Went back to replay Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War again. The game is quite fun as an arcade flight game, and the narrative is quite interesting from a certain standpoint, it can be seen as an alternate history WW2 on a fictional version of earth with modern and science fiction weaponry, and nuclear weapons.
spoiler
The in game stand in for Nazi Germany, Belka, nukes themselves (by the border regions) to prevent a land invasion, yes the story really is that out there.Gameplay is extremely unrealistic (your plane has 100+ missiles and can pull constant 30G turns), as a plane nerd it breaks my brain a bit, but it is very fun. Definitely the peak of series.
If they ever remake it they should never get rid of the cutscenes
Everybody gangster til the Flamenco guitar starts to play.
I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but if you follow Sailor Malan's ten rules of air fighting, the final boss fight where this song plays gets a lot easier. Hold your shot until it's a guaranteed hit, stay high, turn and face the attack head on (the game explicitly tells you to do this at some stage of the boss fight, like knights jousting), make decisions quickly (don't hesitate) then hit hard and then evade, avoid flying straight and level. All very helpful in the final boss fight.
Also Google Sailor Malan, very interesting character.
