All Named Aircraft Skins + Real Life Counterparts | Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

!! PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING !!
- YES I'M PLAYING ON STANDARD CONTROLS! I play on mouse and keyboard and I enjoy the game more that way!
- Feel free to let me know if I made any mistakes!
- I do not plan on making a video like this for previous ACE COMBAT titles, as they have not been officially ported to a PC platform and I do not own any consoles or even controllers to play emulated versions with.
- The song throughout the entire video is ENCHANTER 1 from the AC7 soundtrack

>Su-37 >of the Ukrainian Air Force Oh no how embarrassing.

[@alaskausn]

It is an Su-37 in the scheme of an Su-27 of the Ukrainian Air Force. As is the case with all the planes shown in the video, the name on top is the in-game name of the aircraft. The smaller text underneath is the aircraft or camouflage scheme the in-game aircraft is based off of.

[@halzan7467]

[@halzan7467]

@Fightingfalconmlu94 oh ok, I was confused because Ukraine doesn’t have the SU-37 but now because of your comment I realize it would’ve been more proper to make it an SU-35 because it was developed from the SU-27.

[@probablyjay3449]

@shingshongshamalama One year later, Ukraine is in an actual war, not so embarrassing now, is it?

[@AdmiralTails]

The YF-23 and Su-47 skins are definitely things that the planes were never painted in, they were both prototypes that never made it into production, and as such didn't really get the chance to have any alternate paint jobs.

[@alaskausn]

Yes, I am aware that neither of them were mass produced. I chose not to use concrete terms simply because I’m not an expert on the subject. Thank you for your comment!

Not as if he said that in the video…

[@karios9635]

Didn't know where most of these skins came from. Learning new stuff

[@daniyardilimulati8420]

7:10 my headcanon is that Erusea had a bit of J-15s among their Su-33 fleet and IBIS was one of the few Erusean (probably experimental) J-15 pilots. It might also explain why he tries to flee when he spawns so Erusea gets to keep him and the jet.

For those wondering what the french codenames mean : - 4:17 : "Faucon" means "Falcon" in French. - 4:59 : "Gazelle", same word in french for the same animal. - 6:28 : "Louveteau" means wolf cub. - 7:48 : "Chasseur" simply means "Hunter". - 9:17 : This one's called "Foudre" in-game, which means "lightning". - 9:55 : Buffle would translate as "buffalo". - 12:00 : Serpent simply means Snake.

Hi! Although the camouflages are somewhat similar, the pattern on the F/A-18F Spider matches exactly with the pattern on the F/A-18E of the VFA-137 shown in the picture (Number 200).

I've never played this series before. ACE COMBAT skies of deception is the last series i've played. What a great moment, really miss that. Anyway, just for sharing 😊 The MiG-29S (izdeliye 9.13) is belongs to Gromov Flight Research Insitute. This MiG was crashed in RIAT Airshow 1993, one of the airframe (925 Black) broke into 2 parts. and the Su-35S is actually the Su-35BM bort number 902 Black, the 2nd Prototype (as seen on its camo). The Su-35BM Flanker-E is the pioneer of the Su-35S, The Super Flanker-E a.k.a The last Flanker. Well, Great shot, Buddy, keep it up 🤙

Which wasn't even done right because it was because Russia was in a Civil War that no one knows about until the Russian division of the UN Peacekeeping Force went AWOL. Also, the tactic was to bring the old fans of Ace Combat back after the fuck up of Assault Horizon, showing off old skins from different Aces from the old games.

I did have it unlocked, I just wanted to keep everything consistent as there are many roundels that are not in game. I stuck to the theme of NATO aircraft having the Osean roundel and everything else having the Erusean roundel. The only exception I made was the Japanese F-2 as I thought the Osean roundels' colors contrasted rather poorly. Thanks for your comment tho!

As a historian I can guess with some certainty "Unnamed Soviet Acrobatics Team" is an English-language research way saying "We couldn't bother to look up the publicly advertised Soviet military team that was doing an airshow for the public, and we don't think anyone reads these captions anyway." The Iranian F-14 design is damn cool though.

[@alaskausn]

Hi! While I’ll admit that I didn’t do all that much research, I found an image on google with the exact same camo scheme captioned “unnamed soviet aerobatics team” hence the name in the video. It’s just me quoting an image I found, sorry for the lack of research >

[@MarkSynthesis]

@@alaskausn I was fully prepared to blame the book or other reference source you were using, and not you, but your candor is not unappreciated. Though yes, the acrobatics demonstration team from the Soviet air forces definitely had a name (probably from their home airbase or unit), it wouldn't have been actually unnamed in any case (notably, the Soviet navy didn't name their submarines the way they did in the west, but used designation codes instead, like Japan and Germany during the war).

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

The thing is, that paint scheme is not an acrobatics scheme, its a parade scheme. A similar scheme can be found on other older Soviet jets.

[@evanopos5]

Kinda late to the party but can’t resist to put my opinion here. But I think Namco/Project Aces missed the opportunity to promote JASDF’s absolutely remarkable liveries w this ace mission rewards. Like, there are plenty of beautiful F-15J liveries even the anime-esque ones to choose from; yet they chose the one that look like a discounted Cipher skin. Same w the F-22 skin that should be in the F2A (cuz Tempest’s skin is from the F2A anyway) and replace it w, idk, YF-22 skin maybe. Or maybe from one of the Aggressor F18s that look like to mimic the Russians is perfectly fine. Like what they did to the prototypes (SU-37 & -47, YF-23) mixup that looks cool. The reason behind this is that AC7’s development involves the JASDF as they stated in the roll credits, yet the skin that they brought to the Japanese planes’ aces in game isn’t that great imo. That being said, really love these real life skins added into the game that you can obtain by grind the objectives. I got all of em and happy to use some of it so far.

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

They likely chose that skin for the F-15J because it was Mobius 1's skin for the F-15C. Personally, I was very happy to see it return.
