Okay, is it just me, or are the random, unnamed Tornadoes on _this_ mission the best dogfighters in the Ace Combat series? Hear me out: Pretty much all "good" ace pilots in all the games have some special gimmick to make them more challenging: Grun Team had flares in AC: Zero, Yellow Squadron had the Cobra maneuver in 4, Mr. X had...well...ridiculous plot armor in 7. Some were just fancy named opponents: Grabacr in AC 5 was a pushover, Schwarze in Zero basically just had numbers, and Strigon Team in 6 was just vaguely more annoying to shoot at. But these goddamn Tornadoes man. I've taken middling planes like the F-14 and F-15 on this mission, and I've gotten into serious, prolonged turning engagements with these Tornadoes for no well-explained reason. They turn into you PERFECLY. They match your maneuvers EVERY TIME. I don't know if it's the game trying to model the variable wings on the Tornado itself. I don't know if the AI is bumped up for this mission because there aren't many enemy planes. If you get into a turning engagement with them, without being in a super-maneuverable jet like a Su-37 or F-22, it takes A LOT to shoot them down.
Yeah, Tornadoes and Mirages in AC4 have that really annoying habit of turning and maneuvering more than any other generic enemy pilot. Best way to take them down (aside from special weapon spam) are baiting a head on pass or going for a gun kill. Trying a conventional dogfight against them wastes too much time
@@MobiusLeader007 Huh. Never noticed the Mirages doing anything similar in this game. Is there a particular mission where they are prevalent? It just strikes me as odd that there is such a sudden difficulty spike for these enemies in particular. But hey, to be fair, dogfighting these Tornadoes is my favorite part of this mission haha 😅
I'm quite late here, but a surprisingly big portion of Iran is mountainous instead of just flat desert. This is more Iraq and desert storm territory here lol

Old days play this mission with su-35 😢
Stinky poop Dookey
Man I remember doing this mission in an a10
I wonder why you left the HQ area untouched
That was a part I always had to visit and destroy
It is very weird. They definitely avoided it.
