DarkStar vs. Fleet Destruction – Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown x Top Gun: Maverick DLC



The collaboration DLC between AC7 and Top Gun: Maverick is here. Out of the 6 aircraft added to the roster, the DarkStar is the only one that is not based on a variant of a pre-existing fighter. It is also absurdly fast, with an unboosted top speed of over 5000 km/h (in a game where most planes struggle to make it past 3000 km/h), and boasts PLSL both as a Sp.W and as its main gun. The only downsides to this original plane are perhaps the slightly clumsy maneuvrability and inability to perform PSM.

This is an unoptimized playthrough of Mission 11, though with a little bit more care, I could hit over 100,000 score with this setup.

Keiki Kobayashi was in charge of the remixes that you can hear in multiplayer. For the the Danger Zone re-arrange, you can even hear a bit of Fire Youngman. Read his tweet here:

  1. It’s one of the best games made period I have a crappy tv I’m not rich dude the replays look like high def movies!!!! I re downloaded this I have a very impressive fleet and I’ve been delivering pure hell and carnage to the enemy. Currently still going thru my weapons to get a feel of the things again. Not a multiplayer guy I have one dlc mission and those story missions are all I need!!

  3. I love all the jets in this game but with boring missions compared to any other game in the series. Even Project Wingman puts this to shame.

    Every time I miss the planes I reinstall the game, start the mission, and minutes later zzzzzzzzz I remember all the replayability is gone. DLC separate missions need to be integrated in the storyline.

    I’m at least happy to know they’re working on a new phone. Hopefully with more of our favorite jets (F117!) even cooler if we had more bombers since the Dark Star made it in. I’m fine with a B2 shooting sidewinders, as long as I get to fly the B2. Even the B1.

    The new game should come with a better campaign and design. I just missed the old style because it could be replayed over and over again without feeling like a snooze fest.

    Project Wingman is better in every aspect but, not better than the ace games of old. Choosing high alpha maneuvers over flares that are unlimited but lots of sams is a blast and even with flares there is real regular use for it. Ace combat has 800 missiles to a plane but 2 flares.

    I still love both games and Ace Combat was fun maybe 2 play throughs but be excited a new one is coming!

  4. That is clutch the SR-71 Blackbird 90,000 ft fighter jet that can go into outer space and not be detected by enemy radar really good for spying on people from a long range out start mining your opponents for all their data on their phones and shit with this jet no More Mr Nice Guy
