long during the operation the Allies decided to have the Tanks bypass the city and they just bombed it. Belkans didn't get the memo...
@@rubenlopez3364 So much for the city of hope...
"Yo buddy, you still alive?"
A little banged up, but I'm okay. How about you?
"You're a slave to history. Even after Calamity, you fight against the only order that can guarantee the safety of your people. You, solely, are responsible for this."
Maxor's style is shitposting, so he's going to leave in takes where he's nearly busting out laughing or smirking because it contributes to the shitposting quality.
The interlude was utterly unnecessary, but the game has similar unnecessary interludes.
Not reallly though? The interludes put a focus on the various enemy aces you fight and the framing device of this all being a documentary created by a reporter based on records and first hand accounts from soldiers. Ace combat 4 and X had these types of interludes as well with 4 coming from the perspective of a civilian focusing on the main rival, while X also had the whole reporter schtick
Some thing i would like to clarify about the game because the it's hard to tell from the game:
the player and pixie are mercenaries contracted by Osea(a leading country) alongside other other countries that dont want belka to invade them or are being invaded.
The missions dont occur one after the other, during briefings the date is showed and while not shown it is assumed the pilots do rest.
The game is really is narrated by a journalist that after some digging found multiple mentions of the player so he interviewed people that he fought and pixie to see if there was something else to the war than the public version.
The game has sorta of a karma system(mercenary, soldier or knight)for shooting or not those buildings that arent military or objectives and disablied enemy aircraft (marked in yellow) and will change the first and third squadron to one that reflects what you represent and give insight about the player, in knight the squadrons are a veteran for until recently was retired and got called back for the war and the other was more a nobleman from a line of knights dedicated to duty
In the broad strokes this kind of narrative interlude is a running theme in the Ace Combat series: Outside of game-play we don't typically follow the Player Character, instead we are either following a few different unrelated or tangentially related characters throughout the game's conflict, often through the lens of them sharing an account of events after the war is over. What's more many times some of the character we follow are from the opposing side, sometimes even the enemy aces you face in the game. This tends to give the conflicts in the Ace Combat series an atypically nuanced feel compared to many other milliary stye games, its made clear that the people on the other side are, well, people.
40:47 Pretty sure Belka nuked ITSELF to prevent people from invading its core. It wasn't nuking conquered territory. It's like if France nuked the Pyrenees to stop a Spanish invasion. Insane... but there's a purpose.
Yes, but if you're talking about just moving an army from one side of the blast area to the other, you can easily fly over the affected area or at worst be hindered for a few days/weeks for radiation levels to drop enough for you to just roll tanks and APCs through it
worst part is its probably the most logical and sane use of a nuke in warefare possible
The nukes also hit a lot of the troops trying to enter further into the territory, and as a general show of force.
@@Themurderin The writers might not've known that last part, and were more thinking psychological warfare and/or "they can't possibly have enough helicopters to haul their whole army over the blast zone, right?".
@@davididiart5934 nukes are really rare in ace combat, it was basically saying "Belka is fucking insane, don't mess with them"
Pixy sounds deranged because he actually did lose it in the game. Max0r is playing it up for laughs, of course, but Pixy actually drops hints in a couple earlier missions that he hates the war, and it's slowly breaking him down. After Hoffnung is burned, he slides right off the cliff, tries to kill Cipher, and vanishes for months. When he reappears at Avalon in the final mission, he's a broken shell of who he was, determined to reset the world to bring an end to pointless wars.
It also makes him a hypocrite, as during "Mayhem", which is the second battle at the Round Table (where Max0r flights Schwarze Squadron), PJ says he's fighting for peace. Pixy tells PJ that believing that "you think you can stop bloodshed by shedding more blood" is a stupid and naive idea, and basically foreshadows his death ("flying around with all those ideas in your head is gonna get you killed"). Yet, in the end, Pixy goes back on this, believing that causing worldwide death and destruction can rid the world of conflict and bring peace to those who come after. A new civilization without borders or differences, unified completely and at peace forever.
