INTRODUCTION

Ace Combat Assault Horizon is the latest installment of the popular flight simulation series that features
revamped gameplay, physics and realistic setting. The storyline as written by New Yor time!s best"selling
military author, #im $e%elice. &layers will have the chance to pilot several popular aircraft ranging from
attacers, fighters, multirole, bombers and even helicopter gunships.
The game runs on a revamped game engine allowing for destruction in a scale never seen before in Ace
Combat, and indeed in a flight simulator. This engine allows for real"time deformation' as an e(ample, sustained
gunfire on an enemy fighter will rip off its tail, while more severe damage will either tear off the wings or )in more
e(treme cases* even completely disintegrate the airframe as a whole, spilling the aircraft!s oil across the sy and
forcefully e+ecting the pilot from the cocpit. As mentioned before, buildings and other structures are now sub+ect
to combat damage, and will deform in real time. ,cenery damage will be often combined with Close -ange
Assault to provide a cinematic feel to gameplay"" for e(ample, stray fire in a pursuit will hit nearby buildings,
forcing the player to evade the debris while remaining in pursuit.

3A>-FA9s stealth capabilities will also ma*e you lose sight of him from time to time. Fou may destroy a few of
his escorts before resuming tagging him. ;o not rely on your counter-maneuvers often as (llich won9t easily fall
to them easily. Use it against normal fighters though.
Dontinue raining bullets, firing all your missiles and special weapons whenever you get a solid loc* on (llich,
especially in ;F#. Four normal shots will have chances to connect especially when in ;F#. After destroying
