Gelb - Su-37 - Pretty agile, can fire their QAAM's behind them. Espada - J35J & Rafale M - Very fast. Indigo - Gripen C - No trait or characteristic that I could notice. Silber - F-4E & F-16C - They fly somewhat in formation, after you shoot down the Phantom, they fly a lot more aggressively. Wizard - F-16XL & YF-23A - They first attack you in F16-XL's, and later send the stealth planes. Grun - F/A-18C - Very defensive, will try to evade a lot, only planes that have flares. Schnee - F-14D & EA-18G - Have a jammer plane, try to shoot from long range, very weak when you get close. Gault - Su-47 - Flying in formation almost all the time, they go at you all at once. Rot - Typhoon - Pretty aggressive. Schwarze - MiG-31 - Lot of planes for mid-game fight, but apart numbers they aren't that tough. Sorcerer - F-15/S MTD - They go at you in pairs.
if i remember well, Schwarze always aim to encircle and get you sorta against the wall when engaging at you, sometimes forcing you to run, Since Foxhounds aren't that agile, you can try low-speed maneuvers against them, but you may die due to their numbers. also, idk if its just me, every time i am using the F22, i always do a spin to get the missile i am launching facing the enemy on exist for more accuracy
I'm actually genuinely surprised PJ shot down one of them I was generally under the impression that TGT enemies were invulnerable from fatal damage from NPCs.
PS2 ace combat games have their friendly NPC, enemy NPC and Named NPC work all the same, except that named NPC such as PJ and Pixy will be less likely to be targeted by the enemy, they do shoot down enemy planes even TGT, but the conditions for that are still a mystery. In AC4 the friendly ones are more likely to get shot down rather than shooting down, even when they are on a numerical advantage. In AC5, the regular F-NPC is on par with the E-NPC, depending on the mission, they can be more aggressive or more deffensive, Wingman tough, its pretty rare to see them destroying targets, you will usually hear them saying they're picking on a target, and soon after they will shoot, I'd say its a 40% chance to hit, I've counted so far in my campaigns in AC5, 5 kills on Nagase, 3 on chopper, 5 on the rookie and 4 on swordsman. Its unlikely but possible. As for PS1 ace Combat games, they work more close to AC7 in this regard, wingman and F-NPC will rarely almost never, be seen shooting down an enemy, rendering you as the only capable force on the game. Although, there is a Mission on AC3 where you compete most kills with your wingman, and some instances yet in AC3 where your wingman do be dependable, AC2 they work more as a relief so not all the enemy comes after you, while on AC1 they'll just go after their own targets, so that will require more observation

You would likely be deadlier and faster in cockpit view mode. There are so many maneuvers you miss the enemy doing because your F-22 is obscuring their plane.
@@atigerclaw your logic makes zero sense, you'll see every maneuver of an opposing aircraft regardless what view you're in... it's not like you're engaging dogfights from 1000s of feet away... you can zoom in more for cockpit view but that's still obscuring the view from the rear which is far more vulnerable... the full plane view isn't just for content, it's simply the best to use
@@rolo2sexy820 Actually, you DON'T see every maneuver. You see the AFTERMATH of the maneuver. Because when you're staring at the belly of the F-22, with only the dotted outline of the target box, you don't see the enemy aircraft itself perform the roll reversal and see that he's about to change direction until the box starts to move. By the time that happens, you're response is lagging by about two seconds. When you see him flip his plane, you have a chance to flip your plane to reverse direction at the same time so that you can meet him in the turn. _And kill him FASTER._
When I first saw the Gelb squadron, I was nervous since Sukhoi's are extremely manuevrable until I shot them down at ease with 4 missiles only. Took me only around 2 minutes.
This was really cool to learn about! I was born in ‘97 so I grew up more in the post 9/11 world but saw artifacts of this era all around me with no explanation
The camera pan and zoom to the Schwarze squadron makes me believe that any of the survivors became a part of the 8492nd, and later Grabacr. Fun fact, you can shoot down Pops and save Heartbreak One, basically removes them from actually meeting and potentially altering the events of AC5.
@@bigdoggo5827 I'd agree here, not to mention that afaik, the canon of ACZ is intentionally left vague as to sidestep continuity issues and the three Ace Styles.
Idk, all I can pick from playing different ace routes starting from knight, soldier and mercenary. My theory is the mercenary route is canon. Even though you can encounter grabbacr and ofnir in the soldier route, mercenary is the only route that is canon to the storyline.
Nah. You can actually find and shoot Grabacr down during mission while dealing with Schwarz team. Grabacr is in a Su-47. On another note, you can find and shoot down Ofnir (F-15 S/MTD) while fighting Schnee team on the soldier route.
Its not almost impossible, just pretty hard, but with practice, you can kill enemy aces using just a gun.. Btw, what do you expect? The enemy is trying to save his life and finish yours, so he wont make it easy for your.. that is war kid "boards dont hit back". Bruce Lee
If anything, AC5, Z, and (to the point of being egregious imo) 6 had really high damage guns. With half decent maneuvering and good shot placement, even missions known for being huge clusterfucks can be done with guns only (8492, Journey Home are two examples). Hell, there's one old, old, TH-camr who went by Tomcat171 (I think)/omglolwtf66 (also from memory) who's beaten 8492 on Ace with guns only in a Tigershark.
Schwarze is the coolest if you pay attention to whats happening in their intro too. The plane that flys past Galm 1 and 2 is an enemy thats trying to defect and abandon his mission. Schwarze squadrons job is to hunt down anyone that defects and wants to leave with one of their planes. Thats why when they notice Galm 1 and 2 they get excited and say they will "deal with the escaped craft later" Schwarze squadron are like enforcers.
