Game Analysis[]

Ace Combat Infinity

Ace Combat Infinity[]

"A special version of the A-6E featuring a Nugget design on the vertical tail.
It features improved turning performance and more space for armaments. Even if it fails to destroy its target in one attack, it has plenty of ammo for follow up attacks. Don't be distracted by the yellow appearance as it possesses good air-to-ground performance making it capable of capturing its prey."
