Why would they call it "the last hope" if chance for victory is certain? The plane was used early and got scrapped midwar. Unlock condition has nothing to do with the plane's availability in canon. If you're going with that logic, then Mobius only flew F-22 in Farbanti and Megalith. The entirety of war he only flew an F-4 and that would be his iconic plane, not the finisher. Two ways to interpret it: The allied forces were about to lose so they had to dish out a superplane. No superplane, not much hope to avoid defeat. In my POV, they had to give a superplane to Phoenix to beef up his abilities so he could suppress the rebellion once and for all. No superplane, not much hope to end the conflict. In what way it is as certain for the folks who came up with the strategy as it is for you that the victory was certain a week later?
