^This. DFM was so overused we can no longer shoot anything down without it. The cloud should just be another minor addition for realism, not a vital gameplay element. Like we can't shoot anything down outside of clouds, or being outside of clouds for too long will kill you.

I can't fathom why you would even think anything like this would be a possibility. Why do people think clouds are going to be like DFM where you have to stay inside of them? They're just clouds! They add stealth to units hiding in them, which will add a strategic element to some missions (in fact, this was already used narratively in Home Front), but it's not like you need to rely on stealth to get through the game. Look at every other Ace Combat game ever.

I'm sure we'll have at least one mission where they'll have us do some insane thing with the clouds like having to stay inside of them for one mission, but outside of that the idea that the aircraft would explode if we didn't stay inside clouds or that missiles don't work outside of clouds???? That's absolutely unbelievable nonsense.
