in unity we can do this to make an array of a custom class.

 public List<CustomClass> Container = new List<CustomClass>();

but in godot I cant seem to do something equivalent to that I can make an array but not make it use my custom class with it

Godot version 3.3.2

Mid 2021 was desire, but we are already past that and not even alpha is out.
But we might expect that alpha come out soon based on this:

Hi,
godot arrays are allways of type variant, there are no typed arrays.
But that does not hinder you from using it with your custom objects.

Groups probably provide similar functionality to what you're wanting:

Unfortunately no groups would definitely not be ideal for what I'm trying to make, thanks for the reply though.
