Allies (#) Pilot (Ace Rank) Weapons (Type/Pilot Skill)

Your friendly guide to allies, pilots, and weapon types in Front Mission 3 Remake. Learn about ace ranks, pilot skills, and how to best equip your Wanzers for victory.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Front Mission 3 and want to get a handle on your allies and their gear? Smart move. Understanding who's got your back and what they're packing is key to surviving those tough missions. Let's break down the allies, their pilots (especially those ace ranks!), and the weapons they'll be using. When you're looking at your roster, you'll see your allies listed, often with a count of how many you have. Each of these allies is piloted by someone, and some of them will have an 'Ace Rank.' This isn't just a fancy title; it means they're particularly skilled pilots. Keep an eye on these aces – they can turn the tide of a battle! Then there are the weapons. You'll see them listed with a 'Type' and the pilot's 'Skill' level for that weapon. This is super important! Just because a Wanzer can equip a certain weapon doesn't mean the pilot will be super effective with it. Their skill level dictates how well they can use it, so you'll want to match pilots to weapons they're good at. For example, a pilot with a high machine gun skill will be way more dangerous with a machine gun than someone who's only got a basic skill level. Think of it like this: you've got your squad (the allies), your star players (the ace pilots), and their specialized tools (the weapons and their associated skills). You'll want to make sure your best pilots are using the weapons they excel at to get the most out of your units. Don't be afraid to experiment a bit in the intermissions to see who pairs best with what. It might take a little trial and error, but getting these combinations right will make a huge difference when you're out there on the battlefield. Good luck!
