Fighters with bombs and rockets are a non-issue. They have more than one way to get exp, and level up. My concern is leveling up planes with only guns. Planes can strafe, and shoot down other planes. Strafing targets is fairly hard, and I play fighters all the time. To non flyers, this is hard as hell. Shooting down other planes that aren’t novices is also difficult, as good pilots will reverse the situation rather quickly and kill you. What I suggest is either narrowing the tree for each type of plane without rocket/bomb options, or drastically increasing the exp these types of planes receive for downing planes, strafing targets, or both. It is hard to imagine a bigger waste of time in the game than leveling fighter planes with only guns. They are already such a niche squad in the game mostly relegated to trying to stop other good pilots, and bombers, therefore not utilized by many. They could be rather fun at times, but no one, including people that love flying fighter like I do wants to grind a squad that is used so little already, and actually hurts the team of the pilot taking a more useful squad out of the fight to cap, or defend points. I don’t think it’s a stretch for an ask.
