Would be great to see some dussack too.

Buy the way, since a katana was mentioned, it would be pretty cool to have a japanese and a chinese character. I know the game is set on early modern europe, but it would be great to see oriental fencing in this game's realistic style of swordfighting.

The Schiavona is very close to one

Absolute support for the "langes messer".
in the fechtbuch from Lecküchner are lots of depicted instrructions specifically for messer to make some nice moves from.

We have a dussack already now so we have a messer with more hand protection :D

a Dussak is much shortet than a two-handed Krieg Messer

Well, I'd probably like to see Langes Messer as well. But I'm not sure at the moment whether it was still in use at the time the authors choose. It's the start of 30-years war period, after all. Though the Isabella's long sword also is a bit outdated at this time (it, and real zweihander were still studied at fencing school but mostly not used in the field...).
As for Langes Messer as a stand-in for katana, we should remember that while blade shapes were similar, even Japanese katana and Chinese miaodao (as well as Korean kom) have quite different techincs. Though there are later-period syncretic schools trying (with varying success) to combine them, but they were developed on already existing basis of pronounced differences (know this because I trained in one of them in my youth).
