You're likely referring to the "Carrier borne" category, which I deleted on June 4, 2014.

The series is about aircraft in the series, not aircraft in the real world. Aircraft in the series have had numerous roles, so some aircraft even have two roles depending on their game.

Carrier-borne aircraft only make a difference in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies and Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War during the take-off and landing minigames. In this case, we can make a list of aircraft that trigger the carrier on that article.

Outside of the take-off and landing in those two games, the fact that an aircraft is a carrier-borne aircraft makes no difference in Ace Combat. This is an Ace Combat wikia. If you want information about an aircraft, go to Wikipedia or an aircraft-based wikia.

The general rule of thumb on Acepedia is, we don't care about an aircraft in the real world. We only care about an aircraft as it applies to Ace Combat games.
