You know what? I don't think it would. What will happen is that everyone will find their favourite loadout and fly with little else. Especially the loadout they consider will cause the most mayhem!

It's human psychology, and not just limited to games players.

I'd respectfully disagree. I fly mudmoving a lot, and the type of the loadout I pick always depends on the mission and is by far not only one, favourite, per plane. I too have been thinking about this idea myself a long time ago, wondering why it wasn't implemented from the start anyway. While I agree it wouldn't add much variety, it would at least make picking the loadouts a lot more confortable. Look at the P-47 for example, which misses the combination of extended ammo and external loadouts. If you want do add this, you'd need to double the number of existing loadouts (all loadouts with and without extended ammo). List of loadouts would be halved if you could simply tick extended ammo on or off separately from bombrack loadouts. I fail to see one single reason to prefer our existing system over the proposed one.
