Looking at the cockpit of the Morgan from this perspective, it feels like that's the FALKEN's cockpit somehow.

Well, the Morgan is pretty much a progenitor of the Falken, so the similarity is understandable.

Air Jousting needs to be made into a tag.

There's actually quite the story behind the COFFIN cockpit system. I think Ace Combat 3 (the good Japanese version) explained quite a bit of it.

The COFFIN cockpit basically puts a hard metal shell where the glass would normally be, and puts cameras on the exterior for a full 360-degree view on the inside for the pilot. As you can imagine, this allows for all manner of software-based targeting enhancement and, for the sake of players, a generally more futuristic feel.

In this picture, not only is the plane obviously down an engine, but the entire cockpit has been blown completely open. That the pilot is even still trying to fly speaks volumes; even in a full suit, the gusts within that cockpit must be incredible.

That was in the firsts COFFIN sistems like the Falken, Fenrir, Forneus, etc, the ones in AC3 didnt had cammeras but a neural interface that puts you in coma, giving you full control of your plane and better reaction times, its like if you where the one flying, not a plane, its supposed to be like the HUD view in the game.

I believe the technical term is a "merge", but yes, I agree.

"Awesome Mecha"?
