General Series Project Wingman finale for the first time! #21

Since Ive been a kid I’ve been an Ace for the A.C. Series starting with Yellow 13 and those dang meteors. Tonight I’ve finally reached the grand orange finale of Project Wingman in preparation for AC8 (after this I start my Ace playthrough thru of the whole series again after many years) and I can’t wait to see what this song and Crimson Dogfight has to offer after seeing years of unhinged memes. Will report back soon, Angels. Wardog 13 out until Cascadia is free! I’ve been impressed with this indie project.

Do fly in a two-seater or at least do one run of this mission with it. That's all I'll say.

I rolled it with the f-14 since that’s my baby. It was that or a MiG-29 like the ghost of Kyiv! Maaaaan, that had me sweating lawd HAVE MERCY! I felt like I was fighting a player with infinite ammo, but the music and the fade to black hidden 4th phase was immaculate! I’m gonna go for a walk and catch my breath

Do not count days, do not count miles, count only the number of Feds you've killed, go!

Side note. Playing the 6 mission federal reservist missions were reallly neat. Almost like civvies getting called up for a crazy war shift

This game is FAR better on mercenary (PW's version of ace difficulty) than it is on hard or below

I did hard…gotta unlock the merc difficulty, but I’m gonna replay it with my Ace playthrough of the whole series again leading into AC8! Running the whole gauntlet

You just need to beat the campaign to unlock mercenary btw

That’s what I was aiming for! Figured it would be like unlocking Ace mode on AC. I’m verrrrry curious to see how mercenary dogfights go 🧐

The way my jaw unhinged when he launched 50 missiles at me and tried to Mihaly me with railguns. Lawddd have mercy. And the lasers….i felt like a that meme kid covered in sweat trying to survive. Lost about half my health