Obviously that idea is insane and would never work, but it shows how far he's fallen. A joke in the community around the series is that "war is bad, planes are rad". You think Zero's got a strange story, check out 5. Spies, more nukes, a shadowy organization hell bent on destroying the world so they can rule afterwards, it's nuts the amount of background lore the team put into a game that started out as just a fun shoot shoot game. Ace Combat is basically Metal Gear Solid: Fighter Jet Edition.
For added insanity, check out Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. The translated Japanese version, because the export version kinda sucked.
I play dcs, and while we do have some ace combat """inspired""" content boy would it be cool to have a metal gear campaign, set maybe around ms2 time.
@@npc6817 I love it when "gamey" stories are implemented into a more realistic environment. I've seen Project Wingman and New Vegas stuff in ArmA 3, and seeing a more realistic take on them is pretty cool. It also shows just how vulnerable the protagonist would be, because in the PW one, the guy who was playing as Monarch got overconfident, forgot the plane controlled differently in ArmA, and smashed into the ground. XD
"Is warfare a goofy meme"
I never expected that
Is this metal gear rising?
@Yukikaze Ch seen it, one of the best youtube series to ever be born from a shitpost
I meant the part about war beeing a meme... exquisite
39:35
It’s odd because years after playing this game, the polish government released a top secret file from the Soviet Union days. Apparently the Soviet government had a similar plan, where they would nuke half of Central Europe to make sure no one cross the border by air and especially land. That was a plan made in the 60’s, 80% of Poland would’ve been vaporized of WW3 started while the USSR was around.
It’s very odd that this game had a similar plot, years before this came into the light.
I mean, we kind of did the same with the Fulda Gap. Hell, we even had nuclear "land mines" in place.
Yea they planned on sending their own troops across with CBRN Gear in Armored vehicles if they needed to.
@@ryanpayne7707
Yea but the Soviet plan was identical to this
If it's a decent idea in the numbers game it's been planned. That plan while extradornarily cold blooded, would achieve it's goal.
During the game you get to see interviews with pilots that you have fought. That's partly was the interlude was about.
Opening question in this video:
Warfare can be many things ar once. Including a goofy meme and a moral question.
The answer is yes.
@@anotherrandomguy6012 yeah.
Inb4 Ace Combat fans dropping lore dumps in the comments
I can hear the trucks backing into the depot now
He didn't really go edgy, it's kinda mean to point out but it's a well known fact that people who's first language is Japanese struggle to make the "L" sound due to it not existing in Japanese.
How many missiles these aircraft have?
Ace Combat fans: Yes
"1.9 Trillion" puts 1.9 Billion on the calculator.
That wasn't $9 from every working American, that was $9,000 from every working American.
The "Belka invaded everyone and was beaten as a result" was established in 2004's Ace Combat 5 (game was announced in 2002) and I wouldn't call that one an Iraq War metaphor.
Also what's weird about the unit designations? They leave stuff out from the middle but air divisions are a thing, USAF has had them as well.
I'm pretty sure the USAF calls them "wings," not "air divisions. And who makes a dedicated "night fighter squadron" anymore. It made sense when radars were massive and NVGs didn't exist, but nowadays, any fighter can fly at any time of day.
USAF air divisions were a level above wings.
Point about dedicated night fighter units, but one could assume it used to be an actual night fighter unit that just never got redesignated because tradition or something.
@@whale2870 Little late, but Schwarz was essentially the squadron that gets sent in to take out any retreating elements of the Belkan Air Force. That's the reason their leader appears to be on the run during the interview, he is actively being hunted by Osea for war crimes.
@@GrimdarkCrusader20th Yeah? But an air force explicitly designating a unit as barrier troops or having an entire centralized division of them sounds off to me.
