Reboot turns out into a death blow for this series!

I cannot believe what happened with the great Ace Combat franchise.
While this one has the best graphics, the gameplay itself became the worst of all.
Like some reviewers mentioned, this installment is like a Call of Duty campaign with wings. Too much scripted moments, degrading to a very linear gameplay.
Namco really messed up this time. Wonder how the project manager and game designer will get smacked by the uppers of Namco.
I also was disappointed that planes like the LCA, J-10, J-20 did not make it into this game but still sticking with obsolete planes like the F-4 Phantom as a special plane. This is ridiculous.
This serious was still great with AC6, but now?
This time a reboot resulted into a deathblow.

Never thought that sn Ace Combat game could be even inferior to Tom Clancy's Hawx.
I think i go back to AC6 and Over G Fighters.
