found a small model of the Dark Star aircraft several months back, in a Price Cutters store. made by Matchbox Sky Busters, it looks almost exactly the same as the one shown in this video, except it has a grey pattern that starts from the back of the cockpit, and ends past the fins at the back of it. it even says "Top Gun: Maverick" on the box itself, it's a cool looking plane.
I think the new meta will be the F-18E TGM. It's got HCAA, one of the best weapons in the game, on a full-PSM plane that has better stats than the Su-35S. It also has HVAA in case you want to go bvr as icing on the cake. It is a superplane in disguise.
I'm not sure if you noticed ACF, but the design for the Dark Star actually seems to bear a slight resemblance to an updated version of Testors' "F-19" model kit, a design they created themselves based on rumors of the F-19 fighter project (which wound up being nothing, but the F-117 that came later was of a similar suspected role).
I think you'd find a far closer resemblance to the concept art of the SR-72 from Lockheed. In fact Lockheed's skunk works team helped design the Darkstar.
@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 I believe that this was based off of the SRR-71 black bird.

@@DemonOfTheSkies It takes some of its aesthetic from the Blackbirds but the shape of the aircraft is unmistakably that of the SR-72. The differences are the twin vertical stabilizer configuration and the design of the rear of the plane.

You're pretty cool in my book for putting a spoiler warning on the thumbnail, wish more people were that considerate of others. Just wish we had gotten an ASTOL-MB93 when they did that Godzilla cross promotion with Ace Combat: Infinity, they could have reskinned the lasers to look like masers. This is the first time they included aircraft from other franchises in their cross promotions, hopefully it won't be their last and if they ever do another Godzilla cross promotions hopefully they'll include aircraft from that.
There is a story I wish to tell. There was a diecast around the 80's of a jet that I knew nothing about. Looked like a stealth fighter from this day and age. Black, the vertical stabilizers were angled closer to one another. Similar to this, but rounded in the back, and worked it's way forward to a point. I knew nothing of it at the time. I assumed it was a fighter jet that was planned to be made, but nothing came of it. If anyone knows, please tell me about it.
F-19? There were some unofficial models made from various reports of a black project fighter jet that the USAF was working on at the time. The actual project likely was a F-117 Nighthawk, which looks nothing like the model

I was originally curious about how this thing would hold up against Hugin and Munin, until it dawned on me that it’s probably a bad idea, given it’s immense speed. You’d probably go cooking right past Hugin or Munin. Sure, it’s got speed by the truckload over the two drones, but those drones are far more agile and maneuverable. Build up speed and you’d probably just go flying by them, then have to turn around and repeat constantly.
One question @Ace Combat Fan. Do the MG upgrade parts affect the integrated PLSL like the Raven and Darkstar? Or to upgrade it you have to equip PLSL-TSL upgrade parts like occurs with PLSL pods?
It's not actually a fighter in the film but is a fictional hypersonic aircraft based on (to the point it was designed in conjunction with Skunk Works engineers) the non-classified concept art and performance expectations of the SR-72

Funny you should said that, since the pack also includes a new skin for the SU-57, but on Steam at least, they only refer to it as "5th Generation Fighter" and refuse to call it by name. I guess they are trying hard to downplay anything Russian right now
