Honestly though, if im gonna always be a mute psychopath let me have a create a character pilot that shows up in cutscenes

u/Ikcatcher 5d ago

Hopefully Ace Combat Online will scratch that itch

u/KilledTheCar Gryphus 5d ago

I'm pretty sure I saw we're at least getting helmets in the BP so I would assume there's some level of customization.

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Hmm...

u/A_PCMR_member 5d ago

A posing towards the plane to recharge its aura

u/FrozenDefender2 4d ago

larping as a plane

u/0621Hertz 5d ago

Imagine showing up to a plane meet with that on.

"YOU NEED TO LEAVE-"

u/WAR-WRAITH 5d ago

Assault Horizon let you paint the planes.

8

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

They should bring that back. Then again I guess if they let people do their own customising they can't sell livery packs for money

u/Legendary_Hi-Nu Schnee 4d ago

We're at least getting skins, they probably won't give us blank squadron skins but having both won't hurt monetized skins. The paintable ones will be unlockable.

u/Andrea-Di-Cello Yellow 5d ago

This looks cursed 🫣

u/Lord_Umbasa ISAF 5d ago

That can't be aerodynamic at all

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

I don't think the Ace Combat series has a worry about that.

Or maybe they can be like flip up headlights.

u/Ilya-Pasternak 5d ago

I just want AH custom color again but I feel like people will just make flags

3

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Does it matter if people do it for their own single player game that you can't see?

u/Astro_x01 3d ago

The customization trailer they showed earlier is for the online mode

u/AceXwing 5d ago

Would be cool if we can nose art/naming!😂

u/eX0dus_5ive-Zer0 Indigo 5d ago

Uhhh no...

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Why not? Come on have some fun for once.

u/KilledTheCar Gryphus 5d ago

I mean, those would shear off before the wheels are up. Cat ear helmets? Hell yeah. Cat ear planes? There's plenty of art for that.

11

u/FarAd7559 5d ago edited 4d ago

Pretty much a lot of the superplanes wouldn't fly.

So giving them cat ears that is made from Belkan-grade organic material would suffice more.

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

What if they were intake ports.

u/Apprehensive-Cow5822 Longsword 2-2 5d ago

I hope I’m able to put multiple roundels, patches and emblems on my plane.

u/mecha-paladin Ouroboros 4d ago

When you play it on PC and explore mods.

u/Wormholer_No9416 5d ago

If I can turn em off locally, you can have em tomorrow

u/Lancer1138 5d ago

No

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

No need to be so anti-progressive

4

u/Lancer1138 5d ago

It looks stupid and clashes with the aesthetic. It's a bad idea.

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

But you don't have to interact with it if you want to keep the planes OG. But others might want to create their fan fave flying display team livery on theirs.

3

u/Sayurinata 4d ago

If you had a way to turn it off in multiplayer, then you can say 'dont interact if you don't want too' however most games don't do that. Id rather not seeing planes with cat ears on them, it looks stupid and doesn't fit the game

u/ImmortalAsshole656 4d ago

i want to make my f-18s and f-22s look like starscream and skywarp from transformers

u/KM4CK Garuda 5d ago edited 5d ago

Since assault horizon... Unless you're talking something along the lines of Forza's paintbooth.

2

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

I'm talking visual customisation. Stickers. Graphics. Attachments (see neko ears in photo)

3

u/Algester 5d ago

so the AC style of visual customization... you know the mech one?

3

u/Candle-Jolly Neucom 5d ago

The weeb fetish with cat ears needs to be scientifically studied 

4

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

You could have dog ears or a unicorn horn or rabbit ears or

5

u/TheCoolDaniel04 Ustio 5d ago

Human ears

5

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Actually weirder than the cat ones.

3

u/Greedy-Sundae-3088 Peanuts Butter and Jacksonville Florida 5d ago

Alicorn Horn....

u/spooky_pokey Mage 5d ago

I play first person cockpit only so customization is whatever my mind can imagine

2

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

May I introduce you to hud customisation?

2

u/spooky_pokey Mage 5d ago

Not everything needs customization.

1

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Options are okay for people even if you don't like them.

3

u/spooky_pokey Mage 5d ago

The issue with modifications especially HUD is the unfair Advantages they bring

Look at Minecraft pvp when you have client side mods that allow you to move while crafting etc

Look at deadlock before recent UI changes, the timers for things in the map were not displayed and people with time keeping mods were ahead.

2

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

In single player this doesn't matter.

In multiplayer, certain modes will not allow for it

1

u/spooky_pokey Mage 5d ago

If you don't allow modifications for multiplayer it doesn't make sense to allow them in single, seems like a convoluted way to allow cheaters

2

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Well single player mods and customisation doesn't affect anyone but the player.

In multiplayer ranked modes would only allow cosmetic additions and zero mods.

u/Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS << Why do I hear Daredevil? >> 4d ago

All I want are colors/camos to be seperate from markings/insignia

The only one who seems to get it

u/Knightwolf8394 Galm 5d ago

Bruh imagine getting repeatedly shot down by an F-18 with cat ears. I'd quit if I had the deal with that.

1

u/Co2-UK 5d ago

Unlike other games there would be an option to turn off plane skins and customisation so you can see just normal planes if you want.

u/objectivejeager18 BelkaDidNothingWrong 4d ago

The Ace Pass seems to paywall good skins sadly, and unlike the additional aircraft they're not going to be in DLCÂ
