In this development update, we're introducing the aircraft and weapon unlock systems, along with loadout customization.
Players can equip a wide variety of weapons to their aircraft's hardpoints with a high degree of freedom. As long as a weapon is compatible with the hardpoint, you can choose how you want to configure your aircraft, allowing the same aircraft to perform very differently depending on its loadout.
There will also be aircraft and weapon unlocks to progress through. As you play, you'll gain access to new aircraft and a growing selection of weapons that can be combined into different loadouts.
Loadout customization isn't simply about equipping stronger weapons. You can specialize an aircraft for close-range dogfighting, long-range engagements, ground attack, or create a more versatile configuration depending on the mission and your preferred playstyle.
We plan to introduce a variety of aircraft and weapons with different characteristics and roles. Rather than having a single optimal setup, our goal is to give players plenty of combinations to experiment with and encourage you to develop loadouts of your own.
You can see the aircraft and weapon systems currently in development in the video below.
