Game Analysis

Ace Combat Infinity

"A multipurpose fighter produced using a JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) design. While able to use a variety of weapons in air-to-air and ground-to-ground combat, the procurement cost for this stealth fighter is more manageable than the F-22A. In accordance with its utility, there are multiple types available. The B type utilized by the U.S. Marine Corps is STOVL (short takeoff/vertical landing) capable. Its nickname is "Lightning II"."

Trivia

  • The blue camouflage livery seen on Event Skin #01 was designed as a "what-if" skin, intended to portray a hypothetical scenario where the F-35B was exported to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and subsequently adopted a livery reminiscent of the F-2A.
    • Japan has since acquired both F-35As and F-35Bs in real life. Rather than creating a new paint scheme for their F-35s as Ace Combat posited, however, JSDF has chosen to utilize the standard Have Glass V paint scheme.
  • In the promotional images for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, the F-35B appears to be using Have Glass V as the default paint scheme which seems to have been scrapped in favor of the Hill Grey paint scheme used on the released version.
