Ace Combat 8 announced. Super excited that this finally got confirmed for releasing next year. This series is how I got into military procurement and ended up on this forum lol. Really hoping for PLAAF jets, but do not have too high hopes. Hoping for the best as the plane list for this series has gotten a bit stale over the years. Maybe even 6th gen though I doubt it.

At this point AC8 dont include PLA Aircraft is A JOKE.

Too bad the PLAAF isn't really into self promotion or else we might really see it. However, I suspect that for any planes to feel properly futuristic, they're going to have to be tailess. I suspect that we're going to see design cues from the J-36 and the Shenyang plane in the crazier Ace Combat fighters. Still, it'd be really cool so see something like a J-8II in the game.

There is one problem though: Ace Combat loves its guns, and none of China's 5th and 6th gen fighters have any. It'll be a design challenge for sure.

You know some Chinese guy will rage so hard, he will create the better fighter jet game with PLAAF fighters just to get even.
