User blog comment:SlyCooperFan1/What Ace Combat 7 Can Learn From the Past/@comment-30816816-20180627210832

Great post Sly, I certainly agree with them needing to address some of the bugs that have plagued the series, I'm not sure if I've ever seen the AI crash (during gameplay) on it's own unless it was scripted. One thing I remember about Ace Combat 5 is that even after a mission was completed the enemy would continue to attack you. I'm not sure if this was exactly a bug per se, but this was very annoying having to get shot down after you finished a mission. I remember this happening mostly during Operation Keynote.

It will be interesting for sure how AC7 stacks up against some of the series' bests. In my opinion I believe Ace Combat 7 will likely match the mark set by by the PS2 trilogy, but won't surpass it. I think AC7 will be a low Triple-A tier game title like Tekken 7 was in terms of ratings.
