Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve

Unlocking aircraft (version 1.0, released October 2026):
Most aircraft, upgrade parts and special weapons are bought with Military Result Points (MRP) on the Aircraft Tree.
You earn MRP by destroying targets in completed campaign and Free Mission sorties.
You must buy every node along a route before the aircraft at its end is unlocked.
Purchases are permanent and carry over to new campaign runs and Free Mission.

MRP and difficulty:
The MRP payout depends on the difficulty, from x0.8 on Casual up to x1.5 on Ace.

Ace difficulty:
Finish the campaign on Elite to unlock Ace difficulty.

Starting aircraft:
You start with the F/A-18C Hornet.

A-6E Intruder:
Given free after you clear Mission 14, "Two on the Run".

Hidden superfighters:
Finish Mission 30, "Song of Wings", to make the FA-36 Game, EA-36 Barricader and X-40 Nightmare appear on the Aircraft Tree.
The FA-36 and EA-36 cost 750,000 MRP each, and the X-40 costs 1,000,000 MRP.
To buy the X-40 you must also own an F-22A, F-35C or Su-57.

Free Mission:
