User blog:Razgriz6/Is the Arsenal Bird from AC7 like the Ark Bird (plotwise) from TUW (AC5)

With Ace Combat 7 on the horizion and with less than 24 hours to release I figured there is no better time to ask this question. Is the Arsenal bird basically the Arkbird from Ace Combat 5? I got so excited for AC7 that I went out and bought AC5 (I previously did not own it, I figuted it would be well worth the $6 I found it for) in my playthrough of AC5, I encountered the Arkbird (the mission to protect the launch facility was a nightmare) none the less I had to shoot it down. Well I started to think, what if the Arsenalbird is the Arkbird? Here are a few similarities in the two;

-Both made by Ocea

-Both orginally intended for peace (loose for the arsenalbird)

-Both were weponized

-Both will/have been shot down

-Both were aquired by the enemy

I'd love to hear your thoughts below!
