IF (!) you copy something, take the time to give source.


Some people seem to have problems with Spatz.
I fear there's nothing more then to try again and again ...

It's called copyright infringement.... Very bad.... Breaking the law. You might want to read up on this:

Media and Copyright rules

ohh i though it was helping out should i edit in the source, or delete it

If you want to help out, Maybe post a link, don't copy and post something that is covered under copyright laws....

I've updated the first post with ace NO.027 to NO.031, I'll be adding more in a minute, just had to edit the list incase my computer froze or something.

Edit: Warlord, or any other Mod can you edit the title so it reads 169 instead of 168 I made a typo with it. Theirs infact 169 aces, thanks to YPH for clearing that up. Thanks in advance.

That makes me thinkg of ... thanks again for your effort, Leo.

The Belkan War took place 10 years before the Continental War depicted in AC4. You may note that, in the final interview with Pixy, 10 years after the Belkan War, there's an ISAF flag flying outside the window he's in front of.

Actually, I haven't been able to distinguish any number on the Yellow Ace (Rehier?) plane.

And as for Yellow 13 being from Belka? Well, one of us was.....

Dude.
I don't have the game.
Blame NAMCO for the September-release of Zero in Europe.

I didn't relate Yellow 13 with the ace "Yellow" from AC#05. I fear I didn't divided the two thoughts back in my post.

Like this:
IF Yellow 13 was Reiher (if I said), he gets shot down, survivies, moves to Erusia, some other belkan pilots follow him (maybe they could have been hired (offered amnesty?).
10 years later, Yellow 13 dies over Farbanti (most likely), 15 other (self-named?) Yellows try to defend Megalith, fail and the war is over. Maybe some of these pilots (after being captured and being released again, or some even were still on the ground back then) who are belkan in origin, move back the Belka and fly again, this time, for the Grey Men's vision of total war.

That's all. An idea. Nothing more.


I'm okay with that you are the real-life AC-Aquila.
Still, may I add that I find it extremely childish to related yourself too deep with the game's squadron?
But go on. It's your stuff.

So does the info you get when you shoot down hukabein and ashley fit in with the story in ac5 ?, iam just wondering because in ac5 some other pilot in the last mission (cant remember who)says he shot down bartlett for example..

I have bad english reading, please type properly so we can understand.

I got, what he asked.

The pilot you mean, kazuya, is "Ashley", the original Grabacr pilot and leader of the squadron in AC#05.
Actually, NAMCO wanted Ashley to be the one who shot down Pops and Bartlett.

Then they made AC#Z and wanted to let both appear somewhere. But as they are indicated enemies, you as the player can shoot them. And they appear in the kill record, to fill a polt hole (if they hadn't appeared, we would've wonder why).

Note that Grabacr does shoot down Pops, if you don't get him quickly enough (or Pos before him).

This is the first time an Ace Combat is that deeply linked with another, so just bear with it.

[edit:]
777th post. Wow.

Thanks for the info, i always wondered if namco had perhaps changed the story slightly to fit in cyphers involvment with shooting down ashley etc, but i guess not heh..

It is "Cipher" not "Cypher".

I understood the question, let's not be so critical, after all, not everyone here on ACS speaks, or types perfect english.

does anybody here know what ashley's first name is?

Errr... I think you can check it in the AR.
Sorry but I don't have my PS2 with me...

Actually, it is his first name; it's Ashley Bernitz.

ohh....thanks.

That is correct. Its basically the prequel to AC5

It's also linked to AC4. Lokk at some of the Aces and their backgrounds. One actually was one of the developers of Stonehenge and one retired and opened a Hotel in San Salvicon.

Undoubtly true.

I just meant it more in the way, like Zadkiel formulated it, it's quite a prequel.

But with all these pilots the chance was given to relate and link some things, yeah, why not taking thisopportunity?

were is the f-5 in mission 1?

Psst! => "gamefaqs.com"
And there's one based on th ejapanese version on IGN.com, that's the most elaborate so far but I say, Himmelkrieg's FAQs are good.

Plane : F-5E Tiger
Difficulty : Normal
Ace Style : Mercenary

1000th post, yo.

