Ace Combat 5 - The Unsung War - Cheats

You must fly the fighter that you want the upgrade for and acquire enough kills for the unlock. For example, if you want the Super F-14, you must take out the F-14B, fly several missions, and acquire enough kills to get the F-14A. Take out the F-14A and fly several missions with it until you get enough kills to acquire the Super F-14. This applies to all aircraft.

Hold L2 + R2 and the plane will go into auto pilot.

Hold Triangle when locked onto an enemy. Your view will automatically shift so that you are looking at the target that you are chasing. This is especially useful in dogfights.

Finish all 16 stages in Arcade Mode. Afterwards, Mobius 1 will be able to pilot all 53 aircraft unlocked (paint schemes included) and bought in Campaign Mode but, with limited ammunition (20 missiles, 4 special weapons).

It is a lot easier to fight submarines and battleships if you fly very close to the water, as they cannot hit you as easily. This is very effective if you also fly very fast. Be careful not to crash into the water.

If you are trying to get a fighter(air to air)such as the f22 upgraded, go to The Usung War mission 27+. this level is also good for getting a lot of points. if you are trying to get the upgrade for an attacker such as the a-10, go to mission 26, Sea of Chaos.

When you have completed the game, there are a few more difficulty settings that you can choose from. These are great if you completed the game with ease, and want more of a challenge!

On mission 27+, if you destroy all 9 planes(4 ofnir,4grabacr, and 1 mig 1.44 REPLICATOR)with at least 1 minute left, Archer will say "i just remembered its my birthday next week. it will make my mom happy when my brother gets back" then Swordsman will tell Archer to go make his mom happy by returning too. i think that is why Swordsman says "we gotta stop this thing" to Archer, not Blaze. In order to do this, i recommend you use a plane with SAAMs or XMAAs. when head to head with the Belkans, use 1 SAAM, switch targets, use anoher, switch targets, and as soon as the first SAAM fills back up, fire. then quickly switch back to regular missiles and kill the fourth grabacr. then go after the rest of the planes. if they seem to spread out, fly away w/o hitting the brakes or throttlefrom them so they follow you. pull the plane up toabout 20 degrees and hit the brakes. when they fly past you fire missiles and guns. if you destroy them with about 2 minutes left on the timer, Replicator will pop up very small in the middle of the map. he will be flying very fast.

The F/A-22 colors are the following: OS(osean) which is a dark grey color, RZ(Razgriz) which is a black color ,and SP(specail) which is the ISAF F/A-22 color.The other plane for the F/A-22 is the FB-22.

The F-14A's colors are the following: OS(osean which is a grey color, RZ(Razgriz) which is black and YK(Yuke) which is like a desert camo. The F-14A's other planes are the F-14B and F-14D.

Get the missing parts from missions 12a, 12b, 16a, 16b, and 27a to unlock the Falken. You must destroy the hangar of each mission. For mission 12a, follow the river north, then go east at the fork in the river. You must be close for the hangar to show appear on radar. For mission 12b, after taking out the four radar sites, destroy enough targets and the hangar will show up near the smokestacks. The one in mission 16a is between the field HQ and the airfield. Mission 16b has it west of the river, between the airfield and oil refinery (south of the north-most river). The part on mission 27 is very close to the gun tower, in front of the tunnel.

Just like in Ace Combat 4, this game also gives you the option of the "Free Mission", when you have completed the game, go to the main screen and select Free Mission. You can now play any mission in the game, using any plane you have previously bought.

When you are given the option to land or launch your plane, do not press start and skip it.you can get about 6000 bonus points. it may not seem like enough but if you do this a few times you have enough for a new plane.

On mission 27, "Aces", you are able to complete the level without having to traverse the entire tunnel. Play the level as normal until the tunnel is opened. Instead of flying into the entrance, fly North towards the exit of the tunnel. It should be directly North of the entrance. Once you find it, approach it from the side so you can just barely enter the tunnel and turn back out. If done correctly, Bartlett will say"I'm right in front of you Kid. On the count of three, break right." Once he says that, fly back to the entrance of the tunnel, and enter it. Fly through it as you normally would, but when you destroy the target inside, the cut scene of the Razgriz exiting the tunnel will start, and the level will end. You can not get the special colored aircraft inside the tunnel if you do this.

If you switch into cockpit view in some planes, you can see the machine gun that you are firing and therefore be more accurate with it. The F5 has two guns side by side. The gun on the A 10 is very powerful and accurate.

After completing the game, just go back to the Title screen and go to options. The Music Player option will now be available. With this, you can listen to all every single track from within the game... This is probably the ONLY place you will be able to do this, without having to actually play the game.

All you have to do is slowy fly up to the KC-10 and when it says hold position keep the plane in that position. Don't change the plane's direction just push down the throwdel button (R1) lightly and pull up to the tanker slowly. Note: If you change the plane's direction it will be extreamly difficult to line up the plane to the target.

After you have ejected from the Hawk, and after being breifed, you will have to take off from the Kestrel.as you ride the elavator,you will not have control over the plane until you launch. However you can look left and right and up. As you roll up to the launch area,when you see a flight crew guy walk in front of you,keep looking at him(there is a cart neraby).as he gets closer to the cart,he will throw his hands in the suggesting he doesnt know something.

During one of the early stages of the campaign mode, Chopper will ask you about a song. Your next mission will depend on your answer ("Yes" or "No"). Also, at the end of the stage in which Edge gets rescued, Chopper will again ask you about the same song. Again, your "Yes" or "No" answer will decide which stage is next.

Shoot down the indicated target or complete the listed task to unlock the paint for the corresponding aircraft. Note: All planes must be bought before the paint becomes available.

Successfully complete arcade mode.

Get all the other aircraft except for the Falken to unlock the X-02.

Note: This is only effective against enemy ground units. This is difficult to do and requires many practice runs. If you find yourself with a missile being shot at you, try to boost to the nearest enemy ground unit. Then, slow down and make sure not to go past the ground unit. As soon as you see the missile closing in on the radar, quickly boost towards the ground unit, and time it so that the missile will go past you and into the enemy unit. This is possible to accomplish with a lot of practice, but is extremely difficult to time correctly. Try using it on enemy ships first, as they are much larger than tanks. Then, work your way down the size scale until you can use it against all enemy ground or sea units. This will save you missiles if your ammunition is low, or you need to conserve as much as possible as in missions 16B, 12B, and 9.
