DescriptionEdit

In the Strangereal canon, the X-32 prototype lost the Joint Strike Fighter competition. Despite its defeat, the aircraft remained in development, and it was acquired by many countries as an alternative to the more expensive F-35C Lightning II. During the global transition to corporate governments in the 2030s, General Resource LTD. obtained several X-32s which subsequently underwent extensive airframe & hardware modifications, such as the inclusion of the COFFIN software. The final result was codenamed F/A-32C Erne.

As mentioned previously, the Erne underwent several airframe modifications, such as its unusual two dimensional thrust vectoring flap, steeper-angled wings and a ferri-type air intake. As well, the Erne possesses an extra engine, which combined with the air intake allows for a large increase of the aircraft's max speed towards mach 2, as opposed to the X-32's 1.6. The aircraft features a traditional passive stealth design although this does incur some penalties in terms of aerodynamic performance. As is standard on all combat aircraft during the time of the Corporate War the F/A-32C features a full COFFIN (COnnection For Flight INterface) control system. Earlier production models had a more traditional hands-on cockpit followed on from the X-32.

The F/A-32C was commonly used in the middle of the war of 2040 by the GRDF. The aircraft saw more use as a strike/attack aircraft than as a fighter since by this time more capable aircraft were appearing that weren't hindered by stealth design as much as the F/A-32C. Less action was seen by this type towards the end of the Corporate War of 2040

GameplayEdit

The aircraft appears in both versions of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (Japan and Export/US). To unlock the Erne in the Export version, the player must complete mission 18 (Bug Hunt) with A ranking.

In gameplay, the Erne is slated as a multirole aircraft, however it is best suited for anti-ground missions due it its low speed and arsenal.