@@whale2870 It's one of those things that's just kind of evil for the sake of it.
Never have I heard of an officer that would allow and try to get his troops at least 8 hours of sleep
Your men were blessed
Me: Hey why does the transition to act 3 so familiar in Maxor's vid, when I first watched it, I didn't recognize it.
*searches Hoi4 TNO Burgundian lullaby
Me: Oh God, oh no
ITS TIME
God I love ace combat zero.
It's probably my favorite video game hands down. Just. So good.
It's funny how you when you clarified that you meant male/female relationships when you were talking about having 50k male soldiers in a rural 10k pop city, my thought went the other way. Thinking "Ohhh, so that's why soldier porn is popular in gay porn" lmao
There is actually lots of campy dialogues and scenarios in Ace Combat games just like Metal gear solid with similar subtle anti-war message, it's just buried under all of Max0r's memes and jokes. You should definitely play a ace combat game because if you enjoy metal gear games, then chances are high you might enjoy this series too. The best 3 games in the franchise as the fans call "The Holy Trinity" are Ace Combat 4, AC5 and AC Zero which are sadly locked on the PS2 but you can play them using PCSX2 (a ps2 emulator) with a little bit of work and some yt tutorials. Or you can try Ace Combat 7, the latest entry with a simple story that doesn't require much or any previous knowledge of the lore of Strangereal to understand, its also multi-plat so avaliable on steam with the base game being very cheap excluding the ridiculous amount of DLC's which are pretty much new aircrafts and nothing too major. Can't wait for your reaction to the competitive genocide simulator that is Project Wingman now lol.
Number 2 wasn't bad either, but it had far less emphasis on story or companions.
@@exumbra1399 You mean Ace Combat 2? Yea it was pretty arcadey just like the first game on the ps1 but then AC3 came and went full ham with cool but dystopic futuristic aircrafts and environments with fully animated cutscenes that were so big that the japanese version needed two discs, sadly the US release got absolutely butchered and censored which was a crime against humanity.
28:45 about that . After the war Belka shifted away from human pilots in future wars developing advance unmanned aircraft that were sold into other warring countries to get combat data for improving them. In the latest game the uavs developed by a certain belkan company are insanely powerful. On one hand we have two giant flying drone carriers each carrying 80 combat drones and on the other hand we have ZOE(regular and futuristic fighter jets controls by ai) to replace human pilots.They made all of this due to them losing to many pilots during this war.
memes are best described as a winrar file. theres a bunch of information compressed down into one photo and then we turned everything into memes but still basically a winrar file.
4:33: There ARE escorts in that mission- just no where near enough of them. There's about 5-8 or so F-4's and whatnot.
10:34: The game's plot is framed as a documentary on the Belkan War, shot in 2005, so you're not too far off.
13:43: That's 1.9 billion, not trillion. It should be $9,500/person.
36:40: "Dear Taliban, the HVT is definitely NOT at any of the following locations." (Lists every location except the guy's office.) (Yes, I know this is technically treason.)
40:02: Scorched Earth. They nuked themselves to stave off the advancing armies. And it worked as it showed they were willing to use nukes as a dead man's switch should the other nations keep advancing.
55:00: No.
56:27: No, only commercial service airports with part 121 commercial flights operating from them. There's about 500 of those in the country- and 14,000 airports without such services. (Just an FYI.)
My Paternal Grandfather flew a bomber in Europe in WW2 and among his targets were the Ball Bearing factories
I will never get tired of you explaining world politics to me while Max0r tries to give me Epilepsy.
"How many missiles do these aircraft have?"
...
...
...
YES.
Can't help but think of a little funny fact after you said "I don't want the secretary of defense to believe in aliens". In the last Guilty Gear game, the US secretary of defense carries with him at all times an alien inside a metal coffin, and despite that he doesn't believe in aliens anyway.
