So you want to slap an S-rank on each mission for that Sol Emblem and some nicknames? Well you've come to the second best place. This guide takes and partially condenses information from the Ace Combat Fandom site(wiki?), giving you a pocket reference for each mission, excluding DLC, right here in your Steam client both in-game and out. Links to the mission list on Fandom can be found below in the guide. Accuracy Tuned - Part One In regards to time spent on a mission, checkpoint restarts will count against you. If you want to be close to the target time as possible, I would personally suggest a restart from the beginning. Mission 01: Charge Assault Earning an S Rank on this mission requires earning a combined Destruction Score and Time Bonus of 20,500 points or more. The maximum Time Bonus the player can earn in this mission is 10,230 points, awarded for completion in a total of 4 minutes and 50 seconds or less. Completing the mission in that time or faster, 10,270 points from destroying enemies in the mission will earn the S rank. Since the bombers only account for 10,200 points, the rest must be earned by shooting down MIG-21s. Taking longer than 4 minutes and 50 seconds to complete the mission will decrease the Time Bonus by 30 points per second. As the maximum points from destroying enemies in the mission is 13,060 (not including the ace), the S-rank cannot be earned if it takes 6 minutes and 23 seconds or longer to complete the mission. Mission 02: Charge the Enemy Earning an S Rank on this mission requires earning a combined score and time bonus of 33,000 points or more.

If the player can complete the mission in that amount of time, they only need 7,450 points from destroying targets in the mission itself to earn the S Rank.

If you're looking for the previous Legacy Score Tables, I decided to remove them. They weren't contributing anything and just looked ugly 'cause formatting just isn't a specialty of mine.
