So Mihaly taught yellow 13 in arriving on the most important battles in a late fashion ?

[@thatguygooders4370]

Seems that way, especially with Mihaly's track record throughout AC7's story

@Mentlegen Makes sense, he's an aristocrat.

[@Mmmmmmbop]

Allow me to go on a tangent that is mildly related to this: So, Mobius 1 became a part of the IUN peacekeeeping force post AC4, and fought against Free Erusia twice, in AC5 arcade and AC7 VR. In the VR missions, I think, Omega 11 references that Mobius is "old" or "older", so we can assume he's a getting close to retirement at around the time of the VR missions. Perhaps following the campaign, he decides to take it easy, and become a flight instructor for the IUN. Flash forward 5 years to the Lighthouse war (AC7), and we're introduced to Trigger, the newest member of the IUN-PKF Mage Squadron. Trigger, in his very first engagement, easily downs a whole squadron of bombers and their escorts almost single handedly, and obviously goes on to become the top Ace of the war. Head canon: Much like Mihaly trained Yellow 13, Mobius 1 trained Trigger. To take it a step further, I wonder if he trained him one on one.

[@ShinGetsu857]

That's... actually a very good theory.

[@jamesharris4695]

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

@@jamesharris4695 What evidence do you have for that? Mobius 1 and Trigger both served as part of the IUN Peacekeeping force, and they both end up flying the F-22 as their canon Aircraft. This is another similarity to the relationship between Mihaly and Yellow 13. They both flew advanced canard-equipped Flankers in a 5-ship formation. There's nothing that ties Blaze and Trigger together besides service in the Osean Air Force. Yet Blaze obviously didn't fight for Osea for the entirety of AC5. On top of that we don't know if Blaze even returned to the military. There's just not enough there to connect him to Trigger. Meanwhile, it's entirely possible and even likely that Mobius 1 and Trigger have met. They serve the same organization. They operate in the same theater of war. Their ages line up well enough. They even fly the same aircraft.

[@thatsundaydriver2399]

I actually support this theory. It’s said in AC7 that he was the top ace from two wars ago. If you only count the Usean continent, that means two wars ago would be the events of AC2. Who was the top ace? Scarface 1. Plus he literally has a scar on his face. And it doesn’t take away from any of the other facts that we now know about him either, because even though they say his last combat mission was in 1991, Scarface 1 was a mercenary. Meaning that records of his time as a merc are probably not readily available. Headcannon: Mihaly is Scarface 1.

[@calamitousenigma9052]

@@thatsundaydriver2399 and Scarface fought Z.O.E. and then Mihaly ended up working for Grunder to improve Z.O.E. aircraft such as the ADF-11. Coincidence? I think not.

SO, if Mihaly was 13's instructor, and we can assume that Mihaly had an equal, if not greater, skill level than 13, and Trigger managed to shoot down not only Mihaly, but drones equipped with AI based on his skills... ...could we assume that Trigger is as good, if not greater, than that of Mobius 1?

[@LtCWest]

Who knows, maybe like 13 to Mihaly, Trigger trained under Mobius 1 ^^

[@SuperGeronimo999]

He may have trained "Y13", but at this time "Y13" was young and hasn't reached his full potential yet. Means, when we fought him, maybe he'd been equal to Mihaly. Meanwhile in AC7, Mihaly's body and skills detoriated... "Y13" could easily have been better or just as good. Wouldn't be the first time the student beats the mentor.

[@warwolf3005]

Well since player character ace always canonically defeats his nemesis, Mobius 1 ; Blaze ; Cipher ; Garuda 1 ; Trigger ; Gryphus 1 are all better then Mihaly

[@Krescentwolf]

It's less of a power-level problem and more of a tier problem. Main character Aces > Enemy Aces. That's just how the story works. It makes it hard to measure how an enemy ace of one generation might measure up to an enemy ace of another generation. That said, the Belkan scientist did point out that Mihaly was STILL evolving his skills, even at his age.

[@NothingXemnas]

Sometimes you compare an ace by who he kills. Other times by how many. In that regard, Cypher is generally accepted as Ace Combat's best for canonically taking down at least 5 ace squadrons and more than 10 in gameplay. However, Mobius 1 is also recognized as the strongest for taking down the Yellow Squadron, which alone was extremely powerful. More than that, his bomber skills are by far the best, from the number of ground targets destroyed. This is all opinion, though. Since they never canonically fought each other in skill competitions, we have no way to know.

I love hidden meanings in the mission. You attack Shilage castle taking out their army, eventually sieging the castle, so the kings guard (Sol squadron) takes off to defend the keep. But they start to notice that they are loosing, so the king himself arrives to defend his keep, sacrificing himself for others.

[@Kurayami_13]

Not really. You lay waste to his domain, killing civilians in the process and while everyone trying to defend them, the only thing Mihaly cares is killing Trigger. Not leading Sol squadron, not his kingdom - only being up in the skies with opponent pushing him beyond his limits. Skies and battles are the only things he cares about.