4:25 at that time in ww2 there werent fighter-jets, they were just normal prop fighters, it wasnt until the very end of the war that the germans and british later managed to have useful fighter jets
Yeah I was about to say "Wait Fighter jets?!? That not what I learned."
Most likely just mispoke
The thing about ace combat is that it likes to root itself in just enough realism and then throws war is bad but planes are rad at you. Also ace combat dialog can be pretty campy, probably because it's japanese. They throw arthurian references at you all the time in zero. One thing I wish maxor would have referenced is that you start to be called the Demon Lord of the Round Table which is one of the most ridiculous things.
43:50 Dont forget though, american imperialism is absolutely justified, because you had a black president once!
Praises MGS2 for it's insane premises
Immediately shuts AC0 down for its insane premises
Have to agree about TSA, while they aren't all bad, some TSAs in some areas defiantly come off as hiring people to "fill" positions and not actually have them be qualified or in some cases even have a decent demeanor. Having worked at an airport and having to go through the TSA screening it really does feel like a song and dance.
Let's face it...
...PJ had so many death flags that he was actually talking in Semaphore the whole time!!
Your point about overworking pilots is actually something mentioned in game by the Gelb Team guy who got interviewed.
His squadron kept being deployed from one misison to the next without even receiving the most basic of maintainence to their planes
53:30
Pretty sure it was Sseth, but these words still ring true and it’s exactly why i love the MGS series.
“We have become so absurd that we have crossed from fiction into history.”
It’s honestly what makes metal gear so believable (at times) and good. As insane as the whole series, or just single game, gets… it has a better point and message about the world than most games ever will.
It’s almost like the absurdity of a vampire will make you suddenly remember what the world is like and go: “oh shit, rampant media is a thing.”
I was praying for him to react this. Thank you!
Edit: I forgot to add but I want him to react to Project Wingman and his reaction to Crimson 1
This is the first time i'm seeing this kind of video format.
Please make more, and react to more serious videos like 2 hour documentaries on ace combat, i'd love it!
Great video as always! Max0r makes some great edits
"Was that S rank on that mission worth it? Was it worth it sending missiles down a chimney of a family home just for a new aircraft?"
A short in-depth about the reasons behind the Belkan War:
Belka controlled territories with different cultures: Rectans, Gebetians, Rationese, Ustian and Osean Indigenous Peoples (FATO).
Osea used diplomatic pressure and economic warfare to dismantle the belkan federation. The reason for doing so being mineral resources in the ustian part of the federation. If Osea helped Ustian nationalists obtain independence, then Ustio would favor Osea in dealing with these resources.
2:20 oh yea, that time sadam hussein invaded Kuwait after he failed to accomplish the task that the US had armed him for, which was to drive out the religious leader of iran who absorbed irans large military which was primarily sponsored by the US again back when iran was under the leadership of a more pro american dictator, a dictator that was so cruel that the Iranians successfully rebelled against him.
its pretty unnerving how everything always leads back to US involvement
Nothing new, before us it was the British. What global empires do.
@@Fordo007 very true
back in the times of the british empire these decisions were made from a top down perspective, with the benefactors being the same to hold the power. one would assume that a functioning democracy would view the world from the perspective of a people, not from the high vantage point of the rich and powerful. but the USA are not a functioning democracy.
the question is, are global superpowers and democracy just not combinable ?
does every government with access to large enough power betray its own system to enrich its self?
i would like to believe that a fair and functional democracy and a strong position on the global stage are not mutually exclusive, but in the end history writes its self no matter what our individual hopes are.
I'm surprised you never mentioned anything about the Yugoslav Wars images that were flashing by when the reporter was yelling "I CAN JUST FEEL THE TENSION DISSIPATING".
IT'S TIME
I've been waiting for this for so long. Now I'm waiting for Project Wingman reaction
I thought if today I won't get a Max0r or Sseth video analisys, I would cry myself to death.
