Parts fall into three types: BODY for handling, ARMS for weapon power, and MISC for special effects like detecting stealth aircraft. The August 4 post also introduced the AIRCRAFT TREE, a skill tree where players spend Military Result Points to unlock new aircraft, parts, and special weapons. The game launches October 2 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The official Ace Combat X account posted details on August 5 for the enhancement parts system in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve. Parts are split into three categories: BODY affects handling attributes like acceleration and yaw, ARMS boosts weapon power, and MISC grants special effects such as improved detection of enemy stealth aircraft.
An earlier post on August 4 introduced the AIRCRAFT TREE, a skill tree where players spend Military Result Points to unlock new aircraft, enhancement parts, and special weapons. The amount of parts each aircraft can carry varies, so players will need to match their plane to their preferred loadout.
The game is set for release on October 2 for PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a deluxe edition offering three days of early access.
