Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War/Aces
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War features 169 unique named aircraft for the player to hunt and shoot down. Many of these named aircraft only appear on a certain Ace Style and have a specific spawn condition. Shooting down a named aircraft will add their entry to the in-game "Assault Records" where players can view more information about the pilot flying the aircraft.
The list below is grouped by mission. Selecting a row will show all information about the named aircraft including its spawn details and the pilot's Assault Records biography. Minor inaccuracies (for example, "Galm Flight" instead of Galm Team) are included verbatim, but major translation errors or discreparencies are corrected and accompanied by a note. Pilots withour detailed biographies either show "Detailed information regarding this pilot is unavailable" in English, or "NO RECORD" in Japanese.
The superscript SP indicates shooting down that named aircraft will unlock the aircraft's Special color.
