In hindsight, a ton of AC aircraft came out rather weak considering the source material. They were my first mods and I was more worried about balancing, considering that the vanilla Jet Fighter is just 75 combat strength (compared to Bazooka's 85).

If I had access to my old PC which has the SDK, I likely would have buffed the air units' strength like crazy. And yeah, I would've also take a look at the Wyvern's Science gain since 50% is cheap change compared to Atomic/Information Era Science gain.
Doom_Slayer_919 23 Dec, 2024 @ 9:24pm 
I feel that the X-02's science gain is too weak compared to the other aircraft and their capabilities. In the late game you're fighting units with up to 150 combat power but only getting 50% sci of that combat power per sortie when you're making 1000-2000 per turn, making it just a slightly better fighter half of the time.

Maybe we could make the X-02 S model a promotion (once you get a T3 upgrade maybe a +10 to total power?) while giving the sci a boost from 50% to 100%-150% of combat strength gained in science?

Sorry if this came off as a rant about how I think that the Wyvern is weak...

Since my last mod work I honestly haven't put much thought into updating stuff as I have not yet figured out what new things I could add or improve what's already present, much less find the time to get to implementing them.

Stuff like custom ingame models are still only a pipedream so I cannot promise anything in that regard (unless someone is willing to make one or point me to an existing model used in another mod that could work). Likewise, so is any coding wizardry that only lua can provide.

If you'd like to offer suggestions on what you'd like to see, please don't be afraid to post them here (or in the Ace Combat Wonder Pack mod). I've pretty much retired from Civ V modding work... though I wouldn't mind coming back ;)
SammoSan 10 Aug, 2023 @ 9:21pm 
I asked this question on the wonder pack mod as well. But I'd like to know if we are getting any upcoming updates.
Voltrock 24 Apr, 2022 @ 12:43pm 
J-20 already here, arsenal bird i m working on it. i can work on all planes
大嘴其实嘴不大 20 Apr, 2022 @ 3:11am 
can you make a mod of j-20 fighter
ceo of ralsei 11 Oct, 2021 @ 3:29am 
was hoping this mod would have gotten new models by now. what a shame.
GodtierJojo 20 Dec, 2020 @ 1:48am 
so are the models in the game right now?
Voltrock 10 Oct, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
I ve got stonehege, space elevator, arsenal bird in 3D model. Now i search to include it in civilization ^^ (i don't know how do it). i ve Su30 too
But i can do all skins easily, many aircraft already here with air unit pack

I think, it s possible to have a strategy game game from ace combat univers :)

Now, i need motivation and some guys to help me xD (not for skin but xml file)
1stRunner 23 Apr, 2020 @ 10:46am 
Will there be an update for the models?
DAS_HORN 26 Oct, 2019 @ 11:11am 
I'm waiting for change of aircraft models
HistoricHippos  [author] 25 Aug, 2019 @ 11:58am 
@Fludix9
Glad to hear that you enjoy the mod! And for the time being, all of the jet fighters are using the default jet fighter model whereas the flying carriers/warships are using the airship model from the Empire of the Smoking Skies scenario
boolf 25 Aug, 2019 @ 10:44am 
i absolutely love this pack. ive never played the ace combat games but this defenetly is making me want to play. i was just wondering if there were unique models for the planes bc they look really cool in the little profile picture. please keep up the amazing work
Snipurs 29 Jul, 2019 @ 4:24pm 
fenrir has amazing capabilities, but it's no match for the southern cross' flying!

Here's the ADF-11 one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3499709

And the Morgan: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2801417
HistoricHippos  [author] 20 Apr, 2019 @ 7:36am 
@Creegull
Do you have links to them?
Creegull 20 Apr, 2019 @ 7:04am 
Hi there, just to let you know, there are a few unique ace combat plane models on thingiverse for the morgan, falken, wyvern and raven
Breadbeard 27 Jan, 2019 @ 1:08pm 
okey, but thanks for all tries.

While the Stealth Bomber model is more accurate for the aerial warships (since they share the same general outline), it's likely that this will result in a the aerial warships simply sliding over the ground/sea rather than actually hover. I initially used the Carrier model and seeing it slide along the ground kinda ruined the impression.

