The A6M5 ZERO, the most common Piston Fighter in Ace Combat
A Piston Fighter (also referred to as propeller aircraft, or prop plane) is a specialized aircraft role exclusively featured in Ace Combat Infinity.
Piston Fighters are small, historical aircraft powered by propellers and piston engines (typically a single engine, though some aircraft such as the P-38L feature a twin-engine setup). As a result, these aircraft are typically slower than jet fighters and are limited in the type of ammunition they can carry, but their smaller size results in a maneuverable advantage.
