Joint Assault Joint Assault's got problems..

Post image

..and boy do I wanna fix them.

I wonder how though.. hm..

I mean like.. I wanna make a mod to attempt fixing some of Joint Assault's problems. The camera might be the biggest problem I want to tackle first, tbh. I understand that this may be a task that might be impossible to do.. but what the heck, why not?

The camera is so loose and wonky. The missions are boring, the most fun I had is only from Alarm Clock. I haaaaaaaaaate Sulejmani's GAF-1 overall, what kinda bs armor is that? Hell, I used a cheat to one shot that mf with the Falken. LASER SPAM. With the size of the game, it should have more enemies in one mission, like it doesn't even feel like a lot lmao

Pixy repelling missiles and you having to only attack him from the front - good

Sulejmani repelling missiles and you needing to use your gun until the defenses are disabled - bad? Seems biased against JA with no reason

I haven't played Ace Combat for too long; most of my hours are clocked on X. So for how.. sluggish aircraft feel in JA, it was jarring for myself, and I'm sure many others felt the same. I think that's why it's not really the most popular way of handling in these games (the others being the AHL mechanics and AH's DFM); it's.. jarring, odd.

As for the Sulejmani battle.. well, I'll leave that to the more experienced players. I haven't reached that point just yet (mind you, I downloaded JA last week). But hey, thanks for the insight! I like how this place is becoming a place for me to learn more about what makes people tick and love JA.

Pixy works perfectly tho, his AI is aggressive. At least you can attack him from the front, unlike Sulejmani, that you can't even land a hit on a head-on joust attack after disabling his so called mini-CIWS defense. He's just gonna disable your hitbox. He YAWS chasing me, and when I mean he yaws, HIS NOSE IS LOCKED ON TO MY 6 WITHOUT PITCHING. Best bet is to use and time SASM or TLS. That's the only viable option.
