Ace Combat 5 wasn't the weakest in-game in Ace Combat Holy Trinity
Step back from 4 ? Absolutely no, AC5 was essentially the second AC game after AC3 to created the blueprint for the strangereal world. Something that later games still use
Some people say 4 was more realism, Wtf that matter in Ace Combat a game series that is essentially a porn about aircrafts
Compared to AC4 and Zero, AC5 has much longer gameplay time in a single playthrough of story mode and almost triple time of replayability for unlocking cool stuff which makes AC5 more rich content than extremely shorter Zero and AC4 which hardly has unlockables
Unlocking planes through the XP system just adds more replayability to the game overall.
Wingman system isn't as bad as you think, just look at these tips
And by comparison, AC5 had a much better story in many aspects such: The story actually made me care about the characters since they have decent characteristics, and AC5 manages to keep the story interesting by adding plot twists and emotional moments like Chopper's death or the entire of Sea of chaos up to the Ending was extremely well done with more emotional weight than the entire of AC4 or ACZ
Now compared to AC4 that feels barebone with terrible narrative voice acting and no interesting characters aside from Yellow 13 and ACZ which is a discount version of what was AC5 story in every way, very important stuff happens out of nowhere with no details, and clues like Pixy betrayal and World without Borders attack, meanwhile AC5 reveals 8492 squadron by a small pieces through the first half of story with excellent build up to main reveals in Mission 8492, ACZ is lackluster comparison
"war bad" is something that is quite used frequently in many AC games but AC5 to explore it deeper with more emotional weight.
Sure Nagase quotes are some times too over the top but it AC so cheesy lines are not out of place. I still take that over half of the cringe quotes of AC6 or non-AC games like Project Wingman with its shitty writing
AC5 does have some bad missions but overall it is a upgrade from AC4 which had just time limit scoring gameplay loop, AC5 is more engaging in many aspects while AC4 has the same missions over and over again
Only major problems with AC5 are one SP weapon per aircraft is bad and number of ammunition should be higher that alone fixes many issues with AC5 bad missions.
