Ace Combat 04: Shatterd Skies: Pugachev's Cobra?

When I played the Stonehenge mission in Ace Combat 04 and got to the Yellow Squadron battle, I decided to go in for a guns kill. As I unleashed my GSh-30, the enemy Su-37 pulled off Pugachev's Cobra. I couldn't believe my eyes, because I thought it was impossible (last Ace Combat Cobra I saw was in Ace Combat 2, the ZOE Commander ADF-01). I recorded it in the replay via iPod Touch, and uploaded it here to YouTube for all of you to see.

Also, in Ace Combat 5, I fired a missile at a B-2 in the White Bird (Part I) mission, and the B-2 released a flare, confusing my missile. Did this happen to anyone? Because I also thought flares were never used by humans, or the AI in any Ace Combat game.

@brian199645 which AC games can you cobra on?

[Tomyeta1]

@UNpilot15 is AC: Assault Horizon, one of the evasions in DFM ( Dog Fight Mode ) is a Pugachevs Cobra, but you need to a fly a Warsaw Pact plane ( Su-35BM, PAK FA, any Mig or Sukhoi

[UNpilot15]

@Tomyeta1 F-22s can cobra as well.

In easier difficulties, their cobra pattern is readable. If one of them try to do it, he will fly slow and straight. At this moment, you can slow down to shoot your missile. When you're going for gun kill, you better stay in your missile range, at the cobra time, move closer to shoot. Well, in Ace difficulty, they are harder than ever. They can do a sudden cobra in the middle of a turn. Even Su-47 struggles against their super-tight turns.

@BlackBaron1945 yeah. I've pulled my hair out due to frustration of their cobras on ace difficulty. my state-of-the-art X-02 couldn't keep up with their cobras!

[brian199645]

@UNpilot15 on all my AC games except AC2 wich are 4, 5 and zero

[UNpilot15]

@BlackBaron1945 man, tell me about it! I was getting ready to shoot one of 'em at the Megalith level, and the guy just cobra'd on me. Afterward, my missile warning goes crazy, I look behind to see 3 Yellows on my ass, and then they blew my ass to oblivion.

[BlackBaron1945]

The Yellows above Megalith can perform Cobras even more frequently. Check it out.
