The game has one set of scores per mission, with no difficulty setting. They match the ACE scores players have reported. Lower difficulties may use the same scores, but this isn't confirmed. A score marked "out of order" doesn't fit with the ranks around it in the game data. It's probably a typo in the game files.
Aces (1)
Points are the enemy's base score in the game files. For squadrons, the points are per member.
| Ace | Points | How to unlock the record |
|---|---|---|
 Custos | 1,920 | Destroy the named aircraft that appears in Phase 1 of Operation Long Shot when all LCAC survive. |
