'''Flying Fortress''' is the [[Monkey Ace (BTD6)|Monkey Ace]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It grants~~ Monkey Ace ~~the ability to fire 3 projectiles per shot from its~~ [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] attack, instead of only 1 ~~at a time~~. One of these projectiles targets First, one targets Last, and one targets Close (relative to the Monkey Ace, not its runway). This upgrade reduces the [[Attack ~~Cooldown~~|attack cooldown]] of the Spectre attack by 33.33%, increasing its attack speed by ~50%.

All attacks now gain the {{BTD6 dt|Normal}} damage type.

The darts from the Spectre barrage now deal +14 [[MOAB-Class damage]], the barrage's bombs are improved ([[damage]] from 3 to 5, while keeping +4 [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic]] damage, and pierce from 20 to 30), and increases the damage of Monkey Ace's main homing darts from 3 to 6.

{{outdated|FF CHIMPS nerf in v55.0 may affect the Rosa FF carry. More specifically, is it still viable?}}

Flying Fortress excels at high rapid-fire damage regardless of [[line of sight]]. It stands out on [[Boss Bloon Event]]s for two reasons: it's super effective DPS when superbuffed, and carries most of the pop requirements for [[Goliath Doomship]].

In [[CHIMPS]], the Flying Fortress can carry the rest of the standard rounds if this upgrade is afforded soon enough, particularly when paired with [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]]'s Ace discounts. With some micromanagement of Rosalia and the [[Spectre (BTD6)|Spectre]] during the 80's, Flying Fortress can be afforded by the late-80's, which trivializes the rest of the game. Doing this is quite easy on maps with a single or alternating lane, but on maps with multiple simultaneous Spectre struggles and may still lose to some fast late game rounds such as 99 after affording it.

Like Spectre, Flying Fortress prefers top crosspaths for maximized DPS, except versus [[Phayze]], which demands internal ~~camo~~ detection.
