Most likely the only mission you should spawn the ACE for anyway.

Mission 17 Homeward - Consistent and Easy 25 Second Dialogue Skip

(Made this for a Casual NG+ any% run, haven’t tested what’s different for Ace or S Rank)

The Strat detailed in the attached video saved me about 35 seconds but the time saved varies from player to player. Basically, i was failing to replicate Michin11’s time in mission 17 of his NG+ WR, no matter how fast i took out/ID’d all the islands targets, i would still be left waiting sometimes up to a minute and a half for the mission’s dialogue to finish and finally give me the “All Targets Destroyed” line and spawn the bombers. This pissed me off so i spent 4 days trying to understand how the mission’s dialogue works, figuring out which actions triggered what dialogue and if any could be skipped.

The longest block of triggered dialogue in this phase of the mission is 25 seconds long. I learned that the “all targets destroyed” line triggered by killing or ID’ing all the unknown targets will replace another line of triggered dialogue if the last target dealt with was supposed to trigger its own line of dialogue. That 25 second block of dialogue is triggered by ID’ing a particular pair of allies. So by skipping those allies and circling back to ID them after every other target is dealt with, the “all targets destroyed” line will override the 25 second block of triggered dialogue. It’s consistent, and pretty easy in the right plane/part set up. I used MiG 31 LAAM, all four speed parts, faster reloads and greater distance on both standard and special missiles. I know of at least one other instance of “dialogue management” I've used to get a faster time in another level, i think this is a fairly untapped category of time saves. Im going to keep looking for more skips like this in other levels. Hope this helps ✌️ -Denim_ak-

NOTE: I forgot to mark the first 4 trucks but since they are obviously at plain sight they shouldn't be a problem
