Skins Alterations... yay or nay?
 

Will we be able to pick between painted green or base chrome for the B17's, or day or night camo for mosquitos, will we be able to put a russian logo on a hurricane, etc etc?

will the planes have any degree of customization, uploading nose art for example, squad crests etc.???

from what iv heard u get different skin presets but no customization

Correct.

cool, well its better than nothing, shame u cant add your own squadron crests etc. but thats a stretch for consoles, maybe on PCs skinning will be easier :) never know, some may become DLC.

It's not coming to pc.

hah... i miss the paint shop in Red Baron. Creating custom skins was fun... but all the people with neon paint schemes puzzled me. they were easier to spot. very easy. lol

really? i didnt know that, awesome, nice to finally get something the PC isnt :)

and lol lemming barrons :)

i painted my planes silver so it looks metal not wood (hopes for extra hp)

Battle of Britain Storm Of War will be coming to pc. When? Nobody knows.

lol, i made a skin for a Halberstadt D II like that once. it had metal plates with rivets all over it.

because?

u get storm of war

that looks beautiful *dribbles*, uhhhhmm...



oh yeah :-P, i have a feeling we may see this on PC before the end of next year, in it's current form or as a sequel, what dev/publisher hasn't said 'their game is XYZ exclusive and will always be XYZ exclusive' only to be proudly announcing it for the thing they never said it would come out for.

Stranger things have happened.

I don't mind new skins as DLC, as long as it doesn't change the performance of the base plane like they did in Ace Combat 6. God, were those downloads expensive rip-offs, and using them in multiplayer was like cheating because they were so overpowered. I hated that. It's safe to say I did't buy any of them.

Say 10 skins for 100 MS points, then I'd buy. 200MS points, maybe. No more.

Would of been good if you could have your own markings on the planes... much like the clan tags in call of duty... instead of clan tags though, upto 3 letters or numbers on the fuselage of your planes.

god a B17 would look sexy with 202 down the fuselage :)

i was thinking more of a hurricane with YB-W (my old squadron on EAW - RAF 17TH) or FO-Z lol.

I bought all of the Razgriz ones. Yeah, I'm a nerd. AC5 was my favorite Ace Combat (best story by far).

I didn't use them in MP, though.

I had two bright red wings, and the rest was a wooden fuselage of an Albatross DII and DIII. Those were some good times :D

That's until your swarmed with 109s and FWs. But don't worry, if you fly the Il-4, I will protect you :D :cool:

Your allied with us ;) so hopefully you'll be protecting that B17 anyway in your yak :)

hmmm the quote didnt quite come out right!!

Your right!! :cool: :confused:

EDIT: Maybe if I'm flying a P-51, then I'll protect your B-17s. But I'll probably be a dedicated Eastern Front pilot :D :cool:

Yeah, "Go dance with the angels, mister." All the AC games had great gameplay but I can't stomach the weird-ass stories.

Well AC5's story was much better than AC6 and its dance with angels crap that had no link at all with the missions you flew until the last mission. AC5 felt like you were in the story. I even felt a bit sad in that night patrol mission when your wingman had to ditch his plane into the stadium killing himself but saving hundreds of people (though I did wonder what happened to the 50 odd dead aircraft that must have rained down on the city, maybe everybody had really strong umbrellas? lol)

He's just protecting you untill you are on his territory and the mechanics can strip your plane apart

:rolleyes:

Hmmm dedicated eastern front pilot..... fair play :)

any idea how the multiplayer works in terms of bombing the airfield etc?

is it "allies v axis" meansing you can using russian fighters/bombers with RAF/USAF fighters/bombers together?? this making any sense?


or is it gonig historic and using only certain scenario planes for each map?


its something ive not really looked into or thought about until now.

Damn, my sinister plan has been foiled!! :rolleyes:

I used to make a lot of skins for IL2 back in the day. I can certainly understand not being able to do so on the console, But I would at least like to see some skin DLC for various planes, like the Tuskegee Paint Schemes or something like that. Heck if they manage give us a DLC that allows for easy colouring of the planes, that would rock, but I don't see that happening. But notable paint schemes in future DLC's would be very nice.
