The Nimrod MR Mk.2 is a maritime reconnaissance aircraft designed by British brand De Havilland. The MR2 standard, entering service in 1975, includes a general modernization of the airframe, such as an upgraded electronic suite, mid-air refueling capabilities and wing-mounted ESM pods. It was retired from service in March 31, 2010, a year earlier than its original date, due to financial reasons. This aircraft saw combat on three real international conflicts, during the Falklands Conflict/Conflicto de las Islas Malvinas, the Gulf War and Afghanistan-Iraq War.
Ace Combat 5
The Nimrod makes a brief appearance in mission #03, "Narrow Margin". In the mission's second half, a flight of Nimrods of the Yuktobanian Air Force assault the OFS Kestrel and her accompanying fleet with anti-ship missile fire. Being a large-type aircraft, they have a greater damage threshold than fighters, being able to take three missile hits before being destroyed. After they attack the Kestrel they continue to Port St. Hewlett if Blaze decides not to destroy them.
Ace Combat 6
The Nimrod is featured in mission #05, "Anea Landing". If Operation C (Kijera Oil Fields, Marigold fleet) is completed first, then the second half of the mission will involve defending the Marigold and her fleet from an Estovakian air attack, which includes a group of Nimrods attacking them with anti-ship missile fire.
Trivia
- Occasionally, Nimrods shot down in Narrow Margin will crash into the Kestrel's deck. However, this causes no damage whatsoever to the ship, and the missions proceeds as normal.
