Skin Trivia

• Despite having a humanoid, none of the skins had a Funny Face since they are all faceless.
• The same humanoid used in the previous Ace Pilot variants is also used in the Military Base and Mecha Base.
• The original Level 3 icon shows a blue monoplane, which did not appear in-game with any skin at the time.
• Technically, as the Grumman F6F Hellcat and F22 Raptor (and originally the A6M5 Zero and the F-35 Lightning II fighter jet) are at a cruising altitude, and both models have retractable landing gears, they should not have their landing gears deployed.
  • The Hotshot skin has aircraft with retractable landing gear. But they appear to be up.
• The bomb bay on the Level 2 and higher Ace Pilot will open when its dropping a bomb.
• The Level 1-2 aircraft for the unreleased Hotshot skin is a Piper Cub, armed with machine guns on its wings.
  • The Level 3-4 aircraft resembles a North American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft with the iconic invasion stripes livery, also known as the D-Day markings.
  • The Level 5 aircraft is the iconic Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" with the iconic "Shark mouth" paint.
    • Ironically, despite having the powerful and famous GAU-8 Minigun in front of the aircraft, three machine gun pods can be seen attached to the undersides of both wings. This could mean that the GAU-8 at front of the A-10 does not do anything, and the only guns that fire are the gun pods.
• The Hotshot skin appears in Wrecked Battlefield II, despite not being present in-game.
  • However, they are not the same as the ones posted in the Tower Defense Simulator Discord. Most notably, the stripes on wings and the spades are removed.
