Making matters worse is how the game constantly forces you to rely on DFM.Taking out all elements of strategy and skill and making it more like a glorified on-rail shooter than an actual air combat sim-cade. This makes dogfighting, the key gameplay element of Ace Combat, extremely artificial. Sometimes the enemies will pull a DFM on you, but all you'll have to do is to maneuver your aircraft and find a good time to perform a QTE, which allows your plane to perform an impossible maneuver to get behind the enemy once again. Basically when you get close enough to an enemy plane, you lock on to the target and enter an automatic chase mode, all you'll need to do at this point is to adjust your plane's heading and speed and make sure the enemy stays well within your targeting circle, either using your cannon to shred the enemy plane, or wait until the targeting circle's inner portion fills up and unleash missiles to blow the enemy out of the sky. One of the game's major features is Dogfighting Mode (DFM).
