Project Wingman is basically the next best thing to Ace Combat 7, if not even better depending on who you ask, because it takes the best parts of the previous Ace Combat Games and gives you almost free reign to equip weapons on a per-slot basis instead of a per-loadout basis.

You are also a mercenary in a crew of memorable pilots who fly with you, and start the game as a very storied individual already. Par for the course of such games, you are a silent protagonist who never voices their opinion; however on certain planes you can get a secondary co-pilot, a WSO by the callsign of Prez. This adds some much-needed levity and replay value if in case you were flying a single seater before.

The game is about as good as any Ace Combat entry and is considered an honorary entry in that great series.
