I'm surprised the jets are not used more

Actually that works I think. If your in a head-on pass with a guy and you both play chicken at close range you can get off a salvo of rockets and hit the guy. I did that a few days ago vs a guy in a Hurricane. I died in the pass but Im not sure if it was rocket or gunfire that got me.

I steer clear of the jets because they just don't do what they should. Well actually they do, but their speed is just to much against prop planes. The only German jet I can stand to fly for long, is the He-126 Salamander. It's a fun jet to fly when gunning down B-17s and stuff, and it seems to turn better than the Me-262?

Yak-3 FTW!!!!!

I gotta agree with Lexandro, AC is arcade. Not as bad as HAWX, but it's not like IL2, where it's obvious you need skill. Doesn't mean I don't love it though . Although the achievements and unlocks are very timeconsuming .

It's well known that AC is arcade, but it's arcade done the right way. It's playable without being too over the top (like hawx can be).

The main difference is Ace Combat still makes it fun to just fly the planes. All of their flaps, the way the missles fall from plane before igniting ( Phoenix missles on the F-14).... Project Aces just knows how to emulate the joy of flight and the little details in the aircraft. It also helps the can craft an amazing story to go with it (save the horrid storyline in 6). AC4, AC5 are still the genre defining games when it comes to console jet games.

HAWX just completely ruined any fun in flying along with a sense of speed.
