User blog comment:The Ace of Razgriz/Things I noticed./@comment-1824272-20120814191044/@comment-4535398-20120815212138

For my first theory I thought that the Morgan was the Falken and X-02 put together. For history I thought that some Belkans took the Morgan and made the Falken used in AC2, then later EASA "took" the Falken and made the X-02 (Kinda like in AC3 with the X-49 Night Raven.) Thought to be honest this is just me guessing.

As for the second, the part with some aces only showing up on some difficulties was part of the point. On mission 16 the only Ace squadron that has a pilot description as they were shot down by Galm was Gault. This is also the same for Mayhem on Mercenary where Pops and Bartlett appear. What also made me believe in this was what a player would have to do in order to fill the Assault Record. So I thought that Cipher's true path would be revealed if the player could shoot down all the aces and find the pilots that had been described as shot down by Galm and not a Mercenary squadron.
