So I did two playthroughs of AC3 to unlock everything. And I've noticed something... Interesting. I think I have an explanation for the mass amounts of conflicting information regarding plane unlocks.

See, everyone THINKS planes are unlocked by doing certain missions with A ranks.

This is false, as I've discovered.

See, in my first playthrough, I unlocked the R-201 Asterozoa on Fragile Cargo (Mission 7). But in my second playthrough, I unlocked it in mission 6! The difference?

In my first playthrough, I didn't A rank Joint Maneuver. In my second one, I did. So the R-201 isn't unlocked by A-ranking a specific mission, it's unlocked by A ranking 6 missions. I'm certain this also applies to planes like the F/A-32C Erne, which I've also heard a lot of conflicting information about.

I'll continue to report my findings.
