Unlike other ground towers, the attacking unit of the '''Ace Pilot''', the plane, is an air unit. The '''Ace Pilot''' will circle around the runway. At Level 2+, this can be changed to a figure eight. With its ''Toggle Reverse'' ability, it is possible to reverse its flight path. The '''Ace Pilot''' is armed with a pair of machine guns on each wing at the base and will shoot any enemy within its patrol radius. At Levels 2–5, the aircraft will periodically drop a bomb directly where the targeted enemy was last, exploding and damaging any enemies caught in the explosion. The explosion is separated into two spheres. Enemies in the inner sphere will be dealt 100% of the stated damage, while damage in the outer sphere decreases linearly by distance from the edge of the inner sphere to the edge of the outer sphere. Since its bombs deal splash damage, they ignore [[defense]], dealing full damage to the enemies with [[defense]]. These bombs can also damage [[Lead (Attribute)\|Lead]] enemies. Due to it being an air-based tower, it is immune to stuns, and because it is not a humanoid tower, it is also immune to debuffs ~~that~~from ~~appear~~enemies asadded ~~icons~~before ~~on the tower~~[[v1.9.0]]. Additionally, because it is an air-based tower, it can detect [[Flying]] enemies. At Level 4+, the '''Ace Pilot''' will also ~~give~~grant nearby towers hidden detection with its ''Hidden Assist'', giving towers without hidden detection, like the [[Ranger]], the ability to detect [[Hidden (Attribute)\|Hidden]] enemies. Its machine guns are then replaced by a single autocannon, granting it higher damage and firerate. The '''Ace Pilot''' boasts a high DPS, but its limiting range and inconsistent circling cripple its full potential. Therefore, in most situations, it does not operate at the highest DPS most of the time. The '''Ace Pilot''' has a placement limit of eight per player. ==Upgrades== {{Upgrade\|~~Upgrade Title~~Level = Level 1\|Upgrade -Title = Greased Guns\|Cost -= {{Money\|~~200~~225}}\|Image = [[File:AcePilotLevel1.png\|100px]]\|Information = +1 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]] Sell Price changes to {{Money\|~~250~~241}}}} {{Upgrade\|~~Upgrade Title~~Level = Level 2\|Upgrade -Title = Bombs away!\|Cost -= {{Money\|~~350~~625}}\|Image = [[File:AcePilotLevel2.png\|100px]]\|Information = +1 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]] +Figure8 Flight Path [[File:AcePilotFigureEight.png\|20px\|Figure8]] Line 47 ⟶ 51: •4 Bomb Cooldown [[File:Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|Bomb Cooldown]] ~~•2.5~~•3 Explosion Range [[File:ExplosiveRange.png\|20px\|Explosion Range]]}} Sell Price changes to {{Money\|~~366~~450}}}} {{Upgrade\|~~Upgrade Title~~Level = Level 3\|Upgrade -Title = Aerial Ace\|Cost -= {{Money\|1,~~850~~500}}\|Image = [[File:AcePilotLevel3.png\|100px]]\|Information = +1 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]] +1 ~~Damage~~Range [[File:~~Damage~~Range Icon.png\|20px\|~~Damage~~Range]] +0.522 ~~Range~~> 0.15 Firerate [[File:~~Range~~Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|~~Range~~Firerate]] 10% Speed Increase ~~0.208 > 0.108 Firerate [[File:Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|Firerate]]~~ {{CollapsibleUpgrade\|Title = Upgraded Bombs\|Description = ~~•20~~•30 Damage [[File:SplashDamage.png\|20px\|Splash Damage]] •4 Bomb Cooldown [[File:Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|Bomb Cooldown]] ~~•2.5~~•3 Explosion Range [[File:ExplosiveRange.png\|20px\|Explosion Range]]}} ~~Sell Price changes to {{Money\|983}}}}~~ ~~{{Upgrade\|Upgrade Title = Level 4 - Spy