One of Ace Combat 5's weak points was in its weapon loadouts, mainly because you were forced to have one certain special weapon on each aircraft. You couldn't choose. However, I think that customizable loadouts is a little too far. A lot of people are really involved in the whole realistic side of the aircraft that we can choose from, as in, their models and loadouts and statistics. I'm all for choosing between a set of special weapons like Ace Combat 04 and most other AC games, but I don't know about customizing.

As for what I was talking about with making some of AC's original aircraft available as DLC.... well, I meant that to be in a balanced way. Of course no one should be able to download the game and then immediately be able to purchase the FALKEN and TLS. However, I think if they do it right, they can include some original aircraft (ASF-X and Nosferatu so far) for free in the game, but offer the others for prices. Probably at the end of the story campaign or something? Plus, some of the original aircraft (XFA comes to mind) have one stat where they absolutely fail in. So, like I said, I'd be all for having some of the original aircraft as DLC. But as long as it's balanced, as you said. :)

In other news: Thanks to Qbicle and Demons of Hræsvelgr for staying up with me in the chat to see if anything would come out at 9 AM Paris time. Unfortunately, we didn't get anything. :/ Might have to wait until Gamescom on August 21st to see anything more.
