Ace Combat 8 MRP Calculator: Free Aircraft Tree Cost Planner for 32 Best Jets
The Ace Combat 8 MRP calculator adds up the MRP price of the aircraft and parts you want from the Aircraft Tree and tells you how many more missions it will take to afford them.
MRP is the only currency in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, and the tree gets expensive fast. The F/A-18C Hornet is free, an F-22A Raptor costs 550,000 MRP and the X-40 Nightmare costs 1,000,000. Pick your targets and the tool shows the bill and the grind.

How the Ace Combat 8 MRP Calculator Works
Every aircraft and part in the Aircraft Tree has a fixed MRP price. The Ace Combat 8 MRP calculator adds the prices of up to three aircraft and three missile parts, subtracts the MRP you hold, and divides the gap by what you earn per mission.
- Enter your MRP from the hangar screen.
- Enter what a typical mission pays you.
- Pick up to three aircraft.
- Tick any missile parts you want.
- Read the total, the shortfall and the missions left.

Best Aircraft for Your MRP by Role
Ace Combat 8 sorts aircraft into Fighters, Multirole, Attackers and Electronic Warfare. A balanced hangar has one of each of the first three, because missions switch between air and ground targets.
| Budget | Fighter | Multirole | Attacker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 130,000 | F-14D Super Tomcat (90,000) | F-2A or Mirage 2000-5 (130,000) | Su-25SM Frogfoot (90,000) |
| 180,000 to 240,000 | F-16C (180,000), F-15C Eagle (240,000) | Su-47 Berkut (180,000), Gripen E (240,000) | A-10C Thunderbolt II (180,000) |
| 350,000 | Su-35S Flanker-E | Rafale M or Typhoon | F-15E Strike Eagle |
| 550,000 and up | F-22A Raptor, Su-57 Felon | F-35C Lightning II | None at this price |
You can carry two different Special Weapons at once alongside standard missiles and the gun. The Rafale M lists HCAA, LACM and LAAM, and the F-35C lists LACM, HCAA and 8AGM, which is why both are popular all-round picks.
Parts Worth Their MRP
| Part | MRP | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| MSL.RELOAD+ | 5,000 | Faster standard-missile reload |
| MSL.AIR.POW+ | 10,000 | More missile power against air targets |
| MSL.GND.POW+ | 10,000 | More missile power against ground targets |
| Target ID Accelerator | Not published | About 22% shorter missile reload |
| New High-Energy Propellant | Not published | About 13% faster standard missiles |
| Bypass Ratio Optimization System | Not published | About 5% more top speed |
| Long-Range Enhanced Shells | Not published | Up to 20% longer gun range |
The three missile parts cost 25,000 MRP together, less than any aircraft above the starter tier, and they carry over to every plane that can equip them. Buy them before your second aircraft.
Ace Combat 8 MRP Calculator Worked Example
You have 150,000 MRP, earn about 40,000 per mission and want the F-22A Raptor. The Ace Combat 8 MRP calculator shows 550,000 MRP, a gap of 400,000 and 10 more missions. Add all three missile parts and the plan becomes 575,000 MRP and 11 missions. Choosing the Su-35S instead drops the bill to 350,000 and the grind to 5 missions.
