Is the F/A-18C confirmed for Ace Combat 8?
A Team Zvezda skin for the F/A-18C is confirmed in the Deluxe cosmetic set; the skin is not itself proof of a Deluxe-exclusive aircraft.
Confirmed explanation
Official terms say the cosmetic works in Online Mode and becomes available in Campaign Mode after all missions are completed. It is distinct from the separately advertised F-14A aircraft bonus.
What is not confirmed yet
The base plane’s unlock route, stats and special weapons have not been fully detailed.
