Aircraft Lore

Back in 1988, Girida (which is literally just Finland mixed with some Soviet aftertaste) started the High Maneuverability fighter program or HMF, in which Samses and Vorskleir Industries is tasked to compete with each other. Vorskleir Industries comes up with the X-4 Iridescent, a highly maneuverable yet unconventional aircraft, Samses comes up with the Sa-70 Nicknamed "Macaw". Surprisingly enough, Vorskleir won the competition with the Sa-70 at mostly everything, from firepower to speed. However, the Sa-70, is far more maneuverable than the X-4, which is surprising considering that the X-4 is a forward swept wing design which in theory could perform better than the Sa-70, the Sa-70 is also far more reliable and cheaper than the x-4, with 237.9 Millions Bevlov (Girida currency) cost differences. In the end, the Sa-70 won the High Maneuverability fighter program (or the HMF Program) and was later developed into the Sa-72 nicknamed "Atlas" (NOTA Nickname "Frederator") so in the end, the Sa-72 is still in service today with a very high kill to death ratio, even in today conflict.

Aircraft lore

The aircraft you can download here is the Ace Pilot "laivastonsininen", or "Navy Blue", being a very feared ace pilot with high kill Ratio in many conflicts throughout the 2010s, with him having 78 Kills in the Battle of Forsvek alone, all with his trusty Railgun underneath his aircraft, which is powered directly by the aircraft engines. So basically, he's an Ace Combat protagonist, an ace pilot feared and honored by those who faces or fight alongside him.
