History YMMV / AceCombat7SkiesUnknown

** Harling is a major player in the events of both ''[[VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar AC5]]'' and ''[=AC7=]'', so unless players [[PreOrderBonus pre-ordered]] the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 version of the game, which comes with a download code for ''The Unsung War'', [[spoiler:they won't fully understand why his death in the mission Rescue is so tragic.]]

* PortingDisaster: DownplayedTrope. The game exists on PC in finished form, with excellent graphics and all content available. However, it doesn't support many controllers: it makes use of Xinput configurations, meaning a focus on Xbox 360 and later-style controllers, while some older or converted controllers (both of which include [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOTAS HOTAS]]) won't work. This includes the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 DualShock 2]][[labelnote:note]]although some [=DualShock=] 2 to USB adapters may be able to work[[/labelnote]]. It also supports an [[http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/ace-combat7-thrustmaster-compatibility extremely small roster]] of PC flight sticks, all of which are made by Thrustmaster and cost [[RevenueEnhancingDevices at least as much as the game itself does]]. While [[https://guides.gamepressure.com/ace-combat-7/guide.asp?ID=48549 hacks]] allow you to use your ten-year-old but still-working USB joystick, the PC version still isn't playable ''conveniently''.

** The final DLC mission, "Ten Million Relief" plan, has you [[spoiler:dismantling a nuclear submarine after its captain, Matis Torres, goes off the deep and and tries to nuke a major city from 5,000 kilometers away just so he can revel in the so-called elegance and beauty of long-distance mass murder. It is immensely satisfying to see that MaskOfSanity fall off as you blast away at the hulking sub and make it go up in a mighty explosion as he can only helplessly babble about his failed dream of claiming "one million lives!!"]] A perfect fight for those who wanted an [[EvilIsHammy absolutely hammy villain]] to face off against.

* MoralEventHorizon: Captain Matias Torres had already demonstrated that he was a few screws loose in the last few missions, but what little redeemability he had goes out the window in SP Mission 03, "Ten Million Relief Plan", when he [[spoiler:not only does he fire a nuke at a populated Osean city, he does so by ''[[ISurrenderSuckers faking a surrender]]'' and [[BatmanGambit capitalizing on the LRSSG's quarreling]] ("We cannot attack those that have surrendered!" "Then I'll happily quit my career!") to prepare the shot, foiled only by OIA agent David North seeing through his ruse and Trigger [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight defying cease-fire orders to knock the railgun out of aim]]]]. After [[spoiler:the shot misses and the LRSSG is tasked with now blowing the sub to pieces before it can fire another shot]], Jaeger encourages his allies not to hesitate anymore, because Torres and his crew "[[BeyondRedemption quit being soldiers]] the moment they [[spoiler:faked their surrender]]".

* ShippingGoggles: Once Count is transferred to Cyclops Squadron, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEAUHv3jMYk his dynamic with squadmate Húxiān]] slowly goes from mutual dislike (ex. Húxiān [[WhatTheHellHero calling out Count]] for his GloryHound tendencies in Mission 12) to [[VitriolicBestBuds more friendly banter]] (ex. Húxiān jokingly calling Count an asshole when he "miraculously" seems to [[spoiler:disable the Arsenal Bird's microwave shields]] in Mission 19), though there's no indication their relationship is anything more than platonic. Even so, because of their interactions, Húxiān having a rather personal confession about [[DarkAndTroubledPast her thieving days]] during Mission 18 that startles Count, and Húxiān being the one to express relief when Count [[spoiler:confirms a successful belly landing after his plane takes damage in the final skirmish with the ADF-11 beneath the Lighthouse]], several fans were quick to pair them up.
