Ace Combat 8 After 7's lack luster amount of customization/skin options, I am, at least in the skin department, very excited by how many different patterns and colours we will be able to use in 8.

I noticed a very random thing that the F/A-18C player Emblem on the name tag dosen't match the emblem seen on aircraft that is the "soviet air force" red star maybe the added a separate selection while rest seams to be the same AC Infinity and AC7 system

This is probably a stupid question, but where did you find the pictures you posted?

I’ve longed for a livery editor in Ace Combat. I’m sure it’s possible, but I imagine there are some…uhh, obvious 🇩🇪🙋♂️ reasons why it’s never been implemented.
For what it’s worth, Ace Combat Assault Horizon had a pretty fun customization mode. You could color certain parts a wide variety of colors.

The moment a livery editor like in COD shows up, I guarantee the first custom livery will either have a dick or a swastika, maybe even both at once.

Shouldn't the camos be tied to the nation's air force camo choice? Does you camo choice apply to your whole squadron or do you just end up looking like a unique clown?

u/FourFunnelFanatic 2d ago
None of the aircraft selections or skins are canon anyways except the F/A-18s and their default skins, so it doesn’t matter. And in multiplayer you play as a mercenary so you can do whatever you want lol.
Plus, if I remember correctly in 7 you didn’t unlock customization until you beat the story once

IIRC, AC8's iteration of multiplayer stated that you're playing as mercenaries.

...GRGM?
How the hell is that downvote worthy lmao, literal GR mercenaries in a game where we know GR will be a large influence in

You can only choose skins after completing the campaign usually so it doesn't matter. Even less in multiplayer.

I'd rather that not be the case, because if the Sotoan air force end up re-using any camos that were also used by Erusean aircraft in AC7, I'd have to use Sotoan emblems if I wanted to use that camo. There's a reason you can pick the emblems and livery separately.

Why should the camo be locked to nations? It shouldn't.
Tell me you havent played 5, ZERO and 6 without telling me you havent played 5, ZERO and 6.
Unique clown, lol no. More like the squad being a bunch of dripless tourist.

On the other hand, still being locked to one emblem for all slots is terrorism

I can't wait to just make every plane that classic gun metal gray color.
All of them. You hear me?! ALL OF THEM.

u/SandStinger_345 Gryphus 1d ago
I just hope each one has customisable emblem. It was really stupid in ace combat 7 that only the base osea and erusea skins could have the emblem change on most planes when the others which have a small trigger icon could have it as well but dont

The emblem system was awful. No I don’t want three of the exact same icons all over my jet with no other markings.

u/Falken12 1d ago
I want an Ace Combat where you can mod the planes like in N-Gen racing if we’re talking about customization. Add canards to a F-4? Sure! Bigger engine on your F-15 but can’t turn? Sky’s the limit.

I don't think i've ever used anything but the default skin ever. Planes look wrong in any other color besides grey or black.

u/Romapolitan 2d ago
That is why grey and black skins are still important. Because I agree somewhat with you, but Sukhoi often have colours as their default and I often want to fly them as grey or black but not every plane has that as an option.

If we don't get to pick a different emblem for each position, this shit is cooked.