That, and actually using the post-stall moves Project Aces was so excited to show off that otherwise are not needed to play the game at all.

[@sgtwardaddy9889]

Originally I had a theory that Mihaly was actually Galm 1. Because if you think about it, they said he was the top Ace from two wars before, which would mean The Belkan War. The reason I think this is: •During the Belkan War, Galm 1 and Pixy have a final joust, signifying the fact that they are the last knights of the round table. •During the final battle with Mihaly, it's almost reminiscent of the joust between Pixy and Galm 1, head on fight with the EML. •Galm 1 completely disappeared after the end of the war. And there are mentions to the Belkan War, like the seven nukes on Belkan soil. •During the final battle with Mihaly, Sol Squadron (the knights) take off to defend the castle and Mihaly (the King), but after heavy losses, Mihaly comes in to defend his knights, and sacrifices himself for them to live. It's kinda retelling the story of the final battle at Avalon Dam. (Kind of a late night tired, me and friend got talking theory.) •(This one being a bit of a unofficial theory), if the ADFX-01 Morgan is actually one of the DLC jets, it could of meant his past is finally coming to back to see him, being, Pixy seeing Galm 1 again like he said "thanks friend, see you again". •Another thing that kinda helps support this is his age. Let's say during Zero, he was 34, about the max age of being a pilot. Now you add in the 15 year inter war period that leads to the events of 5, he's now 49. Now you add in the 9 year space between 5 and 7, and now he's 58. About the right age for 7, and given how old he looks, he may look older due to all the stress of flying. But give or take a few years he's about the right age. I know this is a crazy, and all over the place theory, and Im only pointing out key reasons, but at the same time, it makes some sense if you really think about it.

You forget AC:I took awhile to get to the amount of planes it ended up with. And most of those planes were ripped from AC:AH. Now we're on a new engine and everything has to be done from scratch in way higher detail than ever before. Basically, I hope you've brought the marshmallows because it's gonna be a long time before we reach Infinity's plane count, if it ever happens.

[@SuperGeronimo999]

I don't know... not saying you're not right, but AC:AH had 13 fighters, Infinity had 23. AC:AH had 13 multirole jets, Infinity had 25. AC:AH had 6 attackers, Infinity had 14. AC:AH had 24 planes with 8 releasing later as DLC. (32 total) Infinity had 62 planes, almost doubling AC:AH.

Speaking of 1991; I wonder if Osea fough it's own version of the Gulf War against Erusia back then?

[@ankngmg]

Prolly cold war, that turned into an actual war until 1991

[@Krescentwolf]

Considering the helter skelter timeline of Strangereal, I'm not so sure. The Belkan War is basically analogous to world war 2, just with modern fighter jets. There's nothing to say the conflicts follow the order of our world. It could be a 'gulf conflict' or maybe Osea was involved in some peacekeeping effort in a jungle country somewhere else in Strangereal, a la Vietnam or Korea.

[@cnlbenmc]

+@@Krescentwolf+ There was an actual WWI of sorts in Strangereal between Osea and Belka. I though there was supposed to be something akin to WWII between the late '30s to '40s then the Cold War started up. But my pregame timeline knowledge is far from encyclopedic.

I honestly feel that Sol 1's quote that he's killed many aces is a hint that he was Cipher aka.Galm 1 Its not entirely impossible cuz no one knew the real identity of the mercenary pilot. Plus out of the entire AC universe Cipher undeniably racked the the highest kills when it came to ace pilots.

[@chrisherring6187]

I always figured Mihaly was old enough to be Cypher. When he asks his squad about borders it was reminiscent of solo wings stance

[@badasstasticusbadass4908]

I kind of like the similitudes that the game gives betwen Mihaly and Yellow 13 - Mihaly uses the Su-30SM while Yellow 13 uses the Su-37, both aircrafts are basically the same with the difference that the Su-30SM is a double seat version of the Terminator. -Both flights in formation of 5 aircrafts. -Both don't actually care about the comflict, neither the political or military campaing about their countries, they just want to flight and face worthly opponents to test their skills, they are not "evil" per say. -Both were very feared by their enemies. As a curious fact, Mihaly uses allmost the same color pattern like Cipher, just with black brown and orange.

Mihaly was a fun guy He was basically a war monger that just wishes to fly... killing dumb pilots... a LOT of dumb pilots. "Oh hey, Mihaly, I have this program here that will make an infinite war because a lot of drones will fight with your skills, wanna join?" "I will fly?" "Well... yes, to extract data" "THEN YES"

[@draochvar9646]

Good thing for Mihayl that he sat out the last two big Usean conflicts, since he probably wouldn't have survived getting into a fight with Phoenix or Blaze. It's also kinda f*cked up that Mihaly is Gründer's slapdash, second-hand backup for their drones, since Phoenix trashed the original Z.O.E. units.

