In the meantime, I'm going to bed. I'll see your sheet and confirm it or not tomorrow morning, or afternoon.

for some reason, Ace Combat uses anglophone army ranks, instead of air force ones


Blame the Namdai translators for aping the fact that the US Military uses the same rank titles for officers everywhere except the Navy and Coast Guard.

Actually, I found out just a few minutes ago from a friend who looked over the RP that it's not the army ranks, but they actually use the JASDF ranks. I'll fix the CS right now, before finally sleeping.

This CS is not yet approved.



Questions remaining:
1. Could you explain the difference between nationality, affiliation, and allegiance in better detail? Examples, although not necessary, would be appreciated.
2. The RP starts in 2021, right? Otherwise, DoB will be adjusted accordingly.
3. Could there be defections once the RP takes off?
(sorry for adding a fourth, but the answer provides me a follow-up question)
4. Does "same side" mean "on the same country/ military alliance" or does that merely mean "at peace"?

Nationality: Wellow

Affiliation: Mercenary working for Osea.

Assignment: 46th Air Force Unit "Houndstooth"

Allegiance: Osea

Rank: Captain

1.Here's an example from a roleplay I did a few weeks ago on another forum. Here, this is a mercenary pilot, but she works for Osea. Thus, her affiliation is loosely with Osea, and her allegiance is currently with Osea (since she's not an exchange soldier or something like that), but she is still from Wellow. Allegiance is more to the country, affiliation to the military itself.

2.Yes, the RP starts in early 2021, only a few months after the end of the Leasath-Aurelia War in December 2020.

3.There's a rule about this. Please see to reading it. Rule 13 I believe.

Allegiance: Natasha has dual citizenship in Erusea and Yuktobania. While her need to fly is satisfied in Yuktobania and her legal allegiance is with both nations, her personal allegiance lies with Erusea.

So in which country is Kvant Squadron, exactly? AFAIK it's Yuktobania, but....

If you wish. Little rule I forgot to mention (will add to rules after I get some sleep); all planes with 20mm cannons get 600 bullets in true Ace Combat spirit, 25mm 500 and 30mm and over get 400-300. And as an intermediate between the crazy amounts of missiles in AC and realistic numbers, you carry 25 normal missiles and four maximum "special weapons". I know it's not very realistic, and it might get on some people's nerves (not targeting anyone by saying this), but this an Ace Combat RP after all.


Might I make a suggestion?


During the Aurelia-Leasath war, many new technologies found their way onto the battlefield. As one of many continuous conflicts across the globe that had seen an increasing focus on airpower during a conflict, and the fielding of increasing numbers of aircraft, along with a rapid rise in advanced electronic and propulsion technologies, the very real need for aircraft to carry an increased amount of firepower was felt.
As a result of this, a crash-program was commenced to develop a new type of missile that would be physically smaller and weigh considerably less, but pack the same - or at least, a comparable - amount of destructive power into a smaller physical shell, and also be capable against both surface and aerial targets.
The program was named akin to the Small Diameter Bomb, and took the name SDM - Small Diameter Missile.
Using components from the Stinger AAM, Javelin ATGM and the Hydra series of rockets kept development costs low, and allowed for rapid mass-production of the technology. The technology was quickly adapted for export, and the self-contained tracking-and-guidance systems meant that the SDM could be integrated readily with a wide variety of aircraft for little cost and time.
Taking over as the primary missile system on most aircraft in a short time, the SDM complements rather than replaces existing systems, relegating 'traditional' missiles to more 'special weapon' roles. Most aircraft can carry up five or more 5-tube 'packs' of SDMs, with some able to carry even more.


Makes it sound a bit more realistic, and grounds it in something. And it doesn't sound out of place with the Ace Combat universe either, if you ground it in several decades of continuous warfare!

My character is inbound shortly :)

Kvant Squadron (эскадрилья "Квант", Quantum Squadron)- The largest known Yuktobanian squadron seen in the Circum-Pacific War, they fought alongside the Demons of Razgriz and the Osean forces at the climax of the conflict. Named after the Kvant-1 and Kvant-2 modules of the Mir space station.

Driving Park, your CS is pretty good. Definitely well thought through, you're accepted. Same goes for Silver. I'll put both of them in the OP. Mage, please see to working out things about Kvant with DP, because at the moment it doesn't make too much sense (no offense meant).
Regarding your suggestion, Silver, I'll also use that. Thanks!

As nautilusmp, Lost Cause and the acepedia said, Kvant is a Yuke squadron. I'm happy to accept a Number Two if you are so inclined, Mage, but if you want to be in the Emmerian Air Force I'd imagine you'll have to pick an Emmerian squadron or switch your country to Yuktobania.

Also, my birthday is December 6th too! :D

When I have a son (or daughter), I will force him to be born on September 19th, so I can call him Sky Eye.

Working on my own character, but I'm also thinking of putting a new mechanic into the RP. If any of you have played Ace Combat Zero, you'll be very familiar with it... ;3