A thing to Know is Ace Combat Zero The Belken War (Is A Prequal to AC 5) has multiple cutscene / Ending where at points and then at the End in Total, It will Judge if You 1. Killed everything you could Death to all . 2. Did objectives plus Bonus (Hidden) Money targets or 3. Shot enemy Targets until they Turn Yellow a Mercy can't fight any more but not dead and Not shoot at un involved civilian targets. and Endings and even the Documentary of the game would change and how much money you made per mission and how.
Ukraine? The whole middle east get's sent to medieval times if it opposes certain oil corporations. Total war and colonial war mostly depends on the ability of the opponent to repulse a existentially determined invader. Also the notion that we condition soldiers to not contemplate the bigger picture and moral questions of their actions kinda lay bare that you cannot have a colonial military force without structural ethical bankruptcy. We do not help fight corruption or poverty with soldiers, we don't improve literacy or improve standards of living.
True
3:28 yeah good point
Osea is so large that it's hard to mobilize enough manpower to stop belka from marching
There's also a choke point where the belka is pushing for to cut off osea into half but because of air power from all attacked countries they can't push fast enough
One video and its comments section that I dearly wish you would check out is Raptor Elite's video about two characters; the canon version of the Pixy you saw in this video, who isn't even remotely as batshit as Max0r wrote and voiced him to be, and Crimson 1 of Project Wingman. That's a whole other brand of insanity.
In any case, Project Wingman is openly a love letter to the Ace Combat series and it shows. To the point that clipping these two's in-game dialogue together results in a coherent conversation - and not only that, but Pixy's roasts are almost as effective as his missiles.
I rewrote and tidied up this, found the original in the comments section of this video in question;
---
Imagine that you're a veteran of a war against your own country.
A mercenary, with a past mostly forgotten by time.
A war that ended with the nation of your birth launching nuclear missiles at their own soil in mad desperation.
You nearly did the same, too. Wiped the whole slate clean, in anger at the pointlessness of the war.
Only you didn't manage to, because you were stopped by the only pilot that could humble you.
Once your wingman. Still your buddy.
It stung both of you when it was over.
After *much* soul searching, imagine you decide to join a PMC group with a plan to atone for your sin. You join in the liberation of-
Wait. Something seems familiar...
As this new war goes on, things decline. Old scars start opening up.
Your new wingmen can barely keep up with you. But you will do anything to keep them alive.
Soon you find yourself defending Presidia, the heart of a nation that wanted its liberty enough to fight for it.
Soon, a truce was in effect. But you're uneasy.
You've seen this before, and you already know how this will go down.
It is as if you're no longer in Cascadia anymore. At the end, you may as well be back at the Avalon Dam as the red of a nuclear winter begins to kick up.
Imagine you can almost fool yourself into thinking it's snow...
Memories of blue skies and a familiar callsigns dance in your head, mocking you.
You're no longer Hitman 1.
You're fighting some mad, twisted mirror of yourself and a reflection of your own past actions.

BRUH. Ace Combat is basically Metal Gear with jets.
I forgot what strategic value that zone B7R actually holds
Sub-teranean resources.
Belka desperately needs them. And it was detected RIGHT AFTER they'd given Ustio and other countries (which borders crossed the Zone) their independences
React to Love Death Robots In "Vaulted Halls Entombed." Unsure if off brand or too new for issues.
48:04 well look at that, the XFA-36A from Electrosphere, which happens around 2040, has been a cool airplane since the 90s :D
I actually am not sure I quite agree with your interpretation of *why* the ending few missions are rushed. Actually, I think it makes a very correct analogy to the power vacuums that are left behind after an act of aggression like the Iraq War. A World With No Boundaries appears to fill the ideological and political gap left by the sudden collapse of Belka and the dissatisfaction it bred. What happened in the real world? ISIS, an ideologically motivated, totally insane faction with an urge to burn it all down and replace it with something radically different, and it attracted high-level figures from the old regime the US destroyed. Really, it's downright prescient.
