Ace Combat 8 Mission 16

I love the amount of detail they put in the game, so far a lot of the game has been, mwah, chefs kiss! Only thing though, I just tried was in mission 16. I tried blowing up the last two of the three container ships almost simultaneously. Hoping that would stop the drone launch. Unfortunately no such luck. I get it but man, some appreciation or notice of that would have been nice. Oh well, still love it though! They really did a great job with this game!

There is actually some recognition there. Blowing up the cargo ship stops a second wave of drones from coming out of the ship, which is a big time and sanity save.

If you just leave the ship alone, it has more drones after the first wave.

You also get the points for all the drones in the cargo too which is awesome

I didn't know that! I always just blow it up when it pops up. I don't like leaving stragglers! But at least I know that it was a good thing a fed rex an extra treat that mission lmao!

AC8 Mission 16 Spoilers -> There is a line that plays where they say you did great but then they notice drones are launching from the sinking ship.

When you sink the last ship before it launches, the surviving terrorists decide to go down with the ship and launch as it sinks.
