They can also be neutral, where both opponents strive for an offensive position or disengagement maneuvers, to help an escape.Ĭlassic maneuvers include the lag pursuit or yo-yo, which add distance when the attacker may overshoot the target due to higher airspeed, the low yo-yo, which does the opposite when the attacker is flying too slow, the scissors, which attempts to drive the attacker in front of the defender, and the defensive spiral, which allows a defender to disengage from an attacker. They can be offensive, to help an attacker gain an advantage on an enemy or defensive, to help the defender evade an attacker's weapons. Maneuvers are used to gain a better angular position in relation to the opponent. BFM combines the fundamentals of aerodynamic flight and the geometry of pursuit, with the physics of managing the aircraft's energy-to-mass ratio, called its specific energy. Compatible aircraft are listed below.Four P-40 Warhawks performing training maneuvers.īasic fighter maneuvers ( BFM) are tactical movements performed by fighter aircraft during air combat maneuvering (ACM, also called dogfighting), to gain a positional advantage over the opponent. Not all aircraft can perform Post Stall Maneuvers. Post Stall Maneuvers can be initiated by slowing the aircraft down to around 450 km/h (240 knots) or lower, releasing all inputs on the left controller stick, followed by holding the throttle and brake buttons at the same time, then finally pulling the aircraft into the desired maneuver. This makes them an easy target, so maneuvers must be used with care. While post-stall maneuvers can allow the player to get behind an enemy and turn faster, it also causes the player to bleed a lot of energy.

NRF pilots in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon also extensively utilised PSM to evade the player.Īce Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the first game in the series that gives the player the ability to do post-stall maneuvers without using quick-time events, as well as the ability to perform the Knife-Edge Slide. Ace Combat 2 aces flying the Su-37 Terminator also utilized the Cobra. The Yellow Squadron and Megalith defense squadron in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies were most notable for their over-reliance on Pugachev's Cobra. The specific maneuver(s) performed would depend on the player's aircraft (and in Assault Horizon, if they were moving the plane in a certain direction).Įnemy units popularized Post Stall Maneuvers in prior games as well.
Though a knife-edge slide produced by a <90° yaw operates on the same principles as Pugachev's Cobra and anything more likewise is essentially a sideways Kulbit, it is much more difficult to pull off due to the demanding situational requirements, which cannot traditionally be filled with Ace Combat's controls.Īce Combat: Assault Horizon and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy allowed the player to perform Post Stall Maneuvers through quick time events, namely Dog Fight Mode and Attack Maneuvers, respectively. performing an extremely tight turn or yaw) while still more or less maintaining velocity. The Knife-Edge Slide is a maneuver in which a plane pivots along the y-axis (i.e.
Alternatively, 'Kulbit' refers to an instance of a plane actually pivoting along a horizontal axis in midair - an extension of Pugachev's Cobra, since it completes the extreme pitching maneuver that the Cobra seems to begin. The Kulbit is a maneuver in which a plane performs an extremely tight loop. The maneuver allows the plane to evade a target that is directly behind them, then return to level flight behind the target, leaving said target open for a counterattack. Pugachev's Cobra (or just Cobra) is a maneuver in which a plane raises its nose to vertical level (perpendicular to the ground), even slightly beyond, and then drops back down to level flight. The following real-life maneuvers can be performed in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. This article or section may require a cleanup to meet Acepedia's quality standards.