No, the end is rushed entirely because they just didn't fill out how we got there, to be honest.
1:35, mans completely forgot Britain, like how?
He’s gonna love the Project Wingman video
17:05 It actually is. Even Pixy jokes about saying something like: "Nuclear inspection, what a joke!"
As a former avionics troop, yes, I believe in the round earth. Half our systems wont work on a flat earth lol
28:00 well i mean nobody expects a single enemy aircraft to defeat your legendery 8 formation squadron

Hey! Posadas is a Latin American writer and theorist. He was a part of the Fourth International, the international association of communist parties that supported Trotsky's side in his spat with Stalin and the USSR. The Posadists, as they came to be known, split off from the Fourth International under Posadas hhimself in the 60s/70s. The Posadists were isolated and insular and they sort of... went weird? Posadas was a weird guy interested in UFOs and his interest filtered down to further Posadists (any aliens would probably be communists, as they would need to be to be that advanced, so we should be signalling them for help in our revolutionary struggle!) and the group also contemplated whether an early pre-emptive nuclear strike on the Capitalist west could be "won" and might in fact be the needed push to end the hold of Capital. Other leftists and communists thought they were batshit nuts and after Posadas died in the 80s they became more obscure. Recently, in the last decade, the Posadists have become a meme in a lot of leftist/progressive internet spaces as well as more esoteric spaces because the idea of a bunch of communist academics talking about nuking the world and aliens saving us from capitalism sounds extremely cartoonish and funny.
Yeah, Zero was made in less than a year. I consider it to be an expansion of Ace Combat 5
um ackshually, meme's DID actually exist before the 90's, in fact, the definition existed since 1967 but functionally existed literally since the first two people communicated. meme's are "an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means." what you count as "memes" are just a small subset of actual memes. modern meme's are just a way of communicating in a humorous way for the internet culture.
Is it me or is his mic occasionally glitchy at times
The bit at 4:06 is from a game called Lifeline, a game where you do pretty much everything through a microphone and for some strange reason the game will not recognize "PlayStation".
21:00 That was the problem. As far as I know, Excalibur was a secret weapon and it was far away, no could imagine that. But we are talking about Belka.
4:35 No, no, they do have escorts. They are utterly trash because its the first mission and you wipe the whole formation in 3 minutes. The in-game justification would be overconfidence by high command.
5:20 No, they aren't refugee camps, its military BUT they have no anti-air defences. What he is refering to is the presence of civilian buildings being used as supply dumps by the belkan army.
8:30 The player and wingman are bait in this mission. The objetive was to have the belkans busy while the osean navy moved into striking distance of the in-game equivalent of the Kiel canal.
15:00 Then again, not civilian. Army HQs with no anti-air defences.
17:00 Yes. Its just an insert of the fabricated WMDs war justification. Except the end justified the means because the belkans did have nukes and quite a lot of 'em.
20:50 In game they are not troop transporting, they are supplying. No marines.
27:40 Right on. The Belkan Air Force being overworked and undermaintained is one of the central dialogue topics in the missions.
32:45 Only the first wave of fighters are desperate home-based squadrons trying to stop the allied forces. The second wave is formed by stealth bombers and fighters with the objetive of destroying experimental weapons facilities in the city, so they don't fall in the hands of the allies.
38:20 Posadism advocates nuclear warfare as a viable means to the end of capitalism. Also bringing communism to the aliens. Look it up, its a fascinating rabbit hole. In-game, the end-game villains are posadists.
40:00 It does. They drop nukes on the 7 major roads/pathways into Belka through the Waldreich Mountains. It stopped the allies dead in its tracks.
46:30 The whole game is a mash-up of WW2 and Operation Desert Storm / Iraq. You have WMD-AA Laser-Giant Bomber-making germans against jingoist americans and an ambiguous Russia who is only mentioned in game by narrations of secret operatives and disserting pilots.
