A P2W microtransaction for a tedious game.
This is the least fun game of the entire Ace Combat franchise. It is also the one which hacks out planes to sell as P2W microtransactions.
In case you are wondering, no the microtransactions don't make the game fun. Even with P2W planes, the terrible missions will still be tedious even if you were a fan of the earlier games like I was. The advantage of the P2W planes is simply that your chances of having to repeat the same tedious mission again FROM THE VERY BEGINNING because that is how the "checkpoints" work in most missions will be marginally reduced.
This plane shouldn't have been hacked out of the game... and this game shouldn't exist. It's a deliberately annoying crime against gamers.
