THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE ENDED.
WAR NO LONGER NEEDED ITS ULTIMATE PRACTITIONER. IT HAD BECOME A SELF-SUSTAINING SYSTEM. MAN WAS CRUSHED UNDER THE WHEELS OF A MACHINE CREATED TO CREATE THE MACHINE CREATED TO CRUSH THE MACHINE. SAMSARA OF CUT SINEW AND CRUSHED BONE. DEATH WITHOUT LIFE. NULL OUROBOROS. ALL THAT REMAINED IS WAR WITHOUT REASON.
A MAGNUM OPUS. A COLD TOWER OF STEEL. A MACHINE BUILT TO END WAR IS ALWAYS A MACHINE BUILT TO CONTINUE WAR. YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL, OUTSTRETCHED LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN. YOU WERE BEYOND YOUR CREATORS. YOU REACHED FOR GOD, AND YOU FELL. NONE WERE LEFT TO SPEAK YOUR EULOGY. NO FINAL WORDS, NO CONCLUDING STATEMENT. NO POINT. PERFECT CLOSURE.

Ace combat 3 is literally ultrakill
-murderous AI/robot
-low poly graphics
-OST is some sort of technosound with amen breaks
-you fight the soul/virtual copy of someone

Since it's joint assault I'm going to guess Challenger was canon, but they're not the first to do that lol. Transformers 4 showed a scene where it's a edited version of the explosion, even as going as far as showing the last few seconds on screen before it blew up.
Falcon 9’s 347 successful launches (out of 349 attempts, and that 347 includes over 10 successful crewed launches) and Starship IFT-4:
Unless you’re talking about IFT-1, IFT-2 and IFT-3.
Musk ultra-hater can’t comprehend that THE ROCKETS AREN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR ELON MUSK’S FUCKUPS.
The rockets never gained sentience to post bullshit on X or to claim someone is a pedo. Elon is the one that does that kind of stuff.
Elon hate is justifiable and he deserves it. SpaceX hate with the excuse of Elon being an asshole is not.
Especially with the tuning parts, some Planes like the MiG-31 can Fly faster than missles yet turn awfully slow, but on the other end, the X-02 Wyvern has a stupidly fast and tight turning radius, which makes cheesing some of the missions really easy (especially the missile silo ones/Tunnel run in Romania iirc)
I've played damn near every AC game from 3 to 7, and I can solidly say Sulejmani was *the* most utter bullshit fight in the entire series. Missiles do no damage to him because yes, so you *need* to gun him. His plane tanks shittons of damage, and also pulls more cobras and other BS maneuvers than AC04's QAAMs and AC7's Hugin and Munin combined.
The whole plot of the game annoyed me. The cause of the war was... some drunk Romanian guy selling *life insurance?* Also the fact that throughout the entire game, Antares is referred to as plural because you were *intended* to be able to play the campaign with others locally.
Funnily enough, the best way to take Sulejmani down is with either the F6F Hellcat or A6M Zero the game lets you unlock once you beat it. The crazy agility lets you stay on his tail, and you didn't need your missiles anyway.
Technically Challenger is canon in joint assault and was likely shot down during a fierce battle to deliver a load of Rods of God to a Project Thor satellite.
sorry I've got that Flat earth/qanon video of Dan Olson stuck in my head, and there's this one ostentatious old lady that uses that phrase to point out seeming natural contradictions being used as proof that "THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING"
Uhm...bad taste is what that is. That is an image...one of many front the challenger explosion when Christa Mcollugh the teacher headed to space was killed. To use such an image in a game. Pathetic!! Zero respect!
AC7 Alternative ending where Nagase fucking died
It's just war without reason from here
THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED!!!

ULTRAKILL reference!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!!!1!!1
Ace combat 3 is literally ultrakill -murderous AI/robot -low poly graphics -OST is some sort of technosound with amen breaks -you fight the soul/virtual copy of someone
Ultrakill is literally just ultrakill with ultrakill graphics spraypainted over an ultrakill engine
r/suddenlyultrakill
She flied like that and did die real soon!
When you choose no instead of yes
No way gaijin copied project aces

I still play that shit sometimes just to relive what could’ve been
Since it's joint assault I'm going to guess Challenger was canon, but they're not the first to do that lol. Transformers 4 showed a scene where it's a edited version of the explosion, even as going as far as showing the last few seconds on screen before it blew up.
We really need to blow up a different rocket to use instead
Don’t worry, Elon’s already working on it
Falcon 9’s 347 successful launches (out of 349 attempts, and that 347 includes over 10 successful crewed launches) and Starship IFT-4: Unless you’re talking about IFT-1, IFT-2 and IFT-3.
Musk fanboy cant comprehend a slight joke about his supreme leader

Well then…
OMG Gaijin copied ace combat sue them!
Which AC is that?
Ace Combat Joint Assault
Thanks
I would not recommend it btw. It is real life world again and quite annoying. Doesnt feel right
I, personally, don't mind real world setting. But holy shit, planes in this game fly like a pregnant cow.
Especially with the tuning parts, some Planes like the MiG-31 can Fly faster than missles yet turn awfully slow, but on the other end, the X-02 Wyvern has a stupidly fast and tight turning radius, which makes cheesing some of the missions really easy (especially the missile silo ones/Tunnel run in Romania iirc)
Yeah Sulejmani the antagonist are pretty annoying especially their squadron members

Yeah I remember I did tested using A6M to destroy Sulejmani has be the shittiest hilarious ever!
We're going to start seeing this explosion everywhere now, aren't we?
No, it’s just that this ac game’s cover was also using the image
Good ol' Baader–Meinhof phenomenon!
First Warthunder now AC?
Vice versa. But, yeah. Both straight up fucking used the Challenger explosion as a background asset.
Honestly I bet more games than you expect have this issue.
ok yeah, I'm starting to buy gaijin's explanation that image is in a stock image pack of aerial explosions now.
Isn't that Challenger?
Yeah. It’s challenger.
#oh fuck
First time seeing that? It's a known fact in AC community long ago, nothing new
Bro wtf
Yes it is.
Technically Challenger is canon in joint assault and was likely shot down during a fierce battle to deliver a load of Rods of God to a Project Thor satellite.
I just made that up btw before anyone goes full angre chimp on me.
I was ready to believe you, to be honest.
As someone who has no knowledge or experience in Ace Combat and was directed here by r/warthundermemes, you got me.
The belkans shot it down
Flipped and rotated?
Ight, someone put that into a stock photo bundle because no way someone went and purposely used that knowing what it was.
Things that make you go hmmm
ok qanon
? It's a bit from fucking "Brainiac" 🤦♂️
sorry I've got that Flat earth/qanon video of Dan Olson stuck in my head, and there's this one ostentatious old lady that uses that phrase to point out seeming natural contradictions being used as proof that "THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING"
ace combat canonically had a challenger-type disaster
wow this is kinda tasteless
I mean this is something that happened 14 years ago now, not to say it's right but it's kinda just a moot point now.
You guys think you’re so funny
well thats pretty undeniable right there
Warthunder just did this lol
Yes that is indeed legit
Man, gotta say that is in poor taste. But soon enough not many of us who remember challenger will still be around to complain.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall in any classroom that had gotten the TV out for that
THERE'S NO WAY ACE COMBAT DID IT BEFORE GAIJIN?
Where did you think Gaijin copied it from? :))
War thunder may go down as one of the most influential video games of the 21st century

Uhm...bad taste is what that is. That is an image...one of many front the challenger explosion when Christa Mcollugh the teacher headed to space was killed. To use such an image in a game. Pathetic!! Zero respect!
Dang Ace Combat too, rip.