I forgot if he goes into the whole thing of how you can play 3 different paths and go for not attacking yellow targets to be a moral knight
4:30 Imma stop you right there... fighter "jets"?
47:12 that was actually a mistake on Max0r's part. I'm not sure if they explicitly say what kind of bomb V2 is in Ace Combat Zero specifically, but in Ace Combat 5 (the game that Zero is a direct prequel to) V2 makes a return, and in that game it's correctly identified as a MERV by the briefing officer.
55:00 1) no, the montage was added by Max0r
2) the stuff that Max0r labeled as real in-game dialogue is real, anything he didn't label as such was made up by him. Though the actual dialogue is pretty comparable. For example, when he launches V2, Pixy says "too bad, buddy. This twisted game needs to be reset." Or after AWACS tells you that you need to shoot Pixy down from the front, he ends off with "demon lord of the round table, I pray for your success"
So, this wasn't the only video Max0r put himself in. I believe you can see him in the others, but fro a very short time.
At 55:45 wasnt the reason why Airlines dont let you bring liquids was because a terrorist brought 0.5 liters of nitroglycerin to the plane and made a makeshift bomb which was then hidden under the seat for the next flight which killed the person who sat on it next but luckily didnt break the plane since the force of the explosion went In to the poor guys ass.
Have you done a reaction to Max0rs project wingman video
the enemy squadrons are named after colors in german
26:00 Memes being incomprehensible to people in the 90's? They're mostly incomprehensible to most people NOW! XD
About 11:55, it's true that creating jobs is easy, but creating productive jobs, not so much.
You gave the example of the Great Depression, but did not cite the consequences of this keynesianistic approach. The economy feels when useless jobs are created, inflation gets higher to compensate, the result is an economic bubble which just delays and aggravates the same issue, but for the later generations.
Breaking a window to give the glassmaker a job does not make the economy grow.
Ya know what, for all things considered Iraq now is prob one of the most stable countries in the middle east, they rose up from the brink of destruction and actually did good compared to Afghanistan
i have idea about nuke to make border. it's same as Mcarthur try it to block chiness force to help north korea in korea war
I'm curious about what you'd have to say with Max0r's incorrect summary of Project Wingman.
How much dialogue is real
"YES"
You probably have asked this before but could you react to Max0r's video on elden ring?, I know you've already done that with Sseth's one but I think it will still be a worthwhile endevour.
Also I've been ejoying your videos, (otherwise I wouldn't specifically ask for more of them).
54:20 this is what’s known as the “achieve peace” ideology which is basically a characters attempt to make world peace a reality but they have the most radical methods. It is in ACZ, AC5, and AC7’s dlc campaign but don’t worry the other 2 examples try to make sense… well “try” to
my mother used to work on the airport and post 911 they put a fucking fire extinguisher into their friends suitcase without anyone noticing
Take a shot everytime he pauses the video
Ace combat is basically metal gear plot but it's about plane POV.
25:00
Try explaining memea to someone from the 90's...
Me: So like Ryan George's "It's the 90's show" skits
Big fan of your reaction channel. Please take a look at tex talk amaris civil war. It will be an awesome event for you with how realistic despite mechs the battletech universe is
40:27 it was more an act of terror and desperation, than a tactical one on the Belkan's part. I was a declaration that Belkan will rather Nuke themselves and escalate the war to apocalyptic level, if the invading forces kept advancing
Cant wait for him to watch ace combat fan
Pretty sure because of the copyrighted music combine with Max0rs incorrect summary probably threw you off. But it was Belka that detonated those 7 nukes to create that border. It's more like they're making a statement that they rather nuked themselves along with the approaching enemies than let their country be conquered.
Finally, incorrect summary of Ace Combat Zero
so the V2 is real and we are fucked?
4:45 Yep the Belkan War was the strangereal version of ww2
