These aircraft will be configurable, unlike PS1. With the different add-ons, they will behave like totally different aircraft and fill different roles.

Also, the vehicle timer will presumably be balanced around the fact that you will only be able to pull one aircraft at a time. If you die quickly and aren't able to pull a new aircraft for a little while, it's probably intentional. We don't know if this will happen or not though, so let's not speculate too wildly until we get some solid information on vehicle timers (or the PS2 equivalent).

I take it as thrusters arent scythe main "engine" for flying and maneuvering, but only for added afterburner.
