I love that pic of the KC-10 crashing and the F-16CM somehow surviving the chaos lol.

ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.

The screenshots look like something out of Split/Second. Really goes to show you how far Ace Combat has gone since 1992.

I played that game too. Yeah, kinda hard to believe that you have to drive below a C-5A that is going down in a same fashion as that KC-10. So crazy and heart-pumping

I dunno if I ever asked this, but seeing as tankers are denoted by a "K" (like how transports are denoted by a "C" for Cargo), what does the K stand for? Is it Kerosene since that's what most aircraft run on today and that's what tankers supply?

This might interest you

It is likely that the K derived from Kerosene or TanKer.

Also a quote from another forum

Quote

Most sources indicate under the 1962 designation system which formalized its use, "K" came from "Kerosene Tanker".

However, USAF personnel being trained in the KC-135 inevitably asked their instructors why "K" is used and the apocryphal response emerges: "if you take the word TANKER and consider that every other damned letter was already used (T for trainers, A for Attack, etc) what the f*ck would you do then? Next silly question..."

In that case, whenever you plan to upload these screenshots to Acepedia, I suggest that you first remove the black borders and increase their quality with Photoshop.