[@cnlbenmc]

And here I was hoping he was actually Scarface 1 at some point. If his last combat mission prior to AC7 was in 1991 than that's out the window.

[@Kurayami_13]

Even if it was not - FCU were basically at cold war with Erusea in 1990+. Not exactly the time to hire Erusean ex military pilot / active military instructor / test pilot. Not to mention Phoenix being known as mercenary prior to 1995 while Mihaly anything but mercenary.

[@draochvar9646]

Not just that, the fact Phoenix is bugging around in the XFA-27 throws that possibility out of the window entirely.

Mass driver from Ace Combat 5 that same place with Ace Combat 7?? Sorry i'm not good in english

[@Santiago-Farrell]

it is the same

[@bjlewis5431]

Yes, it's the same facility.. Under OSEA, it was called the Bassett space launch center, and it was originally part of President Harling's 'Bridge to Space' initiative. It was a joint collaborative project with Yuktobania, after their earlier war, to reestablish peaceful & meaningful relations, and put their countries excessive, combined military spendings, to far better..and more peacefully productive, use. The center's Mass Driver allowed for the orbital construction of the Arkbird, the flagship of Harling's Peace project, in space..and for supply ships to make regular runs for supply & support to orbiting ships & space stations, all designed to dock with them. Nagase tells you a bit more about it in AC5. As does the game generally.

[@princeblasian3735]

One thing thag bugged me was that he flies an Su-30, a two pilot plane and we know nothing about his co-pilot, as if he does everything on his own. Even in the cutscenes of with the Su-30, you can see a second pilot just chilling in the back seat completely frozen

[@jamesharris4695]

The robot system was in his back seat, it's what gathered the info from his flying

[@rns_nickitoloko_psn5775]

Basically the little thing in the co-pilot is the AI he's training. Other sol members have one too. It feels like mihaly was training Nemo or something like that.

Hey I know it maybe a bit controversial. but maybe you can do a lore episode on the different ethnicities and languages in Strangereal.(like why does it seem like 90% of the population of Strangereal is white lol) and maybe youre theories of Human evolution in Strangereal. where did the human race begin in this Universe?

[@piergiorgiocaroli9201]

That bugs me a lot. It geographically doesn't make much sense. Unless in History Usea or other countries made worse extermination than europeans.

[@Valks-22]

I don't think there is any prehistoric info on Strangereal, it otherwise loosely follows the world history IRL. I just hope your "seem 90% white" question is not based on some ridiculous SJW preposition, however, country like Osea which is basically US has other races there are black pilots, black soldiers in cutscenes across the games and Kei Nagase is obviously asian. Others are loosely connected to countries like Germany, France, Italy, Nordic countries etc. Strangereal is a fictional world loosely based on the real one but as such it does not seem to have its equivalent of Africa or even India for that matter so those particular races may be absent, additionally a lack of them also mean the lack of colonization period in Strangeal history and lower % in modern population if they exist. In the end it's a fictional world, namco can make it any way they see fit and drawing inspiration from IRL conflicts and aeronautical development it makes sense to focus on US/USSR/GER rather than Kenya or Pakistan

[@shira_yone]

I don't know about 90%. As far as I remember throughout AC2 to 7, it's more like 50% white, 30% Far easterners (Asia and Japan), 20% other ethnicities (brown and black). Notably more so in AC2, AC3, and AC0 (I haven't played 6 so this isn't really accurate I must say)

[@warwolf3005]

@@piergiorgiocaroli9201 What extermination?

[@warwolf3005]

Well, I'd say that more intresting thing is that in Strangereal people don't seem to be dumb enough to cause overpopulation. (In AC5, President Harling's vote numbers susggest that population of OSEA is less then 60 mln despite having such vast terrain.

so basically Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas Archange Shilage ended up as the trainer for Yellow 13, but Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas Archange Shilage never actually fought in the continental war against the ISAF. but if Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas Archange Shilage saw active combat in the lighthouse war, why was Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas Archange Shilage not actually fighting in the continental war? if Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas Archange Shilage fought alongside Yellow 13, i feel like the rocket launch on the shattered skies mission wouldve gone MUCH worse for the ISAF. also just maybe we wouldve gotten to see some of Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas Archange Shilage's skills with the yellows when we bombed them on the Tango Line. wouldve been interesting.

[@makeitthrough_]

Probably not. At the time STFS Scarface emerged (1995 AIR COMBAT) Mihaly already was a test pilot for Erusea (not to mention military service prior) - not exactly someone who could emerge as mercenary for a FCU with all hostilities etc. Plus despite squadron named Scarface and call sign being Scarface One protagonist of both AIR COMBAT and ACE COMBAT 2 is Phoenix - a pilot who was know for being mercenary before 1995 plus he stayed in Usea (at least assumedly) between 1995 and 1998 (AC2) again not something someone from Erusia could achieve with things going bad enough for FCU to enlarge military presence on Erusean border.
