That's probably because zero was made to be the beginning of the series chronologically. It contains a bunch of references to in 5 and I believe some later games, such as the XB-0 helping lead to Estovakia's aerial fleet in AC6, as well as directly lead to 2/AHL. Basically it was made to showcase why everything is happening across the games. Currently with 7, and supposedly 8, leading to 3. That's why Zero isn't 6. It's before the rest of the games. The Pre-quel of the series, and probably the best, most pure Ace Combat game. Not pure as in wholesome, because ya know. Seven nukes on Belka's own territory. Pure as in the story, music, graphics, and aircraft, and the battles are as ace combat as they come