Why did you post this same question in the Spoiler thread???

Thing I hate about the aces in ACZ is that, aside from the Squadrons, some of the same aces appear in every game difficulty, for example, Wolkenwand, the E/A-18 jammer.


I think they should make it much harder, so you have to play every ace style on every difficulty to beat it fully...

I havent used any FAQ help for the Aces so far, i dont plan on doing so.
I am missing some Aces but i will find them as time passes and i play.

Yesterday I used a faq for the remaining 9 aces... Now I'm down to two, which I know where are...

Aces like Wolkenwand have a tactical meaning, making the game harder as the jamming really is annoying. The first time I had to deal with the EA-6B over Excalibur, I was a bit ... enraged.
"$§%§/§%&"/%§"/% JAMMER, GTFO my view!"
Like that.

And, well, for Riese, Beo, Schakal and Bauer I did consult a FAQ. That's the ones I can remember. And there wasn't many I missed ... only those remaining from different Ace Styles on Hard/Expert/Ace and those appearing on Normal only. Less than 30.

i have the stretegy guide and it does not list the 168 aces it just says about the squadrons that you face during the missions

What a fail ... thanks for this information. That should save some people money.

The jammer wasn't too bad for me; a bit of a challenge because I had to watch Excalibur or look outside of my radar screen to discover and judge laser trajectory.

Yea i got every person from that mission with the excalibur

well i got mine for free at game stop because they dont make the guide anymore

I did it in the F-4E. Took me a few tries, but I did it.

There we have it. F-4E. Not THAt fast but did the job. I wonder how people can get problems at all.

The F-4 is supposed to be fast, it was designed as an interceptor in the first place.

I'm sorry to bring you to the light of truth, but: game =|= reality.
So, for these issues, I think in game-dimensions.

Which Ace has the F-1 SP paint scheme? It's the only paintscheme I have left to unlock (still 7 Aces to go), and I can't find it.

EDIT - Nevermind, found it. He's one of the random Aces flying after the Excalibur attacks on 8A. Thanks Fonce...and Green Giant.

Shoot down F-1A Biene in Mission 8A. Normal level.

Yeah, 2 guys appear after the first laser appears and you have to make it back to friendly airspace.

i've gottan all but
27-32
50-53
107
117
124

i always start each AC game on hard for the first run through. then expert and then ace and stay on ace till i get all the solo aces and planes and whatnot.

i didn't realise you have to get some of them on normal.
but now i have one questions.

can you get solo aces via the free missions? or do i have to do it in the campagne?

Pretty sure it's campaign only

Ugh, that would be really obnoxious...

No, you should be able to find them in their respective missions in Free Mission; try the lowest-listed difficulty level if they still don't show up. There seems to be a mission or two where a lower difficulty is necessary to get one particular ace or another to appear(the MiG-21 ace in 14C is one of them, IIRC).

It's always possible that some might only appear in the full campaign mode(I did get a lot of them from campaigns, myself), but I'm not aware of any specifically.

went home last night and found and killed them all. thanks to the faq on this site. now i just need to complete my medels list. i've only got 4 or 5 to go.

Hey can anyone tell me how to get the MiG-31 ace on mission 13 because I can't figure out how to find him.

You have to destroy a certaint amount of MiG-31a and MiG-21s...

Get a plane with good speed, agility and X*AAs. (F-15C works just fine)

Su-37 or Typhoon with XLAA do this finer.

Blast the team of 4 MiG-21's, then head to the cluster ahead (furthest group of targets to the southeast). Take them all out, 3 MiG-31's appear.
Then continue to the northwest and look for planes ... single planes on radar most likely are groups (the thee other planes per group will be spawned when getting closer). Other single planes are aces.

Hunt down all MiG-31's and 21's this way, then the ace should appear. Check the gamefaqs.com faq on this ... my memory might be blurred here.

I had a hard time gettin' Pixy. Takin' 'em head on an' all. He's NO.169.

No hes not?! Just because hes the last ace, because hes the last Enemy in the Last mission. Its not hard to take him down even at Ace as long as you have your gaurd up

*Sigh* 10 aces to go *sigh*
