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.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: [[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 32:
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: Buying a CFA-44 skin in AC6, assuming you count buying DLC as a way to get a Disc One Nuke.
** Counts as [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]].
* [[Downloadable Content]]: You can buy skins that allow you to fly a craft without buying it ingame, although you're restricted to using the default SP weapon unless you have bought the plane and extra SP weapons ingame (there's no DLC for ''that''). Skins tend to look good, recall pilots/teams/squadrons from the older games, and have modified performance characteristics. Of special note, however, are [[The Idolmaster (Videovideo Gamegame)|The Idolmaster]] themed skins which, in addition to being very high performance and having colored smoke trails on missiles, tend to have decreased standard missile counts and increased SP weapon counts due to the fact that the ammo counts are the height and three sizes (and for planes with a fourth SP weapon, weight) of the character on the skin; the exception is the A-10 skin, which has ammo counts that reference 765 Productions.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: ''Beautifully'' averted. Ilya Pasternak in ''Ace Combat 6'' came to occupied Gracemeria ''just'' to fight Garuda One.
** During the Ragno Fortress mission, if you take the operation that requires you to fly through the tunnels under the base, you can hear intercepted radio chatter from the garrison that can basically be summed up as "Holy shit he's UNDER OUR BASE, BLOWING OUR SHIT UP!"
Line 52:
* [[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.]]
* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: Strigon 12 believes this. Ironic, because his best friend died in the 13th mission.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink|Real Men Fly Pink Raptors]]: Some of the downloadable paint schemes for ''6'' plaster giant pictures of [[The Idolmaster (Videovideo Gamegame)|iDOLM@STER]] girls on your planes.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Ilya Pasternak -the new Strigon Team Leader- is this according to Strigon 12/Toscha Mijasik.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: In ''6'' your allies only become useful after you've earned the right to call in their help. When you do call on them, they can clear the entire screen in seconds.
* [[Reds Withwith Rockets]] / [[Russians With Rusting Rockets]]: The Estovakians of ''AC6'' appear to be a mix of these, having Russian names and using a mix of [[Cold War]] era and modern Russian-made aircraft in their inventories.
* [[The Republic]]: Emmeria in ''6''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The DLC paint schemes for ''6'' include pictures of [[The Idolmaster (Videovideo Gamegame)|iDOL@STER]] girls.
** Also, Sky Kid is named after an old Namco game (which has had shout-outs throughout the series) and his wingmen (Red Baron and Blue Max were the playable characters.
* [[Stupid Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Shamrock's performance in the last mission of Ace Combat 6}} is half this and half [[Death Seeker]], as he's {{spoiler|suicidal over his perceived failure to protect his family}}. The stupid part is that he had nothing to do with {{spoiler|his family's death}} except in the most general sense of being a member of the military that was driven out of Gracemeria.
