Story intro
Like the rest of the Ace Combat series, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown forgoes a realistic flight model in favor of faster, arcade-like gameplay to increase its accessibility to newer players. Players complete missions by destroying various air and surface targets. A mission briefing details the player's expected route of attack and the enemy opposition in a 3D map display. The player can also choose Novice or Expert control settings; the latter enables the player to execute realistic aircraft maneuvers such as rolls and high-g turns. Wingmen accompany the player through the mission, providing exposition and potentially shooting down enemy planes for the player. The game features 28 different aircraft, with an additional three as downloadable content and the F-4E Phantom II offered as a pre-order bonus. As with previous entries in the series, most of the aircraft are licensed from the real-world, although a set of fictional superplanes are also included. Several aircraft in the game make their series debut such as various members of the Su-30 family as well as upgraded versions of older aircraft like the Gripen E and A-10C Thunderbolt II. Over the course of the single-player campaign, the player earns an in-game currency, known as "MRP," to purchase additional aircraft and equipment through a tech tree. The player begins the game with the F-16C, and is able to unlock the MiG-21 and F-104 Starfighter after the fourth mission without need of using MRP, with the F-22A Raptor, Su-57 and the fictional X-02S Strike Wyvern as top-tier aircraft in the tech tree. Each aircraft is equipped with standard missiles for both air-to-air and air-to-ground warfare, as well as another special weapon. Special weapons are used to boost an aircraft's ability to carry out air-to-air or air-to-ground attacks. Equipment purchased may also be used to boost the performance of the aircraft beyond its base performance, such as improved engine parts or airframe parts to enhance its speed and survivability respectively. Only eight upgrades may be applied at any time, and certain upgrades are only usable in single-player modes. Aircraft also can have skins applied to them, of which most have to be unlocked by completing certain actions in-game. At times, players may choose to engage in additional minigames, such as mid-air refueling or landing on an aircraft carrier. These minigames can be skipped, but confer additional points to players.
