⚠️ Key Point: The Season Pass content is already integrated here, so you don't need to hunt for extra mission files separately. If you're looking to optimize your experience, let me know:

2) Plane classes & recommended airframes (general)

• Fighters (balanced): Good all-rounders for main campaign missions. Recommended: F-22A, Su-57 class equivalents, or high-maneuver planes unlocked later.
• Interceptors (high turn): Best for spicy dogfights; recommended for ace missions.
• Multirole (weapons variety): Flexible for ground+air objectives.
• Strike/Attack: Best vs ground and ships; use on missions with heavy ground/ship presence.
• Bombers: Rarely used in AC7 but useful on specific objectives requiring heavy ordnance.

Skies Unknown tells a surprisingly poignant story of penal units, drone warfare, and the blurred line between duty and treason. Protagonist “Trigger” navigates a war where allies are untrustworthy and the skies are dominated by a mysterious enemy ace, Mr. X. The game’s melodramatic yet earnest tone—complete with radio chatter, scripted squadron banter, and cinematic cutscenes—translates remarkably well to the Switch’s portable form. Being able to experience the gut-punch of Mission 4 (“Rescue”) or the frantic escape of Mission 6 (“Long Day”) on a commute or during travel amplifies the game’s pick-up-and-play nature while retaining its emotional weight. The Switch’s sleep mode allows players to pause mid-mission, returning seconds later to a tense dogfight—a feature that synergizes perfectly with the game’s mission-based structure.
