I just noticed something.... is that a Kuznetsov class carrier in the background? Never seen a Kuznetsov carrier in AC3. Can we assume that the UPEO inherited Soviet (ex-Yuke? ex-Belkan?) warships for their navy?

[RzB]

It does look like a Kuznetsov, or maybe they have the Ulanovsk type that was canceled by USSR... I just noticed that as well I'm gona look for more photos...

[Grastens 7]

That definitely looks like a Kuznetsov-class carrier, or at least comparing to this photo:

Minor edit made; Updated the format

btw, you right Granstens 7... i'll add to Adm Kutznetzov Article.

[Grastens 7]

Grammar and spelling edited.

Now, I'm not so sure, but it's the closest thing we have.

As for marts, I wonder how I missed that.

[Antare]

Other info added to article, I'll add info on other ac3 planes as I replay ac3 on PSP XD.

Isn't this in your UPEO aircraft section in the media center?

[JianDaoXiao]

Bagera, you are confused the Su-43 with the Su-47.... the same with the Su-37 Super Flanker and the Su-37 Terminator... they are diferents, please be careful

[Jetfreak]

Whoa, not so fast there buddy, that's the RL version of the plane. This article is about AC's ficitional derivative

Awesome work tho *claps*

[kuroi tsubasa]

Isn't there an Ouroboros paintscheme for the Su-43...? I know they use it also in the Japanese AC3 also.

[Broth3r]

Isn't there an Ouroboros paintscheme for the Su-43...? I know they use it also in the Japanese AC3 also.

Confirming this, the Berkut is used by both UPEO and Ourobouros in the JP version.
Makes sense, since they use the advanced fighters of the other 2 belligerents...

Gameshark?

there is another way, in the original disc, there is an append disc save dead copy, then in normal disc load your progress (52 missions unlocked), then load dead copy and bang!, X-49 Night Raven, Su-43 Ouroboros, plasma bean unlockable for any plane, etc:

Operators edited slightly, took out the JP and Non-JP since the UPEO and Ouroboros use Su-43s anyway. Not exclusive.
