| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
On the mission where Chopper asks whether you've heard "Flip Side of The Coin" (a song), responding yes or no will determine the coin-flip missions later in the game. If you've already beaten the game, you can forego this with Free Mission mode.
Submitted By: Eiji MonoumaFree MissionJust like in Ace Combat 4, this game also gives you the option of the "Free Mission", when you have completed the game, go to the main screen and select Free Mission. You can now play any mission in the game, using any plane you have previously bought.
Even more difficulty settingsWhen you have completed the game, there are a few more difficulty settings that you can choose from. These are great if you completed the game with ease, and want more of a challenge!
CampaignAt the demon of Razgriz stage. approach at a lower level and at high speeds. The best plane to use is a tornado GR-1 good lowlevel manuver ability. The when you take out the sub the first time and the clock stops. tell your group to attack. wait for it to come up and then ise the triangle button till you get the work hirmifaxi on the trgeting system. Shoot at it. Make one pass runs and try to get atleast 2 runs in before it goes down. Forget about the UAVs after you concentrate on hirmifaxi and soon you will hear the deparate please fo the crew falling under your hamering
Submitted By: danielAcquire upgraded fightersYou must fly the fighter that you want the upgrade for and acquire enough kills for the unlock. For example, if you want the Super F-14, you must take out the F-14B, fly several missions, and acquire enough kills to get the F-14A. Take out the F-14A and fly several missions with it until you get enough kills to acquire the Super F-14. This applies to all aircraft.
Use the enemy's own missiles against themselvesNote: This is only effective against enemy ground units. This is difficult to do and requires many practice runs. If you find yourself with a missile being shot at you, try to boost to the nearest enemy ground unit. Then, slow down and make sure not to go past the ground unit. As soon as you see the missile closing in on the radar, quickly boost towards the ground unit, and time it so that the missile will go past you and into the enemy unit. This is possible to accomplish with a lot of practice, but is extremely difficult to time correctly. Try using it on enemy ships first, as they are much larger than tanks. Then, work your way down the size scale until you can use it against all enemy ground or sea units. This will save you missiles if your ammunition is low, or you need to conserve as much as possible as in missions 16B, 12B, and 9.
Defeating submarines and battleshipsIt is a lot easier to fight submarines and battleships if you fly very close to the water, as they cannot hit you as easily. This is very effective if you also fly very fast. Be careful not to crash into the water.
More accurate viewIf you switch into cockpit view in some planes, you can see the machine gun that you are firing and therefore be more accurate with it. The F5 has two guns side by side. The gun on the A 10 is very powerful and accurate.
Auto-target shiftHold Triangle when locked onto an enemy. Your view will automatically shift so that you are looking at the target that you are chasing. This is especially useful in dogfights.
Switch viewsYou can switch views by pressing (R3].
Campaign mode aircraft for Arcade ModeFinish all 16 stages in Arcade Mode. Afterwards, Mobius 1 will be able to pilot all 53 aircraft unlocked (paint schemes included) and bought in Campaign Mode but, with limited ammunition (20 missiles, 4 special weapons).
Perfect Mid-Air RefuelingAll you have to do is slowy fly up to the KC-10 and when it says hold position keep the plane in that position. Don't change the plane's direction just push down the throwdel button (R1) lightly and pull up to the tanker slowly. Note: If you change the plane's direction it will be extreamly difficult to line up the plane to the target.

var rm_host = "http://adserving.cpxinteractive.com"; var rm_section_id = 21784; rmShowAd("300x250"); FalkenGet the missing parts from missions 12a, 12b, 16a, 16b, and 27a to unlock the Falken. You must destroy the hangar of each mission. For mission 12a, follow the river north, then go east at the fork in the river. You must be close for the hangar to show appear on radar. For mission 12b, after taking out the four radar sites, destroy enough targets and the hangar will show up near the smokestacks. The one in mission 16a is between the field HQ and the airfield. Mission 16b has it west of the river, between the airfield and oil refinery (south of the north-most river). The part on mission 27 is very close to the gun tower, in front of the tunnel.
Song decisionDuring one of the early stages of the campaign mode, Chopper will ask you about a song. Your next mission will depend on your answer ("Yes" or "No"). Also, at the end of the stage in which Edge gets rescued, Chopper will again ask you about the same song. Again, your "Yes" or "No" answer will decide which stage is next.
Defeating the 8492nd Squadron During "8492"In order to obtain an "S" Rank on this mission, you must engage and destroy members of the 8492nd Squadron. Upon a first glance, this may prove difficult as these enemies use ECM almost exclusivley. In order to prevent this, destory the E-767 Jammer Aircraft accompanying the 8492nd.
The E-767 is the first enemy aircraft targeted once the 8492nd Squadron appears. Be careful to evade the initial barrage of missiles and destory the jammer. Giving your Wingmen the ATTACK Command while the facing the target is most likely easier than trying to destory the plane yourself.
On the mission Demons of Razgriz you have to fight the Hrimfaxi. While you fight it, it will dive back into the water and pop up someplace else. Well, if you climb to an altitude of 7,000 feet or more, and you look down with the right control stick, you can see where Hrimfaxi is hiding in the water. This will give you an advantage when you need to know where it will pop up next.

Get 'S' Ranks on all 32 missions on "Ace" difficulty to change the memory card save icon of AC5: UW from a grayish F-14 Tomcat paint scheme to the Razgriz F-14 Tomcat paint scheme of black and red.
Pac-Man ghost in mission 16AIn mission 16A "Desert Arrow", the ground is mostly desert with lots of circular patches of green (farmland, I suppose). One patch is in the shape of a Pac-Man ghost. To find it, go to grid section 5D (upper left grid is 1A, with numbers going across and letters going down). It's in the northern middle section of the grid.
