1* FollowTheLeader: The series started as heavily derivative of ''VideoGame/AceCombat'', though with more realistic elements such as cockpit-only view, flares, multiple radar ranges and the ability to outfit your plane with different real ordonances.
2** DerivativeDifferentiation: ''MAX'' shifted the mechanics further toward realism and the last two games, released overseas under the ''Lethal Skies'' name, overhauled the setting, although this could also be interpreted as a response to ''VideoGame/AceCombat3'''s futuristic settings (The Neucom Megafloat in ''Ace Combat 3'' and the mega-floats in ''Lethal Skies'' are conspicuously similar).
3* NoExportForYou: ''Sidewinder 2'' and ''Sidewinder MAX'' were not released outside Japan despite featuring extensive English voicework. Creator/{{Titus}} planned to release ''MAX'' in Europe under the name ''Iron Eagles MAX'', but this release was cancelled.
