A terrible mission created to sell lasers as microtransactions
I have never seen a DLC mission as bad as the DLC arc for this predatory travesty of a game. The enemies cheat to make them immune to missiles so you have to use lasers... which you can buy as microtransactions in the form of Sci Fi "DLC" planes sold in OTHER "DLC".
The writing and everything else about these missions is trash... because it wasn't meant to be good; it was meant to push OTHER microtransactions for this abomination of a product.
Speaking as someone who has played Ace Combat since I was a kid, starting with old PS One games, I honestly wish this predatory excuse for a game didn't exist. At least then the series could have died with dignity.
