Fast Fact #1: Wingman Command
Prepare to soar to new heights this October with Namco Hometek Inc.’s Ace Combat?5: The Unsung War, exclusively for the PlayStation®2! Namco’s fifth installment in the franchise introduces Wingman Command, in which players’ split-second commands to their squadron can determine mission success or failure.
Did you know:
° By using the new Wingman Command feature in Ace Combat 5, players can:
- Experience a heightened level of strategy by commanding their very own squadron to assist in more than 30 missions ranging from air-to-air combat, air-to-ground fighting, air-to-sea assaults, rescue, recon and more;
- Issue mid-mission directives such as Cover, Disperse, Attack and Use Special Weapons to their fellow wingmen;
- Create a squadron that's best suited for each mission from more than 50 different licensed planes for each of their wingmen;
- Immerse themselves in the thick of aerial action by heading up a formation and watching their three wingmen roll and disperse outward, or locking onto an enemy target with their squadron and demolishing it together with a barrage of ammo.
° Wingmen callsigns in Ace Combat 5 include Edge, Chopper, Archer, Heartbreak One, Swordsman and Blaze.
° Contrary to popular belief, real-life fighter pilots rarely receive cool callsigns like “Maverick” or “Iceman.” A pilot’s callsign is usually given by his/her comrades and is associated with the pilot’s last name or commemorates something memorable the pilot has done, such as “Crash” or “Puke.”
