Superweapon Damage Zones
Ace Combat 8 allows colossal weapons to take damage outside the designated target containers shown on the HUD. Giant targets can also attack beyond those containers, making the whole structure tactically relevant.
Not limited to highlighted weak points
The walkthrough explicitly says players can damage colossal targets outside designated zones. HUD containers remain useful target information, but they are not the only physically meaningful part of the encounter.
The Land Battleship example
The approximately 450-meter Land Battleship demonstrates the scale of these encounters. Players must read weapons, structure and surrounding targets rather than chase only one highlighted box. Exact component health remains unpublished.
