Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is the latest installment in the popular Ace Combat arcade flight simulator franchise, developed by Project ACES and published by Namco Bandai in October 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Like the previous game, Joint Assault, it is set in the real world rather than the earlier games' "Strangereal" world. A playable demo showing two levels is available on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network; the majority of screenshots below are currently captures from this demo.
The following weapons appear in the video game Ace Combat: Assault Horizon:
CETME Rifle
In one trailer, a soldier is seen armed with a CETME rifle.
Generic Rifles
Soldiers in the helicopter demo mission are armed with very low-detail smallarms, making it impossible to determine make or model; all that can really be said is the insurgent weapon looks vaguely AK-ish and the American weapon vaguely M4-ish.
FIM-92 Stinger
Enemy "SAM" soldiers seem to be armed with very low-detail FIM-92A Stinger launchers. The AH-64 Apache can also equip wingtip-mounted Stingers (ATAS or ATAL) as an air-to-air weapon.
Type 69 RPG
As with the Stinger, the Type 69 RPG used by insurgents seems to be designed more to cast an RPG-like shadow than to be accurate in detail, but the weapon is clearly held with one hand rested above the tube rather than on a second handgrip, meaning it is not an RPG-7. These weapons still sound a lock-on tone when fired, but appear to be unguided, simply travelling in a straight line.
General Dynamics GAU-17/A
The General Dynamics GAU-17/A appears in the game door-mounted on MH-60L Blackhawk helicopters. It should be noted that this is the first game in the Ace Combat franchise to feature helicopters as playable aircraft. The player controls a Blackhawk's door gun during the opening credits.
DShK heavy machine gun
The DShK heavy machine gun can be seen in the demo mounted on technical trucks and a T-55 tank.
KPVT & PKT Machine Guns
In the helicopter demo mission, the player character's helicopter is attacked by a number of BRDM-2 armoured scout cars (called "APCs" in-game), armed with turrets mounting a KPVT heavy machine gun and a coaxial PKT machine gun.
M61 Vulcan
The M61 Vulcan appears in the game as a secondary weapon on several playable fighters, including the F-14D Super Tomcat, F-4E Phantom II, F-16C Fighting Falcon, Mitsubishi F-2A, F/A-18E & F Super Hornet, F-15C Eagle, F-15E Strike Eagle, F-15S/MTD Eagle, YF-23 Black Widow II, and F-22A Raptor.
GAU-12/U
The GAU-12/U is the lightest armament of the AC-130U "Spooky II" gunship.
GAU-22/A
The GAU-22/A appears in the game as the secondary armament of the F-35B Lightning II fighter.
Mauser BK-27
The Mauser BK-27 appears in the game as the secondary armament of the Eurofighter Typhoon and Tornado GR-4.
GIAT 30
The GIAT 30 appears in the game as the secondary weapon of the Rafale M fighter.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1
The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 appears in the game as the secondary weapon on several aircraft, including the MiG-29A Fulcrum, Su-27 Flanker, Su-34 Fullback, Su-33 Flanker-D, Su-35S Flanker-E, Su-47 Berkut, and the Sukhoi PAK-FA prototype.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2
The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2 appears in the game as the secondary armament of the Su-25TM Frogfoot ground-attack jet.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-30
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-30 guns can be seen mounted on Russian warships in Kashtan and AK-630 installations.
GAU-8/A Avenger
The General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger appears in the game as the secondary armament of the A-10A Thunderbolt II ground-attack jet.
M230 Chain Gun
The M230 Chain Gun is mounted on American AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopters.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23-2
Mi-24 helicopters in the game are either the Mi-24VP or Mi-24VM variant, armed with missiles and a chin-mounted Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23-2 twin-barrel gun.
ZU-23-2
In some missions, the player will be engaged by enemies manning ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns.
2A38M Autocannon
In one trailer, a soldier is seen standing in front of a row of 2S6M "Tunguska" self-propelled AA systems, armed with missiles and twin 2A38M autocannons.
Bofors 40mm
The Bofors 40mm is the second heaviest weapon mounted on the AC-130U "Spooky II" gunship.
M120 mortar
The AC-130 shown in-game, while called an AC-130U, is actually based on one of the suggested upgrade packages for the AC-130, mounting a breech-loading M120 mortar as the heaviest weapon rather than the M102 105mm howitzer mounted on current models.
