Game Analysis
Ace Combat Infinity====Ace Combat Infinity=== "An aircraft planned and manufactured by the old Soviet Union. It features incredibly high combat capabilities and long range flight time, to compete with F-15s from the United States. It is also currently still used in Russia, older nations from the former Soviet Union, and the third world. Large in size and yet with excellent maneuverability, its wide ranging potential has led to many variants being created, and it can be said to be an aircraft representative of the 4th generation on the Eastern side.

Trivia

 * Before Ace Combat Infinity, the aircraft was simply called the Su-27 Flanker before finally changing to Flanker-B.
 * Additionally, depending on its special weapons being provided for each game, the Su-27 is likely based on two variants which feature the same designation, Flanker-B. For a special weapon set with at least one bomb-type special weapon, the aircraft is inspired by the initial production Su-27S variant while for a special weapon set featuring only air-to-air weapons, it is inspired by the Su-27P air defense variant.
 * The Su-27s flown by the USEA Federation, alongside those from the New Russian Federation in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, appears to be modeled after the Su-35 Flanker-E but with a paint scheme from the Su-27SMK multirole variant.
