IDOLM@STER Aircraft

The IdolMasters aircraft are downloadable aircraft availible in Ace Combat 6. They have different stats than their normal counterparts, and their prices when downloading them vary. They are mostly from 200 Microsoft points to 600 Microsoft points. Below is a list of Idolmaster aircraft. Note however, that not all of them are here currently.

F-16C Fighting Falcon: Mami Futami: This F-16C has improved in all aspects excluding stability. It can become uncontrollable in an event of a roll. It should not be used by an unexperienced played due to being prone frequent crashes.

Mirage 2000-5: Yayoi Takatsuki: Is a generally good all round aircraft, but has ridiculas speed, moving from 200mph to 1700 in just under 3 seconds. As it's description states, it is often more than most can handle. However, at speeds below 1200mph, it is very manuverable.

A-10 : IdolMaster SP: A modified A-10 that is green and white, with perfect air to air and air to ground capabilities, and odd enough it seems this aircraft has negated the effect of gravity. As it appears to sway sideways even if you arn't using the rudder.

F/A-18F : Ritsuko Akizuki: An F/A-18F with perfect stability, air to ground, and air to air, but with only moderate defence, mobility, and speed.

F-2A Viper Zero: Ami Futami: Similar to the F-16C, it has good statson every aspect, excluding stability. I has one advantage over it's twin, it is high in Air to Ground, but average in Air to Air. Which is the complete opposite for the F-16C.

F-14D Super Tomcat: Arusa Miura: A modified Tomcat, however, it has average stability, air to air, and air to ground. It has good speed, defense, and mobility, however. In general, it should only be used if you are trying to take on an interceptor role, or in free flight mode. As it can fly at about 2100 mph when in a steep dive.

Su-33 Flanker-D: Miki Hoshii: A modified Su-33 Sea Flanker, although its speed, defense, and Air to Air have been slightly reduced, it has an increase in stability and Air to Ground.

F-15E Strike Eagle : Chihaya Kisaragi: A modified Eagle, with great stability, speed, and combat capabilities. It has moderate mobility, and poor defense however.

Rafale M: Iori Minase: This modified Rafale M has an increase in all aspects, but suffers from poor stability. Its top speed is at 1481 mph. Although its mobility is high, it has a poor turn radius compared to it's normal counterpart.

F-117A Nighthawk : Yukiho Hagiwara: A modified Nighthawk, it is lower in every aspect of it's stats than it's normal counterpart. However, it's Air to ground has stayed the same, and it's Air to air has slightly improved. As it's speed still renders it useless.

EF-2000 Typhoon: Makoto Kikuchi: A modifed EF-2000 Typhoon, this aircraft's speed, mobility, and stability have been maxed out. But it has some flaws, it's Air to Ground and Air to Air stats have nearly been depleted, and it's missle and SP weapon lock-on is the slowest of all of the IdolMasters.

Su-47 Berkut: Miki-EX (Miki Hoshii): A modified Su-47 Berkut, it has slight improvements in mobility, speed, and Air to Air. But it suffers from poor defense, and stability. Its Air to Ground capabilities are slightly improved as well.

F-22A Raptor: Haruka Amami: A modified Raptor, in every aspect, it is better than it's normal counterpart, apart from slowing down very fast from high G turns. It's slowest speed is at about 74 mph when stalling. Which can prove to be a life or death factor when trying to outmaneuver an enemy missle.

Trivia

 * Most idolmaster aircraft slow down rapidly when performing a High-G turn.


 * All of them have a picture of their respective idolmaster on their wing, apart from the A-10, which has all of the idolmasters.


 * Usually, speed is needed for them to be used to their fullest.


 * They all have at least 1 very good strength about them: The A-10 can dogfight well, the F/A-18F is very stable, etc.


 * They all also have a weakpoint: The F-15 is very weak, and can't take much damage, the F-14 is terrible in combat, the Typhoon has a notable delay on locking on with missles, even at very close ranges, ect.
 * The Tornado GR.4 is the only aircraft that does not have an IdolMaster. Excluding the CFA-44 Nosferatu, which is a superfighter.
