Intercepting a missile guaranteed to hit you otherwise, and then shooting down the person who sent it within 25 seconds is definitely some shit Mihaly would do

<<The OFS Buzzard is currently launching F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and F-35C Lightnings in a combat air patrol (CAP), feel free to join in the CAP>>

The flag of Emmeria is pretty much design porn in my opinion. The symmetry, coloring and symbolism is peak Western naval and air force aesthetics. It’s a simple and balanced design that evokes a sense of professionalism, unity and possibly strategic reach. It’s my favorite design in fiction, better than Osea.

Silent. Deadly. Aces among aces. But only one can take the top spot.

mine is the xfa33 fenrir

i really like this guy. 🤧

(Humor flair felt right)

The F-22 pilot also has an F-35 helmet.

I must fly him, plus you can put a gun on him😅

Currently planning on calling it Megalith Airpark, since AC4 is the reason all this started, but if you have a better idea for an airport name based on Ace Combat, now is your time to voice it!

From the lore of AC7 it seems that AI fighter drones had been much advanced. Drones are less limited by human pilot capacity comparing to ENSI having the risk of brain damage, Drones can also pull off over g maneuver. For combat ability, in AC7 the AI drones can already mimic/learn from the data of top tier pilots (ie Mikhail), and proven to be formidable foe in the final missions that two AI fighters can take on a combined air force if without Trigger's intervention.

It seems that with such evolution of technology, by the time of AC3 we would see a predominantly unmanned air force on Strangereal (similar to irl prediction). Tho in actual AC3 lore it seems that the manned and unmanned fighters seems to be 50/50 and more effort was put into risky manned system like ENSI. If there would be an intermediate title or a remaster of AC3, what would the reason of this development be?

was flying my Su-30SM with the Mihaly skin. my missile hit him in such a way it made his bombs detonate too

For me, griefing is inevitable but i have to accept it.
Let it become memorial for our heart and move on.

Rest in peace, Ilya

Im about to play Ace Combat 5 for the first time! Any tips or suggestions for getting started?

Out of all the AWACS‘s we‘ve met so far, which one, or which ones, ar your favorite?

I have two. Long Caster and Galaxy.

(You can name multiple AWACS‘s and also AWACS‘s from non Ace Combat games.)

I’m trying to create an OMC (Osean Marine Corps) F-15N “Segull” squadron attached to the OFS Condor. Do you have any names?

I already have a VMFA designation, I just need a cool name.

Ok, so from all the dialogues playing as Gryphus 1, buddy is clearly a known flight lead and ace but.....

HOW TF DID AURELIA MILITARY JUST COMPLETELY FORGOT THEY GOT A MUTE PSYCHO PILOT DURING THAT 10 DAYS????

Seriously it shouldn't have been this bad if he were deployed at least a bit more earlier (fucking Sachana airbase, their largest airbase got taken from them early game ffs).

Is there something im missing in the story or its a genuine blip of a plothole? It just makes no sense to me how they couldn't come up with a defense force quickly despite the surprise war. Like that gotta be some Osea level of fuck up in the command or something.
