BF3's dogfighting is much better than ACAH's.

Simply put, Assault Horizon is EPIC. I love it. The story is engrossing, the main characters are likeable, the voice acting is excellent, the missions are varied & action packed, the audio & gfx are insane, and the co-op and vs. modes are ridiculously fun.

I'm loving the new DFM & ASM gameplay mechanics, but I do have some gripes. If you're hosting an online game, you should have the option to enable/disable the Close Range Assault System for those that don't want to use it. Also, Namco needs to bring back the target lead indicators for guns, gun pods, and rocket launchers when not in DFM and the Global ASM Skill is something all Multi-Role & Attacker class aircraft should be capable of from the get-go. It shouldn't be a skill you're required to unlock and equip in the first place.

Attacker class aircraft desperately need the Counter Maneuver System implemented. That's the only class that's severely dependent on wingman support in order to survive and, as it is, it's very unbalanced. When an enemy player engages you in DFM, if you don't have a wingman intervene immediately, you're pretty much screwed. Which is ridiculous because most people tend to go "Rambo" and only work together in the sense they're all trying to complete the same main objective. Regardless, all other class of aircraft have more suitable means of survival without aid. Namely, counter measures PLUS the Counter Maneuver System.

I really like flying the Apache and the Hind, but I had to do some major adjusting to AC:AH's chopper controls and physics. I was surprised by just how arcade-like they were. I'm so used to flying Apache: Air Assault that AC:AH's *extremely* simplified controls and physics actually made it more difficult for me to fly. It took a while for me to get used to it, but I think I got it down now. It'd be great if we were given the option to "lock/unlock" the targeting reticle's center position for both cockpit and chase camera views.

I was disappointed there's only one mission in the campaign where you can fly Attacker class aircraft, and even more disappointed that mission is not available in co-op mode.

Have you got a new linky? It seems the one you posted isn't working anymore.

I made this account just to point out how disappointed I am with this game, in hoping to make myself feel better. I've played and loved every AC game since 4, and I was so glad that there was no major changes in gameplay since AC4. Because of that, I was really looking forward to this title. Every disappointing aspect has been pointed out by other old school AC fans, and it seems like we all share the same frustrations. Maybe this is a sign? Anyway, I haven't finished the campaign, and I don't think I will, because the missions down right piss me off. I don't recall being this angry at a video game since I was a child playing my Nintendo. This is due to the fact that I love this series so much, not to mention the high hopes I had for this title. To sum it all up, Assault Horizon feels way too different to be an Ace Combat game, so much that it almost feels like a big "**** you" to all the old school fans. I understand that they tried to incorporate new elements and bring new life, so to speak, to the series, and there's nothing wrong with that. But to me, the result is unacceptable.
All in all, I'm beyond disappointed with this game, and I definitely won't be buying the next one without testing the waters first.

Nekro, The game is different from previous installments but it's core is still there. It's still an arcade flight game. I've played every platform ace combat since so i can understand your frustration. truthfully to like assault horizon you gotta have an open mind about it. DFM IMO is a good addition since in previous ace combats the guns were useless unless you knew how to shoot them. The game was changed so the gaming community would find it a little easier to play. I've learned to accept tje game for what it is and not think about the past installments. If you have trouble with the campaign look up a walkthrough. Try mines out if you want. It's on Ace diffecult but still a work in progress. I hope you change your view of the game with this.

Will we be getting the Idolm@ter DLC for the game? That was one of my favorite features in the last Ace Combat game and was hoping Namco would include the new ones for AH:
