PAK FA <PAC-MAN>

From Ace Combat Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The PAK FA <PAC-MAN> is an aircraft exclusively featured in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy +. Its livery features designs and characters from Bandai Namco's Pac-Man series of video games.

Compared to the standard T-50 PAK-FA, the <PAC-MAN> features a massive boost to mobility in exchange for lower speed, defense, and stability. The aircraft also has a unique missile smoke feature: each missile fired from the <PAC-MAN> will cycle through red, pink, blue, and yellow missile smoke, referencing the ghosts Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde (yellow replaces Clyde's orange).

If the player syncs any Pac-Man amiibo with the game, they will receive an exclusive skin for the PAK FA <PAC-MAN> as well as the special Cockpit part "SP Part 12", which increases the plane's stealth and allows it to endure kill shots (if the aircraft was hit by a missile that would kill it, the aircraft survives it but stays at 1% health), in exchange for added weight slowing the aircraft down and making it less maneuverable.

Trivia

  • The <PAC-MAN> and the F-4E <PIKMIN & OLIMAR> are the only aircraft in the Ace Combat series to feature multiple missile smoke colors.
  • The choice of the PAK-FA for the <PAC-MAN> is a play on the identical pronunciation of "PAK" and "PAC".
