Line 6:
Ace Combat 6 was the first console game in the series to be released for a non-Sony system. It was released exclusively for the Xbox 360 in 2007 and became the best-selling game on that system in Japan.

=== Tropes found in the game : ===
 
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Pasternak to his squadron.
Line 19:
* [[BFG]]: Chandelier, Estovakia's anti-meteor colossal rail gun. The weapon itself is about the size of the island right next to it.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The second half of Mission 12.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: [[In-Universe]], you end up fighting the Nosferatu, but it's not even mentioned that it's a special plane and has no impact on the story. Not even in the flight records.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: All Minor Aces' callsigns are all in Russian. Strigon is named after a Romanian word.
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: The Zipang F-14D as a Downloadable Content.
Line 48:
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: The DLC Gryphus Emblem F-22 in ''6'' literally breathes this trope. So much, that on the stat chart it looks like a perfect hexagon. The MiG-29 Fulcrum is also shown to be like this.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: Each ''launch'' of the ADMM special weapon in ''Ace Combat 6'' targets 12 air or ground enemies at once, double that of the XMA6 and triple that of the XMA4, without expending that many missiles at once as they do; earlier games allowed no more than four simultaneous missile launches, and in each case one target = one missile. Its only weakness is that the weapon has a long reload time and that it has the same potential as the Advanced Air-to-Ground Missile (XAGM) for being wasted against ground clusters that could have been destroyed with a single bomb. Nevertheless, that's potentially up to 216 struck targets on Normal... worse yet, even on Easy the CFA-44 Nosferatu "boss" (piloted by Ilya Pasternak) is not above using it on ''you''.
** Backfires on Pasternak though when ''you'' can call them in on ''him'', through Allied Support -- clearingSupport—clearing operations and generally helping out your side allows you to call in fire support against targets in your view or who are attacking you, so no matter who's on whose six you can call in multiple missile shots almost at will.
* [[Mauve Shirt|Mauve Shirt Army]]: ''6'' has several allied squadrons/pilots/units that appear in every mission and are easily identifiable. They even have names, ranks and biographies if you care enough to look them up in the Assault Records.
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: ''6'' subverts this when one of the Estovakian officers, despite still believing in this trope, hated the idea of allowing innocent civilians die, and willingly surrenders over the secrets to his country's last trump card, the [[BFG|Chandelier.]]
