Ace combat 7: Skies Unknown has just released this week, giving players the chance to get in the air to battle enemy on the ground and in the air. The game comes with a myriad of real world aircrafts from the air forces of many different countries that you can choose from.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Best Aircrafts Guide

Below we will list the three basic groups in which the aircrafts are divided in the game. then we will highlight what is the best aircraft that you should choose depending on the requirement of the mission.

Aircraft Types

In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, there are basically three different group types of aircrafts. These three groups can also be differentiated with the different color they have. The three basic group are:

  • Fighter Aircraft (Blue)
  • Attacker Aircraft (Red)
  • Multi-role Aircraft (Pink)

Fighter planes are fast and highly maneuverable in the game. they require the fast movement to dodge an incoming attack, and to keep the pressure up in a dogfight with an enemy. This comes at a cost that they are light weight and that they are only good for aerial combat and destroying enemy planes in the air (though they can sometime attack ground targets).

Attacker planes are slower than the other two groups of aircrafts, but are well armored and can carry specialized missiles with them. They are best for ground attack as their missiles are standard and only destroy objects on the ground.

Multi-Role aircrafts sit right in the middle of the other two groups. They offer a little of what Attacker planes offer, and some of what the Fighter Planes offer. These aircrafts have the option of choosing additional weaponry if you have to target ground based objects as well.

Aircraft Statistics

Every aircraft in the game has its specifications detailed in the game. there are basically 6 categories that define an aircraft:

  • Defense
  • Mobility
  • Speed
  • Air to ground
  • Air to air

Aircraft Upgrades

There are several options you have in the game that allows you to fill empty slots to further increase a specific performance of the aircraft. The parts that you can put on the aircraft are Body, Arms and Misc.

Airplanes come with a limited slot numbers that allow you to put you choice of object on your aircraft. Before you go out on a mission, it is best to understand what you are getting into, and what item can help you survive the battle, or have the upper hand over the enemy.

There are fuselage parts that improve maneuverability and speed of your aircraft, the arsenal affects the range and effectiveness of your weapon and missiles, while other attribute like stealth reduces the chances of your plane to get into enemy radar.

Best Fighter Planes

When you first start with Ace Combat 7, its best to take the plane that gives you the most with what you can purchase. Generally, the more expensive the aircraft, the better features and abilities it has for you.

Before you waste all the money on an expensive one, we suggest going for a reasonable purchase and paying attention to the special weapon of each machine. The best fighter planes you can have are the F-16C and the Mig-29.

Both these planes not only have proven in the real-world by being the best in this category, but they also follow suit in the game. A third option you can choose is the Eurofighter Typhon which has the capability to destroy as many as 8 ground targets at the same time. In combat, its best to have weaponry that can target multiple targets at the same time to achieve the best results.

Best Attacker Planes

There are not so many attacker type aircrafts in the game. nonetheless, the best attacker planes at your disposal are the Su-34 and the A-10. These aircrafts are best to carry specialized weapons for missions that require you to target a large area, or multiple cluster of targets on the ground.

Attacker planes are not so good with speed and maneuverability that may be a problem if you have enemy aircrafts incoming.

Best Multi-role Planes

The best multi-role planes that you can get from the rest, are the F-35C or if you are low on money to buy parts, you can choose the Swedish Gripen E.

The F-35C has a special weapon that can destroy 4 enemies aircrafts in the air, and 8 targets on the ground at the same time. All this comes with great performance, but at the cost of buying many parts.

This is where you can go for the Swedish Gripen E that offers long-range Cruise missiles or the ability to attack four enemy planes at once.
