Assault Horizon received lower-than-projected sales and immense backlash, forcing Bandai Namco to drop what they had in there. The hatred spewed out of Ace Combat fan communities - both Japanese and English - for DFM completely killed the feature. It's never coming back.

It's been previously stated that we'll have some kind of advanced maneuver capabilities in Ace Combat 7, but as the game is still a while away, they're clearly not ready to share how that'll work just yet. We can probably expect something similar to OFF mode from H.A.W.X.
