Game description: Ace Combat 5 features more than fifty licensed real-world jet aircraft. Nonetheless, the game's events and locations are set in a fictional world. The game's main campaign is set during a war between the fictitious nations of Osea and Yuktobania. The storyline revolves around the player character "Blaze," an Osean fighter pilot who leads a four-plane unit known as Wardog Squadron. The Unsung War follows this squadron's exploits as they attempt to ward off the Yuktobanian invasion of their homeland and uncover the truth about the war.
After attempting to intercept an unidentified aircraft, the entire 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron was destroyed. As the base scrambles its defenses and goes on red alert, you and your fellow elite fighter pilots are called upon to protect your home nation of Osea. Missions in Ace Combat 5 include engaging enemy planes in dogfights, destroying ground targets, and making split-second decisions. With Wingman Command, which lets you issue orders and coordinate group attacks, the fate of an entire squadron is in your hands.
