I myself have a dA account, though it's gone months without so much as a new journal. I'd comment, but since this Suethor is apparently another product of the "remotely derogatory remark = tantrum-inducing personal attack" school of thought, I'd be asking for trouble. Not worth getting reported for someone so petty.
Makes no difference one way or the other; I've already claimed a fic as my first target, so I'll leave this one at the mercy (or lack thereof) of the rest of the Agency.

I'll stick to the ground. I'm more comfortable having an assault rifle or shotgun in hand than a joystick, though, the idea of cruising at G-Force in the air is thrilling and gives me an adrenaline rush, I'm better at pointing at shooting. First-Person shooters are my forte.

There's one I want your opinions about.

What is it? A potential good crossover or a complete mess? I cannot say for sure. Maybe because English is not my first language. However, there are some errors only about Hermone's (thats it, Hermione is apparently an ace pilot) plane:
1) There is no such thing as a F/A-27 (the XFA-27 never became a production fighter in AC canon)
2) Wrong missiles: the XFA-27 has AIM-9M Sidewinders, but the fic states the F/A-27 uses MM-7s, whatever they are, and starts with a loadout of 26 missiles and 2 QAAMs, that doesn't make sense both in Ace Combat canon (worst loadout I know of are 52 missiles and 6 QAAMs on a rather scrappy plane) and in reality.
3) Wrong engines: the XFA-27 has two engines with unknown technology, the fic states that the F/A-27 has four pulse detonation ones. Believable about the pulse detonation engines, but where the hell are supposed to be the two extra ones? This guy is confusing the XFA-27 with the YR-302 Fregata, the special ability of the XFA-27 is to fire up to four missiles at once instead of two.
Since the fic relies a lot on equipment description, giving out each one wrong is not good.
