Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is the newest iteration of the Ace Combat combat flight simulation series.

Setting
This is the second Ace Combat title (second only to Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault) to take place in the real world.

The teaser recently released by Project Aces in August 9, 2010 shows an large-scale invasion in the American city of Miami, Florida, alongside a military raid of a Middle-Eastern looking city (presumably Iraq/Afghanistan).

The teaser also shows that the player will take part in as a pilot in the Nomad Squadron (shown as the Apache Squadron) and as a pilot in the Werewolf Squadron (shown piloting the F-22), and the only confirmed enemy ace as of now is Colonel Markov, AKA "Akula", for the Shark's mouth on his Su-35BM's nose, who shoots down the pilot of the F-22 in the teaser and supposedly slams into the parachuting pilot.

Gameplay
Footage shows a massive improvement of the standard AC physics engine, with a hostile Sukhoi Su-33 fighter performing the Pugachev's Cobra to evade the player, with the player performing a Kulbit, alongside a revamped destruction engine, as shown by debris coming out of battle-damaged structures. Furthermore, the footage shows a helicopter raid in a Middle Eastern-like locations, with insurgents being killed by turret fire from said choppers, presumably indicating that the players will be able pilot/board helicopters, which is a major change in aircraft selection (like the inclusion of the World War II A6M Zero & F6F-5 Hellcat in Joint Assault). For the damage modifications, buildings and other planes actually 'explode' like the real thing, sending debris everywhere, making you have to dodge it.
