Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War Cheats
I can see you Hrimfaxi
On the mission Demons of Razgriz you have to fight the Hrimfaxi. While you fight it, it will dive back into the water and pop up someplace else. Well, if you climb to an altitude of 7,000 feet or more, and you look down with the right control stick, you can see where Hrimfaxi is hiding in the water. This will give you an advantage when you need to know where it will pop up next.
Mission 27 tunnel glitch
On mission 27, “Aces”, you are able to complete the level without having to traverse the entire tunnel. Here is what you do:
Play the level as normal until the tunnel is opened. Instead of flying into the entrance, fly North towards the exit of the tunnel. It should be directly North of the entrance.
Once you find it, approach it from the side so you can just barely enter the tunnel and turn back out. If done correctly, Bartlett will say”I’m right in front of you Kid. On the count of three, break right.”
Once he says that, fly back to the entrance of the tunnel, and enter it. Fly through it as you normally would, but when you destroy the target inside, the cut scene of the Razgriz exiting the tunnel will start, and the level will end.
Note: You can not get the special colored aircraft inside the tunnel if you do this.

Defeating the 8492nd Squadron During ”8492”
In order to obtain an “S” Rank on this mission, you must engage and destroy members of the 8492nd Squadron. Upon a first glance, this may prove difficult as these enemies use ECM almost exclusivley. In order to prevent this, destory the E-767 Jammer Aircraft accompanying the 8492nd.
The E-767 is the first enemy aircraft targeted once the 8492nd Squadron appears. Be careful to evade the initial barrage of missiles and destory the jammer. Giving your Wingmen the ATTACK Command while the facing the target is most likely easier than trying to destory the plane yourself.