plane - {{Money\|3,200}}\|Image = [[File:AcePilotLevel3.png\|100px]]\|Information =~~ Sell Price changes to {{Money\|950}}}} ~~+0.5 Range [[File:Range Icon.png\|20px\|Range]]~~ {{Upgrade\|Level = Level 4\|Upgrade Title = Spy Plane\|Cost = {{Money\|3,000}}\|Image = [[File:AcePilotLevel3.png\|100px]]\|Information = +3 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]] ~~+3 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]]~~ +Hidden Detection {{Hidden\|Hidden Detection}} Line 77: Grants Hidden Detection to nearby towers [[File:HiddenDetectionOld.png\|20px\|Hidden Detection]] •7•10 Range [[File:BuildRange.png\|20px\|Hidden Detection Range]] {{CollapsibleUpgrade\|Title = Upgraded Bombs\|Description = •30 Damage [[File:SplashDamage.png\|20px\|Splash Damage]] Line 83: •2 Bomb Cooldown [[File:Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|Bomb Cooldown]] ~~•2.75~~•3 Explosion Range [[File:ExplosiveRange.png\|20px\|Explosion Range]]}} Sell Price changes to {{Money\|21,~~050~~950}}}} {{Upgrade\|~~Upgrade Title~~Level = Level 5\|Upgrade -Title = The Surging Sky\|Cost -= {{Money\|87,000}}\|Image = [[File:AcePilotLevel5.png\|100px]]\|Information = +6 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]] +10.15 > 0.12 ~~Range~~Firerate [[File:~~Range~~Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|~~Range~~Firerate]] 10% > 35% Speed Increase ~~+7 Damage [[File:Damage Icon.png\|20px\|Damage]]~~ {{CollapsibleUpgrade\|Title = Upgraded Bombs\|Description = •45 Damage [[File:SplashDamage.png\|20px\|Splash Damage]] ~~35% speed increase~~ ~~{{CollapsibleUpgrade\|Title = Upgraded Bombs\|Description = •40 Damage [[File:SplashDamage.png\|20px\|Splash Damage]]~~ •1.5 Bomb Cooldown [[File:Cooldown Icon.png\|20px\|Bomb Cooldown]] •3•4 Explosion Range [[File:ExplosiveRange.png\|20px\|Explosion Range]]}} Sell Price changes to {{Money\|4,~~716~~283}}}} ==Ability== Line 109 ⟶ 107: }} ==~~Stats Table~~Statistics== ''To see all the previous statistics of this tower, see the [[/History\|history]] page, while for the statistics without the [[Firerate Bug]], visit the [[Firerate Bug/Ace Pilot\|Firerate Bug]] page.'' {{neow\|<nowiki> ~~<div class="overflowbugy" style="width:100%;overflow:auto;"><center>~~ <var> ~~{\| class="wikitable" style="width:1350px; text-align: center;"~~ $GDPS$ = Normal Damage / Firerate ~~! scope="col" style="padding: 5px;" \|Level~~ $BDPS$ = Splash Damage / Bomb Cooldown ~~! scope="col" style="padding: 5px;" \|Total Price~~ $TDPS$ = $GDPS$ + $BDPS$ ~~! scope="col" style="padding: 5px;" \|Normal Damage~~ $CE$ = Total Cost / DPS ! scope="col" style="padding: 5px;" \|[[Splash Damage]]<ref>Number is the damage dealt in the inner explosion sphere.

However, it can decrease the firerate of the guns. *Damage buffs due to a bug can only increase the damage of bombs, making the [[Mercenary Base]] much less effective. Unlike the [[Pursuit]], the '''Ace Pilot''' does not stop to hover over an area whenever an enemy enters its range. *This means that the '''Ace Pilot''' is unlikely to be attacking all the time, reducing the effectiveness of the tower.

On Level 2 and 4, the '''Ace Pilot''' upgrade names have capitalization errors. The model of the '''Ace Pilot''' may lag behind the actual tower, making it look like it attacks enemies that are out of its range. On Level 2 and 5, the '''Ace Pilot''' upgrade names have capitalization errors. Additionally, there are two spaces between "''Aerial''" and "''Ace''" in the Level 3 upgrade name instead of one. The Level 5 upgrade name, "''The Surging Sky''" is a reference to a fake leak of the Level 6 '''Ace Pilot''' upgrade.