Now if I were able to separate a unit's ingame model from the animations, that would be a different story...
Breadbeard 27 Jan, 2019 @ 1:01pm 
can u at least give the wAigon and Gleipnir the model of an stealth bomber pls? That will be alot better than this one wich they use now
HistoricHippos  [author] 25 Jan, 2019 @ 6:11am 
Unfortunately, none of the units have a unique model that I could find or use (especially the airborne warships/carriers). To make matters worse, I personally do not have any experience making my own unique models.
Creegull 25 Jan, 2019 @ 1:29am 
Hey there, does this have models for any of the planes? Regardless I’m loving the attention to my fav series getting some modding love!
HistoricHippos  [author] 6 Jan, 2019 @ 8:33am 
Didn't run into any issues when spawning the three aerial warships, Gleipnir included. Was it just the Gleipnir that was crashing your game?
HistoricHippos  [author] 6 Jan, 2019 @ 8:26am 
@Imperialism
I shall look into the matter immediately.
Imperialism 6 Jan, 2019 @ 1:09am 
I was going to recreate the Aurelian war, but my game keeps crashing everytime I build the gleipnir?
Breadbeard 23 Oct, 2018 @ 12:55am 
Oh hell yeah , he is back :)

I thought about the Aigon and Gleipnir, but the models are better
Minimurder28 22 Oct, 2018 @ 4:14pm 
Sorry it is taking so long, some family stuff came up and I ended up forgetting. I'll set them us within a couple days and send you the link.
HistoricHippos  [author] 22 Oct, 2018 @ 4:12pm 
@Breadbeard [EE]
Uh, which two do you want to look more like Stealth Bombers? The Hresvelgr and the Aigaion?

And with my limited knowledge regarding how unit's ingame appearances, I picked the airships because they actually hover as opposed to something else which would glide along the ground.
Breadbeard 22 Oct, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
Oh no... I hope you get the models. It is such a beutiful mod.
But, can you change the Model of these two into a (maybe bigger) Stealth Bomber when you are back?

It will look more like the originals as an balloon in my Opinion
HistoricHippos  [author] 22 Oct, 2018 @ 12:58pm 
Won't be able to make any fixes or updates for my mods until this coming winter when I can get back to my PC and minimurder28 hasn't made any replies...
Breadbeard 22 Oct, 2018 @ 9:42am 
How is it going with the models ?

:)
HistoricHippos  [author] 9 Sep, 2018 @ 5:18pm 
@minimurder28
Try to if possible, otherwise feel free to send me a friend invite and provide the link through DM
Minimurder28 9 Sep, 2018 @ 4:37pm 
Can do, however I dont think steam will let me post the link here.
HistoricHippos  [author] 9 Sep, 2018 @ 6:47am 
Preferably through Google Drive.
Minimurder28 9 Sep, 2018 @ 6:35am 
Right, how should I send them to you?
HistoricHippos  [author] 9 Sep, 2018 @ 5:29am 
@minimurder28
Sure, I'll have them. See if I can get them to work in the future.
Minimurder28 9 Sep, 2018 @ 4:06am 
So, I do now have models for both the Gleipnir and Aigaion, if you want them to try to import.
Lucius, the Heavenly Dragon 8 Sep, 2018 @ 7:42pm 
Thank you very much, I didn't expect a reply so quick.
HistoricHippos  [author] 8 Sep, 2018 @ 7:34pm 
Yes, the aerial warships (the Hresvelgr, the Aigaion, and the Gleipnir) are all units that can be built and even have their own unique promotion trees.
Lucius, the Heavenly Dragon 8 Sep, 2018 @ 5:50pm 
Are the Aerial Warships units? I'm going to subscribe anyway, but I would just like to know, as it will take me a few weeks to get that far ahead because the game I'm playing has this: Epic Game Speed with Standard Build Speed and tons of building and units.
Aatrocy 21 Jul, 2018 @ 7:24pm 
gonna favorite and subscribe to this mod as soon as the planes ve their own model
Minimurder28 1 Mar, 2018 @ 6:49pm 
Gotcha, ill try to find it again. also i think i might have found a Aigaion model.
HistoricHippos  [author] 1 Mar, 2018 @ 6:40pm 
@minimurder28
Unfortunately, I don't have my PC around to make any new mods or update old ones until I get back home for summer. But when I do, I'd like to try it out.
Minimurder28 1 Mar, 2018 @ 1:45pm 
I have a low poly gleipnir model somewhere if you wana try making that work
HistoricHippos  [author] 17 Feb, 2018 @ 7:23am 
@Fry McFly
The units recycle ingame unit models, specifically the Jet Fighter and Airship models; no custom unit models used. I figured images of the units weren't necessary.
Fry McFly 17 Feb, 2018 @ 7:13am 
No pictures from the Units in the game itself?
VirgoCompany 3 Jan, 2018 @ 3:57pm 
I aprove of this mod greatly. I think the people behind the ethnic unit packs could lend a hand in creating the models you need, but I don't know if they take requests or are active.
HistoricHippos  [author] 2 Jan, 2018 @ 10:40am 
@Silverfishv9
The jet planes use the default jet fighter ingame model while the heavy command cruisers use the Sky Fortress model from the Empire of The Smoky Skies scenario (which will have to suffice until someone makes a custom model of a hovering aircraft carrier)
Silverfishv9 2 Jan, 2018 @ 10:34am 
Do they have 3D models?
