User blog:NineZeroZeroOne/Ace Combat Infinity - Multiplayer Primer (Tokyo Liberation)

Tokyo Liberation: On Tokyo Liberation, the two main battlefronts are the main air and naval forces out over the south bay, and the ground/air force over the north city downtown. A good distribution of pilots is two per front.

Distribution of Roles: -Air Superiority over the North City: Fly a fast fighter with 4AAMs. This fighter needs to be able to reach the north quickly, as the Rafale Ms are prime targets worth 1000 points each and tend to get focused down pretty swiftly.

-Air Superiority over the South Bay: Fly a fighter with 4AAMs. Focus fire the F-14s and MiG-29s first, as they’re worth the most.

-Air to Ground over the North City: This plane should be fast for its type. An A-10 with a top speed and acceleration boost equipped is optimal. Try to focus down the SP targets first, those being the HEVY Artillery by the taller buildings.

-Air to Ground over the South Bay: Speed is a little less important here than the A2G over the north, and as such you can dedicate body equipments to other things if you like. The most important targets are the Frigate and Corvette in the harbor, worth 1800 and 850 points respectively. Destroy these first!

Once you’ve finished with the targets in your role, assist the other person in the same sector. Air targets tend to be eliminated first, so work your way over to the ground targets.

On Tokyo Liberation, there is a second set of enemies that only show up once all others are dealt with. They appear in the north city by the stadium. Once the south-bay planes have finished up with their targets, they should head up to the north to assist.

If you perform your role well, you should never see a blue triangle targeting the same target as you!

Regroup for the Emergency Mission Update. If it’s an Air to Ground EMU, the faster fighters should fly ahead and let the A2G planes attack the northern targets (since they’ve now made their way to the north to handle the extra targets and will have to fly back). Fly to the back and destroy those first.

Afterwards, the A2G planes should focus on the SP ground targets, and the AS planes should focus on the Raptors and MiGs.

And that’s it! Good game!
