*** For even more fun, launch another QAAM from a different angle and spice things up with standard missiles. The AI will have a very hard time trying to figure out which one to focus on dodging.

** Playing "chicken" with enemy fighters. If you can fly head on towards an enemy, get within missile range, and launch a pair of missiles, 9 times out of 10, the enemy fighter can't maneuver quick enough to get out of the way. Of course, at the same time the enemy fighter likely has you in their radar as well, but for some reason they don't fire missiles back as long as you're charging at them in full throttle.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: InUniverse, the Wyvern is mentioned as the latest in Erusean technology, but isn't encountered anywhere in the game.

** ''[=AC04=]'' is in fact one of only two games in the ''Ace Combat'' universe where the super-fighter of the game doesn't actually factor into the game itself other than as a player reward. ''VideoGame/AceCombat2'' is sort of the other one -- one of its two superfighters, the XFA-27, is only a player reward like the X-02 here, but the other, the ADF-01, is piloted by the TrueFinalBoss after shooting him down every time he shows up in a conventional fighter.

Note that only in "Lifeline" and "Shattered Skies" do the Yellows have invincibility; in "Lifeline" they don't even have collision detection, but connecting with a shot against a Yellow in "Shattered Skies" results in Yellow 13 mentioning it and the whole squad retreating for the rest of the mission.
